"The food was okay - nothing to write home about. The unique thing was the waffle cup fruit bowl. Otherwise most of the things were pretty standard. The biscuits was a bit on the sweet side and so was the gravy (it was also lacking in sausages in the gravy).
The breakfast taco bar was something unique and the ingredients were fresh. The omelette bar had a good selection of things that you could add to your omelette.. but the omelette was not well made - slightly on the greasy side.
The fresh waffle and pancake bar was unique - but the service could be slow at times.
Service is one area that was poor... often the cups was empty and the waitress did not come over to the table to pick up the empty plates.

"Really nothing special in my opinion. We were there between 7 and 8 PM and there were only 3 tables of diners.
Food was okay, but nothing that would make me make a special trip.

"We went to Rio Ranch to celebrate my wife's birthday and truly enjoyed the entire evening from appetizers to the special birthday dessert they provided. We judge a place by the fried calamari if they have it, and it is outstanding at Rio Ranch! Out table had the mahi mahi as well as ribyeye, filet, and beef medallions and shrimp. All were prepared just right and thoroughly enjoyed. The special sauce for the steaks was served on the side instead of spread on the steak and that is how I would suggest getting it. The entrees were nothing short of fantastic and then there came a fresh baked bithday cobbler, ice cream and spoons for all. This reatuarant is defintely worth a visit."

"This is a favorite casual restaurant of mine .....usually breakfast or lunch . We went at 10:30am on Saturday....after having coffee, we went to the buffet line.....I felt like it was a little empty....but I know we were late! What was there was good...not great!
As usual, the service was great and the ambiance was wonderful!
