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

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

Had such a great time here- friendly staff and great drinks and food! It was the last day of work for our bartender and her boss was so nice to her and the rest of us. We were visiting from Central Coast attending National High School Rodeo/ State finals. Went to eat and drink twice here! read more

Great food... friendly service, HIGHLY recommend! We went for Taco Tuesday... soo good! The margaritas were amazing!

I was out at dinner this past week, and I had a rude server who kept leaving the floor unattended for long periods of time, who kept flirting with a another coworker right in front of tables. Very unprofessional. The food was okay tho, but the servers clearly need a training day, that customers come first. read more

Lives in red bluff for a few years, best food in town. Fun place with a great atmosphere. Will come back soon. read more

Palomino Room - American Near Me - Red Bluff, California

See all

Checked out the bar on a Friday late afternoon. Good beers on tap. Nice selection of TVs to watch the games but yelp has them closed on Sunday/Monday so no chance to watch Football I guess? The bartender was super nice-even when he got slammed with the after work crowd. We did order food. Fish and chips-Fail. The fish was so tiny-not cod-not sure what it was! The loaded baked potato with barbecue meat was the bomb! The green bean bundles were also tasty. read more

Great food had the bbq chicken and ribs plus a rib eye steak that was cooked perfectly. The downside was the service was poor due to one server for the whole place and she was very reserved but kind. Again another restaurant in red bluff that took forever to be served. read more

Went in for a shot of whiskey during RODEO weekend. The DJ was playing rap, yes, rap. The bartender served me what was probably 1/2 a shot of whiskey in a plastic thimble, and charged me $8. She was so busy chatting with another employee to really acknowledge my existence, except to take my money. So, OK, so ya got me once..... ONCE. read more

Will not be returning. I've been told at the bar that they "cannot make a Piña Colada" after asking on at least three separate occasions...oh-kay...this is not an uncommon request at a bar. Went in for dinner two weeks ago, it was 8:30, sat down in the center of the dining area -- to make it obvious that we had just walked in-- the waitress appeared at the table next to us and chatted with the people seated there who'd obviously already finished their meal, and didn't even acknowledge my husband and I. Finally, after sitting for over 5 minutes, my husband walked into the bar to find out if meals we're still being served -- running into the waitress there. He was told that she'd check and after sitting and waiting for at least 5 to 6 more minutes we left. read more

New ownership. Hhmmmmm 50+ min to get served third time in a row wasted time waiting for nothing. Not coming back.

I don't live in Red Bluff, but I like to stop in from time to time. I have eaten here 30+ times and have never had a bad meal. I read some of the low reviews on here and I don't think they have actually been here. Probably competing restaurants is all in can think. Their new Texas BBQ menu is as good as it gets. The brisket and the Texas dips are to die for. Now, it is a bar at night, so it does have a bar feel to it, but not so much that you wouldn't take your kids here. It reminds me of the decor you would see at an Applebees, but just not as generic. The servers are all super busy, but they're very nice. If you need something, just flag any do them down and they'll help you. If you're shy and want them to come back every 3 minutes to check on you, you might be disappointed. They're too busy for that. If you don't go for the food, you should at least check it out. It's got a lot of amazing architecture being that the building is one of the first buildings on Main Street. read more

Fun place to stop on our way through Red Bluff. Hubby ordered the new york steak w/garlic mushroom sauce and I fell into their garlic fries. The ambiance was awesome and surprisingly quiet. Waitress was great. Strong drinks at good prices! read more

Awful place don't have party there. I went for a christmas party this last weekend and the bartender working the event was slow and extremely rude. So the party moved downstairs. The two bartenders working down there were great. They guy bartender was very personable and knew what he was doing. The girl on the dance floor bar was also fast. I wouldn't recommend having your party there or if you do make sure you request a different bartender not the young looking girl. read more

We stopped here a Friday night on the way to Oregon. I think it's the only bar in red bluff.. That being said, Palomino is half night club, half mellow bar with country music haha. Maybe we were there on a dud night but it was odd. Decent cocktails though. read more

Terrific service and even better ribs. And the brisket was to die for. Highly recommended!

Great BBQ ribs. This is not a fast food joint. Expect to wait a little, it's well worth it.

Thank God part of the old menu is back!! Ribs are still fab! The service left much to be desired for a Friday night with few customers. I have faith things will get back to "normal" soon! read more

Excellent food and excellent service! We will be back for sure! I wish I could remember the name of the sandwhich I had, it was brisket bacon and onion rings on a perfectly toasted roll! It was probably the best sandwhich I've ever eaten! My husband had a steak sandwhich and it was cooked perfectly! read more

Ok people, listen up. This place has great tasting bbq but what really really stands out to me is their fried foods. Holy Moses, it's that good! Deep fried mac and cheese, yes please! Oh, just go and try all their yummy fried goodness. You won't be sorry! read more

Had a great dinner here for a birthday celebration. The wife and I both really enjoyed the prime rib while our other family members had the ribs and brisket. The waitress did a wonderful job of keeping drinks topped off and our food brought to us in a timely fashion. We stayed at a local rv park and will return here again the next time we pass through town! read more

Not what I'd call Texas BBQ but the food's good. Just moved here and didn't have a fridge for two weeks so we tried most places in Red Bluff. Most were mediocre or worse except this place and one of the Thai restaurants. Fries are fresh cut and cooked the way I love them. Had the garlic fries. Yummy. Fish was great too. Wife had pulled pork and it was very good. Good sauces and They'll give you a free beer on Fridays too. I'll be back. read more

Stopped here for dinner on our way to Portland, really just wanted something edible before hitting the hotel. What a pleasant surprise! My sandwich was great, my wife's salad was great, my kids chicken tenders looked so yummy and the best hand cut un-skinned fries I've had in a while. I just read some of the reviews about not being served. When we entered I had the impression things were quite casual and help yourself. We simply sat down and grabbed a waitress to order, no problem. This part of Main Street in Red Bluff is really charming by the way. Thank you Palomino! read more

First time going to eat here. Pleace was very nice and kid friendly. From the staff clear though the owner. The best ribs around fall off the bone. Fish and chip and the steak sandwich was great to. We will be coming back read more

Ok I must admit .... we where the worst guests we a party of 3 showed up 5 minutes before closing. Being recommend this restaurant by a friend. We walk in sit down and take forever to order. We finally order and have the most amazing food and amazing customer service even though we kept her late ... I had the shredded chicken mozzarella mushrooms and bell peppers with homemade and handcut fries and the even steamed the food so I didn't have the butter or oils and it made it so much better and I will definitely be back. From one of the party members. The waitress was amazing with her customer service read more

Thursday, August 1: I was staying in Red Bluff overnight before a day trip to Lassen Volcano National Park; had a very long drive to get there, but after we checked into our hotel we wanted to get into the historic downtown area of this little town. I'd seen the reviews of Palomino Room and we decided to try it for dinner. WOW!! Staci was our incredible waitress. Turns out she was also making drinks at the bar that night. I'm normally a red wine guy, but Staci pointed out the drink specials....a Long Island iced tea for only $5. What? Yes!! She also pointed out the dinner specials which included a "loaded" baked potato, which I got with brisket added. Holy moly! When it arrived, the split open potato almost covered the dinner plate. And what's that? Loads of bacon! Yes!! Generous cups of both butter and sour cream on the sides. This was one of those potatoes where the skin is so tender you can eat the whole thing, not just carving our the fluffy potato. The brisket was tasty and tender, but it was served in sort of a weird stringy kind of way. I ended up eating it separately, and would probably just get the regular potato next time. My husband ordered the "burnt ends" tri-tip. So tender, so mouth-watering, so lip-smacking good. There was just the right amount of fat-to-meat ratio, the bbq sauce was great, and the meat was tender & succulent. The dining room half was sparsely attended..but it was a Thursday, so I didn't think anything of it. The bar space next door was pretty busy with both drinkers and people who had ordered food there as well. The building itself is quaint and historic. The service was quick and very friendly. And what a bargain! Our whole tab...two dinners + two incredlble Long Island iced teas was only $31! Who knows if I'll ever find myself in Red Bluff again, but if I do....I will definitely stop again at Palomino Room. read more

It's been awhile since I've eaten here. Am I glad we tried it again! We went on Thursday evening, ordered the garlic fries and full rack of ribs. SO GOOD! The dinner salad was a lovely mixed green salad. Their BBQ sauce at the table is to die for; spicy, but not too much, with a wonderful balance of flavor. The ribs were cooked to perfection and the sauce on those was delicious. Garlic fries? Oh my. So good! On top of all that, the bartender made my cocktail to order, and perfect to my taste. What a lovely evening of food, and the atmosphere was very nice for visiting. I will be going back. So nice to have a good place in Red Bluff to eat. A place where they make the food they serve, and don't just open a can. read more

Huge portions. Coupled with the free chips and salsa, there's really no reason to order a lot of food here. Just eat what you really want to - which is probably just the ribs. They have 4 sauces to try. We also had the taco salad, but it was forgettable. The bacon-wrapped string bean bundles are pretty good! read more

Great service, and delicious food and a decent choice of craft beer on tap. I had the brisket sandwich and it rocked. My wife had some excellent burnt ends. The kids enjoyed ribs and a BLT. read more

My husband and I tend to jump in the car with the kids and drive until we find something new. We ended up about 45 min from home in Red Bluff at The Palomino Room. First let me say we really loved the decor. That's pretty much where the love stops. 3 out of 5 of us did not get what was ordered and Do Not order the stuffed baked potato and salad! Even tho it is right there on the menu they tried to charge us separately for the salad and up charge for the brisket on top of the potato. Our waitress was no where to be seen by this time and the poor girl who was trying to help us had only been there for 3 days. We will not be returning. read more

Yes please... Yum yum.. Great specials. Fun people that work there.

Opened for Lunch. stopped by on our way through town and glad we found it. The bar partnered with a Texas BBQ team where they do all their own smoking. read more

New and improved menu! So many yummy choices, but my favorite is the fish tacos or the salmon. Plus the bacon-wrapped green beans are great too! read more

I've been here 3-4 times since they re-opened with the Texas BBQ food and I love it! The brisket is my favorite, but just had the salad with pulled chicken and it was delicious. Only complaint was that it was too big! Love their daily specials on Facebook (free kids meal, complimentary drink with meal, etc...). Great place to take the family (my boys 10 & 13 love it...have plans to bring my parents here, too!). If you're in Red Bluff or just traveling through it would be a great place to stop for a meal. read more

So first off.. best bar/restaurant in red bluff hands down. Jamie was my waitress, Molly served me at the bar and they were equally phenomenal. I'm from out of town and didn't expect the charm of this establishment in this rinky-dink town, but was pleasantly surprised. Both were well informed, drinks and food were amazinggggg... (I got the brisket tacos) plus your 2nd drink is a penny with order of food. Who doesn't like that? Wish there was one of these in SoCal :( 5 stars! read more

Ate here for lunch last week and it was so good. I had the cheesesteak sandwich that they make with the brisket. It was so tender and delicious. I had the green bean bundles for a side and they were very tasty also. I will definitely be back soon. read more

We are the Widows of Red Bluff and we had dinner at this place on Thursday and it was great...the service and food very good...we had 16 people in our group to attend and they all liked the food.... the bar is owned by another owner and you can order a drink but the price of drink has nothing to do with the Palomino Room Texas BBQ. We plan to go back again in two weeks....if large group good to make reservations... read more

Since their remodel and infusion of new life by partnering with Eric's Texas BBQ, this is one of my new favorite lunch spots! Their smoked meats are so scrumptious they don't even need BBQ sauce! The homemade sides are wonderful and their green bean bundles (bacon wrapped grean beans) are to die for!!! My husband and I are now loyal and frequent customers! read more

Been here a few times for food, the prime rib is very good & priced reasonably. I'm a BBQ snob & I liked their ribs, chicken & brisket. Also try the bacon wrapped green beans, they're awesome. read more

Best Wings ever. Caribbean sauce was awesome. Sweet with just the right heat. Great prices. Good drinks.
