We started with the Chips with Chorizo Cheese Dip, delicious. I couldn't decide, so just ordered a bacon cheeseburger and it was the best i have had in a long time. The flavor on their hot-wings was fantastic. Our server, and the others that checked on us while we sat and ate were outstanding.
great food, nice atmosphere, outstanding service.

“I was very pleasantly surprised by this Appleby's. Unlike the former Appleby's on the other side of Las Cruces, this restaurant has a lovely, pleasing atmosphere. It's tucked away in a corner just off the beaten past next to a hotel. It seemed so relaxing and refreshing to be there. I went to visit with a small group of friends and only had iced tea because I wasn't hungry. But the food that the others ordered looked and smelled delicious. The service was excellent. I also went during an off hour time, Sunday afternoon, so it wasn't crowded then. The restaurant seating is around a seated bar in the center. I'm sure it's possible for the place to become noisier during peak hours. But it seemed like such a pleasant place that I'm looking forward to checking that out during a lunchtime soon.“

“I stopped in for lunch on a Friday during lunch hour. I was seated in the section of a server named “Whitney”. She had a few other tables in addition to mine.
She was one of the kindest, most attentive servers I have had in a long while. Very polite, very exact, and very kind.
My sandwich was better than average and my fake beers were nice and cold, but her service is what inspired me to take the time to leave a positive review.
Well done all around Farley’s!!!“

“Service & food generally good. Beer is cold! Sometimes it takes too long to get the game put on the TV. After game or when there is no game they often play head knocking hip hop or rap way too loud or real trashy language where you can barely talk to your neighbor. I usually leave when that happens as do others.. We miss the oldies or 70s,v80, or 90s rock or rock or alt rock videos like they used to play. Many in there have told me the same thing.
Keep up the beer specials and food specials please.

Parking: Usually plenty of parking however going out or in from the back you always have to deal with huge potholes always which wreck your car. Who's responsible????
Also I go.less.lately because there are the same beggers almost every time on the sidewalk by the front door. They have a big black dog who lunged at me, growling last time I went. Could be a liability or keep people away.“

I had the Beef Fajitas that came with a three tiered tower of salsa, sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, beans smothered with cheese, rice and tortillas . The food was delicious, the corn chips with hot salsa was delicious. The place was very comfortable, the wait staff was attentive without being overbearing. The food was hot and generous portions.
Do yourself a favor and visit this establishment where the food is delicious and the customer service is excellent.“

I want to go and try some of their other dishes because previously we had been disappointed but not anymore.“

“Excellent service. Alexis introduced herself, which you never hear anymore. She was very helpful and accommodating. The food was good and made right. Only negatives would be that I was offered green salsa since there wasn't green Tabasco. However, I was never told that I would be charged $1.49 for this. It was removed from the bill. The meal was pricey, but the service made up for that. Thank you.

Parking: Cramped parking next to / in the same parking lot of a hotel. Right of the interstate and open 24 hours. Easy to get back on the interstate.
