Red Hot and Blue Restaurant Review
Barbecue style cuisine is a style, that has been gaining popularity in recent years.
Red Hot and Blue has the funniest logo I have ever seen-two pigs playing guitars. I'm not quite sure pigs would be joyfully playing music before being thrown into the barbecue pit, but its quite amusing nonetheless. Their restaurants(I've been to three of them), have a casual atmosphere with a lot of bright colors/sports memorabilia. The location I most often visit, has a red wall with the two pigs prominently displayed. They are always playing blues music, at a sound level that is just right.
The service at the restaurants, has been nothing short of impressive. The servers always seem to go out of their way to insure a pleasant experience, and they are very knowledgeable about the menus. (They also know a lot about the company, and how it started) Upon sitting, the drink order is instantly started, with any appetizers/salads needed. I like how they come right to your table, and you don't have to sit there empty handed like many other establishments.
Red Hot and Blue has a fine selection of appetizers, which run from $4.99-$11.99. These include Onion Rings, Nachos, Catfish Fingers, Fried Jalapeno Bites, Chicken Crispers, Buffalo Wings, and Samplers. I wish I had more experience with the appetizers, but I've only ordered the Jalapeno Bites. These are very good, and only cost $4.99. They are nothing fancy, but have just the right amount of spice without overwhelming the palate. The cheese was melted perfectly, and while they won't fill you up, you won't ruin your appetite for the main course.
Salads from Red Hot and Blue are generously proportioned, although I have not eaten one. Their house salads start at $3.49, and their fancier entree salads run up to $10.99. I'm really not into salads, but my friends are. The last time I went with one of them, I couldn't believe the salad they brought out. She ordered the Southern Fried Chicken Salad, and its the biggest $8.00 salad I've ever seen! It had fried chicken breast meat, different types of lettuce, eggs, tomatoes, onions, and tortilla strips. She got the Parmesan Peppercorn Ranch dressing, and said it was the best salad she's ever had. I had to agree, based on looks alone. Red Hot and Blue offers the following dressings: Ranch, Blue Cheese, BBQ Ranch, Caesar, Honey Mustard, Parmesan Peppercorn, and Oil and Vinegar.
You can order chili or chowders if interested, and their signature item is my favorite. Its their simple Pulled Pork Sandwich, which I've had for lunch a few times. This generous portion of pork is served on a kaiser bun, which was toasted and topped with BBQ sauce. Although quite good, I'm a bit disappointed with the sauce, as it seems a bit short of authentic Carolina barbecue style should be. Its a little bland, and needs a little more bite to be a solid winner. However, the pork is quite good, and moist under the bun. This meal comes with potato salad(wonderful, although loaded with calories/carbs)coleslaw, and a pickle. It retails for $6.99, and you get a lot for your money with it.
Another neat lunch item is the " Have Your Cake and Eat It Too Burger." For $8 bucks, its quite a delicious meal. Its a hamburger with pulled pork, and it is topped with onions, melted cheddar cheese, and barbecue sauce. On the side are french fries, which are absolutely delicious. They are always cooked at the right temperature, and served hot. My only complaint about this meal has nothing to do with quality, as it is quite a tasty meal. The burger is a bit on the small side, so its more of a snack than a power lunch ticket item.
Red Hot and Blue's Ribs are their most popular item, and you can get a half slab for $13. There is some choice here, as you can get dry ribs or wet/sweet style. I have only bought the dry ribs, as this is my preferred way of cooking. They are cooked over hickory wood, for a long time at low temperatures. This leaves the meat cooked properly, while allowing for it to slide right off the bone. These are above average, but not as good as my local barbecue place that cooks over a authentic pit. The Carolina Sauce disappointment needs improvement, as its a must have for ribs. These meals come with BBQ beans, coleslaw, and dinner rolls. Just be prepared to make a mess!
It is almost sac-religious to go into a barbecue place, and order a steak. However, on my last visit I did just that. I ordered the NY Strip Steak, which is a 12 oz portion served with onion rings and a baked potato. I ordered it medium rare, and it came out medium well. Although I was disappointed, I turned down our servers kind efforts to have a new one brought out. It was still very good quality, and a worthwhile meal. The price was a bit expensive at $17, but I got a discount for my troubles. Our server did such a good job, and even went to a manager to take 1/2 off the steak without my asking. Its this kind of service that makes me a repeat customer, and why they always deserve an A for effort.
Red Hot and Blue offers the following beverages: Coke products, Coffee, Milk, Juices, Beers, and Mixed Drinks. I've always been impressed with their beer list, and that is usually what I order with my meals. I did order their coffee one time, and will not do it again. If you dislike McDonald's Coffee, then you will certainly frown at the taste of RHB's blend. The service at the bar has been above average, and I have ordered some "interesting items." Not once has the bartender asked me what drink I was talking about, and they tend to be a tad generous with the alcoholic content in their drinks. (Their Long Island Ice Teas have surprised me a bit.)
I do appreciate how Red Hot and Blue has a lot of sides to choose from, and these are great for Carryout as well. Their sides items are: BBQ Beans(Outstanding), Coleslaw(Nothing Special, edible), Baked Sweet Potato w/Cinnamon(Fantastic, Better than Logan's Steakhouses famous ones), Collard Greens(Dry, Nasty), French Fries(Hot/Tasty), Mashed Potatoes(never had), Fried Okra(Haven't had), Corn on the Cob(Haven't had), and Hush Puppies.(Burned often, make you drink large amounts of water) They range from $1.99-$2.59 each, for each individual sized portion.
I have had Red Hot and Blue carryout at business lunches, and it always goes over well with fellow employees. You can call your RHB and make the order in advance, and then pick it up. The prices are quite reasonable, and its a great way to make sure your work place has a lot of full bellies. The sides can be had in bulk, and RHB offers full service catering to companies that can spend a little extra money for their valued team members. You can get rolls from them as well, which is nice as it stops you from making an additional grocery store run.
Red Hot and Blue has stores at their restaurants, and I've been suckered into buying two shirts so far.(I'll admit that I do like the pigs with guitars) I'm also signed up for their Red Hot and Blue Club Membership, which is a free service provided by the restaurant. I receive coupons in the mail for appetizers and entrees, and even receive a free dessert on my birthday. I'm looking forward to that! Their service is impeccable, and most of their food items are quite tasty. Red Hot and Blue is reasonably priced, and worth checking out if you like barbecue style food. My only complaints involve overcooking of some items, and a lack of real Carolina flavor in the sauce. Give them a try to see if their something you like, and be sure to say hi to the happy pigs!
