Thank you to the wonderful staff members for allowing my friend and I to drag out our dinner to…read moremake plans for a baby shower/gender reveal! This shindig won't happen until mid July, but my friend and I wanted to hash out major details. We met at a very unbusy Ranchers back on May 5, 2026. We ate. Planned. Ate some more. Planned. Had dessert. Planned just a bit more. And I really wanted more cookies, but I refrained. Lol. All of the employees were super friendly and gracious. I just wish they would switch their system up a bit... I would rather pay for the buffet before we receive our plates instead of after our meal because it never fails I stand at the counter waiting for someone for several minutes. They're always apologetic, but it still gets old. TIP + Second best salad bar in town!

Nice overnight in Hobbs since we sometimes enjoy a little casino time while roadtripping…read more Staff was friendly and helpful and room was nice. Brewery in the casino complex serves great and reasonably priced brick oven pizza. Casino was fun for a little diversion. The most pleasant surprise was the free continental breakfast. Never found one of those at a casino hotel.

Casino will not set AC at a suitable temperature for its guest…read more Its extremely hot inside the gaming area- the ONLY area that is somewhat cool is the ultimate high stakes area which consist of a small room with @ 20 machines. Casino provides small paper hand fans for the guest and guest will still be sweating while using the paper fans. It is ridiculous that the casino CANNOT or WILL NOT supply their guest with a suitable room temperature that would allow for a comfortable gaming experience. The carpet is worn in many areas with duct tape used to hold the frayed carpet in place. I heard many older guests complaining about the carpet as a tripping hazard. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED EVENT WITH THE AC- I HAVE BEEN 6 TIMES SINCE FEBRUARY AND ITS EVERYTIME!!!!!

very disappointed had dinner with eight other people I ordered a ribeye It was a thin cut of…read moreribeye. I would never buy a thin cut of ribeye to serve as a steak. I ordered it medium it came well done the flavour was good. But it was overcooked. The salad offered many varieties of add-ons for your salad which was awesome, but I was disappointed as the potato salad was watery and there was no seafood salad as there had been in the past. I was also disappointed that the only two soup options were chilli and chilli cream soup. What happened to the French onion on a better note our server was awesome. She was very attentive to our table, very friendly and she gave us great service.

Great food, great service and they still have the massive salad bar. Money well spent.read more

Pacific Rim delivers fantastic Asian fusion fare. I combined their ribeye with their fried rice…read more It is outstanding . The ribeye was perfectly seared--juicy, tender, and full of rich flavor, cooked exactly as ordered. Paired with their fried rice, which is fluffy, loaded with fresh veggies, egg, and that signature wok-tossed taste, it's a winning duo. It was not greasy. It was perfectly seasoned, and generously portioned. Great service, welcoming vibe, and solid value.

Very good service, nicely decorated…read more Ordered their pineapple Paloma. I'm not into too sweet of a drink and this was it. Usually these are really refreshing but the pineapple made it really sweet. Order the hot and sour soup. Had great flavor with the little amount of spiciness and sourness but was not very warm. Calamari with the perfect amount of breading, cooked perfectly and not chewy. Great with the marinara dipping sauce. Spicy tuna roll was very good, very fresh with the right amount of kick. Green chili roll. I personally did not try it, I do not like cream cheese in my sushi roll but others at the table loved it. They stated this is the best roll on the menu ......... if you like cream cheese in your rolls. I ordered the panzit with chicken, it was very salty. If it had less salt I think this dish would have been very good. The noodles and chicken cooked perfectly. Sizzling beef & Shrimp - the beef and shrimp was cooked well but the house brown sauce had a very weird flavor. Hobbs is our hometown but we have lived in California and Las Vegas for a long time and this restaurant did not meet our expectations of Asian food.

Empire Buffet of Hobbs, NM…read more.. It's decent buffet-only Chinese food. This restaurant sits in a plaza adjacent to Albertsons Market grocery store. Parking can be a hassle during peak hours. I miss this place when it used to be Peking Restaurant way back in the day. That place had some wonderful ambiance that made me want to return. Empire... not so much. It's very generic & boring. The staff members back on 8/25/22 were no nonsense. Not particularly friendly or welcoming. It's basically the only place in town for your Chinese food fix, though. Don't forget an ice cream on a cone before you walk out!
