red hot & blue

good food change of pace. this past sunday the family visitedredhot & blue after a multi-year hiatus. there was no real reason we stopped going. it just happened. today we stopped back. the inside layout still has the rock band pig decor. it's pleasant and enjoyable but tired.

we were seated quickly and served by a great guy that knew his job. he took the time to re-orient us to their menu. specifically, it was nice to know they consider themselves a memphis style of bbq.

we ordered a brisket potato, brunswick stew, pulled pork sandwich and chicken fried steak. the stew was tops! it had pulled beef, chicken and pork in a tomato base. it was great. my sandwich was filled with tender pulled pork. i liked the coleslaw (memphis style). the potato was well done and balanced to have extra toppings with each bite. the chicken fried steak was chewy. we did not finish it. the potato salad was not hot or cold and didn't have much flavor.

it was a really nice visit with tasty food. they could cut back on the portions and lower the price. it was a lot of food, too much. i'll give a pass on the bad fried steak. that happens more often than not. i know not to order that unless i have heard first hand it is good.

food makes me blue.. folks save yourself some money and take the kids home and fix them a hotdog and fries. theredhot blue o n. central is probably better than the plano location but the food is just marginal and you pay a hefty price for a heartburn. why do people go to restaurants and pay big money for terrible food and has always amazed me and then you see reviews where people just love this junk. go figure.

not the bestredhot and blue. we frequented theredhot and blue restaurants in fairfax and alexandira, this one is a disappointment. i don't know what it is, but it's just not as good.

it should be calledredhot and boo. went in for dinner: service was good but i had a brisket sandwich and "wet" ribs. the meat didn't taste "smoked" it was as if someone cooked it in an oven and slathered a cheap sauce on it. i sent it back promptly. disappointing but should have known better if i didn't smell or see smoke when i pulled up. save your money and go elsewhere.

we likeredhot & blue. it took a coupon to get us to travel the three miles to this location. this is a very casual restaurant. order the giant and i mean giant hamburgers. they were very good as was the fris. we now have to go back to try the bar b q.
