    Eggs Benedict with salmon and potatoes
    Janay W.

    Had an amazing brunch at Rio Grande Social! The salmon eggs Benedict was absolutely delicious -- perfectly cooked eggs, flavorful salmon, and a great balance of flavors. The breakfast potatoes were crispy and seasoned really well, and the mimosa was the perfect brunch addition. Great atmosphere, excellent food, and friendly service. Definitely a 5-star experience and I'll be coming back!

    Buffalo Wings
    Corinna P.

    Wanting to have a quick and wonderful lunch with hubby since we hadn't been back to Rio Grande Social since our Anniversary Dinner last year. Greeted and seated immediately while entering. Place looked bright, opened and comfortable. Our server arrived within minutes and took our order. Hubby had the Fish & Chips and I have to say that it was pretty darn good. After being dissatisfied with the last 3-4 fish & chip entrees at other establishments - I honestly wasn't expecting this entree to be good but to my surprise it was so delightful. It was crispy on the outside but tender on the inside as it should be. The breading was delicious and not soggy and it stayed on the fish which gave it - it's wonderful crunch. The tartar sauce and purple cabbage slaw that came with it complimented it perfectly. The only small negative was that the coleslaw was completely purple and my husband who has worked in many kitchens said that that was due to not washing properly. I opted for just the appetizer buffalo wings and a side of French Fries. The wings were very delicious and cooked perfectly. I'm not a big potato person but these French Fries were absolutely scrumptious. I love their mouthfeel and how crunchy and airy they were. They paired perfectly with my ranch. Overall we enjoyed our lunch - our server was great - the food was delicious and we would definitely return. I will say that I felt it was a little expensive at almost $50 for an entree, an appetizer, side of fries that were super tiny and 2 fountain drinks but I understand that the cost of food has become so inflated

    Rio grande social is always a delight to visit! We've been here several times, but the food is always so delicious, that I forget to take pictures first. Well today I remembered.... The food is always fresh and made to order. Food is quality and yummy. The service is phenomenal. Waitresses and waiters are always so friendly and even the shift manager makes frequents rounds in the restaurant to make sure everyone is happy and has what they need! The restaurant itself is wide open and filled with light... but not in an imposing way... just very welcoming and bright. If you have not been here before, check it out for yourself. You'll be back again!

    Garlic Knots

    I've been coming here since they opened and I think their food and drinks really hold up! Most recently we stopped by for happy hour and they had some great pricing and options. I really loved their garlic knots- they are decadent, fried and oh so garlicky! Their nachos were LOADED with meat and cheese- it was quite the hefty serving. I really like the view of the mountains here, their parking lot can be a pain if it's busy but you do have access to the main shopping center lot which is a close walk to the restaurant. I def recommend trying it out if you haven't stopped in yet!

    We have driven past this place a few times and kept saying---we need to see what it is all about. ...This past Sunday we thought we would drop in and catch the last Yankee game of the season before wild card playoffs. The bar was not packed but busy. We sat at the bar and asked the staff if it would be possible to change one of the channels. They came back saying this was not possible. We had already ordered a drink and decided to put the game on the phone. The place is very open and plenty of seating. Lots of different groups and individuals. From families to friends. Bathrooms were very clean and accessible. Kitchen was open by design so you could see the happenings. We ordered the pretzel bites appetizer to snack on. They came out in a cast iron mini kettle and tray. Delicious! Just the right amount of cheese combined with the salty goodness of the pretzel bites. The rest of the menu looked just as good as our appetizer. We will be back but this time will wait for the baseball season to be over.

    Nachos

    Came for a dinner anticipating something really good with how long the lines have been for the weekends. We came in on a Thursday and the service was ok for how dead the place was. The bar was pretty slow with drinks but our waitress was really good (she gets the stars for the review) Got the nachos which were alright the unmelted cheese combined with melted cheese was not an appealing look. And the pizza was just ok nothing special. Not sure what the hype was all about maybe if I come back I'll order something else and hope for better results.

    Hangover burger

    Okay, so I've been here twice now. What got me in was the breakfast special (free breakfast for the first 50 people each weekend in April). My dad got the smothered breakfast burrito last time with both bacon and sausage. I've tried the hangover burger and the red velvet pancakes. Both were tasty, with more than enough for leftovers to take home. Food came out quickly and staff was friendly. I can't wait to come back to try the pineapple whip for dinnertime 2025 #31

    This place had been on my radar for a hot minute and glad I finally got the chance to check them out. This is a great spot for group dining and it just feels very large. We came after getting pedicures nearby, at kind of a weird time on a Sunday but the food and drinks were great. We got the pretzel bites, al pastor nachos, ceviche, and calamari. Everything was really good. I got a peach ring to drink which wasn't my favorite but it was only $5. My friend got one of the spring specials and it was really good. Overall everything was great, I'd totally come back.

    I have eaten here on a few occasions... I recommend going at off hours because parking is tough, spaces are cramped and you end up walking quite a distance when they are busy. The first time I went was for brunch. I had the eggs Benedict and was very happy...nice presentation, hot and tasty. Second time I went in between lunch and dinner...I thoroughly enjoyed the roasted tomato and herb salmon. Delicious! Yesterday, I again went before dinner rush. I ordered the Cajun pasta with chicken...awesome! Lots of flavor, a slight crispy crust to the chicken, fantastic! The service has always been great! Fast, friendly and on point for sure. It is very open, bright, clean with sports on numerous TV's. Love the food, love the atmosphere but truly hate the parking setup...

    A great social spot for a drink and a meal. The good stuff... the restaurant is nice, clean and spacious with nice details and variety of seating options. The bar is very pretty with good options, often a drink special(s) available. The menu is small but the food quality is good, and not just for a "bar". The pretzel fondue, salmon fish n' chips, street tacos, hangover burger and pineapple whip are our favorites. Not to mention, the service is always very friendly. The other stuff... parking can be tough so you may need to park across the way. If you can, choose a soft seating area. Also, temperature runs a little cool. We've only experienced dinner but hear the breakfast is very good too.

    The open seating space is welcoming and I love the big windows with the perfect view of the Sandia Mountains. I think the location is great just next to cottonwood mall. The servers are all nice and on top of making sure everyone is happy. The food was delicious and the drinks are fantastic I think the prices are reasonable especially with the size of the servings.

    The service was fast and friendly! Everything came out fast, drinks were amazing. The Kim chi fried has a kick to it. The crab Benedict was very tasty. Parking sucks but worth the food. Inside was very nice and lots of lighting. Very comfortable for gatherings

    Service has been great the 3 times Ive been and food is delicious. The drinks are good. Love the ambiance and how clean the restaurant is.
