Texas Toast with a burger patty, grilled onions, fries, cheese and (here is where it changes) a choice of white gravy, brown gravy, Red Sauce or Green Sauce. Also known as Horseshoes! I chose the red sauce and it was delicious. Perfectly medium Rare. My only complaint was the onions. When I hear "grilled onions" I think soft and caramelized. The onions I recieved didn't even seem to touch the pan. But it was still a delicious dish. The waitress was great! Wonderful sense of humor. Did everything she could to make us feel comfortable and happy. Well done! The diner was just that...a typical Route 66 Roadside Diner ... but elevated.

Very tasty and well proportioned. Secondly, I'd say off the breakfast menu the biscuits and jalapeño bacon. I opted for a few eggs and a sausage patty for the review of course. For a local yokel establishment it was great for lunch and alright for breakfast. A bit high on the breakfast at $24.00. And to boot they were going to throw a glass of milk out that a patron did not want and I said I'd take it vs throwing it away lol still charged me the $4 for a glass of milk that was about to go down the drain.

I went to the convenience store to get a fountain drink of Coke and of the 10 options only 2 had actual soda connected to them. We were there on a weekend and the museum was closed which seemed odd.

They have your seat yourself and when you're ready to cash out, just head up to the register and they'll take care of you. The burgers were not only delicious, but they were quite large. The pie coming out of the kitchen looked really good. Next visit, we'll split a burger and chips and save room to share a piece of pie. The service was nice and the restrooms were clean. Cute photo ops. This was a nice stop on the way to Santa Fe.

BAD Discrimination simply for an innocent complaint for a wrong order given to me…read more I ordered 2 orders of chilaquiles Mexicano. Got Eggs, beans, Rice for both. They had the order right on their end. I was thinking maybe I messed up- but no. They told me it would be comped. Weeks later- No compensation. Nothing. I paid $30 for something I could put on warmer for 5min. 4 eggs. Beans. Rice. $30. After being treated & costs for what I never ordered- They also- expected ME to drive 40 minutes from my job site to replace the order and PAY on top of it. Couldn't it be a free order some other day?? NO STARS. When I complained- I said 'aguachiles' (we all say the wrong thing sometimes) instead of chilaquiles. And the Family Del Sol said, 'Think you have the wrong place. We don't have that.' Giggled And hung up on me AGAIN. I strongly discourage any business like this. I never had a problem before. But maybe FIX - YOUR mistake?? 'No we're offering 10% off your next order...that's all we can do.' No it's not! It's eggs, beans, rice.. If that return is worth more to you than a good customer- I wonder on your sanity already. Not even common sense!! I've been in customer service & food over half my life. Ridiculous. And to be MORe than RUDE on top of it- when I had been nothing but polite. I even speak basic Spanish. I feel sorry for those that don't and go here. This family clearly has no idea how to run a business or treat people. But they continue to because it's a monopoly here- where else do you go? You want to be discriminated against- & laughed at behind your back- go here. I've heard 4 other terrible stories from people who live here. Just bringing up 'customer service in this town'... I don't even live here but have been for a long time working. These people are extremely rude & I can tell you- don't deserve business until changes in attitude are made. Yes it is definitely possible to be bitter against your own customers but I don't recommend it at all. Ironically- Don't bite the hand that feeds you..

But she did her job. If I came back to this town I would go back to this place. I hope this was just a bad afternoon as I went around 230.

I do t want to embellish or over do it... but I'm not kidding when I say these may be the best 2 d@@n cupcakes I have ever had!!! They explode with flavor in your mouth. The strawberry was vivid, the sweet but not overly sweet, the cake and the cream were extremely creamy and moist! The Snickers cupcakes.... Jesus took the wheel on this one, lol. It's insanely good. Little sweeter than the Strawberry but so tasty! The frosting again was perfect in consistency. The flavor of caramel, Snickers, and I think a little peanut butter absolutely lights up your taste buds!!!! If you are in Amarillo...heck Texas hah....you need to make a pitstop here and try these cupcakes. It is so clear why they won Cup Cake Wars. Absolutely fantastic....and the best part, they kept their prices reasonable at $2.85!!!!!

The receptionist referred us to the direct booking site for details, but we booked directly through Agoda, not elsewhere and was not going to review all possible listing sites for their fees on a tired night. The receptionist also looked tired, as if she just crawled out of bed, and didn't even know how to turn on their front desk computer for check-in (she had to call for help), which caused check-in process to take around 20 minutes. The room itself was cozy, vintage rustic, and clean, which was nice. The bath tissue was Scott thin single-ply and shampoo, conditioner, body wash was a generic 3-in-1 so they cheaped out on toiletries. The AC blower unit vent directly hit one of the 2 full beds and made it very cold. There should be a AC deflector to prevent direct blowing to bed. Breakfast in morning was a bit disappointing. Small selection of continental items, with a few ordering of hot items. We arrived around 7:45 am, but there was no more orange juice. I requested more for kids, but server said they're out and had a single 46 oz bottle for breakfast for all guests (another stinginess example)! Server also for forgot my son's breakfast burrito order when we ordered and he later didn't even want it after being disappointed by the breakfast. At least the quiches slices were pretty good. After breakfast, we attempted to discuss late check-in fee issue with owners, but no one was at front desk even after ringing service bell multiple times. After departing, we called back to request waiving late fee with owners Janet and Keith, but they were dismissive after 2 separate calls. They requested our Agoda confirmation information, which was forwarded via email, but they didn't respond afterward. For a local small business, they were very petty and adamant on charging this late fee. I was hoping to be treated with more respect and decency from small business owners, unlike other large corporate owned hotels, but this will be the first and last time we stay at Hotel Eklund.

Our Eastward travels on the backroads brought us to this hidden gem. This was a very cool old…read morehistoric building, preserved and so well taken care of. Parking on the side of the building made access to the entrance just a few steps away. Our check in was quick and easy by a friendly member of the staff. We were assigned to Room #202. The elevator made our getting there painless, with the opportunity for using the stairs to get back down. The room, while small, was like a step back in time, cowboy themed and clean. We settled in and proceeded to the dining room for dinner. After perusing the menu we opted for the Sirloin Steak dinner with baked potato and choice of vegetable of the day and side salad. We also ordered a drink from the bar, the local Alien Amber Pint for me and the Mondavi Chardonnay for my wife. I enjoyed my beer but sorry to say that the wine was terrible, though my wife would not let this be known there. Dinner arrived and was plated beautifully, unfortunately the steaks were very tough, grisly and even hard to cut. The flavor was good and they had been cooked a perfect medium rare but the star of this dinner was a terrible disappointment. Again, my wife did not want to say anything. We finished dinner with a Gin and Tonic, enjoying the company of the other folks dining here for just a bit, some local and others passing through as were we, then headed back up to our room, finishing our drink there, to call it a day. The bed was very comfortable and the crisp sheets made our great night sleep even better. Three trains passed through the city overnight and I heard all three of them, loving the whistles and the sounds that only a train can make. We headed to breakfast in the morning with high expectations based on reviews that we had read about 'made to order' omelets and tasty baked goods, but for us the whole experience was just a bit strange and hard to explain. A sign at the entrance of the dining area described the choices from the kitchen. We proceeded in and took a seat. A lady from the kitchen asked if we would like coffee and that was a "yes". She brought the coffee then as she began her return to the kitchen I had to approach her asking about the procedure for getting breakfast. We requested the Quiche. The 'Crustless Quiche' was really nothing more than an omelette cut in the shape of a piece of pie. It was served to us, by a lady who worked in the kitchen, on a cold plate, and the 'quiche' itself was dry and cool as well. The only other breakfast items available, on a side table set up in the restaurant, were a small amount of oatmeal in a crock pot, which was still hot, with cinnamon and brown sugar on the side. And, there were cold biscuits with butter and jelly , and a small piece of cinnamon coffee cake that we split. There was also some kind of juice. I try not to be too harsh in my 'Yelps' but for me this breakfast experience was a terrible end to our stay in this historic hotel. Would we stay here again if our travels took us this way again? I am not sure. We loved the old hotel. The people were friendly but our dining experiences were disappointing. Still, I gave this a four because we enjoyed everything at this hotel other than our dining experiences.
