Sadie’s Restaurant is one of Albuquerque’s finest New Mexican Restaurants. Sadie’s has a long history of moving from location to location as its popularity grew. Sadie’s now is situated in a large custom New Mexican style building that has dining room after dining room of space. The rooms are large and decorated very New Mexican. Some of the main dining rooms are so large, you get the feel of a cafeteria. The saltillo tiled courtyard is a treat on a hot Albuquerque day.
If you go to Sadie’s be prepared to eat. Sadie’s offers large portions of traditional New Mexican favorites. The last time I went, I had the combination plate with green chicken enchiladas and a chile relleno. I have to say that I am somewhat of a chile relleno head. I love rellenos, going out on a limb, I would have to say that Sadie’s offers the best rellenos that I have ever had. The green chile enchiladas were equally wonderful. Most the plates came with beans and rice and a large portion of papas. Sadie’s also has amazing red carne adovada. Sadie’s is known for its salsas which they sell by the jar. Their salsa is hot, not to runny and not to chunky. I have to give Sadie’s credit, they still to this day keep the salsa and the chile hot. Most places mild their chile down to suit a wider clientele(tourists). The wait staff is right on it refilling waters and iced teas. The portions are very large so you will probably need a take out box.
While Sadie’s portions are large so are their prices. The price is well worth the portions, but other well known New Mexican restaurants offer comparable portions at a much lower cost. The average meal at Sadie’s is going to be upwards of $10. The wait staff is well trained and polite. They are always refilling your drinks and salsa. The only problem when I go their they’re are only a couple of waiters for a huge room. It is hard to get their attention. All in all you must give Sadie’s a try. They are one the best New Mexican restaurants in Albuquerque.

I love Sadies. It was my favorite resteraunt for years. BEWARE though. Last time we ate there my entire family (10 people) came down with HORRIFIC cases of food poisoning. Their food tastes wonderful, but I will never ever eat there again. The food doesn’t taste so great coming back up.

Today was the worst day of my life eating out at what was once concidered one of the best resteraunts here in the Albuquerque area..
We had made reservations to have a nice brunch after the christing of my grandson at 1:30 sunday afternoon, we got there just a little after 1pm and was told that our reservations were at 2:30.. there were 18 of us including the church pastor and his wife.. we were told that we would not be seated until 2:20 by the very very very rude manager!! she was horrible.. once we were seated we went unnoticed for what seamed like hours!! once we did recive our food it was so gross that we almost had to force it down our mouths.. I can’t belive just how horrible Sadies has become… Shame,Shame,Shame.
I will never ever step foot into this horrible place again.. and will advice my many friends of this as well..

They have really gone downhill over the past couple years. They need more waitstaff. Success has not treated them kindly. I do take home half my meal as it’s big enough (and $$) for at least another full serving.
