Friendly, attentive, and full of genuine warmth, the entire team goes out of their way to ensure you’re comfortable and well taken care of.

At Cheii’s every dish is cooked with tradition and pride. The steaks & lamb dishes are rich and satisfying, the frybread is perfectly golden and fluffy (amazing with honey), and the green chile packs the right amount of heat and soul. You can taste the love in every bite.

A special shout out to Crystal, Keisha & Alexis!!!“

“Stopped by Earl’s while traveling along historic Route 66 in Gallup, and it was a fun place to experience. The service was quick, attentive, and friendly from start to finish, and the festive atmosphere gave the restaurant a welcoming local feel.
One unique touch was that local Native American artisans stopped by the tables to offer handmade jewelry and artwork, making the visit feel like more than just a meal.
The food was average overall. The salsa leaned sweeter than I prefer, and the green chile was fairly mild and lacked the flavor I was hoping for. On the plus side, the ranch dressing was delicious and paired well with the meal.
If you’re looking for a convenient stop with fast service, a lively atmosphere, and a chance to support local artists while traveling Route 66, Earl’s is worth checking out.“

“We stopped by for lunch around 2pm and were the only ones there.
Michael greeted us and was our waiter. We both got cheeseburgers from the value menu. The music playlist was amazing. The food was great! The fries and onion rings were spot on. I guess New Mexico doesn’t follow the bland food is better mantra like other places. Kudos to Michael.“
