After a bunch of runaround, I ended up getting an order that was not my original order, incomplete. Someone told me they wouldn't charge me for the second meal. I said why would I pay for a second meal when I didn't get my first. The manager told the people upfront to give me a discount. When I asked about that, the girl said well it would only be a couple dollars. So 45 minutes after arriving, I get a wrong and incomplete order, completely different that what I ordered originally. No discount or refund. Adding this: I tried to phone in a to go order but was sent to a voicemail saying they were busy and to leave a message. That's why I went in person to order. When I entered, there were 4 employees standing behind the register area, talking and on their phones. Altogether a miserable experience.

MAKE IT A PRIORITY TO STOP HERE!…read more We walked in to get a little coffee and after being greeted by the gentlemen at the front and seeing the young lady in the back preparing some new bakery items I knew this was the place. We ordered some pastries and coffee. We loved them so much we got some more to go so we can enjoy later in the day in our hotel. Absolutely among best home made fresh bakery items I have had. Stop by and support!

Carlson Coffee was worth a caffeine stop…read more I popped in on August 3, 2026 after a night's rest in Tucumcari. It's located on Route 66 Boulevard near the Blue Swallow Motel. Service was friendly even though I had to say three different times I wanted an iced latte. Lol. My iced vanilla latte ($5.75) was good. I needed to stir it quite often to maintain a consistent taste, though. A bakery called Goodies Go Last also shares space with this little shop. All items are charged on one ticket. They also had an array of souvenirs. Cash or plastic was accepted. Plenty of parking.

We received a recommendation from Mike from the Sunset Motel. He told us Del's was a great place…read morefor dinner and cocktails. He explained the restaurant served New Mexico liquor that tasted like regular liquor. So we found the restaurant in Tucumcari, NM. We got there at 6:15 and we should have arrived at 5:00. There was a wall of people waiting to be seated. We received a beeper that would tell us when we could be seated. We waited for 45 minutes and the four of us we were seated at a round table in the bar. Our servers name was Corina, she was amazing, she was the bar tender for the entire restaurant and was the server for 4 tables in the bar. She took our order for drinks and our appetizer and entrees. We all wanted the fried Catfish, however we found out they were completely out of it! And Friday they would have a shipment. My husband and I ordered the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. My husband ordered the baked potato with coleslaw . Our friends ordered the same. The meatloaf was delicious and the sides were tasty. We really enjoyed the quiet setting in the bar. There were lots of tables toward the entrance, and the people waiting for a table spilled out by the diners. So we were happy to sit in the bar where it was quiet and more intimate. We were so happy with our food and drinks we decided to go back the next day. So we arrived at 4:45 and requested the bar. We were served by Toni, she was a kick! We loved her sense of humor and her service. We had another wonderful meal. We wanted to reorder the meatloaf because it was sooo good. Unfortunately they were out of it! So we had catfish which was good. Toni made the best martini's using all distilled liquor from New Mexico . They don't have a regular liquor license which is extremely expensive in NM. The martini's were delicious, Toni knows how to make great Martin's. We highly recommend this restaurant, get there early wait times can be 45 minutes to an hour!

Stopped in this landmark spot for a bite to eat while in town visiting. Del's has been on the route…read more66 map for decades. Still has its traditional roadside interior, heavy wooden, kitschy, tourist destination vibe. We were greeted walking in and seated promptly. The hostess brought menus with her. We sat in the bar area the evening of out donner there. Our server was funny, upbeat and kind. She made our meal there enjoyable. A varied menu with a little bit of everything on it for all kinds of taste buds. After giving the menu a good look, I opted for their Chili Relenos with Hatch chilis. A nice serving with a pair of well prepared chilis, rice and beans with some diced tomato and lettuce. It was a good meal, the rellenos were done well, nice cheese stuffed, breaded and fried near perfect. All in all a good meal 4 Stars a solid choice in a town with limited options 01321

Lots of memorabilia to walk through and things that you could buy right now - dishes, clothes, vintage items. One large bathroom - roomy and clean with a super funny and relevant sign above the toilet. Welcomed into the place and asked if we were eating with them or was it take away. Eating In. Found the cafe part of the place stood and pondered the menu (pretty much same menu as posted in the pics) and decided what meats we each wanted on our 2 meat plate + 2 sides. Spicy sausage link with cheese, brisket, slaw and potato salad for him; ham and turkey meat for me with the beans (warned that they'd be talking later) and slaw. Each had a big slice of bread + butter and a sugar cookie. Drinks of lemonade and unsweetened tea were all you could drink and came as part of the meal. There are canned sodas and bottled Coca Cola for an extra price. I saw there was fresh coffee in the pot. All food was very delicious, fresh made, and served generous sized portions. We had so much leftovers we have a good start on tonight's dinner/supper. On the television was the Western/INSP channel with High Chaparral playing. Blast from the past. Great Wall art all over the place, and even outside on the "patio" area where there's cooking going on (spare ribs were smoking for tomorrow's customers). This looks to be a family run business with a friendly attitude. As the husband went to pay the owner-ess started to type in the credit card machine. My husband asked "Do you take cash" to which she replied "yes, we just do see it much." There ain't many a truer statement, everywhere we go it's typically the card. Husband tried to leave a tip and she wouldn't accept it. Just come on back again. I highly recommend this place as a stop over for a leisurely, friendly meal. As we left, the husband said "Nice ole folks ... Usually we have to pay for the cookie (home baked sugar cookie) and they gave it to us free as part of the meal."

This Starbucks in Roswell, New Mexico is hitting on all cylinders…read more They handle a very busy drive-through while keeping the store immaculately clean, which speaks to how well the location is managed. The space is smaller than many Starbucks locations, yet it operates more efficiently than some much larger stores. My pitch to make Starbucks bring back the "been there" series. The discovery series, pales in comparison. The staff is top-notch and clearly experienced. A special shout-out to Shelly, who has worked for the company for approximately 18 years. Does Starbucks have an award pin for year's service? She has an exceptional ability to understand customers' needs the moment they approach. It is clear that she genuinely enjoys her work and takes pride in the company, and that energy carries through the entire store. The music volume is ideal. During my travels over the past few months, I've noticed that some Starbucks locations play their music far too loudly. This store has found the right balance, creating an atmosphere that is welcoming without being distracting. Efficient, clean, and extremely well run. this Roswell Starbucks sets a strong standard. I think the Uber delivery person that picks up Starbucks could possibly be an alien!
