Great place for lunch, breakfast and coffee, this was our go to place while visiting the area. Seating inside and outside. Not a fancy place, but a good local cafe to get food and drinks while in the area. Staff were nice and food was good. Great New Mexico and American fare. No issues, would come back again.

Hole in the wall worth visiting. The restaurant is small, and old. We were greeted immediately. They pushed two tables together for us right away. The service was fast and friendly. The food was outstanding. The chips were still warm! My chicken tacos were delicious. Others in our party enjoyed chile rellenos and stuffed sopapillas. YUM!Wheelchair accessibility: It would be really tricky to get to the restrooms in a wheelchair.

I had read several reviews that said there was no restroom which really angers me because I believe any place that takes your food that doesn't allow you to wash your hands or relieve yourself is sadly lacking in service. So I was not expecting much. Let me say this, there are now functional clean restrooms available for all customers so those reviews must have been made during a time of construction or renovation. The servers were the most courteous attentive women and they all remind you of your mother or your aunt, your sister or your cousin. The food was delicious and it arrived promptly. I was very pleased. My only complaint was that the serving of hash browns seemed really small. But other than that one thing I was very pleased. If I were to go through trauma again the Elkhorn would be my first stop

Cool little local place with history almost like stepping back in time to 1950. Good food and kind staff.

Comfy little place. Comfort food when you need it. The ladies on the floor are service oriented. Tip them well. Breakfast and lunch.

Fantastic cafe!! Had breakfast here 2 mornings in a row and everything about this cafe is top notch! Friendly and prompt service, amazing food and great atmosphere! We really enjoyed this cafe and will be back! Highly recommend!
Awesome little place! I was genuinely surprised to discover authentic sweet tea this far west. I am from North Carolina and the sweet tea that they have here could compete with anything in the south. The food was good too and the atmosphere was relaxing.

Visited there while in Chama. Great place to stop for a bite, we had breakfast, I had eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast. Loved it, service was great, very attentive. They have excellent homemade pies but were out that day. Take note very outdoorsy and great hospitality.

A quaint cafe with excellent home-cooked food, associated with a historic fising lodge in Chama NM. My wife and I shared a large grilled chicken, bacon, spinach wrap, with fries on the side. Ask for some of their green chile sauce to put over the fries. Just great! And at a great price - we had the one entree and two soft drinks for a total of $26, including tax and tip.

$20.04 for a chicken fried steak, fries (because they were out of mashed potatoes), a table spoon of cold corn, and a small glass of lemon aid. No bread, no salad, no extras. 40 minutes to get the food (served on a styrofoam plate). Credit card fee of $0.79.Never going there again.

Taking a long trip and this was a Glorious stop for food. They may not break speed records, but the food is worth the wait.
