We always have great food and a great experience at Johnny B's. Everything we have ever ordered there is amazing and the service is always superb. read more

Food was good & reasonable, but service was definitely lacking. We were sitting for a long time while those around us got coffee & menus. Seemed like a lot of locals, but gee. Never got the ketchup I requested either so I just left my hashbrowns and no one seemed to notice. Tried the lil Pie Shop downtown & it was much friendlier. read more

I'm from Albuquerque and looking for a good breakfast in my stay here. Loved the omelet and French toast. But what made the experience even better was our waitress Blanca. Really good customer service read more

Best place in town and nearby towns! Food was good, service was great! Good variety of choices.

This place was wonderful: the quality of food, the large portions, and the excellent service. Will definitely come back.

You should seerve breakfast all day you close at 2....and your a diner!!!...you get here at 10:50 wait 10 minutes to get seated you should honor the fact that we wanted breakfast!!! Rude place...... read more

This place is kind of out in the middle of nowhere, but we decided to give it a shot as the reviews were good, and when traveling cross country we try not to hit up too many fast food joints. The menu was pretty extensive, the wife had liver and onions (she just ain't quite right in the head but I still love her) which she said was not bad. I had a better than average tuna melt. The fries were nothing special but that's okay. I would give this place more stars but for the people. No masks. No social distancing. Random strangers/locals standing over your table as they talk to their friends a few tables over, or flirt with the waitresses. It just did not give my Covid era emotions the warm fuzzies. read more

Based on our lunch at Johnny B's this weekend, I think this cafe is sorely over-rated. We ordered their 'famous' green chile patty melt sandwich with sweet potato fries, and the chicken breast sandwich. The chicken breast sandwich was simply a broiled breast on a plain hamburger bun. No dressing or sauce, no lettuce or relish: nothing. My patty melt was heavy on the processed cheese but the signature green chile was hard to find. The sweet potato fries were cold and limp. Sorry, but this place should be considered only as a last resort. read more

We were in town for the weekend to attend the Chile Festival in Hatch. Since this restaurant was right near our hotel, and the Yelp reviews were favorable, we stepped inside Johnny B's. Pleasantly surprised to see how busy it was on a Sunday morning. It was nice to see how friendly everyone was and to see how everyone knew everyone. A great vibe. Hubs had the "Johnny Special" with an over easy egg and I had the Biscuits & Gravy with 1 biscuit and sausage patties. They served COKE products! (a huge plus for me). Food was hot and yummy. I had two complaints: the gravy was a tad too runny for me. (Personally, I like a thicker gravy.) Sausage patties were a little overcooked and hard. Service was a bit slow (to be expected in these times) but all the waitresses were working hard and getting it done! If we're ever in TorC again, we would definitely stop here again. read more

There were nine of us and everyone thought their meal was delicious. Service was great. Ambiance was pleasant. Easy on and off access to freeway. read more

Good solid restaurant in T or C for breakfast. Would go back again, service good on a busy weekend

The food was very good. I was impressed by the staff. I've eaten there quite a few times. I like to have lunch.

Really not good. I had a green chile burger and it was dry. My friend had the French dip sandwich which she said was flavorless. I would not return. read more

You can tell it's popular with residents. People know each other and the waitresses know how to carry several plates like good old-fashioned diners. Had the French Toast with bacon, which was meaty and crispy. Hubby had the chicken fried steak, eggs and hash browns. Hardly looked up. Buttery biscuit with gravy is the bomb. read more

Johnny B's Restaurant - French Toast with bacon and side of scrambled egg. - American Near Me - Truth Or Consequences, New Mexico

Good food ,friendly waitress, fast service, and good prices. Offer to reservation when you have a group of friends with you. read more

We looked at the reviews and saw it rated #2 in the area. The French dip beef was awful and not flavorful. My friend had a green chili burger that was way too spicy and she's had lots of green chili. But the service was prompt. read more

Their red chili chicken enchiladas are the best! I was on my way to Santa Fe. Stopped here for lunch. I did not expect too much, but was blown away. They were actually the best enchiladas I had during my trip to New Mexico. Even better than all the other restaurants I ate at in Santa Fe. read more

Great Value! I will be back again. Great food and even better customer service! Portions are perfect and at a fair price! I had the Denver omelette with biscuits and gravy. My dad had eggs, bacon, hash browns and a pancake. The coffee is good too. read more

Johnny B's has to be one of the best restaurants I've been to and there's only one thing that can top Johnny B's is my grandma's chicken and dumplings but this restaurant is up there read more

I can always count on a great meal at Johnny B's. Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner you get good portions of what you order, and the staff is always pleasant and professional. VERY respectful to my service dog and you don't have to wait long to get your order. Their atmosphere is nice and they also have a great choice of deserts and ice cream. read more

Great people and good food. Red Chili is on point. Root beer floats are great. Go to place when in T or C.

Stopped in on our way to Albuquerque. I had enchiladas with red chile my husband had tamales. Both plates were delicious. Waitresses were very courteous and helpful! Very cozy place! We will stop by again! read more

El Faro was pretty good considering that it's a small town in the middle of nowhere. Would definitely go again and recommend to friends!!!

Good food, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Ate here a couple times while visiting, would do it again.

You are limited to options in during the week in T or C, but were happy this was open. This is a no frills American diner with a hometown feel. The service was prompt and friendly. The kind of place where everyone knows your name and order, if you are a local. The food was nothing spectacular, but it was good. The biscuits are the size of your head, coffee refilled often and eggs were cooked perfectly. Stop in if you are hungry, you won't be disappointed. read more

Ate breakfast there both days that we visited. Wonderful food and good service. Place looked very clean! The biscuits are Huge!

It's a good little place to stop if you are charging your Tesla at the Travel Lodge next door. Basic fare and average food, but the service is above average. Everyone there is super friendly, and your food comes out fast! It is also a great value. Very low prices. read more

On the way to Elephant Butte lake, we stopped and ate at Johnny B's. There were six of us. From the outside, it looked a tad run down; inside, the same. Nonetheless, the waitress was happy and friendly, and the service prompt. We ordered five hamburgers with fries and a Philly cheese steak. The portions were above average, the presentation average, but everything was delicious. The ambience was very comfortable and "homey". I do recommend. Not expensive, and worth eve We returned to Elephant Butte lake two months later for some boating, so we naturally stopped since our first experience was outstanding. The burgers this time however were not the same in that there was less of everything. The taste suffered. That said, what made the experience worse was that the service was unfriendly and slow. It felt as if we were inconveniencing them. We probably won't stop again. read more

Good, solid breakfast. Nice people there too, including some of NM's finest. I was just passing through but would definitely go there again if in the area. And whatever you do, get a biscuit!! Yum!! read more

When we think of a place that puts the word 'Hometown Cooking' in its name we expect food be made from scratch, on site and everyday. The name here is misleading because most of what we had over our two meals was clearly purchased from a food distributor - and frozen. To many people fresh food in this city is not a big deal and with as many poor food choices as there are in this neighborhood this restaurant isn't so bad. On a positive note the service is very good and the food here is way better than you get at Denny's across the street. Meanwhile it's average-at-best. Four of us came here for breakfast. The front desk at the Holiday Inn told us the food was amazing. There was nothing amazing about it. But it was a very good average breakfast. There was nothing to rave about and nothing to complain about either. They bring out large portions and for an affordable price. And if you're comparing the food to Denny's across the street or Hodges a few miles down the road yes the food here is much better but take into account what you're comparing it to as well. Lunch, none-the-less, was another story. We weren't impressed. As a matter of fact, our lunch tasted almost comparable to something like Denny's. The french fries are frozen, not hand cut like you would expect from a name that uses the word Hometown Cooking in it. The hamburger had little to no taste and the rueben wasn't anything to cheer about either. The biggest disappointment was the salad and the salsa. This is New Mexico where everybody makes fresh salsa on site. Whatever they gave us tasted like it came straight out of a bottle. That's a major no no in this state. And please let's get rid of the iceberg lettuce and bottled salad dressing and replace it with fresh greens and dressing made on site. That's what a customer deserves when they walk into a place that advertises Hometown Cooking. read more

Have enjoyed making this a stop over place when in TorC or on our way past. Have enjoyed the family atmosphere, the friendly service and the food. One of only a few places I have been able to enjoy the Liver and Onions on the menus. Very home cooked taste and feel. Only wish they did not close so early.....8pm seems early to me. read more

Food was great, service pretty good. The bathrooms need some cleaning. The portion size was large enough we could have shared food as is often the case in American restaurants. The waitress was very sweet and there were a ton of locals in at 9 on a Saturday morning. Always a good sign. read more

Food, service and ambiance were perfect! Good bread, portions, and flavor! Wide variety of choices!

Great burgers and the fries were yummy too. Homemade ranch- thick and bubbly (If you know, you know!) perfect diner food. I wanted to try the ice cream, but I was too full! read more

We had the special clam chowder soup and catfish meal. Sorry didn't btake a picture. Everything's made homemade including the tartar sauce. I am not a fan of any sauces. I ate the catfish with tartar sauce. Great food! HOMEMADE ICE CREAM! Wow! read more

Mediocre at best. Canned chile with heavy vinegar taste to it. I had the loaded hasbrowns with egg on top. No seasoning at all. Hashbrowns were frozen type. Not worth the price. Wont be back if I decide to come through again. read more

Very good stop for lunch. Split the soup and sandwich special which includes a whole sandwich. Kitchen split the order we did not have to mess with it. Wish they had more variety with the homemade pie. Had the green Chile Philly beef for sandwich. Homemade soup was beef vegetable which was also very good. read more

Really good green chili cheese burger. Definitely beat the one I had two days before in Albuquerque at a well known restaurant. Waitress was friendly and efficient. Hostess didn't really want to be there. Atmosphere is fun. read more

Dont judge this restaurant by its outside. It is a bit kitchy but the service is great (per 2 visits -so far! on this trip) I've had the huge chef salad. Crispy veg, lots of meat. My husband had a huge Mexican plate of heartburn delight. He was HAPPY and Full. Breakfast was huge, hot delicious. Waitstaff, Blanca and Megan, were cheerful and attentive. They seem to really enjoy their job. read more
