*One star, because after dinner last night, I have been sick in bed all day with food poisoning.First, it needs to be said that our server was perfect.The food at dinner last night was OLD. Everybody knows what food tastes like after it’s been sitting under a heat lamp for hours and hours. We arrived just after 7pm and, as far as we could tell, were the only patrons in the restaurant. There was ONE car in the parking lot when we pulled in. Our complimentary bread tasted absolutely rancid, so the oil used to make it had most likely been pretty bad. My husband and I each had one small piece and neither of us finished our piece.My husband ordered the prime rib sandwich with a side of fries. The “prime rib” on his sandwich was like thick slices of leather; tough, and dark brown. Had he not eaten all day, he wouldn’t have eaten any more than the first bite. His fries were so old they had begun to shrivel and dry up. They looked to have probably been over cooked when they were still fresh, which they certainly weren’t by the time they landed on his plate.I ordered the chicken fried steak with white gravy, mashed potatoes and green beans. usually, here in Texas, it’s hard to go really wrong with that particular dinner. I’ve ordered the same more times than I could even count. I ate the mashed potatoes and gravy. I ate less than half of my shoe-leather-tough chicken fried steak - which was inexplicably on top of the gravy instead of beneath it - before my jaw literally began to ache from chewing it. I gave up. But the problem, I think, aside from the rancid jalapeño bread, were the green beans. They were quite literally floating in grease. I presumed it to be bacon grease, because it was thick and nearly viscous, the way bacon grease becomes when it’s no longer hot. The green beans seemed older than anything else on my plate; the beans themselves had become soft and lfloppy, and tasted like they were about 3-4 days old.When our wonderful server came to ask if we were done, then asked if everything was okay, we were honest with her about just how okay everything was *not*. She was horrified. As we were telling her, as politely as possible, her eyes grew more huge and at one point her jaw literally dropped open. She was very apologetic, but we reassured her it was not her fault, nor did we need an apology from her. However, it would have been nice if we’d been offered at least half off our nearly $55 dinner bill, but we weren’t. It was a very expensive meal, even if it had been good, or at least edible. We took it as a lesson and will not ever be going back.And now I’ve been sick for more than 12 hours.

Tonight is my wife’s birthday. For special days our family picks a local place that we have not been before . This time we picked poorly. Everything we ordered seemed old. The jalapeño bread even tasted almost rancid. Some how all the food was overcooked, dried out and greasy at the same time. Within an hour of leaving my wife was in the bathroom getting sick. So for a ruined special day and too much money, all we got was food poisoning.

Absolute banger of a steakhouse. Staff is amazing. The chicken fried steak definitely is one of the best out there. The steaks are juicy and it is well worth the price.
This is where the locals go. The only cowboy hats are genuine sweat stained. Nice haze of grill smoke greets you at the door and hangs out in your clothes till laundry day. The sides are pretty good, and the steaks perfectly cooked.

Red River Steakhouse has good food, amiable staff, and a true-to-the-area atmosphere.After a couple of meals there, I haven’t found a dish that I felt compelled to tell friends about. And the motif is Western America—similar to other Amarillo restaurants. However, I would describe the experience as consistent, which is heartening in many ways.

Food was delicious!Service was perfect!Piano music was soothing!
Called order in, and they said 20 minutes. Got there 20 minutes later, and they forgot to cook 1/2 of my order. Not to mention when I got there the young man (child) had to text someone before he checked me out. Then I got home, no each dressing, no cobbler and no bread.When I called the manager she was super nice, and my dressing was waiting for me when I arrived back to the restaurant. I didn’t even mention the cobbler or the bread to manager. It’s sad the kind of service we get these days for the prices we pay. At the end of the day, the manager was super nice and apologized. Just make sure you check you order before you leave the restaurant.
VERY GOOD TONIGHT ? ? ?
