Chef Sam server Sam, server Sam 2 And their amazing manager made this one of the best homestyle home cooked meals we've had in such a long time. The hamburger steak was cooked perfectly. The gravy was amazing. The mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy and the corn had a little spice to it. That was just out of this world. Would we go back in a second! Should you go most definitely! We cannot thank them enough for the hospitality. The generosity, the great food and the company. We brought my service dog with and they treated her just like part of the family. I definitely must go when you're in Alamogordo New Mexico!!

Definitely a hole in the wall little Cafe. Truck stop gem. Me and the Hubby had BLT's with and egg. Which I call a BELT. Typical truck stop decor and the waitress was friendly and efficient.

Passing through and after reading the reviews of hearty portions and seeing pictures, I decided to stop. Was craving a hearty and delicious breakfast and ordered the Rustic Breakfast for 8.99 which includes 2 biscuits, 2 eggs, 1 meat, hash browns and gravy. About 30 min later, I was greatly disappointed 😞 Looks like someone's leftovers. There was one biscuit cut in half,, not 2 as described, bacon was soggy from sitting in the gravy and one of the strips is barely cooked and not edible. The hash browns were non existent and the gravy was sparse. The only positive, the wait staff was extremely friendly and prompt.

We where here last night got great service and good food. But this morning the old blonde hair waitress just come completely gave us the cold shoulder didn't want to say anything to us taking care of everybody else but us. I'm sorry but we didn't anything to this woman and we tip very good. We will not come back here anymore they lost our business. She pass by us 6 times not wanting to look at us.

Absolute hidden gem! My family and I are from El Paso, and on our way home, we stopped here. They were very busy, with one person waiting everyone, and yet the service was outstanding and the food was quick and delicious! The Big Sloppy they have is WAY better than any other smothered burrito I've had before! I wish this was closer to home, and if I ever go west of Texas again, a definite stop to and back!

Out of pretty much everything. Didn’t have turkey ,bacon, or chicken and didn’t have dine in a full hour before close. Staff was a little rude to. Better off getting fast food
