Red Hot & Blue

Pros: Outstanding Service, Good Food at Reasonable Prices
Cons: Sauce is Bland, Some Overcooked Items

Barbecue style cuisine is a style, that has been gaining popularity in recent years. Many customers have found a craving for pulled pork and fried catfish, while dipping these items in Carolina Hot Sauce. I am one of those folks to have made this leap, ...

Pros: Pit BBQ, great sweet iced tea,
Cons: I've had better BBQ sauce in my lifetime

Red Hot & Blue is a chain restaurant located in 14 states across the nation. My experience is with the restaurant located in Joplin, Missouri. I actually worked very briefly for this restaurant - and if you're server was Kimberly back in late 1997, my...

Pros: Lots of tasty options, good food and service, blues music.
Cons: Dessert was not quite as advertised.

My husband Bill and I went on an outing this afternoon to a local supermarket. I had a vase full of loose change that needed to be dumped into the CoinStar and we needed to pick up a few other Memorial Day essentials like beer. Little did we know when ...

Pros: Some good barbequed meats
Cons: Some very poorly barbequed meats

This is a review of the RED HOT & BLUE restaurant in Leesburg, VA.

I had just gotten my license plates for my new Honda Insight and my SO suggested that we celebrate this event by going out to eat. It was mid-afternoon, which is close to...

Pros: Really great authentic Memphis Style BBQ
Cons: Service could be better.

My family is from Memphis, Tennessee. I grew up eating pork BBQ and loving it. When we moved to Texas, I remember the first time that I ordered BBQ. I was served some dark looking stuff with red sauce all over it. I took a bite and found it...

Pros: The best Ribs and Pulled Pork that have ever passed my lips
Cons: None

I have had the pleasure to eat at many of this chain's locations across the country in my travels. This place really knows great food. I love their slogan, "The Best BBQ you'll ever eat in a building that hasn't already been condemned." The food and...

Pros: The price. There's not one close to where I live.
Cons: The service, the food, the management, they were all bad

A few weeks ago, my wife and I spent the weekend in Williamsburg, Va. We did the whole tourist thing, Busch Gardens, Mystery Dinner Theater, we even visited the old historic crap (her idea). On our first night in Williamsburg, we stopped by the front...

Pros: Food and Jazz music
Cons: None

Red Hot & Blue's specialize in pork barbeque served Memphis style, which means they put Cole slaw right on the sandwich. They smoke their meat for 12 hours over hickory wood; it’s not steamed or gilled, and served without sauce. The ribs come wet or dry,...

Pros: Great food, plenty of it; good menu selection, plenty of napkins, clean bathroom, no vegans
Cons: Spotty service, flat sodas, generic Margaritas

Nobody walks into a RH&B, expecting to order an arugula and pine nut salad, with a side of tofu. The neon sign gives first glad welcome to those with a hunger for out of the closet, honest, unapologetic meat with all its traditional accoutrements. The...

Pros: The food....! Except for a couple of items you can never go wrong.
Cons: The specialty drinks - stay away you have been warned!

I have to say I love this place. I usually go to the Red Hot & Blue in Irving during lunch/after work since its only a couple blocks away. In the evenings I enjoy stilling at the bar with a drink talking or watching sports etc. The atmosphere is real ...

Pros: Attentive Service.
Cons: The dry Memphis style ribs were unbelievably tough.

So much so that I actually bent my knife attempting to cut them....and no I wasn't cutting bone. If their ribs are supposed to be this bad and tough, why didn't they provide a steak knife. Without a doubt the worst barbeque ribs I've ever encountered....

Pros: We were seated immediately. The decor was nice.
Cons: The food and service were both bad.

My sister raved about the BBQ at RHB, so I agreed to try it. What a mistake! The meat was tough and dry. I tried every one of the BBQ sauces, I did not find one that I thought tasted good. They seemed to sacrifice flavor in favor of spicy and hot. I won't go back.

Pros: Clean, and bright red
Cons: Food has been precooked and and isn't fresh. Both rubs were tough and dry.

I recently went to this place because my girlfriend wanted to take to her Dad to eat Souther Style BBQ. While I was waiting for my server to arrive after having been seated 20 minutes, I was looking at the dried up Ribs they were bring in. Once I got served, I looked at my food and could only this that this restaurant has taken too many short cuts. You cannot even smell the BBQ when you arrive

Pros: everything!!
Cons: NONE

relaxing atmosphere, excellent ribs (i usually get the dry rub), Yuengling on draft, all for a low low price. what more can you ask for?
