    So much delicious food!
    Judi D.

    I have really grown to like this place It's very much a local favorite. Reliably good food. Almost always busy but usually not packed to the gills. Food is good New Mexican Servers are awesome. Last week we had Amanda and Kyle and they took great care of us It's a relaxed homey setting. Clean, comfortable. Clearly families come here regularly And so do many police (so behave! )

    Usually Grandpa's Grill is good, I ordered the BBQ ribs special, the baked potato was gross, ribs sucked

    Crappy food, lower prices and be honest about quality of food, waiters need better customer service skills

    Grandpas menu. So many great options.

    I have been in the area for over a week now and I have eaten here twice. My niece brought me here and I have to say it's really a great place. First visit I had the bbq ribs with a baked potato and it came with a side of what looked like an attempt at refried beans with a squirt of bbq sauce in it. It was pretty good. Today we went in because their burgers look amazing. As you walk in they're cooking everything right there to your left as you go in. You order your food off the menu before you sit down and they bring it to you. As well as your drink order. One problem right of the bat is the plexiglass they have in front of the person talking your order. Preventing them from hearing anything. They're struggling to hear what people are saying. Today I ordered onion rings with my burger and I got French fries instead. The guy just didn't hear what I said. Luckily I didn't get charged for it. I ordered the Papa Burger with pepper jack cheese and bacon. That was one hell of a burger. The fixins are on a cart as you go to your seat. Where you can add what you want to your burger. The only gripe I think I can say about this place is that you have to ask for napkins. Both times I've been in I've had to ask. As well as silverware. But the staff is very friendly and helpful. So it's not a deal breaker. I wish I lived closer because I would eat here a few times a week. I'd love to try their breakfast. But overall this place is pretty awesome. Definitely worth a try.

    Chicken and Beef Combo Fajitas
    L T.

    After seeing good reviews and decent pics from this place, I thought I was safe to go to Grandpa's. It's really mediocre. The staff is inexperienced in serving. The sandwiches won't fill you up. The dinner dishes are ok. The BLT we ordered had burnt toast, very little bacon and no mayo. Completely unimpressive, the waitress asked if we wanted new toast and walked off without the sandwich. She just brought back some toast for us to fix the sandwich ourselves. The fajitas were only ok. I'll give it one more chance on Tuesday for Taco Tuesdays. I was hoping for better food.

    Double cheeseburger.
    Walt C.

    The burger I ordered was the double bacon avocado cheeseburger, burgers are small in comparison to the buns, dry and a bit rubbery, paper thin bacon strips (kinda reminded me of the Costco pre cooked microwaveable bacon) and no avocado. Chili cheese fries weren't bad. Missing heat from the chili but at least they had a sauce. Definitely friendly service. Wait staff were very polite and checked in on us throughout the meal. Nice spot as far as interior design. Almost an old timey feel.

    Western burger.
    Jeff K.

    Traveled to Gallup for work. Ended up stopping here because of the other positive reviews. Friendly and very attentive staff. It was cool watching them make my burger fresh. All the toppings in the lil condiment bar were fresh and consistently chopped. Now for my burger. It was cooked perfect and held together really well. I ordered the western burger. I only ate half of it and had the resr for dinner later. Great bang for your buck and service with a smile. Who doesn't like that?

I had a cheese enchilada, refried beans & rice. Had a side of chips & salsa. Husband had Jerry's open-faced burger with red and green chili. Both meals came with sopapillas. Everything was fabulous! Such a great way to get what felt like a true picture of Gallup, NM.

Saw a guy eating a sopapilla outside said it was good and there were several people outside waiting so we were like ok it's gonna be good. Ordered the Sopapilia covered in red sauce because it was a popular choice. Sadly, I was disappointed. I think it would have been good by itself no sauce. Just a sopapilla by itself. In sauce was too much. The red sauce did not taste homemade. If it is I'm sorry but it just wasn't my cup of tea. The kids drummettes were fried and tasty. Other than that it was just another diner. We did meet others who said they frequent but knowing true Mexican food, it's a no go for me. Service was ok. Ambiance Diner feel. We met a guy who said there was a cafe town the road that he preferred I don't remember the name but at least I know I'm not the only one who did not enjoy it. He was also from Cali so there you go. Sorry to disappoint. Good luck finding good eats. SYOY

They only got a one star because I had to leave a star to post a review which is crap and I'm traveling from Arkansas to Las Vegas and I needed something nutritious and tasty and I got frozen pizza dough.
