Great service! Food was tasty. Nice atmosphere. Very good selection of breakfast and lunch items.

Food was amazing, young lady taking orders and cashiering was absolutely rude, definitely needs some customer service training, this type of person could really do some damage to a well established business like yours. read more

Cashier Mariah, was super nice. Good food, fresh ingredients, hamburger you can see! (Not like the chain restaurants) read more

Decent road food. The pastrami is non-traditional on white toast. The bread started to fall apart as I ate it so it became an eating & juggling deal. My wife had the burger with green chili and she remarked it was quite spicy in a good way. The hand cut fries had the potential to be great. They were pulled from the fryer about 3 minutes too soon. The coleslaw was creamy and crisp. So pro tip if you're getting fries I suggest ask for "extra crispy". They have a dog-friendly patio. I recommend not bringing German Shepherds, the owner shared an incident where she was bitten by two earlier this year. read more

Restaurant pickings were slim in Fort Sumner, NM, and I wasn't too sure about Rodeo Grill based on the outside appearance. But since we were almost hangry we decided to take a chance. I'm glad we did. The menu was varied, the food was good and the atmosphere was fun. Give it a try if you're in the area. read more

We were traveling to Santa Fe and stopped for lunch. The building is modest, but the cars in the parking lot were a good recommendation. We ordered the fried okra appetizer and it was great. Then we had the crispy chicken salad which was beyond our expectations. Not only was the lettuce fresh and crisp, there were lots of fresh crunchy vegetables as well as the crispy fried chicken. This more than filled us up. The ambiance was clean and homey. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. A delicious memory on our road trip. read more

This place was recommended on Waze when driving to Dallas and didn't want the typical fast food. Service was super friendly and our order came out quick. The place seemed like the owners/employees really cared to take care of it. Bathroom was clean and out door seating was nice! I liked that the locals all seemed to know each other but were very nice. Definitely would stop in when driving thru. read more

Very cute feel to the restaurant. I loved how much variety they had with the menu! The lady who helped us was so friendly and nice. Rodeo Grill has a real hometown feel. A big disappointment was that you cannot substitute French fries for onion rings without paying $6.75 more! I would be willing to pay $2-$3 more, but almost $7 for onion rings instead of fries?!? That being said, I went with the fries. We ordered chips and salsa, the steak finger combo, and the Billy the Kid Burger combo. Chips and Salsa: nice hot salsa and fresh chips. With fresh chips, you have the risk of undercooking them. I felt this was the case, but my husband absolutely loved them. I ate the crispy parts and he had the softer parts. Steak Finger Combo: The steak fingers were hot from the fryer, deliciously breaded, and TASTY. I was completely surprised by how much I liked them. The fries were hand cut, and fried well. They were crispy on the outside and mushy inside. The Billy the Kid Burger: We loved the square ciabatta bun! The whole presentation was neat. The burger was fresh and juicy. The green chili added that delicious spice that is vital to a New Mexican burger. Oh, and gotta love the crispy bacon! The last thing on my list is price. I already went over the onion rings, but the rest of the food was a little costly. Overall, I would pay it again because I really enjoyed the food. This might not be the type of burger joint to take your little ones to, but it is a nice place to sit and eat with friends and family. read more

Quite possibly the best family-owned experience I've ever had! I had their cheeseburger and fries, my husband had their sausage breakfast burrito. Everything was so full of flavor! It was very clear everything was handcrafted, with well-seasoned ground beef for their patties, and an incredibly powerful salsa to compliment their burritos. Definitely make a point of stopping here to say hi to Jeff Cortese, and try his fresh cut fries! read more

Rodeo Grill - The sprawling menu with unique and original items. - American Near Me - Fort Sumner, New Mexico

We left Lincoln, NM this morning and after spending some time in Roswell, we headed north for Fort Sumner. We arrived about 1:00 just in time for lunch. My wife had a California burger and I had the steak fingers. Both meals were accompanied by handcut fries, which always are a plus on a menu. Both of our meals were very good. The gravy accompanying my steak fingers was delicious. Service was great. read more

Good burger at fair price. Had the billy the kid it was a green chile and bacon burger very good. Will come again when in town.

Maybe there's another Rodeo Grill in Fort Sumner but I doubt it. As far as restaurants go there's pretty slim pickings which may explain why Rodeo Grill has such a high rating. When we visited there were some locals who loudly remained during our entire stay. The establishment seems to be run by some young women who were not particularly friendly. You go in to a counter, the menu is on the wall. You order, get your coffee and go to a table and they bring you your food. Seems a little pricey. Their specials were $9 and $11. I opted for the bacon and egg burrito, $4.50, kind of small. My wife got sausages, eggs, potatoes and toast, $7.95. The food tasted okay. The little hash browns were especially good. The coffee thermos ran out as I was pouring my second cup but she promptly took action to refill it. No decaf. Only pink sweeteners and powdered creamer at the table. Good coffee . No ceramic cups, just small styrofoam. It's an older building in disrepair. Many would say it has character. Character was further demonstrated by having all the condiments on each table within a stirrup. Kind of quirky. The bathroom was really nice and spacious. We didn't go to any of the other restaurants in Fort Sumner but next time I think we might just drive onto Santa Rosa. read more

As far as dives in the middle of nowhere go, it was good. They had a nice variety of burgers and sandwiches. They also had salads and chicken/steak finger baskets. They have a large breakfast menu, too. The ingredients were fresh and the staff was nice. For lunch in the middle of a long road trip, it was fine. As my husband said, "It was a lot better than McDonald's!" read more

Got green chile & swiss cheese burger to go. Green chile's were good & hot like I like them!! Onion rings were fried with a crisp & good tasting batter! We will stop again when passing through. Just FYI, Steak fingers were frozen & not fresh like the burgers. read more

The brisket sandwich I ordered was bad and underwhelming. It's value felt more like $6.99 but t cost $13.99. Waaaaaaay too much. I only ate the meat from it because I was hungry and we had another 2 hrs to our next destination. Had to pick away a lot of fatty parts. I liked the kool aid they had to drink but it's not like that's homemade or anything. Good fries so I'll bump it up to 3 instead of 2 stars. I wouldn't go back but I think my husband liked his burger. read more

We stopped here on the way home from Albuquerque, NM. Very family friendly, down home atmosphere with a kind lady taking your order and fair prices. I wasn't impressed with the turkey club, but their chicken strips were fresh and hot (not from the freezer either, they tasted homemade), and my husband said the "Billy the Kid" burger was one of the best he'd ever had. Will definitely try again when we come back that way! read more

Stoped in on the way back to DFW. My son and I had their cheeseburger. Best cheeseburger we've had in a while!

Tasty, if off the beaten path. Fort Sumner's own Rodeo Grill delivers great burgers, fresh cut fries, and homey atmosphere. Steak fingers were premade and formerly frozen, but my kids didn't care. Sourdough BLT burger and Billy The Kid burger were fresh made and tasty. Family run dining at its finest. read more

We enjoyed this little stop in the middle of nowhere. Traveling through this part of NM doesn't offer much in the way of food, but the Rodeo Grill was surprisingly good. Nice selection. We had the cod and it was good. The place was very 'Rodeo' in every way. The servers were sweet. I'd go back. read more

We first ordered burgers from rodeo grill and they were not seasoned and bland. We then tried ordering food from there AGAIN on Father's Day thinking maybe it was just a fluke. I ordered the "special" which was spaghetti with meat sauce and a salad, and my husband ordered a billy the kid burger. My spaghetti was INEDIBLE! The sauce was swimming with thyme, cold and was a gloopy excuse for marinara. I thought well at least I have a salad, wrong! The salad was fine but the ranch was basically a soup and I suspect they water it down to stretch their product. The burger however wasn't awful but average, the bun was too big and thick to accommodate the meat and the fries were not seasoned. My child ordered the chicken strip basket and that was the best entree, congratulations you can use a deep fryer!! If hungry and desperate order the burger or something deep fried. read more

Had a great hamburger at this unassuming local restaurant. The service was friendly and fast. Everything is made fresh every morning, hamburger patties, hand cut french fries and buns. They have a full menu of various hamburger and hotdog toppings. Also have club sandwiches and chicken fried steak. Authentic establishment with great food. Lastly , the portions are generous. read more

$30 for three $5 sandwiches... Only two were combos (fries and drink). Place is way too expensive. Also the tables are sticky.

Extremely friendly service great hamburgers great atmosphere great country western place

We come to Fort Sumner once a year, and love Rodeo. They have great breakfast (eggs, bacon, and roasted potatoes) and excellent burgers for lunch. Try the Billy the Kid burger with jalapeños, or the California burger with Avocado. The Hawaiian burger with Pine Apple is good though. Add to this the nice staff and great New Mexico atmosphere! I wish they would open in the evenings too and get a liquor license. read more
