A great spot!
Laid-back vibe, excellent service, and a really welcoming atmosphere. The food is absolutely delicious, too! Perfect place to relax and enjoy good eats and drinks.

Go for the food, stay because your server disappeared for a couple minutes and then got your bill wrong.

Several visits both solo and with groups have provided consistently bad service with decent food - sometimes it's even what you ordered. Our server on multiple visits was just bad, forgetful or disorganized, and he remains today. Maybe it's the ordering system, but our beers were often empty while we waited to flag down someone to refill them. Something is wrong here, and a group of 6 shouldn't break their system like it did for us. I didn't argue about the wrong order, just walked home with some extra hot chicken.
Once we got our beers they were delicious... Once we got them. I don't think we'll be back after this last outing though. The great food doesn't overcome the need to flag down your server for another round. I'll revisit this as opportunity presents itself but this review is the result of multiple visits over more than a year so....

Went in to try the beer and the wings. Food was good(tried both types of wings and they were both overcooked, fish was undercooked.), service was good (waited over 30 minutes to get food) and the atmosphere was nice. Brewery/restaurant was pretty full.

Always a wait here ando when we finally sat we waited a long time. No food is worth waiting an hour and a half for AFTER you've ordered.

First, the good thing....their gumbo is EXCELLENT, and the beer was good! Unfortunately the rest of the food was just adequate or worse. This is supposed to be a Texas style BBQ place but we barely tasted any smoke in the food. The ribs were deep fried, poor quality and greasy tasting. But the worst part of our experience was the service. This is a brewery and our server never asked us if we wanted to order a beverage. After serving waters and taking our food order we never saw him back at the table. I had to go to the bar counter to order a beer, and then had to go ask 3 times when I was going to receive it. My wife and I are visiting Albuquerque for the first time and I was really looking forward to some authentic Texas BBQ. Total disappointment

First time, really enjoyed the food. Plenty of seating, server was nice.

Best fried catfish I have found in Albuquerque. Solid fried okra. Great service, very friendly. Lots of parking. Lot of room inside, nice little patio for outside dining. In spite of the highway construction, they are booming. Will be back again and again.
