The Carlsbad Caverns Underground Lunch Room is a dining option located within the Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico. Visitors to the park can access the lunch room after exiting the caverns through the elevators, which takes them to the park's bookstore and gift shop area.
The lunch room is part of the Carlsbad Caverns Trading gift shop and grill, though some reviewers note it has not been open in recent years. The gift shop offers a variety of souvenirs like t-shirts, hoodies, gemstones, and jewelry, though prices can be high. The cafe/grill within the complex provides a place for visitors to eat, with menu items like sandwiches, salads, snacks, and drinks.
While the lunch room offers a convenient dining option within the cave system, reviews indicate the food selection is quite limited, with just a few sandwich and salad options available. Prices for items like sandwiches, chips, baked goods, and sodas are also described as being on the higher end.
Overall, the Carlsbad Caverns Underground Lunch Room provides a chance to refuel after exploring the massive caverns, though guests may find better food options outside the park. The gift shop offers an assortment of souvenirs, but can also be pricey. For those visiting Carlsbad Caverns, the lunch room serves as a practical, if limited, dining choice.
