I picked up two single pack NY Strip Steaks to grill while traveling/camping. I don't know where they source their beef but both of these steaks tasted so good. A taste I thought was long lost buying meat in large chain stores where I live. I would have rated this a 5 but could not not purchase Clorox spray. But it is understandable this smaller store may not stock everything, or perhaps run out of items at times. I will definitely be stopping here from now on.

The cheese was perfect, the veggies (including sliced avocado) were fresh and crisp, and the chilis (of course) were spot on. My wife enjoyed the rueben, which was also freaking amazing. The staff were genuinely nice as well. I was on my way to Santa Fe from Topeka and picked this as our lunch stop. Glad I did!

We had some time so we left the Guyon OK and headed toward New Mexico. So we are always looking for a place to eat lol! We ended up going through the town of Boise, then on to Clayton NM. I found Mary's Back Porch on Yelp and it was the only place open in town that we could find. It is totally eclectic! Flowers. bric a brac- even a cockatoo when you walk in. We walked to the back and there were a few tables covered in red checkered table cloths. Ruby the server and all around go to person, brought us menus. I had a chicken salad sandwich on Sourdough and a cup of. Poblano cheese soup. The soup was excellent and I didn't care for the chicken salad because it was on the sweeter tasting side. Dave had the brisket quesadilla and corn chips with salsa. His was delicious as was my soup. It's sad to see a town where hardly any businesses can survive. We thank Mary and Ruby for keeping us from starving lol! Good company and good food!

I have been in a couple of times where there was nobody in the front of the store and after waiting for two or three minutes I simply left without making a purchase. This usually happens on the night shift. Probably would only be two stars, but they are far better than their competitor in town so an extra star for that.

Went inside for a coffee since it was about 5:30am. Near the check out they had a variety of breakfast items in hot streamer trays. Which they served into a white styrofoam "to go" box. I ordered the biscuits and gravy with a side of scrambled eggs. The young man that served it up asked if I wanted one biscuit or two. Looking at the size of the biscuits I said one. He said are you sure? The price is the same. I still went with one. I went out to my van to enjoy my breakfast and coffee. I don't know where they get their biscuits. They taste homemade. The gravy was excellent too. I regret not getting that second biscuit. LOL Back home in Las Vegas, Nevada I joked with my wife. Someday we are driving there just for Biscuits. At a truck stop no less.

The dining room was spacious, every table could be filled, and you'd still be able to walk without asking people to move in. The Bar was equally spacious with plenty of drinking options. We got the deep fried devils egg for the appetizer, these were an amazing combination of texture and flavor. We each got a steak for the main course, both were cooked to perfection and tender beyond anything in our recent memory. The sweet potatoes were so perfectly cooked in seasoned. They were easily consumed using only a fork. We followed up with banana pudding and bread pudding. Both were out of this world. It's unusual to get banana pudding that's made in house and not some flavored glue out of a can. It was topped with whipped cream that actually melted, which told me it was real whipped cream. And it wasn't premade before I ordered because all the vanilla wafers both in it and around, it were crispy and delicious. The bread pudding was equally as delicious. It was dense and sweet and had a nice subtle flavor of bourbon. Even the iced tea was made in house, not from some concentrate or taken out of a soda fountain Our server Parla was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, she made our evening a wonderful overall experience

No recommendation. Locals seem to enjoy this restaurant…read more I don't want to come across overly critical, so simply put it's a middle of the road maw-and-paw shop restaurant in a tiny town where competition isn't driving the restaurant to the next level. So, they serve basic southern comfort fare and steaks, with acceptable flavor and quality. I ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. The beans were from a can. The white gravy was runny, like they were trying to stretch it out to last the evening. Nothing was bad, but nothing was great either. So, overall, my "no recommendation" isn't an indictment, it's simply that I'm left with no opinion. I probably won't return to this restaurant.

Food was basic but enjoyable. Service is a little slow and the waitress seems like she is going a million miles per hour with maybe 3 tables at most in the restaurant. She might also be the person cooking so maybe that's why she seemed so busy. What I didn't appreciate at all is the prices on the menu are not what I was charged. She did apologize and said menus are not updated and obviously paying $4 extra per plate wasn't something I was happy to do. Based on basic food, service and not honoring menu prices. I only give this place 3 stars . We're a military family coming from Fort Carson down to Fort Cavazos so we had no option but to stop and eat. Hope this post helps others traveling.
