Wow! Best food I've had in a long time!…read more I came for the historic hotel on the way home from Telluride to Scottsdale. There didn't seem to be much around to eat that was open on a Sunday so I came to the hotel restaurant. I saw lots of people had the chips so ordered the trio dip appetizer. The guac was definitely my favorite. So flavorful and fresh! The salsa was delicious but a little extra spicy and the queso was yummy! I ordered a cup of the green chile pork stew and it was spicy but delicious, a little light on the pork but very good. I got the Rita Moreno three chicken enchiladas with green chile. Best chicken enchiladas I've had in a long time! The chicken was moist and had just the right amount. Excellent flavor and melted cheese. The rice and beans were very bland. My friend got the chicken mole and got light sauce but she wished she had got the full sauce because it was that good! The whipped potatoes and sautéed veggies were the perfect accompaniment. I wish this place was where I lived because I would eat here as often as I could. Great atmosphere and service too. Had fun wandering around the gift shop after.

Kind of stuck in Gallup for places to eat. The area is sad and we didn't feel safe walking around…read morethe area after dark, plus a lot of places are only open for breakfast through lunch. We went to the bar and waited for our table. The place was packed due to several motorcycle clubs from all over the country doing the Route 66. When we were finally seated, the first off-putting thing was our waitress. She was chewing a wad of gum and it was gross. I had a burger as did my friend. Our husbands ordered different types of pasta. We asked our gum chewing waitress for water 3 times. "Oh sorry, I'll bring it". Nope, a food runner finally brought us water. We asked for mayo 2 times. Nope. The same food runner brought it. By then, our food had been on the table for 15 minutes. The fries could have been cooked another 3 minutes. Not really crispy. The pasta was decent.

We're from California and used to having tons of food options, but I had never actually tried fry…read morebread before. We were just passing through Gallup and needed a quick lunch. We found this spot on Yelp and I'm so glad we stopped! We got the fry bread (sandwich) and it completely surprised us. I usually think lamb is too gamey, but this wasn't at all. When I brought it out, my husband thought it was beef at first because of how mild it tasted. The portions are huge. HUGE! One taco was seriously the size of a medium pizza and somehow we still finished it. If you're taking it to go like we did, eat it within 5 to 10 minutes so it doesn't get soggy. They also have free broth and honey inside which was such a nice touch and made it even better. Dipping the fry bread in the broth was a nice touch. Like a lighter consomé. Try it with the honey, too! We did with the remaining fry bread as a bit of a dessert. The best part though was the woman working there. She was so kind, answered all my questions, explained everything, and even gave me a magazine about Gallup. If you want something authentic and filling, definitely stop here.

I've had native food a few times here and there but never in an actual sit-down restaurant setting…read more The lady who was working was extremely nice. I wanted to try everything but settled for the lamb stew and the navajo burger. Like other reviews stated, portions really are HUGE. The broth was even self serve in a hot pot out on a counter which is pretty cool. Super nice on a 10° day. I wasn't sure but it seems like native cooking is very light on additional seasonings as my food wasn't as salty as I usually prefer. Which I guess might be a turn off to some but if that's what traditional cooking is then... yeah. The navajo burger actually had enough flavor from the patty. I loved the fry bread. The broth was amazing, I just wish it were a little more salted but that's something easily fixed. Oh I almost forgot. I guess my brain blocked out the trauma of it but New Meixco is supposedly well known for their chilis and this place has some fire chili. literally. roasted green chilis. but yeah it was painful. I couldn't take it. Definite must for any big spice head. Highly recommend broadening your horizons, trying something new, and supporting a locally owned business!

Sadly, the menu changed, and many fan favorites were removed. The staff was kind and courteous and knew the menu well. I traditionally like trying places I've never been and staying away from chain restaurants, but this was within walking distance of the hotel, and I knew what I could get and what I would expect after a long day of travel.

I don't know if it's this particular location, or the franchise in general that has gone downhill,…read morebut the quality of the food was very disappointing when we stopped here for breakfast on our drive through New Mexico. Everything lacked seasoning and seemed gelatinous and barely warmed through. It was like cafeteria food that's sat out for too long. The only saving grace was our amazing waitress and the gift shop where our family members each pick out a Christmas ornament as part of our holiday traditions. We'll be looking for somewhere else on our next road trip.

Angelic was really friendly and patient as some people trickled in from the Home Depot. The others at the bar were fun and talkative.

GREAT APPLEBEE'S EXPERIENCE!…read more This location is conveniently located within walking distance of most of the hotels in the area, right off of the I-40. Our server, Cleo was very nice and friendly. The drinks all came out tasting delicious. All of our food was cooked great. My husband noted that the appetizer sampler tasted better than usual. My dad loved the bourbon Street chicken, served on a platter similar to fajitas. We had a great experience at this Applebee's. The interior is nice, with art pleasant to the eyes. All in all, I would come back again if I were in the area on a road trip or stopping through town.

Because service was already moving so slowly, we placed our food order at the same time. It then took another 15 minutes for drinks to arrive, and only 2 out of 3 drinks were brought out. After reminding them of the missing drink and repeating the flavor, we waited another 20 minutes just for the wrong drink to be delivered. Meanwhile, our food still hadn't arrived after an unreasonable amount of time. The entire restaurant seemed disorganized, inattentive, and poorly managed.

The Navajo Taco was gigantic and can easily be shared. It had plenty of meat, beans, and other fresh ingredients. The jumbo combo came with rice and refried beans.
