Christy Mae's Restaurant — Restaurant in Albuquerque

This place is currently open under the limited restrictions imposed by the state of New Mexico. They have established a seating arrangement that assures no customers are seated at a table in close proximity. The staff are serving wearing masks and gloves and they were quick to clear the tables vacated by customers. And they have a sanitation practice that made me feel comfortable. They also offer take out. I met a friend of mine for a late lunch. They offered a full menu. My friend was delayed so I was faced with a problem. I found myself reviewing the menu multiple times and changing my mind every time about what I was going to have. I have never had a bad meal here. I arrived thinking I was going to order a Green Chile Turkey pot pie. I normally would recommend it but Albuquerque was having a 90°F+ temperature. In the end I ordered a BLT sandwich. The sandwich was lavished supplied with bacon and each half a handful. I substituted a cup of Green Chile Cream of Chicken soup in lieu of the excellent sides also offered. The sandwich came with a pickle, a slice of cantaloupe, a strawberry and a slice of pineapple. No room today for any of their excellent selection of deserts. We enjoyed a fried zucchini appetizer. One of over six tempting choices. Families and gathering of friends were represented at other tables. And I heard more than one customer tell their companions that their meal was worth the trip. My friend had a sirloin steak cooked to order. He ordered a potato salad side dish. A side dish I have had before and easy to recommend. This establishment has been around for years. Try their menu and you will...

Went here with my family. This isn’t the type of food I was really looking for, but I’m glad we went. I had to try the Turkey and Green Chile Pot Pie, and I get why it is one of their most popular items. Pro tip: crack it open, stir it, and let it cool before you dig in. I did, and it was still piping hot when I finally took a bite. Worth the wait.

My niece got a sandwich with chips, and I stole a couple. No joke, I almost ordered some on the side. If you like thick-cut potato chips, get them. They’re awesome. My brother likes his fries extra crispy, so he treats the chips like that and eats them with ketchup. Not my move, but I get it.

I went back a couple of days later to try the Peanut Butter Pie. I liked it but didn’t love it. To be fair, I think I expected something different. It wasn’t bad at all, just not quite what I was hoping for. Don’t write it off until you try it yourself.

Based on how good everyone’s sandwiches looked and how amazing the chips were, I am really wanting to go back for the Reuben. I will update if I do.

As for the atmosphere, I’m giving it 5 stars. It’s not really my personal vibe, but they clearly put effort into it. Honestly, you can hang whatever you want on the walls if the food is good. Antique signs and all that?...

Our family found this restaurant on the way from TX to CO and boy weren't we lucky! I chose it b/c of the homestyle menu and that kids can eat for $1.99. I was sure hoping we wouldn't be disappointed and I'm so glad we weren't! The food was amazing and truly had a homemade flavor to it. While almost every restaurant purchases food from large suppliers like US Foods and Sysco, you'd never know it from your first bite to your last bite at this place! My husband ordered the chicken fried steak w/spinach and mashed potatoes on the side. For the first time in a long time, the spinach actually looked like spinach! It was perfectly steamed w/a delectable sauce! It was not some wilted glob of green from a can like most places. He even said the mashed potatoes were "real homemade mashed potatoes ". He kept talking about how everything tasted like his grandmother's cooking. Job well done Christy Mae's! My kids had the corn dogs w/banana bread on the side (super delish! - I snuck some of their banana bread) and I had the chicken pot pie w/side of cornbread (also super delish). You cannot go wrong w/anything here! This place was so amazing that we are re-routing our return trip home to be able to eat here again! Bring Christy...
