Gallup Restaurant Tips by topmarmot

Restaurant Name: Earl's

The food is OK, but the real attraction of Earl's is that local vendors ply their trade between the tables as you eat. From what I hear, this is almost the only place in Gallup itself where you are likely to be buying from the people who make the jewellry, pots, etc, rather than some middleman. Of course, if you're really concerned about this, you'll likely buy in the Nation itself.

Favorite Dish: The Navajo Taco is very good. The pies look scrumptious, but we were too stuffed to even attempt such a thing.

Restaurant Name: Olympic Kitchen

An eclectic menu, featuring local dishes, Greek and Italian. Decor kind of chain-like, but the wait staff was very entertaining. Our waiter ended up comparing his hickies with those being sported by one of our group who had just been treated by a Navajo Medicine Man. Long story.

We noticed that Eggplant Parmesan was in the poultry section of the menu. Surely not because of the EGGplant???

Favorite Dish: Greek Salad, excellent.
Garlic Bread, complimentary, and extremely tasty.
Moussaka, almost as good as my own cooking, but with no cleaning up.
