Oasis Restaurant & Motel

We stopped in Raton on our drive back from Denver. We found the Oasis Restaurant. It's a nice local restaurant with a diner feel. No website or frills. Just real comfort food at a reasonable price. I got the special BBQ burger and my daughter got the special Philly cheesesteak. Both were good, flavorful and simple. Fries were fresh cut. It's clear that they make everything in house. Even the veggies were crisp!The server was nice and fast. The server checked in on us often no matter how busy it got. They have excellent customer service. If you want good Mexican or American comfort food, stop by. You know it's full of locals. They also had cherry and apple pie.

So, our usually successful practice of asking locals where the best place to eat is didn't really work for us this time. If this is actually the best place to eat in Raton, I truly feel sorry for the population! We both ordered "specials". Hubs had a Taco Salad and I had the Tortilla Burger with Fries. ALL of the food was extremely bland and the fries were limp with grease. Our server was HORRIBLE, stepping outside to place a call while we were waiting to order. He was arguing with the other servers, trying to get his tips early and we had to request salsa for the taco salad and ketchup for the fries. Had to ask for extra napkins from another server because he left before I had a chance to ask him. The place was pretty dumpy, which alone isn't that bad, but combined with lousy food and lousier service, makes it a "not coming back HERE again" trifecta!

Yelped for dinner as we were passing through. Burger and fries were good. Cherry and apple pie were the bomb! We asked for ketchup, mustard and mayo for our burgers and fries, but they forgot it. We had to improvise with some leftover condiments from earlier in the day. The super delicious pie made up for it!

Great service. Food very good and large portions. Restaurant was clean and quiet. Large parking lot. Plenty of seating.

The fair is delicious, servers pleasent, and attentive, local folks friendly, smiling, ambiance comfortable, wonderful place to Nosh while traveling, handling area business or just hungry!!!This is our "go to" here in Raton! Need to spend the night?Stop at the Raton Motor Inn, every room is themed, you'll be glad you stopped at these 2 homey places

We ordered Mexican food. Big mistake. The green sauce was brown and the pinto beans inedible. No flavor in the pie. Very poor quality. Service was good and maybe their other food like burgers are good. Just don't order Mexican food. Blah.

I've only eaten breakfast here. I had a Belgian waffle and sausage. The waffle was cooked perfectly- great flavor and crispy on the outside. The coffee was your typical cafe coffee. Although I consider myself a coffee snob (I'm not a Starburnt fan at all), the coffee was just fine! The service was great and the servers were friendly. As expected in a small town, everyone knows everyone. Pretty much everyone greeted me when I walked in. I really like that. It reminds me of going to grab coffee with my dad and his friends when I was a child- 40 years ago or so. Brought back great memories. Sorry for the sentimental detour. I recommend this place for a waffle at least. I'll be back for a stuffed sopapilla this evening smothered with red chile!For this with the electric car persuasion- they even have a charging spot.

No not their biscuit and gravy the gravy was brown the food tasted like a dish rag it was terrible But I have eaten their home made soups and they are delicious

Great food, great service and great atmosphere. Do not sleep on this place hope to be back soon. Might even stay a day or two!

Called before 7 and they were able to whip up tasty wet breakfast burritos with crispy hashbrowns in a few minutes. Only place in town besides gas stations and dennys open so early. Would come again and sit inside. Very helpful friendly hostess.
