There was a $3.99 senior lunch special the day I was there. It was much better than I had expected, and consisted of Pork Chops with gravy, a generous portion of Potatoes au Gratin, vegetables, and a roll. The sauces and gravy were good, and waitress friendly. There is a big screen tv and dozens of individual televisions with a variety of sports programming, including horse races and golf tournaments. The main restaurant next door was closed, but this was a pleasant alternative.

In the Ruidoso Downs Race Track and Casino
Reviewed By Debbie R
The trip to this facility was very educational about Billy the Kid and even had information and pictures about Billy that my husband (who is a history buff) had never seen. A great museum for older children especially those interested in history, smaller children and those not interested in history, not so much. The curator was VERY helpful and courteous.

A middle of the road restaurant with middle of the road food. However, if your waiter tells you that the restaurant makes its own soda and then when you get the bottle and read the label and then wonder "how in the world does Illinois own this restaurant", just don't bother asking. It'll boggle the mind contemplating the response.

We liked the large tap beer selection, but we got poor service and the area was very noisy. About three different people waited on us, but didn't coordinate... so our orders were slow, we didn't get plates (had to go back to the kitchen to ask for them), and our drinks got mixed up. The appetizers were very average. The facility is beautiful and well-appointed... a nice atmosphere if the bar patrons hadn't been so loud. Wish management would have asked them to quiet down!

Since last review almost 3-years ago, tremendous improvement on food - easily top-2 dining opportunities in South Central N.M; plus, their service is so nice - attentive folks who really pamper you. Try their special seafood-buffet ... itâs far superior to Inn of Mountain Gods. Poolside food/beverage service is a real treat too. As far as catering to their customers/members, they have 4-dining venues. 99+% clubs are closed Mondays, giving no food/beverage access on Mondays. However, these folks stagger their dining rooms so as to make sure there are choices available 7-days/week. Donât see that kind of thoughtfulness much anymore. All-in-all, a VERY well-run operation offering excellent dining/beverage/entertaining for their customers. BooRah. Well done.
