Butter Smith Kitchen & Pies — Restaurant in Las Cruces

This was my first time at Butter Smith and it was an excellent experience from the moment we walked in. We were warmly greeted by Genny, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. My two kids were having a bit of a hard time at the table, and she immediately offered them some crackers while we waited—such a thoughtful touch that made a big difference.

The food was delicious! The pancakes were perfectly moist (not dry at all) and full of flavor. The coffee was surprisingly good—something I rarely say about coffee in the fast-food/diner industry. This is definitely one of the best breakfast spots in Las Cruces, NM for families. There are plenty of menu options, so whether you’re looking for classic American comfort food, kid-friendly meals, or a hearty brunch, there’s something for everyone. I didn’t get to try the pies this time, but they looked absolutely delicious.

The restaurant itself is spacious with lots of seating, plenty of parking, and full handicap accessibility. It’s a great option if you’re searching for family-friendly restaurants in Las Cruces with parking and space for groups. There’s even a little bar area (closed during our visit), which adds to the variety of what the place can offer.

What really stood out was the service. Genny is attentive, active, and outgoing—she truly makes people feel at home. Her care and energy turned our first visit into something memorable.

Overall, a wonderful experience—great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you’re in Las Cruces, NM and looking for pancakes, brunch, or a family-friendly restaurant, Butter Smith is worth the visit. We’ll definitely be...

Update 11/14/2019:

I'm giving an extra star now. We tried it again. Much better service. We had Courtney as our server and she was helpful, attentive, sweet, and friendly.

They lose one star, as both of our coffee mugs were dirty. Courtney immediately got us clean mugs.

Our food was very good, hot, and served to us quickly today. The price was really good for the scrambler + pumpkin pancakes. Plus, I requested my veges were sauteed first...and they were.

Thank you, Courtney. You redeemed the Village Inn.

Original Review: July 2019 Flatware had food on it, had to request clean fork.

We had to send both breakfasts back, as they got both wrong. Once they came back properly made (the way we ordered them) they were very tasty. Server blamed the cooks, but the manager who came to the table said she didn't write it for the cooks. Be certain to clarify that your server has written down exactly what you are ordering, perhaps that will avoid issues.

We ordered sour cream green sauce breakfast enchiladas with sauteed onions and a cheese omelette with mushrooms. Both were excellent. I loved the enchiladas.

My water is empty, never refilled. Though to be fair, I never requested a refill. The server said she'd take our credit card and receipt and handle it for us, but then she walked away without it.

Did she have too many tables today? I don't know. She was sweet, but the service was...
