Food Truck at Chatham Airport

Outstanding meal at Red River BBQ! The Brisket and Prime Rib were so tender and bursting with flavor. Chicken wing appetizer crispy on the outside so tender and delicious on the inside. The entire staff is so friendly! Can't wait to return!

Onions rings

The service and food is amazing at this restaurant. We ordered the wings, full rack if ribs, fish and chips and the onion rings. The portion of fish I received was enormous for me and it was thick. The onions rings were sliced so thin and had an amazing seasoned batter on them. Ribs were so easy to eat off the bone and the sauce that came with it was perfect. The wings were huge! 50¢ wings right now, with a crisp. We will definitely be back.

Barbecue ribs with coleslaw, corn bread, and fries.

Decided to try this place given the previous reviews. We were greeted and seated immediately in the dining room in the front of the restaurant, which was good as they had live music in the other room. Between the music and that room being full it would have been difficult to have a conversation. Our server appeared immediately to ask if we had been there before and did we have any questions. He yolk our drink order while we looked over the menu which is not large but has a good selection of entrees and starters. We asked if the tater tots app could be adjusted somewhat and were told the kitchen probably wouldn't do that so we ordered the corn fritters. The corn fritters arrived and unfortunately they were fried way too long making them very hard to eat and very dry inside. The maple dipping sauce helped to add moisture. The entrees were the pulled pork sandwich and the 1/2 order of ribs. Both dishes came with French fries and artery sauce. The ribs came with a small amount of barbecue sauce to dip the meat into. Would have been good if the pork came with it as well. The pulled pork was very juicy and was served on a hamburger bun. The ribs had good flavor but it was good to have the added barbecue sauce as they were a little on the dry side. There was also a small slice of corn bread which was excellent. Very soft and tasty. The fries were a good sized portion, well fried and crispy .the coleslaw was unremarkable and didn't add to the meal. The cost for dinner was not bad considering the amount food that we were given. Seating was comfortable and once the music stopped the atmosphere was pretty good. We had a split decision on whether we were looking at a 3 or 4. We're at 3.5 I'd say but rounded up to a 4. I don't think we'll make a return trip unfortunately.

Every time I come to the Cape, I search for BBQ, and I am almost always disappointed at how few options I find . Red River put an end to the disappointment. It is a combination of a welcoming atmosphere, a nice variety of food options, and extremely friendly and helpful staff. My dinner group was larger, and I saw on their website that they consider their restaurant small, so I called in advance. They said they could accommodate us but were not sure if we'd need to be seated at two smaller tables, but we were okay with that. It turns out they were able to seat us at one large table in their main room. The atmosphere there was casual and pleasant, with interesting wall decor and paintings for sale. The other room has the bar and is a bit more trendy. We were greeted almost immediately, and we were treated to the same quality level of service the entire evening. I would think the main draws here would be the bbq plates, which come with dense corn bread, coleslaw, and your choice of a side. I was able to sample all of them, and among them, the mac and cheese was my favorite. My potato salad had a very "freshly made" taste to it, and those at my table who ordered fries enjoyed their flavor. If you're not interested in a bbq plate, other options include entrees such as a shrimp basket, and various sandwiches and burgers. Also, all of our dinners came out at the same time, a big plus for a large dinner group. The only thing I thought might have been slightly off was the cocktail two of us ordered, a Lion's Tail. I like these because they use Allspice Dram. The drink should have a complex flavor combining the allspice, lime, and the sweetness of a syrup, but in this case the lime overwhelmed the drink, perhaps as in too much lime juice, not enough dram or syrup. Both of us agreed. Beyond that, all others at our table were completely pleased with their drinks, and this was certainly not something I would consider as any significant issue. It was a treat to find Red River, as well as a treat to dine here. I wish them success, because I hope to be back for future Cape visits.

2 of these were undercooked and on the whole, not very flavorful.

The barbecue in this joint is delicious, at least the Pulled Pork that I had was. Tender, luscious and the RRBBQ sauce was just terrific. Enough left over for a pork and slaw sandwich the next day. Our server kindly popped in some extra sauce for me without asking. In spite of the fact that the mac and cheese was a little dry and not hot, and while 2 of my corn fritters were undercooked, we'll definitely go back. All places have hiccups and should be revisited, especially with pulled pork like this!

Fish and Chips

Visited Friday, July 26, 2024 in the afternoon between lunch and supper. Only one other party was there, likely due to the time of day and the phenomenal beach day weather after three days of on/off rain. Restaurant was clean, orderly and well laid out. The server Jess was friendly and helpful throughout. My wife started with a Red River Spicy martini which was excellent. They offer a variety of mixed drinks, wines, and a respectable selection of beers in bottles or on tap. I had a Cape Cod Beer Beach Blonde draft which was very good. Ordered 1/2 rack spare ribs that came with cornbread, coleslaw, and potato salad (other side options available). Meat was perfectly cooked and fell off the bone. BBQ sauce was delicious. Everything was excellent including potato salad that included little cuts of mozzarella. My wife tried the RRB tater tots that were very tasty. My daughter ordered fish and chips (always a risk at a bbq joint) but the fish was perfectly cooked as were the fries. In spite of good portions, no food was left over which is very unusual for us. Best meal we had all week and will definitely return. Red River BBQ is officially on our got to list!

Mine was the bRaised Short Ribs over garlic mashed with fresh green beans (undercooked, but okay by me). Dave had the Scallop & Butternut Squash casserole. He did not like the balsamic glaze on top but ate around it and cleaned the plate. My short ribs were fork tender and the gravy was superb. I took half home and will be my lunch in a few minutes! No desserts as we were like overstuffed sausages when we left. Very nice place for a good meal with great staff, attention to detail and patrons needs. I never had to ask for anything...Ruby knew what was needed and brought it without delay. WE will most definitely be back!

We decided to go here as the restaurant was close by, looked popular, and the menu was clear on…read morewhich options were gluten-free, and we really wanted to try some fish and chips. Luckily they had gluten-free fish and chips. However, after waiting over an hour for our food, the fish and chips came out completely inedible. It was like they forgot it in the fryer or something. It was rock hard and the fish was completely soaked in oil. The server was very nice, and offered to take it off of our check or have the kitchen redo the order. We had it taken off of our check because of the extremely long wait and dissatisfaction with how it came out the first time. It's fish and chips, not ratatouille. The red pepper gnocchi was good, but definitely an appetizer size. The salad was a salad, thankfully it was edible. I want to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt, but it was not busy, so I'm not exactly sure what happened in the kitchen. Due to this experience, I would not recommend this restaurant.

Go for the beer menu and the fried pickles, DON'T stay for dinner…read more Good extensive beer menu Delicious fried pickle appetizer Decent indoor and outdoor seating Please dear lord do not order the steak. I pride myself on not wasting food, but man it was hard to eat a completely unseasoned steak with just a slab of butter on it. No salt, no pepper, no seasoning AT ALL. We ultimately asked for bbq sauce to help get it down but really I cannot understand how the fried pickle batter was so well seasoned and this steak came out completely UNSEASONED. I would ONLY come here again if my family members were inclined to drink more of the unique beer menu. I would definitely not order past the apps menu

I heard so many good things about this place, but it was all lies! Just had the worst experience…read morethere and will never go back. I went for their current advertised Lobster roll special at $23.99. Ordered Exactly as advertised and was charged $25.99. I asked first if it was all claw and knuckle or if they use tail meat too. Oh, definitely both , she exclaimed! I found one small mangled piece of tail at the bottom and it included a sharp piece of shell that hurt my tongue. I told them and showed her the shell. All she did was explain how they try to get it all but they just can't sometimes. I looked at her and said that they aren't doing it right. I asked if she was going to offer me a partial refund and she refused. The Lobster bisque was not a bisque and I don't think there was any lobster in the kitchen when it was made, much less in the pot!! Cole slaw was covered in spicy pepper and neither of us could eat it. Fries were meh! My husband had the fried scallop platter and they were overcooked and super greasy. Disgustingly so. I DK why people like this place but there are so many good places around here where you can get a full service meal, in a real restaurant cooked by real trained chefs and served by professionals who know how to make consumers happy. Total bill with tip was $84.07!!! For a crappy meal with no service and not a clue about customer service. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this garbage.

Highest of recommendations!…read more Right in Route 28 as you head into Chatman Shopping District. Plenty of parking and open year round. Like the old Caswell's in Marshfield, you buy at a counter, they give you a number, and you sit on down as food is brought to you. The inside of Mac's is very clean and spacious, and has about twenty tables. There is seating outside - seasonal and today is January, with snow... so we stayed inside. Started off with the Mac's Clam Chowder which was a lovely milk broth - just as good as the chowder at the Clark Cooke House in Newport, Rhode Island! Homemade, flavorful and not jammed with excessive potatoes or onion; the clams were cooked well. I had the fish soup, looked almost like Portuguese Kale, but was very delicious, had a bit of heat to it, the fish was downright incredible; the carrots, celery, and onions were cooked to perfection. We usually get some raw bar, and they have a nice selection of little necks, cherry stones, and oysters, but today for us it was a pound and half of steamed clams. Plump, clean, and sand free. Just as good as those at Mattakeese Wharf Restaurant. Lobster... I asked for a two pounder, and got a 2.5 pounder. Fresh, delicious, succulent, and sweet. Wonderful and hard working staff. No negatives whatsoever.

Didn't really get the hype. I've definitely had better clam chowder and lobster rolls. The chowder…read morewas more on the liquidy/watery side and the lobster roll would've been 100x better if they added more butter and warmed the lobster meat up. Some pieces of lobster tasted odd.
