Nuckolls Brewing Co. Angel Fire

TL; DR: Would really try hard to avoid this place. We spent 9-hours on the road and arrived in Angel Fire just as dinner time was coming around. We traveled with 6-adults and 4-kids. The pizza joints weren’t picking up so we decided to try this brewery…pretty big mistake. First, it’s pretty pricey for what it is. Food was okay (hence the 2-stars), with the exception of the ridiculous chicken sandwich (chicken nuggets on the cheapest order arranged on a bun) and the wildly small ramekin of queso and salsa ($7). See pics for more detail. On top of that, the staff were fairly rude when taking our order over the phone. Seemed to be out off by our calling in and wanting to order food for pickup. Can’t speak to the drinks since we ordered to go, so maybe that is their strong suit?

Great little place! We went in for lunch with no wait. Cozy place with a nice beer selection and the food was good. Fish tacos and gyro were both good and everyone at the table really liked the fries. Service was good a very friendly staff. We'll be back.

There was a solo guitarist that played great oldies rock and roll music it made the stay a bit better than just to go eat and get out. The service was great, but the portion size for the price was a bit off. I got the full size chicken strips, as you see. The small size is only two strips. They do have very good beer, but don't expect a full bar with the different kinds of drinks. They only serve local New Mexico alcohol, beer, wine, and liquor... local. Brewhaus salad with grilled chicken is awesome with the Black Lake Vanilla Porter. Must try you won't regret it. Ask for Brandy she is on top of everything.

Burgers and fries were EXCELLENT, and eating outside was lovely. But it was a pretty long wait (they DID warn us), and the website menu and times are inaccurate (check Facebook instead).

Great service and location, good fried pickles but just okay beer. I don't know if it's the water they use or what but every beer had a distinct taste that I wasn't a fan of. Not bad, just not my favorite.

The Crispy Buffalo Chicken 🐔Cheddar sandwich was fantastic! The fries were really good but the craft beer battered onion rings were easily some of the best we've ever had! My husband had the Grilled Herb Chicken 🐓 I'm not a fan of mayo but I ❤ pesto so I tried a couple of bites & WOW! It was so damn delicious, I was kinda wishing I would've ordered it too! 😋 Their Sunshine Blonde Craft beer was really good & my husband liked their Oktoberfest. The Bavarian Pretzel with beer cheese sauce was awesome as well. The waitstaff was a tad slow at times but all in all a pretty good couple of experiences for these Texans!

If you are looking for a simple, kind of “divey,” authentic NM beer business, Enchanted Circle Brewing will surely not disappoint. They have a good selection of craft beers and I’d say their food is good for bar food but don’t expect an exquisite meal or an amazing dish. This is a great place to have a little chat or group meet up.

If you want an angry bartender that hates her job. If you want someone sitting on a laptop that snarls that she has to stop to cook your food.... And hundreds of flys in the dining area. This is your place! At least the beer is lukewarm and mostly out of stock. But the burgers.. you can also buy these in a bag at the local grocery store. Green chili usually means spicy in NM. NOT HERE! Barely noticable. Read the other reviews and skip it. Unless you have a bulldozer business and want to do some charity work. Walk, ski, bike, run! At least the flys were on their game.
