While visiting Santa Fe, our group decided to take a side trip over to Taos to check out the art scene. Once there, the first order of business was finding a restaurant because we were all ravenous. Some of us wanted breakfast, and others were ready for lunch. We were fortunate enough to track down the Bent Street Grille, because it turned out to be perfect! It was a Sunday and the place was crowded with hungry diners. However, the staff was able to put together a table for six right away, which seemed almost miraculous. It's a lovely restaurant with seating both inside and outside. There was a musician playing out on the patio but in a low-key way, so the music didn't intrude on conversations. (Important because I'm slightly hearing impaired.) It was difficult to choose between all the tempting options on the menu! But I finally settled on the Berry Nice Waffle. It was excellent! Others selected the Bent Street Eggs Benedict and French Onion soup. All the dishes were delicious with generous portions and fresh ingredients. We'll definitely return to the Bent Street Grille if we ever get back to Taos! read more

Chicken and waffles was very different yet delicious Bloody Mary was good too. Service was spot on read more

I've been hearing rumors that since the ownership changed the food is actually good. I gave it a shot and the rumors a true ! I got the Californian sandwich and key lime pie. They were both delicious. Everyone working there is so nice and they went above and beyond by bringing my order to me at work and also made sure that there were no onions on my food! The key lime pie is so good. Grateful we have another option downtown since options are very limited. read more

Rolled into Taos a little early on a Monday and needed somewhere to kill some time before hotel check-in. Not many places are open on Mondays, so I was glad to find Bent Street Grille. It's a cute little café-style restaurant right in the plaza area. Getting seated was a little awkward at first, but once I was at the table the service picked up quickly and the food came out fast. Prices were reasonable and the food was good. I went with the Southwest Philly cheesesteak with beef. It's definitely not a traditional Philly, so die-hard purists might not love it, but I enjoyed the southwestern twist. The location is great too. Being right in the plaza makes it easy to wander the nearby shops before or after lunch. Solid spot if you're in Taos looking for a casual bite. read more

Bob, Laurie, Gayle, and I all enjoyed a pleasant outdoor Brunch here last Sunday. The Bent Street Grill was recommended to us by our Santa Fe Footprints walking tour guide (Terry) and it was a solid experience. Service was friendly and the soft live acoustic guitar music in the background added nicely to the ambiance. Bob has a variety of food allergies starting with gluten and he was one happy camper as the menu offered him lots of options, with the menu notes helping to lead the way. Laurie needs to have her food plain, and there was plenty to choose from there. I was perhaps the least adventurous by ordering an old standby - The Tuna Melt. It was very tasty, although their version was more like fresh tuna salad on toast. Gayle was perhaps the most adventurous in her choice of Chicken and Waffles with Green Chile. She later mentioned that she loves all 3 flavors, but was unsure whether she liked them together. We also chose well in having our Brunch before visiting the Taos Pueblo, of which we hung out for quite awhile. There's no point in experiencing local culture while hangry. read more

The restaurant is nestled in the perfect spot to get your grub on and then do some shopping. As you walk in, you are greeted by the open restaurant concept where you can see the chef's do their craft. It was clean and inviting. We sat towards the front of the restaurant and while it had a great view to their outside patio, it can get a bit squished and confined when they are packed full of people. The server was nice but not as attentive as you would hope for. Maybe she had a lot of tables to serve, we're not sure as we were only a few (at the beginning) to eat here. What we ordered: - huevos rancheros with Christmas sauce (both red & green sauce): the eggs were cooked great but the star of the dish was that red and green sauce! Wow! You want to talk about flavor and just the right amount of heat!!! This is definitely a different ranchero sauce than what we're used to in Texas but in a great way!!! My husband could lick the sauce off the plate. The hash browns were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and needed no additional seasoning because it had the right amount of salt! - chicken club: the chicken was a bit dry, the sourdough bread gave it a depth of flavor and they were not shy with the bacon! The French fries were very greasy as if the oil wasn't hot enough and the potatoes soaked all the grease. My son usually finishes his fries but didn't today. - bean and cheese burrito (kid): not sure where to start with this. I know a bean and cheese burrito can be different anywhere you go especially with different cultures and the area you're getting it from. In Texas, a bean and cheese burrito is refried pinto beans and topped with cheese. The burrito here is basically pinto beans but not smashed. It was whole and while my daughter tried to eat it, she just couldn't because of not only the texture but the flavor. Typically refried bean has flavor from either lard or some fat component and this just tasted like bland pinto beans and there was no cheese to be seen! She couldn't eat but a few bites. - mimosa: now I know some alcohol connoisseurs may appreciate this drink as it had way more of the bubbly champagne then orange juice but whatever the used tasted bitter and not drinkable! I like my mimosa with more orange juice than the bubblies! We couldn't drink it! - eggs Benedict: while I truly appreciate the craft and time it takes to make this dish because I make it home all the time and any chance I get I order this, the execution was not that good. The eggs were poached about 20 seconds too long. It was not runny and didn't have that ooey gooey goodness coming from the center. The spinach could have used a little love (aka seasoning) instead of just putting it there. There wasn't enough hollandaise sauce at all! It needed a lot more! With what I did tasted it needed more lemon! It needed a zing and it fell flat. The hash browns were cooked and flavored perfectly though! This is a super cute place to eat brunch. We were seeing other peoples plates and they all looked so delicious and appetizing! If we are back in the area, we would definitely give this another chance! That chicken and waffle or pancakes looks promising! read more

Very close to a five star. If you catch it during the spring, you're really in luck as you can dine on the patio area if it's not too windy. You can watch the tourist and shoppers walk by. My wife and I shared the eggs ranchero with Christmas sauce. Hold onto your hat because the red chili sauce is the real deal and a little hot. I love the hot so my wife ate the green sauce. Very well seasoned and the cotijo cheese gave it a great blend. The bacon was applewood smoked and a lot of flavor. We also shared a side order single pancake, which was pretty darn good as well and crispy around the edge the way I like it. Café Americano was above average. Yes I would return here. read more

New favorite breakfast spot. I am gluten free, so most of my breakfast options are akin to cardboard. Not this place- I tried both the GF waffles and the huevos rancheros (we went back the next day because it was so good) and both dishes I had there were incredible. It's rare to find a GF waffle, much less a delicious one, and the huevos rancheros were the best I've ever had. I also got a lavender latte with almond milk and that was sooo delicious too. The service was 10/10 both visits. Everyone is friendly, accurate and quick. If you're looking for a breakfast spot that is cozy and delicious, look no further!! read more

Delicious lunch, friendly service, and breezy indoor dining with charming atmosphere.

As early bird risers, we were looking for a place that opens early to get the day started. Came down and were greeted by the friendly cook as we were waiting for a table. Pepper who was our waitress was very welcoming and explained to me the difference of tres leche and spicy Mexican latte. Hubs ordered the huevos rancheros in which he tore into it as soon as Pepper place the plate down. I opted for somwthing lighter which was English muffin and a side of crispy bacon. The place started to get crowded and Pepper made her way stopping to check on us and made sure we were happy campers. read more

The place was a wonderful treat. Great food and service combined with very reasonable prices. We had the Californian (turkey sandwich), salad, and corn chowder. The sandwich was up there as one of the very best I have ever had. The salad was great mixture of greens on lots of other ingredients. This was gourmet in an unassuming place. Note this is a breakfast and lunch spot that closes at two. Great option in Taos. read more

I found this restaurant actually when I was searching through yelp when I was in Taos, New Mexico. We had nachos that tasted like they had chicken with possibly sage on them and puffy chunks of white tortilla, which is a different style than the Mexican food we've had in San Diego at home, but it was delicious and fresh and served hot and fresh on the patio. read more

Food was ok. Waited 20 min before we're even asked if we want coffee, orders were messed up, waitress never checked In with us. Only not putting one star because once we finally got the correct meal, the blue corn waffle was pretty good. Spare yourself the frustration and disappointment, eat somewhere else for breakfast. read more

Great little spot for breakfast and lunch! Bonus is that it carries Sunday brunch into Monday! We found that in the plaza area restaurants, even breakfast eateries opened later than expected. We found ourselves at the Grille as it was open before 9 and we were hungry! Enjoyed a great meal with good coffee. read more

My hotel suggested this place for a nice lunch. It was not too busy so I was able to get a nice table on the patio. My waitress came by right away and got my drink order. When she came back with my soda, I ordered my food. I did the Paseo de Reuben: Corned beef cooked on our griddle with sauerkraut (I held this), buttery cheese, on toasted marble rye with fries. The sandwich was very tasty. Good corned beef flavor. A few pieces were too chewy but overall a nice sandwich. Not too heavily dressed with thousand island dressing. Good fries. Staff was attentive and food was tasty. Not sure why the bad reviews from others. I guess I was there a good day. Every time I walked by the restaurant during my time in Taos, it was busy. read more

Been living in Taos, NM now for two and a half years and been rotating around restaurants. Finally had an opportunity to try Bent Street Grille for the first time. Got in on a Saturday when there weren't too many people (this place tends to get busy). She-Ruben on sourdough with fries. The sandwich was huge, and fries a-plenty. Lots of flavorful meat in the sandwich. Had to take half home in a box. Delicious. He-chicken club with fries. Fries super tasty and again good helping size. The sandwich was a good size an I could not finish it, so in the box and home goes half. Portions are more than great for the value. Atmosphere is nice as this is on the edge of the John Dunn shops near the plaza. Great, attentive service. Will definitely go again. read more

I had a business lunch here with 8 people, with separate checks. The waiter was great and he worked around the flow of conversation. He managed to get all our food out in time and I didn't hear any complaints. I had the avocado toast and they made it vegan by adding vegan egg. Although the bread was not vegan, more effort was put into my meal than I'm used to. The fruit cup was fresh, colorful and ripe. Generous in portions, the meal was exceptional. I'm not sure what everyone had, but each plate made you want to ask if you could have a bite. It was a nice afternoon meal in the plaza on a beautiful fall day. They have great French fries too! read more

Lovely diner for breakfast and the lunch menu looked great as well. They will be starting dinner service in a couple weeks and they have the dinner menu already out, but no dinner yet. We had Lukas as our server two mornings in a row and he was incredibly friendly and helpful. Lots of charm in this little place and we will go back again when we are in Taos. Didn't take pictures of the food, but wish we had. read more

Really good, fresh food, served warm and promptly, alternately friendly and surly waiters, great coffee and very reasonable prices - oh yea, and a super pleasant outdoor patio area - make this a total breakfast winner in my book. Went there two days in a row and did not disappoint. Close to the Taos main plaza and just a very satisfying scrambled eggs, avocado and toast meal overall. Coffee was decent too. Thumbs up! read more
