Mac's Steak in the Rough is a drive-in fast-food restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that serves American and New Mexican cuisine. It used to be a chain of restaurants, but its locations were reduced to a single restaurant.[1] They have begun to expand again, by opening a location inside the Latitudes gas station near the entrance of Intel in Rio Rancho.[2]

History

Started in 1949 by Dave McCarty in Artesia, New Mexico. They opened their first Albuquerque restaurant in the 1960s. They are now owned by the New Mexico based company, Fresquez Companies.[3]

Today

The restaurant continues to sell its "steak in the rough", which is deep-fried steak fingers with french fries and white gravy, which come with a green onion.[4]

Reception

The restaurant was selected as one of the best drive-in restaurants in the United States by Thrillist.[5]
