The Village Buttery - Ruidoso

The gluten-free options were tasty and greatly appreciated. The staff is inviting and gracious. The building is cozy and warm. We will definitely be back when we're in Ruidoso again! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Sat outside in the shade while eating delicious chicken salad,tomato basil soup and butter milk pie! Oh the prickly pear tea was wonderful.

Not sure what’s going with this restaurant but not as good as it use to be. Ate there the last week of September 2023, twice, and both times the food quality was poor. Ordered the chicken noodle soup and it was a can of Progresso! Husband had chicken salad sandwich and there was a very, small amount in the middle of the bread. Quiche was dry. However, the pasta salad the tropical tea were good! Service was great. They need to step up the quality of their food, back to where it use to be! They have the best outdoor seating and could easily be a 5 star restaurant again. But now a 3!

The place serves a steady line of people who order sandwiches. We, too, ordered tuna salad sandwiches. There was a small lump of it in the middle of tasteless white bread, which was labeled sourdough, a tiny strip of worn out lettuce and a portion of a slice of tomato. The plate was heaped with salty chips and the prickly pear ice tea was so weak, and further diluted with ice, that it was difficult to determine the flavor... All this for $15 a plate. A true disappointment...the gentleman wait staff brought water for the pooch, even without my asking- thank you...the young woman replenishing tea was not friendly....all this in a tourist destination?

Small restaurant with limited seating. The food is pretty good but nothing noteworthy. Sandwiches, wraps, quiche, soups and salads. The ordering and bill paying procedures are just nonsense. Wait in typically a long lines to do both. Nonstarter. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
