    Breakfast Burger and Mac n Cheese
    Kristin C.

    We stopped in on a friday around 7pm after a movie. Only a couple tables were occupied. After eating here I can easily say this place should be packed ALL THE TIME. The menu is varied, there is something for everyone. Service was exceptional, we never needed a thing. Food was delicious and well prepared/seasoned. This will definitely be a regular spot for us. Please go show them some love. And next time we stop on a Friday I'll be thrilled if the line is out the door

    Ordered the Green Chili cheeseburger with grilled onions and the upscale sauce on the side. Burger was delicious, you can tell they freshly prepare the meat. The meat was thicccc the sauce was delicious! Glad I got it on the side to dip the fries in. Fries were thin and crispy- my fav! Service was fast and attentive, shout out for good service! I will be here asap. This is the second location, first location is in the cottonwood mall.

    Avocado Chicken melt

    I've heard and seen so many good things about Upscale and decided to give it a try myself. We wanted to stay local so we headed out this afternoon to try it. Located in a mini shopping area behind Hot Tamales. Parking lot is narrow so just be careful driving in and out of that area. We were greeted by friendly staff members, Michelle, was our waitress and she was very attentive and gave great service. She gave us some time to look over the menu. Even directed us to the specials menu that they change every other day. I decided to try the Chicken and Avocado Melt. I was told that this is not a sandwich, it is served over a bed of fries. I still went for it and got mine with sweet potato fries. I enjoyed it because it was flavorful. I wish I had more of the chipotle aioli because the chicken didn't have much on it. It was a little dry, so that aioli would have probably helped out. Instead, I ended up using that green salsa that was on the table. It was vinegar based, but it tasted good on the chicken. The sweet potato fries, were seasoned just right. Not too salty. My husband tried the Bacon and Bleu burger. The burger was really tasty. The patty was actually bigger than the bun. Which is pretty awesome. It was juicy too. We didn't get any dessert because we were too full to get any. But they do have a selection of desserts and shakes. I wanted to try one, but it would probably fill me up. Thank you for the good service. We will be back here again soon.

    What a pleasant surprise. We decided to try upscale Rio and not only was the food really good. The service was so friendly, nice and accommodating. That's what we need more of these days. The ambience was nice. They had several tables most were taken, which tells you that other people like the food as well.

    Bbq smokehouse burger
    Genieen G.

    Went to upscale burger for the first time and loved it! We went during lunch and though the parking lot is smaller we were able to easily find a parking. There were a lot of open tables and it was not too loud. We were quickly seated and all the servers were very friendly. My husband and I had ordered the brisket quesadilla appetizer and also both ordered the bbq smokehouse burger. The burger and quesadilla themselves were amazing. Only downside was that our appetizer came after our burgers so we didn't have a full chance to enjoy the appetizer.... However our server was new and still learning the register he explained and he was so kind that it made it no big deal. Will definitely be going back for another visit!

    Coffee shake provided and energy boost for the evening!

    Good service, good food and love was in the air on Valentine's Day when we visited Upscale Rio! We made a reservation, but we ate our meal early before the crowd arrived around 6PM. So, about 1/3 of the tables were seated when we arrived. This is a great local place to try and splurge on getting shakes or dessert, too!

    I was excited to try this place after seeing the good reviews. Let me just say, if it was not for our friendly and attentive waitress, Destiny, I would be giving a 1 star review. Upon seeing all of the mac n cheese options I thought I would try the base mac n cheese without the fancy addition just to get a base line. It was a complete disappointment. Very bland, no flavor what so ever and so so dry. I added pepper just to be able to taste something. Do not recommend at all. I had to open the pepper shaker just to get some pepper out. They use fine ground pepper and the shaker was completely clogged. The fries were very greasy and super soggy. I like the shoestring cut but not when they are not crispy. My husband ordered the steak fingers after seeing other reviews about them being actual steak. They were an absolute grease bomb. I wish I would have taken a picture of the black plate with all of the grease from the steak fingers and fries. Yuck! We like to keep it local but this one is not for us.

    Well that should be a 4" slice of Red Velvet cake.

    Oh NO... I have eaten here since they opened. I had lunch today and No chicken fried steak??? Only served for dinner. Look at this slice of cake I got to go!! Absolutely pissed... Always great Food!!! Service is mediocre.

    We came the 1st time shortly after they opened. Our early experience was pretty good and decided to see if they got better. Today we chose Steak Fingers with fries and the Chipotle Tortilla Burger with Sweet Potato Fried. Then we added a Turtle Shake. The steak fingers were delicious - lightly fried and with batter that flaked off the beef. I was expecting gravy but it came with something more like a sauce. The tortilla burger was lightly seasoned on a tortilla - prob more than what was needed. Came with cheese, avocado and onions. We held the jalapeños. Regardless it had great flavor. Portion size was good, we left food on the plate. These guys are on the right track.

    First time ordering food, 2nd time getting a shake. That burger was huge! They don't skimp on their toppings and the burger was great!! Fries hand cut and while they were great, eating them in the restaurant or order than extra crispy. Great with hey gave me ketchup too. Definitely going to return.

    We were in town for a wedding and we had been here once before. Awesome food and great service. We…read morewere there very early so not too many people around. Clean and friendly plus lots of nice pictures of our veterans.

    Wow . This was one of the best DoorDash meals I've had in a very very long time. The food itself is…read morea very solid 5+ star meal. Outstanding! I don't even know where to start but here goes. The New Mexican Philly cheesesteak, arguably my favorite dish, very very different take on what a cheesesteak usually is (not in a bad way). I was first skeptical when I ordered it, but I saw all the great reviews on the dish so I had to try. This was oddly enough my 4th favorite Philly cheesesteak I've ever had, which is weird to say because the first 3 favorites were actually in Philly and made the traditional way. Something about the spicy queso sauce and the soft fatty tasting meat just really brought it home. The huevos rancheros: every inch was flavorful , saucy, cheesy and lovely. I enjoyed even more the parts where I could also taste the tortilla at the bottom, wish it was in more of the dish but it's okay the flavors were outstanding. Another 5 star dish! Next time I'll also try it with eggs over medium. The Xmas chile cheese fries: best chile cheese fries in New Mexico! The fries themselves tasted like they were hand cut, so either they had some high quality freezer fries or they definitely cut those fries by hand. Either way I wasn't complaining! Their green chile was insanely good. We also had the Green Chile stew, the flavors and ingredients were really good. I think for people that love home cooking this will feel really nostalgic for them. Like grandmas caldo she used to make. For me, the dry texture of the beef reminded me way too much of my mom's dry / rough beef she always had in her stews . Objectively I can say it was a really nice caldo, but the tortillas, not sure how I could grab on to much of the food with it really. I think this might be a dish best eaten in house. I also tipped their staff $2 in addition to the driver tip , and they wrote a funny joke on the plate which I thought was cute haha. I kept the rating at 5 stars but I hope that management reads this review because I do have one critique. All the food was in styrofoam and non sustainable plastic. Styrofoam especially has been banned from some places including California because when heated it, it adds cancer causing chemicals into your food. I would gladly pay $0.35 per meal to receive the meals in sustainable packaging that will keep me healthy. Because of this, I think I won't be ordering from here for delivery and hope that I have time to make the 20 minute drive to go there in person. It's really good food! Found this place on DoorDash but the funny part is it's been near my house the whole time next to the barber shop I've been to plenty of times.

They seem understaffed. The building is nice And floors are relatively clean. Clientele is over 40. I don't feel welcomed. 22 beers on tap. Was not offered a food menu. Taps are pouring foamy and unbalanced. Waitress compensated by using two glasses and topping off the original. Interesting. Dunkel not retaining foam or lacing. obvious problems with taps not pouring properly. Lip gloss still on my dirty glass. Pilsner no foam but did lace glass. Disgusting. I can see why even with good beer they are in trouble. Could have been a lot better. With so many options these days I won't be coming back nor developing brand loyalty. I'll hate to give a bad review because I like marble and expected a lot more. This tap room needs work. I dont blame the waitress. I tipped her more than I should have and she was nice after. thats why I came to a place I've never been Because my gratuity changes the experience. Beer 5/10 Overall service 1/10

My dining companion…read morewas craving something from another restaurant on the other side of town, but considering it was so late, I suggested coming here as it had similar things on the menu, and I am so glad I suggested this place. We walked in, and the place was a little crowded, but we were still sat pretty quickly. I liked the atmosphere of the place because it seemed very open, inviting, and had a certain local charm to it. As soon as my dining companion saw the people around us getting their food delivered it looked so good she no longer remembered what we came for and we ended up ordering something completely different. We didn't wait long for our waitress to come over. She was very nice and attentive I asked her for a drink recommendations, and she mentioned some good ones. Considering the day before was New Year's Eve and I probably should've took a break from drinking, I said say screw it and got something light. It was a blood orange cider, and it was delicious, I was not expecting it to taste like that! Unable to make our minds up, we decided to split a salad and pizza. For the salad I wanted to get the Valley grande, but we compromised and got the brazos which was essentially a Caesar salad. That's how it was huge. We had enough to share and more, it was also tasty, the dressing. You could tell was definitely house made. For the pizza we decided to get a split half truchas and half chimayo (my half) and it was amazing the flavor was great and the topping fresh. Although next time I will ask for well done. On to dessert. The best thing we ordered all night was the Apple calzone. It seemed to be the size of a little football and came with two scoops of ice cream. I could tell it was made to order and it was absolutely delicious! We cannot wait to go back.
