    They do have beer
    Todd R.

    Seems to be very clean. I must say for being out in nowhere land very clean. I was sat very quickly and my server came over almost immediately. Not a lot of customers so I hope the food is good. I stopped to get out of the rain. There is an old time soda shop but it is not open when I asked the waitress she said it is really never open anymore They do allow for take out and eat in. That is a plus I can't stop thinking of how clean this place is!! So I'm not looking for spectacular so it met that. Ordered the chicken fried steak. Little overcooked do it was hard and chewy. The gravy is not home made but it was ok. Suggest with the boiled corn throw on the grill really quick I also got the chips and salsa, chips must be from a bag as some are stale and salsa is nothing to write home about. Maybe try and make some salsa I think it would be a hit!!

    We had a great experience here. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was fresh and hot. It's a Diner, nothing fancy, but basic food done well. Prices were reasonable, portions were large & the experience was great. Really glad we stopped.

    Truly excellent food for being out in the middle of nowhere! Decent service, though getting seated takes a little while when the hostess is busy checking out customers. So many choices it's difficult to decide! We are working nearby for the next month and a half and I know will be back again and again!

    Lamb stew, or best known salty fatty lamb chunks!
    Kimson L.

    Dropped by this place on our route66 trip and this was the worse food we have tasted during our 65 days journey. Ordered medium rare steak with baked potato and lamb stew. The lamb stew is incredibly salty with fatty tissues on few piece of bones, the fried bread supposed to be soft and crunchy, not these... hard and tasted day old. And then the steak, overcook at first, sent back to kitchen, came back rare with blood and cold meat inside. What so hard about medium? 4 minutes each side, or until 140degF inside, rest, then serve! Couldn't eat much of it just nibble on bland boiled corn and a bit of baked potato for late lunch. And the service, took 15 minutes to be seated, 20 minutes for food to arrived after ordered, then you got lousy and expensive food!

    two plates of food with the words awesome menu selection at the best value

    After a long drive from Los Vegas, pulling into Dancing Eagle for a late lunch was such a surprise, who would have thought a small quaint casino on an Indian reservation would be so good, so clean and must of all so big, what a huge selection of food!

    The Laguna Burger is totally worth it!
    John P.

    This place is a nice and convenient detour off the I-40. We had a mix of salads, wraps, sandwiches, chicken fingers, and the Laguna Green Chilies burger... all very good. Denise was an excellent server.

    Great American diner came her to eat

    So much food! Every local we spoke to, even hotel staff said…read moreto go to Jerry's for breakfast. The service was outstanding and the restaurant was eclectic and old but very clean. I asked the waitress which was smaller the sopaipilla or the breakfast burrito? She said the sopaipilla. Holy moly. It was stuffed with thick bacon, hash browns, eggs and smothered in red and green salsa (they call it Christmas salsa). I ended up opening it and eating the inside because it was seriously enough for 2 people. Hubs had the Eye Opener. Two eggs, Christmas salsa, hash browns and bean, served with sopaipilla. He barely finished. The coffee was so good! Best place for breakfast in Gallup.

    Of course I found it through my fellow yelpers…read more I was looking for fry bread and this place popped up Decided to come because it has good reviews. Saw a guy eating a sopapilla outside said it was good and there were several people outside waiting so we were like ok it's gonna be good. Ordered the Sopapilia covered in red sauce because it was a popular choice. Sadly, I was disappointed. I think it would have been good by itself no sauce. Just a sopapilla by itself. In sauce was too much. The red sauce did not taste homemade. If it is I'm sorry but it just wasn't my cup of tea. The kids drummettes were fried and tasty. Other than that it was just another diner. We did meet others who said they frequent but knowing true Mexican food, it's a no go for me. Service was ok. Ambiance Diner feel. We met a guy who said there was a cafe town the road that he preferred I don't remember the name but at least I know I'm not the only one who did not enjoy it. He was also from Cali so there you go. Sorry to disappoint. Good luck finding good eats. SYOY
