Nexus Blue Smokehouse

The customer service here is excellent! I highly recommend the brisket sliced rather than chopped for the best flavor and texture. The chicken was slightly overcooked, but the spicy sausage delivered a perfect kick of heat. I also tried the fried rib; while it wasn't my preference, the tenderness suggests that their regular ribs are likely fantastic.

Hands down best BBQ in A'BQ!!Service was excellent friendly staff Very impressed with cleanliness and everyone in uniform.Great job!

I've been going to Nexus Blue for years now. This last Sunday was the best experience I've had in a couple years. The staff they have in place is fantastic. Ribs were amazing- sausage was great. If there is better BBQ in ABQ show me-

It was a very delicious place! It's a no frills lunch spot but I really liked their meats. My husband got the 3 meat combo platter with sausage, brisket and burnt ends. It was all cooked and seasoned well. I did a 1/2 plate of nachos and found the ground beef to be really dry and chewy. Their pico de gallo was some of the best I have ever had though so it balanced out. They pour a stiff drink and have a nice beer selection.

I've been to Nexus Blue Smokehouse a few times now and, while I don't eat BBQ food as often as most people do, I do enjoy the food and the dining environment that Nexus Blue Smokehouse offers.The restaurant does have plenty of parking spot and seating for diners (although the restaurant is a little bit out of the way from many places) and at times offers a great space for performance as well (think music performances!).What I liked was...the place makes you feel more laid back and forget all about the worries that you may have during every day life. For once, you are able to sit and be focused on enjoying the food and the treat/tasty food the Nexus Blue Smokehouse has to offer. Topped with that, the staff was great, friendly and accommodating.If you are looking for a great local BBQ place in BBQ, check this place out. I actually have been to both Nexus locations in ABQ and, by far, prefer this location a lot more. Less worries about parking, more space to eat...and just...be laid back enjoying the food and the company you go dine with!

This place has one of our favorite. But it does lack consistency. Take for example the nachos or the cheese fries. You come early in the day they use some creamy cheese. You come in the evening and it's some shredded cheese. Sometimes the smoked meat say brisket is chopped on the fries other times shredded or slices. Many times they run out of meats. Just very inconsistent in quality and quantity.

Happy Holidays to me! Snuck away from work to grab myself the yummiest pulled pork sandwich in town from NBS! I love their red chile bbq sauce as it's not too sweet, not very smoky, but packs that red chile flavor I didn't know I needed in bbq sauce. Also love me all the collard greens and when they add in brisket to theirs, you know it's extra extra good (but also not oily). Potato salad always pairs well with pulled pork and theirs is standard on the vinegar side (IMO), and I like it! Staff is always rock solid per usual and know how to give quick service. Bbq ain't easy to keep up with. Takes a lot of TLC and patience to produce good meats. If you're in town, going to a lobo or isotopes game, or just craving some good ass bbq, stop here!!

When we went we were expecting some pretty dank BBQ, the place was pretty packed. The bartender was not attentive at all and she was right infront of us the whole time. She would disappear forver and never really seemed to check on anyone who was around the bar. The BBQ was okay but not anything that we would come back for. There was no music or TV playing while we were there which also made it kind of awkward. We also got fried pickles with our sandwiches and they were horrible, but the Mac N cheese was excellent for sure! I'm sure others have had better experiences, but ours wasn't.

Everything was good and I'm very picky. My brisket sandwich with 2 sides was on the money. I'm a big guy and I was very satisfied with the taste, presentation and service. It's really close to the PIT and Isotopes field, so it's going to be our go-to whenever there's an event in the area or when you gotta get food that makes you go THATS WHY WE CHOSE NOT TO COOK!

I love Nexus! Both locations are our go to spots for family dinner and for date nights!
