Dave's Cafe

Dave’s cafe seems to fluctuate in quality. Right now, Dave’s cafe is doing a great job. This last summer we did not receive great service or food but I know who was working and that really made a difference, as it always does. This morning, we had breakfast and it was spot on!

We stopped in for an early dinner. We had amazing service and Great food!

Best patty melt in New Mexico! When we first arrived it's was pretty busy but we only waited maybe 15 mins to be greeted. Which we didn't mind at all, service was great. Prices are really decent. Definitely will be back!

Great food! I also want to say that the portions are just the right size, not too big and not too small. The beer options for domestic is ginormous and the Cloudcroft brewery amber is quite satisfying as well.

We really enjoyed our visit. The atmosphere is rustic and welcoming. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend!

Stopped to have lunch at Dave's. Good food and quiet atmosphere. Beautiful drive from Alamogordo then on to 244. Will definitely go again next time I make that journey. Dave's is a great destination for sightseeing in Cloudcroft. Had a Ruben sandwich and still had to take half home. So I would say large portions. Give it a try!

Looking for bbq, but those places closed during week. They are only open Thursday-Sunday. Went to Dave's, ordered bbq chicken, it was whole chicken breast with bbq on top. Wasn't what I expected, but was a good sized portion. We ordered the French fries to go with the sandwich and when we got to our destination, found out they gave us potato chips instead. Even though paid extra for the fries. It was a total disappointment and couldn't do anything about it since we were several miles away by then.

The food in Cloudcroft is substantially better than Ruidoso!

The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming and patient and communicative and attentive.

The food was great from a healthy chicken salad to a greasy burger with fries.

The fried zucchini was perfectly battered and fried and crispy.

We can’t wait to check out breakfast and lunch next time we visit.

I really enjoyed the food! I was so thankful that they got me and my wife in and out quickly. Service was friendly and they made the best burgers hands down!

Every single person in this restaurant was SO FRIENDLY!!!! We ordered a veggie hoagie to go, with French fries. It was absolutely delicious!!! Will come back here again!!
