The menu

The best pulled pork sandwich in all of New Mexico Two weeks ago, on the way to Taos, NM. My husband and I finally stopped by Sugars BBQ, located in Embudo, NM. This little burger joint is off the high way at CR-68 Rd Mile Marker 18, East Side of the Highway. Make sure you slow down; I almost passed it. Sugars has been around for 20 years, serving up some of the best burgers and bbq sandwiches. The staff was very friendly (shout out to Jesse and Josephine). My food order did not take very long. The weather was so beautiful that day. I walked my pup around the property. They also have around ten picnic tables outside for you to enjoy your food. I got a bbq pork sandwich. It was perfect from the sauce to all the extra meat falling out. I also ordered the curly fries ( you can never go wrong with curly fries). This meal was an absolute treat. A little messy, but so worth it. I highly recommend it. It is so worth the drive if you are not from the area. I will definitely be returning, and when I do, I'm going for the Sugar Daddy! Fun fact- Sugars is named after the owners, Pitbull. They have a picture of him right underneath the menu.

Well to start off one star is being generous. Customer service was HORRENDOUS. The manager, Heather complained about everything. The absolute worst customer service I have ever received. Heather cursed about me to colleagues in Spanish, as well as telling me that I shouldn't ask for salt and ketchup because we only got two items. We got a Sugar Burger and Nachos, when we got home the nachos barely had cheese and the meat was raw. When we went back and told them they only gave us a refund for the burger (the wrong amount) and said that "to learn math". Don't waste your time or money at this place of so called "business".

Best BBQ in the middle of nowhere.

Named after the owner's now deceased bull dog, Sugar's is a great BBQ joint. At first glance, you think it is nothing major, but this trailer off the side of the road pumps out some amazing food. The food is cooked to order and may take a bit (10-20 min depending on how many people are waiting in line). The location affords you an excellent view of the surrounding mountains. Orders are taken with a smile and service is good. You can eat sitting on a bench on the porch or any of the tables located conveniently located in the shde of the apple tree' I recommend the briskett green chile Burrito and the Sugar Burger. Make sure to visit Sugar's gravesite before you leave (located a few yards away from the main site).

Brisket burrito all day guys. Everything is good, but something special about the burrito. Also dinosaur nuggets that are shaped like dinosaurs. The large drink seems like it's over a liter.

Sugar's Burger - green chile cheeseburger, bacon, mushrooms, mayo, grilled onion, lettuce and tomato on a grilled bun.

Location, Location. WOW. The burgers were off the chain. A lot of bang for your buck. Two scoops of ice cream in your floats.

This place sucks! The service is horrible. Don't eat here. Apparently the cashier isn't capable of making a mistake. Such a waste of money!

Thanks again Yelpers for your reviews, they really help when you're from out of town…read more Great food and good prices. Burgers were the best we've had in a long time. Almost too big to finish, but we did, didn't want to waste a morsel. Will definitely be back the next time we're in town. Catch the pix we posted.

It's a very small but cute restaurant with a tv around the bar so if you want to watch football or…read moreany sporting event you can definitely see it here. The service was good but I feel like they can be more informative, especially to someone new in town. If you're not aware, the burgers do not come with fries. You must order them separately. One thing the server did not mention. All she asked was, fries or onion rings? Now, I do understand we could read the menu, which we did, but most hamburger joints come with a side of fries especially at these prices!!! You're paying between $13-18 a burger, it should come with a side of fries! Now what she also failed to tell us was the amount of French fries that come when you order them. It's a large basket that could be shared between 2-3 people. We ordered three fries plus 1 onion ring. We paid $16.50 for three fries and barely ate through one whole basket! The fries seemed fresh cut but seemed like they had this weird film on the outside. Not sure if it's their oil, or if they didn't fry it at a high enough temperature. What we ordered: - bison burger (medium) : it came out burnt to a crisp. The initial bite wasn't bad but eating it more felt like you had a mouth full of ash. While I can appreciate a good charbroiled or grilled hamburger, it was overly done. Not to mention it was over cooked. There was no seasoning on top of the burnt flavor. It wasn't really edible. - old timer w/cheese (medium): add an additional charge for cheese! This too came out burnt! My daughter could only eat a little as it was too charbroiled/grilled. It too was over cooked and no where near medium. - green chili burger (medium): I had high hopes of this burger as it came with cheese and their infamous New Mexico Green chili! While my patty was not burnt, it was over cooked and it had zero to no seasoning! It came with a green chili mayo which was really good but it still didn't help with the seasoning! The burgers here seem fresh and the beef seems a good quality, but I still believe it's overpriced for what you get! I also understand times are hard and our economy is struggling with prices, but then they need to find other ways to cut prices down without sacrificing quality.

Wow! Stepping into this local burger joint, I had some serious reservations about my choice for a…read morehamburger dinner. The service was outstanding. Very interactive, friendly, jovial, very interactive and going above and beyond to make us feel at home and answer any questions that we might have about their menu. As outstanding as the service was when we placed our order at the counter. The food itself blew everything out of the water. My cheeseburger on a sesame seed bun with green chilies, grilled onions, pepper, jack cheese, and all the accompaniments was probably one of the best burgers I've had in a very, very long time. Outstanding. My dining companion had her burger with green chilies and grilled onions and pepper jack cheese, and all the compliments served on a sopapilla bun. She said it was not good, it was marvelous, stupendous outstanding. The sweet potato fries were outstanding... Crispy, tasty and the serving was huge We were the only patrons in the restaurant at the time, but it had a friendly vibe to it and dislike a down home friendly Mom and Pop restaurant. I have tried to make as many notes as I can to make sure next time my man, Santa Fe that I grab a real burger. This place was off the chart good. I wish I could give it more than five stars, but that's my limit.

I suggest calling in your order. Makes waiting in line a thing of the past…read more Burgers were made to order and tasted delicious
