Traveling across country and pulled off the interstate to take a break here. Got a couple of breakfast burritos to go. Food was obviously freshly prepared and perfectly seasoned. Service was super friendly.
We go through Tucumcari about 8 times each year - 4 on our way to Kansas City and Minneapolis and 4 on the way back. When we stay in Tucumcari, Kix is the only place we even consider for breakfast. Yes, the hotels serve breakfast, but ....... At Kix, the eggs are cooked the way you like them, the home made sausage is wonderful, biscuits are good sized and fluffy, bacon is crisp, pancakes are plentiful, the gravy is spicy (oh, baby is it good), and there is a plethora of New Mexican and other southwest dishes available. Service is always friendly and efficient. Perhaps, best of all, prices are such you won't even think about regretting not having that hotel "included in the price of your room" serve yourself, clean your own table, mediocre food concoction they call breakfast. Especially if you're old enough to remember any of Route 66, you need to be here to get your Kix.
Food was delicious and the staff was friendly and fast! Fun atmosphere reminiscent of days in the past. Get a cinnamon roll!
Wow! Best roadside stop, such a unique atmosphere and delicious diner food! We had cheeseburgers and waffle fries. Superb! The waitress was great, attentive and helpful. We also had to try the dessert cakes, yum!!! Do yourself a favor and stop by. The owner is wonderful! Will bookmark to stop again!
On a Sunday, it was well worth the wait. We sat at the counter and the kitchen staff were very entertaining. The atmosphere is fun and our waitress was great even under pressure.
Passing throug, got gas and noticed it was packed. Stopped and sat at the bar. Busy but got served right away with menu and drink. Took my order and food was placed in front of me pretty soon. Sat in front of the kitchen and it was a hot bed of cooks getting orders out. Ambiance is playing up the Route 66 with old license plates and souvenirs. Clean and well run. Would hit it again!!
66 Themed retro diner. A bit too warm for me. nice hometown-style service, food came out fast and with a bit of attitude from the cook (which added color). Good diner-style burger and fries. Lots to look at but a little worn down too.
We arrived in Tucumcari at dinner time and looked for a place we could get carry-out vegetarian food. Kix on 66 popped up. They don't have an on-line ordering system, but we were staying nearby and just drove over to place our order. As others have mentioned, Kix is decorated like one would expect a Route 66 diner to be. The staff was friendly, and there is a good selection of food. I ordered the cheese omelette with hash browns, and my partner (omnivore) got a turkey sandwich served on toast with a side of chips. The restaurant packaged our food well and provided utensils. The food itself was good. We'd stop here again on our way through town.
