Awesome! Felt really old school. It would probably be sad if it was updated because it has a home town feel!!!!! There was a party of 6 of us and the waitress was awesome and we all ate our entire meals! So good! Will forsure be back next time we go to the casino!Kid-friendliness: Laid back and room for them to run around if need be!

I was transported back to the 50’s. I enjoyed the old fashion atmosphere even the music made me think 5O’s. They will accept credit cards but will add 40 percent charge. So best to use cash. Their prices are very reasonable. I had the Red Cafe special. Hamburger and fries. Fries were golden brown and thick. The way I like them. I wish they had put onion on my hamburger but it was still very good. My husband ordered number One breakfast. The bacon had lots of flavor. He had me taste it. Glad we stopped here.

My husband and I love small town cafes, so we were excited to check out the Red Apple. There's nothing terribly wrong with it, but there's nothing great about it either. It's mostly clean, but the accommodations are old in a dingy, run-down sort of way. The food was very so- so. Nothing special... but again, it wasn't terrible. The service was great. Our waitress was friendly, amusing, and cheery, and she wasn't intrusive (which is also important!). Overall, I would eat there again without complaint if I was in the area and that was all that was available, but I would never seek it out or bypass other options to do so.

Meh. They were out of a lot of items. Their food wasn't anything special. I could have made a much better BLT. The place is VERY outdated, but the town is tiny, so all of this makes sense. The ladies there were super nice, just wasn't my cup of tea. We needed someplace to eat besides the casino we stayed at and this was literally the only option.

Great food found in an unexpected place, the staff were wonderful with our little kids! Tried the frybread cheeseburger and liked it, not too greasy. Come before 1:30pm, unless you want carryout as they are currently short on staff. Paying cash is advised.

I read the reviews and we ate there cuz it was a 4 out of 5! The food was good and the service was good as well! She was very attentive and responsive. And she had a great smile! The place is busy and you need a little patience when you go in! Typical diner food, great prices and worth the time!!

Went with my mom and my two daughters 3&4 years old. Very friendly wait staff and great service. The girls loved their Mac n cheese and my mom and myself had breakfast and surely enjoyed it!

Red Apple is a nice little spot. We aren't from this town. We came here for a job we did, and had to use Google to find a nearby place to eat. I had an omlet with hash browns and toast. The food was good and the waitress was nice. I recommend stopping if you're in the area.

i have been coming here my whole life and just recently got to come back after not living in the area for a long time, and it was still the same as it's been and that's awesome with friendly smiling staff who are attentive and courteous with great food at reasonable prices for those like me who don't have much...as well as being, at the same time, a place where the local wealthy enjoy themselves too as it's holds a good reputation amongst more than a few that I have visited and traveled with...thank you for the memories so far and it's admirable in my opinion in this area to be in operation for so long....I hope to return.... thanks again for your services and friendliness.... much love and peace and respect

Friendly place, good food. It has a high level of small town hospitality. The kind of place where the local law enforcement gets a warm hello, even the sheriff can't get by sitting at a table used by the local coffee groups, and the coffee keeps coming.The hot beef was a great throwback to my high school job at the local diner.

We brought our 91 yr old Mother out for lunch- they set up table in the back room to accommodate her & the rest of us comfortably.

Been going to the red apple since I was just a baby. As always, its affordable, delicious and well staffed. I went here for the first time in years with a friend today and it was wonderful. I highly recommend their steak and eggs.

Hands down the worst food ive had. Im sorry i normally dont complain but this was bad. The staff however were very friendly.the chicken strips were goid. Fries soggy, roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy inedible. My mom and dad choked down 1/2 of it before i tasted it and i couldn't do 1 bite. My mom and dad are way too polite.
