Waffle plate

Such a cute little diner. The service was very quick. We sat down, and they gave us a buzzer that told us when to come up and order our food. While we waited someone came around to take drink orders. Our food came out very quickly, and was all hot and delicious. The coffee was great and I loved the "homey" feeling that all the mugs were different. I was also very excited to see that the sold some of my favorite childhood cookies that my grandma used to bake.

The food was so good. We had just got done riding ATVs and needed something warm and tasty. Out group of 15 fit perfectly and the food was fast and hot.

My wife and I were driving through Red River NM, and stopped at YESTERDAY'S DINER for lunch - it was a very delightful, charming, and very tasty experience. I ordered the Reuben Sandwich and my wife ordered the Bacon-Lettuce-Tomato Sandwich - both were really fantastic! Hey - I lived in New York City, and this was definitely a good Reuben! My wife also ordered a lemon meringue pie for dessert, which was also delicious. The atmosphere is very nostalgic 1960s, with walls studded with posters of Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and other retro movie stars, plus a model railroad train and track circling the dining room ceiling along with several vintage military airplane models. The host and server were super friendly, very helpful with food suggestions, and very quick to deliver hot food. It was a very delightful and charming experience, and the prices were very reasonable for such fantastic food. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner every day from 7am to 7pm. Very highly recommended.

While visiting Red River, NM, my husband and I wanted breakfast/ brunch and based on reviews, we decided to go here. It was a nice walk from our hotel. Sadly, the weather wasn't the best,it was raining, but we made it. I have to admit, I didn't quite understand how the process worked. You walk in and if there's a wait, which there was (a good sign), we were instructed to go down the hallway and wait. We waited for awhile and they finally called our name and took us to a table. No instructions given. We sat there for awhile waiting, finally a kind man sitting next to us told us to get up and go to the next room to place our order. We did so. The girl taking our order was polite but English was not her first language and I asked her a couple of questions about the menu and she obviously didn't understand what I was saying. Not a huge thing, but just made the process more time consuming. It took awhile, but we received our food, although my order wasn't correct. Again, I think the language disparity was the problem but we did enjoy the food, and overall the experience was positive. It was just kind of odd.

Reuben with beer battered fries

This is the best meal we've had on our trip so far. We actually came here because they are located in the same building as the snowmobile tour we were going on after lunch. We arrived around 1:00 and there was only one other diner in the restaurant. You choose your own seat, look at the menu, then go up to the counter to order and pay. We got the Reuben sandwich with beer battered fries. The reuben was yummy. The pastrami had a slightly smoky flavor with the edges of the meat a tiny bit charred, which was actually a nice change for the typical reuben. The fries were perfectly crispy. Hubby got the Slopper, which was smothered in green chile sauce and cheese. The Chile had a slight spice to it. He ate the whole thing. Overall, we'll be back next time we're in Red River!

The hours

5/2/2023 so we head down for lunch and yelp says they are open. The doors are unlocked you can smell food cooking, but the restaurant itself is dark. The handwritten not on the door says opens May 3 which is tomorrow. We walk in since it is unlocked. Finally see someone and she says rather curtly that they don't open until tomorrow. Sheesh. 5/3/2023 9:30 am we are headed out of town we stop here again since it was that side of the street. They ladies were sweeter and attitude way different than the day before. 3 street taco breakfast tacos with bacon (you get your choice of ham, sausage or bacon) hash browns, eggs and cheese with a side of salsa. She literally is making the tacos as I am ordering! $9.00 they were fresh and almost too hot to eat. All is forgiven and forgotten when I taste these heavenly tacos! Not the diet plate and worth every calorie and artery clogging bite! Thank you ladies and good sir for a great Red River farewell.

Vibes immaculate! Food even better! Other reviews didn't…read moremention how awesome it is for kids as well with a great area to play outside. Food came out quickly, and was absolutely delicious. Not even a question this was the best meal we had in Red River. Couldn't recommend this place more highly.

This is hands down the best restaurant in Red River! My group and I tried pretty much every…read morerestaurant located in Downtown Red River (albeit not that many in the area). Service: The restaurant was struggling a bit with a busy evening, but they did not miss a beat when it came to service! They informed our group of 8 that things were going to take a bit longer, which was fine by us! They came by to check in on the group to make sure our drinks were flowing! I appreciated that the owners took the time to introduce themselves to every table, and even helped out bussing and delivering dishes when their servers were busy! The owners were so friendly and very passionate about the restaurant. You can tell by the quality of the dishes here. Food: The food was absolutely spectacular! I did not expect much coming here, but my mind was blown away! Each and every person in our group raved about the dish they ordered so I don't think you can go wrong with any of the dishes on the menu! For starters, we ordered the Brussels sprouts, and meatballs to share. For those in the group that were veggies-adverse, the Brussels sprouts were still a hit! The meatballs were so juicy, and flavorful. I'd order both dishes again. I ordered the smoked chicken quarter. The chicken was so tender and seasoned impeccably. The sweet potato puree was the star for me. My husband kept stealing some of the sweet potato puree from my plate! It was so good! I stole some of my husband's order of the meatloaf. It tasted so good...you cannot go wrong with that one either! Some of our group even went back here the next day to try their brunch menu!
