We stopped here for a dinner shortly after our arrival in Albuquerque. This is an older place, a second generation pitmaster now runs it. The Brisket was well done and tasty. The sides were well prepared and good tasting. Dessert - delicious. Stop here for...a good BBQ mealMore

The house that the restaurant is in was built in the 1800s by a Russian immigrant and is fascinating in its own right. The food was delicious. I had the brisket with green beans and fried okra sides. Absolutely fantastic.

I wanted to try something different than a chain, so I checked out this place while in Albuquerque. The Ribs were tasty, crunchy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. The sauce was tangy but the ribs weren't drenched in it. The Potato salad...was very good and the cowboy beans were good with a little spice. I was disappointed they didn't serve beer or any alcohol. Ribs with soda is just not as good.More

I really wanted to like this place especially after reading about the family history and their ties to Louisiana and East Texas; however, the food was not good. When you put the words "barbeque house" in the name of your restaurant, the meat has to...be the star of the show. Unfortunately, the only stars we had were the collard greens and cornbread cakes. The meat (pork and chicken) was bland and dry, and you could not pick up on any of the smoked flavor. Presentation was also poor, as the sandwiches were sloppily thrown together with no consistency to the meat servings - chopped bits and pieces, not slices or nicely pulled pieces. Other than a bottle of sauce on the table, there were no garnishes (or fixins') like onion, pickles, or peppers to be had. As previously mentioned, the highlights of the meal were the collard greens and cornbread cakes, but those are side dishes meant to complement the meat, not steal the show.More

This trip brought me and my students to Albuquerque, New Mexico. All games were cancelled so we had time to kill. Trip Advisor pointed out this establishment so, hey Keto plus hungry family equals, rib time. The establishment is at the corner and it looked...like it had a drive-thru so parking is at a premium. As you enter, that smoke smell hits you which triggers the salvation glands. The bathrooms are very clean and the dinning area is open. You go to the counter and place your order. The young ladies taking the order were pleasant yet missing customer service (cell phone withdraw) The brain said...ribs (insert Homer Simpson voice...mmmmm ribs). My son had the traditional deep fried corn dog, wife had a small pulled pork sandwich and of course it was ribs for me with collar greens. I hear the pulled pork and its sauce clashed in an epic way and the portion was awesome. The pulled pork had the right mix of sauce, marbeling and pork. The corn dog was....a frozen corn dog. Finally, due to Keto, the ribs were dry yet the establishment did have their sauce on the table in case you wanted more on them. The ribs could have been cut better yet the mesquite taste was awesome. The ribs were mainly clean of marbeling but a good amount was present to enhance the taste. As stated before, they could have been cut better yet they were meaty. The CHAMPION of the night..collard greens (insert George Takei voice...Oh my!) The greens were cooked to a crisp yet tender consistency. The taste of the pork surrounded each bite and the juice they sat in was special with an awesome spicy taste. Without a doubt, in highly recommend this BBQ place though it can't take on Texas BBQ it defended itself. The price was $43 for 5 ribs, corn dog, sandwich and 3 drinks. 2 thumbs up glad the snow made me do it!More

I love this restaurant, You feel like you're visiting family - the atmosphere is simple yet warm and friendly. Food is wonderful - especially desserts! I always get a meal to go it's so good.

We usually go to another bbq place when we visit Alburquerque but saw the ratings on this place and decided to give it a try. My wife and I both like beef ribs. We stepped into the door and was quickly greeted by a very...happy and energetic young man. He promptly seated us, took our drink order and said said our server would be with us soon. A couple of minutes past and she came to our table. We asked her a few questions. She answered them and took our order. We both ordered the beef rib dinner. You get two beef ribs and two sides. About 10 minuets past & she came with our dinners. The ribs had plenty of meat on them. My first rib was ok, sort of tender and the taste was ok. Second rib was pretty dry. Wife’s first rib was tender & tasty. Brought the second rib home. The people were friendly and the store was clean.More
