Located in the tiny New Mexico town of Pie Town (yes, that’s its name!) is an amazing restaurant—way out in the boonies but so worth the drive. The Gatherin’ Place is a self-proclaimed “old-fashioned pie café” that serves amazing New Mexico food. Plus, it displays and sells local artisan crafts and gifts. With daily-made fresh pies, a comfortable atmosphere, and piping hot coffee, the Gatherin’ Place is a favorite of locals and visitors alike. Take a look at this charming eatery way out in the boonies but, oh, so worth it.
Pie Town, an unincorporated community along U.S. Highway 60 in Catron County, has a population of 168.

The view is classic small-town New Mexico. There’s even a small area to eat outside where you can enjoy the fresh air.

While the Gatherin’ Place is particularly known for its pies, all of the food is homemade and delicious. Fresh soup - yummy.
