Pecan Grill and Brewery

Can't say enough good things about this place. We're visiting from out of town and our local friends recommended it. Stopped in for appetizers and drinks our first night in town and had to come back the next morning for brunch as well.Stuffed chiles and beer cheese fondue were bith great. The Monte Cristo was the absolute best I've EVER had, and the beer battered fries that come with it were among the best I've ever had too. All the cocktails my wife tried were fantastic, and the Pecan Amber Ale is probably my new favorite beer ever.Justin was our bartender/server both times we went in and he was excellent. Friendly, engaging, and made some great recommendations. I wish we had a Pecan Grill back in LA. Definitely check it out if you're in Las Cruces.

Ambience is okay. The service is friendly and fast. The food is very much okay. I have been here a few times and every time the food sounds better than it ends up being. Should be better for the price you are paying (not that expensive but not cheap either).

We came on Sunday night and it wasn't very busy. We got the pecan breaded stuffed green chiles, the fish and chips, and happy hour quesadilla (happy hour all day on Sunday's) and everything was delicious. 2024 #39

I was dining alone. After reaching Las Cruces after a 4-Hour drive I was pretty hungry. So I stopped here because I actually like the name of the place. I asked her table outside on the patio. My server probably arrived give me a menu got me water. We discussed some brews, and I decided on the pecan beer. It was super yummy. Waited a bit for my food. It seems that locally the crusted pecan Chicken is a local fave. I ordered it and it was very yummy. I had ordered a second beer and never really did arrive and then I asked for my check the server just said that they got really slammed in the last couple of hours that they were open. So while service was a bit slow I overall still had a nice meal.

It was a casual dinner with my mom and 1 y/o. First impression of the place was positive by their very friendly and courteous staff. They saw us coming in - toddler and diaper bag in hand - and they rushed to open the door for us and greeted us with a smile and want welcome. That goes such a long way. The decor is very rustic, large dining area and very clean. We were seated right away as went in before their dinner rush. Our server Gabby was so sweet and sincere. She was also a very good server, even engaging in "conversation" with my toddler. It was adorable. We had the stuffed Hatch Chiles for appetizer. I ordered the Hatch Chicken Pasta, my mom ordered the Squash Pasta with (added) Pecan Crusted Salmon. I ordered the chicken and broccolini for the baby. I asked for them to almost overcook the veggies so he would be able to chew it without issue.The appetizers were decent. I think my expectation was above the delivery, but it was alright. My Hatch Chicken Pasta was OK. It did not wow me at all. It almost tasted like homemade Alfredo with a Chile and bacon garnish. My mom's Squash Pasta was actually really good and probably what I'd get on a subsequent visit. The Salmon was well seasoned, but however was overcooked and didn't look too be "crusted" in anything, let alone pecans. As for the kid's food... The chicken was so dry and the broccolini was almost as crunchy as if it were raw, so we ended up giving him veggies from my mom's plate instead. Overall, a pleasant experience. Something else we did really appreciate is that the food was not too salty as is the tendency sometimes when your eat out. They have the balance on that for sure. So we'd probably visit again in the future.

Great service from Joshua who also created the Mocktail menu. The one I had was amazing. Layers of flavors. So good! Then I enjoyed the stuffed poblano. Husband enjoyed his green chile pasta. All very good and we want to come here again. Especially to try all the mocktails!

First time at the Pecan Grill. We only ate and did not try anything from the drink menu. Our dinner included the fish and chips, garlic tossed French fries, stuffed green chili, and cilantro, lime rice. I wish I could report that the food was better than just ok but everything just missed something to make it a little better. For example, the fish was battered using a house made beer. You could taste the beer and the fish was well cooked but the batter was over fried on the outside and mushy on the inside. Either the oil was too hot or the batter wasn't thin enough to avoid this problem. The garlic tossed fries had good flavor but were soggy from the oil. Even the coleslaw lacked acid to give it the compliment to the fried fish. The stuffed green chili had good flavor and heat but again lacked some acid or sauce to compliment the heavy fried flavor. The cilantro lime rice was too strong and the rice stuck together like wallpaper paste. My general sense was that whomever was cooking never really tasted the food to understand which little techniques to use to season and compliment the flavors in these dishes. Our server was kind and social but failed to follow up after the food was received to see if we needed drink refills or other accompaniments. She needs a little more training. Finally, it drives me crazy when restaurants charge a fair price and then nickel and dime you for things like a small side of ranch ($1.50) or $.99 for one minced garlic clove to be tossed with the fries. Just build it into the cost of the meal already. For $15 fish and chips and $5.50 for a cup of rice, I think the Pecan Grill can do better.

There are a lot of good restaurants in town. This isn't one of them. The fact that it's located at the mall should have been a clue that the food would be mediocre. Nachos were Tostitos topped with Velveeta and a few canned chilis- IN NEW MEXICO? Pecan chicken was over cooked and served with bitter broccolini and a small scoop of mashed potatoes. Meh. Their Pecan Amber beer is pretty interesting and decent and worth a try, but eat elsewhere.

This place gave my child raw chicken. Management fixed this problem immediately. Thank you for that. Also, the stuffed Green chilies where good

Cod fish was ok.Cole slaw was not good. Hush puppies were very hot and not so good. Very greasy food and just ok. Very expensive and not worth the price. Cheese burgers were ok except one was very raw. I will not be going back. Very bad overall. Need new cooks and probably new managemen. I was forced to to go because of my wife. yucky yuck.
