We go to this cute little restaurant regularly. The menu is pretty good and they always have specials. Plenty of food, you won't leave hungry. Prices are fair. I love the shot glass collection!!

Nice little out-of-the+way place just across the road from the railroad tracks (but there's no Alive). Stop in

OMG! I've lived in this area for several years and I don't know why it took me so long to try out this place!
I've dined from Europe to Central America. The posh places, we'll, they may have 'class' but you've gotta be special for me to write a review.
I found The Patio easily with my maps app. If you are traveling through on I 10 it is worth the diversion. City of Rocks State Park is not too far back towards Deming, if you are RVing and there are several motels in Deming as well. If I were traveling through I'd plan to stay two nights just to see the Mimbres Museum in Deming and drive to Hurley for early lunch. They close early so check out their hours. I'd enjoy a short desert hike at City of Rocks after checking out the geological history at their visitor Center. Then it's off to a relaxing evening and a sweet rest before hitting the Road again. Silver City has some nice places to visit and the Gila Cliff Dwellings are a drive north in the beautiful mountains.
OK back to the Patio. The Townhall is to its left. I'll post photos because the sign is not easy to see especially in the glaring desert sun.
On entry it's curious choice of decorating begs explaination! There are walls of soda bottles. Cleverly placed are paintings by the owner's late sister from Albuquerque. There are collections of so many varieties, it's impossible to see them all. I forgot to ask if there was a Moxie bottle there. The openess of the interior dining area reminded me of dining in old Mexico away from the tourist traps. The settings were placed wide apart for more intimate dining or in close for more family & congenial dining.
I was greeted immediately on entering even while my glasses adjusted to the comfortable light.
Drink request was quickly taken as I was seated. I chose a barbecue plate (platter) to follow a garden salad. I'll post a grub photo, too. The mound of potatoes were covered with a rich beef gravy. Two pieces of perfectly prepared toast, bowl of veggies, and two slices of beef brisket with BBQ sauce was served even before I could look up from my salad. The brisket was delicious by itself. With the sauce it was worth moaning over! (BTW...the owner says it comes from a special place in Chicago that's been making it nearly 100 years.) Fans of Sweet Baby Ray's would find it hard to beat. OK. So I asked to take photos for my review and was encouraged to do so. As I got busy the waitress asked if I'd like some photos of their Patio. It was a green wonderland oasis in the middle of the desert. I could not stop photographing! I got lost in all the turns and cubbies and had to ask the way out. This is NOT your local restaurant with a couple of chairs on the sidewalk. Beautiful settings with arbors covered with plants with Talavera pieces interspersed had their own stoves for keeping warm on a chill night. This place tops most of the places I've enjoyed from London to New Market, Cambridge, Athens, Germany, Teguscigalpa, Tela Beach in Honduras, to New York to California! I believe it's because it was such an unexpected gem in a little mining town I've dismissed driving by hundreds of time. The 180 bypass will miss most of Hurley, but streets and roads are well marked. Don't be surprised by the divided streets with lovely walkways under large shade trees.
I'll post as many of the photos they'll allow. The art by the sister is beautiful and enhances the atmosphere of the Patio. Oh, yes, I almost forgot to mention there a several restrooms and the whole place is ADA friendly.

This place is so amazing. I always make sure it sit outside and enjoy the patio. Makes me want to copy it for my backyard. The food is always amazing and plenty. Always comes out hot, and the flavors are yummm! The service is stellar and with a smile!
Historic place with a small shop that has authentic New Mexico products like salsa, green chili and chili powder. The dining room is clean, the staff is friendly. The food is genuine, homemade, New Mexico comfort food.
