P.S. they have a HUGE bar and plenty of parking on Burro Street.

The 5 of us all got something different and not a single bad thing to say about the food, facility or staff. What a great spot to get a meal and cold drink! This is going to become my new go to when I am in town! To be honest I was shocked the food was so good and VERY reasonably priced!! The price of the burger (comes with regular fries) isn't much more than a fast food burger! Give Hall of Flame your business. I promise you won't be disappointed. Even if there is a line, stand in it. It will move fast. They also have cold beer on tap!! A true Ruidoso gem!! Delicious!!

I don't consume sugary sodas (or nasty aspertame diet drinks!), so last time I had a tea, this time they had Zero Dr. Pepper, and it just brought the whole meal together, lol. (PS - The "Zero" sodas have aspertame as well, but much less than the "diet" drinks. They are mostly sweetened with sucralose, which isn't exactly healthy for you, but tastes 100% better and is better for you than aspertame). We love Hi-D-Ho, and their prices are decent.

I ordered a 1/2 dozen wings from appetizers, and finally I ordered a basket of fries. We don't have baskets of fries the menu has changed so you want 2 sides of fries? One side of fries and one side on onion rings. I placed my order over the phone ordering from their website that doesn't mention or show new menu. I ordered the food at 6:38 pm. I was told 10-15 minutes. I arrived and paid $41.38 plus tip at6:52 pm. And was told to sit and wait. I mentioned I'd stand which got me a lesson on bar space for waitresses, and not to block it, so I sat down. What attitude. At 7:15 I asked how much longer, and she said it's not done yet. I said I want my money refunded and I'll go somewhere else. She said she wasn't authorized to give refunds, she had to get manager. 7:22 she comes out rummages thru cash door, has to ask me what the name on the order was, then removes the receipt hands it to me and says it's been refunded. I asked for a receipt showing the $ was refunded she said no. Baby I know business was pretty rough over the holiday weekend. I know you aren't the cook, but realize this. I'm al local. I live less than a mile from your bar. We're all trying to make ends meet. Don't give me your attitude cause I live here and i liked yor food. I'll skip your food and hospitality!

As a traveler from out of state accompanied by two trained service dogs, I was shocked by the…read moretreatment we received at Winary Bistro. The manager incorrectly stated that service dogs must wear a vest to be recognized as service animals and demanded that we provide a "service animal certificate." We were then told that such certificates were not valid and that service animals must be registered in New Mexico before being allowed into the restaurant. None of these statements are consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Service dogs are not required to wear vests, carry certificates, or be registered with any state in order to access public accommodations. It is deeply concerning that a manager responsible for serving the public appears to have such a poor understanding of federal disability law. The experience was embarrassing, discriminatory, and completely unnecessary. I have traveled extensively throughout the United States with my service dogs and have never been treated this way. I strongly encourage management to educate staff on ADA requirements before another customer is subjected to the same treatment. Until then, I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone who relies on a service animal.
