I generally choose to stay in Clayton instead of Raton when I’m heading that way. Smaller quieter town and rooms are cheaper. As said before Capulin is pretty cool, went up there once years ago and the inside was covered in millions of ladybugs. If you’re hitting I40 on the way home Jigs BBQ outside of Clinton OK gets rave reviews though I’ve never eaten there. Cattleman’s in OKC is good but spendy and expect a wait at about any time of afternoon and evening. They do have a good house beer at Cattleman’s and you can eat the GHW Bush special.
