Iron Skillet - Pastas bowl salmon - Tex-Mex Near Me - Milan, New Mexico

The worst place I've ever seen. First, no one cares about you, the staff will go around smiling at each other and talking, while you wait like a dog for 30 minutes for someone to approach you. Second, my order wasn't ready after 25 minutes, and they told me we only have one person in the kitchen. Are you crazy? Why do you have a restaurant with more than 20 tables if you can't provide timely food and quick service? Close the restaurant. Thanks for leaving me hungry and making me late for my meeting. And lost 23$ read more

The staff are rude and prejudice. The manager is rude and condescending, he is disrespectful to guests. The food isn't what it used to be. The food quality and portions are subpar. Save your money and eat elsewhere. read more

Ordered turkey dinner for $16.99. The most horrible meal. Instead of real turkey it was processed thin lunch meat that was fried. The brown gravy was dark and had consistency of wallpaper paste. Absolutely disgusting. read more

Had a taste for pancakes and coffee. It was crazy busy due to Mother's Day. Honestly, I was not expecting there to be a lot of people at a truck stop restaurant, but sheesh, I was wrong. It was all good though I had time to kill, I was not in a big hurry, and it was nice seeing families come together celebrating the mommy's. To eat, I had the veggie egg white omelet, 1 pancake & coffee. Everything was pretty good. I just had to season to taste, and it hit the spot. I would stop by again when passing through. read more

Slow service and not busy but it took forever to get service. One waitress is the reason flor slow service. It's a typical truck stop and it's menu items. read more

Iron Skillet - Dining room - Tex-Mex Near Me - Milan, New Mexico

I ordered the chicken tenders, fries and salad. My husband ordered chicken fried pork chops, loaded hash browns and mashed potatoes. They bring our food out, and not my fries. I mention that I ordered fries and the waitress said "no you didn't. But I can get you some" I told her no I ordered fries. My husband agreed with me. She again says no you didn't but I can get you some. She brings them out less than 2 minutes later. The fries were cold, and the chicken was dry. My husbands loaded hash browns were hash browns barely cooked laying on top of a pile of green peppers, onions and grease. The mashed potatoes were still partially flakes. And the pork chop was so covered in grease my husband is now nauseous. Mind you in all of this we expected some grease on the plate, a lot of his stuff was fried. However there should not be enough that it is able to pool on the side of the plate. Aside from all of this, the place was packed and they had a lot of tables that were closed for one reason or another. So yea just paid $35 for a meal neither of us could eat. By far the worst experience I've ever had at an iron skillet and my husband has been served a blue steak before. read more

Been here for 10 minutes and all I've got is coffee,not one server has acknowledged me. and.its not busy at all. Been looked at a few times and then ignored. Maybe its time to stop comming here.. read more

Coffee was horrible. Regular coffee tasted like old instant decaf. The entire place filled with smoke because something was burning in the kitchen. Probably our breakfast. We couldn't breath and left. read more

We ordered one order of the grilled pork chops and one fried and they were both way too salty and tasted old like they had been in a freezer for some time. Not freezer burnt, but just not good. Will not be going back and I don't recommend it. read more

We're on a 3 wk road trip and try to stop at the small business, but that diner was closed. So we stopped at the Iron Skillet and had a surprisingly delicious meal. Since Covid, all the restaurants are struggling with staffing and food supply issues, but the servers at the Iron Skillet did a fantastic job of getting everyone served. And the bonus of a very tasty breakfast made the day even bettet read more

I wanted to make sure I wrote this because I didn't finish my eggs (only because my eyes were bigger than my stomach lol) but the food was great, portion was excellent, and it was just the spot we needed at this point on our road trip! Great service, will remember this as a good place to stop if we go in this direction again! read more

My friend and I stopped here for a bathroom break and to get gas and decided to grab a bite here. Pleasantly surprised to have an awesome meal! We had the country fried steak, elk burger, and the cinnamon roll French toast - SOOOO GOOD. Service was good, food was great, bathrooms clean, prices good. Glad we stopped here! read more

I only went in here because WOW! Diner is closed on Mondays. I would have been better off eating a gas station hot dog, or staying hungry. They have an all-you-can-eat buffet, but after one look at it, there was no way i was eating from it. So, I ordered a burger and fries; a safe bet I assumed. The burger was obviously frozen and from a box. It had no flavor and wasn't even cooked properly. The moment it was placed in front of me I knew it was going to be bad, and it was. I took a few bites and discarded the rest. As bad as the burger was, it was leaps and bounds above the fries, which were soggy and unsalted. I ate one and that was it. So, I left lunch almost as hungry as i came. The place was clean, though old, and my waitress was nice. read more

The shark tenders and shrimp were good. Salad bar had really fresh selection and soups taste great. My sons said the burger steak and chicken tenders were good too. All at a reasonable price! read more

We were quickly served by Delayna. She was kind and answered my questions with a great smile. Everything was cooked as per our requests. The meal included a trip to the soup and salad bar ( everything was fresh. Honestly the steaks and salmon tasted better than I have had at expensive steak houses. The price for everything we ordered was half of what we would have paid elsewhere. This is a truck stop in New Mexico and was decorated as you would expect. Great service great food. read more

Great staff but the food , stay far away from this place, I just ate here because for some weird reason one of my kids thought it was a good idea, no one ate the food read more

All I can say is go down the side street another 800 feet to the WOW Diner and get a decent meal with great service. Sat at this place waiting to be served along with two other tables while the help chatted. Food was not good when we finally got service and took forever. Had to walk out to get a bill. Won't be back. read more

Stopped for breakfast on our way through New Mexico. Clean, quick, good service and good food. Didn't eat at the buffet but it looked well kept and good. read more

I love to go there for the buffet. Its all you can eat. I liadup on the salads a lot. They always have fresh fruit. They have different good foods on the buffet. The menu items are very good also. Big plates. read more

Braved the lunch buffett. Don't do it. John S above nailed it. I can only add the staff does a great job.

They had a really good looking breakfast buffet, but when we sat down, there was a dog sitting in a lady's lap at the table right next to ours. A dog in a buffet restaurant? We weren't willing to find out what other health code violations they might have been overlooking by actually eating there, so we left. We would have told someone, but there was no manager that we could find. I love dogs but I don't want to share a breakfast buffet with one of them. read more

Just stopped in for breakfast and I've got to say....everything was great!! These people know how to make eggs over medium too. Bacon was perfectly cooked. Service was great. Employees were friendly. Would definitely recommend stopping here for a good ol' home cooked breakfast. Our party of 3 were very pleased. read more

Nothing majorly harsh. Servers did job well. Turkey rueben was good. Dad had steak tips and maybe one bite was ick, it happens. Ordering from the menu over choosing the buffet might be wise. Blackberry cobbler dessert good, tasted sorta like jam or one of those entemen (sp?) Danishes of old. read more

My husband and I ate here Sunday and We wanted to have the breakfast buffet and the waitress said it stops at 11 o'clock so we ordered something else. The breakfast buffet was going by the time we finished eating, the waitress was a big liar. Not satisfied Customers read more

Traveling through,stopped for gas and ate at the breakfast buffet. The variety was great and the fresh omelet was awesome! Darian did a great job. All the items were fresh and hot. The wait staff was friendly and quick. read more

Well i have different ways to look at this place. we have a tradition of stopping here every year we come down to this area honestly the food here is not great. last time we came up the hamburgers were really dry and disgusting. people were in there stealing silverware and other people in my party got food poisoning .I don't know what keeps me comin back to this place. the restaurant has got some OK food , I got a chicken fried steak and it was OK .some of the steaks are somewhat OK and their hamburgers are also OK .The buffet is sometimes really gross the people who eat here are usually quite strange and steal food and silverware. I mean if you're a trucker this is probably a good place to stop real quick for "food" and a sink shower. there are other restaurants in the area so if you're looking for a really nice place, just go eat somewhere else. however if you just want to go to a place where you could kind of be yourself if you're not very fancy person or want to act strange, go eat the all you can eat low-quality buffet. I just recommend because it is so strange. this place and their store that they have here is OK. they have a couple things that are really worthwhile if your a trucker. If you need supply's or replacement parts they have it. they also have really discusting hotdogs at the gas station store. but I was here today they had low quality tamales in boiling water . The water overflowed onto the floor. There was also a coffee dispenser that was dispensing coffee onto the floor. some truckers decide to go to the bathroom and brush their teeth they also tend to shower in the sink. I know I'm making this out to be really Bad, but it's not that bad if you're willing to put up with some of it . I had to use the bathroom but we were here and all the sea covers were In the toilet. The toilet also had diarrhea it was a little annoying honestly. if you're up for the challenge I'd stop here. I don't know how the management really handles their team, and this place could be better but it could definitely be a lot worse. if you're looking for some quality places there's a Denny's up the freeway and there's some other local restaurants nearby so I'd suggest stopping there if you're really looking for something nice. but it's more of an experience that a restaurant . you'll never see anything else like it read more
