Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog. Updated July 2026.
Monte Carlo Liquors & Steak House · Albuquerque
A Route 66 steakhouse run by the Katsaros family since 1970, entered through an attached package liquor store. Steaks are hand-cut fresh daily. Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog steers you to the porterhouse, with the ground-steak green chile cheeseburger and Greek souvlaki close behind. Finish with apple pie a la mode in a room of faux-wood walls and vintage booths.
High Noon Restaurant & Saloon · Old Town
An Old Town fixture since 1974 set in an adobe whose oldest walls date to 1785, described by Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog as a steakhouse at heart. The kitchen turns out hand-cut steaks alongside New Mexican plates, served in candlelit territorial-era rooms that suit a special-occasion dinner.
Western View | Steak Diner and House · Albuquerque
A Central Avenue diner and steakhouse operating since 1937 and a longtime Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog pick for old-Albuquerque cooking. It bridges two worlds, green chile smothered New Mexican plates by day and hand-cut steaks off the grill, all in a well-worn Route 66 room.
Vernon's Speakeasy · Los Ranchos de Albuquerque
A password-at-the-door supper club in Los Ranchos that Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog calls worth a detour. Behind the speakeasy conceit is a serious steak program of prime cuts and classic sides, delivered with martini-era polish and live music some nights.
