Fatwood Barbeque - Alamogordo

The food is good. We have eaten there twice. Both times, I had the 1 meat plate. I ordered sausage, and there was a big difference in the amount of meat received both times. The first time, 2 guys were working, and I received a nice portion of sausage. This past Sunday, there were 2 ladies working, and I only received about half the sausage I got on our first visit. Sad cause food is good.

So much potential. Ordered 3 meals: pulled pork, ribs, sausage and brisket. 2x 2-meat, 1x 3 meat. Placed online order which was one of the best things about this place. On arriving at 5:30pm (not late in the evening, on a Saturday) they informed me that they were out of ribs and pulled pork. Only have brisket (chopped and sliced) and sausage. No other meats. So we all had brisket. It was ok. Nothing extraordinary. But the 2-meat meals had more meat than the 3 meat meal with less than a hot dog worth of sausage in there too. Banana pudding sounded great but was bland, about 1/3 whipped cream. Such an easy opportunity. Also the rolls were cheap store-bought. Ok but prob cost more than making fresh cornbread.

This is by far the best barbecue in New Mexico . I was in line behind a couple of families from Texas. They said they always come through Alamogordo to head for the mountains and the one reason they stop in Alamogordo is for Fatwood Barbecue.Parking: Parking is very convenientKid-friendliness: Very family friendly

I don 't know if this was a one-off type of deal or what, but my recent visit (6/16/23) leads me to believe that I will probably not be returning. I ordered a pint of cole-slaw and two orders of banana pudding (we were going to make fish tacos with the coleslaw). First, that order came to over $19...which seems a bit crazy, but I just wanted to get home so I paid and left. The coleslaw was $8 for pint. When I got home and opened the container I was amazed...amount of coleslaw I got could never qualify as a pint...maybe a 1/2 pint if I 'm feeling generous. Then, after dinner I opened one of my banana puddings. There were a total of three slices of banana and no 'Nilla wafers. I get times are difficult and prices are high, but you don 't engender loyalty with customers by screwing them over.

My brisquit was exceptional! Baked beans, delicious, Cole slawgood. But I didn't get it? They asked me here or to go, I said here, and it came in closed to go container? And my bottle root beer was warm. I would go back again. Not the Styrofoam. More ice on drinks or something different.
