Waited 20 minutes and nobody came to even take our drink order. It’s not a very large place nor was it particularly busy. We left and went to Applebee’s nearby.

Between a 4.5 and a 5 rating realistically. Definitely not my first time and definitely not my last! Service was beyond efficient for whatever reason Le boyfriend and I couldn’t just send her back for a single trip wether it was onion, mayo or extra sauce she was more than willing and with a smile! Then she refilled us without being asked. In addition to the awesome service the burgers were cooked to perfection one medium, one medium well and one well done and all were cooked correctly … Chili is perfect the green anyway very hot and fully flavored. Unsure of the Texas themed red chili in general I’m not a fan. Full array of fries sweet potato, waffle or standard fries. Salads and fish for those who aren’t In love with the beef. Lots of local brews as well which for every burger is the cheery on the top.

I was truly impressed with this place. A small hamburger joint hiding in between neighborhoods. They have a decent selection of local beers available. If I lived in walking distance of this place, I’d be here all the time! Plus, they have a happy hour! Whooo hoooo! I ordered the green chili cheese burger and it was juicy and tender, cooked perfect with a fresh, soft bun. The green chili was hawt! Yowzas! My lips and mouth are still numb. Service was good. Out waitress was sweet. My date ordered the kids chicken tenders and sweet potato fries. She ate everything, including any crumb left in the basket. She said the sweet potato fries were«gooooood»! Definitely will recommend to others and we are coming back!

I am kinda a «regular» and come in everytime I’m in town. The burgers are good and beer is cold. Staff is nice about 9 times out of 10.

What is going on here?! The service sucked, which is really sad because that is not the case when Mike is there or someone that can manage while the cat’s away. I don’t know what our server was thinking but her head was somewhere else! It took one hour after we sat down before we finished… 20 minutes of that hour was spent waiting for our check. Sooooo disappointed… I sure hope it gets better and provide a quality service again…

Stopped in for a beer and a burger, apparently they have enough business, sat in bar, was greeted, given a menu and told my waitress would be right with me, 7 minutes later, with no assistance, stood up and walked out. I am now at Applebee’s.

The food and service is great but what I don’t like about this place is that they don’t know when to cut off their alcohol consumers. I think it needs to be taken more seriously especially in this state. They over served and let my husband drive home drunk. I mean yeah that’s definitely something a nobody should be doing but it’s not like they are in their right state of mind to make the right choices.

I enjoy supporting local but yesterday afternoon’s lunch was very disappointing. The food was fine the waitress was not. Difficult to find her with a fairly empty bar and seen twice coming out of the bathroom. We ordered two burgers and fries and the order of fries literally looked like a half of an order for one person. After finally finding her let her know about the fries and she was totally indifferent so my boyfriend had to order another order of fries, waitress even commented when she brought out the second order of fries that though the cook uses one potato per order the original one was much smaller. Had to ask for refills for our drinks until the end when she finally offered but by then we had to make two requests for refills we also made requests three times to have a new mayo and ketchup as the bottles were completely empty and no set ups either with food, had to request those too. Wow not fun. And I bragged on the place to my boyfriend. The Hostess was more helpful and available than the waitress, she should have gotten the tip. But by the end of the visit our waitress was hurrying us to leave and wanting to take the ticket to process maybe because we weren’t having beers but still wanted to visit. Service sucked but by the end«Mona» I think was her name was all of a sudden very available. We tip 20% or more usually but gave her 10% hoping that she would get a clue that a smile once in a while and an apology that we didn’t get what we asked for time and again would’ve helped her tip. Sorry we came and maybe chains are the way to go… I will say in the evenings service has been pretty friendly and seem to know you need forks and napkins when you’re eating.

I enjoy supporting local. So after getting a job in the area and using my handy dandy Unilocal app to guide my always hungry stomach, I ended up at this joint. Let me just say, this place is a bit deceiving on the outside. It kind of looks like a fast food joint but is actually more like a sports bar inside. They have an good selection of craft beer and many good menu options to choose from. I gave the Armadillo burger a shot and was a bit disappointed. It was my first time ever seeing this so I decided to give it a shot. It was nothing really that was the restaurant’s fault just the recipe. It was an open faced tortilla burger topped with eggs, green chili, and bacon. But the part that grossed me out was that it was smothered in what appeared to be Hormel chill which was called Texas chili. Overall, this experience didn’t scare me away as I will probably give it another shot, but I will be more cautious with what I order. Also, the name sounds a bit like a laundry mat, just saying. I will definitely have to return during non work hours to have a brew.

Yummy and in my neighborhood. The staff is nice and the patio is small but fun, a little loud.

Stopped in tonight at Spinn Burgers and they were all dolled up with white cloth tablecloths and votive candles on the tables. Nice, but it didn’t do much for the fish and chips I ordered. Taste like a frozen fish cake with beer batter. Not much to write home about, but here I am. Pilsner was better than the fish. I like it because it’s a local boy making good. And it’s a convenient neighborhood pub. Comfortable atmosphere. You could do worse. I’ll be back.

This place is close to home so it’s a frequent stop. Burgers are yummy, I like that they have bison burgers and local beer options. I wish there were more«light» food options, the salads are ok, but nothing special. When my husband is craving a burger and I’m not, this isn’t our first choice. The Staff is always friendly and the service is quick.

Burgers were ok, but not great. I’ve had way better in Albuquerque. The beer selection was ok too. A mix of local stuff and standard big brewery favorites. The décor was interesting, the restaurant clean and the staff friendly with quick service. If the food were just a little better I would rate it four stars.

Excellent burgers. My bud and I had lunch. We both had green chili burgers with fresh cut fries. I had my burger with pepper jack cheese in a tortilla. The burger could have used a little seasoning, but was perfectly cooked. The green chili and jack cheese was delicious. The fries were mouth watering good. Very friendly to us bikers too. We recommend this restaurant. Thanks for reading. The Bike Chaplain

Spinn’s was GREAT when it was on the other side of Coors. They’ve moved and when they first re-opened, it was super disappointing. I have since returned though and the burgers are on their way back to being great… or maybe I just opted out of the most dissapointing part of the burger this last time – the bun. Anyway, it’s close, it’s tasty, and they have local brews. I don’t like that you have to order everything a-la carte though and their fries are DISGUSTING; completely soaked in oil, floppy… just NO.

Have to give this three stars. Very unique menu however the burger was OK. I’m comparing this with burger joints around the world. Awesome beer and free Wi-Fi with no password. Service is great!!!’

I’ll certainly be back for another burger. If you need your burger fix(I can become like the Hulk if I go too long between fixes), then this can certainly fill the void in your heart, err, stomach. Love that the burgers come in 3 diff choices(¼, 1/3, or double ¼), it’s the Goldilocks of burger choices! Waffles fries are on par with Chik-fil-A, and we all know those are amazing, so these were PDG. Sweet potato fries aren’t too shabby either(to my cousin, I may or may not have stolen your fries while you watched the big screen). This gets its own whole paragraph. Bacon. Yes, I said Bacon. Their Bacon(it should be capitalized folks) is was almost as thick as my iPhone… and it tasted even better than my iPhone. Thank you!!! How many times has your«bacon» burger been ruined by crappy bacon? NOT here. Yes, there IS a God and He has blessed Spinn’s with the almighty Bacon Blessings(did Jim Gaffigan just say, «Bacon?»). Dessert? I have no idea, you think i was still hungry after my Bacon Burger, Waffle fries, and possibly stealing my cousin’s sweet potato fries(I deny everything primo!)? you let me know, thanks~

I have been to this tiny burger joint quite a few times. They claim Texas roots and I can certainly agree with that. We start with the chips and queso, this reminds me of the queso that I would find back home in Texas and the chips are made fresh. For my entrée I opt for the chicken strips. They are served with French fries and white gravy. My son usually gets a burger, there is only one size and there is no children’s burger option, regardless he always eats the entire thing. The burgers do not come with any side item; fries are a hefty extra charge. They seem to have recently expanded their selection of fries and the wait staff is always pushing something called«signature fries», don’t order these, you can find this in any grocery store freezer isle. I request the«fresh cut fries», they are exactly what the name says, fresh and very tasty. The only downside is the service. On our last visit we had a waitress who seemed opposed to taking orders for anything off the children’s menu, she argued with me about the items on the menu and at one point told me that the menu was wrong. When we received our food, my son’s burger was somewhere between medium rare and medium, and even as someone who likes their meat less than well done, I was not about to let him eat this for fear of food borne illness. We sent the burger back and it was immediately corrected and on the second try it was cooked perfectly. I have to give Spinn’s 3 stars, simply because even though they have the makings of a really good beer and burger joint, their execution and service are not up to my standards. I will go back but I will have lower expectations next time.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a long time since it’s in my neck of the woods. Today I was craving a burger and decided to give it a try after reading the Unilocal reviews. We were promptly seated by a manager and we ordered the sampler appetizer, a green chile cheese burger between the two of us, and ½ fries/½ onion rings. I also had a wheat beer from marble that was really nice. The sampler was awesome! It came with chips, salsa, and queso. I was a bit skeptical about the salsa because it looked a whole lot like Pace, but it was really tasty! The queso was on point. The really cool thing about the appetizer was that it came with ½ corn tortilla chips and ½ fresh fried flour tortilla chips. Considering that my hub doesn’t really like corn tortilla chips, the flour tortilla chips were a welcome surprise. They were hot and delicious. We split the 6oz green chile cheese burger that was cooked medium, to our liking. It was juicy and tender and yummy! My only complaint is the fries. They were OK, but I thought they weren’t crispy enough and they were a little underseasoned. The onion rings were good. Our server was really nice and attentive. All in all, a really great place to have a beer and a burger! You won’t be disappointed!

Craving a good burger, we stopped in after Unilocaling for a burger place in the area. The place has a hip vibe; small almost tiki-looking bar, TV’s, patio and a decent amount of seating. The large shakes are big and really good and do cost $ 5.25, so make sure you really enjoy it. We ordered vanilla and it came with this orange whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles on top. It looked a little funky at first, but I guess it’s Halloween time!!! Just don’t love seeing orange on my white vanilla shake. Anyhow… The menu has burgers and brats; can’t beat it. There are also salads and some lighter sandwiches too. They offer wheat buns and pretzels buns making it a nice way to change up your order a bit although I did order the pretzel bun and I can honestly say, it wasn’t the best pretzel bun I’ve ever had, I didn’t even notice the taste difference from a normal bun. Sad. We ordered the Texas BBQ Bacon and Cheese burger and the Armadillo burger. The Armadillo burger came on 1 tortilla on a plate, the burger, a fried egg, bacon, lots of beef chili, green chilies and cheese. It was hot and messy, and I don’t think we’d order it again. The BBQ Bacon and Cheese burger was good, nothing bad to say about it. Fresh Cut Fries were pretty good, but super, duper greasy. Be careful those of you whose stomachs can’t handle that kind of food. Personally, I didn’t feel too well after finishing my meal and neither did my boyfriend. The service was slow and the place was literally empty when we went(a little before 5pm on a weeknight, yes Senior Citizen hour, I know). We could see the servers chit-chatting which was a little annoying since our drinks were empty and our plates ready to be cleared and we were just ready to get the bill.

We hit this burger shop on a whim, upon advice from a friend. We weren’t disappointed. The place certainly has the look of a chain but a Google will show this is the One and Only. We really liked it. Here’s why. Upon entering the joint, you’re surrounded by a dining area flaunted with booths, televisions and servers who seem on top of their game. Think biker bar without the grime. The place is clean, friendly and they definitely know how to throw a happy hour. Pours are local, with some interesting out-of-town brews. The special we took advantage of was the bucket of peel-and-eat shrimp, accompanied with cocktail sauce and lemons. We finished by splitting a burger with queso(I realize, not a defining entrée on the menu, but if a place pimps queso it better be good), and it succeeded in nailing our hunger pangs. Most important, and often left unwritten in the reviews of so many, was the service. The wait staff was stellar. While the food was rather uninspired, the service rocked. Come here for a decent meal with a staff of really attentive folk, and try some of the other options, I’d love to know what you think. Overall, a great new burger joint in the 505.
