So I need to preface this review with one major caveat: I'm not that crazy about fudge nor brittle…read more This matters in a brittle and fudge shop. Brittle seems like the candy I'll be lightly chewing, against doctor's orders, when I get my first pair of dentures, and fudge never comes close to satiating my cacao addiction, it's never dark or rich enough, it's like shoveling chocolate flavored sugar into my jowls. So when I entered this place, hoping to bring home candy for the fam, I was kinda dismayed. But the owner, Mike, was just so darned friendly, I was compelled to dig deeper. Oh yes, Mike, do tell me about your impressive gingerbread house, how did you make those marshmallows look like snow? Yes, Mike, I'll take a sample of your biscochito brittle (honestly goooood). Mike, is this a Harry Potter candy table? Why, now this, Mike, this is something that would definitely appeal to my Potterhead kiddo. Why yes, Mike, I'll take some of those Bertie Botts beans. And she'll appreciate my bribery. To summarize: I like candy shops, and it takes a certain personality, a Mike, to make such a shop win. Visit this place if only to enjoy a conversation with this Mike guy, learn about how his wife insisted on the Potter table, how his son is excelling at school, these kinds of things that remind us that small businesses with devoted owners can remove us from our stressed-out everyday existence and deliver down home conversation that simply sticks with you, like the calories in those biscochito brittle bites.

Stopped in on Christmas Eve while walking our pup around the park. The shop is dog-friendly which…read morewas nice since it was the only store along the plaza area we could all go into. We got a green chile brittle and a red chile fudge. Fudge had a bite and brittle was to die for. The prices were reasonable and it always feels good to support local. Will definitely stop by next time we're walking the plaza.

If you want a burrito that has been in a warmer way past its time or some stale corn chips... do stop in! I know it is hard for small name brand stores to survive but if the place isn't clean, feels unwelcoming, is over priced and understocked .. well, you are kind of sealing your own fate. Sorry.

Delicious food! This…read moreplace is very nice and has wonderful employees. A whole lot friendlier than the place that's located closer to the highway. Seven of us ate dinner here and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Some had a pizza, some had the tacos, I had the quesadilla and another the chili rellano and one had the spicy pork. Everyone was happy with their meals!! Not a bad selection was made. Food was hot, fresh, tasty and very filling! Super yummy! Please see the pictures below and let your eyes do the feasting for you!

It had been a long day and pizza sounded like the perfect thing to take back to our hotel…read more We walked in and were welcomed and told it would be just a moment. No problem. We waited until someone was available to take our carry out order. Note, at the same time, two folks who parked next to us came in and headed to the bar in the back. We placed our pizza order were told about 25 minutes so we wandered the gift shop and even selected some items that we purchased. Then we sat down on the bench that is right next to the cashier area. While sitting, I could hear another employee taking to-go orders over the phone. Each order was being told about 25 minutes. 25 minutes passed, then 35, at 40 minutes, we watched the folks who had entered with us leaving with to go boxes from their meal that they ate back in the bar. At 45 minutes, our to-go pizza came out. We took it back to the hotel. The pizza was very good. We did enjoy our food. The wait for a single large pizza with three toppings was extensive considering the seated area of the restaurant was only half full. I do not know how many people were in the back bar area. The parking lot was not overflowing. In the end, the folks are welcoming, plan to wait a while if you have a to go order, the pizza is very good.

The order on the screen popped up saying two double cheeseburgers. We had no choice but to pull up. When we paid my husband said could you repeat our order? The attendant said, one Diet Coke and two double cheeseburgers. Then my husband said, no we had two McDoubles. She then said, pull up to the next window please and then yelled to the person at the next window, "hey, they just changed their order to two McDoubles!" We pulled up and the woman handed us our food and drink. My husband said, are those 2 McDoubles? She looked at us and said, yeah. There are two. And shut the door. I know the difference between the two burgers is one piece of cheese. However, they were wrong and we were right and they never attempted to correct the order and were rude. We often travel on I40 and there are very few places to eat between amarillo and Albuquerque. Corporate needs to know about this location and if they cannot bring in decent management, they need to shut it down/

If you're making the drive between Santa Fe and Roswell, this is realistically the only stop--and…read morehonestly, it's a pretty solid one. Penny's has that classic roadside diner charm, complete with the shiny silver exterior and that satisfying old-school diner door. It leans into nostalgia in the best way, like you accidentally pulled into a time capsule somewhere along a desert highway. Inside was clean and well-kept, and the staff were attentive and friendly without being over the top--exactly what you want when you're road-weary and hungry. Food-wise, the burger hit the spot and the tots were crispy (always a win). Simple, classic diner food done right. A couple of knocks: the bathroom was just okay, nothing terrible but not great either. And the soda... not good. It had a strange flavor, almost like the lines hadn't been changed in a while--definitely stick with water or something bottled. Overall, it's not a destination restaurant, but for where it's at, it absolutely delivers. A reliable, nostalgic pit stop that does the job well. Worth the stop? Yes. Just skip the soda.

Finding Penny's is like striking gold (note: this review applies to their Yampa, Colorado, location…read moretoo). Either stretch of road is remote and food options are few and far between. When you see the lights are on, it's a relief. From what I understand, they're able to stay open 24 hours because of a contract with Big Rail, which keeps train crews fed and honestly, the rest of us travelers benefit too. I love that the choo-choos take care of their people while providing a service to anyone passing through. It's a cozy, welcoming stop when you need it most. The kind of place that makes a long drive feel less lonely. In the instance I'm in those parts of New Mexico or Colorado, Penny's is my go-to. Five stars!
