    Read Reviews, but could not believe RibCrib could be as bad.... NM is not known for BBQ. Stick to Mexican. Clearly Texans passing by will find the brisket very dry. Best use the sauces. Baby back ribs were also very dry, but fell off bone, and both meats appeared well cooked. Very little smoky flavor....processed on New Jersey? Yelp provided FREE App with checkin. Glad Fried Pickles were free....way too much breading. Finally I got two side salads. Picking out wilted lettuce isn't impressive, but in Roswell it goes with the territory.

    Fried pickles
    Kenyon E.

    We made Roswell a stopping point on our road trip. RibCrib had a patio and welcomed our dog! It was a bit chilly outside but they had heaters to help with that. The server was amazing. He checked on us frequently and gave lots of suggestions. On and now the food. You have to be hungry to come here bc the portions are insane! We got the fried pickles and they were good but heavy on the breading. My husband got ribs and he said they were good. I got a loaded potato and man it was too big. I managed to eat half of it and then had to throw in the towel. Wish I lived closer and then that would have been great leftovers.

    Chips and queso
    Larry P.

    Food was excellent. Wife had the salad and it was impressive. Huge portion. She said it tasted great. I had the BBQ sandwich with pulled pork. Meat was very tasty and tender. The queso and chips were very tasty. Service was very good. We sat outside because of our dog so not sure of how the inside looked, but it was very nice on the small patio.

    Fun place to eat with pretty good food. Service was good. Will definitely stop here on next trip thru.

    Everything was really good I just didn't care for the coleslaw.. there was some sort of garlic sauce in it, but the beans and brisket were amazing!! My husband also said his burger was good, and the kids meal was the perfect size. The service was very friendly, and the restaurant was clean. I thought the prices were a little high but the food was still worth it.

    Dry over cooked brisket and bad ribs. Fast service so they likely have their food sitting around drying out all day

    Quick look rating:  5/5 Food & Quality, 5/5 Experience, 5/5 Will I return or purchase again?…read more ***To note: This is only a review of one of the products of Poppa Pokey's, the bbq sauce "Sweet Dragon's Breath." Life is so fun! I was just sent a Christmas gift package from one of my childhood friends. Inside was a number of wonderful top notch "foodie" products from New Mexico. We spent time growing up in NM and are fond of foodie items. What a kind gesture, that he sent! One of the items was this BBQ sauce from Poppa Pokey's, the "Sweet Dragon's Breath." I had picked up some pulled pork from a fantastic local restaurant, "The Rustic" to try out this sauce, on a quick adventure. The pulled pork was wonderful by itself, tried the pulled pork first and then with the sauce. Wow and holy cow, what a great sauce. I'm not much of a bbq sauce person, but this sauce is wonderful. Since then I have tried the sauce on three other items and I'm very impressed by this sauce! What a fantastic Christmas gift was the "Sweet Dragon's Breath" BBQ sauce! How fun, it says it is "hot," but I was ready for more heat. Still you could taste the meat and it was not overpowering Poppa Pokeys currently has three different bbq sauces, and only tasting just the "Sweet Dragon's Breath," I'm very impressed! The owner of this great sauce works for a gas company, but is a big foodie and over the years he has put together a great bbq sauce. If you go to his website you can see that he has placed it in small gas stations all over New Mexico, for when folks go in to refill their gas tanks, you will see the bbq sauce. The gas stations that they belong to are from the main company he works. ***Love: I love the fact that when I read the back of the bottle, I can pronounce the all of the ingredients. Second thing, it's is unbelievable on nearly anything that I put it on! Third, he is a small town guy that has followed his heart and has an outstanding product! Good for you sir, to the small town foodie! Go get e'm sir! Hope he can sell it here in Dallas soon! I do believe, that's some big company is going to come along and taste his products and mass-produce it! I would highly recommend this "Sweet Dragon's Breath" bbq sauce!

    Leaving work after a long day, I knew I wanted steak. I'm not from Roswell, so I had to rely on…read moreYelp and Google to tell me what was available. Now the other alternative was Texas Roadhouse. Don't get me wrong, I'm regionally from where Texas Roadhouse was founded and it's huge, especially where I'm from. But part of my philosophy when traveling is to try someplace new, traditionally NOT a chain. So I gave this a shot. Cattle Baron reminds me of those old school steakhouses in the 90s that served steaks and an AYCE salad bar. Except it's much nicer ambiance-wise with a broader menu. I ordered the largest ribeye steak they had with a loaded baked potato, unlimited salad bar, a Coca-Cola, and a brownie for dessert. The total for ALL that ended up being $48.35. That's really cheap considering I had to be rolled out on a stretcher (joking). The most expensive item was the steak, in the $30-range but an unlimited salad bar for $4.95 and dessert for $6.95 can't be beat. The salad bar had everything you'd want in a salad bar with fresh veggies and toppings along with two soups, premade salads, and a sampling of sweet items like jello and fruit. I got 2 plates from the bar and two small bowls of soup. The steak and potato soup was good but the chicken soup was a bit salty for my taste. My steak and loaded potato was good and hit the spot. The potato was kind of dry, assuming it was a potato, already cooked hours ago and they just pulled it out to serve to me. After smothering it in butter and sour cream, the dryness disappeared. The steak was cooked medium rare, so no issues there but there was very little seasoning. I added salt and pepper to it, which made it a lot better. I wish it had a little bit more searing/char to it. I ended the meal with a brownie and ice cream, with caramel drizzle. The brownie was fairly large and warm, with a nice scoop of ice cream and ample ribbons of caramel sauce. It was really delicious and not too overly sweet! It definitely put me over the food coma edge. Service was good, but slow. My waitress explained to me that it was slow because a table of 39 people showed up, so she apologized. It didn't bother me though because I was so tired from working nearly 12 hours that day. I'm glad I supported local and my meal was definitely worth the price.
