I rode in half expectin' a little more alien flair maybe a green fella slingin' hash behind the counter but that ain't the hand they deal. What you do get is a clean joint, friendly service, and a plate that shows up honest and hot. That patty melt? Solid. Crispy, greasy in the right way, and worth the stop. Breakfast holds its own too eggs done right, no nonsense, just good fuel for the road. And for the record, the whole UFO business traces back to the Roswell Incident, which actually went down a ways outside of town but Roswell's been carryin' that legend ever since. End of the day, Cowboy Cafe ain't about gimmicks it's about doin' simple food right. Clean place, good service, strong local backing. Not quite outta this world... but a dependable stop all the same.

The service took incredibly long even though it was very slow. Not terrible, me and my girlfancé can excuse it. But the food was wayyyy below par. My girlfancé ordered a pizza. it was flimsy, burnt, too salty, and it was the best thing we ordered. My fajita chicken was burnt on the bottom of every piece. Our chips and salsa / cheese were ABYSMAL. Gas station chips are much crispier, the salsa wqs like water + tomato paste, the cheese was thicker and dark yellow, worse than cheapy movie nacho cheese. Overalll, me and girlfancé warn you - Farleys Food Fun & Pub may have some nice merch with ufos on it, but yummylicuous food is an ALIEN to concept to this establishment.

I will need to make the drive from Dallas to Roswell just to have this meal again. It would be 1000% worth it. After thanking the owner he had us try his candied lemon salad. SO delicious.

Leaving work after a long day, I knew I wanted steak. I'm not from Roswell, so I had to rely on…read moreYelp and Google to tell me what was available. Now the other alternative was Texas Roadhouse. Don't get me wrong, I'm regionally from where Texas Roadhouse was founded and it's huge, especially where I'm from. But part of my philosophy when traveling is to try someplace new, traditionally NOT a chain. So I gave this a shot. Cattle Baron reminds me of those old school steakhouses in the 90s that served steaks and an AYCE salad bar. Except it's much nicer ambiance-wise with a broader menu. I ordered the largest ribeye steak they had with a loaded baked potato, unlimited salad bar, a Coca-Cola, and a brownie for dessert. The total for ALL that ended up being $48.35. That's really cheap considering I had to be rolled out on a stretcher (joking). The most expensive item was the steak, in the $30-range but an unlimited salad bar for $4.95 and dessert for $6.95 can't be beat. The salad bar had everything you'd want in a salad bar with fresh veggies and toppings along with two soups, premade salads, and a sampling of sweet items like jello and fruit. I got 2 plates from the bar and two small bowls of soup. The steak and potato soup was good but the chicken soup was a bit salty for my taste. My steak and loaded potato was good and hit the spot. The potato was kind of dry, assuming it was a potato, already cooked hours ago and they just pulled it out to serve to me. After smothering it in butter and sour cream, the dryness disappeared. The steak was cooked medium rare, so no issues there but there was very little seasoning. I added salt and pepper to it, which made it a lot better. I wish it had a little bit more searing/char to it. I ended the meal with a brownie and ice cream, with caramel drizzle. The brownie was fairly large and warm, with a nice scoop of ice cream and ample ribbons of caramel sauce. It was really delicious and not too overly sweet! It definitely put me over the food coma edge. Service was good, but slow. My waitress explained to me that it was slow because a table of 39 people showed up, so she apologized. It didn't bother me though because I was so tired from working nearly 12 hours that day. I'm glad I supported local and my meal was definitely worth the price.

They don't bother me at all, but we also had to shoo away them and especially flies which are sure annoying. I opted for a whole #9 turkey with black olives ($13). I am glad I did get chips, salad, or soup. It would have been too much for me. The avocado on my sandwich was a bit of a turnoff, having browned quite a bit. However, it was tasty. My oldest got a whole #12 BLT ($14). That thing had a ton of bacon strips which she didn't share. Lol. She at all of it. She had a cup of tomato basil soup which I thought was okay. Not my favorite. The lemon berry mascarpone cake ($7) was very delicious even though the cake part fell apart easily. Our waitress was friendly, but just a bit weird at times - like not handing me the receipt when I reached for it. She instead placed it further out in front of me. She just was in La La Land I guess. I would back for a lazy brunch with mimosas.

A little bit less common yet, we find restaurants that provide this space over a long period of time. Martin's Capitol Cafe would be such. We ordered a tamale, carne adovada and a chimichanga. The chimichanga wasn't deep fried but pan fried, which was not common and already a red flag. We got our food and it was just OK. The chips and salsa were good, but the food was OK. My portion was also small, and the rice was a bit dry. Maybe we ordered wrong... The restaurant is also a bit well worn. It adds charm but I think charm that is not backed up with good food is like a band-aid over a bleeding wound.

My first meal in Roswell was this spot and it was a good option…read more I had a Combination Plate with 3 items: taco, chile relleno and enchilada. This was a nice portion of food with a good amount of flavor in each dish. The beef enchilada was probably the best item out of the three - well seasoned beef in a tortilla, covered with good chile sauce. The service was just okay - it seemed like we were almost inconveniencing our server, but at least the host was friendly. Despite being fairly empty, it did take a little while for our food to arrive. After some research, this seemed to be one of the better options for New Mexican food in Roswell, so I'd probably go back on my next visit.
