We spent two nights in Chama and were surprised to find that all the restaurants (except this one and Subway) were closed by the middle of the afternoon! On a weekend! The train is obviously this town's lifeblood and to be closing restaurants before the train and the return bus arrive back in town is beyond comprehension. So, after cruising the entire town, we settled on the Chama Grill. The dining room was closed, but the drive-thru was open. The wait to order was somewhat long, but when you're hungry and nothing else is open, you'll wait : Thankfully, the food was actually quite delicious and ready by the time we got to the window. We had ordered a green chili burger and the fish and chips meal and both were tasty. The young man at the window was very nice. We pulled into a parking spot in the parking lot and ate while the food was hot.We had only one negative experience, but decided not to take away a star since I know how hard it is to find good help. Only commenting here so the owner can speak with the staff about how inappropriate this was. As I was eating, I watched in my side mirror as one of the employees (who was sitting in his van), got out and relieved himself in the corner by the restaurant. He later walked across the parking lot and I saw he was wearing a Chama Grill shirt, which identified him as an employee. I saw the employees occasionally letting people into the locked restaurant (presumably to use the facilities), so I'm sure they would have let an employee in when he needed to use the restroom.

I make it a point to stop and at midday here when I am in chama. make them please and stop them from chama grill the next time in the city. they will not be disappointed.

Also the frits, the points, the salad and the chicken sandwich were great. Big little find, would definitely go on like that again.

We will definitely be regulars at this restaurant as we are in town for work. The cod fish was incredibly fresh, the Frito pie was delicious, and the vanilla shake tasted like cake! The customer service was excellent and I didn't have to wait long for my food. It would be even better if we didn't have to wait at all.
