The Junction Brunch House

If you're looking for a brunch spot in El Paso that brings together great food, genuine…read morehospitality, and live music--The Junction Brunch House is a standout. I kept it classic with waffles, bacon, and eggs--and it absolutely hit the mark. The waffles were light, fluffy, and perfectly golden, the bacon was cooked just right, and everything came out fresh and satisfying. Simple comfort food done right. But what really elevated the experience was the atmosphere. They had live musical entertainment by Louie, who was incredible. He played a mix of hits from yesterday and today, moving effortlessly between country & western, contemporary favorites, and traditional Spanish songs. His versatility created a warm, lively environment that both staff and customers clearly enjoyed--it added something special you don't find everywhere. Service was just as impressive. Our server, XAY, had a bright, welcoming smile and provided outstanding service from start to finish. They offered great suggestions on local favorites and specials, which made the experience feel personal rather than routine. The vibe overall is relaxed, inviting, and very "El Paso"--a place where you can sit, enjoy your meal, and stay a while. Overall: Delicious, well-executed brunch classics Live music that enhances the experience (not overwhelms it) Exceptional, friendly service Comfortable, welcoming atmosphere Would I go back? Without a doubt. This is more than just brunch--it's an experience.

I arrived just after 8:30 am, but there was plenty of room. I got seated at the bar, and got to see everything. I asked for coffee, and it came quick and hot. Then i took a look at the menu, but the nice thing about the bar is that you can see everything that was ordered get prepped. I ordered a pozole rojo. It was a good choice, according to me... it was a lot of food. It came with a slice of toasted and buttered bolillo bread. It was loaded with more pork, than hominy - a lot. The server came by to ask if I needed a box. The Junction is a diner, with a railroad ambiance. Plenty of train station themes, I think there were a lot of clocks on the wall - but I don't think that they were working... or that they were on time. I noticed a couple of plates that I would want to try... the chicken fried steak, the biscuits and gravy with fried eggs on top, peach cobber side, the fresh biscuit with chipotle butter. It all looked good. The breakfast tacos seemed basic, but a lot of folks ordered them - they must know. There is seating inside, table and bar, and outside under the shade. I saw enough that I would return with Liz (...and the kids). I recommend, but I do recommend getting there early. It's a popular locale.

If the point if a DIP sandwich is the AuJus, you should announce you are out AT THE TIME THE ITEM IS ORDERED!!

The food, especially the double cheeseburger, has always been something I looked forward to. Unfortunately, over the years, both the food quality and the customer service have steadily gone downhill. Today's visit was the final straw. I ordered a double cheeseburger, but instead I was handed a single cheeseburger and told they could give me the second patty later. If I ordered a double cheeseburger, then that's what I expect to receive. I'd much rather wait a few extra minutes for my full order than be given half of it. On top of that, I had to ask for condiments and silverware multiple times. Forgetting once is understandable, but having to remind the staff three times is frustrating and shouldn't happen. I left still hungry because I never got what I actually ordered, and I left disappointed with the overall service. It genuinely saddens me because this restaurant has been a part of my life for years. I really hope management turns things around, because this place used to be great. As of now, I don't plan on coming back anytime soon.

The wings are so big, these aren't your usual run of the mill frozen wings fried to order, the breading flavorful, the wings were fried hot and deliciously. I had to wait for my food to cool down to eat it, and that's saying something. We had fries with queso (and I don't recommend that, the queso was so plain and became hard quickly, but the fries were good). We tried traditional hot buffalo and the double dip sauce or something like that. It was a sweet and spicy mix that was so good and a house favorite. I definitely recommend giving them both a try. We ordered 20 wings and came home with 8. The food was filling and it wasn't much more than any other mid priced establishment. The restaurant is inside multiple train cars what are lined up parallel to each other. You can look out of the windows and see another train car of guests enjoying delicious food. The menu was very diverse with burgers, steaks, salads, nachos and of course wings. The table next to us ordered the Philly nachos and the smell of the steak, cheese and pepper combination filled the car. The only down side to being in a train car was the noise definitely echos. If you are next to screaming babies or a loud table of tipsy women your ears will be ringing a bit, but I'd say it's still worth it and maybe just part of the experience. Another downside is no garlic wings, oh man I wish they had that on the menu because I'm sure they'd be amazing. Regardless, this is an awesome stop and one we plan to bring family to. The food is tops, the service was great and the atmosphere was pretty cool too. I've included a picture of some leftovers, these wings are even good the day after and they are so big.

We ordered the egg drop soup (one bowl is enough for 2 people), the shrimp and green beans and the sweet and sour chicken, with fried rice and steamed rice, respectively. The egg drop soup was delicious. We've not been able to find a place that serves egg drop soup that is flavorful, not salty and with visible cooked egg until now. Absolutely delicious. The green beans and shrimp were cooked to perfection and the sweet and sour chicken came with the sauce on the side, which kept the chicken crispy. Food was great, would eat here again. Down side? Bathroom smelled foul. I want to advise the owners to take a good look at their ventilation system, as the smell was just gross.
