The food here was super amazing and considering how busy they are and how everybody around the state is short staffed I am happy to say that Jaden was amazing and took real good care of me and from the looks of things the entire staff was working hard making everybody around happy with the service. I highly recommend this place if you are in Ruidoso. 10s across the bored read more

The food was great, our waiter was very good. Unfortunately the management was horrible. Lack of cooks and a general disarray. We and many other waited over an hour for our meal. read more

This is one of our go-to places here in town. We really enjoy this place! Food has usually been awesome. However today one of the dishes were cold (possibly due to waiting on my chicken) but they were extremely busy due to being one of the few restaurants open at this time. Jenna is an awesome waitres! great personality, and very friendly....we will still continue to eat here because the food is awesome, and the service is wonderful!!! the few people that chose to work deserve to be tipped generously!!! read more

Great service from Jenna! Food was very good and the salad bar is huge! Give it a go you won't be disappointed! Ask for Jenna!

How do you mess up corn you can't but this place did. My corn was ice cold and so peppery I couldn't eat it. The potato salad was gag worthy. read more

They were very busy the night that we visited, but you couldn't tell. The service and the food were amazing. My family really enjoyed our experience. read more

Ordered take out during the COVID-19 quarantine. They were quick with our order and brought it to the car, took payment over the phone to make it easy. Great food. Steaks were cooked right and the sides were comfort food delicious-ness. Green beans and fried okra were perfect. Rolls were fluffy and came with regular and cinnamon butter. Food was great, staff was polite and friendly and treated us like family... one staff member got a little political but overall it was a great experience. read more

Not impressed to be honest! Very average. Service was adequate. Waitress was nice and cordial. I didn't get the whole mask requirement when you didn't wear them properly. The lady at the door wearing gloves wore the same pair for the hour we were there... how is that sanitary?! Doubtful I'll return. read more

Best in Town. Really. Tons of People but very profesional organize to receive and seat. Quality Food, Salad , Meals and very Human Service, you feel in house. Prices very affordable. Highly Recomended. read more

Excellent service, Jenna is the best. She has a great personality and a smile that will melt your heart. Even though they were exceptionally busy, she made our visit special. And the food was great as usual. This is a must stop always. read more

This restaurant served us well this afternoon, especially after the 4th of July Parade. Thank you to Brenda (our server) & Eric (assistant manager) - both made our meal experience worth the time invested. We will be back, as long as they are apart of this hard working team. read more

I love coming to K-Bob's. Every time I come to visit I always have to come here. Their patio is so beautiful, being able to look at all the trees and it being higher up. The service is always friendly, they make you feel like you are a regular. I love the chicken fried steak with a side of chili strips. The catfish is always good too, never greasy and they give you a LARGE portion. Don't miss the salad bar either, there is always something new on there. read more

Awesome food and service! Gotta try the chicken fried steak. If you're in a rush, their takeout is also very convenient even on busy nights, just order on line. read more

Great service! Great food! Ate on the patio because it was so nice outside, and we were not disappointed!Thoroughly enjoy K-Bob's every time we visit Ruidoso! read more

Gooood Lord! My only regret is that I can't eat more. Salad bar is awesome! Double cut pork chop ... ? Yum! Chicken fried steak, too. Tried them all. Topped with bread pudding taking the rest of that home. read more

Always a dependable great meal, no matter what you're in the mood for! Our sirloin steak was awesome!

Good food, nice salad bar, very long wait time if you're a party of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids), they also went ahead and charged the gratuity even though there was only 2 tickets. Sucks for them cause I would have left a better tip. I would recommend this place to anyone who isn't that hungry and that is willing to let their waiter/waitress decide on gratuity. read more

Waiting 4 minutes to be seated. We never received complementary bread. Order wings and a quesadilla and never received the quesadilla. Was refilled water in my glass of Sprite. Food was ok. It was ok. OK with issues. read more

Had two great meals here while we were in town. Rolls are delicious and reminiscent of Texas Roadhouse, the salad wagon is fresh and delicious, and food was hot and delicious. Absolutely no complaints! read more

Order took forever, table next to us complained about quality of steak which left me worried about mine. Quality of my steak was just as expected. Looks like they get them from the dollar store and just heat up. read more

I am shocked at the low ratings. My family and I are from San Antonio, Texas, driving to Ruidoso, New Mexico. We stopped off here for some lunch and we were so glad we did! Service was great! (Women with the tattoos) Very attentive, happy to help, a older gentleman even wished us a safe trip as we walked out the door. The food was good. Everyone was happy with their sections. Only thing I could say is the burgers needed to be seasoned a bit more but was happy that they cooked my burger perfectly medium rare. Salad bar was great! Atmosphere was also great! We will be back as well as recommend the place. read more

Ordered the campfire sirloin, medium, campfire sirloin, well done, and the New York strip street tacos. The street tacos came out looking like dog food. The medium sirloin was rare. The well done was medium well. Told manger Eric Saenz, who did take care of the ticket after telling us that the rare steak was medium and we were wrong. Will NEVER go back to this location again. read more

The salad bar was really great, the waiter was amazing, but oh, the bathroom.... JUST WHAT is wrong in there? The bathroom experience really took away from my good experience with the restaurant read more

A very nice place with good service. Ordered a hamburger. Didn't ask how I wanted it because I'm guessing they are already made :( Hamburger and fries were cold. Very mediocre. read more

Hit or miss here. We've had terrible and stellar food. Same orders. Not the same experiences. I now tend to eat off of the senior menu and eat the salad bar and chopped steak. I've had the strip when it's awesome and had it when it's skinny and dried up. Not super consistent. Never had dessert or drinks here so can't comment. Honestly do enjoy the chopped steak. They charge about 1.50$ to put anything on your potato like sour cream bacon and cheese which is ridiculous. read more

Do not waste your money or time. Apparently they just re-upholstered the seats very poorly so they were uneven or your knees were hitting the table. i asked if there was a different booth and was given attitude.... When the food came you can taste the mediocrity in that you know everything was frozen an hour or so before... who knew a "rare" steak would be grey? The quesadilla was probably the only thing which didn't seem pre frozen hospital food status. The rolls.. yeah they were good thank god for that. this place is a mess and wouldn't waste a date night. read more

If you're looking for a place that screams love child of golden corral and outback, this is the place for you!!! Service was awful! The fried okra I could only describe as a hush puppy! The steak was unremarkable, thin and average at best! The rolls were good! So if you would like to spend too much money on decent rolls and brisket drenched in way too much bbq sauce, say no more, K-Bobs got you covered!!! read more

Absolute Worst Service I've ever had. Food was ok, not great. Price was a little high for the atmosphere. And to reiterate the service sucked! read more

Once I was finally seated on a night that wasn't too busy, I was given the wrong drink order. The person waiting my table was mostly nonexistent while I was there. When I got the food (chicken strips, who can mess up chicken strips?), I had to spit it out. I bit into a gristly, tough, gross piece of chicken. Luckily I was not required to pay for my meal. read more

Nothing nice to say...(overcooked, heat lamp food) with the WORST service ever. The place was Smokey from the kitchen, they had live music that was so loud you couldn't have a conversation, our waiter was actually the manager & he took our order and never came back. When we got the food, the veg was greasy and cold. When I mentioned it, they took it back and microwaved it, slammed it on the table & said "you good now"? Drinks weren't refilled and I had to track down the waiter/manager for the bill. After 7:30 pm, dining choices in Ruidoso are slim to none... but save yourself the trouble and eat a gas station sandwich.. you'd be better off. read more

Me and my wife walked in and was taken to a small room with only four tables my wife asked all by ourselves and the I asked if we could have a booth instead and we were still separated from the rest of the restaurant and the people eating there. We were out casted. Needless to say me and my wife left because we did not feel comfortable at all! I'm half black and Native American and my wife is Spanish and Italian. We were treated with disrespect! This is 2020 you need to treat people better! I have fought for this country and to be treated as such is a disrespect to my service to this country! read more

Food was mediocre at best and the menu is full of false advertising! Went on a Wednesday which the menu states is homestyle favorites are all 50% off. Come to find out that only a select item from the menu in the section is 50% although it doesn't state that anywhere on the menu which is false advertising. The manager even stated that the whole section used to be 50% off but they changed it (although it doesn't state that ANYWHERE) Just wanted to make other customers aware of what I would consider poor marketing. Definitely won't be coming back here ever and just want to make others passing through aware of this. read more

K-Bob chicken dishes are tender and juicy. They will give you plenty of hot breads with cinnamon spread while waiting for your food. The portion of the food is big too. I wish they have Tiramisu on their dessert menu like the K-Bob in Fort Stanton. read more

- read some reviews before we went and they weren't good but me and my husband decided to try it out and I'm glad we did.. the shrimp fajitas were soooo goood lol and the shrimp were jumbo size!! My husband ordered a medium steak and it was cooked to perfection and had great flavor!! Don't knock it til you try it. Waiter was also great!! read more

K-BOB's Steak House Ruidoso - Shrimp Fajitas - Steakhouses Near Me - Ruidoso, New Mexico

I go to Ruidoso about 4 times a year. I was having trouble finding good restaurants up there. I tried a couple of the bbq places that were horrible. A couple of the Mexican places were pretty mediocre too and the buffet at the casino is barely edible. I did eventually find Cafe Rio for some awesome pizza and Porkys for some good Mexican food. I was there back in November and the Mgr at the hotel recommended KBobs. I was pleasantly surprised. Very clean restaurant. Good, perfectly cooked steaks, reasonably priced and good service. I tried it again when I was there a couple of days ago and had the same great experience. read more

Good food, great service! K-Bobs has been around New Mexico for years. Great steaks, salad bar, etc. This location is no different. Staff is very friendly, quick food service, and tasty entrees. Only thing they need to work on is there bathrooms. Not very clean, and in serious need of a re-do. read more

$4 to get to get the salad bar WITH your steak order at a steak house??? That alone was enough to ruin the experience here. Won't be back. Every steak at our table was cooked about two stages too long. Unless you want a charcoal briquette order it rare. The best thing on the table was the pre-cooked "throw 'em in the fryer" chicken strips that my son ordered, that and the baked potatoes, they were good also. Only reason I gave it an extra star is because our waitress was very friendly and took good care of us. The K-Bob's here in Texas would be ashamed that this place has their name on it. read more

This was our first stop on our way in and the last dinner we had before leaving. Good, consistent, hot food, plenty of choices for the kids. On day one I had steak & hot wings and on the last day I had smothered chopped steak and hot wings. I order hit wings everywhere I go and was very excited to find a great order of hit wings in Ruidoso. I will mention that on Sunday afternoon they were out of lots of items, I'm guessing due to running out over the weekend. We will go back, I'm thinking about trying the catfish next time. read more

I had the 6 oz steak with fries, corn on the cob and a trip to the salad "wagon"! The steak was ok, not the best but not the worst I've ever had! The salad bar was the best, I just wish they had bigger plates so I could get more! The atmosphere was nice but a little old fashioned! Great rolls served with 2 kinds of butter: Cinnamon and regular! The price surprised us even with my steak our bill was 26 before the tip! read more

Although a simple place, the food was good. I got chicken strips and they were fluffy and perfect. The loaded baked potato was good as well. Their salad wagon (bar) was average too, but the plus side is they have real bacon! We got the chips and salsa too. The chips were perfect, seemed to melt in your mouth. However the salsa was lacking big time. Was soupy and didn't even taste like salsa. You can get better salsa from the grocery store. My friend got the salmon and I had some, it was great. K-bobs is a great place to eat if you want something simple that will still taste good. They are very accommodating if you are allergic to certain things too! read more
