This review is for this specific visit. Typically we enjoy this restaurant. Tonight, after waiting over 30 minutes for our food, (having been seated 45 minutes, and tables around us that sat down after us were finishing up) we told the server that we would need our food to go, we were out of time. He replied "ok" About 5-10 minutes later the manager showed up with our food packed to go and said "That took awhile." Then said it would still be good reheated. We asked for the check, and while paying, our server finally said, "I'm sorry about that." Super poor and slow service. The worst part though was that no one even wanted to acknowledge that something went wrong. Just say you're sorry. read more

I will never come back to this place. We came in about 6:15 tonight and had to wait about 5 minutes before being seated. No big deal since they were pretty busy. Our servers name was Bella and she was wonderful. She was running everywhere taking care of her tables and check up on us multiple times during our visit. We ordered two unsweet teas and got the cheese fries and fried pickles. Soon after we ordered our food and other tables were seated and started receiving their food. 30 minutes later and we were still waiting on our appetizers. Finally we received those and the fried pickles were completely cold and the fries were barely luke warm. We snacked alittle bit and then sat them aside because they were cold and we wanted to wait for our food. Another 30 minutes passed and we never received our food but the tables seated after us had been served. We ended up telling our waitress that we just wanted our ticket. They tried to bring our food out and we just told them no that we asked for our ticket because we've been sitting here and had already told our waitress. Our waitress comes back over almost in tears and told us not to worry about our ticket and that her manager had threatened her job whenever she told her what had happened. I handed the waitress a tip because she did wonderful and I felt so bad for her. This so called manager is an older lady with shorter gray hair and she decided to come over to our table as we were talking to our waitress and say a rude ass comment and said we were completely refunded and told us to have a nice night and tossed a recept at my boyfriend. We never got our ticket so my boyfriend and I never paid for anything, so i have no idea who she refunded but it was not us. We will never be back after this awful night and I hope the server gets a new job with a manager who actually cares about her employees. read more

This first review I left a few years ago was 4 stars. I hadn't gone back until recently. I felt the need to update my review. The last two times we went were fantastic. The cheese fries that we got as an appetizer were really good. I never liked catfish until I tried it here. I had a few bites from my kids plate and ended up eating it all. I traded him half of my chicken fried steak, which was really good. I recommend you take them up on the free dessert. The apple cobbler is awesome. The only bad thing that happened was when I tried to open the bbq sauce and it literally exploded on me. All over my clothes. All over the table. The waitress said it probably fermented, but that's where she left it. I didn't throw a fit because it's not like it was anyone's fault. I would suggest they check the sauces on the tables everyday. read more

Great steaks and the most amazing bar-tender in town, Josh. In fact we visit this place again and again because he gives the best service in town. We have recommended this place over and over because his service is above any other place in town. Many people come in to Red River because of him. Unfortunately, the manger, Vanessa has treated us rudely, ignored us, etc.... Because of her, it has left us pause. We saw her yell at staff, undeservedly, literally look at us and roll her eyes and walk on when we attempted to speak with her, and much more. If Josh is there, we will try to overlook how she treats her customers. But if there is ever a time he has gone; we and all those we've ever recommended this place to will NEVER go back. Thank you, Josh for tirelessly serving us. Vanessa, you need to watch how you treat your customers and staff--or there won't be any. read more

Great service from a friendly and professional server. The food was amazing! The ambiance perfect! I love the colorful fire up front. The free cobbler just topped off the most wonderful evening! read more

Should have taken the hint when we waited to be seated for several minutes. Btw we were the ONLY ones standing there. We get seated and wait more, order drinks and wait and wait, finally get to order and the salads were old , I didn't know that they cut ribeyes 1/2 think but I guess this place does. The baked potato was 1/2 done..... just wouldn't waste your money here!!! read more

Anyone who says the best chicken fried steak in Amarillo is anywhere other than Red River Steakhouse, has not had their chicken fried steak. I have had chicken fried steak at all of those other popular places at least twice because I always consider some place may just be having a bad day. Trust me, no other place in the Amarillo area even comes close to Red River's chicken fried steak. But don't take my word, try for yourself and you'll agree the others aren't even a close 2nd to Red River. read more

Got here at 5:30pm to avoid the crowd rush. Restaurant wasn't too busy. Maybe 8 tables, but the staff was so stressed out like it was at max capacity. Even though we barely saw our server, and she didn't bring our drinks for 20 minutes, she was very very nice, made sure we had what we needed, and also made sure that it was all correct. Ugh but that dinner service took soooooo long. Another issue: the table across from us was completely forgotten about after they were seated. They complained, were rude, and we got to be in ear shot of their sour attitudes while we were trying to have a good time for Fathers Day. What I did enjoy was this: the food. the food was really good! Delicious, large portions of fried catfish and hush puppies were delivered to me and I really enjoyed every bite. Another perk was the live band. They were very friendly and were the best part of the whole experience. They gave my toddler stickers, a toy, and they let him "play" with the band by giving him an egg shaker for an entire song. He absolutely loved that. I would come back to this place but the length of time to get drinks or food was just way too long. read more

This was first time to go here. We had hope that it would be good ....but The server didn't let us know that the pork chop didn't have to have glaze. He did ask if could have gravy but it didn't happen . My meal sirloin steak looked good but it wasn't cooked as I asked but I decided just to eat and take home to finish cooking. The salad n potato were fine . Don't think we will return. Also did mention these issues but nothing was offered to fix it. read more

If we hadn't returned the 2nd night they'd have 5 stars. Our first visit steaks and chicken were cooked to perfection. Service was great too. We saw they served prime rib on Friday and Saturday nights so we went back on Friday. Arrived around 6:00 and was seated promptly. Got our drinks and appetizers. The biggest hit were the rattle snake eggs - jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with bacon. EXCELLENT! I think 9 of the 10 of us ordered the prime rib. Oops - right after our ordered we heard they had run out of prime rib - but not to worry they had enough to fill our orders. Yup they did - I don't think anyone ordered well done but that is what each of us were served. If you're going to offer a special at least ensure you have enough to run through the rush. We believe we were served the end of the roast - done done done. If we had shown up at 8:00 and 9 people ordered prime rib you might expect this - but at 6:00? They comped one couple's entire meal, less the alcohol. The rest of us got maybe 10%. Guess that's better than nothing!!! read more

The food was great!! Joshua Young our server was great too. The Fried Catfish meal was yummy!!! read more

Free Birthday dinner? I don't think so. I went there with a group of friends and family for my 50th birthday and was denied a comp on my birthday dinner despite the fact that I: A) showed my drivers license B) signed up for there rewards scam prior to showing up and C) made a reservation. I still dropped a C note and a 20% tip. Free bday dinner MY ASS. I was told I needed some Facebook coupon. Complete scam. read more

Got dinner to go Saturday night, not a lot good to say, French fries were over cooked, burnt and old. I would be embarrassed to send those out.. my order had cheese on it , I asked twice no cheese. Wife's meal same fries way over done and past time to be chunked. While waiting longer than expected was told they were waiting on cobbler to come out of oven? I told the guy twice on phone no cobbler needed.front door kid seemed way overwhelmed and there didn't seem to be any adults in charge. It was a busy night get some adult people in your restaurant that will run it like it's there's same for your kitchen. Quit sending out food like we got last night!!. I must say Red River wins on side salads, salad and real fries were the two reasons we went. So I guess 1/2 the dinner was a hit! read more

We were on the road from the Woodlands all day and we came across this hidden gem for dinner. They start you off with bread and cinnamon sugar butter. We were not disappointed with any of the food. The steaks were perfect, and the green chile hominy and fried okra sides were delicious; chicken Caesar salad was delicious, and the complimentary cobbler at the end of the meal was the perfect ending (we had the cherry). read more

Ordered a steak salad and rice through Postmates and boy were we impressed! It was the most tender, delicious steak on top of a well topped salad, and they added an unexpected cobbler on the house that was absolutely divine!! read more

Waited 40 mins to get seated only to find out we weren't on the list. Even though we were right beside the desk. The woman who made the mistake brought us bread in a hurry didn't even apologize Salads came after the food, which took even longer to get out $100 and 1 1/2 hours I'll never get back. Mediocrity can not be a business model. read more

We totallly rock!!!!!!! The food and atmosphere is amazing vreat place to have a party and drinks read more

Wow...epically bad service even for the usual bad service around here! Waited over an hour for food to come out that had obviously been sitting for quite some time (gravy was congealed and cold), in addition to part of the order being incorrect, asked for ketchup which they never brought, and all they could say was, "sorry we were working on a table of 18 that was before this one." They brought the corrected items on the order after we had been done eating for at least 15 minutes, and then acted semi put out that we didn't want them. Nice...not really. For the cost the food and service should be spot on. We won't be back. Wouldn't recommend it unless you just want to visit and not eat. read more

Great chicken fried steak, great grilled chicken. Delicious bacon wrapped jalapeños. Salad could use some improvement. rice was good but a little on the salty side. will definitely come back. read more

Omg!!!! This is such a juicy chicken!! You gotta try the blueberry vinegrette on ur salad! Wow! The bread is slightly sweet n the cinnamon butter spread is awesome!! We had such a nice Valentine's Day here. Thanks Today: 9/18 I ordered the special. Folks... please don't order the special... however after explaining what was wrong.. the staff didn't seem interested in looking or talking to me. So the other part of the meal: hubby: he ordered the chicken fried steak. Let me tell you. It was huge! He ate all of ur. Brown gravy was wonderful n the green beans had good flavor. But a bit too soft. I sure hope their business picks up! 2 1/2 stars today. Sorry folks. read more

Food bland and expensive not worth the price. Appetizers good, Margarita to sweet like mix no tequila. Don't recommend at all we won't go back. Free cobbler was best part of our meal read more

We had been here about a month ago and had a great dining experience and great food. We visited again.... this time was horrible! We sat at a table for literally 10 minutes with no server! When she finally came she offered no bread...I had ask for more water. Steak was paper thin and tasted as if it were fried in a pan! We had coupon for free app and she still charged us. We got our peach cobbler to go.... when we got home and opened it... it was one peach with little crust! We defiantly didn't get what we paid for. We will stick with Big Texan next time for our steak dinner next time. read more

We ate dinner on a Saturday evening at the red river steakhouse. Service was good. Food was great. The steak was cooked to my satisfaction. The beer selection was limited. I highly recommend the rattlesnake eggs. The decor was modern and rustic. read more

We come to Amarillo several times a year. Used to go to the steak houses on I40 til a local told us about Red River We do not go any place else! Great service, food and awesome bar. We love the ribeye. Have never had a problem there. Best steak I. Amarillo!! read more

Since this is the first time, I'll give 4 stars. I need to come back and try other things. The steak was tender and juicy. Charred on the outside just a bit... that's how I like it. I also ate the barley steak soup and it was very good! We will be back! read more

Worst place ever!!! We made reservations and when we arrived the host said wait till I seat everyone else and I'll take care of you. We're understaffed... well after waiting an hour we left... Seriously??? read more

While visiting from CA, my sister took us to this steak house. Our server, April, did a fine job making certain that everything was as we ordered. The filet & rib eyes were cooked to medium rare perfection. The atmosphere was casual and had the look you would expect of a Texas steakhouse serving steaks with an excellent flavor. Also, we happened to eat on a night when we were served free peach cobbler. You won't be disappointed @ the Red River Steak House. read more

Came in near the end of business hours with group of seven, they welcomed us in and were no rush. Awesome staff, very helpful! Cowboy Ribeye had great flavor, cooked perfectly to order, green beans and sweet potato were perfect compliments! Paired it with a local brew, Amarillo Sunrise Kolsch, delightful! My whole group was completely satisfied! Just passing through, but if I find myself in town again, this is where I'm eating! read more

Red River Steakhouse - Awesome place - Steakhouses Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Every time I eat there, It's always delish! My friends all love the chicken fry steak. I love the grilled chicken, salads and sandwiches. Have had slow service a couple of times, but still nothing I haven't seen anywhere else. Save room for the complimentary cobbler. One of these days I'm going in there and just getting a "bucket o' cobbler!" LOL read more

I had high hopes when I got to this restaurant, but was soon to be very disappointed. To start, I waited at my table for 5 minutes while waiters walked past me, never to stop and take my order. Once I finally placed my drink order it took another 10 minutes to receive my single glass of wine. At this point, I still had not had my dinner order taken, 15 minutes into it. When I finally got my food, it was not what I ordered at all. I kept the food as I did not want to wait for them to fix it, but they did not offer so much as an apology for the error, much less a discount or perhaps a free refill on my wine. I would have been happy with just about anything. Probably a pretty safe bet I will not be coming back here. read more

First, the steak (I got a ribeye) was quite flavorful. Appetizer (rattlesnake eggs, aka jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon) was nicely prepared. Wedge salad was swimming in dressing and nothing special. Next, the service was rushed. App and salad came out at the same time. I was not done with either when the steak arrived. Waitress was willing to take it back and keep it warm. But just situationally unaware of pacing a meal. Finally, ambience wasn't perfect. Spent most of my meal staring at two tables with dirty dishes and food on them. The bus person must have been sick. Also, staring at artwork of a cowboy praying to a cross was somewhat annoying. Not everyone is of the same religion and wants to have religion imposed on them while dining. Might be back because the steak was good...or maybe not. I had high hopes for this place based on word of mouth from a long time local resident. read more

We tried to go here for dinner tonight. We've been in the past and it was always really good. Our waiter was nice. We ordered the fried zucchini and when it came out it was burnt. Which ok we could've gotten over but on top of that it was soggy and literally wet. We pushed it to the front of the table. The waiter did question how it was and we told him and he offered to get us something else but we didn't want to be bothersome so we just said it was ok. Bc hey mistakes can happen. Ten minutes later our salads came out and that's where it broke really bad. Our mushrooms were slimy with dark brown spots which is a clear indication they're spoiled. The cucumbers were also spoiled as they were discolored and soft. Seeing how we both ordered steaks, mine I had earlier requested to add mushrooms it just wasn't a risk we were willing to take. If the veggies were spoiled and still being served it really scared us as to the condition of the meat. I've never ordered and left a restaurant but that was it. We have two kids and rarely get date nights and when we are going to spend $60 + on a meal I just couldn't stomach the thought of continuing with the awful experience. We told the waiter of the situation and he apologized and said he could remake the salad but we told him we would just like to pay for my husbands beer and go. He was nice about it but we were just done. It's now 9:00 and we still haven't eaten and are on our way to another restaurant . A real shame. read more

Great steaks! Friendly staff good prices. You get in and out fast. A little loud because of the wood floors. read more

We ate steak & fries, wife had to send her steak back (under cooked) took a while to get the steak replaced everything was cold by then. They seemed to be understaffed as we only saw our waitress a few times as she was also working the bar and other tasks. We thought the food was not as good as it should have been for the price or other reviews. In our opinion there are much better steak houses with-in this price range that serve a far better meal. The the sides offered were good though, the bread was as well. They did offer a discount due to the issue with our meal but when that happens it really ruins the eating out experience due to the timeliness of everyone being served and eating at the same time and as mentioned, her sides were cold when the steak was brought back. read more

Thursday August 31, ordered the catfish dinner, fries and cowboy beans, my wife ordered skewered shrimp. First let me tell you she was very satisfied with her order of the shrimp. However my order was delivered with 3 filets of catfish, two lemons, and tartar sauce. The fish was well prepared, but normally a meal should include all menu items at the same time. My fries showed up about 5 minutes later on a separate plate, and later the cowboy beans were delivered only after reminding the server that I had ordered them. All the food was good but the service was very poor. Still we left a tip, which I bit my lip in doing. Probably last trip to RR Steakhouse. Ron Antalek Spearman Texas read more

Love this place for delivery or dine in. Steaks are great, chicken fry is delicious and I love the free cobbler!

After having lunch at Red River Steakhouse today, I can assure you that anyone would love this restaurant! The ribeye steaks are perfect. The soup was excellent, too. Imagine that a lovely bowl of cobble was complimentary. I had peach and my husband had plum. Yum. We will definitely try this again. read more

Party of about 15 of us , ordered the 8oz filet that seemed more like a 6, it was good... little over cooked but I indulged regardless. My wife's however tasted funny ... she got the exact same order.. but her food came out last so idk if that had anything to do with it. Before dinner arrived I was anxious for an IPA and waitress had no idea what I was talking about as she brought out a vanilla Porter. I had asked before she took my beer order if she new what an IPA was ... she insisted she knew what I was referring too and even offered to bring me samples to pick from ..... and guess what , they were all porters. At this point I say fuck it grab me a shiner. Done n done ... I'm over it , all in all I would try this place again ..... not sure about the wifey tho... read more
