Reviews for Flying Star Cafe in Albuquerque, NM

Tiny pumpkin pie slice for $6.50. Sure this place has always been expensive but now, with shrink-flation, the Bernsteins have... figured out how to recover from bankruptcy even quicker. And it doesn't just apply to pumpkin pie. If you think flying star is agood value anymore, you have a poor sense of money's worth. I've seen the trend over the past 10 years, and I won't be givingthem any more business. Read more

Flying Star is always a great place with a variety of options. The vibes are immaculate and a perfect meeting spot for a group.... The food is a little hit or miss. The California Melt I had was ok but had nothing special to it. Read more

The people that work there were really nice and they didn't have much vegan stuff but they did have the vegan street tacos. I... had it with corn tortillas but the corn tortillas should have been like heated in a little bit of oil or something they werecold and didn't seem like they had been really cooked so that would have made the dish a whole bunch better. The actual rest ofit was kind of a mixture of sweet and spicy and that was pretty cool. The location was really good and there's great views ofthe mountains. They also have a ton of desserts. They have a nice place for you to go refill your water. Read more

Food was delicious and fresh. A small delay, is natural to expect with such high quality food. The service was kind, and... attentive. Tho, you will not be able to "holler" for a waiter. (Too many other folks talking, makes it simply too loud in thefirst place) Your gonna have to get up, and get what you need. Which in my book, is a pretty good thing. ?? All in all. A mostsatisfying way to celebrate returning to my birth city. =^w^= Praise to our Lord Jesus Christ~ Read more

Best Flying Star I?ve been to. Overall, I have found other locations to have sub-par service and poor quality food, and portions... for the price. This location I tried their Mac with crispy chicken and broccoli ? a Flying Star classic. Noodles were cookedwell, the sauce was so-so in terms of flavor and amount, and the portion was hefty. Some improvements could have been cutting upthe Parmesan or whatever hard cheese that topped the Mac bowl a little finer, or even grate it. They used to also add morepepper and parsley in the sauce, or on top. Lastly, more cheese sauce was needed. It seemed like it was mainly in the middlewhich was hard to mix in with broccoli and chicken on top. The chicken was really delicious, flavorful, and crispy. Employeeshere were consistently attentive and kind throughout. I saw them wish customers a goodnight on their way out. The bussers werecleaning promptly but not on top of people eating. The counter service folks were bright, attentive to my drink requests, etc.Will be coming to this location more in comparison to others. One employee made me a delicious dry cappuccino. Wish otherlocations met this level of service and food quality. Read more

We absolutely loved this place. We had the fish and chips, and the chicken tenders. Both were really well made and not too... heavy. The apple pie crust was super flaky and flavorful. Overall, very impressed with the food quality. The service was alsogreat and there?s a good vibe of sitting and chatting. The menu is diverse enough that this place is great for groups. You alsopay ahead, making the check process super easy. The patio is perfect for mild desert nights. Would definitely recommend for anafter-event hang or any sort of get-together. Read more

This is my favorite breakfast/ anytime hang out spot. The food almost always hits and is consistently great. This is an awesome... spot to vibe solo or with loved ones. Haters will say it?s overpriced and meh. I grew up on this food and will always enjoy aflying star meal or snack. Read more

I've been away from Albuquerque for a while and it's been some time since I've eaten here. I was excited to visit town and... immediately out the flying star on my placed to visit. I had the red stuff drink, which is a cool refreshing drink with a punch,soda, hibiscus flavor to it. For my entree I had the Southwest Benny which has eggs over easy, hollandaise sauce, cheddar, andgreen chili turkey sausage. It was absolutely as I remember delicious. For dessert I had the pineapple upside down cake. It wasabsolutely a treat. The price was a bit expensive for my dinner, drink and dessert. It came out to 30 dollars which included atip. The staff was friendly and hospitable. The restaurant was quite nice inside with a clean and modern design. The outdoorpatio area was quite nice as well. Read more
