5 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Santa Fe

“Our first time at the Ranch House was less than an exceptional experience. Our waitress, Peggy Lee was the most professional, courteous and friendly person I have met at a resturante. She made us feel like we were old friends . The food was absolutely the best flavored I have experienced. The prime rib plate was to die for and I wouldnt have known it was being served except our waitress, Peggy recommended it. Very heads up resturante. I wish we had a Ranch House in Wichita Falls Tx.“

“Flying by the seat of our pants as usual and not overly starving, we heard the live music from the street and decided to check out the Cowgirl BBQ. They had a young guy playing some instrumental guitar and singing. The vibe inside was jumping too and seating at the bar was limited so we opted to sit outside, enjoying the live music and making friends with a husky at the table next to us that was very friendly and well-behaved. We ended up getting an order of nachos and I went with a smothered brisket sandwich that came out with enough french fries to feed four people. Hearty helpings on that brisket sandwich and I washed it down with a nice cold beer. This was our last stop of the evening in Santa Fe before we jumped back on the rails to head south back to ABQ.“

“This is a lovely little shop and coffee house near Canyon Rd and well worth a stop. You can enjoy all sorts of craft chocolate candies, baked goods and drinks and take some for the road with you. The staff are knowledgeable and eager to help.“

“A great bbq restaurant! Between 4 of us, we had pulled pork, pork loin and ribs plus cole slaw and potato salad. The pork loin was SO good!! Tender! And the cobbler had a bit too much pastry but was very yummy. We all enjoyed the food and atmosphere and how quick the service was! Plus friendly staff.“

“Up on Santa Fe for work and was told about food trucks near by. Pulled up and saw BBQ so I had to try it. Was super surprised with the food and the prices. Very reasonable for the amount of food you get. I tried the brisket sandwich with sweet bbq sauce and green chile. Big sandwich for the price and the brisket was super tender. Green chile isn't super hot but has some heat to it. Just a great sandwich with great flavor. The cole slaw is pretty good. I prefer it a little sweeter but that's just me. I highly recommend checking out this guy's food truck.“
