Everything nice tables plenty of room good prices good food atmosphere. Great place to hang out and enjoy yourself.

What a burger! Lotaburger, Whataburger, or Luguna Burger doesn't hold a candle to this tasty burger. I would have given them 5 stars except for the slow service. My wife said they don't cheat you on the liquor either. read more

This place had the best green chili cheeseburger I have ever eaten. The service was also really good. They had these little free tablets you could use to play trivia, which was a lot of fun. I did not count how many pool tables they had, but apparently this is the place in town to come play pool. Also, dogs were allowed inside. Fun place and I would definitely come back. read more

Horrible service! The bartender was turning away paying customers because she wasn't getting tipped. She had a horrible attitude, having inappropriate conversations in earshot for customer's to hear (talking about sexual things) I couldn't believe she turned away three paying customers while we were sitting at the bar "you can't order anything else, you're not tipping us" if she had a better attitude she would probably get tipped. She's rude, no professionalism, and dressed really trashy. The bouncer was really nice. Older gentleman, shorter. He was walking around cleaning and asking everyone at the bar if they were doing alright. Restrooms were filthy. Bar area was kept clean. read more

Victoria was super helpful. Called because a group of us were in town and needed to find a karaoke bar. They used to do it before Covid they don't do it now but she was helpful in helping identify a couple other places that my group might be able to go to. Thanks for the great community spirit. Sorry to miss out on the chance to eat the green chili cheeseburgers! read more

Best chicken wings ever and the tater totS with pork and chili are the absolute bomb!!

If you want good food, good craft beer selection and a fun atmosphere this is the place to hang out. Mind you it's a pool hall and bar. Don't expect fancy and quiet. Ha ha . We come here for the food (dinner), people watching and the local craft beer selection. Plus the service is top notch (friendly, fast and they looking out for you). I don't even play pool. read more

Great local bar! I might not have gone in but this place is our friends' favorite haunt for beer and trivia. It was stop 2 on our quest for the perfect chili cheeseburger. It turned out to be a winner. They have a nice selection of draft beer, great service, and an *excellent* cheeseburger! I tried the Spicy Southwest Burger and she had the Green Chili Bacon and Cheeseburger. Both were fantastic, good meat, nicely spiced peppers and potato buns which did not outshine the meat. I was also very pleased to see that they took the doneness of the meat very seriously. I asked for medium rare and she asked for medium and they did it perfectly! Note: This is a true billiards bar, with more than 10 pool tables and a dark bar. Slate street had the best chili cheese burger so far! read more

The place is clean, tables well lit and in GREAT shape. Could use an update on the house sticks. Bartender/staff very friendly, patient and helpful. Food is decent, fish and chips was hot and came in a reasonable time. Great spot for afternoon pool. read more

Meh. It's a dive billiards bar..... nothing much else to say. But I have to say more according to yelp, soooo..... Our first time at slate street was a couple weeks ago, despite living in the neighborhood for the last 7 years. I hear good things on local radio 96.3, so we finally decided to try it out. Good fried bar food, but overpriced IMO.... And the trio of signature egg rolls were gummy and all tasted the same. Bartender was nice, but definitely overwhelmed because she was serving the entire place. Cook was also overwhelmed, he was the only one in the kitchen and just couldn't keep up. All in all, if I just wanted to play some pool and have a beer or two, this place is great, I guess. read more

We decided we should play a little pool. You enter it's clean. Go to the bar to open a tab and get your table number and balls, $5.00/hour. The pool tables are clean, level, all there equipment is well maintained. No smoking inside which is a plus. Fun, relaxing and a good jukebox. We didn't eat, we had beer. Very good. read more

Had the worst service I ever had. Guess I pissed off the bartender. She made it very obvious she wasn't going to take my order. Checked on all her regulars and left me hanging. I put a ten under my half drunk beer and headed down to O'Hares which has the consist hood service all the time. I won't be back and can't recommend this place at all. read more

If you've never been to Rio Rancho, or just want a great atmosphere with great food and a nice selection, COME HERE. I only have one night in town, walked in and got immediate service at the bar... ordered a Whiskey & Ginger Ale which was waiting for me before I finished my sentence. Bartender was brand new, but you couldn't even tell.... very professional. For food I decided on the Green Chile Bacon Cheddar Burger which was mother lovin DELICIOUS. Locals really don't appreciate what they have in their own backyard!! Being from Washington DC, this was a treat to say the least. ... something so simple as a bacon cheeseburger.. Dessert time: I had some Kimo Sabe Mezcal... So awesome and smooth. Would DEFINITELY come back to try more of the menu, bring friends, and we can play pool too?! read more

Slate Street Billards - Green Chile Bacon Cheeseburger , fries, & Crown Royal Apple w/Ginger Ale!! - Pool Halls Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Cold beer, great bar food, clean, friendly service, not pricey. Great place to go hang out, shoot some pool and have some tasty wings.

If I could I would give this place a zero star. Not only did we wait long to be served a drink (mind you she was walking back and forth and helping people besides us), the bartender was totally ignoring us after trying to flag her down to try and get a menu. After repeatedly trying I tried to cash out with the other server and could not due to it only being the bartender and then she finally came and asked if we wanted to cash out. I wouldn't be writing a review if we hadn't tried to get her attention multiple times and her making eye contact but simply ignoring us. The service was TERRIBLE. Would not recommend. Will not be returning anytime soon. read more

Good prices for food and drinks. Staff could be more attentive on serving their customers. Need to replace some of there bar stools because they are cracked, torn, and dirty. Bathrooms are dirty and need to clean every hour. Pool tables are kept neat clean. read more

This place is absolutely horrible! The service is slow. The staff is rude. The food is terrible (and cold). When we first walked in, I thought it was going to be a great place. Boy was I wrong! While sitting at the bar drinking my WATER and waiting for my boyfriend to finish up, the clearly overly served lady was beginning to cause a scene. While the bartender asked us what the problem was, we simply explained the situation and told her we were fixing to leave. In the meantime, the drunk lady next to us continued screaming profanity and being obnoxiously rude while her friend continued staying "I'm sorry. She's had to much to drink. Ignore her. I'm so sorry!" Instead of cutting the girl off. The bartender calls for THREE unidentifiable "bouncers" to come over and kick my boyfriend and I out. Needless to say, of course we left. But as the bouncers attempted to "throw us out" one decided he should show his "power" while physically tugging on my boyfriend's shirt. Completely out of line and unprofessional. We will definitely NOT be back or rec to anyone. This was also after we paid and tipped! read more

Great neighborhood bar. We had a standout waitress for our large group. She remembered all of our orders and stayed positive all night. They just need a beer list to earn the fifth star. 30 beers on tap, but no list. Kinda funny really. read more

Decided to try their green Chile cheeseburger since it's a NM State Fair winner. Deeeeeelicious! Spicy and hot I loved it. Fries were great too. Busy but our server was on it! Busy place and pool tables fun to watch as well as all the sports games on every screen. We'll be back. read more

We stopped in on a Wednesday at noon for lunch on a whim. We were very surprised. The food was great, the service was great, it was clean and everyone was friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

I came here on a Sunday to watch some football. Nice place. I wish it was closer to my house, though. Lots of pool tables and plenty of room. The tables look nice and well-maintained. It's very clean and modern. For sports, it's set up fairly well. There are lots of TVs of different sizes all around the place. On game day, they turn different games on in different areas, which allows like-minded fans to gather together. Their beer selection was impressive, with several of my local favorites, though the waitress wasn't fully versed on some of the beers their carried. My wife had a bloody mary and said it was very good. The food is not bad. About what you would expect, although their fries were excellent. I had the New Mexico turkey sandwich (I think every place in town has their own version of this). The chiles were HOT, but oh so tasty. Nice job. Service was painfully slow (40 minutes for a basket of fries? Really?), but picked up when they finally got another cook in the kitchen, apparently. The Minnesota Viking Fan Club meets here, so I will be back for sure. Maybe not every week, but often. read more

Best burger we have had in a long time. Waitress was super attentive.. the environment was also nice.

I've been to a lot of bars here, but this one is my least favorite. If you want a lot of pool tables, then you'll be happy. Don't get the food, it's disgusting. The Philly Cheesesteak sandwich is SUPER small, dry, and boring. I ordered the Slate Street fries and they were missing half the ingredients. My waitress brought me a beer I didn't even order, thankfully, they didn't charge me for it. Patron shots are $10 each, which is ludicrous! It's just ghetto. Go somewhere else, trust me. Check out the picture of these nasty ass fries!! Yuk! My tab was 60 bucks and it sucked. read more

We used to come quite often because of a friend that worked here - the service was always great, the food was good (for bar food) and we had a great time just hanging out. Now that said friend is not longer there the service seems slower, the food isn't as great and the overall experience is just a little blah. read more

Used to be a fun place to go, decent food lots of tables and tvs. This experience was not at all the best, waitress had very poor customer service, she couldn't even recommend anything on the menu, it's clear this place is going downhill which is sad because it has great potential but employee moral is clearly not there read more

Slate Street Billards - Delicious mudslide! - Pool Halls Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Playing in a pool tournament and have been here all day. The only music they seem to play is rock, no variety. Food marginal: nachos below average and the worst quesadilla ever. Below par for bar food. The only thing positive has been the wait staff. Will not return. read more

I have been coming here for years. It is a great place to grab a drink and some classic pub food. The have a lot of pool tables. It is a great place to meet with your coworkers for a happy hour. Here's the real gem. Are you ready? Best chicken wings anywhere period. Huge pieces, crispy fried and tasty sauces. Reasonable prices too. Try the wings "Honey hot double dunk" with a side of sauce to dip in. You're welcome and I told you so! read more

This place is great! 45$ for two meals and 5 beers! Allot of pool tables good seating just an all around good place! Defiantly coming back read more

Slate Street Billards - Chili fries - Pool Halls Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

I dont get to explore my own neighborhood too often but I cant help coming here at least 1x a week. Their bloody marys are to die for (if you ever read any of my other posts, you know I am a DIEHARD fan of Mary), and I always stumble upon this place like a lost puppy when it comes to their chili cheese fries and Fried Mushrooms (not necessarily in that order). They have a very huge music selection and many different genres. In just a few songs you can hear Ice Cube, Metallica, One Directions and Garth Brooks lol. Lets see what else. oh, speaking of huge... let me not forget to mention the HUGE selection of pool tables and somewhere in the back they have darts (Alcohol + darts = a recipe for a comical time) read more

Slate Street Billards - Yummy bloody marys #breakfast vodka - Pool Halls Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

I do not recommend this place to anyone. There are girls there with hardly any clothing on. Skimpy shirts everything showing. Disgusting!!!! Yet a guy comes in with a tank top and they don't allow him in. Maybe if he would have shown half of his chest they would have allowed him in. Discrimination!!!!!! read more

I have heard good things about this place; however, upon arriving I was immediately turned away due to a rule that said men cannot wear tank tops. I can understand having rules to prevent certain activities, but not being able to wear a tank top on a hot day is ridiculous and ended my opportunity to provide a fair and accurate review. read more

We split the 1/2 hamburger, just to try and diet. It was great, could have eaten it all. Fries were good. Tried two of the Marble Brewery Ales. Good selection on tap. About 15 pool tables, darts, TV' outdoor patio. Waitress was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. It was a good place for us to relax close to home. We will go back. read more

The good: The service is excellent. One server in particular, Erin, has remembered my name every time I've come in. The food is decent--basic bar food. The smoking patio is nice. There are tons and tons of pool tables and lots of places to sit. TVs with sports are everywhere if that's your thing. They have some local beers on tap plus a full bar. The bad: It gets packed when there are fights or other high-demand sporting events. It also just gets packed on weekends. Sometimes (rarely) you might have to wait for a pool table. That's only if it's crazy. The location is less than ideal, but not if you live on the west side. Overall: A nice spot to hang out if you're on the west side and want to watch some sports. Or play pool. Or just drink on a pretty good-sized patio. Be prepared for crowds on certain nights and, if there's a fight, be prepared for a cover. PS: I have never been here for karaoke, which is a shame, because I love karaoke, so I'm not sure what it's like. read more

The owner is awesome! Big screens to watch the games! Need more waitresses but if it keeps the prices reasonable.. I can order myself. Love this place ! read more

Great place, awesome staff! Love this place. The new owners Todd and Steve are amazing!! Food is wonderful and nothing is overly priced!! Even when it's chaotic for fight night, still great service and company. read more

I guess if you are not picky about what you really want to drink, this place is ok. I am a brandy drinker and have been there and had one or two drinks and had them suddenly tell me my drink price had more than doubled because they "ran out" of brandy. After being told that they would "make it right" once they actually ordered some.... Not so much. Not only got screwed on the bill but was told that they had not told me that.... What a bunch of assholes read more

My husband was having a tooth pulled next door and I had a rough day at work so I swooped I here for a beer while I waited for him. I am a beer lover so i cruised the tap handles toward the kitchen and felt uncomfortable as the bitch bartender just studied me and and didnt greet me. I said hi, but nothing. For the record I am a veteran server/bartender. I walked back toward the front to look at the tap handles closer to the front door. When I decided on the Double Whote, I turned to see if she was close so i could order, lol...she was glaring g at key back at the other tap handles. I asked for a Double White. Idk...lol...what a bitch. read more

This bar was decent at best. The one thing that I can say is that their drink prices are pretty good. My biggest turn off with this place is that the service was really crappy. The bar was not that busy at all and we had a table. Waited there for about 20 minutes and got no service, so we went up to the bar and ordered our drinks. After we sat down at our table, the waitress decided to come by. We didn't get service again after. Place was dirty and featured all the typical characteristics of a good ol watering hole. To sum it up, this is a good hole in the wall place if you would like to drink a few. read more

Sunday ticket and lots of Steeler fans. Awesome! Ask for Colina.....she is the best waitress, even though she wears a Packers jersey
