It's bittersweet because we LOvE the food now that Ramones grill is there but the bar sucks! Jay the bartender is great but the bar fly women they have working there suck. They spend more time taking shots than they do serving customers. Anytime you go up for a drink, it's like your are putting them out. Save your money. Go elsewhere. read more

I wish I didnt have to give any stars. We arrived before 7 we were sat in the bar with our 3 children. About 30 min later after orde. quarter to 8 the owner came up and said he couldn't tell us when food would be ready. We waited kids got restless we decided we were gonna leave, they came out and said food was ready. Ok, 5 min food came order was wrong just gonna eat it anyway. I told waitress it's fine there is no steak in steak sandwich. Power came up and very rudely said what wrong now. Then threw us out. Not even Gordon Ramsey could save this guy. Never ever had such an experience by an owner of any restaurant. If you can handle a large party and regular dinner service without accosting other dinner. Close up. Carlos the owner needs to find another line of work. read more

It was terrible. We aren't from the area and found it on yelp. We went in side and sat at a table, and we waited, and waited but no one approached us, and apparently the bartender is isolated to the back of the bar to visit with the five locals read more

This place is not a family restaurant. It's a bar. We walked in, asked the server behind the bar if we could eat. She said yes, we sat down at a table and waited...and waited...and waited. There were 2 gentlemen sitting at the bar plus the 2 of us. She never brought menus or water or even spoke to us. After 10 minutes, we walked out. read more

I wanted a place that had a good steak, a place I could take the kids, seat 7 of us, and one that had a bar. We were celebrating my son's Chico graduation. 3 adults. 4 kids ranging from 10 yrs to 19 yrs. The Palomino Room delivered. The steak was cooked to perfection. The Texas burgers were devoured. The tri-tip was tasty and the brisket was bountiful and tender. Appetizers, the bomb. Everyone liked the green bean bundles too. Shots of Patron were enjoyed and the margaritas yummy. Best of all was the attention given by our server and bar tender. I felt very pampered and our party was well attended. I can't say enough about how much I appreciated the service. The place is unpretentious and comfortable. Don't expect tuxes and Dior gowns. Shorts and jeans rule. Go and have an enjoyable meal. After 9, the music and dancing starts. read more

One word...hospitality! This place, not what you'd expect and that's exactly how we like it. The folks working here are ONE OF A KIND. My seat wasn't even warm before we were feeling like 'Norm from Cheers'! Jay, the bartender, made it feel like we were just hanging out with a friend and the food?!? AMAZEBALLS! No seriously, get the AMAZEBALLS off the menu, they're amazing. Next time we're in Red Bluff, you'll find us here. read more

I went here twice in one weekend. Once for dinner and the next time for the bar. They have fantastic Moscow mules and a friendly bartender. If you are eating in the restaurant, be careful about ordering the burnt ends. They are basically cubes of fat with sauce and there seems to be a 3:1 fat to meat ratio. The ribs are a much better bet and I highly recommend the wedge salad. read more

Great food, great service, trying to work Trough this Covid Drama, is not easy for anyone, but Carlos Zapata ( new owner ) a Marine Vet of Iraq war is used to hard fights & his determination to survive in any situation shines through in his efforts to survive & provide a service the community needs during these ruff times. I support this establishment 100%. read more

Stopped by here on our way up to Oregon. We really wanted BBQ so we were excited to try it out. While waiting to be greeted we learned that it was vet owned and thought how great we get to support a small business that's vet owned especially after the rough year businesses have had. After waiting about 30 min to be seated we were told our server would be with us. About 20 min passed by and I finally asked who our server was and was told she didn't know but could find out. We waited some more and heard nothing. After seeing other guest that were sat after us start putting in orders I asked again and was told the manager would be right out. When the manager came out he was very rude almost as if we were being a bother asking for a server. I explained we had been waiting for a long time and no one has even taken out drink order he replied with "ok what do you want?" Idk how this person runs a restaurant but that's not how you speak to guest. After we told him our order I saw him by a POS register talking to another server and we felt like we were being talked about so we got up and left. This establishment has a lot of potential if the customer service was better and the management wasn't rude and walked around like everyone is a bother or inconvenience. We ended up going to a Mexican restaurant down the street instead. So if you're looking for a place to eat while passing by Red Bluff don't waste your time coming here. read more

If you aren't sure if you want to go to a dinner house, or a bar for some food, a beer and a sports game...don't worry. You can have either or both here. For a brief time, the service and food was not consistent but, the owner made some lasting changes for the better that have made huge fans out of me and my family. This is our go to place on a Friday night after work, where we can all get together, see a game on one of several TV's, order good food and most important to me, get good service. Jamison is a character and our favorite server/bartender. Always has a smile and always does his best to attend to his customers even if he is slammed. The food is decently priced and consistently good with good flavors. The drinks are good and the atmosphere is good as well. There's a pool table, a juke box, a bar with several large screen TV's and just about anything else you could want. I highly recommend giving them a chance to make a fan out of you. read more

Love taco Tuesday...My wife told me she had brisket tacos and loved them.......so went back there with her,,,,,,not only tacos, but great BBQ...I had the Taco Tuesday brisket tacos and 3 BBQ ribs........excellent!! I will be back on a regular basis every time I pass through Red Bluff needed north or south on I-5..... easy to find off the freeway!! read more

Was prepped to spend a lot of money with friends tonight... then they tried to charge me a $10 cover to come inside. Sorry... I'll spend 10x more than the majority of people coming in, but not if you want to rip me off by making me pay for the privilege of drinking at a second rate bar. I'd rather drink at home than pay to enter any bar... let alone a dive like The PR. read more

First off, this business is completely ignoring guidelines. No masks, no social distancing. Heard the owner arguing and yelling at customers. Decided to takeout instead of dining in due to the atmosphere and food was terrible. This is not Tex Mex, its garbage. read more

I brought my mother to this establishment for dinner one night. My expectations were bar food. Boy was I wrong. I ordered a steak and veggies with a salad due to my diet. The steak was cooked perfectly and the veggies had so much flavor. Most people may see this establishment as only a bar. This place has definitely made a come back in a positive way. The customer service was amazing. We were even greeted by the manager/owner who introduced himself. This place is for all ages during dinner hours. Highly recommend. read more

My office try's to make it a weekly tradition to do taco Tuesday here for lunch. Brisket tacos with garlic fries is my choice. The lunch service is fantastic, short wait times and consistent quality, portion sizes etc. read more

I just wanted to thank the security for being so awesome last night! Got through the long after rodeo entrance line without any mess and super fast! Specifically Dave was a huge help to my gf and I. I wasn't sure if there was re-entry so I went down to ask and he had said no at first so I went back in without complaining but later on he let me know he had only told me that bc of an unsafe situation with a guy standing outside, he didn't want me to walk out alone. Which is so awesome!!!! He also helped bandage up my friend when she had taken a fall. Like went wayyyy out of the way. He was super kind and I watched him take care of everything in a super professional manner (I've worked in a few night clubs before so it was refreshing.) girls can definitely feel safe here! The bartenders were also super fast and friendly. Overall great place for a Saturday night.. wish I lived closer read more

Stopped in on our way back south. Friendly service, nice crowd. Gaming fishing and wildlife channels played on the 4 TVs. How nice it is to have a respite from the fear mongering of 2020! People didnt wear masks and those that arrived with masks took them off upon entrance. It is a blessing to find a place where you feel welcome to breath freely. The crowd seemed interested in chatting and getting to know you. Its been months since i last spoke to a stranger! So i am grateful for that. A very relaxing time. All socializing aside, the food was on point. We ordered two different burgers and they were both made fresh to order and the fries were golden brown. Very tasty We gobbled it all up and went on our way. Thanks Palomino Room. We live hours away but we plan on coming back. read more

Clearly a long time main street resident, I couldn't pass up the Palomino Room for dinner as I was passing through Red Bluff. Ample parking in back and a clearly marked entrance, entering the PR is simple. Not sure what to expect, the room was part bar and part restaurant. I can see how it could go either way very easily. This night however, was definitely restaurant. I was greeted by a super cool guy and seated next to the open window looking onto Main Street. I was served a fantastic Top Shelf Margarita by the same gentlemen, Jay and greeted by Bre. I chose the NY Strip special with salad and mashed potatoes. The salad crisp and fresh and oh the steak! It was fantastic. Cooked exactly to order and seasoned very well! It was a wonderful dinner and enjoyable time. Kiss to the cook! read more

Best food ever. Even better because this restaurant is Veteran owned and operated . Support your local small businesses! Especially ones like this; the ones who go out of their way to make sure the food, service and overall experience exceeds expectations. read more

Came in after a Covid disaster and they have overcome the rough times with lost business. Service From Cathy was solid and the food that Ramon prepared was cooked perfectly and produce was fresh. Burgers, BBQ, Tacos, etc are offered and delicious. read more

Whatever you do, DON't have them cater for you! Frozen breaded shrimp when the host had requested shrimp scampi! How about meatballs for starters that you eat with your fingers as they do not provide silverware or toothpicks? Or yummy roast beef served with stale hot dog buns? Do not waste your hard earned money here! read more

NOPE. Stopped in to grab a bite while on our way to San Francisco. Not greeted, not offered water, not offered menus, not really even acknowledged despite sitting down at the bar for over 10 minutes. Person next to us ordered a wine spritzer and the barkeep had to ask what it was and how to make it. We could only be left to believe the rest of the experience would shine as dimly. Needless to say, we headed out right away. read more

Such a neat bar and restaurant! I had a yummy chicken sandwich with a fresh delicious house salad but my favorite were these appetizers called Amaze Balls! Mac and cheese balks with jalapeño & bacon. So yummy!!! The service was attentive and made sure our drinks stayed full. read more

We had dinner On Friday Night with another couple. We started at the bar where our very friendly Bartender (Alisha) made us some great Moscow Mules! She went and reserved us a nice table in dining room, up front by the windows, Nice little alcove to ourselves. We had Two Prime Ribs, 1- Ribeye and 1- Sirloin. All meals were excellent! The meats were all fixed and cooked to our order. My wife finished her sirloin, but the rest had extra meat to take home. The salads all came at same time and they were fresh and well displayed. The steamed veggies were excellent and very fresh and Baked potatoes were hot to the middle. Our waitress (Kristina) was by all the time making sure we were taken care of. We even added a bottle of OZV wine From Lodi to have with our meals. We will be planning our Friday or Saturday night out, there every time. read more

If you are here to eat, be prepared to wait. The Palomino room is one of those places where half empty is busy. You'd think they would be ready to serve people on "taco Tuesday." I mean, how long could it take to get out your tongs and put meat into corn tortillas? (The answer: at least half an hour.) I got two brisket tacos, they tasted great. I mean that was some damn good brisket but those were two of the whitest tacos I have ever eaten. You could find more authentic tacos in Canada. The basket of chips had a sugar and salt mixture, very weird but the pig I am couldn't stop eating them. read more

Great local business! So important to support small business always but especially at this time! I highly recommend giving the palomino room a visit! read more

What a great time. It got busy but one of the guys that works there was off and jumped behind the bar and helped with everything. The guy was literally a godsend. Its people like him that make bars work and give people hope read more

Just ate at Eric's Texas BBQ at the Palomino Room and I left with a full belly and a big smile. Eric came out and talked to us about his move to Red Bluff and why he set up Eric's Texas BBQ. Great guy, down to Earth. Do owners ever come out and meet their customers anymore? Nice personal touch to have this happen. I started out with the Green Bean Bundles, green beans wrapped in bacon. I have no idea why other restaurants aren't doing this. They tricked me into eating green beans and I almost NEVER eat veggies. Everything is bigger in Texas, right? It is big here at Eric's. We ordered the Brady Bunch Meal which consisted of ribs, brisket, chicken, beans, hand cut fries, coleslaw, and jalapeno corn bread. Everything was cooked to perfection. I'm not a fan of chicken, but this chicken was great...nice pink smoke ring, not over cooked/smoked. The ribs fell off the bone. The brisket had some nice bark. Eric's Texas BBQ is BBQ done right. read more

I have never eaten "dinner" in the Palomino room. I've been around here 30 years. It has always been a bar to me. Not Now, I absolutely love it. The food is amazing. The crowd is ALL ages. It is fabulous. Very excited to have the new owners and their menu. read more

Excellent food and friendly people! Highly recommend. They dont over charge and my BLT had more bacon than I've ever had at a restaurant. If you love brisket this place is for you. read more

Great food everytime I go, which is a lot! taco tuesday is amazing and the staff is always catering to my vegetarian lifestyle! they make the best veggie tacos (not on the menu!) for me! I look forward to tuesday's just to get them! And then.... I do it all over again on thursday's with the special stuffed baked potato day! Thank you to the owner Adam for caring about your customers and having the best staff around.....I highly recommend! read more

Tonight was our 30 year anniversary. My folks wanted to bring us dinner from the restaurant of our choice. It's been over 20 years but I thought let's try the Palomino Room. When my folks came in our house with their hands full of food they both immediately started to tell us how incredibly pleasant the people were who worked there. We dug into the ribs, tamales, beans, coleslaw, mac n cheese, burnt ends and bread. Absolutely outstanding! Everything was exceptional. I want to thank you Palomino Room for making our anniversary dinner with my parents such a wonderful evening. The effort and care you put into your food does not go unnoticed. To sit around our dining room table talking of memories while enjoying the best of food was just another wonderful memory. I look forward to making more memories around your tables. read more

Just a great dinner. My sirloin steak was perfectly cooked and awesome!! I loved my dinner. Our server, Holly, was delightful and provided great service. $5 for a solid Cabernet! Unbelievable! Will be back next time I'm in town!! read more

The best fish tacos in town with a great selection of beer! Not the old Palamimo Room any longer.

Great BBQ! They give you plenty of food for almost nothing. We ate for 22.70( not including tip though), we even had an appetizer plus the chips and pico de gallo. We had the ribs and sweet potato fries. Since they start smoking at 6am, our ribs fell off the bone! Yum yum, I hope they stick around for a long time :) read more

The wait staff here were excellent and catered to whatever we needed. Our waitress, Gabby, was attentive and incredibly diligent in meeting our requests. The food was delicious and if given the option I would definitely recommend this establishment. read more

I have eaten at the Palomino Room four or five times since they opened up the Texas BBQ. It is delicious. I'm stuck on the Tex Mex Tacos. They are made with chicken or brisket. The beef brisket is my favorite. You won't go away hungry. The staff is friendly and do a good job making sure you are attended to during your meal. They serve lunch and dinner, but it is the same menu. If you are traveling though Red Bluff, make the Texas BBQ at the Palomino Room your meal stop. read more

Great little gem in town. Had our holiday party there - food was delicious, bar service was great, and Adam and his staff were accommodating, friendly, and FANTASTIC! read more

I refuse to give them any stars. Worse meal of my life. The waitress ignored us for 10 minutes while she flirted with some men. The tri tip sandwich was cold and dry, maybe 20 bits and pieces of fries. If you wanted bar-b-que you had to add the sauce yourself. Very little food for the high price. It took over an hour for our food to be delivered to our table and the place was almost empty so no excuse for being busy. Not worth the money or time. (had to put a star to send review) read more
