Going to Ruidoso in late September for a week. Looking for suggestions on where to eat and what to do. Will be taking day trips to various areas

Lincoln is a neat town if you're into the old west and Billy The Kid. Smokey Bear museum and burial site in Capitan is a short drive. Plenty of activities to do at Inn of The Mountain Gods Resort.

The nice restaurant at Inn of the Mountain Gods is a good place to eat a nice meal. Had a really good steak there last time we ate there. Lincoln County Grill for good burgers and general fare. The Log Cabin for a good breakfast. A trip over to Cloudcroft is OK. Go to The Lodge there for a meal and drink.

Take a detour through Cloudcroft and eat at Mad Jack's Mountain BBQ. Central Texas post oak cooked BBQ.

Living in Lubbock, we get to Ruidoso often. When we eat out, we enjoy a pub crawl down the main drag. Lots of pretty good places.

Lincoln County Grill is a main stay for breakfast.
There may not be time to do the job right, but there is always time to do the job over!!

My parents and I had dinner at The Rancher's Steak and Seafood twice on our last trip there. Great food. And just a heads up, the casino at Inn of The Mountain Gods doesn't allow alcohol. Don't even know how that's even legal. And the golf course there is fantastic.

Good suggestions above, especially Cloudcroft. If you're a golfer, play a round at Inn of the Mountain Gods.

Day trips from Ruidoso:
  • Carlsbad Caverns--About 3 hours away but worth the trip. I've done it in a day several times.
  • White Sands National Monument--About 1.25 hours away. Lots to do there.
  • The Owl Bar & Cafe in San Antonio--About 1.5 hours away. It's a total dive but serves one of the most famous green chili burgers in NM. Could be combined with White Sands for a nice day.

We didn't like the food at all. It was just okay. Go check our Win, Place, Show bar. It's a pretty cool dive bar. Golf and gamble at Inn of the Gods. Horse races are cool but don't go to the casino there. It sucks and smells like sewage.

We avoided WPS; almost went one night, but three of their police SUV's beat us there, so we decided to get a drink elsewhere.

The food was generally meh. I wasn't expecting Arzak, but I did expect better from the Yelp ratings.
