★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jeremy “RED ZMAN” Zimmerman · Dec 2025

I was hoping for better and what we got was okay. Will probably come back again for the pork ribs as they were pretty good but everything else was just okay as well. Main reason we came here is Google said that they had beef ribs. If you look at their menu, not the photos of the menus but the actual menu they put together themselves, it says beef ribs if you go back through some of the photos of their menus there are mentions of beef ribs. Are waiter was a bit annoying and made sure that he explained to us that not only do they not have beef ribs they have never had beef ribs since they've opened. We got the sampler of which everything was decent. The stars on it were the chicken and the pork ribs along with the sausage. The pulled pork, which I'm pretty sure is done by Machine as it was a

This is where all the Coo kids come to eat. Everyone was vibing and nobody seemed uncomfortable dancing to the talented band, eating or whatever. Our waiter held down the service more then steller and we we're absolutely impressed. The Manager was one off the nicest lady's I have met and treated us with the upmost respect. Don't forget to try the membership as i got istantly more then the small one time fee i paid for it with love!!. Last but not least the food was magical and put me in a happy trance, dont forget to try the burnt beef ends with Mac & slaw. Mmmm! Catch you all again soon enough!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Tyco Jewel · Oct 2025

Came by on a Sunday afternoon after a hike for first time at this Nexxus location. I really enjoyed my meal. I got a chocolate porter which was very good although not the best dark chocolate beer in ABQ (Boxing Bear).The catfish was delicious as was the pulled pork. For sides I got collard greens and okra, both were great. They have a variety of BBQ sauces and a couple of tasty dipping sauces for your okra. Overall, very happy. Only complaint...they were playing late 70s disco fever music (Bee Gees,Boogie Wonderland) which just didn't jive with a Sunday afternoon. Otherwise ++++!

★★★★★ 5.0 Cullen Boardman · Feb 2026

Funky atmosphere as there are very disjointed sections and rooms but don't let that dampen your view, the place is awesome! Service was great as our server was incredibly kind and pleasent to work. Along side the fantastic food, this is a must try. Catfish and okra was light, crisp, and perfectly executed. Nachos/burnt ends were intense, but worth conquering.

★★★★★ 5.0 Charlotte Wilson Wilson · Mar 2026

The catfish was very good. Hot but it could've been seasoned. The Mac and Cheese with green chili 😋 was good. The Cold slaw was not good at all. They have to do better with that. This was the Broadway Restaurant.
