Range Cafe Downtown - Albuquerque

This restaurant used to be the Standard Diner and has since been transformed from a rebuilt gas station. They have retained the meat from the original Standard Diner, which drew the attention of Guy Fieri on his show, Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. The food was excellent, and the shrimp tacos were also quite delicious. The atmosphere was lovely and, despite the bustling environment, the service was attentive and efficient.

That was without a doubt the best chicken fried steak I've had in years. The portion was very generous, and it was expertly breaded and fried to perfection, topped with a delicious cream gravy. The potatoes were quite good as well, but the green beans truly stole the show. They were seasoned perfectly, and their freshness was evident. In addition to the fantastic meal, the service was outstanding.

I discovered this restaurant on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and had to check it out while in Albuquerque! The waitress recommended the bacon-wrapped meatloaf and the coconut chocolate cream cake. The meatloaf was delicious and cooked perfectly! The mashed potatoes were moist, not too creamy, and the meat had great flavor. The vegetables were also well-prepared. The coconut chocolate cream cake was rich and creamy with a light, fluffy crust. It wasn't overly sweet, making it a lovely way to conclude the meal. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the drinks, but to be fair, I’m not much of a drinker myself!

Wow, we were lucky and found this place. I usually look for DDD spots and missed them. We share the Biscuits and Gravy Deluxe, so good. 2 biscuits, 2 bacon, they said 2 eggs (but it was 3 and really good potatoes. In any case, try a place for lunch or dinner as some of these dishes also looked incredible. We will come back

I saw an episode of Diners, Dives and Drive-Ins and really wanted to taste the apple pie with green hatch chiles and I finally was able to try it out! Before I talk about the pie I want to let you all know that both the service and the combination plate were excellent! Now for the pie! It came out warm with white cheddar cheese atop and a side of vanilla ice cream. The pie was well made and the flavor profile I thought would be odd but it really worked well. I was pleasantly pleased with this dessert! Different and interestingly a winner with me as I wasn?t sure if I would like the combination of ingredients! Be sure to check this eatery out when in Albuquerque NM!
