If you find yourself driftin' through Roswell, folks'll point you straight toward Cowboy Cafe like…read moreit's gospel and truth be told, it's earned that reputation. Now I'll say this... I rode in half expectin' a little more alien flair maybe a green fella slingin' hash behind the counter but that ain't the hand they deal. What you do get is a clean joint, friendly service, and a plate that shows up honest and hot. That patty melt? Solid. Crispy, greasy in the right way, and worth the stop. Breakfast holds its own too eggs done right, no nonsense, just good fuel for the road. And for the record, the whole UFO business traces back to the Roswell Incident, which actually went down a ways outside of town but Roswell's been carryin' that legend ever since. End of the day, Cowboy Cafe ain't about gimmicks it's about doin' simple food right. Clean place, good service, strong local backing. Not quite outta this world... but a dependable stop all the same.

It reminded me of my nanas home cookin. So come one, come all. I refused to eat pancakes on the rest of our 5day trip to savor in the goodness of those pancakes. Server was friendly and attentive. We got to meet Terry and he was so friendly as well. I really enjoyed this stop and hope everyone can grab a bite here. It felt cozy and like we lived in the community. 10/10

The interior is surprisingly large with a spacious dining room to the right, more seating near the bar, and even an outdoor space that had live music when we went. Spicy Beef Nachos Appetizer: Chips topped with queso, green onions, jalapeños, black olives, tomatoes, guacamole, and sour cream. My friend got this and I had a couple bites. Chips were not soggy and it was large enough to cover as his dinner. Green Chile Burger: Topped with monterey jack cheese and roasted chopped Chaves County-grown hot green chile. Served on a jalapeño bun with a side of our hot green chile sauce. Their signature burger and it tasted good. I don't need too much food but the amount of fries I got was too little even for me. Got two Johnny Walker Blacks with a splash of coke and they came well mixed and quickly. We did end up getting rained in and hilariously went back for a second dinner to wait out the rain. Black corn taquitos were OK, I would not get the fried shrimp basked again, the shrimp was too small and there was too much breading.

The hostess (whose name I forget) went out of her way to take special care of our huge group of 10 people who dropped in on her on a busy night. Our server Heather was a total rock star! She had never heard of Pink Floyd (heresy!) but treated us like royalty. All in all I would have to believe that Peppers treats every single customer like this - and highly recommend a stop.

Farley's Bland Food, Misery, & Pub…read more Me and my girlfancé came here during vacation expecting a possible Roswell hidden gem. Well, i hope it stays hidden. NO gems in sight here. Ew. The service took incredibly long even though it was very slow. Not terrible, me and my girlfancé can excuse it. But the food was wayyyy below par. My girlfancé ordered a pizza. it was flimsy, burnt, too salty, and it was the best thing we ordered. My fajita chicken was burnt on the bottom of every piece. Our chips and salsa / cheese were ABYSMAL. Gas station chips are much crispier, the salsa wqs like water + tomato paste, the cheese was thicker and dark yellow, worse than cheapy movie nacho cheese. Overalll, me and girlfancé warn you - Farleys Food Fun & Pub may have some nice merch with ufos on it, but yummylicuous food is an ALIEN to concept to this establishment.

It is nice to come to a restaurant that is a staple of a community. Most of the time, diners, pizza…read moreshops, ice cream parlors serve this purpose, and sometimes, cafeterias/coffee shops, bakeries do. A little bit less common yet, we find restaurants that provide this space over a long period of time. Martin's Capitol Cafe would be such. We ordered a tamale, carne adovada and a chimichanga. The chimichanga wasn't deep fried but pan fried, which was not common and already a red flag. We got our food and it was just OK. The chips and salsa were good, but the food was OK. My portion was also small, and the rice was a bit dry. Maybe we ordered wrong... The restaurant is also a bit well worn. It adds charm but I think charm that is not backed up with good food is like a band-aid over a bleeding wound.

My first meal in Roswell was this spot and it was a good option…read more I had a Combination Plate with 3 items: taco, chile relleno and enchilada. This was a nice portion of food with a good amount of flavor in each dish. The beef enchilada was probably the best item out of the three - well seasoned beef in a tortilla, covered with good chile sauce. The service was just okay - it seemed like we were almost inconveniencing our server, but at least the host was friendly. Despite being fairly empty, it did take a little while for our food to arrive. After some research, this seemed to be one of the better options for New Mexican food in Roswell, so I'd probably go back on my next visit.

Apparently they staff the place such that you're kept waiting, presumably to coerce you into ordering on one of two touch screens. Two problems: 1-I can't pay with cash on the screen, and 2: I'm not interested in touching a screen countless other people have been fondling with their filthy hands immediately prior to eating. The message about "customer safety" on the screen is truly laughable. As if that weren't bad enough, they also managed to make a sausage egg McMuffin with no egg. Had my receipt not blown away in the hurricane-force winds today, I'd have just gone back inside and returned it all. Next time I'll just skip McDonald's altogether.

The outside and inside are well maintained and have an Italian style. Ideal place for date night. Wait staff and hostess were both professional and friendly. Our waitress had an amazing personality and helped us pick two dishes. Bread basket was brought to the table. As a bread lover, I was not too happy with the quality and baking style of the bread. We ordered Lobster Ravioli and Chicken Piccata. While the dishes were not seasoned to what I am accustomed to, they did the trick for two hungry tourists. As always, I encourage you to try it for yourself when you find yourself in Roswell, NM.
