5 Star Burgers

The menu was awesome. The food was so good and it was a wonderful experience for my one-year-old's birthday. She loves hamburgers so this is definitely the place to go! They also have a beer flight option, which was helpful for those of us who can't decide.

Visiting the area so we thought we would give this place a try. I had the 5 star burger and thought it was ok. The onion rings were nothing special, I prefer hand breaded onion rings because I think they taste better. This place is pretty pricy, the burgers don't come with fries or onion rings so that's extra. They do have a bar and a fairly big burger selection. The service was great and pretty quick. I would probably give this place another try.

I went to 5 Star Burgers a couple weeks ago with my sister. It is one of my favorite places for happy hour. They run specials on their fries, sliders, beer and wine. The beer at happy hour is $4.50 and wines are $5.00. I had the burger slider and turkey slider which were both delicious. I ordered a side salad which consisted of spring mix, diced tomatoes, cucumber, radishes, sweet onion, sunflower seeds, shredded cheese, and croutons with blue cheese dressing. Their salads are always fresh and delicious. Our server Cerra was awesome! Very attentive and friendly. It's a nice atmosphere, never too noisy and they have a nice patio to sit outside when the weather is warmer. I would definitely recommend 5 Star Burgers. I have been there several times and have never been disappointed.

Lunchtime & burgers are in the sights. So here we are. Not too busy, so seating was quick. Drinks and food ordered. The green Chile burger with onion rings and the fish and chips. The burger came out as ordered - add surprised look here! I usually order rare to get med-rare. Well, this was rare. Two lessons here 1. order near the way you want it cook and 2. Some steak places in town need to take note! Needless to say the burger was juicy & delicious. Dressings came on the side so you got as much or little as you wanted. The fish & chips came fried golden brown. The fish was flaky and not over cooked. A nice stop for lunch and definitely on our repeat list. I don't think you'll be dissatisfied here

GOOD NEWS:
- Alistair our waiter was great fun, really energetically dynamically friendly. And extremely good at staying in touch making sure we were doing fine during our mini snack-a-thon devouring fried green chile strips. Top notch service!!
- Breaded green chile strips were fried nice 'n crunchy and were tasty. Not as strong on the chile taste as I'd hoped, but it did come into play enough to register. My dining partner, who is a semi regular here for the strips claimed they were fried darker than usual. Mayo & mustardy dipping sauce was a nice complement to the crunchy strips.
- So two stars for a couple of good points.

BAD NEWS:
- *STANK!!!!!!!!* Walking in the front door, we were clubbed with an overwhelming stench that was a mix of what smelled like industrial chemical floor sanitizer, old frying oil, and other unidentified noxious odors. Hyper strong! We're talking "peel your nose right off your face" or perhaps "this retch test is not a test and we hope you have some killer good laundry soap waiting for your clothes at home because you're going to need it" strength. The temptation to turn heel and flee was real, palpable, and seated right about at the solar plexus.

Nonetheless we stayed, munched our fried green chile strips, and had a chat. The fact that my nose eventually grew used to the stink makes me suspect my olfactory facilities don't have my best interests at heart.

As others have mentioned, interior runs a bit to the dark side.

So 5 Star Burgers at Wyoming Blvd and Academy is a solid pass in my world. Just say no.

Four of us ordered four different burgers and sides, and we were amazed at how great our lunch was. Juicy burgers, fries, sweet potato fries and fried green beans were fresh and delicious. Service was awesome! I'll definitely go again and recommend 5 Star Burgers to family and friends.

This burger joint seems to have a better reputation than actual burgers. They aren't bad, but also aren't exceptional.

I had the build-your-own burger option with Gorgonzola cheese and sautéed mushrooms. The build-your-own burgers do not come with sauces or have suggested sauces to add; they come dry. They also do not come with a side; those are sold separately.

The service was fine, the burger fine, the atmosphere fine. It was all just... fine. And I'll instantly forget about it.

best burger spot in New Mexico hands down. Down home family vibe with a classy atmosphere. An enticing menu and creative burgers that will make you lean back in your chair after every bite. If this wasn't your experience... come again this place is always improving to be better each time.
thank you for the memories

I've been coming to 5 Star Burgers for the last 10 years. Hands down one of the best burgers in Albuquerque.

The service is always consistent. I've never had a bad experience with the staff. The restaurant is clean and has a sports bar type feel with a nice bar area to watch the game. Prices are fair and inexpensive.

I dropped by during a busy Friday night and service was excellent. I ordered a Green Chile cheeseburger of course and it was cooked to my preference. The green Chile had good flavor and heat. I love their French fries.

I definitely recommend trying their burger of the month. They usually come up with some inventive creations that reminds me of the television show Bob's Burgers.

Excellent burgers with all the accompanying ingredients.
Grilled perfectly and the onion rings are delicious as well.
