(Written by my wife.) What was good? 1. Salad was crisp; dressing tasty. 2. Baked potatoes were hot. 3. My husband said his steak was hot and very good. 4. My steak tasted good. 5. Bathrooms were clean. What was bad? 1. Coffee was cold, brown water... 2. ...served with fake cream. 3. The dinner bread was a microwaved, pre-fab, sandwich roll... 4. ...served with fake butter. 5. My steak was fatty and cold. 6. No butter for baked potato. Who serves a water-based, chemical-filled spread in 2015, and calls it butter? 7. A dessert was included with the price of meal, but they wanted to charge us to wrap it To Go. I couldn't stand being there another minute, so we skipped it. Paid for a dessert we never received. 8. Husband's corn-on-the-cob was ice cold. Should I give waitress credit for not suggesting this was normal? Took about five minutes to get it back. 9. Speaking of our waitress, after the cold corn she did try to be friendly. Overall, though, we felt we were an unwelcome bother. In conclusion? I am disgusted. I wish I had protested, but I actually felt so sick to my stomach I decided I'd rather not add to my misery by issuing a fruitless complaint. We wanted to experience a famous, Texas steak - a once in a lifetime experience, right? So disappointing! I seriously hope I don't end up with food poisoning. Thank goodness I never have to eat there again. read more

If I could give it less than one I would and if you're from the NE or even remotely look Native American DON'T hold your breath on service!!!! And don't ask for a burger or anything not a steak cause they'll be fresh out, despite locals being served just that! $10 for 2 ice teas and a salad after a 45 min wait we should have been given those things with an apology! read more

Red River Steakhouse - McLean - DONT GO HERE!!!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Mclean, Texas

See all

Lunch in Texas. Hole in the wall goodness. I had the chicken fried steak. So good. The people are very nice. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good meal. read more

Great food for a place that is in the middle of nowhere. Red mud sandwich and the jalapeno burger is what we had.

Despite the few negative reviews the steak was good! It was definitely better than the Denny's steak the truck driver below mentioned. I would go back. Service was fast so it got us back on the road. And the free cobbler was good! read more

Food was satisfactory. There of us ordered steaks two had to be remade. One was the wrong steak and one was well done rather than medium rare. Service was outstanding and the reason for four stars rather than 3. Fries were great! read more

Stopped here while driving through Texas. We were looking for something authentic and local and we found it. The steak was amazing, as was everything else we tried!! It's a must stop if you're looking for a good Texas steak!! P.S. Service is amazing and there's FREE cobbler!!! read more

The food if ok but the service is absolutely awful!! Wait 20 minutes just to get a drink order and then the server was hateful (side note only one other table in the restaurant) after 30 minutes of the server getting the drinks wrong we got our food order put In and the server was rude the whole time! Don't recommend eating here in the near future! read more

This place has the best food. We had chicken fried steak with baked potato and a wedge salad, and a sirloin with fries and a house salad. Everything was cooked to perfection. The server was very friendly and helpful. They use red bandanas for napkins. Definitely would stop here again when we're in the area. read more

The staff was great but the food was extremely salty and my Chicken Sandwich was still pink in the middle.

We stopped here hoping for a good Texas steak on our drive from Albuquerque to Oklahoma City and were sorely disappointed. The waitress acted as though we were a bother to her for showing up on an otherwise slow Thursday night. The prices seemed a little high for rural Texas but we brushed it off expecting good quality. My $16 ounce ribeye, which cost $25, could have easily been mistaken for a piece of cooked shoe leather. My wife's 12 ounce sirloin wasn't even an original cut steak, it had seemingly been ground and pressed into a glorified, rather tasteless hamburger. Should we ever pass McLean, Texas again we surely wouldn't stop here. read more

My wife and I visited their Amarillo location when it first opened and did not like it..we decided to give them a second chance....mistake. We went again tonight, Friday Nov. 6th. We ordered an appetizer and dinner. The appetizer did not come and when we asked the waiter about it he said the kitchen had run out ( 5:30 pm on a Friday) Later the manager came by and asked how things were and we told her about the appetizer and she was shocked. She checked and told us the kitchen did not run out. I surmised our waiter and forgotten to place our order and lied about being out. The manager asked the waiter to bring us a complementary dessert which did not arrive before we were ready to leave. The food is marginal, at best, and the service is, well,not up to par. We will NOT be giving them a third opportunity to disappoint us. read more

What a wonderful place for as meal. We stumbled upon this place after looking at the Barbed Wire Museum which unfortunately was closed. Very good meal and excellent service. read more

Stopped here on our road trip. The food was very good and the steak was very tender and tasty and needed no BBQ sauce. I was thrilled to get sweet tea, but hubby wanted plain and daughter wanted peach. It's nice to have choices. They were super friendly here and even made us fresh to-go cups of ice tea for the drive! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped on our way back to Arkansas from a road trip to Breckenridge, CO. The food was great, service was good, and they had the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen! We left just before the live music began. We were definitely surprised at the greatness considering the location. It was not sketchy, just in the middle of nowhere right off the interstate. I recommend the dinner steak! read more

My dad and I were passing by on our way to Vegas and we ran into this steakhouse!! I ordered the 21oz. Sirloin Steak for two and it was excellent!! Came with 4 sides and two pieces of cobbler which was amazing!!! Will definitely come back next time I'm around here! Great service as well from our server Misty!! read more

Plenty of parking for our big rig. Place was full of locals which is always a good sign. Steaks were tender and tasted great. Basic sides. Dressings on salads tasted house-made. Lettuce and tomatoes were fresh. Prices were moderate compared to other places in our travels. And, fresh baked cobbler with all entrees. read more

Really good chicken fried steak sandwich. Honest food and honest waitress e.g."The onion rings are frozen. They aren't hand breaded but they are good." And she was right. They were good. Service was a little bit slow but all in all, the food is good. read more

Decided to pass on the Big Texan and go to a place the locals visit. We made a good choice.

What a great find! We were traveling on Interstate 40 around lunchtime and read the other yelp reviews and decided to try it. We were not disappointed!! The food was terrific. The side salad was large and very fresh. Warm bread was delivered to the table. The steak was excellent!! The wait staff was very helpful and the atmosphere is like out of a movie! I hate chain restaurants and love to check Yelp for great finds. You will not go wrong with this place!! read more

Nice cut and perfect grill. Served as I wanted. Side was awesome and there was free dessert that I didn't expected.

I go here every year that I come to visit my Cousin Davie Gipson. The staff is great the ranch salad dressing is to die for and the ribeye steak is the best I have ever had. I wished it was back home in Austin I would probably eat there everyday! Thank y'all for always providing a fantastic meal. read more

overpriced, no semi truck parking, and if u get in, good luck getting out. the steak is horrible, i had better. denny's steak is way better, overall i wont be coming back here thats for sure! read more

Red River Steakhouse - McLean - 10oz ribeye steak, what a joke! tastes like sht! - Steakhouses Near Me - Mclean, Texas

Fantastic Ribeye. Didn't need any steak sauce or toppings. Great flavor. Love this place. Hard to believe there is a bad review for this place. read more

Had the $20 Cowboy Ribeye Steak. It was very tender & cooked a perfect med-rare but was a little short on flavor. (Yelp had a $20 for $10 offer) A little extra salt/seasoning would have helped. Hand cut fries were also lacking salt but that was an easy fix. The dinner salad was fresh and large enough to share. We were in a hurry so we took the free peach cobbler on the run ($1.00 for the 1/4 pint container). If we'd still been at the resturant I'd bought an extra serving of the cobbler - delicious! Though it was 2pm on a Saturday they were pretty busy but only had one waitress. Good food and very reasonable even without the discount. read more

Best steak I have EVER had hands down. While the salad was pretty good and the veggies were very good, the ribeye was awesome. Hubby had prime rib also awesome. Amazing price, fun atmosphere and live cowboy music. read more

Dropped in for Chicken Fried Steak today, salad was very fresh and tasted good , the CFS and gravy was good tasting and fries were good. I would recommend this restaurant to my friends. read more

One star is too many. My steak was well done and I sent it back. When a new steak was cooked it looked much better. When I cut into it it was done but so stringy I couldn't eat it. I tried my baked potato wasn't done, I was amazed. My friend ordered fried catfish and it was so tough she couldn't cut it with a steak knife. The potato salad had no flavor. My daughter got the kabob, the meat was great but the rice was flavorless. Her baked potato was overdone and dry. The tossed salad was ok. read more

Luscious rib eye steak and the ribs are mesquite smoked, so good. This place is right off I40 but you can see it from the highway. Staff is friendly and the place is very homey. Today they served complimentary fruit cobbler and it was yummy too!! read more

Last night I had one of the best Chicken Fried Steaks that I personally have ever tasted. Seriously. Started with a REAL salad, that had all the components of a salad, as opposed to the normal handful of lettuce topped with the obligatory tomato. It's a family steakhouse, so when 8 of us came in for dinner they sat us down promptly. There were two gentlemen with piano & guitar softly singing lovely music that enhanced the visit rather than competing with it. It's quiet enough in there to hold a great conversation, even from opposite ends of the table. The staff was friendly & professional, and my goodness... well everybody enjoyed their food! And when we got the ticket it turned out that all of us had been very well fed, including terrific peach or plum cobbler included in the dinners, for $120. read more

I came with a group, all meals pre-planned up to a week and we arrived nearly an hour late as well. I have been waiting for 2 hours and still have not gotten my food, a simple chicken dish. read more

This is our second time here. We pass through here on our way to Arizona. The food is really good. Salad is fresh. If you are traveling on I40 and heading for dinner in Amarillo at the Big Texan I recommend you go here instead. Skip the tourist trap for good local hospitality. I will be coming here again next year. read more

Stopped here on our way from Phoenix, Arizona to Chicago tonight. We walked in 10 minutes before closing time and were still greeted with a smile. Lovely place with friendly service. The steak and chicken were good. Sadly, they were out of corn on the cob but other than that, great experience! read more

Driving through TX on vacation. Absolutely worth the stop. We are a family of 5 and everyone left full and happy. Food is delicious. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Our waitress helped celebrate our sons birthday by bringing cobbler with a candle. Thank you!! read more

Yum! We had lunch here on our way through town. Recommend chicken fried steak and French fries. Save room for peach cobbler. Great service too. Ps David says best home made, hand battered chicken fried steak. Period. read more

Such a cool atmosphere! 1960's Western culture. The steaks were juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection! We had green beans(soft cooked with bacon, onion, and chicken bouillon), baked potato, salad, and corn on the cob. DON'T FORGET the rattlesnake eggs for an appetizer (stuffed jalepenos with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon, deep fried to crisp perfection!) or the fresh grilled jalepenos you can get atop your steak. To top it all off, they end the meal with your choice of complimentary fruit cobbler. Tonight's selections were peach or plum. Yummmmm! read more

Pull off the bland freeway for this one. This was one of the best steaks that we had on the whole trip came with a huge potato and a wonderful new delicious salad. if you're traveling through and traveling by definitely for this ribeye. It is plenty for the two of us with you this big enough for the two of us and then we split the baked potato this is definitely a good in the style that plays at all about 66 to stop and have a good time they're staying at night then music we weren't there when they had music but I guess it's a pretty crazy crazy busy with the steak was the best ever definitely stop for this restaurant. Very friendly staff. read more

Very good food! Great service, fun atmosphere. The salad that comes with your meal could be the main course!

Stopped on our way back to Missouri. We were very impressed with the food and service. If you walk away hungry then it's your own fault.

We stopped in for a late lunch on our way to Palo Duro Canyon. The service was great and the steaks better. They came with a really fresh salad and peach or plum cobbler for dessert. The next day on our way back to Norman OK we had another great meal.So sorry we got there too early for the smoked prime rib at 5:00. Maybe next time we come out to OK. we'll time it right. We thought they were the best 35.00 meals we'll ever have. K and A from New Jersey read more
