When you first pull up the drive in window on the backside is not clearly marked and appears closed. Instead you have to park, get out off your car and walk to the street facing walk up window. There is awnings or anything to provide shade and once you have made your order there are no benches or seating to wait for your food. It is the middle of summer here and standing outside waiting for the food to be called with no cover was an ordeal. The ladies taking our order were some of the rudest people I have interacted with here in New Mexico making every interaction seem like a major inconvenience including ordering. Once the food came the milk shakes were so thick they were basically just soft serve in a cup which would be fine except they don't have milk shake straws! The straws they do have are so thin that is is difficult to even soda through them and they don't even provide straws with their milk shakes, they give you spoons and they seemed out surprised and put out when I requested a straw. Like I said, the food once you get it is good but depending on the temperature outside and the complexity of your order this may not be a place worth the wait.

He ordered the baby back ribs and I had the chopped steak. The food came out hot and correct. The ribs were delicious and tender. The meat fell off the bones. The bbq sauce was excellent. He also had mashed potatoes and lemon garlic asparagus. We asked the server to make the asparagus soft and they did it very well!! They were delicious! Very tasty and just right. I had the chopped steak with sweet potato. The mushroom gravy was very thick almost pasty but tasted great. The sweet potato came with cinnamon sugar butter. It was perfect. I also had the salad bar and it was very well stocked. We ended with the chocolate mousse cake. The cake was VERY chocolatey, rich and delicious. Bathrooms were clean too. It doesn't look like much outside but it's worth the trip.

The sauce does not taste like teriyaki it tasted more like honey I'm not saying its good or bad but might wanna take a different approach when it comes to your sauce. As for service, it could be improved Working environment looks friendly but when I'm walking in and I stand there for 5 min. With no one to assist me (keep in mind there were people in the back that saw me) I'm just gonna look lost but eventually someone helped. Overall I would say the rating is fair. The atmosphere is great just need to improve on small things. Hope to come again but with a different opinion.

This was maybe the third time I've eaten at the Rails, and none of them have been "Fine Dining"…read moreexperiences (contrary to what they might label themselves as on Google). The Rails is Fine Dining if you've never been past the Curry County line. I ordered the "Fettuccine Michaelangelo with Ribeye Bolognese;" my wife ordered the Blackened Salmon. I put my dish in quotes because, while the name might inspire a sense of grandeur, what the "Fettucine Michaelangelo" actually constitutes is about 3/4 of a pound of Barilla pasta (prepared fresh in-house, out of the box) and maybe 2 ounces of regular ground beef with a few decorative varnishes. Really, it was just beef stroganoff, and not even very good beef stroganoff (certainly not $30). I've had better in the DFAC at Camp Lemonnier. My wife's salmon was fine, nothing to write home about. The doctored up mashed potatoes were a little bland and definitely didn't taste prepared in-house. To sum up the totality of my experiences of the food there...I don't think they make 80% of their menu in-house, which is pretty damning for a restaurant that has the entirety of Clovis convinced its an upscale experience. Most of their menu tastes like it came on a truck from a shipping facility in Albuquerque that isn't even on par with what Darden restaurants order in bulk. That being said, the food isn't completely terrible and inedible. It's just absolutely not worth what they're charging for it, and it's either dishonest or ignorant to pretend it's fancier than it actually is. It's a 3 star hotel restaurant wearing a 4.5 star veneer. It's lipstick on a pig. It's the Key and Peele skit where Jordan Peele wears a tuxedo to enjoy the hotel's Continental Breakfast, and treats it like a special occasion. Food aside, the service is pretty average to below average. Other reviews highlight the service, so maybe my experiences have been one-offs, but given the trend of restaurant service in Clovis, in general, I'm reticent to discount them. Our waitress was nice enough, but she was unable to answer even basic questions (like which salad dressing she recommended). She did let us know the dressings aren't made in-house (another tell). I've worked as a prep cook in a local restaurant that branded itself on par with Chilis and Applebees, and I had to make their (wider selection of) dressings from actual ingredients every day. Most of the servers *might* be qualified to be front of house at a Cracker Barrel in any other city not isolated from the rest of civilization by 100 miles, but "upscale" waitstaff they are not. So is the story of most restaurants here. It is what it is. Overall, pretty mid experience. The atmosphere and concept are nice, but they're nothing more than a nice coat of paint that only serves to convince those who have never actually been to an upscale restaurant. Expect to spend a minimum of $100-$150 for boxed pasta, Choice steak, and Sysco™ Thousand Island from a frozen plastic bag. Save that money for gas and go somewhere nicer in Lubbock. They have trains there, too.
