[[HIGHLIGHT]]Small diner-type place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was skeptical at first, but I wasn't paying, so I enjoyed my time. . . lol I could not decide on what to get. When you are hungry, everything looks good. I decided to stay with the Mexican food theme. I had a taco, an enchilada, and a chile relleno. Everything was good! I haven't had a good chile relleon in a long time, and this one was good. The sauce was good on the enchilada. Everything was good. I had a tickle in my throat, and the chile was a bit spicy and made me cough, but it was good. I enjoyed the food and the company. If I am in the area again I will come back. read more

The last time I was here, limited menu, mediocre food, counter service, paper plates, plastic flatware. Today... China plates, metal flatware, table service, competent diner food, and a totally reasonable diner menu. BIG change from last visit. I still don't love it but for Moriarty it's a fine option. read more

Been dieing for a shower, and pulled up my rig to this One9 Truck Stop that I've never bothered to stop by. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Felt like I was shot back in time to the 90s on route 66.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restrooms were retro, very 90s, run down but clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and if I was running from the Sinaloa Cartel...I could picture myself hiding in a place like this. Almost like a mix between the films Memento and Breaking Bad. But yes, Lisa's Grill. I had to stop in at this Southwestern Flare Diner! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's situated inside the truck stop, with a very 70s & 80s atomic age diners vibe like that one scene in the Kingsmen movie.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the ceiling, bold colored red, glossy, with silver...makes Johnny Rockets look artificial.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So I had to try their top picks on the menu. The Red Rooster -- country fried steak with red hot sauce, and their hatch chilli burgers. The food was ok, Id probably rate a 3.5/5. Menu is heavily influenced by Spanish cuisine. If your looking for a quick breakfast along route 66 in Central New Mexico, this is a good spot to take a break. Overall service, environment food I'd give it a 4/5. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seems pretty popular amongst the locals, and place is pretty packed for a lunch run.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Yea, definitely come check it out! read more

Going to be honest. I wasn't sure how to rate this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I walked in and immediately wanted to turn around and walk out because the smell from the septic was overpowering.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My sister however was starving and just kept walking in and seated herself. The waitstaff was friendly. They will chat you up if you are willing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wasn't busy but it wasn't dead either.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the Christmas Style Chicken Enchiladas. They were pretty tasty. Rice was under seasoned. I didn't try the beans. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would say if they cleaned up the septic and the smell this place would be 3 or 4 stars.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But the smell had my stomach turning for a few hours. read more

We arrived super hungry at this restaurant right when they were opening in the morning (7am.... Even though Yelp showed that they should have been open since 6 am) and learned that neither of their cooks came to work. We left to find breakfast elsewhere since they said it would be AT LEAST 20 minutes before they could get started setting up. read more

After striking out at three previous spots (two in Albuquerque had min 45 to 60 minute wait; one in Who Knows Where, NM was closed on Mondays), we found Lisa's Diner. Right on rte 66, connected to the back of a truck stop. Our server, Kaitlyn, very helpful and efficient. I ordered a three egg omelet w jalapenos and mushrooms, hash browns, and sour dough toast. My best friend, The Scrubba, ordered an Albuquerque Turkey on wheat w coleslaw. Another benefit was that we are in Moriariry NM, the surname of a great friend, Ken the Kid. My omelet was eggggcellent, w just the right amount of heat. Scrubba also rated his sandwich a 4. I took two pics of the food, but they seemed to have disappeared into area 51. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]50's diner vibe. Clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seat yourself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Waitress was nice, but a bit slow. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was not what I would call busy. It wasn't dead, but not busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was diner food. Ordered a club sandwich and a patty melt. They were out of coleslaw - the only non-fried side. And no chips. So we settled for fries. She offered info about the other sides available for additional cost. None are non-fried. It was pretty good. The patty melt meat patty could've used salt & pepper during cooking. The fries were not piping hot but pretty good. Not greasy. As a side note, she took our order and told us she'd take the order from the next table and then put our order in. The next table got their food before us. read more

For where it is- not bad at all. First good, open breakfast after Amarillo (I left at 430am). Red Robin was different but hit the spot. Coffee is pretty bad. Bathrooms horrible. Friendly service. 4* since it's very remote. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved this place - not what I expected at all from a restaurant in a truck stop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was clean and charming, with a timeline of the history of Moriarty from 1100BC to 1970, when the I-40 was finished.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was fast, professional and friendly. I had the Chiles Rellenos, and they were the best I've had in soooooo long! Crispy and obviously fried to order with fresh Chiles hit the spot after a long day on the I-40. I'm not sure you can get better in ABQ - handmade food made from tried and true New Mexican recipes awaits you here. Don't let the truck stop location put you off. Lisa's Grill is the real deal, and worth the stop! read more

The service was great. I ordered the red rooster, your choice of home fries, or hash browns,two eggs, and chicken fried steak. with your choice of toast and NM red chili. The chili has an excellent flavor without being overwhelming in heat. This is an excellent meal for the price and delicious. read more

***** TRUCK STOP DINERS ... are not my preferred dining option :) ...and this Truck Stop did not look great from the outside either ... ... but I had a couple hours to kill, while my wife was occupied with a volunteer Medical conference, at the local High school .... Clean friendly convenient truck stop with a loyal following Food was terrific and the service from Joe was even better. I'm missing the Chicken fried steak, and will visit again if I'm ever in town. Nice staff and regular patrons, who enjoy friendly local banter with the staff, and each other. Worth a visit ... a really nice experience read more

Excellent food and service! The whole enchilada is amazing. Red and green chile are both very good!

Food was ok but service sucks not ones did she ever check on my coffee refill. She was to busy sitting on a table talking to her friends. When I'm a paying customer. What i get better service at McDonald's. I'm a truck driver and stopin at restaurants are my brakes but unfortunately this is my first and last time here read more

So I order frequently from Lisa's and lately it's a hit or miss I've had meals replaced etc and still the same thing for instance I ordered a burger I asked for it median is cone so crisp that the cheese bits and ends of meat shatter. The fries are usually piping hot but more recently they I'm guessing are dropping them early and they come ice cold so I'm assuming a new cook but rumor has it that it's under new ownership. Get with it Lisa's for this I could eat at Blake's for cheaper but prefer to support small family owned businesses... read more

Working in the area was looking for a place to have breakfast and this place hit the spot the food was good and out fast

I just sat down for dinner ordered a hamburger steak with vegetables and potatoes. I see the guy behind the window cooking. Don't think anything of it. I get my food I start eating and then he walks out through the dining room. He looked like he'd been changing oil and filters on semi trucks all day. He was so greasy and dirty and yet he's the person handling the food. I almost threw up. I will never ever go back to this place. read more

Quaint cafe/diner nestled in the back of this truck stop. Offers great service and a variety of options with the full menu available all day. Portion sizes are big and you'll leave full. My omelette was over cooked and seasoning on the breakfast potatoes left it a bit bland. Otherwise, it was good. read more

For a diner in a truck stop the food is fairly good and the prices are reasonable. Especially for the serving portion size. My last visit i wasn't very happy with the service. The waitress only seemed to be attentive when she figured I was almost done and ready to go. Also I did not get the chips and salsa that's suppose to come with the Mexican entrees cause they wanted to close early. Which I was not informed of at time of order and only told when I asked after waiting on them. Not a big deal but I should've been told in advance in my opinion. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is a little outdated but I don't expect much....again it's in a truck stop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Other than that I will stop again if I'm going through and hungry. read more

Our experience here was excellent. I had the fish and chips with coleslaw and a dinner salad and it was all really delicious! My husband had the double burger and he also really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this place. read more

We stayed the night here in Moriarty, NM for the night and found this place in the truck stop right across the street from our motel. Wow Wow wow. Found was exceptional and the restaurant is clean and updated. Definitely recommend the steak patty meal. The patty was larger than my xl hand and it was charcoal grilled, covered in cream gravy with mashed taters and corn. Just what I needed after eating Mexican and burgers for a week. Keara did an amazing job making suggestions and delivering food with a smile. Well done Lisa's Grill read more

This place is super random but it's New Mexico it's all super random and that's what's fun about it. Don't take yourself so seriously and enjoy yourself. The food portions are huge from the sweet tea to the burritos. The wait staff are all super nice. I was shocked to see a Thai woman working there (I'm Thai). The town is like a couple thousand folks but has a decent amount of food places and things to shop and do. It's a stop on Route 66 and Lisa's is a truck stop for gas and food. So you see a lot of truckers coming alone and chatting up other truckers. It was kinda cool to see. It's designed really cute like part truck stop and part 40s diner. Lots of TVs to watch the games. They don't try to rush you out either. It was a very pleasant place to visit and I enjoyed the food. I'd definitely be back. read more

We didn't actually eat at the grill. We were filling up at the truck area when a woman walked in with breakfast burritos fresh from the grill. Hot and so good! We took two to enjoy with bacon, egg, cheese, potatoes and green chili. They were really, really tasty!! If we go back through we will make the stop just for the food. read more

Green chili hamburger was real good. The service was also good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not very busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Best in MoriartyNM

Omg! Great road food! Don't stop anywhere else. The red rooster was great and the breakfast burrito was huge and delicious!

Tacos were good. Waitress was friendly and helpful. Had a fifty's feeling with the table and chairs. Very clean.

Great food! Fantastic service! The coffee is always topped off; while you sip in your fresh coffee you can meet some cool people sitting adjacent to you as well :) I'm so glad we made this pit stop. read more

Use to stop all the time when passing thru. Just had breakfast pancakes with two eggs over easy. Eggs yolks were almost solid. Pancakes crumbled when trying to pick up with fork and tasteless hubbies hashbrowns were ordered extra crispy and they were barely browned and limp So very disappointing. Server was very nice and attentive read more

Don't let the looks of this little truck stop cafe fool ya. Breakfast was great and very large portions. I recommend the chicken fried steak with the red sauce on the side. Service was great all the staff interacted with kids as they came in. Friendly check good food check large helpings check. Good place to fill your belly and not empty your wallet. read more

I usually don't do these and had to make an account just for the occasion. I have been coming to Lisa's for years on my route. The staff has always been wonderful to me along with their amazing food. But the other day has changed where I'm wanting to spend my money. I had gone in during a usual busy hour at the restaurant only to find who I can assume is the owner yelling and screaming at the already stressed and short handed staff about wait time. I watched the waitresses scrambling to make sure everyone was kept happy and was served as quickly as possible but I refuse to support a man who thinks it's okay to treat his staff like that. Those poor girls were left crying while he walked away like it was just another day. I can't imagine how often this happens. That crew deserves better. read more

Food was amayzing clean and fresh and delicious!!!! Service is fast. The place is good for resting and plenty of spacee

Stopped by for late breakfast and I was pleasantly impressed. Food was flavorful, staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, great experience that will prompt repeat visits. read more

My family got sick after eating here. We heard good reviews on it and chose to try it. Never again. The food was bland and didn't taste good at all. The instant mashed potatoes were horrible and our food wasn't the best. We ended up shitting our pants once we got to the pumpkin patch and had to leave early cuz we weren't feeling good. So overall never again better luck eating the sandwiches in the coolers. read more

The food was expensive just to end up being bland, cold and no flavor and still had to end up paying for it because we were allowed to cancel it. Took 40 minutes for a dang sandwich to come out not to mention the slices were tiny. The only good thing about this place is just the fries. Never coming to this place again. read more

The food took forever to come out, it was completely bland, and it was way too expensive. The only saving Grace was our server who was sweet as pie. Can't remember her name, but she had long, brown, curly hair read more

It was recommended that I come here to eat and try the Green Chili cheese burger. Wow!!! It was amazing. Definitely worth the trip. I will definitely stop here again when in the area and recommend others to try. read more
