When you want to fill up on mouthwatering food, there’s no reason to break the bank. If you ever find yourself in Gallup, New Mexico, stop by at The 505 Burgers & Wings, where you’ll taste some of the most scrumptious burgers and flavorful wings in the Southwest. This unassuming New Mexico burger joint is a true Southwestern gem.
We said it was unassuming, and you can tell that it is, but the delectable goodness that is waiting inside for you will become evident as soon as you smell the burgers on the grill.
The interior is simple, yet comfortable, and the unpretentious setting makes this a relaxed, friendly place to enjoy some of the best freshly-grilled burgers in the Southwest.
The 505 doesn’t mess around when it comes to its burgers. USDA certified half-pound patties on a pretzel bun (or whole wheat or white) with freshly cut shoestring fries. There are many versions to choose from, most with a Southwestern flavor profile.
The wings here are made from Pierce Chicken and come as plain, mild, hot, BBQ, or sweet teriyaki, and are absolutely delicious. You can get anywhere from a half dozen wings to a 50-piece platter.
These thick-cut onion rings are nothing to sneeze at either! They go well not just with the burgers and wings, but also with the flavorful, big hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, or a local favorite, Frito Pie.
The 505 Burgers & Wings is open every day except Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. It’s the perfect roadside stop for when you’re traveling through New Mexico. Feel free to peruse the menu before stopping by. While you’re exploring, make sure to take a drive along some bucket list road trips.
