    CFS Our Famous Chicken-Fried Steak
    Scott L.

    Green Chili Cheese Burger Celebration! Back in New Mexico! Delicious perfectly medium black angus from the local Flying W Diamond Ranch in Capitan. With AYCE salad bar $17.00 a steal! Fantastic service from Raven and her shadow, Bianca, who is so lucky to have a wonderful trainer!

    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$...

    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.

    Pasta E Veal Milanesa

    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.

    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.

    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...

    Food was served lukewarm, the taste was undesirable. However, the free roll appetizers were good.

    Everything here was great. The service was awesome and they have a great selection of beer on tap…read morewhich we loved. They do not appear to serve liquor though so be prepared for that. The homemade salsa was fantastic. It was so garlicky and had a good kick thank you for seasoning your food! And the burger, that was a backyard, 4th of July type burger. It was great!

    First off, been here before, the food was good, the beer was better than most in El Paso. But I'll…read morenever go back here or recommend it to anyone coming to Ruidoso. Called inquiring about reservations, told it's first come first serve and I should expect about a 15-20 min wait. Showed up, 3 adults w/ 3 kids at 5:30. Was told I was the 2nd name behind an 11 top, and should be able to be seated in 5 min due to a few tables just waiting to be cleared upstairs. 20 mins later I watched them clear a 6 top at the front door downstairs, then split it so they could seat two tables of 4 who had shown up after my family. After waiting another 10 min I asked about how long we were looking at, the woman at the door told me she would go upstairs and check on the table, she returned to inform me that I was now looking at probably 20 min before we could be seated. We left... I don't know if the elderly woman working as a hostess at the door is an owner, a wife, family friend, or simply a pity hire due to her old age, but she has no business working customer service at a restaurant. She lied to me and several other groups about wait times, and seating availability only to double down several times about how soon we will be seated. She obviously has zero idea about how food service works, customer service relations, or kitchen service/food service times. Side note: an obviously drunk group of six made their way in during my wait, the bartender had no issue serving them, fingers crossed they weren't driving home, but I doubt anyone is that lucky.
