    Came here for breakfast there food was excellent. Definitely want to come back for lunch and try there barbecue and burgers. Prices or very reasonable and you can either eat indoors or outdoors and watch the planes. Very cool environment and plenty to explore if your kids or in aviation.

    The owner is absolutely wonderful. The food is good. The bark on the brisket is what you look for and you get it here. The amount of sauce choices is crazy. I came to make a video for my YouTube channel and they let me film. I also got to see some planes take off from their viewing platform. So cool.

    3 meat plate
    Amanda C.

    Ordered a 3 meat plate with hot links, 2 servings of brisket, slaw, cornbread, and mac n cheese to-go. We waited for about an hour and 15 minutes for our food because the kitchen printer didn't print our order and they were backed up. Eventually we saw some take out orders on the counter and they were being taken to those who ordered after us. About 10-15 minutes later someone brought our order from the counter and we noticed it was with that initial group. So they let it sit there without giving it to us, and when they did there was no apology for the wait or eye contact. Just terrible customer service. When it came to the food, it was alright. When we ordered we asked if the 3 meat plate would feed 2 people and they said yes. When we opened the box we realized we needed to but more food to feel full! The hot links were good but I learned I preferred brisket slices instead of chopped brisket, which was a bit dry. Slaw was too vinegar-y. Cornbread was overbaked by several minutes and dry. Overly brown on the sides and bottom. Mac n cheese was good! We were also missing a second sauce. Not sure if they are mostly used to locals and not open to serving tourists with good hospitality...guess good customer service went out the door as soon as we crossed the state border from Texas!

    Barbecue sauces at Jim Bobs BBQ

    I was getting towards hangry and stopped in at Ice Box because they have a food truck. The food truck is Jim Bobs and yes, I should know better than to have barbecue outside of Charlotte. So I avoided the pulled pork and went to the ribs. They were super busy tonight and running very slow. I don't know if short-staffed or waiting for food to cook or what but it was a solid 40 minutes of waiting. The bartender apologized and even said that they had cut off new orders so they could catch up. Y'all need to work on that. When they eventually arrived, the ribs were fantastic. Nicely cooked, firm meat, not quite fall-off-the-bone and tasty. Cole slaw was good. They also include a bucket of different sauces and I did try them all. There was a spicy red that was great but the ribs really didn't need the sauce. I'd have this again and next time, ask if the kitchen is running behind before committing.

    Three Meat Platter at Jim Bob's BBQ out at the airport. Sliced brisket, sausage, and spareribs with sweet potato fries and onion rings.

    Today I was accompanied by a couple guests on a long overdue visit to Jim Bob's BBQ out at the Las Cruces Airport. We found the restaurant to be a little larger and roomier than we anticipated. It was bright and clean and well run. The service was most pleasant and the prices very reasonable. You order at the counter and a waitress or Jim Bob himself brings the food to your table. The food prep time, order to table, was about twelve to fifteen minutes. We sampled the Magma Burger with seasoned fries with a side of brisket, the Pig Melt, a pulled pork sandwich with haystack onions in it, and a Three Meat Platter containing sliced brisket, sausage, and spareribs with onion rings and sweet potato fries. An interesting feature of Jim Bob's is that each table receives a basket of around ten BBQ sauces with a code identifying the ingredients in each. I actually sampled all the sauces and found every one of them very good. Makes for interesting dining. Regarding the food, here is how it all breaks down: While there was a bit of smoke on most of the food it was not overpowering...just nice. The brisket has a nice bark and smoke ring. The brisket we found to be real good but not exceptional. Rate it a B+. The pulled pork in the Pig Melt was excellent. Rate it an A-. The Texas Toast was a little soft on the bottom slice apparently from steam??? The Pig Melt was excellent otherwise. Rate it an A-. The Magma Burger was excellent. Rate it an A-. The seasoned fries were very good. Rate them a B to a B+. The sweet potato fries were thin and were therefore a little low on flavor. Rate them a B. The onion rings were nicely fried and had a light batter and were a bit crispy with no grease. Good onion rings. Rate them a B+. The sausage was a little different in flavor but very pleasant in taste. I enjoyed it. Rate it an A-. The St. Louis Style Spareribs...about four of them were excellent. Rate them an A-. Drinks were served from the can in a large cooler. All-in-all, we enjoyed the dining experience and the food. We will surely be back again. And Jim Bob's is only about ten minutes or so from the center of town. Rate this enjoyable dining experience around FOUR AND A HALF STARS. Good stuff!

    Desayuno Perfecto!

    Jim B is true New Mex genuineness and hospitality. His food is New Mex simple and GOOD! Breakfast burrito on point and ready to be sauced: Fried potatoes, eggs, bacon, chile. Chopped brisket is on point. Burger is on point. Located up on airport plateau, if you are an aviation enthusiast this is even more reason to come.

    Wholly Cow Plate - 3 meat combo with pork, brisket and ribs.
    Mark C.

    Go out of your way to give this place a try. It is truly a hole in the wall with seating only for 32. Very rustic. Great smells as you walk in. Jim Bob is the owner and takes great pride in the meat he serves and the sauces he puts together. Order at the counter. I went with the Wholly Cow which is a 3 meat combo. You can choose from pork, brisket, ribs, sausage and chicken. I went with pork, brisket and ribs. All meat was tender and moist as well as seasoned well. The ribs came off the bone easily. As part of the plates, you get the choice of 2 sides. Sides include onion rings, vinaigrette slaw, potato salad, jalapeño baked beans, Mac and cheese and sweet potato fries. Went with the slaw and beans. Jim Bob makes his own sauces and there are 10 to choose from. He uses a variety of regional influences to build his sauces. That's include Alabama White Sauce, South Carolina Mustard Sauce, and Lexington (North Carolina) Vinegar based sauce. Standard sweet and smoky as well as hot. Then he has a few surprises for you that you will have to come in to find out about. Portions were good sized and the prices were reasonable. I really enjoyed talking barbecue with the owner and the other gentleman who was working. A locally owned and operated business well worth trying, so come on down.

    In route from El Paso back to Tucson I was getting hungry and didn't want to stop off at a subway or something like that. I was able to find this place asking Google. I wondered if I was going to the right place for a minute as it's located at the Las Cruces international airport. It's like a little museum in there and I was very happy with the friendly service I received. What really blew me away though was the sandwich and seasoned fries that I received! The pig melt was incredible and the homemade Bbq sauces where amazing too! I will make it a point to stop there again in route to my next trip to El Paso or Las Cruces. With everything going up in price I was shocked that my bill was under under $10 since I had my own bottle of water!

    Different flavor style of BBQ, but not Texas style. Many sauces. Good fries, but very pricey.

My companion had the Belgian waffles (I'm not sure which item, specifically) and it was like a dessert plate with all the whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Also very good.

When we arrived there was nobody else waiting and yet we had to wait about 5 minutes for the staff to "set a table" for us. When we were seated there were at least six empty tables already set. When we left about 45 minutes later, a lot of previously occupied tables still had dirty dishes on them (but not all of them), and nobody was cleaning them up. Just like when we got here, there were lots of tables ready to go and yet the lobby was full of people waiting to be seated and even more people waiting outside.

We were able to flag down a server for more chips, but it seemed like this was a constant issue. The queso tasted like Velveeta, but was better with the salsa mixed in. Definitely not worth the price. My hubby had the Estrella Tacos, which were surprisingly good and reasonably priced! I tried a side of the calabasitas with no idea what to expect and found them quite tasty. Overall, it just felt a bit odd. Service was lackluster, food was hit or miss. Would try again, maybe at a different time of day.
