Red's Place was great, even during COVID times. We sat outdoors during a brisk fall evening. The waiter and hostesses were kind, the food was great, and the atmosphere was welcoming. We had the loaded tots and flatbread pizza (comfort food!) and enjoyed our time in Ithaca.
Had beautiful duck leg and beef, will go there the next time.
Great spot for food, beer and cocktails. Wine choices not great but otherwise great!
Really nice service and food. The outdoor seating was really great, and I had a good time overall
Great service and nice staff! They have both dine in and outdoor dining now. The burgers are amazing and the sides are a good sized portion too.
Awesome food, awesome service, and the owners are amazing.
We went two days in a row while visiting Ithica since we loved the food ! Loved the proper pig flat bread and reds cheese pot, and enjoyed the side of the waffle fries. The mahi taco appetizer was a bit dry and overcooked, but still great over all !
Absolutely delicious burgers, fries, pizza, and tater tots. This place always keeps me coming back. It's a bit pricey but so so worth it.
Everything that everyone ordered was delicious! Would highly recommend!
Great tap list and good sandwich on my first visit. I'd check it out again.
Good food, cute place and our waitress was really nice and friendly!
Great Food! Dogs welcome!
Went here for a friends birthday. They had a great selection of burgers and sides, nice appetizers, and a bowl of water for the pup. Highly recommend it!
Excellent burger, good beer, pleasant service. A bit expensive.
We really enjoyed this place. I had a chicken sandwich and tomato soup. Both were very good , especially the soup. My son had a burger and fries. We felt safe with covid distancing. Very impressed with food.
We were set to go to Ithaca ale house and the wait was too long so we stopped by reds place and boy it was meant to be. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. Our waitress Brooke was great and so attentive to our family. The food was above average for a gastropub. Great experience and great food. Should definitely check them out.
Excellent. Great service. Wonderful pizzas. Cold Guinness & great sports talk with the staff clocking out by the bar with bartender-maestro Clarence.
Great place for a drink and conversation with friends
The tater tots are to die for! Crazy good. Nice place for a night out.
Food was pretty good but gave all of us food poising. The next time we were near by it was on fire. Very disappointing.
Great lunch stop. Very interesting menu. Lots to choose from. Great service.
WOW, just absolutely amazing. Food was 10/10 orderd the French burger and for desert the fried does nachos. Freakin jaw dropping, will be back again for sure
Very good food. Above all, there are dishes on the menu that are not to be found everywhere but are very delicious !!!
We had a great dinner here for my husband's birthday. Our server was attentive and really nice. Everyone loved their food, and the fries were well seasoned. The whole meal was delicious, and the call-ahead process on a Friday night was really easy to navigate...so glad we came here tonight!
Good food, cute place and our waitress was really nice and friendly!
The food was well worth the price. We all loved what we ordered.
Best mac and cheese ever. Also, great service and beer selection. Wishing I lived closer!
Went there twice. First time was excellent and was worth a 5 star but second time so so both food and service and worth 1 so 3 is a happy middle.
Wonderful food. Best wings by far!
Kathy is a pleasure and a treasure.
Great atmosphere, music and craft beer.
This place was great. Less crowded than other places nearby. My best friend and I both ordered the Aurora Street Burger. They were awesome. Well seasoned, perfectly cooked as we had ordered. The fries were cooked well and crispy. The beers we ordered were great and the waitress was very nice. Would absolutely come back and highly recommend.
Yuck. I ordered the mac and cheese app to start b/c I was so hungry. It tasted terrible, I mean really salty and just gross. Everyone at the table thought so. When I complained to the waiter, he said sorry and that it's often salty.... and then he walked away. That's not good customer service.
My entree was unimpressive (flatbread pizza). I didn't finish it at all.
The menu sounded good, but between the "in a hurry" waiter, LOUD dogs everywhere on The Commons and unappetizing food, I won't ever return.
Excellent beer and mahi mahi sandwich!!!
Burgers look great too!!!!
Food was impeccable and our waiter Sal was very helpful and attentive to us. Ps. get the boom boom shrimp. You won t regret it.
Good beer and tasty comfort food. If the Ale House is packed, try this place.
Y'all, this place is LEGIT. Best burgers ever. Awesome gluten-free selection. Great service. Outdoor seating. Loved it!
Red's is hit and miss. Sometimes you go there and there's an incoherently screaming Indians fan or sometimes there's a nice quiet atmosphere where you can get served quickly in peace. The small seating area add to longer weights during dinner rush. Food is good and they have a decent beer assortment.
Friendly staff. Accommodating. Unique selection of food that s flavorful. I would return.
Great food, nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.
My boyfriend and I were walking thru Ithaca Commons and decided to eat here. So happy that we chose this place. Great pub food and wonderful service. I just wish this place was available closer to home so I can come all the time lol I am looking forward to coming back.
Pretty typical Ithaca bar, but a nice place to meet up with friends.
We were visiting Ithaca for a couple of days in vacation and chose Red's Place at random. So glad we did! We started with the So Cheesy Dip which came our bubbling hot and was delicious. My boyfriend got the Cuban sandwich, which he asserts is the best Cuban he's ever had. Even the side salad was full of deep greens and was great! I also love how almost everything could be made gluten free. We want to come back again before we leave!
Delicious food and the prices are well worth the size of the portions.
I decided to stop by for some grub; this happened to be an "alright experience"
As I walked In I noticed that the staff wasn't very attentive to arriving guests- It wasn't very busy from the looks of it. The only member of the staff who was calm and had their act together was the bartender.
On the menu I saw an amazing list of food.
The down side being that it's all too much that I had to sit for an extra 10-15 minutes figuring out what I wanted to eat.
I got upset once I ordered and the waitress didn't even suggest anything on the menu.
I didn't have any napkins at my table at first. That's another thing don't cheap out on Napkins and buy expensive maison jars and small fryers as a serving plate. Dinner Napkins are far better.
The tots were slightly under- seasoned and skimpy
The Our Cuban Sandwich tasted ok with that said the Chimichurri sauce tasted and smelled amazing!
Once I was finished the waitress was quick to pick up my plate- I didn't like that one bit. She gave me the check... I paid...gave her a reasonable tip at the end she didn't even say goodbye or anything.
I will come back next time hoping for a better experience and better food! Please do not disappoint!
I would also like to add that... not everyone wants Ice in their drinks even though it's summer, ask!!!
Great and unique spins on burgers, sandwiches, flat bread pizzas, and salads. Comfy atmosphere with trendy style.
The atmosphere is a little too dark for me inside. There is outdoor seating which is nice if it's not too hot. We ordered a burger and fries which were very good. The other item we ordered was not good to me. The menu was kind of small.
Breezed through Ithaca and got takeout. Great selections on menu and nice staff. Food was god. Wings were cooked perfectly.
I love Thierry turkey burger and tator tots. Comfort food at its finest.
Delicious food perfect for family get-togethers. The restaurant is not open on Wednesdays as of 2020.
Gave away a table for our party of 6 to a party of 3 who showed up after us
Friendly people, quick service, great food. Thanks Doug!
Generous portions and well executed even at 3 o'clock on a Tuesday afternoon. Their bread from Ithaca bakery was the best part of our lunch. Great service and very reasonable for a gastropub.
The burger was plentiful and cooked to perfection, the fries were just as delicious. Thanks for a tasty lunch.
Mediocre at best, got the fish tacos. Came with regular country style coleslaw? The guacamole was brown. At least the beer was cold
This is a cool place with pub food with as twist. I had a peanut butter and jelly burger that I never thought I'd order but it was great. Service is friendly and fast too. Great place!
Wonderful food, clean restaurant, great atmosphere. Outstanding beer selection to pair with your food. Homemade dressings, fresh ingredients. Kathy was most accommodating, super friendly!! She shared the history of Red's and the local area, since it was our first trip to the 'downtown' Ithaca area. The Thai wings are Amazing!! The Cuban was yummy with a mix of fresh flavors and ingredients that I would never think of, but they make it work! My hubby had the Cowabunga, which is some if the most tender well seasoned smoked brisket, topped with an apple slaw! The Ithaca Lakeside lager was crisp, cold, and a nice light hop flavor with a fruity flower finish! We splurged and got the mixed berry cobbler for dessert, and Kathy made sure we got hot fresh coffee for us when we asked. We know were to come to eat, sit and relax the next time we come into town! See you in May, when we come for our next Cornell Animal Hospital visit.
Bartender was awesome, food was amazing, great mac salad
It's pricey but the burger was very good. Tater tots! They have a wonderful beer selection with Juice Bomb on tap. For 8 dollars. But it's so so so so good.
I enjoy reds. Have been here a few times and the food is pretty good, the service was very good, and the beer selection was nice. Reasonable gluten free section.
I rarely write a bad review but I went to Red s for lunch and it was possibly one of the worst meals I have ever had to pay for. The server was rude and would not explain the sides to me when I politely asked.
The fried chicken sandwich was one of the worst things I have seen. There was almost zero chicken, all it was was fried bits on a roll.
I have come for dinner and found the food good but I will never recommend going here again.
Very nice place. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Excellent food.
Came in at 1:30, it s now 2:56 and sill haven t received my food. Awful service, and unintelligent rude waitress. I will not be coming here again.
Had a 30 min wait to be seated. Busy night along the entire street. Service was friendly. However, we waited 35 min just for appetizers so we didn't dare order dinner or dessert like we intended. Wings were crispy but tasted like kettle corn, not Thai. Brussel sprouts were cold and the gravy on them was gross, Buffalo soup bowls had minimal taste and the chicken was too dry. Overall not a great experience, wouldn't come back if in town.
Pre-made frozen food. Attentive staff. Do your self a favor go next door to Ithaca Ale House
Had a decent brunch here a while back however really disappointed in the hostess tonight. Came for dinner and we waited in a line. When it was our turn she made us wait to take several phone calls for call ahead and put them in front of us which I think is ridiculously unfair. We walked out and probably won t be back.
We didn t even get to sit. The hostess was SO RUDE . I couldn t even believe it was really happening. We had driven 4 hours to get to Ithaca. We were starving and went to reds- 25 minute wait- not bad! We got drinks at the bar and waited patiently. After 30 minutes had passed, we noticed 4 open tables. One- shortly after - the servers came out and started rolling silverware on. We have over 10 years experience in restaurant business so we KNOW this is unacceptable. When I KINDLY asked the hostess about the status of our table, she quickly and rudely dismissed us proclaiming that she needed to clean all the tables down and needed more time- about 10 minutes more. However, they were already clean and set . three of them . When She notices this, she ROLLS HER EYES and says she will look next on the list- we were next- there was no one else in there. But she kept walking around the restaurant instead of seating us. When I human to human asked her don t you think it s strange that your staff will take a table to roll silverware instead of seating a willing to pay customer ? And again rudely says this is what management does. What do you want ? Me to talk to them? I said yes because I have a feeling if they knew customers were waiting then they would want us to eat and give money so she goes over to the other workers and they look at me and LAUGH. I can t possibly make this up. Look at my other reviews - I never review for a bad way. But realizing there IS no management, we decided to leave because if we can t even get seated with 4 empty tables, then I can t imagine how awful the service would have been. Again- This young hostess was SO RUDE. She didn t care if Reds made money or not. She didn t really care much about anything .....
Absolutely delicious. Both the gluten free burger bun and the normal one. I was particularly impressed with the loaded fries.
Had the pb and jellousy burger with the sweet potato waffle fries. Really different and delicious.
Always a pleasure visiting this place.
Always fun to visit
Great menu, great service, convenient location.
The food is exactly what you'd expect from a main Street pub - simple but tasty, delivered quickly from a friendly waitress.
The beer and spirits menu is the same thing - great selection and good prices
Ithaca beer and peanut butter and jelly burger. That's right, a PB&J burger. It was awesome.
