We read about this on line and it didn't disappoint. We split a Hatch bison burger with onion rings and a fried chili. It was all delicious. I had a prickly pear margarita.

They have the BEST green chile cheeseburger! And the waiters are always so friendly.

The Mine Shaft Tavern in Madrid is a fun stop along the Turquoise Trail. It's one of the best venues for catching local bands and the historic atmosphere gives it a unique charm. Plus, it's just steps away from some great local museums and art galleries, that make the visit even more worthwhile. The menu looked impressive too — we came for the music and already had a dinner plan so I didn't get to try their green chile cheeseburger. Next time!

Food is simple and straightforward, but executed to perfection.

I have had great meals and experiences at the Mine Shaft. Recently, I had the brisket tacos and a wonderful amber ale. Pure heaven.

Absolutely Unacceptable – Worst Service Ever This was hands down one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. We waited over an hour for a burger that never showed up, only to find out the staff had completely forgotten to place our order. No apology, no urgency—just a half-hearted response and then they had a different waiter re-enter it like it was no big deal. To make things worse, when we asked how this even happened, they laughed in our faces. Disrespectful, disorganized, and downright insulting. Save yourself the time and go literally anywhere else. We were not the only table to experience such poor service.

Sad, sat for thirty minutes just waiting for the wait staff to take our order.

I've never gone back to this place. it was an amazing place, at one time. The food had hair cooked into the fries! The server never came back to check on me and offer anything. I only ate half the burger and left the fries after finding the hair. The server only came back to slam the bill on the table and left without saying a word. I pass tbrough Madrid all the time, but I'll never stop there again.

I was wanting to come to Trapt show but I guess The Mine Shaft a bunch of cowards. How weak do you have to be to get offended by a joke on twitter? And this country is great because of freedom of speech and that doesn’t just mean speech you like or agree with. This is pathetic. I was excited thought the venue looked cool.
Horrible service. The server completely ignored us. She showed us our table and then never returned. After about 20+ mins of sitting there we decided to leave. The people that sat behind us made a comment that we had been there for a while. The server was busy but she also had time to talk to people she knew and other patrons. We felt alienated and like our presence there was an inconvenience. Needless to say, we'll never go back.
On a good note, the owner was quick to respond to our review and offered to make it right which was appreciated but a free meal doesn't justify the hour long drive out there.

Great place to stop and eat, you might even get there and find some local bands playing! The food was excellent, and the server was knowledgeable about the town and gave me some good recommendations for local arts and crafts. I would definitely take this back route to Santa Fe just to stop here again!

Best stop in Madrid; authentic Southwest experience. Lots of seats. We were able to sit without a reservation. Good sized menu. Happy with our choices. Band setting up on a large stage, but couldn't hang around to wait for them to start.....
