My daughter has celiac disease so naturally we had a few questions about the menu. As the server was answering our questions Chef Keith overheard us all talking. He came to our table and was invested in making sure we chose the right things on the menu to make sure our daughter was safe. Keith was so understanding and went out of his way to help give our daughter options. We appreciate his time and thoughtfulness! Thank you again. We all enjoyed our meals and drinks!

EVERYTHING is homemade. Even the poptarts! They have a creative menu and the hot honey lemonade is phenomenal. Some things you just don't know you need to try until you see an intriguing irem like the gold leaf tumeric latte. There was an excellent Chipotle ketchup to go with my homemade hashbrown. And the Joy's coffee was THE BEST take on an Almond Joy latte. WOW. If you're in Ruidoso, check it out! The guy there was so nice too. Friendly and pretty quick for how busy they were. Lots of dairy free and gluten free options for those with alergies.

Passing through the city and wanted to try some local options. When I asked if the food was gluten free I was thankful for the knowledgeable answer from the Chef (owner?). I ordered a drink and my other half had the protein option. He enjoyed his dinner! The atmosphere in that shopping center was so much fun and small town vibe.

So glad we found this restaurant. Excellent beef and lots of other choices on the extensive menu. They have some gluten-free bread options and our waitress consulted with a manager to confirm which dressings on the salad wagon were gf, and he personally came to our table.

Indulge in a unique pork omelet paired with incredible green sauce; just a heads-up, pets aren't allowed on the porch.

Delish! Pork omelet with green sauce was amazing. I have to eat gluten free and was told that both the green and red sauces are made with cornstarch rather than flour. It's unusual for me to have the pleasure of a sauce! *note* NO pets allowed on the porch.

We were hungry and tired and just saw this restaurant and pulled in. I'm so glad we did! It was absolutely delicious. We explained to the waitress that our son had Celiac's disease. The chef made him a beef patty with cheese and hand cut french fries. That's amazing that he took the time to make a meal dietary friendly for my child to eat. We truly appreciate that. Everything else was delicious as well. We will definitely visit again!
