The Cube in Albuquerque, mexico/" class="ddd-auto-link">New Mexico has earned a loyal following for its Italian and BBQ, and a nationally televised stamp of approval from Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Sadly, The Cube has since permanently closed its doors.
The restaurant was featured in Season 18, Episode 9 — an episode called “Pork, Pasta and Barbecue” that first aired in 2013. The episode highlighted the kind of smoky, slow-cooked flavors that keep regulars coming back.
The restaurant earns a 4-star rating on Google based on 157 reviews, reflecting a consistently positive dining experience. The menu is moderately priced, making it accessible for a casual meal or a special outing.
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives has been one of the Food Network’s most popular shows for nearly two decades, and a feature on the show often transforms a small, local restaurant into a destination. For The Cube in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the exposure brought food lovers from across the region — and many who watched the episode made a point to stop by.
While the doors may be closed, The Cube is still remembered fondly by fans of the show and everyone who had the chance to eat there.
