We were looking for a good steakhouse in Williams. Red Raven was it! Excellent food with a great presentation. Alicia was our server and she was very attentive and food was brought out in a timely manner. Great ambiance and located right on Route 66 in a part of town that is fun to explore. Highly recommend if you are looking for a higher end restaurant. read more

Had Valentine's Day dinner last night and it was great. The new york strip with horseradish mashed potatoes was perfect and the lobster bisque was the best I ever had. Only downside was it took 13 minutes to get a menu and drink order. The older hispanic lady, when we arrived at our reservation time, didn't look too happy to setup our table. She just threw a tablecloth on the table, sat us and left, didn't say a word. Finally our server, Ethan, arrived and was surprised we didn't have menus. He apologized for the inconvenience and proceeded with our order. Ethan's professionalism as a server made the rest of our evening nice. Can't wait to come back and try the other dishes on the menu. read more

Great experience! Wonderful food and amazing atmosphere and friendly staff. Will visit again.

Great service and very good home cooked food. Very reasonable and a large variety to select from. Pork tenderloin was delicious. Wife also loved her Salmon Deserts were amazing read more

Red Raven was fantastic! The service was excellent and I deeply enjoyed the cozy vibe. Their duck was some of the best I've ever had!

This place was recommended to us by a local which usually leads to great places. This was not the case with Red Raven. When visiting Red Raven the front door is locked and you must ring a doorbell to be let in. This is an attempt to limit disruptions to diners which I can appreciate, it was just a bit odd. The decor is fine. The food is where Red Raven really falls flat. We got the duck and a steak. The duck was cooked well and came with what seemed like canned cranberry sauce and rice-a-roni. The steak was cooked well. The brussel sprouts that accompanied were obviously frozen. The end result was mushy and inedible. Red Raven just didn't have worth for the price they were charging. When in Williams, Az. save your money and go to the many other delicious and memorable places that don't charge a premium without justifying it. read more

Duck was amazing. Decent service. Would definitely go back if I'm in town again. Make a reservation though, it's a smaller area and very busy! read more

We are part time locals and this is 2nd time here. And the last Portions are small and over priced like every restaurant in this tourist town 3 of us got the egg plant parmesian and 3 of us were disappointed There was nothing extra or even a side salad 5 star reviews? No way read more

The rest of my party wanted to go to the Italian restaurant across the street but I really wanted to try this place.... I should have listened to them. The absolute worst service I have ever experienced in my life. My sandwich came out and it wasn't even edible (the bread was wet. Not soggy, WET!). I was hungry so the last thing I wanted to do was complain, I just wanted to enjoy a sit down lunch with my family. Long story short, the waiter talked to me as if I was a child and literally said "then you shouldn't have ordered it!" My jaw hit the floor, and I said "excuse me?" (because I really wasn't sure if he said what he did and I wanted to make sure I wasn't hearing things) and he, very confidently, repeated his snarky comment, OVER AND OVER. It was awful. Everyone else in my party said the food was ok, nothing great. Overall, food was ok, overpriced for what you get, NO KIDS MENU (so they can either make them noodles or a grilled cheese.... those are your kids options), it took forever for the food to come to the table and the staff (George, our waiter) was the rudest person I have ever met in my life.. Not only did I still leave with a bill (yes, the horrible sandwich was removed but not even a free soft drink drink was offered for the rude service), I was still hungry and left in tears because of they way I was treated. I didn't ask for gross, inedible food that took WAY too long. All I wanted was an enjoyable afternoon and a good lunch with my family. There are many, many other options for dining while in Williams and I highly recommend taking your business somewhere else. I will tell everyone to stay away and never, ever go to this place. Yes, I understand that it was one waiter, however, the management is responsible for who they hire. The manager heard the whole thing and said that she would talk to him in private yet he can degrade me in front of the entire restaurant and my children. George, if you're reading this... Let me say that I understand that we all have bad days but it is no excuse to ever talk down to someone. Whatever you were going through, I will pray for you and hope that you have better days ahead. If you don't learn patience, I highly suggest that you look for other employment options in another industry that may be better suited for you. if not, you are in for long days ahead that will only lead unhappy customers and will add to your frustration. read more

Amazing food and dessert. If you want a fabulous dinner with adults and no screaming children anywhere? Go to this place!!!!!! I had the duck and chocolate cake so good. This place is the gem of Williams. Service is also outstanding. If I could give this place 10 stars I would read more

Very expensive service was great my food was good except for the asparagus was not cooked enough

Food was good, service subpar. How do you eat a $41 steak without a steak knife? You either wait for one or hack into it with the butter knife on the table. The server never noticed or realised, but, they did refill my beverage. Looks like a cross between a 50s diner and a country kitchen. Tip was automatically included. Maybe that's why the service was not so great, they don't have to worry about the auto 18% they get. read more

We really liked our dinner at Red Raven. We had steaks that were delicious with garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. Everything was cooked just perfect. Service was top notch. Setting and ambience was casual and comfortable but nice. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends. read more

Good food, good service, the wait staff is always super friendly, happy and upbeat. Their food is delicious and their drink menu is wonderful. They have a very extensive wine list and I always enjoy whatever it is I order. The duck is my favorite. read more

Great service and friendly people. Special of the night was a sirloin steak which was great. I had the pork loin which was a little dry but well seasoned. Great stop and would return if in town read more

The Hostess with the Mostest! Visited Red Raven on 4.17.21. Got seated. My wife and I viewed the menu. Everything looked and smelled great, but we both decided, on a whim, that Mexican food would better suit the evening. We walked toward the front door and informed the hostess we would be leaving. Get this. She said, "Thanks for wasting our time." I turned and said, "Did you just say that?" She said, "I did." It bugged me, but I exited. I reconsidered and re-entered. She said, "Did you forget something?" I said, "Would you like your name attached to our Google review?" She said, "Do whatever you like, sir!" and shut the door in my face. Since she didn't want to provide her name - late 40s? Auburn-brown hair? (Hard to tell with Covid masks.) Recommend Carl's Jr. over Red Raven. read more

Our food was good, but the service was only okay. The dining room was not very full, yet our waitress continued forgetting dishes that we ordered. Not a bad place to stop! read more

Excellent service very nice and muey bonita! The Asian chicken wings were the best I've ever had very laxed and chill ambiance warm comforting. A tid bit pricey. I'd say worth it my dad said best chicken Parm he's ever had keep up the good work! read more

After a long drive and a craving for good food, this restaurant is not the place. The food was mediocre at best and we left the place still hungry. We ordered the garlic smoked shrimp and the portobello mushroom, which sounded delicious, but came out okay. The asparagus lacked seasoning and the brussels weren't tender enough. Even the main part of the entree was lack luster. The shrimp was dry and didn't have the garlic flavor to it, just all smoked. The mushroom was soggy and didn't have much flavor, along with the vegetables on top. We didn't bother with dessert, seeing how poor our food was. The only redeeming quality I would give this restaurant is the service and the ambiance. Our waiter, Ethan, was wonderful and always made sure we were doing all right. read more

Food was excellent but beware they charge a 20% service fee for a party of 4 that does not count as a tip!!

Great place and yummy food. Wait staff was very good. Cilantro Salmon was fantastic. We were very pleased.

Now, this was one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. I am still curious why it's a 4-star on here but man!, it was perfect for my wife and I. We were welcome with a lovely smile by Deanna and our server was outstanding! The food was delicious and the service was fast and excellent. This is a must go restaurant if you are ever looking for the best spot in Williams, AZ. We loved it!! read more

Another 5 star review for the Red Raven. Service was outstanding, food was good and perfectly cooked. Ambiance is comfortable, classy and understated. This is by far the best restaurant in Williams. We detoured here for the night just to eat here. We'll be back anytime we're in Northern AZ. read more

We have dined here in the past and we were so impressed with the food and ambiance that we decided to try it again. We did not post a review the last time but we felt it was worth a 4.5. This time we decided to post our experiences. We were impressed with our initial contact with the hostess, she a so cordial and helpful. We made a reservation for 6:15 and they had our table ready on time. The service was very competent and efficient. They have an adequate wine list and cocktails. Our Pinot was very nice. Try the smoked shrimp skewers, it was a homerun. We had two separate entrees, the salmon Oscar special was outstanding. The lamb missed the mark. It was over cooked but the sauce kept us from sending it back. The ambiance is really nice but not too pretentious. Casual attire is completely acceptable. We will be back. read more

It's very difficult for me to give a 5-star review. But it feels disingenuous to give this place anything less. I've paid some ridiculous prices for a steak dinner. Some deliver, some don't. But this place... from the stellar service, to the food... it beats them all. It is decisively the best ribeye steak I have ever had. Worth. Every. Penny. If you leave Williams without trying the ribeye steak at this restaurant... then you didn't experience what this town has to offer. read more

Great food and service. Highly recommend. This is a fine restaurant. Complements to the chef and all staff. So happy to have discovered this restaurant! read more

Very pleasant atmosphere and service. Food was very good and well presented. Had dinner there Tuesday and enjoyed it so much we went back Wednesday. Reasonably priced wine list. Was it perfect? No, but then neither am I read more

People there are so rude. we sat down and about to have my medicine. A lady came to me and asked me to drink it outside and told me that there's no outside drink after I told her this is my medicine and she told me she didn't know what is it inside of it. so she asked me if we want to eat there, I have to take it outside, finish drink it then can come back it. Of course we left right the way. We do not want any negative energy. And they just $200 revenue because they don't allow me to drink my medicine. By the way, it's 40° outside. read more

Awesome place. As @C.S. said, get the duck, you won't be disappointed. And other options worth the value.

This restaurant is in an old historic building in downtown Williams. Went without reservations but the owner was very accommodating and found us a seat. Next time I would def try to get a seat in the front window which is great for people watching. Everything we tried was delicious. Hubby had a steak and I opted for some soup and appetizers. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable without being obtrusive. Wanted to try dessert but couldn't handle it. Maybe next time! read more

Great food great service with my friends and the decor was nice to look at all of it and the reservations was great timing

Location is great, do recommend a reservation, food is amazing every time we come here but it does take a while. We don't mind the time we prefer not to feel rushed but we did see someone get really frustrated with the time they had spent read more

We were undecided on places to go eat and ended up here. We had great service and the food was delicious. Surprised by the atmosphere and how nice the dining room was. read more

Scrumptious!!! We just pulled into town, tired and hungry. Red Raven looked appealing and we are not unhappy this was our choice. Hubby had the Guinness Bistro Stew and I had the Grilled Salmon Salad. We both had the lobster bisque soup. The soup was full of lobster meat and had a bit of a kick. The stew was phenomenal! It was bursting with flavor from the melt in your mouth lamb and fresh herbs. I couldn't stop dipping my bread in his bowl. My salad seemed to have been just picked from a garden. It was pre tossed with a ginger sesame dressing and pine nuts. Our waiter, Luis was super nice to us. I told him I was born and raised in NYC and if I didn't know better I would have thought we were in a chic Manhattan gourmet restaurant. It was that good! We are only here for a few days and I want to go back! read more

My review is for the waitress not the restaurant in general. Waitress was not so friendly, rushing us out. Good is a bit over priced. Time for owner to say, wait what us going on, before customers go elsewhere read more

Back to our favorite restaurant in our favorite Route 66 town. Tonite we both ordered Salmon. The Little Colonel (code for da boss) had the Basil Buttered Salmon with couscous and mixed vegies. I had char broiled Salmon with grilled Asparagus and baby potatoes. Both meals were presented and prepared to perfection. Based on prior visits our expectations tonight were high. As usual service and quality were top shelf. read more

food was terrible I had the salmon and it was way overcooked and dry as well as the couscous saving grace was the waiter was very friendly and good and it is a nice atmosphere but hopefully you are not seated by the door because it was cool with people coming in and out I would not recommend read more

Wife and I were driving through to see the Grand Canyon and came across this gem - excellent, friendly service and delicious food. I live in Oregon, so I won't be back for a long time, but wish it was in my town. Plenty of parking and the ambiance is great. read more
