Shotgun Willies was a gem in Red River, breakfast was fast and quite good and the chopped brisket sandwich at lunch was very good as well. They are only open until 3 pm but definitely a must stop when in Red River. read more

We were lucky enought to get in Willies while there was a short line over the Memorial Day Biker weekend. While we were not with the droves of bikers, we were still hungry and came to town. The burgers were decent and the enchiladas (we suspect chicken wraped in a tortilla then covered by chili-ish enchilada sauce) were ok. Fries were average. Aagain this was an extremely busy weekend but nothing exceptional but it was quick and easy! read more

This place is awesome! Best hatch green chili cheeseburger in town, and the people there are so nice. They have really good prices too- my husband and I ate two half-pound cheeseburgers with fries and a drink for about $20. The inside is nothing fancy, but the service is fast and friendly. Highly recommend!! read more

We love this place! They do takeout and they give HUGE portions. The Memphis-style BBQ burrito packed full of deliciousness. They have the biggest loaded baked potatoes in the state, mouth-watering juicy burgers and their breakfast will set you up for the whole day! I would pick Shotgun Willie's over the overpriced brewery and bistro in town ANY day! read more

This is a great place to grab some homestyle breakfast at a reasonable price. The place has a local feel to it without feeling like a dive. The service was great, extraordinarily friendly but we all know that means nothing if the food isn't great too! Fortunately the food is great and they have a good cup of coffee too. Like most places in Red River you can dine indoors or out but the doors were open so it made little difference the day we were there. read more

Given the few restaurant choices in Red River, Shotgun Willie's stands out as one of the best in town. Not my #1 overall, but definitely an excellent lunch stop. My husband and I stopped by for a quick bite to eat between our runs on the slopes and opted for a sliced brisket sandwich and 1/4 pound burger. The cashier recommend the tots and we added those to our order as well. The brisket sandwich had lean cuts of meat on a toasted bun with a side of BBQ sauce. The hamburger came dry on a toasted bun. However, one thing I loved about this place was the condiment bar complete with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, homemade ranch dressing, and the usual ketchup and mustard. This bar helped us customize our sandwiches to our liking. The tots were a little overcooked (I felt like you could taste the oil they were fried in) but they went well with a little ranch dressing for dipping - yum! The staff checked on us to see how we enjoyed our meal and seemed delightfully friendly. Shotgun Willie's was definitely a quick stop for some good eats. Be sure to give it a chance if you find yourself in red river. read more

Solid burger joint. Not pretentious and good for what it is. I had a green chili burger and it was tasty. My son had ..of all things...catfish! It too was served with hush puppies and was surprisingly good. Staff is friendly, helpful, and I would say you can dine here with confidence. read more

Breakfasts at Shotgun Willie's are reasonably priced and abundant. We love the breakfast burrito and the full breakfast. Ton of food, cheap price. Take cash. They don't accept credit cards. read more

This restaurant has great breakfast, it was fast and affordable! They were out of syrup for the kids, but food was good.

Yum! Good burgers and good breakfast! Long lines to order though. Wish there was a window for summer!!!

Great little burger joint. My husband said the burger had the "burger joint flavor" that's impossible to replicate at home. I had the chopped brisket....not the best I've had but definitely not the worst either. Place stays busy but there's plenty of seating both inside and out. NOTE: it closes at 3:00pm so don't get there too late! read more

If you have not had a brisket breakfast burrito smothered in green Chile you have not lived. Consistent service, excellent food quality, prime mountain location. Just go, you will not be disappointed. read more

Had a briscuit burrito, smothered, green, and tater tots. Awesome fare, clean, delicious. We sat outside, plenty of distance. Family friendly. And...Just friendly. read more

Back home in Texas now and for the first time in several mornings, I didn't have a breakfast burrito from Shotgun Willie's. I'm sure I will get over the withdrawals in a day or two. The bacon, egg, cheese, potato, and green chili is easily the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. It's massive too. Most everyone else in the family would split one.....sissies! Super friendly staff is a bonus. read more

My bf and I came here in January 2019 and we got a loaded baked potato which was as big as my hand lol it was so delicious and let me just tell y'all it was amazing it felt so welcoming and the restaurant environment itself felt so much like texas(where we are from) and it was so nice to have that. I highly recommend it read more

Best burgers you can get! Everything grill d in with it and umm good. The chicken fingers and chili was great too. Highly recommended by me! read more

We are only into our family vacation a few days and we've already eaten at shotgun willies cafe 3 times! They really do have the best breakfast in red river. The chopped brisket sandwich is delicious. I recommend getting the bun and meat separate unless you enjoy a soggy bun. The 1/2 burger was one of the best I had. It was super juicy and tender. The staff was quick to fix any mistake and prepared our food very quickly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

8/4/18 Shotgun willies has a delicious breakfast, coffee was great. Hubby had chicken fry steak and eggs, Lil J had biscuits and grave, Natt had breakfast burrito. Yummy homemade quality food. read more

I'm from south Texas and I was impressed with this NM BBQ! Fast service and yummy food! Brisket loaded baked potato was so good!

Shotgun Willies has excellent catfish!! The food was well worth the wait in line! You won't be disappointed in the food here.

Listen to me, if you are in Red River you absolutely must go to Shotgun Willie's for breakfast. And when you do, you absolutely must order the breakfast burrito with brisket smothered in green chili. It's also the only place that has good ice tea. And for the kids, the French toast was perfect and a big enough serving for 2 or 3 kids. I can't wait to go back and try lunch. read more

Shotgun Willies has the best employee's and owners. The are friendly and answer all the questions you throw at them. It is a great family place and a great place to go get coffee and play in the computer. Their food is excellent, the breakfast is my favorite and it never gets old eating their! One of the best joints in town by far! (; read more

Super good food and friendly service. Space is limited inside but have a nice covered patio. Brisket burrito is great.

Best breakfast in town. The BLT and Brisket Burrito are awesome. If you like spicy, the Brisket Burrio is the way to go. Clean, friendly staff. read more

From Texas- I'm not a fan of the state of New Mexico's Green Chili fetish, however I found the comforts of TEXAS at Shot Gun Willies. The hamburgers are great and I highly recommend the BOB- for breakfast with brisket- I know it's a stretch- but you'll LOVE IT- TRY IT!!! No green chili anything for this south Texan! Enjoy! read more

Shotgun Willies is worth the walk from the mountain for lunch. The food is cheaper and MUCH better than what is offered on the mountain. I had the chicken fajita baker. So good! My husband had the chili cheese dog and tots and enjoyed them both. The woman at the counter was very friendly. I would recommend this restaurant for a cheap yummy lunch. read more

Yummmmm!!!! AMAZING green chile burgers for us & brisket plate for kids - perfect! Staff was great - will go back!

Great burger joint with a bonus of good breakfast. It's usually a little crowded & tight in there, nice to sit outside in the summer. It's not high end dining, but never claims to be. Food selections include burgers, brisket sandwiches, chili dogs, etc. There is vegetarian options. Bummer it closes at 2:00 pm though. Service is great. read more

Great burgers and fries. Very friendly. Downside is they don't accept debit or credit cards.

Shotgun Willies is one of the best in town for breakfast and lunch. Their brisket will make you return for more. Owners have kept the place "original " and expanded the menu. If you leave hungry it's your own fault! read more

BEST, BEST, BEST Barbeque! Try melt in your mouth smoked brisket! It's beyond the 'yum' factor!

The restaurant is disgusting. I went there a couple of weeks ago, and my hamburger was filled with grease. When I tried to take a bite, the burger slid out of the bun and I almost swallowed it whole. It's like I was drinking straight from the frying pan. The place is filthy, I swear I saw a rat crawl under my chair. I ate their breakfast burritos also, and oh my. The burrito was extremely hard, I think it had been sitting in the hot sun for days before being served. Never coming back. read more

Great little place in the middle of town. Breakfast was exceptional. Large portions and cooked perfectly. Green chiles are a must with everything. Can order on the side. Hot sauce is also fresh and great read more

Best BRISKET EVER!! Get the platter-big enough to share. Free refills on drinks, friendly staff. Will go back at least 2x more before going home. read more

We just grabbed some burgers for a quick lunch. The burgers were pretty good, except for the fact that they screwed up our order. We wanted one green chile burger and 2 regular cheeseburgers, and they gave us three chile burgers which were WAY too spicy for our kids, so we had to find them something else to eat. read more

Awesome burger and I liked the feel of this place. No frills, just great food. My boyfriend also really enjoyed the chili. We both wanted another burger because it was so tasty. People at counter were really friendly too. Only gave it 4 stars because my tater tots were over cooked and it was somewhat overpriced for just burgers. Would go back for a burger...or two. read more

Ate here a few times and the bbq and burgers are great. Everything i have ate here has been good sept for the fishUsually a good sized line to wait but they are really fast! Food was cheapish 26$ for two plates and drinks. Only knock on the place is the fish. If u like fish do not get this fish! Its some of the fowlest smelling i have ever had. Not sure whats wrong with it. read more

A Red River staple! I've been eating here during my RR trips for years and its always fantastic service, kind service & delicious food! Green chili breakfast burrito is the best! For all those reviews stating its 'just a burger joint'....did you expect a 5 star restaurant? Lol A+++++ read more

My half pound cheeseburger was plenty, but I still ordered fries. They were both good. I like how they have a vegetable/condiment bar set up. It kinda makes things easier on all of us. The older lady working the register was very pleasant as well. I would eat here again. read more
