    This is the sign

    Very good food. Me and the bros had some fun eating. Sign said children left here with be sold as slaves, so that's a perk if you have a child you don't like. Overall food was yummy. Good experience before we shred on the mountain. Over all it was ridonculously good!

    Breakfast Sandwich with hash browns

    Fantastic breakfast spot before skiing! The service was super quick and they were very nice. Everything on the menu looked good and wasn't overwhelming. My favorite was the sandwich and tej hash browns

    Breakfast on a Bun with Sausage and side of Hash Browns
    Taste B.

    Shotgun Willies Cafe is located on the main strip in Red River, NM and is in walking distance to the Lift House. Don't blink, otherwise you may miss the tiny building position to hold up an entire corner. The service is friendly. You walk up to the counter to place your order and return a few minutes later to pick up your food. The decor is an array of pictures, quotes and jokes on the wall. The menu is simple and there is a direct view into the kitchen, where the Cook seems to use one skillet top grill for all items. This brings true life to the term greasy spoon. HaHa! The food is pretty good though. Food Review: Breakfast Sandwich on a Bun - large sausage patty on top of an egg with cheese folded inside of it, resting on a buttery lightly toasted bun was delicious. It was one of my best breakfast items on this trip. Hash Browns - average cooked and tasting. They were just ok. They were crispy and fully cooked though.

    Great food, fast service, great staff, would for sure recommend this place if you are in Red River

    Chopped Barbecue Sandwich with tater tots

    Mostly outside seating, nice and friendly service. The chopped barbecue sandwich & tots were delicious. We will be back next time we are in town.

    We ordered fried catfish plate, loaded baked potato with brisket and a Bean bowl and were all pretty good.

    Texas Reds Steakhouse - 10 oz ribeye

    I will show mad love to Texas Reds Steakhouse because this is what we have been wanting since we…read morearrived in New Mexico!! Flavor, seasoning and something other than Mexican food! lol. Don't get me wrong, we love Mexican food, but nothing can beat our TexMex! Beware they are open 7 days a week for the holidays until 5 Jan. They open at 4:30. When you come in, it's beautifully decorated for Christmas! They have a fire burning where you can wait and not definitely had a rustic feel to it! They sat us next to the fire which was really nice for it being cold outside. Our server was very attentive, nice and knowledgeable. The menus were pretty spiffy too as it looked like an old newspaper clipping! They had a variety of steak and also had different animal options like elk & bison. The prices were a bit steep but given the quality and how well they executed the meal, I would say it was well worth it! You are offered a pretzel like bread with butter while ordering. Our waiter was on it and he continued to fill our drinks before we could even ask for more! What we ordered: - Bison ribeye (medium+): this was a gem! If you've never had bison before, don't get scared! It tastes just like cow only it's better for you! The cook was perfection and the seasoning on point! My 13 year old ordered it and devoured it! He had initially asked for A1 sauce but because it was flavored so well, opted not to use it. He said it was one of the best steaks he has ever had! - Ground Elks (medium) w/ chile and grilled onions: it comes dry but our waiter suggested adding green chile and onions to it (beware that's an $11 up charge). It was flavored well, cooked well and tasted amazing. My husband never had elk and said it was really good. Tasted just like ground beef with just a hint of something different. - 12 oz New York sirloin (medium): cooked to perfection, seasoned perfectly and topped it with a garlic/butter compound. My daughter, who rarely eats anything more than a 3oz, ate more than half because she liked it that much. - 10oz ribeye (medium): cooked and flavored to perfection again!! On top of that, it was so tender and melted like butter in my mouth! It was so smooth, and just an amazing quality I hadn't had in such a long time. While ribeye comes fatty, this was utter perfection! I typically only eat about 4-5 oz, but ate the entire thing! If we decide to come back to this area, we will definitely stop here! If you want a good steak, go here!!!

    Quite an underwhelming restaurant that charges more than the other surrounding spots. The interior…read morelooked cool and they had a live guitar player to match the vibes. The service was kind of bad where our waitress was not very helpful and all of the steaks in the table were temps below warm. The steak I had was a bit undercooked and was the coldest of them all. The butter on top did not even come close to melting. We sent our steak back to the kitchen to get reheated, which is something I never do. The reheated steak was just a bit better, and they forget to add the butter in it. At this point we should have just had a brand new steak. The added quail on the plate was a bit overcooked. I highly recommend going elsewhere on this street that did not disappoint this badly.
