We specialize in BBQ, fresh (never frozen) hamburgers and have the best breakfast in town! We offer friendly counter service and are open year round to serve you. Family and pet friendly, Shotgun's is a great place to come in and enjoy some fresh hot food made to order or just stop in for a cup of coffee and hang out. Shotgun's is also the original home of the O.F.G's (Old Farts Group). This group, created by Carl Hodges, is a fun group of "Old Farts" that made Shotgun Willie's their original home. They tell stories, sing songs and tell jokes while they hang out and drink coffee. At one time they even had a key to the restaurant so they could come in at 5:00am to put the coffee on to brew.

Midweek in the mountains has its own pace.

Take a break from the road, cool off with a scoop of ice cream, pick up some house-made beef jerky, and enjoy a little time on Main Street before heading to your next stop.

Red River is too good to drive straight through.

What’s your pick today… a cone, a bag of jerky, or both?

Some places become businesses.

Others become part of a town’s story.

For decades, Shotgun Willie’s has welcomed locals, skiers, hunters, fishermen, Jeepers, families, and visitors looking for a great meal before heading out to make memories.

Now this Red River tradition is ready for its next chapter.

Whether you’ve stopped in once or a hundred times, chances are you’ve got a Shotgun Willie’s story.

Here’s to honoring the past… and whoever gets the opportunity to write the next chapter.

❤️ Red River has always been about great people, great food, and community. We can’t wait to see what’s next.
