Despite my disappointment that the New Yorker (a rueben) was sold out, we had great sandwiches. We had a good chat with the owner, who told us the location will change this summer and likely the name also (perhaps to "Legends"), along with evening hours. Whatever it's name, seek it out.

My family and I were in Ruidoso last month, and went to Blue Goose one day for lunch and it was a cute place with a sweet staff! The trio with soup salad and sandwich won us all over! It was really good and they had lots of different breads to choose from which was nice! We will be back... More

Nice atmosphere. Good soups and salads. Good sandwiches too (but I don't eat bread) Nice patio. Friendly service. Only serves lunch.

We went in after being referred by a local store owner or a place for a simple lunch. Was a pretty good crowd for lunch and the light breeze made it more welcoming. Greeted with a great smile and sat inside. Goose eggs are a MUST get to start your meal!!!!! We asked for their recommendation of the menu and... More

The owners excuse was this isn't normally a busy weekend for them. Thankfully the food... More

This restaurant is small, clean, and inviting. We loved the chicken salad sandwich and the salads are huge! The only part of my meal I disliked was the cheddar chowder -- it is outrageously spicy, so beware! The best part: a slice of carrot cake! Eat here for lunch while in Ruidoso for sure.

Although we haven't been there personally in a while, we had wonderful pastrami sandwiches there when we did go about a year ago. We have recommended it to friends who thoroughly enjoyed the food. The prices are reasonable and the portions are hearty.

The Blue Goose is what the Village Buttery wants to be when it grows up. The atmosphere is just a little more pleasant, the staff is just a little more professional, and the sandwiches are a whole lot better. The quiche here is not as good. The pastrami sandwaich was served on generous, thick slices of dark rye. The pickle... More
