I have to admit that chicken is not my favorite meal although a relative loves it. I would not recommend this KFC since the food has been only acceptable and the orders have often been incorrect. I worry about the cleanliness since the chicken warmer looked as if it needed a cleaning...perhaps I have been on busy nights. I rate this KFC below other chicken places in nearby Roswell.
9. The Paddock Cafe
Reviewed By grog426
This is a restaurant which caters to the oil field workers and others who do not normally travel into town. It is quite good as a cafe but far from fine dining. The buffet is quite good and the food is equally good for a cafe for the people working in the area. It is a popular restaurant for breakfast before going to work and as a lunch spot. It will be crowded during the noon hour. A great cafe for large servings at a very reasonable price. Good food and and excellent value.

Stopped for lunch on our way to las cruces. Nothing extraordinary about their usual clean facility, fast friendly service and fresh ingredients for their many sandwiches. What was extraordinary was the check out person taking a dollar out of the tip jar to complete our transaction. Hubby had left his wallet in the car and I was a dollar short with my pocket money. We quickly got a dollar from car to reimburse him but his fast generosity left us with a good feeling.

Had some really good Mexican food. Hidden in the back corner of a strip male is a gem of a family restaurant. The place is far from fancy, but the good food and service more than make up for it.

I would have given this three stars but the waitress was very, very nice. I was randomly passing through town and stopped in for lunch. I was asked what I wanted to eat before I was even seated, let alone had time to look at a menu. Oh well, ordered the brisket. The brisket was good but the fries were terrible. They had been sitting for quite some time. The waitress was very on the ball. Borderline too on the ball. It was like a race or something. Decent meal, I'd eat here again if in town but I wouldn't go out of my way to get back here either. Oh - do not get the coffee. YUCK

Both steaks were over cooked and therefore a bit dry. Baked potatoes were not very hot and butter packets served with them were very cold and hard. Salad bar was okay. Service was friendly but not very attentive. The restaurant does not serve alcohol. Our meal cost $55 and wasnât very good.

We were on our way home from Carlsbad, the restaurant we had planned on stopping at was closed. So we stopped at trusty McAlister's. I got the Memphian, my husband got the Big Nasty. Our grand daughter got the kids turkey and cheese, not toasted like she likes. We eat fairly regularly at the McAlister's in Albuquerque. Everything I've ever had here was good. Better than a fast food burger! The tea is really good. I like the peach tea the best. The cookies are good. The potato salad is good. The loaded baked potatoes are good but I like the sandwiches and salads better. I love it that the kid's meal is 99 cents. Service is good. Sign up for their app and get rewards. They don't have a drive through. You order at the counter and they bring your food.Thank you for coming by and letting us know about your experiences! We are happy to hear that you have enjoyed just about everything and look forward to seeing you again soon!

Stopped by for a quick bite. The prices are reasonable and the counter service was fast and responsive. I didn't care for the type of beef used in the barbecue. I like lean brisket while this meat was very fatty. I gave more than half of my sandwich to my husband. The atmosphere is very cafe casual. There were lots of oilfield workers eating there and they seemed to be enjoying their meals. There were two very loud and obnoxious women seated next to our booth. Next time that I have to go to Artesia, I'd like to try someplace else.

We did not have a reservation, but staff was able to seat us outside. Printed on the menu it basically states food will take a while to come out, this is true, it took a long time. Once our food was served we were instantly disappointed. My husband ordered chicken fried chicken with creamed corn. The chicken was like a piece of chicken you would find on a kfc chicken sandwich and the cream corn was whole kernels of corn with chunks of white stuff in it and was cold. I had the red enchiladas, for 13 dollars I got 2 bland enchiladas with beans spread out very thinly on a huge plate. My 13 yr old got the bacon burger, he was starving, it was gone in 3 bites. He doesnât answer questions so I can only assume it was ok. Over all we found this place to be overpriced and bland.
