“Fantastic fresh food. Amazing Oasis salad. I appreciated this salad after not-so-great food while I was traveling. Family run. Super service. Delicious. I am definitely returning when I'm in Gallup. The perfect place to stop for excellent fresh food when you are traveling. Many thanks to owners.”

“Edge Pizza is a great spot for pizza lovers! The pizza was baked to perfection with just the right amount of char, giving it a nice crunch. The toppings were fresh and delicious.
The staff was very friendly, adding to the welcoming atmosphere, and the store was super clean.”

“While traveling from Denver to Phoenix on a long road trip, we stumbled upon Westend Donut & Deli for lunch—and what a hidden gem it turned out to be! The service was impressively quick, and the sandwiches were absolutely incredible. Packed with perfectly portioned, flavorful meats, and served on soft, warm bread toasted to perfection, every bite was a delight. The friendly and welcoming staff made the experience even better. If you’re in the area, don’t miss the chance to stop by this deli—you won’t regret it!”

“What a wonderful Cafe owned by a lovely family who are happy and give great service. They were busy with the breakfast crowd but we didn't mind the wait and our delicious food came really fast. My hubby said the coffee was very good. It was a treat to have sopapillas since it has been while. It's a very clean and well run business. 5+ stars from us traveling from Nebraska to Arizona. Stop in and enjoy it yourself.”

“Our server, Mary was friendly, engaging and very attentive. Her recommendations were spot on. During our time there, at least 3 other servers came to check on us as well. Food was plentiful and delicious. The Stuffed Soapilla and Fajitas were the best! Highly recommend, tell Mary we sent you!!”
Mexican • $
“Always delicious! Staff was friendly even on a super busy day and got us seated as quickly as possible. Wait staff is very courteous and bus staff is quick! Food was delicious! Our family friends who came back had been dreaming of their fajitas and said they were every bit as delicious as they remembered! They even handled the to-go order well, it was timed so it came out as we were finishing up. Highly recommend, you can't go wrong whether it's their new Mexican food or traditional American staples like a burger or patty melt (get wet fries (fries with brown gravy) for a Gallup staple).”

“From the second I walked in I was welcomed into the loves travel center and the female on duty at subway greeted me and got right to my order. She made my sandwich and was friendly . It was $12.00 for a 6 inch turkey sandwich meal because I got the drink too with chips. I think that's a little expensive for a sandwich but I guess everything's gone up lately. I will definitely return in the near future.”

Mexican • $
“I have commented some years before about this place. The Menudo then was out of this world but with the changings that have happened, the taste is not there as before. The fullness of the flavor is weak. The times that I have been there, the beef tripe is hardly in the servings, very small pieces. The price you pay for is more for the posole. I hate to say but as being a cook myself, the cook that was there before made it really good compared to now. The service is good thought.”

“Wow! I dont think I have EVER experienced customer service as good as this in Gallup. Patterson and Charmayne delivered stellar customer service that made our visit to Subway extra enjoyable. They made us feel like a mullion bucks when we walked in. Nothing we asked was beyond them or something they couldn't do for us. They had a great attitude and I didn't feel like I was a problem as a customer. Attention SUBWAY! You don’t want to lose those two!”

Just as importantly, McKayla was an exceptional host and the restaurant was spotless. Watched McKayla clean the games and the windows, too.

“Wow! It’s rare that you can find a spot such as Avalon, being my first time here I was hesitant. As the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover rings true here.Having a simple menu that don’t have you stress trying to figure out what to get (being an indecisive person this awesome), the fast service made the visit even more great. My parents usually don’t like eating out in Gallup due to vendors coming every minute as your mouth has food in your mouth, Avalon’s no vendor policy allowed for a more private and eased meal.”

“My family and I chose this restaurant because we enjoy Chinese food buffets and we were traveling and wanted something quick. The exterior of the restaurant looked a little run down, but the inside decor was pretty and the booths felt clean and private. Unfortunately, the men’s restroom wasn’t clean: one stall was out of order, and one stall had a door that didn’t lock well. The women’s restroom was clean though.
We were seated quickly and greeted by our friendly server right away. There were a lot of options on the buffet to choose from, but some of them looked like they had been sitting for quite a while and some didn’t taste very good. I was hoping to have a salad from the salad bar, but the lettuce was brown, so I skipped that part. I enjoyed the steamed buns and General Tso’s chicken the most. At the end of our meal, our server brought us each an individual serving of vanilla ice cream which was a fun surprise!”
