    Make-Your-Own omelette & Avocado  toast
    Mannie S.

    I love the outdoor sitting at Giddy Up Cafe on a Fall afternoon. We passed by this little place during lunch time on the road and decided to give it a try - considering a few of our favorite lunch places in town are closed. :( As far a the food goes, the lunch menu was kind of small and not very exciting. Everything tasted as expected, but nothing to be excited about.

    Everything was so good! Came here after a hot springs soak, solid breakfast choice and their changing specials are all amazing. I got some sort of egg casserole and my friend got the French toast, both were so good and the patio seating area is very cute and relaxing. Highly recommend.

    This scratch kitchen is such a charming spot. We stopped in for Saturday brunch. They serve brunch until they run out of food. They make food and dressings from scratch and roast their own coffee beans. Food is delicious and fresh. The people who work there are super friendly. So welcoming and make you feel like family. Highly recommend!

    I love this local shop. There is a nice homegrown, family feel here and the food is very good. Be kind and patient, all the food is made to order so prepare to wait. I recommend using that time to talk to the locals who eat here, learn about the area or just vibe to music playing.

    Dirty Mac with Meatballs
    Stephen L.

    I really wish I could give a higher rating to Giddy Up Cafe because it is a really cute cafe with a nice outdoor patio area, but the Dirty Mac ($14 + $2 for meatballs) was simply too salty for me to even eat. To their credit though, the lady running the cafe was very friendly and offered to make it up to me with a menu item on the house. I got the Baked Oatmeal (normally $9), which they made in only a couple minutes (service was otherwise a bit slow). The oatmeal was pretty good with some fresh fruit and whipped cream on top. I also tried the breakfast burrito ($12), which was tasty, especially the bacon and cheese. It was also a large size, so very good value. They have a small indoor area where you order up front and then a cute outdoor courtyard area with some artistic decor and several tables for seating. Overall, if it weren't for that salty Dirty Mac, I would easily be giving at least 4 stars - feel free to try out your luck here and you very well might love your experience!

    Hard to find out when this place is open. Three small tables inside and an open door to an enclosed patio with more tables. No potatoes for brunch. No iced tea. Plasticware only. Good pancakes, good eggs, good toast, fatty thick cut bacon. Server a bit...

    Well. It ain't true - they closed at 1pm since most of items were sold out ;I got the last B&G hahaha Chilaquiles was good eats as well

    On my way to go to ABQ, I saw the sign - T-O-C ; Truth or Consequences! WTH? Can't miss the opportunity to explore the new places ! I wanted to try where the locals would go for Sunday Brunch - as soon as I stepped into the city, that's what I craved for I ran into a group of the local musicians who were preparing the busking; they all recommended "Giddy Up Cafe" - it sure does show "good ole time in T-O-C in 1900's I wanted to try out as many items to taste but lots of items were sold out already; did I give up? Hell No! I asked what would be available so I ordered two items-Biscuit & Gravy and Chilaquiles Food 4.5 Service 5 Ambiance 5.5(it fits in my style) Overall 5

    This place has an indoor and out door area for eating. It has a very chill vibe and is dog friendly. The service is friendly but can take a minute. This is because they are making every single meal from scratch. I got their special tonight which was chicken and came with an amazing salad and soup. I finished with a pear and goat cheese tart. I highly recommend the specials here and their dessert. Also I got a soda here that is made in NM. Tasted very fresh. I would totally recommend trying this place out if your in town.

    Giddy Up Cafe is a gem in T or C. It's nestled right next door to Fire Water Lodge on Broadway. My husband and I were walking around town on Saturday, January 1st and Giddy Up was closed, however, as we stood out front checking out the place a nice person came to chat! She told us to come back the next day and what a good cook the owner was. We were excited for a new place to try since we'd had breakfast at the same restaurant the past two days. Giddy Up is only open on Sunday's and Monday's at this time. We arrived around 9:40am on January 2nd and they have the patio open to sit. Yes, it was a brisk morning but they have heaters and blankets and even an electric blanket on a bench. I gravitated to the sunshine after grabbing some house roasted coffee. YUM!! When you enter the building there are local New Mexico products and gifts like Bee Chama Honey and face products, sauces from Santa Fe, ceramics from Hillsboro, NM, handmade soaps and other treasures. The menu is small but had great options. My husband ordered the green chili biscuit and gravy. These are homemade biscuits people! Amazing! Super tasty gravy too! I ordered a 3 egg omelet with bacon, spinach, mushrooms and Parmesan cheese. OMG! I know I know it's eggs but boy can Rooster cook. This little establishment is owned by Rooster Blackspur, who is one heck of a cook and super charming and is a fabulous country singer. Her group, formerly know as Moody Little Sister, won the 2020 country album in New Mexico. It's amazing! I bought the CD at the cafe and listened on the way home to Albuquerque. Rooster does live shows at Giddy Up too and we will be coming back to hear her live. Come for friendly folks, local finds, amazing and lovingly prepared food and maybe, if you're lucky, you will hear Rooster sing.

    A weekend special: Banh Mi, sesame ginger noodles and gazpacho. Just perfect on a 100 degree evening.

    This place is a gem in our little town. The food is creative and all homemade. They are open through the weekend and Monday mornings. Check out the weekend dinner special (avail Fri and Sat evenings). Whatever it is, it will be delicious. They always have options if you have dietary restrictions (veg, vegan, gf, etc). They have a nice little shaded patio to enjoy your meal. And the coffee is strong!

    Rooster Blackspur's Green Chili Biscuits and Gravy! Only served on Sunday until supplies run out!! Get there early!

    We love EVERYTHING about this place! Amazing farm to table food. The new owners (in the last three months) Sarah and Anthony (used to be owned by the amazing musician, Rooster Blackspur) are wonderful. The special recipes that change regularly are created by Sarah and are AMAZING! Her duck lasagna was one of the best dishes that my husband and I ever had, EVER. The green chili biscuits and gravy (a recipe that won awards in Alaska by Rooster Blackspur) is out of this world good! Everything we have tried on the menu has blown us away. The outdoor courtyard is so sweet with fun, upbeat, music. It is impossible to be in a bad mood when you are here. We are traveling the country in our RV and have had the honor to spend the last month in T or C and to meet the wonderful people here. And this place... one of our favorite restaurants we have EVER dined at. This is a place we will miss when we move on our journeys and we will look forward to returning to. Even our Goldendoodle, Freyja will miss this place since the owner/chef Sarah makes her delicious meals as well. Thank you Sarah and Anthony for offering such a lovely experience for us to enjoy.

    Have loved this restaurant in the past and have gone each time we visited this town. At one point they served dinner but now only brunch. We were lined up with others when they opened at 10am and invited to sit in their outdoor courtyard but that food wouldn't be ready for another 20 minutes. Then others lined up to order and without any instruction we realized we now had to join a big line even though we were there early. A few unhappy customers left. The food was good though the delicious looking avocado was hard, tasteless and not at all ripe. The people are kind and food is creative. Be careful if you're under the trumpet vine as little ants were falling on us.

Just cuz they got a corner on the Hillsboro nosh market don't mean they ain't putting their best foot forward! The breakfast menu (served until 10:45, if I recall correctly, to enable efficient transition to lunch), was plenty varied with more than a few options I really wanted to try. Middle-aged sedentary lifestyle affording what it does, I only ordered one thing, the pile up..., but I shared it with my friend who shared her short stack of waffles. Pile ups will be pile ups... the mark of superlative being squarely on the chile. And let me tell you, red to green, they mastered both. So, so good! (Man, why did I have to share that??) I'm also delighted to say that the waffles were of my preferred thin and crispy variety rather than the Belgium sort. They were roughly the size of an Eggo, in fact nearly visually identical, but definitely not a freezer-box flavor. Hard not to enjoy a waffle, admittedly; they fit the bill perfectly for sweet breakie dessert. And the prices were exactly what they should be, indicative of craft quality but not of craft pretentiousness. The staff were so so lovely, and the locals prone to chat with out-of-towners. Hillsboro seems like a tight-knit community of folks enjoying small town western retirement... positively charming. There's even a winery a couple blocks away. But if you're planning to check the town out, definitely come on a Saturday morning so you can sit in on the Pickers' bluegrass jam session. And DEFINITELY come early enough to have breakfast at the general store and cafe. Then stay for lunch!

The chicken fried steak was very good with white gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans and a toasted biscuit. I always toast my biscuits at home, but this was the first time a restaurant toasted my biscuit and it was great. Service was prompt and coffee refills were provided when needed. I've decided this is my go-to restaurant for comfort food. Since my first visit to Rustic Cafe a month ago, I have eaten there three more times. I tried the hamburger steak with grilled onions and mushrooms on my second visit. It was very good too, but the mashed potatoes and mac & cheese sides were only Lukewarm. I guess I could have sent them back, but the steak and brown gravy was hot enough. The mac and cheese was nothing to get excited about. On my next visit I tried the BLT on Texas toast. It seemed a bit small for the $8.99 price and the mayo tasted a little weird to me (I only use Best Foods mayo at home.) It did include plenty of thin crisp bacon, but I had trouble biting through the tomato slices since my top and bottom front teeth don't quite touch. On my last visit, I had the Rustic Cheeseburger (medium) with onion rings as a side. The 1/3 lb. burger was very good, and I thought the quantity and quality of the onion rings was excellent. Only after I got home and looked at my receipt did I realize that I'd been charged a separate $1.49 for onion rings that were supposed to be included as side with the burger. I didn't really mind the extra charge since they had given me so many onion rings and they were the best I've eaten in many years. On one visit, the waitress gave me a 10% senior discount that I've not received on any other visit, so I don't know if this is a policy or just at the discretion of the wait staff. I know others have complained about slow service, but I'm retired and always bring my crossword puzzles with me to work on while I'm waiting, so I've not really noticed if the service is slow. Rustic Cafe is not advertised as a "fast food" joint, so I am happy with the speed of the service. My servers have always been pleasant and accommodating to any of my requests. Breakfast was always my favorite meal, and I'm pleased to find a place that offers breakfast all day. That'll have to be my next visit though.

All three of the items on that section of the menu are served with a salad, and are under the same name as some of the other sandwiches that they offer. My mom had ordered the southwest turkey, off the low carb menu, thinking that it would just come with a side salad, so she also ordered some of the soup of the day. Apparently she pointed to the low carb section on the menu while ordering, but didn't say it out loud. Idk, she probably messed up by not saying it. Anyways, when the waitress brought out the southwest turkey Sandwich, and not the low carb meal, mom realized that she'd accidentally ordered the wrong thing. Instead of saying "I didn't realize that you meant the low carb, I'm sorry," our waitress said "well that's not what you told me" and walked away to get our ticket. Then, she proceeded to say that it's not her job to ask if people wanted the low carb option or not, and that my mom should have told her in the first place. Only after realizing that she got a $2 tip, she finally said sorry and then began starting an ARGUMENT with my mother, who is a former waitress herself. In the end after my mom said have a great day, the waitress made a sarcastic comment about how great her day was going and we left. The food was good, aside from the overcooked burger that my dad had. But our waitress was incredibly rude, which is surprising for a little town like Datil. We probably won't be back after that experience. Maybe she was not having a great day, but that's no way to treat returning customers.
