If you are in Cloudcroft a stop at BIL BBQ should be a requirement. The staff here are so kind and…read morehappy to answer questions you have. I got a chopped brisket sandwich and a pint of chili. No wait and was ready in about a minute Chopped brisket sandwich ($12); had a good half pound+ of melt in your mouth brisket on a soft bun that was still able to maintain its structure when the tangy sweet bbq sauce poured over it Chili is legit a hearty all meat chili bursting with flavor, mostly meaty with a slight tomato base flavor. A half pint ($5) is perfect for a meal for one or share between two/three people if you each have a sandwich or plate. Very tasty and probably top 3 I've ever had. If you are in the area and want BBQ with no wait you NEED to stop by. I can see why the locals prefer BIL and I'm aligned with them on it as well!

My momma was excited to see this place in Ruidoso. She said it's one of her favorite places to eat…read moreat in Temple, TX. She had my mouth watering talking about brisket quesadillas and brisket baked potatoes. It was a little disappointing they didn't have these items, but they did have great BBQ, a good amount of seating, and patio dining with a beautiful view. Mom ordered a pulled pork sandwich, Pops got a sliced brisket sandwich, and my little buddy and I shared half a smoked chicken, chopped brisket, mac and cheese, and corn on the cob. The chopped brisket was definitely the star item on the table. My little buddy usually dislikes any kind of good gourmet mac and cheese, but he ate the whole bowl. The chicken was also really good. I loved the smoked flavor it had. The service was good and the food came out really quick. I think they should add some really good rolls and maybe four or five unique items to their menu.

The meat was incredibly tender and fell right off the bone. The jalapeno poppers were also a hit. We noticed many customers were placing to-go orders, which speaks volumes. If you're in Roswell, this is the place to eat. Plenty of parking too, right on the main street.

We are so lucky to have found this place and get to taste some of Jim's BBQ!!…read more It's located a little out of town, or before town depending on which direction you are traveling. It is a super easy stop if you're coming through the area, plenty of parking and some cool planes to look at as well. Jim greeted us as we entered and took our order as well as served us and explained all the different color coded sauce options! Oh my was everything tasty! The side dishes were just as impressive as the meats! Hard to believe this all started because a friend asked Jim to make some BBQ for his birthday party! I want to say thank you for the hospitality and wonderful food you shared with us we had a wonderful lunch in restaurant and took the leftovers home for dinner with our selection of our favorite sauces. Definitely check this place out, another tip the gas station at the same exit on other side of freeway is one of the cheapest around too! So one stop shopping full yourself and the car up!

My work team goes out once a month for a "local lunch" and our goal is small business. We heard…read morethat Jim Bob's has great brisket, so off we went. We arrived and there was already a delicious wafting of smoke and BBQ sauce when we opened the door. Yum. I got a 2 meat platter with spare ribs and brisket. It included 2 sides and I got fries and cornbread. Others had the Haystack burger, a 2 meat plate with brisket and turkey, a Jim Bobs burger and a pulled pork sandwich. I have no photo evidence of our meals because we all dove right in when served. My ribs were spicy, but the meat was very good. The brisket was outstanding. It was more food than I expected and I shared half of the brisket and one rib. The cornbread was warm and perfect and the fries were hot and had a nice coating on them. I'm so full there's no need for dinner! Everybody raved about their food. We loved the look of the restaurant, it's plane themed and it works! The meals were served in a reasonable amount of time, the woman who took our orders came over with our food and made sure we had everything we needed. We got to see a helicopter take off and a small jet arrive and that was certainly different than any other restaurant in town! And as an added treat, we stopped to see the repurposed public art Roadrunner on our way back into town. It was a great way to enjoy a little movement after a big lunch!
