    Food was alright, but the service was bad, loud, and lots of flies flying all over the place! I do not think we will be returning anytime soon. We were the only people there, and being a Friday was quite surprising. 3/5

    We had fried Green Chile Strips and the hamburger was amazing. Will definitely be eating here again.

    We travel in our camper all around the New mexico Arizona and Colorado area with our boy Ted. Ted is a poodle shitzu mutt and is currently 6 years old. While traveling with Ted we automatically know that we can't go to alot of places and we agree that he's worth the concessions. We do however always check for DOG FRIENDLY patio restaurants that we can enjoy a meal and or drink at. Usually, we strike out and eat in the truck! Any dog lovers empathize? Lincoln County grill surprised us with a small dog patio with 4 covered picnic tables and even had a bowl of water for the furry customers! We got to enjoy a cheeseburger meal with a beer while Ted relaxed under our table. Besides the dog patio, the fries stole the prize here. Crispy and delicious. If you're traveling with a fur kid , you can stop here for a bite and beer.

    They have a raised patio in the trees! Really good breakfast and a great atmosphere. Fantastic views of the downtown area in Ruidoso. Lots of choices on the menu for food.

    Food was impeccable. Service was great the waitress told us everything we needed to know. For the ambiance its a average small mountain town vibe, with some very interesting metal animals. 10/10 would recommend.

    Breakfast - French Toast with hash, eggs, and bacon

    Yummy yummy bite to eat! We ate here twice during lunch on our trip! We partially ate here because we did have a big husky with us and they offered patio sitting! It was honestly a plus! We were able to eat in the beautiful weather. As far as food goes, everything we tried was delicious. Aside from our pictures, we also tried the seafood platter and jack burger - both were fantastic! I highly recommend eating here!

Menu changes. I ordered a 1/2 dozen wings from appetizers, and finally I ordered a basket of fries. We don't have baskets of fries the menu has changed so you want 2 sides of fries? One side of fries and one side on onion rings. I placed my order over the phone ordering from their website that doesn't mention or show new menu. I ordered the food at 6:38 pm. I was told 10-15 minutes. I arrived and paid $41.38 plus tip at6:52 pm. And was told to sit and wait. I mentioned I'd stand which got me a lesson on bar space for waitresses, and not to block it, so I sat down. What attitude. At 7:15 I asked how much longer, and she said it's not done yet. I said I want my money refunded and I'll go somewhere else. She said she wasn't authorized to give refunds, she had to get manager. 7:22 she comes out rummages thru cash door, has to ask me what the name on the order was, then removes the receipt hands it to me and says it's been refunded. I asked for a receipt showing the $ was refunded she said no. Baby I know business was pretty rough over the holiday weekend. I know you aren't the cook, but realize this. I'm al local. I live less than a mile from your bar. We're all trying to make ends meet. Don't give me your attitude cause I live here and i liked yor food. I'll skip your food and hospitality! And my refund better show up or i'm filing charges. I can't believe what a crappy this experience was!

The 5 of us all got something different and not a single bad thing to say about the food, facility or staff. What a great spot to get a meal and cold drink! This is going to become my new go to when I am in town! To be honest I was shocked the food was so good and VERY reasonably priced!! The price of the burger (comes with regular fries) isn't much more than a fast food burger! Give Hall of Flame your business. I promise you won't be disappointed. Even if there is a line, stand in it. It will move fast. They also have cold beer on tap!! A true Ruidoso gem!! Delicious!!

About a 2.5 hour drive from El Paso, my boyfriend's extended family decided that they wanted burgers for lunch. With only a couple of options, we stumbled into the Hall of Flame Burgers. Service is fast and efficient and the place has several tables. You order your food and someone brings your food to you. Except everyone scrambles to occupy tables so you need to get in where you fit in. Not only is the place chaotic, the bathrooms downstairs don't lock and I was the first in the family to realize after two people walked in on me in the two times I locked the door. So go with a friend and have them watch the door to save yourself the embarrassment. The food is okay and nothing to write home about. My partner and I tried the green chili cheese fries and the chicken tacos. The green chili cheese fries are a disappointing mass of fries with the cheese pooled at the bottom of the tray. The hatch chilis are soggy and an unremarkable addition to the fries. The tacos were the most American tacos I've ever had dressed with chicken lettuce and tomato. There was nothing Mexican about these tacos but at least the chicken was tender. The chips and salsa that came with the tacos were the best part of the meal. Even my family, who got the burgers, were unimpressed. I'm not expecting a gourmet meal in the middle of New Mexico, but you would think the food would match the great reviews for this place. For what it is, get your meal and get full for the drive ahead because there's probably no food outside of Ruidoso for miles.

It's a beautiful place with a nice dining room and bar area. The menu has just enough to choose from that anyone should be able to pick something they would like. Nothing is too fussy and the prices are decent for a steakhouse in a small mountain town that depends a lot on tourism. I have been there for lunch, for dinner, by myself and with friends - probably over a dozen times over several years. Not once have I walked away feeling like I had a great experience. The service is usually decent but the servers always seem way more interested in chatting with each other or hanging out with other employees. On more than one occasion I've heard them complain about other customers or getting another table as more customers come in the door. The food is generally okay but nothing special. It's not a complicated menu but you can order the same thing more than once and who knows how it will show up to the table. Over or under cooked, way over seasoned or missing ingredients listed on the menu - this has happened to me several times. Walking into the restaurant you are rarely greeted by someone right away. It takes a while for anyone to notice you and then if someone does it's usually a busy server or someone who doesn't look like they work there. Today I was greeted by someone who was dressed like they were cleaning out their garage. Several times I've been seated at the only clean table in the room. By the time I've left, the tables have all been dirty and no one has touched them during my entire meal. A table was only cleaned if it was needed for someone else coming in. It's a really bad impression. Something needs to be done to isolate the kitchen from the front of the house. You can hear the kitchen staff yelling, cursing and playing loud heavy metal music throughout the dining room and bar. During meals I have learned a lot about the personal lives of the staff and not because I wanted to. All of these things are fixable. I keep going back because I'll hear that there is a new manager or a new chef but it seems like nothing ever really changes and it's a shame.
