Moxies - you probably get the same thing in Calgary, but still a great place to eat. Again, fairly pricey, but the portions justify the cost. I love their Mango chicken, again bit pricey though
The Rock - a rock and roll themed pizzeria. Try the day-trippers, they are mini, dippable calzones. They have a lunch buffet, not bad
China Ben's - so far, the best Chinese Food I have found in Red Deer. The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired, but the food is top notch. You get 10% off any pick-up order over $20.Not tried
Menchies - not sure if this is in Calgary, but it's a self-serve frozen yogurt stand. Pick your own flavor and toppings/sauces, and pay based on weight. Tastes like soft-serve ice cream, if the thought of something similar to Yogen Fruz turns you off. Good stuff, the mango drops are amazing
Phils - several of them in Calgary as well, so you may have eaten there. Serves breakfast all day, and does it much better than places like Dennys and Smittys. Not outstanding by any means, but very reliable and you get what you pay for. We could only make fun of the place, but cheap
Las Palmeras - never eaten there myself, but I only ever hear good things. Mexican cuisine. Don't bother, not worth it
All that I can think of off the top of my head, but I'll post more if they come to me.

Ranch House on Gaetz & 71st is good. Their burgers are good, not pricey.
Shiso is good if you're into Sushi.
Cleopatras if you're into donairs.
Buster's Pizza, only for pizza though, not for donair.
Indian Flame is downtown, $15 lunch buffet, good food, Naan bread is amazing.
It's all Greek to me - Only go lunch time though, the price for the same food doubles at dinner time. You get a ton of food though.
Piccolos Pizza on Taylor is good as well.
Bo's is good for a night out (Red Deer Standards), decent food too, lotsa eye candy.
Mucho Burrito is decent as well.
Mr. Mikes is ok but pricey.
That's all I can think of.
