The restaurant by Winrock. We each ordered three drinks with alcohol (except our designated driver who ordered a soft drink), however it appeared they LEFT OUT the alcohol...their watered down drinks were flavorful but we wondered if TGIFridays had LOST their liquor license! Our drinks included "sho...
We used to eat here all the time. That is until about a year ago when not only did our favorite server leave (paige) but the only person who knew how to cook left as well. It has been a constant turn around of servers and the food quality has gone downhill ever since.

Question: What is the best type of lettuce to use for a Greek Salad? Answer: There isn't any lettuce in a real Greek Salad. Someone should let them know. If they want to advertise themselves as authentic, they should be.
Taken for what it is, a diner, Mannie's is a great value for a meal. I've enjoyed Mannie's many times and the food is always on time and delicious. I particularly like Mannie's Huevos Rancheros. The eggs are always as I ask and the chile tastes fresh and authentic. As an added bonus, Mannie's offers...
Terrible experience. Our waitress took forever to come see us, and then she was mumbling about a mixup. Sorry we were so much trouble. I asked for water and she brought it and then removed our wine glasses. Huh? If you have water you can't also order wine. She never mentioned the specials to us, alt...
it rocks; others roll
Somewhat long waits here but the service and atmosphere are excellent. I had been here as a kid, long ago and recently re-visited. They have, by far, the hottest salsa I have ever tasted! Eating outside on the patio by the small pond was also very interesting and added a great deal to the experie...
Great authentic Greek food. None of the "americanized" greek you see so often. And they offer a great Ouzo!
We went expecting a wonderful Italian meal and we were very disappointed. Although, of the 4 of us, 1 meal was very good, two were OK, and one was poor. The meatball in my spaghetti had one side that was so hard, I could not cut it with my knife. There was also some very hard items in the meat th...
My wife & I decided to have lunch at the Cottonwood TGI Fridays one Saturday afternoon in April. There were only a dpozen or so cars in the parking lot, so we knew the place was not crowded. We stood just inside the doorway for ten minutes. We observed the waitstaff moving about & serving the few...
Delicious, fresh food. Lovely new building; always great service. Some of the best red chile ever. Delicious steak fingers. Huge portions. Over all - great New Mexican food. A favorite place of our's for breakfast or lunch!
Terrible service, poorly prepared food and over-priced menu make for an overall bad experience.
As an Albuquerque native, I spent many times at the Owl. After i had to move my Dad to Palm Springs, I do miss the food. Strongly considering moving back and look forward to the green chili cheese burgers and the huevos rancheros. Glad you are still there.
Best Mexican Food Around!
It has a great laid back and family friendly environment. I love eating here for the great food and enterainment. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves a good steak and a good time.
I know whenever I go to Red Lobster I can expect fast and friendly service. The waiters are prompt, and the food is great. I must eat there at least twice a month.
plastic forks with styrofoam plates at top dollar. food's acceptable - but jeez - tourist trap!
This place is great. Especially the friendly staff and owners Nick & Jimmy. Is Jimmy single?
Great New Mexican food. I suggest the Chilequile or the Camarones Victor (Shrimp Victor).
The food is pretty good, but it isn't worth the price - very big on the atmosphere, but not what I'd call great food at a great value. For beans, rice and tortillas to have a gourmet price, there'd better be something else.
