This restaurant had great reviews and it didn't disappoint. If I had to compare it, I'd say it's very similar to Cracker Barrel or Black Bear Diner. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and it was delicious. My daughters also ordered burgers and really enjoyed theirs. My son ordered fish (cod) and chips and thought it was decent. Hubby ordered an all meat scramble and enjoyed it though he didn't anticipate the sausage to be ground. A texture thing. My younger kiddos split a chicken strip plate and it was large enough. The waitress brought out an extra plate and that was appreciated. Me and my kiddos ordered juice and it was room temperature. Is that normal? Eh, I don't know. But we asked for a cup of ice on the side and they graciously brought it out to cool our beverages. You pay at the counter after the waiter brings you your receipt. Upon delivery of our receipt, the waitress informed us that the gratuity was not included. I found it a little tacky and like she was ensuring her tip. I always tip (even for poor service), so that put a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. It was a nice hearty meal before our hike. I would eat here again and probably order the burger without juice lol. There seems to be a consistent line out the door, so plan to wait some. They close at 2 pm, as they're only open for breakfast and lunch, so plan accordingly. read more

Hungry. Almost Hangry? Large Chicken Fried Steak, hash browns, two eggs, and a BIG Biscuit & Gravy. YUM I was too ashamed to ask my wonderful server for extra gravy. I'd shared Nothing with Charles who politely waited under the table. read more

This is a great breakfast restaurant! Good service, good food, a real breakfast atmosphere. We had a delicious huevos rancheros and a standard eggs, bacon, toast. Everything was very good, hot, tasty. The place was packed on a Saturday morning, but the staff handled the crowd with ease. Definitely a good stop in Ruidoso. read more

The wait to be seated was a bit longer than expected, but it was during Thanksgiving break so lots of tourists. It also took a while to get our food, so overall the waiting was pretty long. Our server was ok, but it was just slow. The food was good- it wasn't the best, but Log Cabin is one of the few places to eat at for a country breakfast. The place is pretty loud, decorated as a country spot with deer heads and bear fur on the walls- nice decor. If you're looking for country food- this might be one of your only options. As always, straight from the plate. read more

Food was okay, customer service was mediocre at best but they did have an outdoor patio that was pet friendly so there was that!

Very good. They only do breakfast and lunch. There's usually a wait so go early. Had the eggs Benedict which was very good. My dad had the French toast, delish. My mom had an omelette which was good but a bit too cheesy for me, that's just a personal preference read more

The Food is great, there can be a little wait but it's worth it! The service is great, from the waiters to the hostess! Friendly atmosphere! The eggs Benedict was good, loved the sauce. My husband had the huevos ranchero plate that he said came out well! read more

The pumpkin pancakes were huge and oh so tasty! We did end up needing to wait about 20 minutes for a table, but it's easy to see it's because this is the best breakfast place in Riudoso. Love the log cabin vibes! read more

We decided to try a new restaurant for breakfast. My husband ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs with a side of red Chile. I ordered the ladies omelet. Both dishes were delicious, and the food came out fast. The biscuit was the best part of the meal. The gravy was just ok, I would have rather put butter and jelly on it. Overall we would be back. read more

We always eat here when we visit Ruidoso. It never disappoints. Our favorite is the "all meat" skillet breakfast. It's chock full of meat and cheese. Get their salsa, it's some of the best I've ever had, good flavor and heat isn't oppressive. read more

Log Cabin - Best breakfast in the county!! - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Ruidoso, New Mexico

Very yummy food, and good service. Prices are okay. Cute decorations, inside and outside waiting area.

Made it out to Log Cabin for lunch last week, which it has been a while since my last visit, and it was great! Actually tried their sandwiches! I had the club and my husband had the New Mexico cheesesteak. The cheesesteak was a little spicy, but delicious. I really liked it! My husband liked it too but said it still needed the Whiz, Swiss wasn't doing it. The club was great! Perfect ratio of meats, veggie, and cheese. They were easy on the Mayo and I appreciate that! I think I'll try a different bread next time. Only things that were just okay on these plates were the fries; my sweet potato fries were too fried and the regular fries are crinkle cut which is not our favorite. All in all it was another delicious meal and I still recommend Log Cabin as a place to try if you're in Ruidoso. read more

I'd gotten word this place gets slammed big time on weekends for breakfast so either come early or get ready to wait in line. Lucky for us we came early on MLK day about 830 and it was a cold rain/sleet morning likely keeping some from going out. The place was not very busy when we got in. Got seated fast and orders were placed quickly also. I went with 2 grilled pork chops and 2 eggs with grits and sourdough toast. My wife went french toast and eggs/bacon. My son went with buttermilk pancakes, 2 eggs, and sausage. Everyone liked their food and finished almost all of it. My only gripe is that my grits came with butter already melted into them and I am not a butter person at all so those went to waste sadly. Service is fast, kind, and accurate. Prices are fair, the venue is old-school outdoorsy, wilderness feel of a log cabin... go figure. Great place for a local breakfast experience to start your day pre or post-hike! read more

Hands down the food is great here. The offerings are huge and everything is delicious. Be careful when you're ordering add on's. $5 to add strawberries to a waffle. $5.50 for a side of bacon. $9 for 2 eggs.... but the service is great and the ambiance is fun. read more

Whenever we visit friends in Ruidoso, we always go to this favorite place for breakfast/brunch. Very popular with both locals and visitors, the restaurant is always very busy. Good thing the big parking lot out front can accommodate all comers! Even when there's a small line outside, the wait is never too long. Staff keeps things hopping inside, so table turnover is smooth. The place is decorated with fabulous cabin kitsch - warm and inviting. Friendly servers even when the place is packed. And the FOOD! Simple and delicious! The cream gravy and biscuits! The French toast! All of the egg dishes! We have our favorites, but usually also try something new to share - too many good choices! Fresh mountain air, super yummy comfort meal start to the day - what more can you ask for? read more

Watery boxed mashed potatoes, why do they do this to us. Ruidoso is stocked with food. The scarcity is over. Why! The brown gravy tastes like a can. The people are nice but the food is meh. Hope they will fix this soon. It use to be a great place to eat. read more

Delicious! I have a slight gripe about this place being out of biscuits and gravy by noon when I visited. I was informed that, had I actually been able to try them, they're delicious. Hopefully next time. The wait was also a bit long, despite being told it would not be haha, but when the food came, I was happy. I got the polish sausage and eggs (sunny-side up is like my new thing now) with a side of toast (CAUSE NO BISCUITS AND GRAVY LEFT) and grits. I'm a grits gal and this place knows what they're doing. I regret not taking home the 2 tablespoons of leftovers I couldn't finish. While they could be more liberal with the buttering of the toast, the meal was top notch and I wish I had another plate in front of me right now. I have to come back to this place when I'm in town again. The menu is lengthy, and this place definitely leans more to the breakfast side of things. All staff were super friendly too. read more

Log Cabin - This was in the "Classic" section of the menu and boy, do they do it well. Can I have this every day for breakfast? - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Ruidoso, New Mexico

Food was tasty and we received great service from the staff. Partner ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs and he thoroughly enjoyed the gravy and crisp hash browns. I ordered the veggie omelette. It was good, but a little over the top on the onions. Glad I have mouthwash haha. read more

We found this restaurant through a Yelp reviews! Thank you! We were very hungry, tired from a camping trip and ready to find something outside of the tourist area, as there was an event and big crowds, downtown. We sat down, opened the menu and both of us instantly saw the ground hamburger Patty dinner and knew what we were going to get. It came with a salad, a choice of potatoes and Texas toast. It was very good. Staff very friendly, helpful. Lots of smiles! Will go again if we end up in Ruidoso. read more

This place was recommended to us during our stay in Ruidoso. Pros: large and unique menu items (I had a chorizo omelette), friendly service, hot melted butter on the table and "lodge-y" atmosphere Cons: the restaurant was overpriced for breakfast food. I've had lots of good breakfasts for a lot cheaper. It's kind of a tourist spot so I get the feeling that they don't care too much about upsetting a few customers here and there. The bacon was overcooked and my gravy with my biscuit was cold. All and all this was a good breakfast place and I would come back if I was in town again. read more

Log Cabin - Breakfast waffles - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Ruidoso, New Mexico

We eat at the Log Cabin every time we visit Ruidoso and have never had a bad experience until today. Since we brought our pup on the camping trip this time, we decided to call in a to-go order for breakfast. The lady who answered the phone said someone would have to come place the order in person so we gathered up all our orders and sent my husband to order and wait. When he arrived he was told they are not doing to-go orders today. He explained that we were told to come in and order to-go, that didn't matter to the restaurant manager and they refused service. The Yelp page specifically mentions take out as an option. Looking for a replacement breakfast spot for the next family trip. read more

Oh goodness we found this joint on our New Years trip 2022 We are with Ben, Audrey and JW the day we left HUGE pancakes Great food Superb service Value was great Kids had waffles with whipped cream and fruit CFS with eggs was spot on You have to try this place !! read more

The hostess with the bad highlights, pronounced my name completely wrong, after I spelled it for her prior to us sitting down, was then extremely catty saying "Oh well, at least you get to eat" then whined about her being the only "hostess".... Maybe she was dyslexic. Idk. BUT, this review isn't about her problems, it's about the GREAT FOOD! Everything tastes homemade, from scratch, and couldn't have asked for a better home style breakfast!! Biscuits were fresh and fell apart beautifully. Chicken fried chicken was tender, and gravy was super flavorful. Always appreciate a breakfast restaurant that has sausage patties. Pancakes were a tad darker on the bottom, but it added to the flavor. she also brought out melted butter Shauna was our waitress, although she was extremely busy, she didn't miss a beat and was extremely accommodating. 9/10 will come back for the food and Shauna most certainly. read more
