Red River Cafe — Restaurant in Washington

I'm a little surprised to see the overall rating average under a 4 at Red River, especially compared to a lot of the much less desirable restaurants in the area with higher ratings that are just terrible. I don't gamble but I do come here probably about once a month just to eat. The prime rib is delicious! It's not the most aged cut that you might get from a really fancy steakhouse, but trust me, it is still darn good, and definitely enough to keep me coming back on repeat (and I am admittedly a bit snobby about my steaks). Portions are excellent here. The burgers and breakfasty items are also really good, they just need to swap out whipped margarine to whipped butter, because margarine is gross. They do have little butter packets though, so be sure to ask if you hate margarine as much as I do. I also got a cold baked potato once so I now just get the mashed potatoes, which btw are excellent and always hot. The side veggies are delicious and well seasoned. Got a cheesecake to-go once from the Barista there too, surprisingly good, not too sweet and very creamy. Overall the food is definitely worth coming back for, good quality, large portions, and very fair prices. Honestly my only real gripe about the place is that customer service is sort of hit or miss, sometimes service is great but other times the staff looks either miserable or they're just completely aloof, (not rude or anything, but it can be a bit of a downer). I'll still be back for...

SINCE THEY CHANGED THE MENU AND LOCATION, THE FOOD IS TERRIBLE, THE SERVICE IS SUB PAR AT BEST. I DON'T MIND HIGHER PRICES AND UNDERSTAND WHY THEY NEED TO INCREASE, BUT I SURELY EXPECT THE SAME OR BETTER QUALITY OF FOOD. THE MENU SELECTION HAS DECREASED, AND WHATS THERE IS NOT A GOOD SELECTION. WE HAVE BEEN THERE 3 TIMES SINCE IT CHANGED AND BEEN EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED EACH TIME. THE ONLY SAVING GRACE IS THE CHOWDER IS STILL THE SAME, GRANTED THE PORTIONS ARE A LOT SMALLER. THIS IS A PLACE I WOULD ALWAYS RECOMMEND TO ALL MY FRIENDS, NOW I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT TO MY ENEMIES. YOU WANT A SUGGESTION PUT SOME REVIEW CARDS ON EACH TABLE OR WITH EACH CHECK SO YOU CAN GET AN ACCURATE IDEA OF HOW YOU ARE DOING. I THINK YOU MAY BE SURPRISED AT WHAT PEOPLE REALLY THINK. NO ONE I HAVE TALKED TO HAS BEEN PLEASED WITH ANY OF THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE. YOU SHOULD REALLY UNDERSTAND THE FOOD IS WHAT BRINGS PEOPLE TO A CASINO NOT JUST THE GAMING. THAT IS THE REASON WE HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE BOW HILL CASINO IN YEARS TERRIBLE FOOD SELECTION. WE WILL MAKE THE DRIVE TO SWINOMISH , OR ANGEL OF THE WINDS TO HAVE GOOD FOOD AND A GOOD TIME. THE SAD PART FOR YOU IS THAT I LIE 5 MINUTES FROM THE SILVER REEF. I WILL POST THIS ON AS MANY REVIEW BOARDS I CAN FIND, I HOPE THEY MAKE SOME SWIFT...

A couple months ago I used to recommend this place to people when they wanted a good meal for not too much money. Now? With the menus/location change do not waste your time. Absolutely terrible. My partner and I went there after the location moved and it was the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. We were sitting at our table for at least 15 minutes and were never greeted by our server. It was so terrible another service noticed and came over to apologize and take our drink order. About 5 minutes later “our server” comes over with our drinks, apologizes for the wait, and said his co-worker placed our food order for us. Food came out reasonably fast and “our server” didn’t even bring our food over it was the server who took our drink order, who wasn’t even our server. Ball dropped again. “Our server” never even came back to check on us despite walking past multiple times and we had to flag him down for the check. 0 stars is deserved. Not to mention the change to the steak is crazy. How do you go from getting a steak with 2 sides, mixed vegetables, Texas toast, and a soup or salad for $22 to a steak with just two sides for $29. Crazy to think just a couple months ago the service was amazing and food was...
