We came in to catch the seasonal (at least now, it used to be a staple), turkey dinner. Alas, they were out. I ordered a BYOB hamburger, husband got the turkey club. Both were good. Service was very good. We love this Range Cafe the most. The atmosphere inside is more open and we think the best decorated. We've had many things here, tacos, green chile stew (a FAV), burgers, enchiladas, salads, just about everything ! Our absolute favorites lie in the bakery and our standout favorite is the vanilla coconut cream pie! Try it at least once !

This restaurant is an absolute joke. The manager is a joke after an hour and a half everybody that even came in after us got fed we waited for close to two hours to sit down never got drink refills never even got our food. Don't waste your time unless you wanna spend half a day trying to get food Management needs replacement kitchen needs help and I can't tell you how the food is cause we never got it. The host was unfriendly from the start, waitress never came back after we ordered and the manager was complacent. The restaurant was half empty and the service was non existent. Talking to the manager she could care less. Owners should take not that this team has no care in the world about customer service, timeliness or quality. Because you have a good reputation doesn't mean you get to ignore customers and expect support. What a HUGE disappointment!!!

It's supposed to be chicken stew.

You can improve. Been here before. Never again. Green chile stew. You mean vegetable stew. Blue corn pancakes. Where is the blue corn? Our waitress has filled our coffee once had to ask for more. Waited for her to return with raw sugar coffee got cold. Dulce needs a little attention on customer service.

Tasty food at good prices with a super waitress who worked a shift that was down 3 waitresses, but she worked hard enough that we didn't even notice having to wait for anything. We had the green chili cheeseburger sliders, and they were delicious! Fresh bun, warm, and a little larger than what we think of typical sliders. I got the avocado toast Benedict on sourdough with perfectly poached eggs, Hollandaise sauce, grilled asparagus, tomato, feta (I think)....absolutely delicious and filling. The Range has a great variety on menu, and its food has been consistently good over the many years we've visited. Highly recommend!

Croque madam - ham Swiss cranberry sauce with fruit cup

I liked my food and so did my partner but nothing was amazing. Everything was a ok to meh. The staff was great and I thought were very friendly and nice. I found my sandwich a bit dry and I think had bits of egg shell or something crunchy a couple times on the French toast breading. The fruit cup had tiny pieces of pineapple I would have composted. My partner had the biscuits and gravy and they were also ok. The eggs were a touch undercooked for him with not all the white solid. Again the staff were fantastic, food was ok and for the price underwhelming. I would go back if it was the most convenient location.

Daily specials menu

The Range Cafe has plenty of seating o accommodate small or large groups of people. They have an amazing selection of homemade pastries. Their serving sizes are generous and they also serve alcohol for those that are wanting mimosas with breakfast. They also have happy hour specials during the week.

The pecan roll was delicious along with coffee. I ordered the carne breakfast which was mediocre at best. The carne adovada was not that great. Having said that the sweets are most likely their highlight. Plenty to choose from. They also have a late night happy hour which most places do not offer. I would come back because they have a large menu and I think its worth another shot.

For bring in town for 24 hours this is a place you have to put on your list to experience. It is a local gem and has so much of the NM cultural experience within it. Super fun and worth the visit!

Solid funky spot with interesting decor... be sure to order something with green chile and take in the unusual vibes. Be careful you may spot an alien in the bathroom. I got the carrot cake + banana cake and both were pretty solid. The iced tea was refreshing. Service was friendly and prices were reasonable. Interested to try a different cake next time or stop by for a complete meal.

Pancakes

Upon entering the building, I was greeted immediately by the hostess across the room at the host counter. Very helpful and friendly. I let her know I was placing a to go order. I ordered the wagon trail, which comes with two eggs, two bacon front range, potatoes and pancakes. There are of course options too. Add toppings and what not. I ordered my eggs, scrambled well, the bacon extra crispy, and some strawberry topping for the pancakes. I waited nearly 35 minutes for mine to go order. In which the hostess did continually let me know, she was checking on my order. I asked for some utensils which she promptly put in my bag and I went out to my vehicle. I opened everything up which looked initially good. However, there was no butter syrup or strawberries. I did go back in and I was given those items by another hostess. The bacon looked nearly raw and almost un edible. Definitely not extra crispy. The sausage was extra greasy. I know some sausages are. The eggs appeared to be cooked as I requested but no salt or pepper on them. The potatoes by Farr were the biggest disappointment as they just seemed like they were cut up potatoes and baked. There was no flavor. No seasoning. Nothing. Just cut up potatoes. The pancakes I normally don't order at restaurants, but I thought I would give it a try as this place was recommended from a friend. The pancakes were definitely light and fluffy and smelled amazing. Their flavor was fairly decent. I feel for $25 which is what I paid for this meal there was definitely a decent amount of food, but the disappointment with everything else made it not worth the money. The good news is my dog did not discriminate on this meal at all, and she promptly finished everything for me.

Blue corn pancakes

I have eaten here about 8 times over the last few years and it never disappoints!! I have had everything from soups to pancakes and desserts. The blue corn blueberry pancake was the bomb today, as well as the vanilla coconut cream pie. I will be back!!! Wish we had this restaurant in my state.

04/13/26 First of…read moreall, don't let the other reviews of a "sketchy" area deter you from visiting Vick's Vittles. The area looks old and poor, but near the restaurant, we didn't see anything sketchy. When we were leaving, we did see some homeless people at the main intersection, but we didn't see anything we'd describe as sketchy. We did notice there is a mobile home park behind the restaurant, but there is a wall between the mobile home park and the restaurant parking lot. Even if there were police surrounding the mobile home park, we'd still venture inside to eat. The food is that good. We shared the cowboy breakfast burrito and the Santa Fe pancakes. Both were filling and ridiculously good. The Santa Fe pancakes made with blue corn, roasted piñons, green chili, and cheddar jack cheese were different than anything else we've ever had. I'll admit I didn't love my first bite or two, but the more I ate, the more I wanted. The pancakes are dry, but if you drizzle some syrup, it's the perfect match. The accompanying eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly. The cowboy breakfast burrito is massive, filling, and worth every calorie. Even though we were stuffed, we had to get the peach with green chile turnover. We asked if the turnover is served warm and our waitress replied that she could warm it up for is. I'm not sure that it is normally served warm, but I highly recommend it. The turnover flaky, the glaze was silky once warmed up and the peach with green chile was unique and delicious. Five star service and food. I highly recommend Vick's Vittles and hope that I'm in the area again so I can try more of this delicious food.

All new staff that clearly don't understand the restraunt business. Went in today for breakfast, seated in the back. Out of sight, out of mind I guess. Took longer than normal to get waited on. Placed our order, had to correct the waitress several time on our order. Waited quite awhile, long enough to need more coffee. None was coming so had to call out to another waitress to get more. Our waitress did come back to bring the coffee. Before she got there we were discussing the fact that the entire staff was new. She must have overheard us and took it as some kind of slight to her. Two minutes later the manager came over to inform us that we were being rude to her server and that she would be taking over our service. After some discussion my wife said, "this is ridiculous, guess we won't be coming here again" the manager said "well I'll cancel your order and you can leave now". We said we didnt want her to cancel our order and she just said have a nice day. So we left. Sooo not the Vicks Vittles of the past.

Before visiting, I called with a question about the restaurant's name change. The person who…read moreanswered was incredibly helpful and patiently explained that only the name had changed, which I appreciated. For our meal, we ordered two Chicken & Waffles plates, a Blue Corn Lavender Waffle, and a kids' plate. The Chicken & Waffles were the highlight of the meal, offering a satisfying balance of sweet and savory flavors. The Blue Corn Lavender Waffle was a unique touch and a fun way to try something distinctly New Mexican. Neither my wife nor I cared for the drip coffee, so we asked a staff member if we could swap it out for double espressos. They were happy to accommodate us, and the espresso was a significant improvement. The service was friendly, and the staff made a positive first impression from the phone call all the way through our visit. For our family, the total came to about $80, which felt a little steep. We ended up eating inside since the patio tables were either occupied or unavailable (due to a sleeping homeless person). The restaurant is housed in a renovated older home, and they've done a nice job making the most of the space. One of my favorite touches was the collection of retro waffle makers displayed along the walls, which added a fun, nostalgic charm to the atmosphere. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I'd happily return to explore more of the menu.

I haven't been here since they moved to the new spot and renamed. Guess it's been quite a while…read more(Waffletopia now). Anyway, I was super excited to try their blue corn waffles. I had to pick between savory and sweet, and the menu is huge with lots of options plus build your own! I went for savory and got it with goat cheese and spinach (built my own). It was delightful. The blue corn is just a tinge sweet so was an interesting mix. The waffle is a decent size but is super filling and dense. I'll have to try some sweet waffles or some different waffle bases next time! That said there are lots of gluten free options as well, so if that's for you, then don't hesitate to come check it out you won't be disappointed. There is indoor and outdoor seating, though in general the place is small-ish and can get crowded during busy times. Parking is also a bit of an adventure, but so is anywhere in that area. The staff is super friendly as well. All in all a great experience and I will be back. I can't believe it took me so long to get here in the first place!

The taco meat had been sitting on the back burner most of the day. I walked in at 1:10 pm and they close at 2 pm. Horrible dried up ground beef. Can't believe I am paying for dried up tacos, and the cook served me just that, instead of making me fresh ground beef. Next the Spanish Rice was also very dry and cold. The cook could not at least get it warmed up, no because it was so dried up rice, warming it up would not work. Very nasty plate I was served. The beans were good, yet they were luke warm. The only thing that was fresh on my plate was the sopaipilla and the guacamole. Otherwise, what a freaking mess I was serviced. I guess I am done with Kap's. Sorry because you all have a wonderful up-front staff. There should be a restaurant rule, that they can't serve food that has been sitting around for more than a hour drying up that should not be served to their visitors.

This place looks like the coffee shops I remember going to as a kid--labs rock walls and a counter with seats.

We also ordered French toast with eggs and bacon and a carne adovada omelet with hashbrowns and a pancake, and everyone enjoyed their very large breakfasts. This might be in a relatively unsavory part of town, but it's worth the visit for the good food and good service!

Oof. Swing and a hard miss for me…read more Ordered: -The Mimosa - waaaaaaaaaay too sweet. I actually couldn't finish it. I had to order a prosecco and combine it with the mimosa because it was way too much super sweet orange juice -The Cajun Lion's Mane - the hollandaise was absolutely way too sour. I mean...it was bad. Like, really bad. Not only was it just awful, but my entire meal was drowning in it. Next, the coconut crusted lion's mane was absolutely inedible. It tasted more like a different part of the lion, if you know what I mean. I just didn't eat it past two bites. The asparagus was inconsistent (some smaller mushy stalks and some large uncooked crunchy stalks). The toast would have been fine but the amount of pesto on it was atrocious. I scraped most of it off...I mean there was a MOUND of it. The egg was fine (opted for regular). All in all it was just a piece of toast with an egg DROWNING in sour vegan hollandaise and pesto with asparagus and an inedible fried mushroom thing. And to say 'thing' is even offensive to 'things.'
