Tried Duke's City BBQ while passing through Albuquerque and came away feeling a bit mixed. The food…read morewas prepared well and the portions were fair, but overall it just lacked the flavor I was hoping for from a BBQ spot. The meat was tender enough, but the seasoning and smoke profile seemed pretty mild, leaving the dishes tasting a little flat. The service was friendly and the restaurant was clean, which made for a pleasant visit. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with the meal, but nothing really stood out either. I found myself reaching for sauce to add some of the flavor I felt was missing. Overall, it was an average BBQ experience. If you're in the area, it may be worth trying for yourself since tastes vary, but for me it didn't quite live up to the bold flavors I typically look for in good barbecue.

Went to Ironwood kitchen recently and it was amazing the service was quick and kind. And the…read moreambiance was peaceful and had a lot of cool decor and details about wars and history. Having had family that have served it was nice to see how they honored veterans with their photos. I got the turkey sandwich, they let me modify it which I do feel bad for asking for but they were extremely kind about it. They made the sandwich to perfection. The turkey is moist and smoked with nice heavy flavor. The lettuce is crunchy and not to much. Yes I have had to much lettuce before and all I can say is it's not a filler ingredient. And Iron Wood Kitchen understands this. They use the right amount to add some flavor but not over power it. The cheese and mayo tastes home made great quality. To top it off the sour dough bread is toasted just right. Brown / golden light butter feel melts in your mouth. The chips I got as a side were tasty, regular kettle potato chips pairs well with the turkey sandwich. Place was clean and ran well. Would recommend to locals and tourists visiting.

Wow . This was one of the best DoorDash meals I've had in a very very long time. The food itself is…read morea very solid 5+ star meal. Outstanding! I don't even know where to start but here goes. The New Mexican Philly cheesesteak, arguably my favorite dish, very very different take on what a cheesesteak usually is (not in a bad way). I was first skeptical when I ordered it, but I saw all the great reviews on the dish so I had to try. This was oddly enough my 4th favorite Philly cheesesteak I've ever had, which is weird to say because the first 3 favorites were actually in Philly and made the traditional way. Something about the spicy queso sauce and the soft fatty tasting meat just really brought it home. The huevos rancheros: every inch was flavorful , saucy, cheesy and lovely. I enjoyed even more the parts where I could also taste the tortilla at the bottom, wish it was in more of the dish but it's okay the flavors were outstanding. Another 5 star dish! Next time I'll also try it with eggs over medium. The Xmas chile cheese fries: best chile cheese fries in New Mexico! The fries themselves tasted like they were hand cut, so either they had some high quality freezer fries or they definitely cut those fries by hand. Either way I wasn't complaining! Their green chile was insanely good. We also had the Green Chile stew, the flavors and ingredients were really good. I think for people that love home cooking this will feel really nostalgic for them. Like grandmas caldo she used to make. For me, the dry texture of the beef reminded me way too much of my mom's dry / rough beef she always had in her stews . Objectively I can say it was a really nice caldo, but the tortillas, not sure how I could grab on to much of the food with it really. I think this might be a dish best eaten in house. I also tipped their staff $2 in addition to the driver tip , and they wrote a funny joke on the plate which I thought was cute haha. I kept the rating at 5 stars but I hope that management reads this review because I do have one critique. All the food was in styrofoam and non sustainable plastic. Styrofoam especially has been banned from some places including California because when heated it, it adds cancer causing chemicals into your food. I would gladly pay $0.35 per meal to receive the meals in sustainable packaging that will keep me healthy. Because of this, I think I won't be ordering from here for delivery and hope that I have time to make the 20 minute drive to go there in person. It's really good food! Found this place on DoorDash but the funny part is it's been near my house the whole time next to the barber shop I've been to plenty of times.

Note: Nomad BBQ is no longer at the Rio Grande Blvd sticks 'n bricks location if you, like me…read morebefore an extended road trip, last dealt with him there. Theo's operating in food truck mode only now. He mentioned being at the yellow & blue HappyDaze Cannabis building across from the Maverik gas station on Jefferson St NE at junction of I-25 and Jefferson. I'm unsure of what days & hours. Give him a call to get the "who, what, when, where, why, & how" for his location on any given day. However, I must say that Nomad BBQ is still providing *excellent* Texas style BBQ of exceptional tastiness at very economical prices, given the high quality of the food. If you see their truck anywhere around town, stop in, chow down, and smile ... smile ... smile ... at all the wondrous gustatorial nirvana you've just indulged in. Hands down, killer good BBQ! Everything I said in my previous review still stands. Of special note, besides the extremely good food, is the gregarious, outgoing, and hyper friendly personality that positively shines out of Mr Theo. One of the most convivial food vendors in town. Period!

Yummy and tasty food from a small family business worthy of ABQ's local support. Theo the owner…read moredoes the bbq/smoking of the meat himself. You can tell he is passionate and love sharing his bbq with his customer. His signature meat? He mentioned the pulled pork meat and the brisket! The side worthy of trying (although Theo himself doesn't like coleslaw himself? The pineapple coleslaw...based on my brief discussion with another local customer I met onsite! I personally found that the price/value for the amount and quality of food Nomad's bbq provides is well worth it. I had a pulled pork sandwich (plus a bit of brisket and the 2 sides that I couldn't resist trying to save for my next meal) and thought the meat was smokey, jiving and so scrumptious...and this is coming from someone who normally doesn't eat so much meat like myself! Overall, I really like that Theo seems passionate about making the food that he serves. Plus, it doesn't hurt that this bbq type of food tastes so good..and is so rare to find ABQ, too.

Because it is really great and is easily confused with a few other places with similar names. A group of the boys from the VA Creative Writing Group went here (again) and (again) thoroughly enjoyed the excellent food, the prompt service, and an interior that made us want to stay even longer.

I really like the bbq here but I'd need to know that things were improving before a return visit. Portions of burnt ends were light and didn't get the side salad nor a receipt.

We went with the mild sandwiches because you never know. They truly were mild and, for my taste, were about the spice level as a normal chick-fil-a sandwich. When we go back will def bump up the spice level, it's always nice to have a baseline. If you are scared of this place cause of the 'hot' chicken and you can't do spicy just get a mild it's not hot at all. Sandwich was great, chicken was tender, tasty, and sadly (this might be a me thing) not enough pickles. I will order extra pickles next time. You order at the counter and the seating is kind of sparse but food comes out quickly enough and people don't seem to linger long. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Today was the first time I tried out this place. I ordered 2 chicken sandwiches, some fries and the…read moremac and cheese. I feel like if the owner was there managing the production, it would have been much better. I liked the fries the most, but, they also tasted sweet. I got the Nashville fries, not the sweet potato fries. With that being said, I did get 1 sweet potato fry in the bunch. My fries tastes somewhat sweet, which I didn't mind, but also figured they were tossed with the sweet potatoes. Maybe the oil wasn't changed? Not sure. I also ordered the spicy chicken sandwich. It has potential. The chicken was old. You could tell it was old and not fresh like they advertise on their website. The taste was good, the chicken was old. The bun should also be toasted. It wasn't. Bun right out of the bag from your local grocer. Lastly the mac and cheese. I personally thought it was watered down, but my wife enjoyed the mac and cheese. I would have liked a thicker sauce. Overall: Would only come back after trying several competitors that make a more enjoyable meal. This place has potential but I'm not willing to spend my hard earned money on something that "could be" better. Good luck.

New schedules are posted weekly on Instagram. Last Saturday, I stopped and saw Mac N Cheese on the menu. Since I had never been there, I was a little unsure when I placed my order and confused the nice guy taking the orders. Fortunately, Mike was right there to help. He asked if I just wanted a "box of noods," when I said I wanted meat, he suggested the pork belly and said it was his favorite. So I figured I couldn't go wrong there and agreed. A little wait later, I had my food and went to work. It smelled so delicious that I didn't make it to work before digging in. It's the creamiest, most flavor-packed Mac-N-Cheese I've ever had. He makes it on the grill with the pork belly and adds BBQ and crema. It's sinfully delicious. I had to return this weekend because I had a craving, and he did not disappoint--the same amazing creamy goodness, piping hot with a mouthwatering aroma. I would highly recommend his food!

The smells emanating from the truck as I walked up hinted at what we were in store for. I got the brisket mac n cheese and the hubs has the pork belly burnt ends sandwich. Bark on the brisket was chef's kisses and the creaminess of the mac n cheese was divine. The hubs was too busy snarfing his sandwich so Im assuming it was amazing as well. Basically boils down to this: if you see this truck, then you HAVE to stop.

Service was incredibly slow and the music on the patio was far too loud so I had to sit in an area that was pretty dusty and had not been wiped down that day. Despite ordering my burger as "plain and dry", tomato and lettuce still came on the burger and I had to disassemble things to get the tomato juice mopped up and off my burger. The flavor was decent but something about the burger kept it from being good, and I can't pinpoint what it was. The bun was a bit odd texturally as well. The fries however were GREAT!! If I was in the area again, I would absolutely order the fries here, but likely get a burger elsewhere. The table next to me seemed to be regulars and were over the moon with their food, so your mileage may vary. I think it's worth checking out at least once to make your own opinion.
