Fantastic small town saloon with excellent food. Patrick has a great thing going here and it’s well worth the trip! Tomahawk pork chop and bison dog with elk chilli were both phenomenal. Excellent curated selection of craft beer, local liquor, and wine.

I want to speak bad of this place so it stays a secret, but I can’t. The staff is the absolute best. The most welcoming feeling as soon as you walk in. It is small with very limited seating, but even if you sat on your tailgate to enjoy a beer and burger is just as good.

Hidden gem! The food was outstanding! I ordered a green chili cheeseburger that had a delicious whole chili on top. My husband got the lamb burger and the raw cheese and toppings on his were so tasty too! The birds nest fries were crispy and clean, definitely tasted fresh and like they use clean oil in their fryers unlike so many burger joints. The atmosphere is very relaxed with lovely saloon decor. I only wish they were open more days so we could stop by again on our return trip home!

We drove 2.5 hours from Magdalena, NM to check out the sweet little town of Madrid and Cerrillos. We had read about Blackbird Saloon and how it was a husband and wife operation, similar to ours at our own diner. We loved their story and the concept and everything in the photos online looked very thoughtful, vintage, and old world. We ate there twice during our trip. Once for dinner, and once for brunch. For dinner we had the market pork chop, trumpet mushroom toast, and a takeaway cheese board. All delicious, simple, high quality ingredients. Great casual service, beautiful and cozy ambiance. Brunch was also great. Met the owner Patrick, front of house manager Suzanne, and the in house baker Leslie. All very lovely people. Will definitely be back and tell everyone about this place!

I had the finest steak salad and French 75 I’ll probably ever have in my life. The hostess was outstanding, service was prompt, prices were not jacked up. What a memorable meal in a super cool atmosphere.

A wonderful hole in the wall place to stop in anytime! Feel lucky to live closeby…our 3 rd time there and they never disappoint! Drinks from the bar was also excellent! Thank you Black Bird Saloon for making our dining experience pleasant! See you when you return after the winter break!

Service was very slow and I believe it was due to all the takeout orders that were ahead of us. There was very few people in the restaurant but it took about 40 minutes to receive our food. At about the 30-minute mark we inquired why it was taking so long and was told there was a lot of orders ahead of us. I generally don’t have a problem with that if we’re informed. Upon ordering if they would have said, it’s going to be a longer wait today, that would have given us an option to stay or go.
Food at this restaurant is very creative and very thoughtfully prepared but in my mind it wasn’t worth waiting 40 minutes. I don’t really care for the shoe string french fries … was unaware that they were shoestring before I ordered them.
The sliders were pretty good although I prefer my meat to be cooked all the way through and these were rare but at this point I wasn’t going to send them back because I was really hungry.
In general I would say the service needs to be improved a bit. I understand that take out orders are important for the support of the business but when you walk into the actual restaurant and you have to wait 40 minutes, it might be a good idea to expand the kitchen and or staff.
I got two sliders, a basket of fries to share, my friend got a pastrami sandwich and a small beer and the total came to $44 which I thought was a lot.
The menu expensive and appears the chef has put a lot of thought into creating the menu.

The quality of food is awesome. The food wasn’t hot, although we sat outside so I can’t blame! Service and atmosphere were great.

I had one of the best burgers ever. The burger was fresh, juicy, cooked to perfection. It tasted great. The French Fries were frigging awesome. Little shoestring fries that were crispband fried to perfection.
Service was great. Personal attention was appreciated.
