I did a pick up order, it was ready amazingly fast. Food was perfect to how we ordered it. I got the mushroom bacon burger and the chicken tenders. Nice juicy burger. Fantastic seasoning on the tenders and the fries were great. First time trying this place and I will definitely be coming back to try other things on their broad menu!

We were looking at new restaurants in Rio Rancho and found this one. We decided to try it. The hostess was really nice. Our waitress was on top of it she was so kind, professional and friendly. She provided us refills before our drinks were even empty. I asked her what the best appetizer was and she pointed them out. We enjoyed the staff they were all very nice and knew the menu! We decided to try the pork sliders. These sliders were stacked high with delicious pulled pork, onions and pickles. One of the best appetizers I have ever had. My mom had the chicken fried chicken with green chili gravy and she said it was phenomenal! My nephew had the pulled pork hamburger and sweet potato fries he said the burger was fantastic and the fries were delicious. My youngest had the kids quesadilla and fries and she seemed to really enjoy her food. I had the maple glazed meatloaf with double mashed potatoes. The meatloaf was delicious and whatever the glaze was made out of was super delicious. The mashed potatoes were also delicious. My other family members tried the chocolate cake and really enjoyed it but said it was super rich. The atmosphere was nice and it was not too noisy. I love this new restaurant! I would love to eat here again anytime.

Nice little place for family, friends to share a meal. Nothing fancy, but excellent food, service. Ordered a Bacon Mushroom Swiss Hamburger which came out perfectly cooked medium. Good flavor, friendly table service and a decently priced meal. Definitely will come back!

Wonderful creamy goodness of Mac n cheese. The burger was pretty decent too. I am seriously coming back here to try the rest of the Mac n cheese offerings since I just had some as a burger side. The burger needs more seasoning on the meat but otherwise it was cooked nicely and paired well with their sauce and green chili. Dining atmosphere was quite comfortable and makes for a nice date spot. I'll be back!

I started digging in before taking nice pictures. The brue burger with no bun was delicious. I wasn't sure how sweet the onion gam was, so I asked for it on the side, and it was very nice and not too sweet. The Chantilly cake was delicious. The Mac and cheese was home made and cheesy.

The meatloaf is not to be missed ,moist, and great flavor. I had the GREEN chile gravy and it was the best I have had locally!! My wife loved her mushroom swiss burger and would only stop talking about it to take a bite!!!

I loved our lunch at Upscale Rio. We both got burgers and fries. My partner got one of the gourmet burgers and I got a more classic burger. I was glad that there were “adventurous” options for my partner and more basic options for me. Both burgers were delicious. I had homemade lemonade that I really enjoyed. And we got a slice of Chantilly cake that was delicious. The service was excellent and they told us everything was made in house which was impressive. I will definitely eat here again.
