Elida's — Restaurant in Springer

Got lucky and made it to Springer right at lunch time. Although there were a lot of cars outside they had plenty of seating and we got a table right away.

The service was very prompt and everyone was very friendly and helpful. So glad we got to try this place and would definitely plan our next meal around this place the next time we’re going...
