Red River Steakhouse

My first time here coincided with Saturday Prime Rib Special Night and it did not disappoint. The food was great and the complimentary cobbler was a great way to end a fantastic meal. Returned on 10.12.2024 and got served by Joanie. The Chicken Fried Steak she recommended was AWESOME!!

@conniesreviews Place was recommended for their chicken fried steak. The food overall was just OK for me. Except for our initial encounter, I would say the service we received was very good. Our waiter was very sweet and friendly. She took great care of us. When we first arrived there was no one at the hostess desk and we waited for a while. We almost decided to leave and go someplace else because it was taking them so long to seat us. It was a Sat night, but after the dinner rush so it wasn't busy. There were only a few other people eating. Someone walked by and said someone will be right with you while we were waiting. It was still another while before someone finally showed up to seat us. The decor is super TX and very cute. My son loved the feel of the restaurant. I really appreciated the live music, it was great. The bandana touch for table napkins & large Mason jars for drinks is cute. On the food side of things, the fried pickles and cheese fries were good, the salad was fresh and I enjoyed the hominy green chili side, very yummy. I read reviews of the pickles being too salty, but we didn't have that experience. Also, I mean, they're pickles, so um, yeah, they're salty, kinda a given. My son enjoyed his patty melt and my husband said his steak was good but a bit more on the well-done side instead of medium. We all got our food, but my son's fried pork chops didn't come out until a bit later in the meal. Our waitress told us "sorry, we have a new cook and he doesn't listen." 🤔 ummm ok. I had the chicken fried steak, it was cooked well but flavorless. It was very easy to taste that the flour batter just wasn't seasoned. There is salt and pepper at the table, but it had zero flavor alone. A flavorless piece of meat fried in flavorless batter. My daughters chicken tenders and my sons pork chops also tasted like they were fried in the same batter and therefore also flavorless. Neither one finished their meal since it tasted like nothing. The baked potato was delicious. The cobbler was also yummy. My potato salad was very sweet so I didn't eat it. Personal preference, I don't like sweet potato salad, but someone else might. As mentioned, all of the fried items were cooked well, the meat inside was tender and the fry on it was nice and crispy, but since it tasted like nothing, it just wasn't palatable for us. The gravy was just ok, I've had better. Everyone liked the fries and loved the onion rings. Also, a storm blew through while we were there and water started dripping from the roof onto the table next to ours and started splashing on my daughter. They might want to look into getting that fixed. It was at the end of our meal and had just finished paying our check so we didn't ask to be moved. Overall, we probably won't be back and we wouldn't highly recommend it, it was just ok. If you're just going for bar drinks and to listen to some live music, this is a good spot.

Very good steak and wonderful sides. The green beans were perfectly seasoned and so was the coleslaw. Good tasting loaf of bread with cinnamon butter to go with a tender,juicy ribeye. Very tasty bacon wrapped jalapeños too!

This place was referred to me by my rv camp host. I'm so glad he did. I had a great Old Fashioned. The food was amazing. My steak was cooked to perfection. The cobbler was soo good. My waitress was great and attentive.

I decided to treat myself with a delicious steak for my birthday, as I was spending the day by myself. The bartender, Jennifer, recognized it was my special occasion and went above and beyond by making a special request just for me. To my delight, three amazing individuals appeared, singing a lovely birthday song! Despite having a challenging day, Jennifer's caring gesture completely transformed my experience and made it infinitely better. I truly appreciate Jennifer for her remarkable qualities—her passion, genuine care for others, and unwavering integrity. Thank you, Jennifer, for making my birthday memorable!

I made a pick up order at 6, I was told it would be 10-15 minutes. Just in case, I came at 6:30 to pick up. I waited for 30 minutes for just a grilled chicken salad. I love the food here, but never again. 45 minutes over the time yall told me it would be ready?? Absolutely ridiculous.

The food here is exceptional! It feels like you’re eating mom’s fantastic meals! I love it! That being said, I have yet to get exactly what I ordered which makes me sad, not mad or irritated just disappointed because this restaurant has the potential to be one of Amarillo’s best. Ive ordered the same order half a dozen times and not once has it been exactly what I ordered. I keep ordering here because the chopped steak and mashed potatoes they always get correct and it’s delicious. Everything else….is up in the air. You won’t get your salad this time. Most of the time you won’t get the toppings on your chopped steak. Even add on’s you pay for, like sausage 50/50 chance of getting it. I look forward to coming in to dine someday soon. I think it’s likely the orders are more correct in person? It’s definitely worth a try in my book….even if you don’t get what you order, it’s probably going to be outstanding!

I've eaten here before & it's a winner for sure! Today I placed a to go order, which was ready pretty quickly. The host was a young Hispanic kid, super nice & helpful & greeted me instantly. The atmosphere was super homey & nice, they still had Christmas decorations up and it was gorgeous. I ordered the catfish plate with the 3 shrimp & ocra as a side. The fish is amazing and it always is. I highly recommend. The shrimp are so huge and we're equally yummy. Sadly the ocra was a bit oil logged and didn't seem fresh, as there was no crisp to it. My salad also seemed like it had been prepared earlier in the day because the croutons were not crunchy and definitely not edible. Love this place, I've had the chicken fried steak from here as well and it's one of the best ones in town in my opinion. Will definitely continue to visit, next time I'll just make sure I get everything made fresh. Spent a little over 20 bucks and it was worth it, for the most part. Thanks red river.
