    Im from Cali. This place is amazing! I know we have great locations in LA but if your ever in Las Cruces NM this is the place. Very friendly and family owned and run.

    Great little place that offers burgers, hotdogs, tacos for a GREAT price. Couldn't figure out difference between regular burger size and great burger as there was no description (great burger looks about 6 to 8 oz). The crust on flat top for all burgers was great. It is a smashed burger tho I guess for the great burger you could ask them not to smash. Hot dog was also on flattop and not boiled but wish they left it to char longer. Great variety of drinks and even unique flavors like strawberry cream sodas. The taco was probably most disappointing. It was meat and potatoes but it tasted too soft/mushy. Loved that they did toast breads and even taco shells. Some was bit too long on stove. They served burger correctly.. the cheese was on bottom then meat then toppings (to prevent bun from getting soggy. Onion rings, know they are frozen but didnt care as ut was fried Perfectly.. and i mean Perfectly to where u bite and onion doesnt come off. Not at all greasy and extreme crunchy with hint of salt which was fantastic! Crispy even after 10 mins (driving back). Overall, a really cute place to go for a some honest no frill food that doesnt overcharge for sides. 3 people who worked the fryer, grill and orders. Very nice. GO try it! It actually is a hidden gem

    Definitely a local favorite. The interior gives off cafeteria vibes, and you order at the counter. Food does take awhile. However, that's because they literally make each burger to order. The entire time I was there - well before lunch hours - there was a line. The burger was well worth the wait and is much larger than it looks in the picture; I'm sure this place has a loyal following in the neighborhood.

    The burger nook started selling their awesome burgers 40 years ago and still going strong today. Establishment is old but awesome with interesting of memorabilia. The tasty Burgers are cooked to order on the flat top grill. The buns are also toasted on the flat grill. I asked for chopped green chilies, lettuce, tomato, onions and mustard. My order of onion rings were fried golden brown - very tasty. The service was friendly fast and the food was delicious.

    Lunchtime!

    Thank you Yelp for hooking us up with a delicious burger place. It's not the best place I've ever been to in my life for a green chile cheeseburger, as I tip my hat to a place just outside Albuquerque for THAT nod, but the burgers are legit and worth a stop. It's definitely a mom n' pop place. Locals seem to call it in ahead of time, which is suggested, as time stands still here. If you plan on eating here, get there early as there's only 10 tables or so, and once you place your order, expect to wait as its cooked to order. We had the regular burger and the Great burger. The Great ones are much larger (hence, the word Great and it reflects on the price). The green chilies provides some heat but its not overly spicy. Very tasty. The fries are much to be desired. Limp. And a large is not large. I thought 2 could share a large, and it's smaller than a basket from In-N-Out. Quite disapointing. Would I stop again? Sure, but I'd stick to the onion rings, and call ahead for my meal.

    Don't miss the Burger Nook Sign!

    Today my husband and I stopped in the Burger Nook to try the Great Burger and it did not disappoint. Their burgers were so juicy, delicious, and amazing that I am already craving another one. Their homemade fries and onion rings are super yummy too. If you are craving a delicious burger I highly recommend giving this family owned business a try. You won't regret it!!!!

    Another trip over to the Burger Nook today. Ya just have to get some every so often. Arrived around 10:45 on a Wednesday when they were not too busy. The pleasant women had my food ready today in around 13 minutes. I ordered the double patty Great Burger with green chile, lettuce, and cheese along with a large serving of onion rings. A can of soda from the fridge was only a buck. The onion rings were good with a crispy batter...not at all greasy. The onions they used could have had more flavor, but overall the rings were good. Rate them a "B." The burger had two patties, not greasy but perhaps a tad dry. The meat was nicely seasoned. A slice of cheddar cheese lay over the meat but was unmelted. Fresh lettuce and flavorful chile accompanied the meat. The chile was properly strained and there was virtually no liquid or grease in the bottom of my basket when I finished my meal. The burger bun had a really good flavor. Overall, this was an excellent burger. Rate it an "A-." Today's dining experience at the Burger Nook was Four Stars for quite good. Casual but pleasant with good food. Every so often I just have to get me some!

    Waited about 30 minutes for a burger & fries. The burger was quite good, but the fries were extremely greasy and limp... basically inedible.

Having a hungry stomach I started to walk over to a hot dog cart set up by the exit. I was greeted by a man who turned out to be the owner and he pointed me towards the menu. Having traveled to New York City frequently I am very familiar with good hot dogs. I scanned the menu and decided on a bratwurst and a cheese dog and a soda. I quickly had in front of me two beautiful creatilons of meat on bread. The brat came with kraut and mustard and was as good as most German restaurants. However, it was the hotdog that really stood out.... I forgot that I was standing in Cruces and thought I was back walking around New York. Thick, moist, and had all the flavor you'd hope for on a great hot dog. The cheese on top was not your standard cheap nacho cheese but something much better that just added to the hot dog. I washed down both with a dr pepper and felt refreshed and full. Total price for both and the drink was under $5 and worth every cent. I am almost hoping more stuff breaks around the house so I'll have a reason to go back to Lowes so I can get a few more hot dogs! Great service and even better food.

I'm really not one much for ice cream, but I do like whatever is in ice cream if that makes any sense? All I'm saying is that ice cream has to have like brownies, nuts, bubblegum, and marshmallows and other bits and pieces of things to make it interesting.... We ended up getting a chili dog because I love chili dogs and sat there on their table for just a bit. I was so pleasantly surprised how nice it was and there's plenty of space outside and plenty of menus so people aren't huddled up trying to look at a small menu with small font. Plenty of space to order..and sit. The restaurant facilities seemed very clean inside, and the manager happened to take our order, who was very patient, friendly and answered lots of questions. Now I never have I ever really fallen in love with any particular ice cream, but I ended up getting the Butter Pecan and I requested extra nuts and they certainly gave it to me!!! I was just so so pleased!!! drove me nutty :) I don't live in New Mexico, but I certainly would drive back just to go and get more! We asked the locals where the best place was to get ice cream and they said hands-down go to Caliche's!!! We had a really satisfying experience, can't wait to go back.... highly recommend!!!
