Wing Daddy's Sauce House

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (131) • $$

"This is one of those kinds of places that you come for the wings and end up getting a burger plus the wings! Everything looked amazing- I spied on all the dishes that were coming out!I was alone on this occasion and the waitresses were very friendly and attentive. The ambiance was as expected for a wing place and was very clean and orderly. They have good specials and are great for lunch if you were shopping at the Outlets and needed to refuel!"

The Water Stop

★★★★☆ 3.9 (261) • $$

"*** really good choice for a higher end dinner in Marfa, TX ***The food is excellent! It really was fresh, carefully-prepared menu items.Let's get this out of the way...Oof...The knocked off star is primarily because we didn't know if it was seat yourself or an employee with assist you. My daughters begged me to stay when I said I was walking out after multiple employees walked past us yet made eye contact with me. Please address this issue because an older couple came in after us. Did their little wandering around thing like old folks do. Confronted a nice man who seemed like he was in charge who quickly apologized and got staff to assist us after standing around for over 10 minutes.Inside reminds me of my brother and sister-in-law's house with dark green paint and accents of black and gold. A mix of all kinds of antiques. Greenery. Gold chandeliers. Some eclectic items. An assortment of artwork was displayed in the larger dining area.However, we sat outside. The patio was delightful with a cool breeze. Luckily we had jackets since none of the heaters were operating. Rotisserie chicken was rotating on the grill near us. Service was friendly and attentive once we finally were seated. I'm admittedly staunch on the service side of businesses, but perhaps more so with a restaurant such as this one. DRINKS:+ Hot chamomile/lavender tea (they were out of green tea): $3.50+ Dr. Pepper in a glass bottle (my oldest loved it - so fresh, she said) $3.50+ Mystery Light cocktail $16 (I would definitely order it again.)+ Cheese board $24 (this was my meal... loved it!)+ Pasta Rossa (campanelle pasta in vodka sauce, topped with fresh mozzarella and basil pistachio pesto) $23 (my youngest ordered this... so delish. No meat, but pasta was cooked al dente. Amazing sauce!)+ Classic burger meal $17 (the fries were so yummy... my daughter didn't give me a chance to try her burger LOL)+ Two scoops of ice cream $13 (worth it... the girls allowed me to try their Cotton Candy and Peanut Butter Bailey's)Marfa, Texas, is a small town. Thus, restaurants seemingly run out of items here, so bear that in mind. Order a cocktail. Facilitate good conversation. Be merry. Forget the disappointments (for a while anyway... lol).Cards or cash accepted.Recommended for a casual or fancy dinner.RATING BREAKDOWNFood: 5 | Service: 3 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4"

"New owners. Very attractive interior. Prompt service and very friendly. We were three and we all had fish and chips. Very good. The menu is extensive and based on comments of other customers all the food is good. Two people said best food around."

Mona’s Kitchen

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"We felt like family walking into this restaurant. The service at this family owned restaurant was unbeatable and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. My husband and I had #2 combination plate and our son had a cheeseburger. I highly recommend this place."

Rustic Café

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (15)

"Sweet cream pancakes are fabulous. Love a place where breakfast is served all day!!!!"

Jett's Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (239) • $$

"We were staying at the Hotel Paisano in Marfa, where Jett's Grill is. I ordered a Tequila Sunrise to drink, Pistachio Fried Steak for my dinner and split a piece of Cheesecake for dessert. Everything was delicious. The Pistachio Fried Steak was tender and seemed to be the favorite as I saw several other patrons order it. The mash potatoes were delicious as was the broccoli. The gravy was a a bit spicy but it enhanced the flavor, would love to have a bit more gravy"

El Capitan Hotel Dining Room & Gopher Hole Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.8 (145) • $$

"Food, services, ambulance: all scored 5 *. Why drive the extra hours to El Paso? Relax, you're home sweet home in Van Horn!"

Aurellia’s Bottleshop & Brewhouse

★★★★☆ 4.2 (162) • $$

"We were seated right away, and the service was fast. I'm not a beer drinker. However, the house sangria and the spud buds were both delicious. I bought a 4 pack of spud buds to go, and they had the most adorable Mr. Potato head packaging. The hellboy pizza came out fast and was extremely tasty with a unique flavor. My boyfriend loved all the beers here."

Irmas Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (20) • $

"What a gem this little restaurant is! Amazing food, friendly and efficient service, and Irma... we felt like family, and she prepares the food herself with love and skill. Drive to Columbus and eat here. You will not regret it! I had ranchero eggs, and the combination of ingredients was delicious. Really good iced tea too!"

Coco.Miel

★★★★☆ 3.7 (168) • $$

"We went into the small restaurant to eat, but it is generally crowded. I found that they have an extension Coco Miel bar in the opposite sites of the convenience store. It is more of a bar atmosphere with music and a full bar. The good baby is the same and there is so much room there! It happened to e Halloween weekend, so the waitresses and bartenders were in costume which made things fun and festive. The food was really good! We had the pizza and chicken wings along with drinks. I'll definitely try their food again!"

Farmhouse Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (336) • $

"Cute, small little restaurant with eclectic decor. Our server was busy but very nice. We wanted some home cooked food instead of fast food on the way to Tombstone. My hubbies breakfast was really good. The vegetable soup is a bit odd but the cornbread muffin was amazing! My chicken cordon bleu was delicious! Crispy chicken with plenty of ham and cheese. Yum! Very reasonable prices. A solid four stars. Check it out."

A Bite of Belgium

★★★★☆ 4.2 (552) • $$

"I visited from Illinois and had the pleasure of dining here twice--once in June and again in October 2024. This was my first experience with Belgian cuisine, and I absolutely loved it!Service: 5 out of 5On both visits, the hosts and servers were exceptional. They were incredibly attentive and very friendly. While the host wasn't particularly smiley, they were still welcoming. The servers, on the other hand, were both friendly and cheerful.Ambiance: 4.5 out of 5The restaurant's decor is unique and cozy, creating a warm atmosphere. It's clearly a popular spot, as it fills up quickly. My only suggestion would be to reduce the number of tables by 10-20% to make it easier to navigate the dining room, especially when it's busy, as it can get quite loud.Food: 5 out of 5I made it a point to try Belgian-specific dishes on both visits. During my first visit, I had a Benedict with greens on the side--something not typically found in the U.S.--and it was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were high quality, and the presentation was lovely. They also keep the food covered until it reaches your table, ensuring it stays hot. On my second visit, I tried the Pork Green Chiles with eggs, hash browns, and a small Belgian waffle. The food was flavorful, hot, and very fresh. The waffle, in particular, was outstanding. Despite usually preferring savory breakfasts, I now know that I'll be leaning towards the waffles or other sweet breakfast options in the future--they're simply unmatched!Special coffee drinks: 3 out of 5I ordered a double Latte's at each visit. They were about $7+ each. They were flavorful, but a little too sweet. Unfortunately, also, they didn't come to the table "HOT." If I'm paying that much for a special coffee drink, it should be top tier. I look forward to coming back, I recommend this place to anyone! Try it!"

Thirteen 09 Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.7 (3) • $$

"Even though this is a full scale restaurant it's located right in the middle of the EPPC campus off Viscount. When you walk in you're transported to a delicious adventure of superb appetizers, salads, main courses of beef, chicken, fish or pork and fancy desserts. It's part of the culinary school so the servers are learning their craft while the sous chefs are teaching in the kitchen and maitre d hover nearby. The food is like nothing I've ever tasted anywhere in the city. I've taken my friends there and they've taken their spouses or parents and everyone loved it. A dinner that would cost you $50 per person anywhere else (say Cafe Central) is about $20 here. You get a four-course dinner and the atmosphere and will feel spoiled. Plus you're helping future restaurant staff learn their craft. They take reservations for dinner on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30 p.m."

Howard's Drive Inn

★★★★☆ 3.9 (27) • $

"We love Howards. They have the best burgers and onion rings in town but honestly everything we've ever eaten from there has been great. They also have soft ice so we love their drinks and they have snow cone syrup for the ice too."

Rustic Café

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"Mom and I stopped to eat around 11:30 am. Not crowded - maybe 3 tables with people seated. Very clean space. Prompt and friendly service. The food is delicious, fresh, and served in very generous portions. My western omelet needed no extra seasoning... They were perfect. Lots of room to park up close. Quiet enough to have conversations at the table."

"Stopped in for a quick afternoon snack. Great potato skins and great service by Gina!"

The Pit Stop 292 Cafe

"Nice little diner at the side of the road. Service was good. I had the special three hot cakes, bacon and scrambled eggs. My husband really enjoyed the breakfast burrito. Solid stop when on the area."

Sandy's Restaurant & RV PARK

★★★★☆ 4.3 (35) • $$

"I can only speak to the restaurant and not the RV Park. This is a bit out of the way, but will worth the drive. This was a great little place to enjoy breakfast and lunch. I went with a group of friends the other day and we arrived just as breakfast was ending and lunch was starting. About have of us ordered breakfast and the other half ordered lunch. Those that ordered breakfast had their food come out very fast. Those of us that ordered lunch, took just a tad longer. We all enjoyed the food, it was very tasty. The service was friendly and fantastic."

Country Pride - Travelcenters of America

"Lisa was out server and she was great. Super nice and attentive. We got the chicken fried steak and chicken sandwich. They were both delicious.The place was clean and food came out fast. We will be back the next time we pass through town!"

Black Bear Diner - El Paso

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (66)

"Had been waiting to visit this location since opening and we seemed to have picked a perfect day to do so. We initially tried for Fathers day but the wait was just a tad over what we felt comfortable doing. Also as a recommendation to other people, this is a diner, which means it is not that large of a place and large parties will take time to be seated as the accommodations are a tad lackluster in that sense. Their food as always was as delicious as their arizona locations that we frequent throughout the year. I had their Country Fried Steak eggs benedict and as always the portions were good and hearty. The fruit was deliciously crisp and in season and honestly everything felt and tasted great. The atmosphere is one you would expect and it does feel very active throughout your meal. Please remember they do have fudge as well as other goodies you can take afterwards. This is inside the Petro station where there used to be a Skillet Diner so please don't go in expecting this to be a large establishment like its other iterations. Also shoutout to Petro for awesome amenities while traveling."

Duets

★★★★☆ 3.7 (43) • $

"We had such a great time here! Driving up to duets can throw you off a bit but no worries, it's there! We ended up parking at the liquor store but there are plenty of spots along the front. Right as you walk in there are two pool tables and the bar is right next to them. There is plenty of seating at the bar. You go up about two steps and this is where the rest of the tables are set up and where the karaoke stage is.There is a Mexican food truck that caters and serves their food here! We ordered two orders of the steak tacos (5 tacos per plate) with everything on top. They are topped with mozzarella cheese, cilantro, onion, and a green salsa. The tacos were DELCIOUS!! The salsa is very spicy so ask for it on the side if you don't do spicy! My husband had a few beers (Stella Artois) and they run about $6 each. There was only one bartender manning the bar so there was a wait on drinks. There are plenty of board games to entertain yourself or just sit and watch people sing their hearts out! We will be back!"

The El Paso Wing Factory

★★★★☆ 3.8 (70) • $$

"I have been meaning to come here for some time. It has a bar vibe but has a menu that is family friendly. The service was pretty quick. We ordered the cucumbers and also the Buffalo mozzarella sticks. Both were great. I got 6 street taco style wings and the Cesar salad with brisket. The wings were cooked well but I didn't like the toppings very much. The salad was good. We finished with a fried Twinkie. I hate twinkies but this was soooo good. We also got margarita which were made very well. I will be going again. Just watch your step as the ground is uneven entering the building."

Bosque Brewing - Las Cruces Public House

★★★★☆ 4 (131) • $$

"The food was good, the beer was fabulous. The service was also very good, our waiter was very friendly."

Gilbert’s restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (17)

"Great lil spot for Mexican food...breakfast & lunch only. I've been here several times, and they're consistently serving up great food. They're not listed on any websites and don't advertise but they're right down the road from the Love's Truck Stop. If you're in Van Horn and want solid Mexican food. Come check them out!"

Penny's Diner

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (184) • $

"Great food in a beautiful part of west Texas. Great prices. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area."

Roadrunner Kafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (85) • $$

"Who would have thought the KOA has the best breakfast restaurant. There's not a lot of choice in Wilcox for breakfast so we thought we'd try and reviews were good. Our server was the chefs daughter and she was as sweet as can be. I ordered the Roadrunner breakfast with my eggs over medium, most restaurants can't seem to get over medium eggs right but the chef nailed it perfectly!! My husband ordered the western omelet and it was delicious. The blueberry pancakes with prickly pear syrup were divine and huge! The other thing that needs to be good is the coffee and it was. I also recommend the home fries, they were crunchy on the outside and creamy soft inside, addictive!! Great food and great service!!"

Barrio Eats & Drinks

★★★★☆ 4.2 (74)

"I was in El Paso for work, and after a long day of facilitating presentations, I was in the mood for some good Mexican food. Also, it had to be on the way to the hotel. We found Barrio, the menu looked good, and it was on the way to the DoubleTree. The first thing that caught my attention was the water carafe. They were all different and made the table look classy.The Barbacoa caught my attention. In California, it is challenging to find Barbacoa Norteña. The plate is served with rice, beans, tortillas, onions, cilantro, and delicious salsa. I also ordered a cup of Sopa de Fideo.You would think that after all that food I would be full, but wrong! I had enough room for dessert. We ordered Churros with strawberry and pecan ice cream and pecan pieces. DELICIOUS!It was so wonderful that I went back the next day and ordered the same thing. My friend ordered the Mole, which I tried, and it was so yummy! This is another place to return to on my next trip to El Paso!"

Rix's Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.3 (35) • $$

"Friendly environment with touch tunes, pool tables and a full bar. Staff is attentive and it is in a great location."

Pop's Better Burger

★★★★☆ 4.4 (18) • $

"Exactly as the name suggests, this is a small town burger joint filled with coca cola memorabilia and advertisements. I got the regular cheeseburger and fries. The burger patty was thin and the bun was incredibly oily. So oily that the wrapper it came in was nearly see-through. All in all, the burger was nothing special, but solidly made and hit the spot of this weary traveler. The fries were crinkle fries that were a bit too soft and limp for my taste."

Single Jack Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (6)

"If you want a great selection of beers on tap for a cheap price and some decent grub, Single Jack Restaurant should be on your radar.The have a full bar, but if you're looking for good beers on tap, you can get options like Dargoon IPA, Blue Moon, and Orange Blossom. 16 oz will cost you $4 while a 25 oz will cost you $1 more. A flight of 4 samples will also cost you $5. They also serve moscow mules and other speciality cocktails.Single Jack has two menus, where a majority of the options are themed around mining. They have classic options like pasta, burgers, wings, and sandwiches. They also serve enchiladas, tacos, nachos, and some other classic bar foods. If you want something more substantial, there are steak options. When I went to this restaurant, we all ordered the Boss's Burger, which is a homemade beef patty with onions and jalapenos mixed in. It comes with classic toppings on the side, free cheese options, and 2 free extra sides. Any addition toppings will cost $1/topping. It then comes with either french fries or curly fries. I chose the Boss's Burger with pepper jack cheese, bacon and guacamole with curly fries. They give a substantial amount of curly fries with the burger and garlic aioli on the side. The patty was large, cooked well-done, and slightly dry. Service was a little slow, but there was only one waitress.If you have plenty of time and want to grab some beers and food with friends, this is a great option for you!"

Taylor Freeze

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (16)

"What a treat! I had the best cheeseburger I've had in a long time. Every bit of it was handmade to perfection. It was not greasy or sloppy. They put just the right amount of ketchup, mustard, lettuce and tomato on it. Just like I would make at home. And the fries! Not skinny, not thick but just the right size and crispness! And they were still warm when I got to the bottom of the tray! They didn't even need ketchup. Taylor Freeze was worth the trip to Safford, AZ! Going back for their soft serve ice cream after our afternoon trip Gila Box Riparian National Conservation Area. Don't think we'll be disappointed!"

JD's Grill House

★★★☆☆ 3 (77) • $$

"Very, very, very good burgers and fries. I chose the western and hand cut fries. Those fries were like liquid gold. Super yummy and fresh. The burger was lip smacking delicious. To top it off, our server was super sweet and down to earth. She was very helpful and offered lots of advice and was thorough with the best food off the menu. She checked on us often and it felt like we were her only table. It is very loud though so don't eat inside if you feel that you want to have long drawn out conversations."

Lupita's Place

★★★★☆ 3.9 (124) • $

"Came here the evening before and it was closed. Came back in the morning and had an excellent breakfast experience. Service was super friendly and our breakfast burritos were delicious. Come hungry because these are definitely overstuffed burritos. My wife and I could have shared one. Wrapped up our leftovers, but them in the fridge and reheated them for lunch."
