Wonderful BBQ and a great experience!…read more Red Chimney BBQ was a wonderful dining experience! The interior has a quintessential steakhouse-meets-log-cabin vibe--warm, rustic, and inviting. The food was fabulous. We ordered the one-meat special and chose the smoked turkey. Due to dietary restrictions, we could only have the mac and cheese and macaroni salad as our two sides. The turkey was smoked perfectly--nice and moist and, most importantly, not dry! The BBQ sauce had a nice tang that complemented the turkey perfectly. Both sides were also very good, and the portions were generous for the price. The prices here are very reasonable. Jill, the owner, was incredibly nice, and we had a lovely conversation about New Mexico. The service was top-notch, which made the whole experience even better. If we're ever back in Carlsbad, we'll definitely be back! And maybe by then, we'll be able to put brisket back on our menu! Thank you to Jill and her staff for a truly pleasant dining experience. Highly recommended!

The staff is friendly and seated us as soon as we got there. The decor is as described. But what sealed the deal is their homemade Sourdough Cobbler! Cherries galore! The crust was perfect too!

Sometimes ya gotta make choices! We did and I highly recommend this restaurant.

The waitress who served us was wonderful, friendly, attentive, and incredibly kind to our dog. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were generous. The only negative part of the evening had nothing to do with the restaurant. A man seated next to us spent much of dinner being rude and entitled, repeatedly questioning how the salmon was prepared, criticizing the wine list, and generally acting unpleasant toward the staff. The blonde waitress with glasses handled the situation with impressive patience and professionalism. Honestly, it took restraint not to say something myself. She did a fantastic job dealing with a very difficult customer and deserves recognition for it.

It looks like it's been there awhile but is very well kept and clean. The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered chicken fried steak, a burger and the Flume chicken. Everything was very good and you couldn't have gone wrong with any of these dishes. The salad bar was very tempting and I would definitely give it a try.

*** outstanding tamales in Southeastern New Mexico ***…read more I popped into Fernando's Tamales in Carlsbad, NM hoping to take home at least two dozen in my cooler. Just before 11 AM I learned that they were completely out of red pork. I could have waited a half hour for a batch, but I didn't. I already had obligations to which I was en route. So I settled for a half dozen green chile cheese and a half dozen chicken with green chile ($26). They were delicious - even reheated! Make sure to get change if you pay cash. I handed a young lady $40 and she closed the drawer and started to walk off. Lol. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 5 | Service: 3 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4
