    Cheesecake, with raspberry sauce and fresh raspberries!  Awesome!
    Rebecca B.

    Dessert was the best. Fish and fries was very greasy, calamari was served eith tempura veggies. My server, Bo (sp?) was awesome.

    Stopped in to try after visiting the Carlsbad caverns. I ordered spinach artichoke dip which was really good, Caesar salad and the green chili fettuccine. The ambience is cute and cozy. The staff was nice but service lacked a bit which the waiter forgot to put in my entree. My Caesar salad came out with no dressing and we were checked on after the fact there was a complaint. The staff sincerely apologized and quickly took care of the problem and comped my entree and a desert because of this I will return. This establishment did the right thing to keep a customer.

    Warm Brussels salad

    I came here with a friend while visiting the Carlesbad cavern. After waiting 40 minutes and seeing 3 tables come in after us and both have drinks and food already, we flagged down someone. They said no one was assigned to us and that's why we didn't even have water yet. But a waitress said she would take our table. She was cool and polite but don't know why the mistake happened. Surely it was easy to notice in a not large restaurant this table just sitting for a long time. The food was good. I highly recommend the warm Brussels sprouts salad. I ordered a drink right when taking orders that didn't come until halfway through dinner. It was a mojito and had very little mint. It wasn't good and again came out way late. My friend had meatloaf and it had marinara sauce on top instead of what you'd expect with meatloaf. I had a salad which was good. The ambiance was nice with dim lighting and Christmas lights. Overall though the lack of service was enough to make me not recommend this restaurant. Hopefully they can figure out what their inconsistencies are.

    Yellow Brix was so good we went two days in a row during our Carlsbad trip! On day 1 we were kind of in a rush to eat in between viewing Carlsbad Caverns, and trying to return for the bat flight show. We were seated immediately, served, and finished eating all within 30 minutes! The food was honestly impeccable. The flavors all worked perfectly! I loved the touch of sweetness from the cranberries in the Warm Brussels Salad, and the use of parmesan on the salad, truffle fries, and meatloaf. The baked penne is like fancier and yummier mac&cheese! I highly recommend both dishes, as well as their delicious cheesecake and creme brûlée! We went back for breakfast the next day (Saturday Breakfast until 12 pm) and were equally blown away with the amazing flavor of the food! Not a great picture, but the breakfast chicken fried steak was probably the best I've ever had. The sides complemented it perfectly. I tried a pancake for something sweet, and it was very yummy too! Also, I swear this place hires the friendliest staff with the best customer service. Every staff member I encountered was polite and friendly, smiling, wishing us a good day, etc. I was so impressed with the service! Lastly, the entire restaurant has very nice, beautiful, and clean surroundings. There is a lovely outdoor area as well. I think the restaurant is set in a house... it has charming fixtures, windows, and doors. The restroom alone is really impressive! 10/10 recommend to anyone in Carlsbad for any meal of the day!

    Cute little spot in Carlsbad, they have a solid menu with a good variety of food and drinks. I wish we could have gotten outdoor seating on the patio but they were quite busy and so sitting in the back room was totally fine other than the AC was cranked pretty high. We had a larger group which this was a great fit for. I got the bacon banana crepe and it was very good. Portions were huge and definitely hit the spot.

    *** great indoor/outdoor dining with a full bar in Carlsbad, NM *** We missed out on brunch by minutes. I'm totally blaming it on my sleepy head 6th grader, but she needed extra sleep with all the school state testing lately. + Green Chili Fettuccini with added seared tuna = $22 (I highly recommend this... my daughters wouldn't stop eating off my plate!) + Gourmet mac n cheese (kid's menu) = $8.50 + Brix quesadilla (kid's menu) = $8.50 + Bloody Mary (they were out of Tito's so I went with Ketel One... it was a bit too peppery for my liking) = $9.00 + Dr. Pepper = $3.75 + Lemonade = $3.75 + Tiramisu = $10 A 3.5% fee is added to credit card charges. Ample side street parking. Our waitress with the Piglet socks, Jimmina, was very attentive and friendly. Their women's restroom was so cool. Very clean unlike the dining room which could use a deep cleaning - especially those floor vents! RATING BREAKDOWN Food/Drinks: 4.5 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 4.5 | Price: 4

    Chicken Tortilla soup
    Ellen W.

    I do not like writing this review. The restaurant was recommended to us by a local. The exterior was inviting, nicely decorated. They were packed and only standing room near the host station but we only waited about 10 minutes to be sat. The servers were rushing past. We were patient but after 15 minutes without acknowledgement, I wanted to leave. My friend stopped a server who apologized profusely and took our orders. I had the salmon with side salad and pozole. The pozole was amazing! The salmon wasn't warm and not great. My friend had the 6oz medallions. They ran out of mashed potatoes so he had the chicken tortilla soup and fries for his sides. The sides were large portions. The proteins seemed small in comparison. The medallions were room temperature and very fatty. We had to ask for silverware and napkins. The server really tried to make things right by getting us a discount and free desert but it was too late.

    Avocado toast with eggs over easy paired with breakfast potatoes.

    This was an amazing gem of a restaurant. I really loved the small town feel and local vibes. The service was very good. I did not leave hungry the food was amazing.

    We came here for lunch at visiting Carlsbad Caverns National Park. The patio is surprisingly cute and there's some wizard of oz decor inside. I got the chicken salad wrap with fries and it was pretty good. The service was a bit slow.

    My husband and I were staying next door at the Homes2Suites and decided to grab a couple pizzas to…read morego. One of the pizzas we ate at the hotel and one we ended up taking with us to Carlsbad Caverns the next day and eating as a picnic lunch which was so fun! Both fresh and as leftovers, the pizzas were very good. We also indulged in a couple of IPAs/ Pale Ales as we waited. All of which hit the spot. The place was PACKED! But the line went by quickly and waiting for food was easy enough. There seemed to be a bountiful amount of seating.

    DLDR: Food is decent, service takes forever, and the beers are delicious…read more First time to GMBC and I'm going to try to have an open mind. This brewery is an oasis in Southern New Mexico. I can honestly say I could drink their brews daily as there is a wide range of IPA to almost Pils which should satisfy most folks. Beer = damn good! Ambiance is nice but simple. I can see that there might be a vision for branding and a local guitarist setting the tone. I'm all for it! It's a good idea but needs more application. Here's the problem: The service and wait times are very bad. Not the worst I've had, but it will 100% take you 30+ minutes to get a pizza plus wait time in line. To me, that is absolutely unacceptable. I don't have a problem with queuing in line for food and drinks but the speed needs to increase just to adhere to the vibe GMBC is trying to create; a Guadalupe Mountain Brewery that focuses on food, family, and beer. About the pizza, promising an open mind here, it's ok. Again, an oasis in a Domino's wasteland. But Dominos fully cooks their pizzas. I am 100% a pizza snob. I give these pies 2.5/5. Far too many toppings and a pale crust. Less toppings, more heat, more experience from the BOH staff. The pies are not cooked long enough as the cheese is clumpy and uneven and the toppings (veggies mainly) are huge, undercooked and the pizza was served nearly cold! Great portions but poor bake as they prioritize "speed" over making a good pizza. If you have never had a delicious slice, this is a solid step in the right direction. If you are used to professionals creating quality food, you will be disappointed. Still, don't shy away from this brewery as you can have a good (quite long) time as the beers are fairly priced and food will satisfy you. Absolutely throwing shade to the queso which is just canned Queso brand with crappy chips. I might add that the queso came with a hair in it but was slowly rectified by a server that I had to flag down. Ultimately, why should I wait so long in line for food that is minimum standard and is amateurish? Because I'm in Carlsbad, NM and there isn't competition to incentivize this place to be better. I want them to be better because I plan on making this a solid pit stop in the future. Keep up the good work, but continue to improve.
