Legal Tender Saloon & Eating House

Went to Lamy to buy a sofa and ended up with a gem of a restaurant.
Great food, service and atmosphere.
Highly recommend this place!

besides food, back in the day. you can't get more authentic western then this place. My greatest joy was playing music 🎶 on their old stage, and by the railroad tracks and station(Depot) across the street. 😎 miss and love this place ❤️

Lunch for 6. Seated in the area called the Stage. Fine service. $100 plus for my wife and I. Trout for her, chicken liver pate for me. 3 glasses of wine. I don't know how they keep up staffing being so relatively remote.

Beautiful.... old restaurant 1881

Very unique restaurant. Nothing like it anywhere in my experience
We love the Sunday drive back to rt 14, many options

OMG one of the greatest Places I have ever been! The atmosphere is incredible! We showed up 10 minutes before they opened and there was a line out the door. Didn’t take long to get to us once they opened though! We were in the middle of nowhere and all of a sudden we were somewhere! Somewhere very special.! We had the French toast special and should have shared. It was so much food. I was torn, so I took the mushroom soup to go and let me tell you, that was one of the greatest things I have eaten In my life! The chef truly leaves it all on the plate! I don’t know how you find a chef like this and get him to come out to the middle of nowhere like this But let me just say WOOOOOOW WE ARE BLOWN AWAY! I would drive five hours for this

I haven't been to Legal Tender in decades. New owner and chef, it was on my bucket list to try. My wife and I went with eight others for the Santa Fe Foodies group, and we were all very impressed. I decided to try their Green Chile Cheeseburger after our waitress informed me it was different from the 'sister' restaurant Cafe Fina (that burger is solid, but I was looking for something new). Indeed, it is different, better, and quite good, up there at the top of my list with Santa Fe Bite, Jambo Bite, and The Mine Shaft (where I always get the Wagyu burger). The meat was cooked perfectly (Med rare), very tasty, and had a great char. The bun, as were the condiments (Tomatoes, red onions, and lettuce), was excellent. Very lovely green chile and Tillamook cheddar. This is one to try if you're looking for a great GCCB. My wife had the Pan Seared Ruby Trout, which was very good. Some at the table were worried it would be 'too fishy', but no, it was excellent, and several others ordered it with approval. The broccoli that came with the dish was delicious. We also had the Creamy Mushroom Soup, which was rich, thick, and filled with mushroom flavors. Service was very good; thank you, Zayra A, for your burger recommendation. Table of 10: all the food arrived at the same time, and the kitchen knows what it is doing. I hope to return often, the food is very good, the ambience is a hoot. DO NOTE that the days they are open are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This place is pretty big; we sat in a room outside the bar, which was hopping. If you're into bars, you'll like it, but if not, ask to sit in another room.

Beautiful historic building, wonderful super nice staff, and great food!

Was so much better than I expected. Super friendly staff, amazing atmosphere and so many interesting things to see. Great food and Dessert. We will definitely be back!

This place is so cool! We go for a a hike at nearby Galisteo Reserve and then head here on a weekend day. The quesadillas & the wings are incredible. Friendly staff.

Best green chile burger in NM . Hands down. Really cool historic building. Great service.

Fantastic saloon - literally where the old west starts - ask for Richard at the bar - except bartender and just!!

The food is so good. Love the bartenders and waiters. Beautiful atmosphere too.

Good band, good food, good service. Limited menu but great locals vibe.

Good food, nice staff, short but good menu
