Pork Chops are boneless thin & dry with no BBQ sauce basted on them when cooked. The baked potato was hard, dry and cooked hours before being served. The shrimp is seasoned and cooked well, best part of the meal. Sitting outside next to the hwy where the gas pumps must have been years ago with the big friendly dog talking with friends was such a treat.
Review Source:This restaurant sits in an old converted gas station in the middle of - well- pretty much nowhere. Â The first time my friends took me to Red's I was a bit disconcerted. Â The appearance from the outside reminded me of a scene from a scary movie (you know the ones - where the teens walk into a gas station in the middle of ??? and are never heard from again). Â However, after tasting the food - the decor no longer mattered.
I had the half chicken and it was so tender it literally melted in the mouth - it was amazing. Â My husband ordered the steak ribeye and it was tasty and amazing - cooked perfectly. Â Our friends ordered the fish which was flaky and delicious, and a large enough portion for at least two. Â
We've been back twice now and leave satisfied every time.
Walked into Southern Red's...finally think I figured out why it's called by that name...The two young boys wrestling on the floor behind the counter were as red headed as the rest...they reminded me of the two Smucker's boys in the commercial about preserves of the same name...I later got their names as Matthias and Noah...bus boys in training.
I ordered a full slab of ribs...usually I find more meat that way...oh...fall off the bone sweetness with that smokey flavor...packed full of meat ...dropping off both ends of the platter!...( I had to take half the slab with me) rolls...coleslaw and corn nuggets that I won't order again...fried too hard outside and too mushy in the middle... like the grease was too hot.
Loved this meal...will order the beans next time and I now know the current hours are 7:00 am to 9 Â pm Thursday...Friday and Saturday
