  We had a dinner at 6 there tonight.  From their advertising and signage, we thought it would be a nice, classy meal. Unfortunately, the restaurant was super-dirty and the food was just past mediocre.
  
  Dirty tablecloths, sticky saltshakers, stained window coverings, tiles falling off the walls, loose duct tape hanging off a lamp fixture, flies buzzing around and a dead one on the windowsill at our table.  Our dinner prayer was "please don't get sick," as we tried to make the very best of it and were on a time crunch so going somewhere else was not an option.  
  
  One positive thing -- the food LOOKS GOOD -- obviously whomever is cooking back there sincerely cares about how they put food on a plate, as the tomatoes on our burger were of perfect ripeness, the lettuce was crisp and fresh, and the burger meat, while overseasoned and undercooked, was fresh in appearance.  Other items, like croutons and sauces, were past the due date, but at least the cook obviously takes pride in what s/he puts on a plate.
  
  We won't return.  If only I had the cash, I'd buy the place out and give it a good scrubbing, a facelift, and with that location take the chance at a handsome profit!

  We went here on a Wednesday night around 6pm.  We were the ONLY people there so that was a little odd but after we sat down we knew why... the service was terrible and she didn't have a clue what beers were available, the food is VERY overpriced and the taste is bland and nothing new or inventive- the same kind of food you might get at Village Inn but at 2-3 times the cost.  In the whole hour or so we were there we were still the ONLY customers there.  No other customers even came in for the bar. The credit card receipt actually shows Roundup which was its name years ago... Will NOT be going back here again.

  Stayed at the Rio Rancho Inn for a couple of months while working in Rio Rancho in 2008.  Great food and a chef who really cares.  Made us something special and treated us like royalty.  Miss it soooo much!

  Went here last night for the first time. Food was just alright nothing special here.
  
  I ordered a Mojito but no go they were out of mint, so I went for a blue moon, good but they didn't have any oranges either?
  
  The waitress did entertain us though, she put a shot of tequila on some fajitas and almost burned her hair off it was scary and comical.
  
  I will probably not return.
