Ribs Hickory Pit BBQ

I wish I could give a better review but if I have to be honest then three stars is as best as it gets. I have tried this spot several times because it's one of the only spots in Los Lunas to get BBQ. Now to start off there appetizers are actually pretty amazing love the combo plater with a little bit of everything on it. Now when comes to the main courses I have tried it all at different times and days thinking maybe it's the chef on duty but sadly no. I have yet to find a main course that I find good. Now I will say the atmosphere is really nice and the bar area is fantastic. The drinks are on point and when they have live music I actually like it however, if we're talking food not so much and that's why I give it a solid three stars the service is always great in the bar area as well as the dining area.

Had lunch. Before ordering I asked the waitress if the Ribs were fresh as I have had a bad experience here once before. She said they were fresh and hot. Ribs came they were at least a day or more old warmed on a grill. I am a BBQ judge and have judged BBQ contests allover the USA. One of the worst restaurants BBQ meals I have ever been served.

Bad experience! Never even had anyone wait on us, so I cannot review the food. It's always awful to feel discriminated against.

We have went to have dinner several times and were turned away, they said they were closed. When they still have over an hour till closing don't waste your time here bad service and do not keep to there hours!!!

Food was delicious Sunday 11/19/23 at Ribs Los Lunas but my bill for takeout was $15.73. I handed server 20 dollar bill. She never brought my change. I tried to get her attention but she ignored me and guess she expected that was her tip!!!!!Is this a common practice of Ribs in Los Lunas??

This place has got to be the absolute worst restaurant I have ever eaten at. I ordered a BBQ turkey sandwich and what I got was 4 super thin slices of turkey lunch meat that looked like they just opened the package and tossed it on the grill to disguise that it was probably Oscar Mayer. The bun was COLD and I had a quarter slice of a tomato and one slice of leaf lettuce as garnish. I had hoped to order a baked potato as my side but they were already out and it wasn't even 630pm and they didn't start serving baked potatoes until after 5pm so they probably didn't make any. I chose fries which was the only thing edible but the bite of the turkey sandwich left such an awful taste in my mouth I couldn't eat them. We don't have any BBQ restaurants in Los Lunas except this place and I hope it shuts the doors soon before they poison someone with that stuff they call food but isn't.

Came for the games on Sunday afternoon. Good food, beer and service! I will go back. Heard it's under new management.

Barbecue is tasty but the portion size of the smoked chicken sandwich has been halved and the wonderful steak fries I used to get have been replaced by soggy salty fries. Blech! And the price went up too!!! No, just no!

Went there for my Sons 18th birthday dinner, there were 6 of us. I had the combo platter, in order to get a bit of everything. The food came, and we had to ask then for silverware. We were not offered a refill on our drinks, the "waitress" only then showed with the bill. Since there were 6 of us, the "gratuity" was already added, and that chaps me. Based on my previous experience with that practice, It's an added fee for your food, and the server knows they're getting paid, so their incentive to provide outstanding service or even good service is removed. The dining room is quite small. When we left, we noticed a Hispanic group in the corner booth, they had an infant with them, and they changed it in the corner of the booth.Insofar as the food goes, it was meh at best. For being smoked meat, you really couldn't taste the smoking. Now I'm no so called "expert" on this matter,but insofar as smoking goes, doing it right, where I come from, those are fighting words. The sides, one of which was cole slaw, that's the unmistakable taste of WalMart cole slaw. How would I know? I have some at home with my pulled pork. My son complained his burger was overcooked, we had no real complaints from the rest of the group. I do smoke at home, I do have a smoker and a frill, so I do know a bit about it. Just having a smoker doesn't mean great food, you have to expend some effort.All in all, i would have been just as happy or happier going somewhere else, but my wife had her heart set on it. Just providing a dining venue doesn't cut it. I may hear the excuse of "running a business" or some such rot. Since I do have a degree in Business, I know a bit of what I'm talking about.This review is my opinion, and in that vein, you could ber better served going to an alternate location, say the Arbys up the road. And as my opinion, take it as such. I've lived in this village 6 years, and this is the second time I've been there.Again, *Meh* at best.
