Reviews for Vic's Daily Cafe in Albuquerque, NM
Went to Vic's daily today after many people saying how good it was. The portions were good and service was great but the food... was a little bland. I got biscuits and gravy (which was the most bland), cornbread hash ( which was really really good) and theother two people got chicken fried steak. Big portions of chicken fried steaks but a bit lacking in flavor. It was good, I'dprobably give it another shot. Read more
Outstanding breakfast diner! The place is just across the street from one of the largest mega churches in Albuquerque so you... know that there's going to be a long way on the weekends. This was my first time trying the place after seeing it for yearswhile visiting friends who live in the neighborhood. I highly recommend the vaquero chicken-fried steak plate. I think it's oneof the few diner chicken-fried steaks I've had where you get the impression that they really tenderized the cube steak in house!The biscuits are handmade and the coffee was a great quality. Excellent wait staff. Again expect a 25 minute wait but it's worthit! Read more
Delicious breakfast!!! Casual and comfortable with food that surpassed my expectations. The desserts looked amazing but I just... didn?t have room. The icing on the cake was seeing the hot air balloons from our table. Read more
Homespun feel, quality food! Vic's daily Cafe was at just what I hoped for, a local diner with a delightful Homespun feel, but... with professional high quality food. I got eggs benedict oh, and my wife had almond crusted French toast with a lemon curd.Both were fantastic! See photos below. They were busy, but they have enough space that they could seat us in a very reasonableamount of time. I think we may have waited 5 or 10 minutes. Considering that they had a lot of traffic at that time, they did agreat job of getting us to a table. Our waitress was very cheerful, very helpful, and seemed genuinely excited to see us there.That was nice. It made us feel right at home. The eggs Benedict was a delight. It had a thick slice of ham instead of Canadianbacon which I like. Also, the eggs were poached pretty well, if only slightly overdone. That didn't detract from the meal atall. They also have a crab benedict that seems to be the favorite for this restaurant. I wanted to try the classic, and I'mglad I did. It's one of my favorites. And, they did a great job of it. It was a real winner. My wife got almond crusted Frenchtoast with lemon curd, and it was inspired. Covered in fresh fruits, this French toast didn't need any syrup and had a lightdusting of powdered sugar to add a little sweetness. It went well with the tart sweet lemon curd that was in the center of theplate. Of course, there was coffee. It was good. I'd say it was diner coffee as opposed to Coffee House Coffee, but I drink 3cups of it. It was exactly what I needed to pair with this meal. I mentioned wait staff already, but I'll talk about themagain. Everyone I interacted with was extremely polite, and seemed genuinely interested in making sure that I had a greatmeal. I can't wait to go back! I'd like to bring my adult children and have a multi-family breakfast, or brunch theresoon. Next time I go back, I'd like to try the corn beef hash. That's another classic that seems to be one Read more
