The man in the trailer, he was super nice and full of smiles. The Latte my wife got she said was really good. The tea I had was good, it was actually a straight black tea and not some odd floral tea mix. I was glad to taste that. Prices are bit steeper than the building locations, but this supports a local business and I'm always good with paying extra to help the small local businesses. Great place, check it out.

They have kolaches and breakfast sandwiches that are sure to keep hunger at bay. They also have ice cream. The Strawberry Italian Cream Soda my daughter had was delicious and age loved the natural strawberry flavor. I had the John Wayne and although it was a small size and came iced, it was very good. I love the coffee they use, very smooth with great flavor. The Kolaches were warm and delicious. As a local, I definitely found my go-to coffee spot.

It's delicious and it's beautiful to look at! Some of their cupcakes also have glitter on them and they look magical! If you're looking for a quick drink or sweet treat while you check out the town, this is a good place to find just that.

We came in around lunch time on a Monday, they had some pastries but they didn't have a lot. The apple cinnamon roll (looked like a really a really large bear claw) was really good with a good portion of apples on the inside and lots of yummy cinnamon on the outside. The pastry was flaky and crisp on the outside and edges and soft and airy inside. We also go the last chocolate croissant, it was really big, drizzled in chocolate striping, and a good bit of chocolate on the inside. Really good and flaky. Staff was ok. Cordial, but helpful. Pastries were good enough I'd stop her again.

We came on a busy night and we had to wait for 20-30 minutes. During that time I hung up by the fire outside and met some great people. Seems like people come back here every year, cloudcroft is a destination where families meet up during the holidays. Not a great place if you're planning on having a couple beers and driving back to town, it's on a twisted mountain road. The workers are all local, they can definitely give some good advice on nearby activities like hiking and where to get a great view of the sunrise.

We were visiting family in the area and decided to go here again. This time was a DISASTER of an…read moreexperience. The pizzas are still good. We had Coreys Fav and the Sweet and Spicy, both were really great. Flavors are good and the crust is nice. Seating wasn't bad, weather was great for a late June day, the large doors were open in the seating area, a nice breeze blowing. ... some really nice ambience. Where this goes horribly south is the LARGE automatic gratuity that they decided to impose on us because we had 7 adults and 1 infant at the same table, even tho we came in 3 separate groups and paid as 3 separate groups. 20% they wanted to charge us, not the state define 15%. Both of which I think is both unethical and not right in any way, as a gratuity is supposed to be based on the level of service received and not as an automatic supplement because the business doesn't want to pay the employees adequate wages. The service we received WAS NOT worth anywhere near even the 15% the state recommends. The server takes the order, and delivers the order, the same as any fast food chain. We had to get our own water and drinks. They don't stop to ask if we want anything else, refills, more cider/beer, desert, NOTHING! Yet they want to auto bill a gratuity of 20% for services that are NOT rendered. We did talk to the server, and he said that's how it was and there was nothing he could do. So we asked for the manager. She finally came and said she could remove it but it would take a while. However, all she did was provide a discount to lower the price to "compensate" for the gratuity, which wasn't a total discount, as it was still 88 cents more than the original bill, AND the auto gratuity was still in the bill! Ok, guess who didn't get any extra tips. So this server got his normal hourly rate, we were there roughly an hour, as well as an additional $30 + in auto gratuity to simply take an order and have someone else deliver it, he did absolutely nothing else for us to earn that level of gratuity. Keep in mind, we were NOT a group of 8 as the small print on the menu states. This was very aggravating and very unprofessional.

Location in a small town on the outskirts…read more It's a little hidden gem. Usually busy as I drive by it when in Cloudcroft from Round Rock Texas. I first visited in 2021 during the height of Covid when all restaurants were struggling trying to figure out how to survive. Mind you, it's cold up in higher elevations of the mountains. Tent's and tables were placed outside on limited parking lot. Rather than cook, I told the BF, we have to eat out and help support the community. Not a-lot to choose from in a small town either and I'd been eyeing Big Daddy's for some time. It was a no brainier when I saw the tents, where I was going. It was a little chilly, but darn it, they were trying to survive so I could suck it up. Ordered chicken fried chicken and it was great. Nice and crisp. Fast forward to 2024 and visiting the town i told myself. Been in town several other times and i have yet to see the inside of Big Daddy's so this is where we are going since the White Sands balloon fest was canceled. No eating down in Alamogordo going back up the mtn. to support the the town. Not sure what I was expecting but it was both table & booth, seat yourself with another side section where you can bring your pup. Staff are very nice and willing to accommodate. Don't see that in the big city! Went bold and ordered enchiladas, daughter ordered breakfast (after brkfst hrs), son ordered fried chicken sandwich and BF ordered huevos rancheros. ALL looked & tasted yummy and cook was nice in allowing us to order pancakes still. Even asked if we wanted bacon!!! YES PLEASE! (And bigger tip is in order) Wasn't sure on my enchiladas but I was pleasantly surprised but only ate a little. (Practicing portion control :/). Others scarfed food down:) oh the enchiladas were not going to waste. These babies are traveling with me, as I text, back to Austin Tx. Long story long... go eat there. Their food is as good as big city food but small town feel Big Daddy's, we will be back. You can count on that! Thks for a wonderful experience. Oh we were so excited that the cook allowed the breakfast order. I totally forgot to take my customary pics
