In April 2026, we were in Raton. Restaurant was busy. We were seated quickly. We waited at least 10 minutes and were never acknowledged at all by a waitress. We got up and left and as we were walking to the door I told the man at the front that we were never served and he seemed not to care. We went to another restaurant in town and it was a nice meal. read more

Great steaks! The waitress was very attentive to our group. Salad was cold a presented well and served quickly. I ordered the 12oz Trailboss cooked medium. This steak was much larger than 12oz!!! Thick, cooked perfect and a great char grilled flavor with the perfect grill marks to boot! The fries were hot and crisp to the end. I'm no small guy and it was close trying finish it all. The thick cut toast was great as well! I would go back. Great old school western vibe. Don't listen to the negative Nancy's. I wish I would had room for desert. Next time I visit the Raton area I will stop by again. read more

It took almost an hour to get a simple order. One steak and a hamburger. The mgr finally came around after we complained about how long it took. He went to check. I overheard him tell the waitress to explain what happened. She brought our food shortly afterwards. The steak was over cooked and tough. I suspect it was reheated in the microwave. read more

The salad wagon was so delicious! My friends got steaks and steak burgers but the salad wagon was plenty for me. read more

According to google, this place is supposed to close at 9pm. We arrive at 8:15pm and we go inside, stand around for a few minutes while the hostess completely ignores us and then someone from a back room says "we're already closed". Not a great impression read more

This is a great family style restaurant. It is clean and decorated for the holidays. We had fried catfish (excellent) and a patty melt done the right way with crisp onion rings. Service was excellent, we loved it. Don't miss it. read more

Steak tasted fake and looked like a McDonald McRib. Salad is the only good thing. Service was great. The mood was nice and fun but the steak was awful. read more

Service was very good, abuzz with locals. Overpriced for what you get. My burger and baked potato were luke warm at best. It was not very busy so my food should have been fresh. I recommend going some place else I you can! The salad bar was okay, veggies cold and about average. Wish the food had been better after a long day on the road! read more

Steak was very good! Clean and service was great. Almost did not go because of the low score but I am glad we did! read more

Business must be doing well and didn't need anymore. One table with customers, 5 employees, 1 talking to another one and complaining about something. I got seated and waiting for someone to take my order... and waited. Didn't happen. I got up and left as they just watched me leave. read more

K-Bob's is a favorite in Raton. The food and service is always great. I recommend you give K-Bob's a try.

Had the pleasure of eating some downright delicious food at K-Bob's. I was told how good it was by quite a few people and it did not disappoint. The building is a bit dated on the inside and could use a facelift but honestly why mess with something that is working so well. The customer service was great , our waitress had our food out quick and the drinks never went dry. So let's get on to the food. OUR FAMOUS CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK. 9/10 Hand-Breaded in Our Signature Batter and Topped with K-BOB'S Country Gravy. Served with one sidekick. The chicken fried steak was downright yummy. The breading has a ton of flavor and the steak was tender. The gravy was good but not really needed because of the flavor of the steak. Had mash potatoes and gravy as the sidekick. They are homemade and only needed a bit of seasoning to make them pop. Really good chicken fried steak. K-BOB'S BURGER. 9/10 USDA Choice Beef Garnished with Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Onions, and Pickles. Cooked to your preference. I myself love rare to medium rare burgers, but usually they are always over cooked, not this time. A perfectly cooked rare burger is what I got. Added 2 slices of cheese because I love cheeseburgers. Topped it off with all the fixings and condiments and it was beyond perfect. Had the fries for a he side. Just fries, nothing more, nothing less. BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN TENDERS 9/10 Original or Buffalo-Style with Gravy or Ranch Dressing. Ordered these original style with gravy and what a dish. I know they are just chicken tenders but they were cooked perfectly and the breading was crispy and seasoned to perfection. Had the fries for my side, just your ordinary fries. HOUSE SALAD. 9/10 Lettuce, tomato, cucumber and cheese served with your choice of dressing. It is a basic salad like most house salads. It was really good because of the veggies freshness. Had it with ranch dressing. The front of the house was stellar and the boys on the grill put out some awesome food. These guys are what all restaurants need on the line. 10 out of 10 for K-Bob's. It will be my go to a time I am close to Raton. Definitely a place to stop into and get some great food. They do have other locations but I can't vouch for them. read more

Brought my 94 year old Dad (picky eater) he had the Chile Relleno smothered and red chili sauce. He absolutely loved them. Paige, our server, was awesome, very attentive. I will also add that when we go to K-Bob's the staff is friendly and on point even when busy. read more

Waitress snapped at me. Rude employees. Salmon dry, chicken dry, both tough and overcooked. Bland. Asked for Tatar sauce. After being snapped at "what?" When I asked she gave me ranch. Everything overpriced. I felt like I was treated badly because I wasn't a local. Just a bad experience. It is in Raton off I-25 and many travelers will go there- don't- go to the Dennys. I think they needed to be friendlier, professional and have better food. Zero is my rating, but need to give a 1 to submit. read more

We walked into K-Bobs and the staff was not friendly. We placed a simple order which was either not placed by our waitress or was lost by the kitchen. Our waitress came to give us to hand us our bill and we had yet to receive our food. She had an attitude when we said we hadn't been served yet and went to the kitchen and was visibly annoyed and talking about us to the cook. He put our order on and the food was bland because he did not take the time to prepare it correctly because of their mistake. We went to pay for our bill and the cashier could care less about our experience by replying "Oh sorry bout that" with disinterest. It is no wonder that the K-Bobs are disappearing. read more

My husband and I are spending the night in Rotan, we were driving around trying to find a place to eat and came upon this restaurant. We happened to get in on the BOGO free special so we both got the chicken fried steak and gravy with 2 sides. We were pleased with our meal, we're from Texas and we're pretty picky about our chicken fried steaks but these were pretty darn good!!! I rated this a 4 out of 5 because the fried okra wasn't hot. read more

Do not waste your money! $60 for boxed mac and cheese with discount store pecan pie that only had 2 pecan halves in each piece. Other restaurants in Raton are cheaper with twice the flavor! Go elsewhere... read more

For being a Steakhouse, they don't know how to cook a steak . Someone needs to teach them how to cook Prime Rib. I asked for Medium Rare and they said they only cook it well done . What's that all about? read more

Food...it was not the KBobs I remember in Decatur, TX so unfortunately, disappointing. I had a hamburger steak with brown gravy and onions. The patty was burnt. The chips and salsa were ok. Husband said onion rings were great. Service...the young lady that took my order was friendly enough. Ambiance was what I expected from what I remember of KBobs. read more

Bottom Line: Okay to good food. Friendly staff. Prices maybe a touch high for the area & possible miss on the food. Rustic & dated decor. Top Line: Grabbed burgers at K-Bob's Steakhouse in Raton mid-trip to Denver. Food gets mixed reviews. Companion said their regular burger was very flat tasting & needed spicing up, even a bit of salt & pepper would have helped. Definitely wouldn't reorder that burger again, if stop here at all. One star rating for that meal per diner. I liked my green chile cheeseburger & sweet potato fries meal. Chile was spicy & flavorful. Cheese was gooey and drippy. Burger patty was large (1/3-1/2 lb I'd guess) & well grilled. Bun was toasted on the flat-top & had some buttery taste to it. A fine bit of breadage. Sweet potato fries were hot & quasi-crisp, so not from under a heat lamp. Solid 4 stars for my meal. Staff was friendly & engaging. Decor is a bit dark & rough, being Western Rustic that's been there a while. Special kudos for still having up in early January their giving tree for local animal organization. Prices seemed a couple bucks high for being this far removed from major population base. From interactions between staff & incoming diners it's obvious that there's a strong local cadre keeping K-Bob's going, which is kind of comforting in a way. My recommend is to grab the green chile cheeseburger here, this still being on the New Mexico side of the border and all. read more

We arrived before the dinner rush hour so we were hoping it was a good sign. We were greeted almost instantly and very warmly. That's where the good service ended. Our server was very busy visiting with another table deep in conversation. We sat for over 15 minutes while she chatted. Being that it's supposed to be a steak house I ordered a sirloin medium rare with onion rings. My husband ordered sausage and fries. The salad bar was beautifully stocked . The French fries were piping hot and well salted. Onion rings were good. My steak was a 3 inch by 3 inch hunk of meat that was lightly seasoned . It was really tough on the outside and a little warmer than room temperature. The server pulled herself away from her chosen table to ask how my steak was cooked and when I didn't respond quickly enough, caught a bit of an attitude (I didn't complain as I truly felt there would be absolutely no way to improve any of it and I was super leery of having them cook me another steak . The sausage looked like the cheapest kielbasa you can get at the grocery store. We were given our check very quickly. We went just down the street to the loaf and jug (a gas station/convenience store) and had a way better experience. read more

I walked in and sign read please wait to be seated, I waited patiently and a couple walked in after me hostess did see me walk in before them and instead of sitting me first, sat them down keep in mind the restaurant was not just a lot of tables open. I eventually sat down then I ordered chips and salsa which took 30 mins to come to my table, did notice other server walk out with chips and salsa and take it to another table, I ordered a steak medium, guess the cook was busy talking to the hostess and forgot my steak on the grill ended up with a well done steak dried out no bueno. My waitress kept apologizing for the long wait time on the chips and steak. Did notice the other waitress tell my waitress "did he order chips and salsa I gave it to the other table." Chips were well drenched in oil more like soggy chips. My waitress was outstanding for what she was able to do. Rest of employees no bueno! read more

The steaks here at K-Bob's in Raton, NM were horrible. They tasted like processed, fake beef. We were so disappointed. The service was fine. But, do not order the steak. My meal of steak and baked potato was a disappointment. I mean even the loaded baked potato tasted like it was a day old side. read more

Food good. Service is great. Western decor . Lots of parking. Dining area clean and quiet.

Food took almost 2 hrs. Cool was yelling very loud at waitresses and the. Could be heard spitting vulgarity. "Where are the fu salads". A family asked for to go boxes that never came. We are out of towners and it was based on our lack of service vs others. May be better if you are a local. For us an expensive disaster read more

I actually went in to have a steak, but I had the all you can eat salad bar, and the chicken fried steak. I asked the waitress if their chicken fried steak was frozen, and they hand batter their chicken fried steak. It was homestyle cooking, and everything was delicious. Everyone there was very friendly, and helpful. The waitress was absolutely amazing! I forgot her name, Rosanna, Roxanne, I think I'm close. The atmosphere was great, I was seated in a booth. I absolutely love their salad bar and the different homestyle selections. They charge $12 for their salad bar, and then you have to pay for your entrée. A little pricey, but I will go back! read more

I've been here a few times based on recommendations from locals. I assume the people recommending this place are friends or family of the owners? Service is hit-or-miss. Stand in line to get in, wait for table service, sometimes a long wait for food, then stand in line to get out again... The food is also hit-or-miss depending on what you order. Salad bar is awesome, burgers are awesome, and chicken fried steak is awesome. But the steaks are such low-quality meat that I recommend ordering absolutely anything else. read more

Tried the one in Raton, NM. Husband & son said their meatloaf was good. My sirloin steak, not so much. I'm not sure it wasn't the lab grown meat. My mashed potatoes were good tho. Waitress was nice but not overly friendly. Not sure I'd go back, TBH. read more

Ended up here on a road trip, hadn't seen K-Bobs since I was a kid. I had a horrible toothache and we had to work around that. They gave me tea and bread pudding without question. So kind. Friends had brisket, salad wagon, and chicken fried chicken. They said it was amazing and very good. Dad had ribeye, also said very good. All around lovely meal and great staff. read more
