Always reliable, fast, good barbecue. Guaranteed to be more than one should eat in a sitting. And our son loves the cornbread. The only thing that prevents us from going more frequently are what we've termed "the interrogation lights" - all of the lights & ceiling fan lights turned on in the place turns out to be very bright and harsh - enough to dissuade us from sitting under them too often. Otherwise, great! Pros: reliable, fast, good barbecue Cons: interrogation lighting

I think this restaurant is much better than Pappas Bar-b-q and their prices are much more reasonable. I love their turkey, which is a nice low fat meal, but they have a staggering variety of meat. Their potato salad is delicious! We use them for catering conferences at work and everyone is always so impressed with the luncheons. A great place to try!

Seriously the best BBQ, I can ever remember eating. The flavor is real TX style smoke. The ribs & brisket were to DIE for. I definitely did not leave hungry since I could not resist the coconut pie! I also loved the fried okra and the stuffed baked potato, with the chicken! I literally have not eaten BBQ anywhere else since I found Red River! Pros: outside deck, BBQ sauce, inexpensive

When I hear the word afciando, I think robust appetite and the belly to prove it. While I do not consider myself to possess either, I do consider myself a good judge of good grub. Red River is a place I could take my parents or meet some old friends for a couple of beers and finger licking good ribs. I think WASTE OF TIME is probably the creator of dry ribs, bland potato salad and those disgustingly sweet, overly fat beans otherwise known as Bush's Baked Beans. The turkey is juicy and thick, because I did not stop at Subway for a turkey sandwhich. It is smoked and cut right off the breast the way a BBQ restaurant should serve it. If you have not tried Red River, you don't know what you're missing.
