Red River Cafe

They have the best bacon cheese burger I've had in 30 years! A meaty, charred burger with extra crispy bacon on a toasted bun with fresh veggies and a unique burger sauce. Old school perfection!

I had the bacon jalapeno mac and cheese it was amazing. The service was phenomenal.

The clam chowder is awesome, wish I had a bowl instead of a cup. Would definitely recommend ♥

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.

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!

Don't come hungry!

The restaurant has recently changed locations within the casino. With the location change, there is also a change in the menu. A lot of options have changed, and the prices have gone up significantly.

The service is incredibly slow. Show up when you are starting to get hungry, not when you are actually hungry. After we got seated it was a 45 min wait for our food, and the restaurant was only half full.

The food was OK, but nothing special. The amazing crispy, double fried fries have now been replaced with generic fries out of a bag that you can get anywhere.

With the change in menu, pricing, quality, and service, I'll definitely think twice before coming back. All of the servers were really upbeat and friendly in the face of a less than thrilled dinning room. The host desk, on the other hand, could be improved.

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.

The cafe is now located in the old buffet.
There is a new menu which I posted.
Prices are up.
Substitutions are $4 extra. Sharing now costs an extra $5. I'll just get take out I guess, and eat in the lounge.
Not impressed with the mango and hablenero shrimp. Too much hot sauce on everything, and not nice tasting. Mango was slimy. Only 5 shrimp. (They were tasty once you got some of the sauce off) Overall,a step backwards.

My husband and I come at least once or twice a month because we love the clam chowder and food. When we came in this Tuesday it was moved to new location and the prices went up. We had our usual a bowl of clam chowder to share but to our surprise it was way smaller like the cup they had before. The server when we asked says no the old bowl was just taller but it was not. Also we had chicken strips too and the chicken was 4 small pieces not the usual big pieces you get yet the price is more. When we got the check we were surprised to find a split plate fee of $5 each which was $10 more to our bill. The supervisor just told us it's their policy and to write a comment card. We were not happy the server should tell the customer of this fee and overall it is not affordable or good deal anymore to dine here.
Alot of the customers are seniors and can't afford to pay this much. We were not the only ones to complain others came along too when we talked to the supervisor.

Food was not good! Customer service was good! Very disappointed in their food… thank you!

Well..we love to get burgers at red river Cafe. We were here 2 months ago, came in to get order to go. No more onion rings that you normally pay extra for. Prices went up, went to the bar to wait, everything has changed, plastic glasses and the red river has moved. Hmmm maybe have to rethink.

Updated: Silver free has official “redone” the Red River Cafe and not only changed the menu but significantly raised their prices. (Pic from their video of the announcement attached) What used to be an affordable and delicious night out is no longer. Unfortunately, we won’t go back.

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.

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.

Update May 2024 they moved to the old buffet section, switched up the menu and bumped up the prices apparently because of new management.

Service is still good but I was shocked at the food quality and the annoying extra fees. $5 extra if you want to split a burger! Clam chowder only comes in a small bowl. Look at my medium rare prime rib does that look like a twice dead cow? An off day? I don’t know but it appears new management is out of touch with its market. The advantage they have is that ain’t no places close by to have decent grubs. Will try it one more time and judge it from there.

Old review:

Bar none the best chowder in the northwest!

Best part of this place? Darn good juicy burger for $11 bucks! Would have rated it higher had the shrimp cocktail been better….portion size was way too small for the price.
