★★★★☆ 4.0 Chastin Bravo · Mar 2026

The food is okay…kind of bland, just simple, no-frills homemade food. We had a burger and the Salisbury steak. My salisbury steak was way over cooked and just meat no seasoning. The vegetable soup that came with the steak was delicious. The atmosphere is very dated, but that’s part of its charm, and we really enjoyed that. The place has been around since 1949 so that’s really cool. I can’t really knock it on the stars…it just is what it is. I’d like to come back to try the New Mexican food and breakfast. They also closed more than an hour earlier than their posted time so something to look out for.

This is an old school restaurant that serves American and Mexican dishes. My husband and I came here for lunch. I ordered the Salisbury steak and my husband ordered enchilada plate. We both enjoyed it. The serving is generous. It is worth the price we paid. It is reasonably priced, thus the five stars. The service is wonderful. Our server was attentive and nice and very friendly . I am also giving the atmosphere of the restaurant five stars. The restaurant has tables for couples, families, friends, and big groups. It is clean and comfortable to dine in. The restroom was also clean when we dined there.

Great breakfast! I had the Las Vegas omelette with green chile. The green sauce was excellent! We'll stop whenever we come through town.

I don't understand the rave reviews...... We were barely greeted when we came in, we were showed to a booth and asked what we wanted to drink. Okay so far so good. I ordered a b l t that came with fries, b l t was acceptable, but fries were ice cold. The other person in my party ordered the hamburger steak, mashed potatoes and side salad. Neither of us have ever seen such a tiny side salad. Literally , the size for a two year old. He said his food was warm , but not hot. The serving of corn alongside of the potatoes was literally three tablespoons. Not once did our waitress come back and ask if we needed anything, or if our meal was acceptable. It's an old building with old tables.And dirty chairs and dirty floors . It really needs a deep clean. Take your chances and I hope you have a bett
