Did Roswell's Crash Site Cafe close? (Roy: restaurant, food, best) - New Mexico (NM) - City-Data Forum

I just passed through Roswell and wanted the kitschy experience of eating at this cafe - but where is it? I drove all the way along West 2nd St to the 3000 block and back again and did not see it. Am I blind? I got annoyed and was on my way out of town anyway, so I didn't bother to stop anywhere to ask about it.

yes it closed, as did the Cover Up Cafe on Main. Next time try Tinnie Mercantile on W 2nd, or La Posta, if you like Mexican.

Okay...I was going nuts not being able to find it. The Cover Up Cafe is actually open - that's where I ended up having breakfast.

Bummer!

I worked for Danny Bowen the Owner of Crash Site Cfe.

Th man was a good cook but he cheated his employess and cheated us pay.

His business closed becuase he ran into financial trouble and becuase he was a mean boss.

The food was the best but the owner was a bad guy

Crash Site Cafe is closed.

If your going down second street as you enter roswell look by next to sonic and you willl see the abadoned restaraunt with weeds and lonliness

Thank You

For a UFO eating experience, the only theme restaurant I know of is the McDonalds around the 600 block of north Main Street. It's shaped like a UFO that landed, with its door open.

At MasDonald's you'll find a lot of UFOs (Unidentified Frying Objects). Sorry, couldn't resist.
