Easy and convenient online ordering ahead of time and it was ready when I got there.

They take call in orders which is pretty handy if your passing by on your way to work, the lake or the river for a day of fishing. Abe's flyshop is next door along with gas pumps that are available while you wait on your to go order. If you have time to stay and eat they are very attentive and take care of their customers. The bar is only open certain times of the fishing season but you can get beer, wine or a drink when they are open. Overall a good family owned and operated business. Great job.

Ate there with a group of 8 people, everyone was very happy with the food. To start off, the…read moreseafood boil is excellent. In a landlocked state, it's great to have such a tasty and unusual (Cajun) seafood boil. My wife and I split the combo called The Drift, which came with headless shrimp, scallops, mussels, and crab legs. Everything was excellent quality, and only one mussel wasn't open. It was 3 lbs and included a piece of corn, a few potatoes, and a superb sausage (I'd eat that alone; it was outstanding). It cost $68.95, which is a great deal considering it fed two people AND we have plenty of leftovers. You pick a sauce to come with the fish. I've had the Lemon Pepper at the Albuquerque location, but I saw they offer garlic butter online (not on the menu), so we asked and were told, sure, we can do that sauce. I can't decide which I like better, but I can say the garlic butter had plenty of garlic. One person ordered it with extra, so this restaurant is very accommodating. We ordered a side of rice to dump into the sauce; wow, that was very tasty. I think this would make great takeout too. Get some great French bread at the market across the street and use it to soak up the delicious sauce. So the weird part (at least for us) is that you're served all this great seafood in a double plastic bag filled with sauce, and you just go for it, mostly with your hands. They offer an abundance of plastic besides the bag: a bib (you MUST use it; don't worry about how you look), gloves (optional; I tried them at first, but found it far easier to eat without them), and a huge plastic-lined bucket to fill with the shells. It really is a fun, messy, delicious food event. OK, I'm a West Coast native and only 32 years in NM, so I've never experienced a seafood boil, which is probably why I found it a bit odd. But so what; the food is great! And it's very unusual in Santa Fe. The restaurant isn't much to look at, but it was clean and functional, so just go for the great food. Service was excellent; our server was Maxine. I didn't take pictures, a rarity for me, because, honestly, a photo of all this lovely seafood in a bag, swimming in sauce, isn't visually appealing, but the taste makes up for it.

This place was pretty descent for seafood boils. It was smaller in size but had enough…read moretables/booths to sit down comfortably. I was greeted and seated as soon as I walked in and allowed to pick my own table. My server was nice and showed me how they handle the boils as it relates to prices and what comes with the boils. They have some premade combos or create your own. I created my own. The flavor options were limited to two and 3 spice levels. None of the boil bags came with boiled eggs as this was not an option on their menu at all. I was quite sad about that as most seafood boil places offer eggs. The lemons were not included but instead were a side option unless you wanted the small complimentary side of them. When the food was brought out, there was only one clear bag it was held in which caused the oil and sauce to later seep through the bag and get on my table. The crab leg clusters were plentiful as well as the muscles. I only wish you could get less than a pound of crab leg clusters and less than a pound of other options instead of being forced into picking a pound. All in all, not a bad place for this seafood boil connoisseur. It was a little more on the pricey side compared to what I would pay at other places.

A Desert Gem: Navajo Blue Travel Plaza If you're cruising…read morethrough the heart of the Navajo Nation near Flagstaff, you have to stop at Navajo Blue Travel Plaza. It's more than just a pit stop; it's a cool, modern tribute to Diné culture with some of the best food on the road. The Highlight: The "Soo Big Burger" is the star of the show. You can get it on a standard bun, but the move is definitely ordering it on fresh Navajo Fry Bread. It's made with 100% Navajo Beef, and the quality is obvious from the first bite. If you like heat, be sure to add the green chile for that authentic Southwest kick. Final Verdict: Whether you're a local or just passing through to see the monuments, this spot is a "must." Great food, rich culture, and a perfectly "cool" atmosphere.
