Took 7 of us around 5 Friday evening and it was packed. Only took 15 minutes to get a table, not bad! We ordered everything from ribeye to soup or salad. To a person we were thrilled with our meals. Big portions and big flavors. The chicken fried chicken was plate size with a side of green chile battered and deep fried, like a chile relleno sans cheese. Delicious! Our server kept up with the calamity that was our table and I couldn't believe she did it with such grace. Great job. I added a salad bar trip to the CfriedC and it included dessert. Many options on the salad bar and everything was fresh and stocked full. Everyone enjoyed their meal and a couple left with to go boxes. One thing that I would change was the volume of the live music. Good song choices and singing but it was so loud we could not comfortably talk to each other during the meal. We'd all go back and may this trip. Enjoy! read more

I have been a tried and true fan of the cattle baron for years. I tried k-bobs on a recommendation, I am not disappointed. I was going to miss the CB salad bar. But lo and behold, k-bobs has a salad wagon. It is every bit what you want and a few extras, roasted green chilies and a great green chile corn chowder. I opted for the rellenos with steak strips, they were not traditional rellenos but still great the meat was satisfying and the chile spicey. They were on rice pilaf, it worked and thier beans are flavorful and satisfying. They have home made rolls i think are better than rodehouse!! All in all it was a win, great iced tea friendly service and a satisfying meal. I will gladly come back!! read more

K-BOB's Steak House Ruidoso - Green chile burger - Steakhouses Near Me - Ruidoso, New Mexico

Group of 6 visited K-Bobs Saturday night. Had about 20 minutes wait which was okay, once seated this is when things went downhill. Yes, it was a bit crowded but service was very slow. 3 of us had orders messed up. Only thing worth eating is the salad bar and dinner rolls. Steak quality is subpar at best. Worst rib eye ever, full of gristle, and not seasoned well at all. Friends had the prime rib, was anything but prime beef. The worst. Maybe order something other than steak during your visit read more

2.5/10 Waitress was nice! Nice decorations TVs, And the sirloin was good that's where the good ends... Not as good as time... Cold Ranchers Stake. Party was disappointed. The hurricane cocktail was alright The loaded baked potato tasted like soap... Strawberry Daiquinquri was heavily watered down compared to last time... The fish & chips tasted bland. Overall bad experience. For this food I would have payed under 10$ but the average was 30$... read more

OVERALL K-BOB's Steak House in Ruidoso, NM, is a good choice for a sit-down meal with a fantastic salad bar and alcoholic beverages. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4 PARKING The lot gets packed due to nearby motels in the same area. LOCATION/AMBIANCE It's got Old West vibes + horse racing memorabilia everywhere. When you walk in, to the right is the bar area. The salad bar is situated in an old wagon. Pretty clever. THE GRUB + kid's mini corn dogs with steak fries + kid's mac n cheese w/ steak fries (neither kid was crazy about the fries) + adult all-you-can-eat salad bar $11.99 + Sprite ($3.09) LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB As of May 3, 2024, everything on their kid's menu was $6.99 including one side, a small drink, and ice cream. Add a one-time salad bar visit for $2.99 with each kid's meal. SERVICE Our waitress Phyllis was friendly and efficient. The hostess was a nice, but a bit standoffish with my kids. MY FAVORITE PART... The salad wagon! NOT SO FAVORITE PART... My receipt said I could have it removed, but there was a $.58 donation for "K-CARE." I still have no idea what that is. Plus, the small trash can in the way near the kitchen. Why is it where folks walk?! TIP If there's a wait, give them your mobile number that you most likely have in your hand. They'll text you when your table is ready. There is a ton of seating room just past the restrooms. read more

This was our 25th wedding anniversary. We brought the family to celebrate. It was awful. The steaks were way overcooked and had a hard time cutting them. The gravy was watery, and the vegetables were so salty we couldn't eat them. The hostesses were not happy to be there, but the server was very pleasant. We won't be back. read more

Great ribeye, great salad bar, great service! We enjoyed eating there twice in our last trip.

Ordered the sirloin steak with mashed and one trip to wagon salad bar. Everything in salad bar was very fresh. It was a bit dirty. Wish they did a bit better with cleaning it. My steak was ordered medium well and they did well with cooking. Tasted great. Service was good. Only one soup and beans in salad bar. Like I said, it was ok. Nothing crazy good though. read more

The food was delicious, my husband had the New York strip 14oz and I had the fish basket. The service was great, our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We liked the ambiance as well. We look forward to going back there. read more

I wouldn't expect to have pasta at a steak house, but they do! It's on the Chef's Table part of the menu. It comes with fusilli pasta, veal, squash, and tomato basil sauce, but it was all around amazing. Service is good, but if you sit in the far end of the building, good luck trying to flag down your waiter. But it doesn't happen a lot thankfully. Most of the time the restaurant is quiet, it really depends on what time you arrive. They have a salad bar with tons of options, and some soups and puddings. K-Bob's is a good place to sit down and have a good meal. But then again, try not to sit in the back booths if it's a quiet day. read more

Had the grilled catfish. Had not had catfish in a long time. Returned the next day with friends.. did not disappoint

First of all, our waitress was THE BOMB and was on top of her service! The salad bar was nicely stocked and clean, except for the ham, which is funny. My husband and I order the Prime Rib plate. He ordered okra and I ordered mashed potatoes and brown gravy, our son order the shrimp and scallops plate. Turns out they were out of prime rib, which is a pet peeve of mine because a STEAK PLACE shouldn't run out of prime rib. So we ordered the Merchant, medium rare. My plate came out looking like it was smeared with dried on mashed potatoes, and obviously NOT medium rare. I was done at this point and just ate the salad bar. They did not charge us for my plate or the salad bar, and like I said, our waitress was The Bomb, but I will probably not ever come back. I also would like to note that I never saw a manager, which seems odd. read more

Ordered take out 3 nights in a row, out here for a work trip. First 2 nights the food was decent, burger meal and a Nashville chicken meal. Customer service was not really present. Third night, ordered steak and the cut was very chewy. Called and they put me on hold then hung up, couldn't get anyone to answer after. Went to the restaurant with the full steak, had taken a few bites and spit it back in the tray. They acted rude and bothered, when I finally got another steak, they cooked it extra well done when I ordered medium. Writing the place off if I ever return to Ruidoso. read more

Pat ordered the fried catfish with fried okra she was very pleased said it was delicious I ordered scallops and shrimp. The scallops were so tough I could not swallow them after chewing a long time I had to spit it out. The shrimp was slightly overdone but was chewable. Our waiter was clearly a rookie so the service was not all that. We spoke to the manager about our meals. he was very gracious. He asked me if I wanted money off my bill or would I want him to bring me some more scallops and I asked for the scallops to give him a chance. The second round of scallops were raw and stringy. I could not eat them either. spoke again with the manager and he took off part of the price of my meal. He asked if that would be OK and I agreed. Oh, the warm buns were delightful. Our server brought read more

One of the best restaurants in town. Try the steaks & salad bar and don't forget the green chili

K-Bobs does a nice job. Love their salad bar!! Steaks are good for the price. Nice family place.

Last week we were in town to visit and ate here Reminded me of my childhood at the old salad wagon Wonderful choices for healthy eaters there at the salad wagon Kids had fried pickles and hamburgers Our waiter provided great service and was attentive to our needs-too attentive to the roll service maybe cause we ate them all! Loved the cowboy ambiance, pictures and stories Two gentleman playing live music were really enjoyable I do recommend you stop in and have some cowboy beans with your rolls! read more

So, it's been a minute since I've had a salad buffet bar! I was super excited about this. And you should be too!!!! The salad bar is where it's at. I was here with a group of 15 people. To say we ordered about one of everything on the menu would be almost accurate, I think there were some sandwiches we did not get. Each person was delighted with their meal. The service was a weeee slow, but, um, it was a party of 15! I recognize that can be a task for almost any kitchen. AND no one had any complaints about what they ordered... so.. so and pretty darn spot on. I'll take that! I ordered the salad bar, and let me tell you, that is a meal in itself. If you have a shrimp allergy (like I do) be wary of the fried foods. I told the waitress I had an allergy, she steered me away from the chicken tenders and fries.... One of my pals, who got that meal, found a shrimp in his dish. So, if you have an allergy-- tell your waitstaff!! read more

Everytime my husband and I have visited it's been for takeout, so I can't speak for the restaurant itself! Both times we've gotten to go it's been super good! We got with a steak and baked potatoe! The cobbler was to die for. The first time we got it it was so good that's why we got it a second time! We really should go into sit down for dinner, maybe next time we're in town! read more

It is clean but antiquated. It could use an update. We were seated immediately. Our waitress came and took our drink order quickly. Our food came out correctly and expeditiously. The food is the issue. It doesn't taste fresh. It was bland. Even the fries weren't good. They were seasoned fries and it didn't say that on the menu. We only ate half or less of our entree. The salad bar was good and saved the day. Nothing to write home about... read more

This trip we got it to go. Salad was excellent and chicken fried steak was really good. Take out took longer than expected but the food was hot and tasty. read more

Overall, the food is good I don't know why people are over heading to much l like the burger was really good, but I think they should add a little bit more flavor, but overall fine burger and potato was the top tier and the server was really nice The restaurant ambiance feels really good. I feel like I'm in a Texas restaurant which is Texas roadhouse. Fails to do overall a good restaurant. I will recommend it but over the weeks because it gets full around the weekends read more

food was seasoned well, and well cooked, very friendly staff, wall gallery was very interesting, 10/10 would recommend.

Pretty good. Happy hour beers(4-7) are huge! The salad bar was fresh & tasty. Nice staff. Comfortable booths, reasonable prices.

So my first time visiting Ruidoso and I was HUNGRY! Dinner time was abound, and we made it to this unique place. The place was constantly packed and they had a salad wagon I was looking forward to derail!! Once we were sat down, they brought these amazing dinner rolls and it took a bit for the waitress to come take our order. Once she did, everything flowed better. The only thing is I was looking forward to vicariously eating the steak kaBob through my friend because I can no longer eat beef. But it was a disappointment. She said the meat was super dry. Honestly the best thing we ordered was the salad wagon. The salad and topping varieties were worth the extra cost. The fish my other friend ate was not as good as she expected. I had the chicken fried chicken, and it was ok. The neat part was that they had live music, which was definitely entertaining. Over all its just an average place. read more
