4 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Carlsbad

“Texas style bbq for when you are away from Texas. Lean brisket was dry but sausage and pork ribs were decent. I enjoyed the potato salad a lot haven't had potato salad that good in a long time. I know people opinions vary a lot on style but it's the style I like, mustard and other flavors added to give it some crunch.“

“Colleen and I travel the country having barbecue in every town we can. In Carlsbad, New Mexico, we chose Red Chimney Barbecue. It was founded in 1954 and still going strong with the third generation of family, so they must be doing something right. We are eating low-carb so we started with the chef salad which was flavorful. The only critique I have for the entire dinner was That the chef salad was made with iceberg lettuce, which is so yesterday, when Romain lettuce is so much more flavorful and healthy. Onto the meat! The brisket had a very nice smoke ring, it was extremely tender and moist, even though it was very lean slices. I like that. The sauce was good, but the brisket stands on its own merit. Most barbecue places have baby back ribs, but red chimney has The more meaty spareribs. They were tender and juicy as well, not fall off the phone, but flavorful and tender. The sausage was very good as well. The menu has many interesting dishes so we will definitely be back to try some more of them. I have to say that Bree was a wonderful server and took really good care of us. The atmosphere is very nice as well. So red chimney barbecue gets five stars all the way around!“
