First time came here for lunch and it was great. Dinner time 6:45 sat down . Waitress acknowledged us at 7:11. Ordered at 7:15. 7:29 room temp steak dinner arrived . She didnt write our order down. We didnt get our zucchini strips. No drink refills. 7:47 still thirsty! I ask the busgirl for a refill and she said not to tell anyone because she isnt supposed too. 7:55 got our bill. Drinks and sides were not even charged on the bill.Waitress was terrible. The restaurant was clean. Food could have been better.

Wow, where do I begin? Was on a road trip from OK to CA and all I wanted was a good steak dinner. Saw the Red River figured I was in for a treat. Walked in and immediately felt comfortable. Nice place, Sarah sat us at out table and told is about the specials. I had the larger ribeye and my friend had the fried catfish. The salads were terrific and the steak was excellent. Ate so much we turned down the offer of free desert!Oh and the price? Wow, impressively affordable. Thanks guys!

I am updating my review of many years ago. I was in McLean last week with family and we dined here. First of all, the service was superb. Sally was our waitress. She was fantastic. The best. She watched our table and made sure our drinks were full and yet she wasn't intrusive. I could see her I over there watching our table and she made sure we were happy. If I owned a competing restaurant, I would try to hire her. She was that good!Now, the food. I had the ribeye special. It came with about 7 pounds of mushrooms and onions on top. That's great, except I hate mushrooms. But, the steak! OMG it was good. It was cooked perfectly, and maybe those mushrooms added some good flavor. Anyway, I would order it again for sure, but I will never eat a mushroom. But it was a great steak, and that suits me just fine!Everyone else in our party loved their food and the service. I like the decor of the place. The ambiance is great.What a great restaurant. Thank you Sally! And thanks for the good food. I will be back every time I'm in town!

Excellent service. There was only one waitress and she took care of every table better than a room full of waiters. She promptly brought us bread and water. Took our orders quickly and food was delivered fast. It's because of her that I'm giving 5 stars. The food itself is more of a 4 star. Short rib sandwich was super greasy. Wedge salad was good. Sweet potato fries needed salt. Cobbler which was free was quite good. Portions very big. If I returned it would be for a salad. And the se

A great hidden gem! I will start by saying we came across this restaurant as we were traveling across the state. We love fried zucchini and Red River's were delicious. They also have a delicious ranch dressing to dip them into. Their bread was not worth the calories and we like real butter, not available there. Bread is not what you come to enjoy at this restaurant, it is the steaks! Their steaks do not disappoint! They were tender and flavorful! YUM! We look forward to stopping in on our way back home.We received great service! The ambiance was perfect. They have a stage set up, so I am guessing they have live music maybe on the weekends?

This is is a gem of a restaurant. It is a bit off the path of the main highway but only a few minutes. It is well worth a stop for a juicy steak. I ordered the 12 oz. NY strip medium well and it was amazing. They age their steaks and cook to your taste. Their green chilly stew is delicious with just the right amount of spices. Order the apricot cobbler at the end.... It is delicious. I will surely return when I pass by TX.

One of the most horrible meals I have ever had in my life, must have caught them on a bad day. They served me a cob of corn that was so old it should have been discarded the day before.Got the chicken fried steak and the size of the steak was laughable.

Service staff was friendly and on top of things however my rib eye was ordered medium and it came out overdone and tough as heck to chew. Waitress apologized and the cooks worked hard to get another out. It was cooked properly but these steaks out here in Texas, seem like they work too hard, as they are orettI asked for real butter instead of vegetable oil spread and they don't have any! At these prices and in Texas, real butter should be offered .The hostess was friendly and seated me quickly.The free cobbler was included with the meal - I tried the plum and the waitress put a free scoop of vanilla ice cream which made the apology for the steak faux paux and experience sweeter.

OK, so I'm staying over the night in McLean Texas at the C actus Inn, which is a motel and "Harvest Host" participant for motor homes. Red River steakhouse is next-door and was recommended to me by Angela. The proprietress. The atmosphere is down home country, the bathrooms were nice, the wait staff was cheerful, accommodating, and informative. I ordered a steak salad, which was as good as I've had in any city. I've been to had to travel a lot for work and steak salad is one of my go tos. The steak was cooked to my specifications, the salad portion was fresh and delicious. Highly recommended.
