It is not your typical American dessert by any means, it was delicious, a combo of sweet and savory while also spicy. Wife and in laws got ice cream, tried her cookies and cream which was good. 4 scoops of ice cream and my dessert for a little over $9?! Love it. Food is probably also delicious, they were well staffed and friendly. Get outside your comfort zone and try this place out!

The oil the fried them in tasted old. The French fries were ok. For almost $16, NOT WORTH IT. The girl that took our order couldn't figure out that it was our order when it came out. We were the only ones there without food. The other couple had already eaten. Just weird. We won't go back ever.

There was free parking in their private lot. The adorable white and red shop is easily visible from Canal Street in Carlsbad, NM. Each regular cup with one large scoop costed $4. I admitted to our server that I was torn between two flavors and she stated that she could split a regular cup with two kid size scoops for me. Awesome! She didn't tell me that two small scoops was $5.50 but I probably still would've done it. While the flavors were not quite as prevalent as I would have liked, they were enjoyable. We tried: + Superman sherbet (blue raspberry, cherry & vanilla) + Mississippi mud + Coffee + Butter pecan On April 27, 2024, service was friendly & quick to get the line through as the dining area is a bit of a tight squeeze. Perfect way to end our day after a trip to Carlsbad Caverns and before state testing begins at my kids' school. TIPS + samples upon request + cash & plastic accepted Always scream for ice cream!

Grizzly Bear's Fudge factory

Grizzly Bear's Fudge Factory is yet another gem in Carlsbad, New Mexico…read more I rushed my daughters in here from a dust storm on 4.18.2025. I thought a lemonade or limeade would help keep our minds off of powerful wind gusts and blinding sand on the way back home about 70 miles away. My only regret was not picking up some fudge. My girls wanted a salty snack in some cheese popcorn. I guess I was stressed about the drive... rightly so. This is the same storm that literally ripped pieces of my roof off. *sigh* Three drinks and a bag of popcorn was about $21. For a limeade, my youngest daughter and I recommend the Carlsbad Sunrise (peach, pina colada, & watermelon). For a lemonade, my oldest daughter and I recommend the Summer Days (red raspberry, peach, & watermelon). There will be pulp. And seeds. And fresh fruit thrown in your drink. Made fresh in the store! Amazing service. Clean and tidy inside. Drive-thru available!

The burgers had no lettuce, no tomatoes, nothing on them. The fries were hard and tasted old too. My kids' Wacky Pack burger looked like it had been sitting there forever with an old dried-out patty. On top of the food being terrible, the customer service was rude from start to finish. We were told they "didn't have ice cream," yet the girl working the window was literally eating ice cream while telling us that. That just made the whole experience even more frustrating and unprofessional. Very disappointing experience, especially spending money to feed a family and getting poor quality food and bad attitudes in return. I would not recommend this location to anyone until they improve their food quality and customer service.

Guadalupe Mountain Brewery

My husband and I were staying next door at the Homes2Suites and decided to grab a couple pizzas to…read morego. One of the pizzas we ate at the hotel and one we ended up taking with us to Carlsbad Caverns the next day and eating as a picnic lunch which was so fun! Both fresh and as leftovers, the pizzas were very good. We also indulged in a couple of IPAs/ Pale Ales as we waited. All of which hit the spot. The place was PACKED! But the line went by quickly and waiting for food was easy enough. There seemed to be a bountiful amount of seating.

DLDR: Food is decent, service takes forever, and the beers are delicious…read more First time to GMBC and I'm going to try to have an open mind. This brewery is an oasis in Southern New Mexico. I can honestly say I could drink their brews daily as there is a wide range of IPA to almost Pils which should satisfy most folks. Beer = damn good! Ambiance is nice but simple. I can see that there might be a vision for branding and a local guitarist setting the tone. I'm all for it! It's a good idea but needs more application. Here's the problem: The service and wait times are very bad. Not the worst I've had, but it will 100% take you 30+ minutes to get a pizza plus wait time in line. To me, that is absolutely unacceptable. I don't have a problem with queuing in line for food and drinks but the speed needs to increase just to adhere to the vibe GMBC is trying to create; a Guadalupe Mountain Brewery that focuses on food, family, and beer. About the pizza, promising an open mind here, it's ok. Again, an oasis in a Domino's wasteland. But Dominos fully cooks their pizzas. I am 100% a pizza snob. I give these pies 2.5/5. Far too many toppings and a pale crust. Less toppings, more heat, more experience from the BOH staff. The pies are not cooked long enough as the cheese is clumpy and uneven and the toppings (veggies mainly) are huge, undercooked and the pizza was served nearly cold! Great portions but poor bake as they prioritize "speed" over making a good pizza. If you have never had a delicious slice, this is a solid step in the right direction. If you are used to professionals creating quality food, you will be disappointed. Still, don't shy away from this brewery as you can have a good (quite long) time as the beers are fairly priced and food will satisfy you. Absolutely throwing shade to the queso which is just canned Queso brand with crappy chips. I might add that the queso came with a hair in it but was slowly rectified by a server that I had to flag down. Ultimately, why should I wait so long in line for food that is minimum standard and is amateurish? Because I'm in Carlsbad, NM and there isn't competition to incentivize this place to be better. I want them to be better because I plan on making this a solid pit stop in the future. Keep up the good work, but continue to improve.
