“We had a large party that came in at 8:45 to celebrate a birthday and waited to be sat for a bit. May Lucero was our waitress and she was and always is awesome. Where most servers get annoyed at serving a large party so late in the evening, she served us with a smile and did a fabulous job! Servers should learn from her! We had a great evening because of her and she took great care of us.”

“Just went here today and it was great. Got some lemonades, tea, and a strawberry Dubai chocolate cup and everything was so good!”

“We will try it one more time; we should've gotten the sub vs pizza....(for picky children-too much sauce on pizza for picky children).
Parking was horrendous, especially considering this is a 'tourist town', but the locals are at least understanding of such hazards & are polite to most travellers.
We will try again as Schlotzskys has been around since I was a child & lasting 50 years is saying something.”

The owners are some of the sweetest people I've ever met and were very attentive to our needs. It's obvious that they honor God with their business. They've also got a really cool selection of specialty sodas, food mixes, jewelry, and other trinkets.”

Food 5 stars whole experience 6 🤩 stars.”

“A small 8-table restaurant tucked into a corner of a small shopping plaza in Midtown Ruidoso. Relatively unimpressive UNTIL one tries the food. The sashimi and sushi were both excellent and the fish very fresh. One of the best sushi restaurants that I have tried from coast to coast. We will be eating at this establishment every time we come to Ruidoso. I would have given a solid 5 star review except that the sashimi pieces were smaller than what most sushi restaurants serve. But the food was EXCELLENT!”

“The manager and owner of this place have everything well taken care of. While the manager was preparing the food, the owner was serving people. Very good experience after a long day at the track, will be coming back soon.”

“Absolutely amazing meal. I had the New York strip. Easily one of the top 5 steaks I’ve ever had. Wife had the vegan enchiladas that were delicious. We shared a stuffed avocado and breaded Chile strips. Two new dishes that knocked our socks off. Staff were very friendly, responsive, and made frequent checks. The owner was engaging and very friendly. Absolutely on our return next year for our anniversary trip restaurant list!”
