“OK food, friendly but slow service”

Stopped for lunch on a slow afternoon. There were only about six other customers there. I waited about a half hour for a simple meal, and nobody refilled my glass until I flagged someone down. Staff was friendly and food was OK. Overpriced based on what I've gotten at other Santa Fe restaurants in the same neighborhood. But a bonus... more

We ate here one evening. My wife ordered the Fish Tacos Pollock and I ordered the Chicken pesto pizza. Both were great. This place is very casual and I imagine that it would be great to sit outside and enjoy selections the excellent beer list. The beer list is something to behold - ales, lagers, IPAs, wheat beers, stouts and... more

The Atomic Grill is one of the most overrated restaurants that I can think of. My fiancee and I went there, giving it the benefit of the doubt. Not only did we wait 45 minutes for a tiny, undercooked prefab. frozen pizza, we were horribly overcharged and disappointed in the poor quality of the food. (Allsup's has better food...) The... more

Great food, awesome atmosphere. Whenever I'm in Santa Fe I love stopping by the Atomic. Yes, when the new owners took over they had to apply for a new alcohol license and get new vendors, but they have it now and are re-establishing the "100 different beers." I love the atomic pappas and frito pie...not to mention the awesome espresso! more

The Atomic Grill advertises two things: A selection of 100 beers and wood-fired pizza. The menu lists around 20-25 beers and says, "Please bear with us while we build our inventory of beers." Or words to that effect. This would be fine except for the fact they've been around for awhile now and advertise all over Santa Fe as having... more

While obviously disappointed that this reviewer did not enjoy their meal, I feel compelled to correct some statements that the reviewer seems to be reporting as fact. We do not use frozen pizza dough - the dough is freshly made on the premises, using flour, semolina, olive oil and honey (and a dash of salt). The holes in the dough...

Had a fabulous bowl of soup there today and hope to get back there tomorrow to try their fried avocado sandwich. It sounds wonderful...has crab in it too. Their menu looks very inventive and the place has a nice low key charm. Would highly recommend it for a casual meal. more

This is one of our favorites. It is open til 3am, so you can catch families, a college-age group (or younger), and even older groups or couples when the Lensic theater (or other shows, I guess) let out late. We almost always each get an Atomic Pie. This is a frito pie in a big bowl, but very unique -... more
