Sagebrush Grill & Cantina

I have no idea why this establishment has only a 3.9. It almost deterred us from going there. We are so glad we ignored the 3.9 rating! It was perfect! We each enjoyed an amazing meal and I basked in a delicious glass of Bordeaux. We loved the atmosphere and the ambiance. I'd give more stars if I could.

First time coming here...
atmosphere was top notch with ambiance. Loved the live music!
It is a holiday weekend so I always give grace to busy servers.
However people that came in after us were served first. I had to go to the bar and get my own drink. My server was reluctant to give me her name. She said call her Banana Pepper Star. Ugh
Hopefully it was a bad day for her. You never know what is going on with someone in their personal life.
Food was on point! So delicious

This place has plenty bugs that are not the bugs they warn about on their disclaimer at the front door. We found multiple spiders in the pillows and the beds that we paid a fair amount for. We might as well have gone to a sub par motel.

We're guests of the hotel. Food and service was good at dinner, but the breakfast waitress was extremely rude with a nasty attitude. We got up and left before we ordered our food. No need to start off with your customers with a nasty attitude.

This place is actually historic and beautiful. The food was incredible. I enjoyed the chili relleno and my wife had blueberry pancakes such history in this place. Open beams with large log ceiling worth coming just to look around

Food is great, I got the carne asada fries and prime rib and both were incredible. The service is also excellent, there was one lady serving us and I really appreciate her dealing with the big group that I was in since it was only her.

Went there specifically for a steak dinner. Found out about 25 minutes after we ordered that they were out of steak. Server seemed rushed and overwhelmed. Also extremely dim in the restaurant. Live music was cool though.

This vibrant restaurant featured live music, great service, and great food. Our waiter in particular was very helpful and charismatic.

Breakfast was a disaster. Tension between staff, incomplete servings, ear-splitting crashes (plural) on the concrete floor. Besides that the prices are very high.
But the coffee was great!

Not a place I would return to. No hostess at the hostess station when we walk in. Dirty glassware, which still had food in it. Incorrect food came out, so had to have the kitchen make the order again. Rice was extremely undercooked or old, most likely both. Waitress added gratuity on a table of 5. Not a pleasant experience from start to finish.

Great open space in the cantina to have some drinks and eats. The nachos are HUGE and the local beer selection was solid. The live music from a band with great range made for a fun atmosphere in an old west setting. The patio outside has a great view of the mountain just behind the pueblo, perfect for sunset.

As cliché as it may sound, my partner and I are very generous tippers. We enjoy supporting good service and good people—especially when we’re out to support our friends, like we were this night at Sagebrush in Taos. But after the experience we had with bartender Katie Rose, there was no way I could justify leaving more than a minimal tip that accurately reflected the rude and dismissive service we received. She was happy to serve us attitude, and I was more than happy to tip accordingly. I’m sure her regulars will take care of her—what good are two more customers when you already have your favorites?

We arrived in good spirits, ordered our first drinks, and sat at the bar. After finishing our drinks, we were ignored repeatedly—Katie walked past us several times without acknowledging us. After a long wait, we politely got her attention with a simple, “Miss, can we get another drink?” to which she responded with an aggressive attitude as if we were bothering her just for asking.

When we finally got our second round, my margarita was half full and extremely watered down. I politely asked why it wasn’t poured the same way as the first. She rolled her eyes, claimed she “added more ice,” dumped it into a smaller cup, made a mess in the process, and said, “This is what we normally serve. Trust me, I make these a hundred times a day.” Her entire demeanor was condescending and dismissive.

To make things worse, Katie then went and spoke to security, and shortly afterward, we were blatantly cut off after just two drinks—one of which was barely a full serving. Security looked us up and down with attitude, and without any explanation, Katie printed our check before we even finished eating. She started scooting us over to make room for her regulars. The message was loud and clear: we weren’t welcome.

We were calm and respectful the entire time. We didn’t argue, didn’t raise our voices, and didn’t match her energy. We simply came to support our friends in the band and enjoy our night. But her attitude toward us, compared to how she treated her regulars, was night and day.

As someone who owns businesses and is studying law, I take service and presentation seriously. Serving a guest a glass half full of mostly ice is not just lazy—it’s misleading. And treating first-time guests like they’re a burden is a guaranteed way to lose potential loyal customers. But again, I’m sure Katie Rose doesn’t care. We’re not regulars, and to her, we probably never mattered to begin with.

The food was okay, shoutout to the kitchen staff. It’s just a shame that kind of service taints the whole experience. If you’re having a bad day, that’s okay. We all do. But take the night off instead of taking it out on the guests.
