"Looking over the internet for the next place to eat is almost always a chore but Outlaw Saloon stood out almost immediately. Any restaurant using green chili and in house made cheese is going to strike my fancy. Yes the drive is out in the boonies. Expect to to think you're lost, it's about then that you're almost there. The saloon is connected to and supplied by the Lincon Dairy. They share a building. The dairy closes before the saloon so get there earlier if you intend on buying cheese or other dairy products. They also have a little zoo with animals across the parking lot. We didn't venture over, but maybe next time with the kids. We arrived and it didn't look like much outside. Metal buildings and nothing too fancy. There's an outside dining area that mirrors the inside though. The perfectly stained old wood sets the perfect setting for this place. It's not big but it still probably sits about 30 comfortably. They offer coke in a plastic bottle or their house made lemonade (which actually tastes more like lime). The lemonade is not super sweet, but it was definitely good. The only thing I'd say is that it could have had more ice- it was a little warm for my taste. The food was delicious. Try the chips and queso. The queso has a very delicious flavor that keeps you coming back for more. We also got the stuffed peppers for an appetizer and that was so good, I'm going to have to make those at home. Such a simple idea but the cheese in them really stands out. All the cheese in these dishes is the most fresh and tasty you are going to find. My husband ordered the burger with cream cheese and while it was good, he said it needed more jalepenos and maybe some bacon on top. Cream cheese is a bit dry and it almost has a drying effect on the burger. He liked it, but said he would not order that one again. I took a taste and the cream cheese almost made the flavors mute. My burger however was the chili relleno burger and it was amazing! The flavor was there, the freshness of the chili and the cheese was the perfect pairing. The waffle fries were okay, a bit under done. My husband loaded his fries with queso and he enjoyed his more. I will say the burger patty could have been cooked a little less. And next time I may request that. The flavors were there though. For dessert they had flan. A few different flavors. Unfortunately flan isn't something either of us enjoys, but if you do- I bet the ingredients are going to blow the flavor away. I'd love to go back and try the Mac and cheese, tacos, loaded nachos and a few other things. Maybe in time. Until then I'll recommend this place as a good family or date spot."

"On my first visit, I decided to try the turkey and panela cheese croissant. If you order the combo, you can choose a side salad, veggie straws, or sea salt chips, along with a drink. The sandwich was delicious—fresh and light—and the salad was also generous and crisp. I sampled three drinks: cucumber lemonade, strawberry lemonade, and matcha frappe. Each was made with fresh ingredients and not overly sweet, unlike many other places. I wanted to try their waffle with banana and Nutella, but unfortunately, they were out. That's okay, though; it gives me another reason to return and explore more of the menu. The person working there (whom I assume is the owner) was very friendly and respectful, and the only other customer in the restaurant had nothing but great things to say about the food, mentioning that they often dine here. So, if you’re in the area and looking for lighter fare or just want a pleasant afternoon escape, I highly recommend stopping by and supporting this local business!"
