While wait times can be a little longer during busy hours, the overall experience was enjoyable and worth the visit.“

“Our first time today. We had a super lunch. Started out with the tea being fresh. Salsa and chips were tasty, not too spicy, shrimp tacos, perfectly balanced with a nice slaw and avacado. Pork asado extremely flavorful yet not too hot! Will definitely go back again!“

“Today May 13th food is always good in Carlsbad. Atmosphere was horrible the waitress was taking an order on the phone had her back to everything but she had an extensive order. Was taking a little bit of time. If you don't get it in then you can't get the money in. I had already told the waitress as I was waiting to decide what I was going to have for breakfast to go ahead and take the phone call. The drive-up got busy as well. But we were both being patient. The cook Rebecca yelled and said order up which is fine she should and then she said again I'm just a little while not very long at all my food's getting cold. The waitress I don't know her name sorry it wasn't Lisa so I don't know who it was of blonde lady. Very nice. Reported I'm on the phone with a with a order. Rebecca yelled well if you can't get it out then I suggest you get help! A customer should never hear that. Why didn't the cook come out and deliver the food and say that the waitress will check on you in just a moment. Instead of yelling. Or send out the dishwasher. To assist. Finally the dishwasher did come out and she helped with the drive up and Rebecca did come out and give the gentleman their food. It was not the end of the world but she was horrible then afterwards after the waitress had taken my order and I had sat down. The waitress went in the back and Rebecca was yelling at her again I could hear her yelling at her I never heard anything that's a waitress said the waitress never talked back to her that I could tell. And it doesn't matter at that point it was not a good morning. That was very disrespectful of your employees all of them and the people who are coming in to buy your food quote unquote the customers who pay your bills! And your employees paycheck. If it ever happens again I will not be back thank you very much the food was good“

“The bbq was excellent. I had pulled pork and brisket with double mac and cheese. Their mac and cheese is fantastic, better than my mother’s homemade mac and cheese. Brisket you could cut with your fork and the pull pork was really good and good bbq sauce too. Highly recommend you stop here if your near Carlsbad. New Mexico.“

“I'd never eaten here before, but my mom was in the mood for a burger (I'm ALWAYS in the mood for a burger). The menu was easy to read and understand. I can't believe they have Tostadas as a side! 👀
We ordered our food and drinks, one of them being the sampler, which comes w/ onion rings, fried mushrooms, fried pickles, and mozz sticks, and jalapeño poppers. The friendly gentleman who took our order came out to the car to tell us they were out of onion rings, but would sub w/whatever else we wanted. I opted for more mushrooms. 😋 The drinks are perfectly mixed, everything came exactly as ordered, and the food was delicious.
Will DEFINITELY be coming back for more.“

“This waitress named shanda was so amazing it was her 2 day working here an it was the best I have ever had she was just leaving stayed cuz I didn’t want the other waitress and she was so sweet aboutit“

“We have been all around the country and love Blake's the best for burgers, however we had not been to this location. Food was good, cooked fresh when we ordered, and friendly service. The restaurant was filthy. The kitchen looked clean enough but the dining areas and bathrooms were disgusting and in disrepair.“
