I love finding places where it’s a step back in time and you get the nostalgic old-fashioned diner feels - Red’s is exactly that! The history of this restaurant is neat! My husband and I came right at noon for lunch on a Thursday and they were busy. Several cars in the drive-thru and the parking lot was full (that’s always a good sign, right!?). We had about a 5 minute wait in line to order then waited approximately 10 more minutes for our food to come out. There were plenty of open booths to sit at inside as it appeared most customers were getting their orders to go. Overall, the restaurant was clean and the staff were attentive and immediately wiped down tables as customers left. The decor inside brings you back to the 50’s and creates a nice atmosphere as well. Burgers were flavorful, a little on the dry side, but tasty! The hand cut fries were crispy and yummy! Everything came out fresh and hot. Wish we would have tried their ice cream, but we will be back!

All our hamburgers were cold and dry. Manager was extremely rude and told me to “scrap off” the onions and cheese if I didn’t want them on my chili.

We have eaten here several times and tonight the food was not good and very slow service. There weren’t many people there eating and we did not have to wait in line to order. Could not understand the girl who took our order, should have left at that point. Food took about 45 minutes and was cold when we got it. Fries were cold and tough, burgers not tasty. Only two people cooking but since they only had our order and one other, there’s no reason it should have taken this long. Very disappointing.

Great revival of a former, classic Route 66 restaurant!Great did with the retro vibe!A note.. this is not fast food, so don't be in a hurry once you place your order. Just set back, relax and enjoy the step back into time!

amazing ? will be going back and the staff is very hardworking and friendly!

This place is disgusting. Spent an hour waiting for our food. Which is no big deal if the food was worth putting into our mouths. The food and drinks were disgusting and definitely not what we ordered. Also don’t get us started on the cook coming out and doing a drug deal in the back of the parking lot along with the woman taking orders who couldn’t even get the orders right. I’m not one to complain about places , but this place is by far the worst place I have ever experienced. The burgers went either two ways , dry brick hard, or overly greasy and dripping with grease. Not to mention we get half the burger. HALF THE BURGER WAS GONE! The buns were brick hard and falling apart. Also the menu is false advertising. this place is not worth the money.

Great food and fun for kids. We came on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and really enjoyed the experience. I would say it’s similar to the likes of Steak N Shake or Freddie’s, but MUCH BETTER. Yummy food and the atmosphere is fantastic. We’ll be back for sure!

Super great food and such fun atmosphere. Amazing piece of history and worth it for the food. I loved the sweet potato fries

Fun and quirky 1950s style interior design, authentic historic Route 66, nostalgic atmosphere and fresh, well prepared, yummy food. Close to home for us.

We enjoyed a bit of nostalgia as we had lunch today at Red’s Giant Hamburg. Our double burger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, mustard and homemade fries was DELICIOUS! Great chocolate shake, too! Personnel were friendly and made us happy we stopped in. Highly recommend Red’s! Loved the old-fashioned diner atmosphere, too!!
