“ As the wife of someone with Celiac disease this restaurant was fantastic! Color coded plates to show gluten free dishes, anything on the menu can be made gluten free on request, service was fantastic and accommodating. All around A as far as gluten free dining- and everything tasted fantastic that wasn’t gluten free (on my end) as well. We will definitely be going back again and again and sharing with friends! ”
“ We went to Red Heat Tavern on the suggestion of a friend who commended the restaurant for catering to people with gluten allergies like my wife. Well, I can say the recommendation was 100% on point. My wife was very happy with her gluten free burger and my Harvest Bowl with grilled shrimp was exceptional. I was also impressed with the craft beer menu as there were multiple selections of beers I wanted to try. We will definitely be back and recommend Red Heat to others. ”
“ Our first time at this location. We were seated very quickly for a Sund. Our waitress was great and really nice. I would say this place is worth the money. The food is great quality and a very generous serving size. The wings were nice and crispy and the cornbread was the best cornbread I've ever tried and pairs great with the butter. I recommend the country fried chicken. You get 2 big piece of chicken. I couldn't finish so I took the second piece home and ate it the next day. The kids burger is a big burger for the kid meal which is great! We also had mac and cheese with BBQ chicken and the steak tips. Everything was fantastic. And we finished off with a cookie skillet. Yum! ”
“ We went here because we got a gift card for one of the shops in the area and I love trying new places and we really enjoy pubs. It gives off more of a restaurant/sports bar feel inside. The door to go on is a cool revolving door. We ordered the loaded tots which were delicious, the smokey ketchup it comes with is like a barbecue ketchup mix that was unique and tasty. I got the BBQ burger, it was cooked perfectly and was a good burger. The fries were crispy and seasoned perfectly. My son got the Mac and cheese with pulled pork which he ate silently (which means he loved it, normally he talks our ears off) and my husband got a sandwich that he enjoyed. Service was attentive, polite, And everyone working did a great job for a busy lunch rush. ”
