    Good food, friendly service, and a fun western atmosphere. The portions are generous and filling. A must-stop when visiting Roswell, New Mexico!

    Service was quick and the waitress friendly. Coffee was always kept full with the waitress checking back on us to make sure everything was okay. The food was delicious as expected from the reviews on YELP. We came here also because we go to the cowboy cafe in Carson City, Nevada. I highly recommend this place for excellent food and coffee.

    I've visited Roswell a few times and everybody told me I had to try Cowboy Café. First two visits, the line was way too long so I didn't wait (about a 60 min wait to be seated). On my most recent trip we finally got to go and give it a try. I was pleasantly pleased. The food might be a little overrated, but that's what happens when a place is good -- people hype it up and the bar gets set so high it's hard to hit. Nothing negative to say about the food though, and the servers were wonderful. I had the cheeseburger with fire roasted green chilies and it was really good. Onion rings were definitely homemade and delicious. The restaurant was clean, had a great atmosphere, and a lot of flair to look at while you're there. All in all, I can see why people like this place.

    The food is outstanding and so is the service. It's nice to eat where the locals hangout. Far better to support local than franchise chains.

    Delicious diner food in a cowboy themed restaurant! The coffee was perfect! The huevos rancheros hit the spot! Green chili sauce had heat and made the dish. The also have homemade pies and mugs and sauce to bring home. Great cafe!

    The Cowboy Cafe is located a little ways from the main part of Roswell, but still not too far. It is unique in its astetics. The bar stools have seat cushions that look like part of a saddle. There is a mini stagecoach in front as well. The inside tables are booths. There is plenty of gravel parking with a paved handicap space.  The bathroom is gender neutral with unique memorabilia. The service was fast. The server stopped several times during our meal to check on our wants... outstanding! The menu is decent. The prices are reasonable. I ordered hamburger steak with onions. It came with a small house salad, mashed potatoes, corn, and cornbread. The meal was delicious. They also have cake and pie as well. So, if you come to Roswell to see the aliens, be sure to stop by the Comboy Cafe. You just might enjoy yourself.

    Sometimes ya just was great food, service and good feelings about what you eat and where you find yourself. DO NOT PASS BY HERE IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR breakfast or lunch. We were looking for lunch at 1pm and found this place. I had not read the reviews before we went. Sometimes ya just don't want fancy food, but still want it to be good. The food isn't just good - we had the best lunch in over 2000 miles and 10 days of traveling and eating out. From Estes Park Colorado to Roswell NM- hands up THIS IS THE PLACE. Big breakfasts and good family Style cooking. We had the Hamburger Steak and Onion. And the Chicken Fried Chicken. Both came with mashed potatoes, vegetable of the day, green chili cornbread and side salad. Good stuff! They close at 2 and we arrived at 1. Every bite we were saying how perfect it was after all the foo-foo food we had been eating. We NEEDED this meal to make it back to Texas and home. The staff was superior and the place is cute as it can be. Love it and will stop here again and again.

    This is a cute dive off the main road in Roswell. It's old west decor is fun and unique. The dining room is small and people are willing to wait to eat here. The servers are friendly and attentive. I had the eggs and French toast. The French toast was great made with cinnamon bread. The syrup was hot and delicious! My hubby had the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were very good and the sausage tasted homemade. Very good! My son had the t bone breakfast with grits. He devoured it. Very flavorful. We also bought some of the Black Betty BBQ sauce. It's the best!!! Locally made and delicious.

    Inside the front door.  Pretty cool!

    Stellar Coffee is such a cool spot with an inviting coffeehouse atmosphere. I try and stop here…read moreeach time I'm in Roswell. This time, I was warmly greeted with a smile. With the choice of music playing, and plenty of seating, Icould easily spend a few hours if I wasn't just passing through. The cold brew was flavorful and strong, although unfortunately it wasn't very cold. I also appreciated the excellent service. When I asked if they could make a turkey croissant that wasn't on the menu, they simply said, "No problem!" That kind of flexibility goes a long way. The green chili turkey panini was just okay. The green chili didn't taste particularly fresh, and the yellow mustard wasn't really my thing. For such a cool and unique coffeehouse, I'd love to see the food menu get a little more creative. Overall, a great atmosphere and friendly service make Stellar Coffee worth a stop, especially if you're looking for a comfortable place to hang out with a good cup of coffee.

    A nice spot on the main strip of Roswell for coffee…read more Coffee was good. Lot of selections for the beans to choose from, if you opt for a pour over like me. Was pleased with the coffee Service was ehh. The guy at the front just seemed like he didn't want to be there, which I get it. But that has been my experience here in New Mexico thus far. A lot of non charismatic service, possibly due to too much weed on their time off haha they were pretty behind too, & busy. Lot of orders to fill The ambiance was chill, & hipster. Not much alien stuff going on in there, Interestingly enough. A good spot to hang though!
