In southeastern New Mexico, just across the border from Texas, lies a family-owned restaurant with décor like no other. Casey’s is a beloved dining spot for Hobbs locals, who are seeking breakfast or burgers. However, the restaurant is also home to one of the biggest collections of Coca-Cola memorabilia in the nation.
The Coca-Cola advertising signs are visible before you even step into the restaurant.
Once inside, the sheer volume of bottles, cans, posters, lunchboxes, and other paraphernalia nestled in the display cases that line the walls is amazing.
You will never get tired of ogling the décor here.
It might seem random to encounter so many Coke products in Hobbs, but it actually makes sense because Coca-Cola has long had a presence in the city.
Coke products are highly collectible.
In part, that’s due to volume. In 1886, John S. Pemberton invented Coca-Cola and, even in the early days, he invested heavily in advertising. As a company, Coca-Cola continued to be forward thinking in terms of promotion and brand recognition, resulting in a plethora of collectible signs, snow globes, and coolers.
Study some of these while you bite into crunchy onion rings...
...And chow down on burgers – try the taco burger.
Other popular menu items include the Frito pie and the rotating specials. The restaurant also serves breakfast, offering dishes like pancakes, biscuits of gravy, and omelets.
Although Casey’s opened in 1976, the eatery has a 1950s diner vibe.
Three generations of the same family have run this Hobbs institution and, whether you’re a regular or just passing through, this is a welcome – and unique - spot to grab a bite.
Casey’s is located at 209 W Broadway Street, Suite 12 in Hobbs. For more information, visit the restaurant’s website or Facebook page .
Please note that Casey’s is a cash-only restaurant.
