The menu offers seven table d’hôte entrées, including an omelette, fish, lamb casserole, veal pot pie, broiled squab, sirloin steak, and prime rib. Meal prices range from 90 cents (about $16 today) for the omelette to $1.75 (about $30.50 today) for the steak. An a la carte sirloin steak was $1.50, so the addition of soup, salad, potatoes, vegetable, dessert, and beverage for 25 cents (about $4.50 today) may have been a good deal.

The automobile brought a lot more people into Carlsbad Caverns than the trains ever did. By the early 1950s, visitation was roughly double what it was when the 1941 menu was issued.

That fits in with my theory that Carlsbad was popular partly because it offered relief from the heat of the Southwest, relief that is no longer needed now that indoor and in-vehicle air conditioning is ubiquitous.
