Burger Boy

You kind of have to be lucky to eat here. I've driven by a few times at what would seem to be normal operating hours for a restaurant, but it's sometimes not open. For that reason, I consider eating at Burger Boy something of a crap shoot in terms of hours. In terms of food, it's consistently awesome.

I usually get the double green chile cheeseburger and an iced tea. It's under $10 and really fills you up. On nice weather days, I try to sit outside, but sometimes the counter space is available. Usually this place is kinda busy, so you're jockeying for space, and waiting in line.

Locals love this place, and tourists get drawn in by the old school look of it on the outside. Definitely worth popping into if you time it right and have some hunger.

We stopped here for lunch between visiting Tinkertown and hiking in the Sandias. The prices are reasonable, the selection is good, and major props for carrying gluten-free buns/bread! We all ordered green chile cheeseburgers, mine plain on a GF bun. The meat was nicely cooked, but the chile didn't bring quite the punch I'd hoped for. The fries were pretty good, and the refills of tea came frequently. I won't drive from downtown just to go here, but certainly would return if in the area.

This is close to us so it is convenient and we will go back again but I certainly would not list as my favorite burger ever.  I also have had a BLT here which was highly priced and not that great.  The service is fantastic and very friendly.
