We had a great experience at The Red Raven. I definitely recommend that you make reservations. They get very busy at dinner time and for good reason. The restaurant is cozy, clean, and well appointed. I loved the fresh tablecloths for each new guest. I also loved the starched red napkins. I had a blackberry old fashioned and my wife had a pomegranate martini. Both were balanced and fair pours. The Old Fashioned could have been mixed with ice before hitting the glass, but I am picky that way. We both had ribeye steaks and the kitchen nailed the temps. The cuts were average and the seasoning was a bit light. Our sides were hot. We ended the meal with the Chocolate Trilogy dessert and it was scrumptious. The cocktails are superb and the food is very good. I felt that the pricing was pretty low compared to a major metro area steakhouse. The people were the best. read more

Luis was our server. We had a rough start as he forgot to get a few things to our orders. But he stepped it up and made the birthday girls night out a success. The restaurant was clean and used cloth napkins. The restaurant has a upscale casual atmosphere fit for Williams. The food was good. Check out the house specials when you come out! A definite treat! read more

Situated on historic Route 66 the restaurant has a touch of elegance in the decor and staff presentation. I ordered the NY Strip with mashed potatoes and rice pilaf as sides. The steak was cooked to order and nicely seasoned. The rice and mashed potatoes were acceptable, although their flavors were only adequate. For example, the promise of garlic and horseradish were both undetectable in the mashed potatoes. My wife loved the flavors of her Western Corn Chowder soup, which came with a nice bread and a side salad. She did comment on the small soup portion and said, "If this is a bowl, I'd hate to see how small their cup of soup is." read more

Red Raven is our favorite restaurant in Williams! I always make a reservation ahead of time when we go. The restaurant is a bit more upscale than others in the area, but casual attire is still perfectly fine. You can really taste the quality of the food--it's a step above other places we've tried in Williams. My kids can be picky eaters, but they absolutely love the Chicken Parmigiana and baked lasagna and order them every time! As a family, we've enjoyed every dish we've tried here. read more

The portions were very small , but the prices were high. They shorted the drink that my partner got. Food was mediocre at best. Too much $ for too little food. Never again ! read more

I have uploaded an updated menu. A lot of the options in previous menu photos are unavailable and the prices are more expensive on the current menu. The food was decent. Cute place. Decent service. The portions were a bit small and things were overpriced. Meals also did not come with soup or salad. read more

The food, the service, the classic feel of a cozy restaurant were what made me feel this place was 5 star worthy. Reservations may be recommended during the weekend but we came here two days in a row, Wednesday and Thursday, and were sat immediately. We sat at the bar the first night. Quite small but I liked it. Felt cozy and like we were vip! I ordered their burger special the first night. Medium rare and it was perfect. I love onion rings in my burger but the Korean bbq sauce was what made this burger extra tasty. The bun was slightly toasted and everything tasted fresh and amazing. The second night I ordered their fish taco special. It was cooked fresh as well with a side of rice. That was good as well but nothing beat that flavorful burger. Nice comfy booths to sit at as well with tables in the center for more seating. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Thank you Deana and crew for our wonderful dinners! read more

We stopped by for lunch while visiting Williams. We looked at the other restaurants and chose this one because of its appealing brunch menu. The service was fast and amazing. The food tasted good. We had fajitas and a turkey sandwich. All tasted pretty good. My only disappointment was the size of the fajitas and the accompaniments. There was barely any rice, beans , guacamole and salsa. We will be back. read more

Super busy resturant in Williams. We had to wait like 30-45 mins on a Saturday night, which I guess is normal. It's right in the heart of downtown. The food was actually pretty good and the service was alright. The interior is mixed of booths and tables and it's kinda of on the dimmer side. The food is like a fusion mix which is interesting. read more

The hostess immediately said "no pets allowed" when she saw my service dog. When I explained it was a service animal, she demanded to see credentials, which is illegal under the ADA. Businesses can only ask if the animal is required for a disability and what task it performs - they cannot demand documentation. I showed my documentation to avoid conflict. The hostess then went to speak with the manager about my service dog. When she came back, she told me there was a reservation, and could accommodate me at 8:30pm (that was about two hours). I waited but was never called. It seems like this was just an excuse to keep me from dining there with my service dog. The staff definitely needs training on ADA laws and disability rights. This treatment was discriminatory and unacceptable. read more

Food was good. Restaurant was significantly undef staffed. We waited 20 minutes after they took our plates to put a dessert order in. Our waitress was commandeered to make drinks, they had no bartender. Our meal would up being over an hour and a half, and we missed an activity on our vacatio. read more

We were in William's this past weekend and decided to dip into the Red Raven. What a treat!! The staff was amazing and the food was excellent. I had the mahi and it was tender and cooked perfectly We look forward to our next trip so we can enjoy dining there again read more

Ambiance from outside & while in was misleading as looks like old diner type decor. Don't be mislead or walk away as not fancy but worth the bite! We had a waitress that was not very talkative so when asked what she recommends she gave us couple of choices. We went with Caprese salad and rolls for app - salad was good but small for 4. They loved the rolls with the butter. I ordered Malbec - excellent pair with my filet which was well seared and tender. We were worried about bacon wrap as often the chef elsewhere forget to cook it well and we always want the steak seared nicely. This chef got the job done cooked to our perfect temp, salted nicely as well! Vegetables were grilled perfectly not soggy but instead crispy! Our parents enjoyed their shrimp plates and would recommend it. If ever back in area we would come back! read more

Red Raven in Williams offers casual fine dining but delivered a mostly underwhelming experience despite its strong reputation. The meal was fine overall nothing disastrous, but lacking excitement and not justifying the premium pricing. Service was adequate but unremarkable. The lasagna stood out as genuinely good, providing a reliable comfort dish amid otherwise bland options. Rice pilaf was super bland and desperately needed seasoning, while the duck was chewy and poorly cooked. Salmon arrived undercooked and under-seasoned, making it thoroughly underwhelming, and the crème brûlée had curdled eggs that ruined the dessert. Staff checked in occasionally but lacked impressiveness or warmth in this cozy, historic Route 66 spot. The atmosphere suits Williams' tourist vibe near Grand Canyon, but it didn't elevate the meh experience. Skip Red Raven next time in Williams plenty of other spots to try instead of settling for dining that was just not great but was fine. read more

Visiting the Grand Canyon and stayed near Williams, so thought we'd give this place a try. Good meal and service

First time dining, in from out of town. The atmosphere is good. Lighting is on the dimmer side, which I like. The place is clean, tablecloth setting. Greeted by the one server on staff for the evening, short staffed due to the storm but the server managed all the tables in a timely manner. The server, Ethan is friendly and made the experience very pleasant. Food: wedge salad w/ side of steak. Asked for medium but it came out med rare. Other dish was a bacon wrapped filet w/ tempura fried broccolini which was excellent. Overall would definitely recommend! read more

Very few options for vegetarians and the tempura vegetables were not good- way too greasy. The decor was interesting in a good way- lots of conversations pieces. The service was ok- friendly but seemed slightly ... annoyed? The others in our group said their food was pretty good. read more

Made the mistake of ordering tempura vegetables (don't). Deep fried oily. Remove the batter and you have cooked vegetables. Meh. The wedge salad with grilled chicken was, well, a wedge of head lettuce with a grilled chicken breast. Some flavor would be nice. Maybe there are some good items on the menu we just missed them entirely. read more

I visited the Red Raven after taking a trip on the grand canyon railway with family. The Lemon Drops were the best they ever had so kudos to both bar tenders. Everything ordered was delicious we had the Korean wing appetizer, lasagna, smoked shrimp skewers, and a ribeye steak. The hospitality is top notch and you can tell the owner/manager knows what they are doing. I will definitely return if in the area. Thanks for a great evening! read more

Perhaps the best dining restaurant in Williams. The server was attentive and very nice. The food is very good. I wouldn't get the Mahi Mahi again, too dry. The salmon was excellent and so were the grilled shrimp. Nice interior atmosphere. read more

Good service, but really expensive food that was very mediocre. I got the steak and it was $55 for just the one plate. It was very mediocre meat and it tasted like packet gravy on top. Maybe it's paying for the atmosphere or something but to me it did not seem worth it at all. My wife got the chicken parm and it tasted like a microwaved frozen chicken patty. Super chewy and not well cooked at all. read more

You blink you can miss this place. Small red door and ring the door bell. Place is small when first entering but spacious in back. Ambience is good. Waitress greeted us & provided us a menu. Waitress provided very good service. We noticed all of staff was friendly and spoke with us. We were not hungry but needed to eat a light dinner because we had lunch at 1 & it was 6 pm. Husband had salad with chicken. I had soup of the day, lobster bisque & was delicious. Appetizer was zucchini & portobello mushrooms. Also good. Drinks was delicious. Very good customer service. Highly recommend. read more

Upon arriving to Williams we wanted to have a nice dinner on our first night. We are very glad we chose Red Raven as it was the perfect start to our vacation. The restaurant seating capacity is fairly small so during busy times a reservation is definitely recommended. However we got there right before the Friday night dinner rush and didn't have to wait. Our server was fantastic and the food was wonderful. We ordered iced teas, a Caesar salad, garlic smoked shrimp skewers and smothered portobello mushroom steak. We loved everything and whenever we come back to Williams we will eat here again for sure! read more

Grabbed dinner here while in town. Hostess was so friendly! Hubby ordered the Riley with mixed veggies and garlic mash. I ordered the filet with a wedge and garlic mash. The wedge was good but served in an oddly small dish which made it difficult to chop up. The steaks were perfect. Garlic mash was really good. Hubby loved his mixed veggies. Or server seemed put out by us or was just in a bad mood. Another server was very friendly, smiled every time she passed and even thanked us for coming as we were leaving. We wish she had been our server. We took the lemon berry cake to go... it was just ok. Wish we'd gotten the creme brulee. read more

We started with home made rolls and a seasoned butter . We had two, locally sourced, rib eye steaks medium rare done to perfection. The mashed potatoes were delicious, lightly seasoned with horseradish and garlic. I ordered an Olde Fashioned with Jameson Irish Whiskey with dinner, it was superb!!

This a really nice place, linens on the table, nice wait staff, ice water and simply decorated. We could not have asked for more! read more
