Read the good reviews regarding the good deal on the waygu hamburgers so I stopped off after kayaking in Chuckanut area. Casual dining area that was dark but comfortable atmosphere. Service was good and fast. Was eating my waygu mushroom burger in under 10 minutes of ordering and was impressed with the huge portions! Unfortunately they ran out of onion rings so I went with fries. Very tasty burger, moist and well seasoned along with the delicious fries and large half slice dill pickle. Burger came with sautéed mushrooms, melted Swiss cheese, raw red sliced onions, lettuce and tomatoes, all fresh! But what was most impressive was the price $11! This would easily cost over $20 in Csnada!

Red River Cafe is our go to night out place to eat! It’s typical diner food but considering the price, it’s damn good. You can’t beat $11.95 for a burger and fries! It’s typically under $40 for my significant other and I to go out and that’s with ordering a glass of wine. And you get a discount if you have a players card! The food is always great and pretty quick to come out. The service is always good too. It’s rare you can eat somewhere these days and feel like you actually got your money’s worth but this place is one of them. Only downside is, it’s in a casino so it can get kind of loud in there with all the bells and whistles going off but it’s not toooo bad.

I went for my birthday. Appetizer was great, steak skewers were cooked perfectly. I ordered the clam chowder with dinner and it was thick and delicious. Drinks were well made and very tasty. We discussed my allergies to onion with the server.I ordered the NY steak. Asked for it med rare just like the skewers. Unfortunately it came well done so I had to send it back, AND the vegetables came with lots of onions (uhh, we discussed my allergies, wth!)Our server offered a whole new plate for me. OK.Second steak comes out Blue rare! Server had to take it back for a THIRD TIME. when this one came out, the color was good but it was very tough like a very cheap steak. It was very un impressive. Our server mentioned that all the chefs were still fairly new but had been there at least 3 months. If you can’t cook a steak in a higher level restaurant like this, you should NOT be a cook at all. Sorry, but that’s MY opinion.Overall my experience this time was very disappointing. I don’t think I will ever want to come here for a birthday dinner again.There were some other things on the menu that I’d like to try so I guess I’ll come again, but I surely hope my next experience is much better because it couldn’t be much worse.

This is a small quaint place. The menu is small but covers all kinds of food... The building is old, and has high ceilings. The staff was friendly and full of recommendations. The service was great, the price was fair, and the food was excellent. Definitely worth the trip to here...

I stopped by here because it's where my boyfriend works, but don't worry, despite my love for him, I will not be biased!Thankfully I don't have to be, this place was awesome. My mom loved her reuben, and my aloha sandwich was fresh and well grilled. I also got an eclair after dinner and it was incredibly inexpensive but also delicious, fluffy, and light! The service also needs to be mentioned. Our waitress, Bella, was incredibly attentive, pleasant, and on top of everything. If you're looking for a great inexpensive place to eat between slots or blackjack, make your way here!

This will be the first and last time I eat here. I started eatng my order of sweet potato fries on my way home and bit into a fry with dish soap on it. It caused me to gag. I called and spoke to the manager who tried to say it was in my head. Not only was I poisoned with chemicals, but do not expect management to care for their customers.

We had the special Kahlúa burger and for $12 it was an incredible deal. The fries were great. The burger was great.

Over the past few years I've gotten about everything on the menu. Everything is bad except for a few things pan-asia is good, 50% chance for the omelette being good, club sandwich is okay just make sure the little piece of plastic on top of the toothpick they stick through your sandwich doesn't leave any plastic resin in the middle of your sandwich.

The staff were very friendly but were not very attentive in their job. Food was mediocre and inconsistent. Had an appetizer that had great flavor but was so over sauced, it was a hot mess. The mains on the other hand packed flavor and portion sizes were large. Left full but not satisfied.

Easy to eat meals, you will not choke on the price, as they are more affordable than any of the other sit down burger joints in the area. As many places the lack of staffing creates a little slower service, but we like to order ours to go and to sit in the bar and watch some of games in the sports book. Sometimes we even call ahead to make that happen. Basically you get a $17 burger for $11. Why not?

One hour wait on Saturday night, so put your name on the list early. We got a buzzer, which didn’t buzz, but they announced when the table was ready so we didn’t miss it. Very friendly service.Classic American restaurant. Lots of classic options like burgers, sandwiches and mac and cheese. I don’t eat meat or deep fried food and I was very excited to see grilled shrimp skewers with veggies and potato on the menu. It hit the spot! Perfectly grilled shrimp and a good side of different veggies. Option of baked or mashed potato.Hubby loved their clam chowder and the Panasian Honey Walnut Shrimps.I hope they add more healthier options to their menu in the near future.

My prime rib left me fully satisfied. Great price, well seasoned. I probably should have got the salad but couldn't help myself and got the clam chowder. A great choice if you're in the casino.

Came here for Thanksgiving dinner and am really impressed. The turkey dinner was fantastic and a reasonable price. Came with two thick slices of turkey breast, mashed potatoes, Brussel sprouts, and stuffing, with side of cranberry sauce. Turkey was nice and tender, covered with gravy. Potatoes were real and not instant, could taste and feel the potatoes as was eating them. Very thankful for the employees that worked on Thanksgiving, many thanks!

Good place to have a bite while in the casino. They offer an extensive menu with rotating monthly specials. Food is just mediocre at a reasonable price. The burgers look good and the food is plentiful. Service tends to be slow all the time.
