    My local Cattle Baron closed during the pandemic and is sorely missed. When I read that another location had closed, I decided to drive to Hobbs to support that location. It may be nostalgia, but I think it was better than the one I used to frequent. It's all about the salad bar here. It's extensive, with constantly rotated fresh ingredients. I also had the green chile and pepper jack ribeye medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection. The old west atmosphere is pleasant, and our service was prompt and polite. I won't wait so long to go again.

    Bumping my previous rating of Cattle Baron up to 4 stars. This is the best place in town to chat with an old friend and enjoy a salad bar lunch! Their prices for said soup/salad bar are $12.95 per adult (as of 10/31/2022) not including a drink. I like that they give you a ginormous plate to stack all the fresh veggies onto... and they have quite the array. Plus homestyle Ranch dressing--so good! The soups are decent, but they also offer a few side dishes that are good. Not bad because you are allowed to return for seconds, thirds... Our waitress Aylin didn't kick us out or pressure us when my friend & I were deep in discussion about our pasts. Large parking lot. Cozy atmosphere. Full bar. I'm a fan of this lunch routine. Dinner has always been a different story...

    I always stop in at Cattle Baron when visiting my parents in NM - it is a tradition. I was shocked the reviews were so low when opening my app but could not disagree more with the opinions of others when I've always had an awesome experience! I joined 5 other friends for dinner recently during Thanksgiving break and we walked in and had a table within 5 minutes of arriving. We started with the sampler appetizer plate and the delicious bread they bring out when you sit down. It was all amazing and our favorite was the wontons and definitely would recommend. I ordered the steak NM with green chili and pepper jack cheese on top. It was cooked medium to perfection and had a loaded baked potato on the side. Not to mention - SALAD BAR! $4 more to add the epic salad bar is worth it to your meal. They have anything you could dream up for toppings and have a selection of soups too. I enjoyed the chicken enchilada soup the day I went and it was sooooo good! My friends also ordered steaks and one had the bourbon glaze and says it's to die for. I'm not a whiskey fan but if you are, it's a must try! I will be back soon. I always look forward to having dinner here when visiting in NM.

    Good food and good service. Medium prices. A good for a more elegant place to eat.

    A bit pricy for Hobbs, but probably the best salad bar on town. Steaks are ok. Not as good as they used to be. Service is always good.

PROS + beautiful, well-maintained golf course/grounds within view of the dining room + outdoor dining is also available + super friendly, efficient bartender (she's been there every single Wednesday I come in during 2023) + decent food... comes out hot and fresh! + moderately priced + many key places are within the vicinity (see my list below) + pro shop is next door + casual dress code is okay CONS I feel like the dining area could use a makeover. Also, the last visit to the women's restroom there was no soap in the dispenser (4/26/2023). I mentioned that several key campuses and sights were nearby. Here's my short list in alphabetical order: + CORE (Center of Recreational Excellence) + Hobbs Veterans Memorial + Lovington Highway Health Walk (concrete walking path parallel to Highway 18) + McAdams Park + New Mexico Junior College + University of the Southwest + Western Heritage Museum and Lea County Cowboy Hall of Fame + Zia Park Casino Hotel & Racetrack

RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 3 | Price: 4 PARKING They have their own private parking lot. Small lot for a small restaurant! LOCATION/AMBIANCE This Ma Brown's is on the south side of the tracks on Grimes Street. This is a very old-fashioned restaurant. No thrills or frills. A bit rundown, but they use gloves & spray/wipe down the tables well. THE GRUB On their day off (parent teacher conferences on 2/2/2023), my two daughters wanted some burgers for lunch. I wasn't given a receipt, so I'm not exactly sure how everything was charged, but our total take out came to $28. The green chile cheeseburger was great. I desired more green chile, but nothing new there being New Mexican. Lol. Their patties are flavored nicely. Not too greasy. Everything is made to order. You build your burger or the way you want. Their crinkle fries are really good actually - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I opted for onion rings, which were OK. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUBThey offer a kids burger meal. SERVICE Don't come here in a rush! Their service has always been super slow, but is always very friendly. The guy who took our order slipped a bag of Skittles in our takeout order. Random, but I think you noticed how patient my two young daughters were. It took about 40 minutes for our order to come out. MY FAVORITE PART... The green chile cheeseburger! NOT SO FAVORITE PART... The wait. TIPS + Call in orders ahead of time + Drive-through is available

At first I thought it was whipped cream as you can tell by the picture. As my appetizer I chose the jalapeño soup. I have to say that it was amazing even if it had no real substance to it other than cream of something and jalapeños. I think potatoes would be a nice addition to this soup. For dinner I chose the 8oz filet and I added blue cheese crumbles to the top slightly melted. The steak was cooked perfect and the flavor was nice. The veggies along with it were cooked well with minimal butter which I prefer. My waitress was perfect. She came around just enough and not to much. Nothing bothers me more than to come around so much that I can't enjoy my food. I'm a happy medium kind of guy when it comes to that and she did a great job balancing her other customers and I. Over all my experience was wonderful. I will definitely be dining her again before I leave town.
