Circle J Barbecue

As soon as we walked in a tall gentleman helped us right away. Gave us instructions on how to order and had us pick drinks. My elderly father needed to use the restroom and both gentleman working were quick to tell us where the restrooms are and both of them were polite and kind. Appreciated that!!! We ordered our food and the brisket was delicious. It wasn't dry. And the BBQ sauce on the table was good. The potato salad and macaroni and cheese was delicious. I'd go again if I was in the area. My father had the turkey and he wished he had an order to go and talked about how good the food was the next day. He's extremely picky so it says a lot when he can't stop talking about the food. 😊

Very laid back restaurant- 2 people total running the front and back. Quick friendly service... best of all, very tender brisket and turkey. Only "complaint" is the meats & sides could use a tiny bit more salt but i guess thats what salt shakers are for... otherwise... this place is good!

My wife and I stopped in here for lunch after a day of off roading and were quite impressed with the service and food quality. It's such a small place I almost missed it when driving past, so keep an eye open when driving through. The brisket sandwich is on point with notes of hickory and a beautiful pepper bark. The mac-n-cheese is made with real cheese and has strings of cheese pulling away with every fork full. My wife got the pulled pork sandwich that was very moist and juicy with every bite. The sweet tea was refreshing and not overly sweet. Definitely make this a stop on your route, you won't regret it.

This was a great stop for lunch, and as a Central Texan who enjoys good BBQ, this was a welcome surprise to find in New Mexico. The sausage and pulled pork were both fantastic, and my husband had the brisket and ribs and was equally as impressed. Good sides, and a peach iced tea made for a fantastic meal. My husband asked to see the smoker—and they obliged. Service, food, and even the sauces (which are great, but thankfully not needed) are worth recommending if you’re in the area.
