Food: my husband ordered a burger with bbq sauce bacon brisket etc. he got a dry charred mini burger with pickles and cheese. They were astonished that there was anything missing. They FINALLY brought 2 small pieces of gray brisket to put on it and wanted to call it good. Ambiance: feels like a banquet room with removable tables. No soft furnishings to dull the room echo. It was near Christmas and ate dinner to the Grinch theme song and songs by...sigh... the Chipmunks. DO NOT GO WORST DINING EXPERIENCE EVER read more

Walked right in and was greeted nicely by the hostess. Seated very quickly. Tablets as a menu is a very nice feature. Very nice and soft bread rolls with butter. At first I thought it was whipped cream as you can tell by the picture. As my appetizer I chose the jalapeño soup. I have to say that it was amazing even if it had no real substance to it other than cream of something and jalapeños. I think potatoes would be a nice addition to this soup. For dinner I chose the 8oz filet and I added blue cheese crumbles to the top slightly melted. The steak was cooked perfect and the flavor was nice. The veggies along with it were cooked well with minimal butter which I prefer. My waitress was perfect. She came around just enough and not to much. Nothing bothers me more than to come around so much that I can't enjoy my food. I'm a happy medium kind of guy when it comes to that and she did a great job balancing her other customers and I. Over all my experience was wonderful. I will definitely be dining her again before I leave town. read more

Centennial Steakhouse - Wine Bars Near Me - Hobbs, New Mexico

See all

My girlfriend and I treated both of our mothers, and her stepfather to lunch here for Mother's Day 2022 and had a wonderful experience. The steakhouse had just been redesigned and moved to another room, but if they were working out any newness kinks I couldn't tell. Aspen, our waitress, gave a level of service that is rare for this area and would stand up to fine dining in much larger cities. The meal was terrific, all five plates cooked to perfection, and since it was the first meal my mom had ever shared with my girlfriend's parents, the atmosphere was perfect-upscale without being stuffy and facilitated a wonderful visit with laughter and great conversation. It was EXACTLY what I was hoping for on this occasion, down to every detail. They nailed it completely, and we all had a great visit and left full, happy, and impressed. I've got a reservation for a date night this weekend too. After reading a couple other reviews, the negatives seem to focus around two areas--the time it takes for food to come out, and the price. My take on that is that when I go for a fine dining experience, I'm not in a hurry, and I want to enjoy the atmosphere, conversation, drinks and appetizers. I also would much prefer the kitchen to take an extra 10 minutes to get it perfect (and a perfect Centennial Filet is a wonderful thing, believe me) rather than rush it out and sacrifice taste or quality, especially for the price. Which brings me to the other point, it is a bit higher than most other places in the area, but offers more attention to detail and atmosphere, which I factor into the price and find it to be worth it. I'd rather pay $40 for superb than $35 for pretty good elsewhere. This steakhouse has been around for over a decade, I've eaten here many times, and I can honestly say they've never given me an experience that was below really good, and have achieved exquisite heights on more than one occasion, Mother's Day 2022 was certainly the latter. read more

The Centennial filet was the best steak I've had in Hobbs! Cooked perfectly medium rare, tender and juicy. Crab cakes were better than ones I've had on the East Coast. Would give it 5 stars except they were out of several menu items like the Ribeye Steak, the jalapeno poppers, oysters and certain beer and some glitches with the ordering system. read more

Best steak I've had in Hobbs so far. Service was bad and very slow even though it wasn't busy at all, but the food was great. Best crepe brûlée I've had in a long time. Would be worth going just for desert alone! Only other downfall was walking through the cigarette smelling casino to get the the restaurant, but once you are in the doors of the restaurant, you no longer smell it! We will be back. read more

it's a good steak that's neither overcooked or undercooked. it's cooked as you ask for it.

Any time my husband and I visit Zia Park we make reservations for this steakhouse. We've been a handful of times and it never disappoints!

Wife and I went for anniversary dinner, service was good but slow (we were not in a hurry) best steak in Hobbs so far, all the sides and Salad was very good as well. read more

Best place to eat in Hobbs. You wouldn't think that oysters would be something to get in the middle of the desert in a small town, but we eat them all over the country and they are as good or better here than anywhere. Steaks are usually awesome, drinks are fantastic... No complaints in the dozen or so times that we have been here... read more

And They're Off! Live Racing returns to Zia Park September 8! I love watching these New Mexico Mustangs Racing. You can tell they love to run because their pride in their eyes sparkle. Heck they don't even require a jockey. Live Racing Saturday - Tuesday Post Times: 12:15pm After the races you can enjoy an evening of fine dining at the Black Gold Steakhouse. The food is of good portion and the chef always has an interesting twist to the vegetable sides. It is a little pricey in comparison to other steakhouses in Hobbs. After diner you can try your luck at the adjacent casino or dancing on Friday and Saturday night. Off Track betting is also available if your in to that kind of thing. read more

Pricey, but worth it. I think their food is excellent, the service was decent. It's a very nice establishment. It's not one you'd go to regularly (unless you have a lot of money), but for a special occasion...it's pretty good. I like that it's geared more toward adults (in a casino, thus you can escape the kids that are everywhere else). It's also small, so large parties and nights when it's busy...not so great. read more

Was the worst customer service I've seen in years it took 45 minutes to receive our food once the order was placed our waitress was not attentive at all we had to ask for our salads and when food arrived it was cold and not good at all our bill was $65 . We will not dine here again read more

Bad service from waitress; she was very unfriendly...ordered a filet mignon medium well...got it well done and was super dry...

Centennial Steakhouse is located in the casino across the street from the event center in Hobbs, so it's very convenient for a bite before a show. We had no reservation but were seated immediately. The steak here is fantastic--so tender and a wonderful flavor. The chef perfectly prepared both my medium rare and my and my husband's well done steaks. The sides were tasty. Service was excellent and staff was very friendly. If I ever go to Hobbs again, I'll look forward to enjoying another meal at Centennial Steakhouse. read more

The nicest restaurant in Hobbs, by far. Excellent service. I had the filet mignon with Boursin cheese and crab. Nice wine selection (for Hobbs). This is a great place to take a date! read more

This is located inside of a casino. Very smokey from the smoking gamblers. Service was good since there was no other diners on a Thursday night. Ordered the seafood pasta that was only two scrimp and two scallops in a very oily pile of over cooked noodles. Also had the "blackened" salmon that was not at all blackened but did have enough rice to feed all the diners at my table. Overall the food was terrible and the one star is for the service or it would be a negative 5. read more

If McDonald's served steak, this is what it would taste like. Very dry and bland and way overpriced. My girlfriend had the jalapeño soup and it tasted like they poured it right out of a can. Very disappointed. read more

Definitely a little pricey, but the taste was magnificent. Perfectly cooked steak - Jalapeño soup was awesome!

Had a really good steak dinner here. Filet cooked perfect-medium plus. Service good. Did not have to dress up. I would definitely go here again. Only complaint- Cesar salad was not that great. It was not bad. Guess I was expecting more. I'm sure there are better places here in cow country. But when at the casino, try this place out. Note-not open all days/hours, call before you come. read more

Good wasn't all that great! Literally got there at 7:15 and left at 9pm because our server was slow!!. There was 4 tables that came and left before us. Desert fruit was soggy and was too sweet! Couldn't even eat it. The table beside us even got offered a discount for the long wait. Customers looked frustrated. For the price of the ticket this place wasn't even worth it! read more

First off, terrible service!!! Waited at the door for a long time before we were helped. Waitress came to our table maybe twice, it took an hour for food to come. Second, the food was not good! Had he kabobs and it was a cheap cut of meat marinated in terrible marinade! Bleh! read more

Eh. I would say this place is decent and way overpriced. I ordered the grilled chicken supposed to be on the bone, what I got was a tiny grilled chicken breast about 4oz in size on soggy peppers for $19. Baked potato was good, bread was stale or maybe it's supposed to be like that. The other people in the party all had red meat and they seemed happier with their meals, it's a steakhouse after all. I tried the sweet potato fries and the batter was more like tempura with a cinnamon sugar flavor. The smoke inside the casino is suffocating but in the restaurant it's bearable. Salads were small but good. It was a very long wait for our meal. Probably about 30-40 minutes after we waited about 15 min for the salads. Be prepared for a long meal.... read more
