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...

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.

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

3 egg omelet with bacon, mushrooms, spinach and Parmesan cheese. Little romaine on the side with some fresh fruit and quinoa salad.

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.

I've been back in town visiting family and I have had three meals and a lunch here. The pork loin…read morewas amazing. I was here for their Super Bowl party and the buffet was great. Last summer under the new management I also had the Ahi Tuna (yes, in the desert) and it was fabulous. Salads I've had were wonderful and today I had a quick bowl of chili. The chili was a good temperature. Not too hot, it wasn't nuked. The seasoning is great and thick, the way chili should be. I've spent time on the deck, in the dining room and in the tap room. The service has been excellent. The staff is pleasant, attentive and know the menu as well as their jobs. The decor is continuing to be updated and there are new tables, new paint and new decor. I really hope the word get out about this great dining, snacking, golfing experience. I'll follow up again this coming summer. I can't wait to see you again.

It's wonderful to see dining of this caliber available in Elephant Butte. We stopped by the Club…read moreRestaurant at Turtleback after seeing the menu online, and we enjoyed a wonderful meal there, from the veg portabella to the pork dish, and the chile-topped cheesecake was tasty as well. Service was a little unenthusiastic, but overall it's a lovely setting, with a patio terrace overlooking the golf course and showing off the gorgeous mountain views (and you don't have to be a club member to enjoy dining there).

Excellent. I'd give it 4.5 stars but don't have that option…read more The green chili chicken enchiladas were really good. My one suggestion, the green chili sauce could be a bit thicker and spicier with more green chili, I mean T or C is what 30 or so north of Hatch? I got mine with diced onions, next time without definitely. The beans and rice were excellent as well. Small, busy location so it's a bit noisy to have a conversation. The staffing was excellent. The owner is a gem. She even pulled/sold me an apron off the wall i admired. T or C is fortunate to have such an excellent restaurant.

If you're looking for outdoor seating because you're traveling with a dog, don't stop here. I have…read morenever heard so many bizarre reasons as to why a dog cannot even be on the premises; first one was because of a "code," second one was because there is a bad dog next door that might hurt or kill my dog and the third one was their liability insurance. Not sure if I believed any of those reasons but I ordered food to go because of the Yelp. After looking into the New Mexico restaurant liability insurance explanation, I now know that this place just flat out doesn't like dogs anywhere. I feel like "dog friendly" should be another option on Yelp since so many people now travel with their pets. I should have left because it was very hot and windy and the owners were extremely rude but, against my husbands wishes, I ordered to go based on the food reviews and also based on nostalgia (because the location was the exact location for great Mexican food in the 1980's. Now to the food: I ordered the large combo. It was good but not the best New Mexico Mexican food. The cheese enchiladas were okay. The taco was not crispy, probably because it was squeezed into a styrofoam container, and was made with hamburger meat. I was hoping for shredded beef. Oh well. The chile relleno was good, not the best. Overall, the food was good but I've had better. The green chile sauce was better than good. I honestly think that if we had been allowed to dine outdoors on the premises, the food would have been served on a bigger plate and I would have been able to distinguish what I was eating better. Would I eat here again...that's a big fat nope. Nor would they want me to, probably. The owner(s) were rude. The food was mediocre at best. I loved raising my girls and living in T or C back in the 80's, but I will never stop there again to eat because the people at Tony's.
