Red River Brewing Company & Distillery

We were treated with such personal attention tonight. Our bartenders Jordan Diane and Stephen made our drinks to order and they were amazing. Then Shane, the head chef, treated us to green chili stew and clam chowder. If you love green chili stew with a bite you will love this version. It’s very flavorful and hearty. The clam chowder was spot on and my favorite. Definitely will try other new items on the menu. Thanks for a great experience.

I really like this place but… We went last night and I ordered the salmon special. The plating was good but there was way too much blackening seasoning on the fish. I could only eat half. They are accommodating for groups and the service is very good. I like the appetizers and beers more than the menu food but overall it’s a great place to come to in Red River.

A Culinary Delight with Room for Improvement Nestled in Red River, New Mexico. The Red River Brewing Company offers a culinary experience that leaves taste buds tingling with delight, and yes this is a real review. The star of the show undoubtedly is the giant chili dog, a carnivore's dream come true. Priced at $14, the portion size is generous and lives up to its "giant" moniker, ensuring you won't leave hungry. The menu's crown jewel, the green chili stew, complements the main course perfectly. Its rich flavors and well-balanced spice make it a delightful sidekick to the hearty chili dog. However, the dining experience took a hit due to the inconsistent service. While the waitstaff managed adequately, the host at the front door left much to be desired. Their lackluster approach affected the initial impression and set the tone for the evening. It's worth noting that the restaurant may have been understaffed during my visit, as the waiter seemed stretched thin. Despite this, they handled the situation reasonably well, ensuring our needs were met. In summary, The Red River Brewing Company & Distillery excels in delivering a gastronomic journey with standout dishes like the giant chili dog and green chili stew. However, attention to service, particularly at the entrance, could elevate the overall dining experience. With a little refinement, this establishment has the potential to become a top-tier culinary destination.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I've been meaning to review Red River Brewing Company & Distillery for a while now, ever since Tyler and Cynthia provided exceptional service when I visited with them in 2022. The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect for a fun night out. Life got hectic, but I promised Tyler and Cynthia I would write a review to share my positive experience. I definitely plan on returning, especially to visit Tyler and Cynthia again and to indulge in some more of their mouth-watering dishes. Highly recommend! (Tyler and Cynthia I apologize for the extremely late review)

Great place. Their green Chile beer was delicious. Got the nachos with green Chile and that was a definite show stopper. The brisket tacos everyone else mentions were very good but they’re definitely spicy! Chris was our bartender and he was a real sweetheart. It doesn’t hurt that he makes a wonderful margarita! (Pro tip: ask for half the usual sweetness!) We’ll be back.

Despite appearing busy, our party of seven was seated very quickly. Our waitress, Mia, was incredible and honestly one of the best servers I've had in a long time. She was friendly, attentive and very patient with my group. She even tended to my very picky toddler and reheated the cheese on her grilled cheese to be "more meltier". We had several drinks, tap and cocktails, and all were brought to the table quickly. They offer many of their drinks "to go". I HIGHLY recommend the Coffee Steamer Porter. I made sure to grab a to-go can on my way out. Most of my group had the brisket is various forms... bbq plate, tacos, nachos, and sandwich. The brisket had great flavor and wasn't dry. I wish i would have gotten pictures of our food to share. All-in-all, I'd definitely recommend this restaurant.

Our waiter Reese was incredible, quick, and friendly. The chips were very crunchy and perfectly salted. The salsa that came with the brisket tacos had a nice kick (and I LOVE spicy food, like Serranos, habaneros)! The brisket tacos were delicious, had all the perfect textures and flavorful! There was also a live singer. Loved his on the spot song and covers. His free stickers with tip were awesome. If you are in red river and want some good food, incredible service, and live entertainment check it out!
