    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!

    The service was very friendly, the food was very good, and the ambiance relaxing. Glad we stopped -…read morewe were hungry and this place did not disappoint. When hungry and in the area we recommend stopping. It's a quick bite, not super fancy but nice and good food nonetheless. We would go back and will when in the area again. Cheers

    Stopped hear after seeing the recommendations on yelp. Thank you once again yelpers. This place is…read morefantastic. Small, one owner restaurant. Friendly, food is prepared with care and delicious. We liked it so much that we stopped again on our way home two days later. First time through I had the huevos rancheros. Cooked and served exactly as I like, with red chile on the side. Red chile was flavorful and not real hot, but spicy enough. My table mates had a cheeseburger with hand cut fries. It was cooked exactly as she asked for it. My other table mate had biscuits and gravy with two scrambled eggs, and she ate every bit of it. On our way back home on sunday.They had a special sunday menu. Two of us had the spaghetti with meat sauce. It had flavorful meat sauce. Could have used a little more garlic in the sauce.But that is a personal preference of mine. I had enough to take home and have for a second meal at home. Both times we were there.The owner came over to make sure our meals were as we asked for and that we were enjoying them. On Sunday when we came back through, he was the one waiting tables and told us a lot of punny jokes. If you are going south through Fort Sumner, instead of taking a left towards Clovis, take a right and try this restaurant, you will not be sorry.
