Casey's Restaurant — Restaurant in Hobbs

I was in town for training (from Odessa, TX) and saw this very cute place with amazing reviews. I was so excited to eat here, the place looked amazing!! UNTIL the very rude lady with the breathing machine waited on us. 45 mins had passed before we asked about our order, granted we were the only table waiting for food. She aggressively lectured us on how the "oilfield" call in orders had priority over the dine in customers and we should expect to wait 40 mins or more before our food is ready, and that this is not a fast food restaurant. After she went on and on, she ended it with WELCOME TO TEXAS (even though we were in New Mexico) All this chatter was happing while our food was waiting in the pick up window. This totally ruined my experience. As I was cashing out you can still hear her bicker to the cashier in the kitchen area about us. All this happened because we asked how much longer for our 3 breakfast...

So customer service is one thing but these guys have taken it to a new level. I was in town working so I decided to give them a try. I ordered my burger and sat down to eat.

So I reached over and shook her hand and gave her thanks. I have paid it forward several times since then. I hope if you have read this, you will go and give them a little business as they are just plain awesome. Keep on doin...

The first clue you should not eat at Casey’s Restaurant is that it appears to be located in an Indoor Flea Market for the Damned. The food tastes as if it was prepared by someone wholly uneducated in food prep in even the most generic of ways. It is as if they saw glossy photos of things like burgers and burritos in a magazine and attempted to recreate them using only the most recognizable ingredients and a similar color pallete. There is, in fact, thousands of items of Coca Cola memorabilia on the walls and shelves. However, combined with the low ceiling and wood paneled decorative scheme, this serves only to remind you that one day you will lie dead in your own casket, an end that could only be hastened by eating the food at Casey’s Restaurant. Also there wasn’t...
