Great place to unwind from the day. Service was great! Food was amazing! Great place to relax and enjoy a wonderful dinner.
Excellent service very friendly waitresses we came in on a Friday afternoon for lunch service, the place was busy however the service was fast. We ordered steak tips with Parmesan fries, an order of tator tots and an order of cornbread. All the food came out hot and delicious seriously it was really really good food. The portions were also very very size, good for sharing.
Unexpected goodness! This place was a nice surprise. The atmosphere was very open with high vaulted ceilings, nice decoration and friendly staff. I also loved the offering on the menu. Anyone who likes grill/bbq this place is for you. They have lots of wings and ribs, burgers and home style meals. We ordered the jumbo tater tots, ribs and wings, a Cobb salad and everything was good. We will def be back!
Baked Haddock: 10/10 Southern Fried Chicken: 10/10 The food was amazing, the staff was great and very attentive. The place is also very clean, modern, and has some cool art around the restaurant. 10/10 would recommend
We came hollerin into the great state of Massadonga for a little miss’s birthday celebration. Finding ourselves with a little time before our scoot back home and in need of some grub for the shortstack we found this fine tavern establishment via this helpful application: Goomble Maps! We navigated there and did NOT stop at Five Guise or Average Joe’s although they looked mighty tempting in that self same parking lot as the illustrious tavern. We made an easy entry into the establishment and I can’t comment on the host situation since we were there with mimi and weewee (short for wezl but that’s a story for another time) and they had already procured a table from the seater person along with a booster chair for the shortstack! When it comes to food this place has it all! Meats. Salids. Tacos and dillas. Pictures of USDA. Pretzels the size of satern. We did not get the tots although many another fine Goomble Reviewer has commented on the. Great kids menu with a fine selection for the young foodies out there for a very affordable rate! Despite being named the Red Meat Tavern we enjoyed much non-carnivorous fair. Changing tables in mens and women’s rooms could use a screw or two but what’s a diaper change without a little risk if you know what I mean!!. A great time was had by all, Red Hot Chile Pepper Tavern indeed! Rest in Peace Bobby Weir!
Never been in a single restaurant that makes the medium rare patty for me as ordered. But this restaurant did. It was perfect medium rare patty juicy on the burger! Also enjoyed other menus like wings, onion rings, and cauliflower cheese. Seats are plenty and spacious. Saw families with kids and various groups of people either for friendship or workship. The parking lot is huge.
The steak and avocado bowl was really really good! Nice flavors, ingredients, doneness, texture, display, and all. The skilette cornbread is a must. Crumbly yet great flavor. We'd go back!
Had a great time here, food was reasonably priced and the drinks were great. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Great Experience at Red Heat Tavern! I had an excellent visit to Red Heat Tavern. The Chicken Birria Tacos were fantastic—full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Service was quick and attentive, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable, a great place to relax and enjoy a good meal. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area!
Eaten here two times in two weeks. This week I had the steak and avocado bowl and salted caramel cheesecake for dessert. Absolutely delicious!!! I dont remember what the chicken dish i had was called. Consistently delicious every visit. Huge portions, enough to take home for a second meal. Awesome service. Food always arrives quick and hot. Atmosphere is comfortable and upbeat. I did manage to get a picture of dessert this time and our entrees from the last visit. So so good! It is a little pricey but the generous portion sizes and quality of food make it worth it.
