Honey Sriracha Wings
Kim W.

We sat in the bar for dinner; to have a couple of drinks then dinner. We both decided to order wings. They were served hot. Mine was Korean and his was Honey Sriracha. Both delicious. Not spicy at all even though I prefer spicy. Ranch dressing was homemade which is my fav. We will definitely be back.

8oz Sirloin
Allen U.

Visited The Flume during a work lunch and I must say I been hearing about this place from locals to give it a try. It is located inside the Stevens Inn off Canal Street. Tucked into the motel, we were quickly seated during the lunch hour. Place wasn't busy and the service was great! Our waitress was very attentive, informative and assured our needs were met. Now to rate the food, the salad bar is what really won me over, plenty of vegetables, toppings, fruit as a bonus and soup of the day available on the salad bar. The entree I got the 8oz medium well sirloin with a loaded baked potato. The steak was undercooked on one end and the other just right and as for the quality was more chewy than meat with more fat than expected not worth the $30 for lunch. Overall hidden gem for the salad bar and steakhouse style environment worth a try.

Dessert Bar
Chelsea S.

Such a great place! We went on an Easter holiday and had the buffet. We were told Buffets are on special occasions. Food was good and service was excellent. Such a night and day response from the last restaurant we had went to the day before in Carlsbad. I would definitely come again.

While visiting Carlsbad Caverns we stayed in town for a couple days and had dinner here our first…read morenight. The waitress who served us was wonderful, friendly, attentive, and incredibly kind to our dog. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were generous. The only negative part of the evening had nothing to do with the restaurant. A man seated next to us spent much of dinner being rude and entitled, repeatedly questioning how the salmon was prepared, criticizing the wine list, and generally acting unpleasant toward the staff. The blonde waitress with glasses handled the situation with impressive patience and professionalism. Honestly, it took restraint not to say something myself. She did a fantastic job dealing with a very difficult customer and deserves recognition for it.

Came here because locals swore this place was "so good." Absolutely not…read more The outside gives you hope, but don't be fooled. They marched us straight to some random back room that looked filthy and forgotten. Dirty walls, dead flies sitting on the window sills, dusty air vents directly over our table, worn-out floors and furniture... the whole place felt grimy. On the way to our table we were also walked past a nasty smelling dishwashing area, which really set the tone for the experience. Now the food. The kids got chicken fettuccine Alfredo, and somehow it managed to be both lava hot and completely flavorless at the same time. The chicken tasted like it lost a fight with the microwave. The meatloaf? I genuinely have no idea what they served me. It looked like cafeteria mystery meat drowned in tomato puree. Honestly offensive. I ordered the green chile cheeseburger with fries thinking maybe they'd at least get that right. Nope. The green chile had zero spice, zero flavor, zero reason to exist. The burger itself was forgettable at best. And the best part? The bill was nearly $100. For dirty vents, dead flies, bland food, and mystery meat. Would I come back? Not even if someone else was paying.
