One of the standout features of Red River Bbq is their dedication to the art of smoking meat. They take pride in their slow-cooked barbecue, ensuring each bite is packed with flavor.

Their pulled pork is equally mouthwatering. Slow-roasted to perfection, the pork is juicy, flavorful, and so tender it practically falls apart with a fork. It’s a favorite on the menu, often paired with coleslaw and served on a soft bun. If you’re looking to try something a little different, their smoked sausages are a great option as well. Smoky and spicy with just the right amount of kick, these sausages are grilled to give them that perfect crispy skin.

Not only does Red River Bbq excel in smoked meats, but they also offer a variety of sides that enhance the overall dining experience. The mac and cheese is rich, creamy, and comforting, making it a perfect match for the smoky meat dishes. For a bit of crunch, their onion rings are a must-try-crispy on the outside with a sweet, tender onion inside. Another standout is the cornbread, which is sweet, moist, and baked to perfection. The portions are generous, so you’re sure to leave satisfied.

What’s also impressive about Red River Bbq is their commitment to using fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every dish is made to order, ensuring that your meal is always fresh and bursting with flavor.

We stopped in for dinner after hearing about this restaurant from a few friends. The atmosphere was very open and welcoming. I enjoyed how it was decorated. To start off we tried the RRBQ tater tots as they sounded sinful. It was an adequate portion that had pieces of BBQ pork and cheese on the tater tots. Unfortunately they were what seemed to be tater tots. We were envisioning a homemade tot similar to a home fry. They were very filling. My husband had the prime rib brisket sandwich. He said it was very tender and flavorful. I had the crispy chicken sandwich which seemed a tad under cooked and lacked flavor. I was thankful for the dipping sauce that it was served with. We both enjoyed the fries that came with our sandwiches. We didn't have dessert. A very limited dessert menu but we were too full to even consider it. What we enjoyed the most was our waitress Jes. She was simply amazing. Very friendly and has a great personality.

Wow, everything was simply amazing down to the cornbread and the pickled onions. Sooo authentic and soooo good. Not to mention, reasonable prices and a super cute decor with a fireplace. They also had great music from a live band. Definitely coming back!

Delicious BBQ. Traveling back from Cape Cod when I stopped on a Sunday with the special being 50 cent wing night and it was worth it. The smoked wings were amazing and could have been a meal on their own. The brisket sandwich was tasty; thick bark, smoke ring, tender and juicy on the inside. Very popular, it seemed, with locals for good reason. Got crowded around 6pm.

Our server was super nice and attentive. The food took a little time to come out but it was worth the wait. Everything was delicious. The place felt like you are at someone’s home being served a home cooked meal. I just wish there was some background music or live music to add to its atmosphere.

Outstanding food in a modern, relaxed, and friendly environment. Tried the cornbread and the brisket sandwich and they were both really delicious as well as generous servings. Would absolutely recommend and return. Staff were a little bit slammed on our visit but still took very good care of us.

I love coming here and the atmosphere and most food is very good!! Service was also amazing. One thing I would like to mention though are their chicken wings. No choice of sauce, only a dry rub with bbq sauce to dip in. The bbq sauce was good, but the wings were not too tasty, also in the whole restaurant there was no ranch or bleu cheese to dip them in. I was told the owner didn’t want to have either of them. I would understand if the wings could “hold their own” taste wise but they couldn’t. I get wings everywhere I go and I was excited to try them here but was sadly disappointed. Again, great restaurant and vibes, I love it here, as for the wings, I will not be getting them again.

Our first visit was great. They have a great drink menu with an outstanding selection of tequilas. The food was terrific. The bar is small but suits the place well. We had wings for starters they were brined, smoked, and then fried. They were delicious great smoke flavor but not overwhelming. I had the large brisket plate which was great, my wife had fish and chips, they were equally delicious. We shall return.

The food here is absolutely delicious and fresh. Very cost friendly for locals and tourists. Fabulous service. Can't wait to go back. The potato salad, homemade corn bread, shrimp basket and fish and chips perfect. The home made fries best ever!! Also the coleslaw and tarter also homemade
