Shark Reef Cafe

Cannot believe this place exists in Albuquerque! The atmosphere is reminiscent of the restaurant in EPCOT (Disney World)'s The Seas aquarium pavilion that sells out of reservations 6 months in advance. Truly amazing design to have this cafe on the backside of the aquarium's marquee exhibit. The food was good. We really enjoyed the green chile burger stack, tho our fries were woefully overcooked. Oh well, though, still easily a 5-star experience. And very neat touch with the robot food-runner, too. 100% pencil this place in for lunch if you're in town visiting.

The food was so good! And so was the service! My niece treated the six of us to food and drinks. She got lavender hard cider for herself and I got the banana strawberry smoothie. Both hit the spot! She ordered fried chicken strips and French fries, and a burger sliders’ sundae with French fries for the table. Everything was freshly cooked and exceptional. A few other drinks were ordered - a Shark attack and mango lemonade for the young ones. They were sweet! And refreshing! I wish I had taken photos. Everything looked as great as it tasted.

Best father's day gift for my husband. We had So much fun and it was a slow sunday so we had the place to ourselves. We throughly enjoyed the watermelon Sandia Hard Cider. Wouldn't have even known about it as the cashier never mentioned drinks. But my husband spotted it on the way to the table. I wouldn't put someone afraid to make money on a register.

Lunch here is not just for Bio Park Aquarium visitors. The Shark Reef Cafe has spectacular cuisine. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. My hamburger was seasoned to perfection and dressed beautifully with dill pickle boards, tomato slice and green leaf lettuce. The homemade chips we're a lovely addition to round out the plate. My partner had fish and chips (which he didn't share) he said we're crispy to perfection. Our compliments to the chef: the humble ginger we met on our way out. Oh, and you have to try the green sauce and cheese fries!
