The restaurant had a great atmosphere and we loved the way they decorated it. Old and new country decor meshed well together. We started out with the fried pickles, they were very good and the ranch was too. I got the catfish. The fish was fresh and tasty as well as the hush puppies and fries. The tartar sauce was delicious. My husband got the chicken fried steak. He really enjoyed it. My dad got the brisket tacos and stated they were delicious. The brisket and hamburger meat nachos both got high praises. This is the third Ole Reds location we have tried and this one was at the top for sure.

Bloody Mary was okay, my chicken tender garnish came out after drink was almost consumed. Skip the mashed potatoes, maybe it was just late, we arrived an hour before closing so end of day fixings came our way. Old Blake videos played from back in the mullet days. There is some cools things on the walls, cool mural of Ole Red in the truck. The dog pick outside at night looks like a horror face, look and you be the judge.

We tried the fried pickles, the chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes and Mac n' cheese. Everything was very under seasoned. The Mac was very soupy. Overall I give them 4 out of 5.

When we were first seated, the table wasn't clean. When my sister politely mentioned it, the waitress seemed more defensive than apologetic and moved us to an even more uncomfortable table. Service overall was very slow, especially considering they were not busy. It took a long time just to get drinks, my tea was never offered a refill, and my mom was brought the completely wrong meal -- she ordered a chicken sandwich and received a hamburger instead. The food itself was honestly pretty disappointing for the cost. Ralph and I both ordered the chicken fried chicken, which was around $27 each, and it came out cold. The green beans were cold too and honestly not good at all. Overall, the food felt very average and definitely not worth the price point. The one highlight was the famous quail poppers -- those were actually really good and probably the best thing we had all night. Sadly, after all four of us talked about it afterward, we agreed the experience was maybe a 3 out of 5 at best, and that's being generous. We really wanted to love it, but it just fell short in both service and food quality.

Let me explain. Once inside it feels more diner like. The waitress seemed discombobulated and not as polished as you would expect. We ordered two round of drinks and both were very slow to come out. We almost cancelled the second round because we were done eating and still hadn't recieved them. I think the wait staff may have to make their own cocktails so that may be why it's so slow, I'm not sure though. Let's talk food. We ordered the ribeye with brussel sprouts and carrots. It was very mid. It was a $60 steak so we expected more. It came off as a steak from chilis. It also had a peppercorn sauce on top that wasn't the best. Veggies were good and tender. We also ordered the gnocchi. That dish was a success delicious. We absolutely recommend that one but we can't recommend the steak. The ambience was a mix of an attempt at high end and diner. See my pics and you will understand. We won't go back and we usually try a place twice before we make that decision. Food 7/10 - because the gnocchi was delicious Ambience 7/10 - mix of upscale and casual is strange Wait staff- 7/10

The brisket and pulled pork were some of the best I've had, and the portions felt like a really good value. Because the brisket and pulled pork were so good, I went back last night as a birthday treat and ordered the 2-meat platter with just those meats. Unfortunately, it was a totally different experience. The brisket was overcooked and dry, and the pulled pork was mostly small, dry chunks of bark instead of the juicy, tender pork I had the first time. On top of that, the portions were about the same size as what came in the sampler, which was disappointing considering you get 5 meats with the platter. I really wanted this visit to be just as good as the first because that first meal set the bar so high. They were pretty busy so maybe that impacted the quality of meat I got, but I was pretty bummed out, especially at these prices. I'd be willing to give them a third chance someday, but for now I'll probably be checking out a different BBQ spot.
