Neighbors Westside Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Albuquerque

UPDATE: Management contacted me the next day, Akio offered to host dinner for us to remedy the situation. We went on Friday evening around 7, because we had vouchers to use we chose to eat there instead of having it delivered. The atmosphere was nice, a little loud but nothing crazy.

I ordered the BLT again, hubs ordered a burger this time. We also ordered chips & salsa which was good (the salsa is a little on the spicy side FYI). Our food came out pretty quickly and my BLT was awesome, so glad we decided to give it another try!

They have a good selection of cocktails, beers on tap & wines; and plenty of food choices on the menu including wings, burgers, salads, and appetizers.

Bottom line: GREAT place to eat, we'll be back! Thanks again Akio 🙂

Hubs and I were hungry, thought we'd try something new. They have a pretty decent menu, and we didn't have much trouble picking something to try. We ordered online through UberEats, our driver arrived about 20 mins earlier than expected so that was great!

Hubs ordered the Fat Boy Philly, he said it was very good and came with a huge serving of tater tots! I ordered the BLT with special instructions to take off the mayo & add yellow mustard, fries for my side. They removed the mayo but didn't add mustard. Not a big deal, I just added my own.

While waiting for our delivery, I read the reviews and for the most part, all positive. A couple of people commented that the bacon was "chewy", so I was understandably a little nervous. Unfortunately, the bacon in my BLT was pretty much uncooked, not even edible. The edges were a little cooked but that was about it. Needless to say, I couldn't eat my sandwich. I have included photos of the bacon for reference.

Hubs said his Philly was good, and he had a hard time even finishing his plate. I ate a few of my fries, but was so grossed out by the bacon that I lost my appetite. Hopefully, Neighbors sees this and contacts me to remedy...

Looks like it could be a fun bar. They had a 49ers club doing their thing. Not my team but it was cool. The bar looks like if you were ok with walking up to the bar yourself and order a beer every time you needed one it's probably good for that. The waitress took a while to get our order to start and i had to remind her 3 times to i never got a tea. Granted we had 15 people but all orders were simple. Never once did she come and ask if we needed something or a refill. My drink was empty within 5 minutes. We had someone ask another waitress to bring some pitchers because all the glasses were empty. Half the people got their food about 30-40 minutes before the other half so they were done way before we even got our food. Like I said we were never even checked on until she brought us our bills. First thing I noticed was the 20 dollar automatic Tip for gratuity for just my family of 5. I understand because it was a large table that automatically added but I think that's why she did not care and spent most of her time on the patio with the small groups that don't have it automatically taken out. My salad was good, wings were good, nachos were ok but service was a zero. She did not deserve the tips at all. I figure it's not hard to check on a table at least once especially when they are waiting a hour to eat from when we finally did get to order. At least we had good company and the 49ers and cowboys group was entertaining to watch them battle...

2019 - I'm so sad to say that my favorite place has gone way downhill. This was my and my husband's favorite place to go for date night. We 2 months ago and the food and service was terrible. There was only 4 tables sat inside and 3 outside. Our waiter who we never had seen before was terrible. He took our order twice and when he wasn't with us he was visually seen just sitting down on his phone eating. The picture is the Mediterranean wrap and Brussel sprouts. The wrap that my husband used to love is now just tortilla and dressing and the Brussels were burnt. I ordered the fish tacos and they were small and super dry as ever. Fortunately they couldn't ruin the beer. :( January 2020 update. My husband and I went back last week. Both managers were there. The service and food was amazing!! I'm so happy we gave it another shot. Oh and the beer was still INCREDIBLE! August 2023 update - We went today and their menu was so limited. We only ordered one appetizer (for 3 adults) and it was OK. We finished it because we were hungry. The kids meal was terrible. We would’ve been better off getting a McDonald’s happy meal for that price. the margarita taste like sweet-and-sour only so we had to send it back!! Soooo…. THREE STRIKES and...
