GET THE BOUJEE BURGER! I mean guys.. it was so incredible! The arugula on top of melted brie paired so nicely with the Angus patty and fig jam. The Dirty Burger was massive and had layers and layers of flavor. Our waiter also provided incredible service, he was very attentive and knew the menu well.

Not gonna lie, I was hoping to love it. We live close by and after being thoroughly disappointed with the quality of food at Zinc’s, I was hoping this would become our place. Everything I tasted was just meh. My husband enjoyed his stuffed meatloaf but commented that he wouldn’t order it again. Seems like a great place for drinks, but it certainly wouldn’t be the first place I’d recommend to visitors.

My buddy raved about a meatloaf he had on Central some years ago, after scouring the avenue for the restaurant we found it! His meatloaf was beautiful, the mushroom-fig bruschetta was delightful, the dips in the chip appetizer were tasty. Only downside was my burger seemed a little outclassed by the other menu items; a tad over priced in my opinion, hence the 4/5 stars.

Do you enjoy overpriced food during the day and so loud you cant even hear your own thoughts music during the night? If so, this is the place for you! In all seriousness, this place sucks. Everything costs too much (probably due to location) and the dance music at night is so unbearably loud that you cant have a conversation with anyone.

This place is absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend it. I ordered the chef salad, and it was so flavorful. My mom ordered the chefs special sirloin (not on the menu) I’m including a picture of it. They also have items for kids! Really great wine list and an amazing staff. We might have to come back again before we go back home.

Always good in my experience with a great selection of rotating beers on draught. Can be a bit pricey but you pay for the location. Plus I like that almost every time Im there, 90s/00s era trip hop is being played.

I gave this place two tries, but the second visit wasn’t any better than the first. I didn’t enjoy any of the food or drinks that I had on either occasion. On one occasion my food was cooked so hard and dry that it was almost burned. The drinks were poorly mixed. It was just a bummer.

The smash burger and shrimp tacos made time come to a complete stop. So flavorful and unique! Thank you for making such amazing food! The service was just as anazing. Keep it up.

The apple Brie sandwich entre is a good value, you get a full sandwich with soup and salad. The calamari is good but not exceptional. The duck confit fries was good though I wasnt that big of a fan of the sauce. Even though it was in the middle of the day and barely any people, we got great service.

I had a great lunch experience here today! The place, firstly, is very stylish but not pretentious! The menu was easy to navigate and had great options that I think would groove with anyone’s palette. Also, if you’re looking for good drinks the bar is drink menu is so ! The spirits are top-notch so you’re getting all the bang for your buck. I recommend the Smash Burger & cheesecake, they’re phenomenal. It’s perfect for casual dining and a fun date night, all the excuses to come back for more. So glad this new sweet spot exists!

New ownership has reinvigorated this old favorite. The ambiance is great and the menu worth exploring. We had the bruschetta and the pate and thought both were fantastic, though I hope as they settle in to their rhythm here they will move away from seed bread and store bought crackers.

Review №14

Poorly designed menu, no creativity, burned food and before you order the waitress let’s you know they don’t have items available. In top of all of this, over priced for items you can definitely make at your own home. Never again! What happened to this place?Positive note: Service was great, she was pleasant and attentive. Did a great job!

First our water was soapy, it took too much time to bring out hot water for tea. menu was not the same after the renovation with few options. 4 out of 5 plates were brought out because there was a fire in the oven and only took off half price. manager was friendly but only because they were recording him for a show or something. food was decent but overpriced. very disappointed!

The new menu and renovations are incredible. Every option on the food menu is a great option with a tasteful variety of cocktails and wine to pair with the food. The updates to the interior are classy while still feeling accessible with affordable prices across the entire menu.

Spring has sprung and the outdoor patio is open for business! Always a pleasure to dine with friends and family at Nob Hill Bar & Grill, especially a great lunch out on that patio. If you like a good salad, the Wedge Chicken Salad is for you. Several choices of dressings make it even better (lemon basil, please!). Scallops for dinner are excellent. Staff is generally friendly and polite. Only once was I underwhelmed by our server, other than that, never had an issue with anything there be it food or people. Enjoy!

Nob Hill B&G consistently delivers high caliber cusine with attentive service. I live in southeast NM come but when Im in town I come here for the food, primarily seafood. Ive lived in many big cities and this restaurant keeps up with a standard of service expected in high-caliber restaurants in downtown major metro areas. You will be happy, its not overpriced.

Really delicious food and very crafty cocktails. The service was terribly slow, including the kitchen. But everybody was immensely friendly. The vibe is very sleek, hip and modern.

Review №24

First time here was amazing! The service was very professional and the food was 10/10. I ordered a Dirty Burger which is a homemade patty with Chile con Queso, bacon, fried onions and a fried egg on top, some sweet potato fried and also I ordered a Yeti stout and was delicious. If you are in town you should come and give it a chance you would not regret it.

Review №25

It probably would have been great had their menu been anything like they have online, we ended up going to another place, because the new menu was really dull compared to what we were expecting.I have eaten here plenty of times though and the food was always great. Just wish the information was updated.

Review №31

My order was decent, but my friend’s water was soapy and disgusting. My other friend ordered tea and the fried chicken, got the hot water 15 minutes later, and the chicken was done when everyone was already done eating. The menu is over priced and just bad service as the restaurant was nearly empty. Even feeling a little sick after eating the shrimp tacos.

Review №37

First visit, food was outstanding as was the service. Prices seemed fair for the quality provided. Servers were super courteous. In all fairness, it was a Tuesday night and only 3 or 4 tables occupied. Got a coupon for half off brunch and asked if served during the week since expiration date was 3 days later on Friday and we thought brunch was a weekend thing. Server got confused and said to come on weekend and they would probably honor it. I would have preferred she ask a manager and provided a solid answer.

Nice atmosphere. Had the boujee burger, waffle fries, an Odell 90 shilling, a Bible Belt Stout sample, and the bread pudding. All of it was excellent. The staff was nice. Couldnt ask for more. Had a great time.

The beer hall is a great place to grab beers when friends and family. They offer a handle full of food option. I would recommend it to anyone!Awesome brewery. Beers are good, location is cool. The space is large, casual, and fun.Cheers

I’m so disappointed with the new ownership. This place is terrible now! The new menu is small and overpriced. Ordered the Shrimp tacos. Was told they were out of avocado. The tortillas were cold, the shrimp was burnt and the slaw was super acidic. My partner ordered the burger and said “for a $20 burger it should have had some flavor to it.” Guess we’ll have to find a new date night spot.

Review №41

Disappointed. Asked to be seated at a table and hostess said they were reserved. (4 open tables) Ordered two beers and waitress comes back saying they were out of one of the ones we chose. Ordered an appetizer and food was so over salted. When we were leaving over an hour later only one of the four tables was filled. Wont be going back.

I love playing Geeks Who Drink here. Wide range of beer. I prefer the 90 Shillings. Food could be better. Ive tried multiple items on the menu and I always have one issue or another. I keep hoping to find something I love. Good atmosphere though. The bar tables are a bit uncomfortable for sitting for long periods of time (like during trivia).

Review №57

We stopped by when our first choice (next door) was super busy with an event and they suggested their neighbor restaurant. It was about 7 pm on a Wednesday. Their happy hour is weird having no beer or wine specials. Our server was new but she was great! Really down to earth and genuine. Service was on the slow side. It took a pretty long time to get our food considering the place was not busy at all. The biggest bummer was the expensive ahi tuna sandwich they didnt know how to cook. I request my tuna rare as a formality but its well known tuna should be served seared and rare. Well, it was basically cooked through. So the server brought it back to be cooked rare and, again, service was slow with the replacement. It was less cooked but still not done properly (about half cooked with no sear). It was pretty clear they were cooking the tuna steaks low and slow... I guess the temp all the other food cooks at. Its odd because they have so many ahi tuna options on the menu, how do you not know how to prepare it properly??? And its not a cheap sandwich either, for $18 it needs to be done right or take it off your menu.

Exactly as described, an upscale gastro pub. Had the crab mac n cheese and meatloaf. For the price thought the mac and cheese could have had more crab but everything was tasty amd service was friendly.

Review №61

Service is usually a hit or miss. I went the other night and my fries were hard and my burger was pink. Maybe it’s new servers and new cooks but management needs to train everyone better. I love coming here but the last few times the service and food sucked.

Review №64

This is the place I come when Im tired of the local brewery beers. Sometime you crave something else besides IPAs or a kettle sour...which none of the breweries here in Albuquerque have mastered yet. Nob Hill bar and grill has a great list of craft beers NOT made in NM. like Stones imperial stout, or Prairies imperial stout..thank you for having these types of beers. Food is great too, any of their burgers are awesome!! The only reason Im not giving it 5 stars is wait staff was slow. Sometimes you get stuck in a rut, and you show up to the same local brewery so many times you have a beer waiting for you as soon as you walk in the door, Nob Hill B&G is a welcome change.

Review №66

Excellent food,good happy hour drink prices, I didnt appreciate them adding in a 20% gratuity because we had 5 people in our party. On a happy note our service was great so we added extra for the tip, I still believe the customer should decide how to tip for service.

Review №67

Nice enough looking spot, and I’m sure their food would have been fine, but my wife and I could not get over the disgusting smell from behind the bar!I don’t know how management would allow a bar to smell that bad! Instead of masking it with ammonia cleaners, how about pulling out the coolers and addressing the problem. Also, its about time you have your taps professionally cleaned because my Double White Ale by Marble tasted more like a sour than a Belgian inspired wheat ale.

Review №68

A dear friend and I have been coming here for years because we had a favorite bartender who, unfortunately, is no longer here. Two weeks ago we had the worst service Ive ever experienced, we walked out. After a little persuasion, we decided to return and were pleased. There was a different bartender, Steven, and he was awesome! The service was prompt, polite and its totally resurrected my experience of this place. Im glad he was able to restore faith in one of my go-to hangouts.

Food was really good. Cocktails were great. Service was very slow, the food took almost an hour and we didnt see our server for at least 45 minutes. Yet she still felt justified in adding a 20% gratuity. Overall not a terrible experience, but for the price we expected more.

Overpriced, mediocre food. Understaffed, I had to ask multiple people for multiple things, multiple times. I took my husband and father there for a nice fathers day dinner and was severely disappointed. Dont waste your money.

A classy place that not only serves good food and good vibes but also turns into a nightclub after-hours. We were seated there with a wonderful waitress who is very attentive and the food was served fresh and fast with attention to detail almost to the point of being chic. Would highly recommend for a family or younger couple out on the town.

I read a lot of previous reviews who said they didnt know how to cook meat and my experience was the exact opposite. Perfectly cooked fancy burger and amazing green chili BBQ sauce. Plus Chipotle katchup. My wife had tacos with a rice Patty which was a unique side that tasted great and had some cut jalapeno.

Review №77

I have been to this place on numerous occasions trying to give it the benefit of the doubt. Their food was very mediocre the one time I ate at this place. What saddens me is the club part of the night. There is a lot of young people a lot of college students that go there so thats why I come forward for the entertainment for the nightclub part of it but as an African American woman I do not feel very welcomed. And every occasion that I have been here I have always waited 20 to 30 minutes and the bartender will look at me knowing that I would like a drink and would always get someone else. I feel like scum every single time I go here. The only person that even she says with any type of decency is the girl bartender that works at night.

Review №79

I dislike writing bad reviews. Especially when it’s a place I had enjoyed before. This was like being told that they weren’t interested in my business.It was during Summerfest. We had just closed our Nob Hill business after 12 long customer service hours. My wife wanted a dessert, she chose Sorbet, that they were out of. So, she decided to get festive and ordered an Espresso Martini. The waitress came back, apologetically, and stated the bartenders were to busy to make it!!That’s a great way to keep clientele!My wife ordered a replacement again, but I decided they really didn’t want our business and WE LEFT!!I hope the management reads this!

So my friends and I came here to play Geeks who Drink and it was really fun!! I’ve been to this establishment before and have always been impressed with the food. Their beer selection contains a lot of great beers from neighboring states which I think is really cool.I strongly recommend any of their burgers or the meatloaf! Ahhh, just typing this is making me hungry.Oh, apparently after like 10 or 11pm on weekends this becomes a club type thing which I wasn’t aware of. I’ve heard good things but have never been here for that.Overall, great place! Friendly staff and amazing food....

Review №83

Try the dirty burger! I was told that if it wasnt the best burger Ive had in Albuquerque it would be free. I ended up paying for my own burger... the wait staff doesnt come around quite as often but the location is great and the interior is comfortable while still having that upper middle class feel.

I decided to check out this place on Christmas Eve because they were the only place open nearby. The bartenders were great despite us being the only customers at first. A few more people rolled in and we ended up getting a game of Cards Against Humanity going. I actually took a my lady friend here and it was a great way to spend Christmas Eve, met some great people and had fun.

My wife and I used to love this place. Something changed in last few months. The cooks can’t cook meat anymore... Did their chef quit??? If you order the stake medium rare... you get charcoal! Hamburger medium??? Nope, charcoal... They used to have the best Hamburger in town. Now, it’s a source for mediocre dead burnt boot leather. This was the 4th time in a row. Never going back.... SAD FACE!

Review №90

This is a frequent spot for me to get lunch, dinner, or superb craft beer. I usually sit at the bar, as the table service can be inconsistent. Sometimes the beers are a bit expensive, but it’s often because they are rare finds that cost a lot to brew. The food is often good, but again somewhat pricey. Go for happy hour and sit at the bar, and things should be fine.

Excellent! The food was superb. We had prosciutto wrapped jumbo scallops and the house salad. Both were very good. The salad was large enough for the two of us to share. The service was good but could be excellent if the waiter offered us the fresh, cracked pepper every time instead of us having to ask for it for each course once we learned of its existence.
