Great food and service. Ribs done just right. Smoke turkey and sausage were delicious.

The service and food has always been top notch. I don't get by the red hot and blue often but it's a must stop whenever I'm in the area

We are on our way home to New York. We pulled off 301 in Annapolis, MD and we stopped here to eat. I am glad we did. When we entered the restaurant I could smell good food. We hit a nice gem to eat at. The Hostess and our waitress Rachel were very nice. We got seated right away. The restaurant was getting busy. We got there around 4pm. My husband had a plate of pulled pork, pulled chicken, hush puppies, cornbread & mac & cheese and he fully enjoyed it and ate everything on his plate. I had the cheeseburger with Swiss & sautéed onions and fried pickles, & grandmas potatoe salad. My burger was cooked the way I like it. The wait for food was really good. The decor was Blues theme, with statue of Elvis, the Blues Brothers and Autographed Photos, signs about Blues History. If we didnt have a long ride still ahead of us, we could have hung out longer. If you need a rest from the road or live in the town its a must go to. Restaurant and Bathrooms were both clean. Glad we lucked into it read more

We've been stopping at RH&B in Annapolis for many years. The service is always pleasant & the food is delicious...(think Burnt Ends)! It's convenient to exit Rt. 50 & plenty of parking. Important after a stressful 2day trip. As long as you guys keep up with the delicious food, we'll keep coming back!!!!!! read more

It's ok. Pros the portions are large and the variety is nice. Cons: Nothing was really seasoned. Brisket, Chicken, greens, etc. had little to no flavor. Also the brisket was over cooked. Overall not worth the price tag if you like your bbq seasoned. read more

My family decided we were in the mood for a bbq lunch today and we went to check out Red Hot & Blue having heard great things about it from friends. We ordered our kids meals first, so they would come out first (pro tip!) and they ordered the kids portions of the ribs and chicken wings with broccoli and carrots as their sides. We also ordered them some fries for good measure. I ordered the burnt tips meal with the sweet potato casserole and tater tots as my sides. My meal was so tasty and filling! I can't recommend it enough. It also came with corn bread, which was scrumptious. I was so engulfed in my meal I forgot to get a pic of my husband's lunch. I'll add that and update this soon! The service was really great as well. Our server was attentive and responsive. She also had a sense of humor and knew how to deal with kids. :) We had a great experience, everyone ate their meals, and left full. We look forward to returning! read more

I had lunch with some friends yesterday. As always, the food and service were superb! Also great to hear the blues while eating their savory offerings. Best potato salad other than my grandma's anywhere. The only complaint I have is that the Smokin' Hot BBQ sauce, nee Hoochie Coochie (why they changed the name, I can only guess), is not nearly as hot and spicy as it used to be. It used to be the best BBQ sauce in the business. Still good but disappointing. For those who don't like hot and spicy, there are plenty of options. But if you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch. read more

Very enjoyable place to eat. Gumbalaya was amazing!! Key lime pie was good. Had a great variety of sauces to add to the ribs. Would def be a come back to spot. read more

Another good experience at RH&B. We ordered $450 worth of smoked meat and potato salad for a group of 40 in our backyard. The smoked pork was really delicious and was wiped out by the end of the party. The smoked chicken was a little dry but still tasty. Their potato salad is one of the best I have had anywhere. The food was ready when they said it would be. Brought it out to my car. I supplied a variety of gourmet BBQ sauces to accompany their sauce. Mine got the vote over theirs. Very good price/value relationship read more

Hanna was our waitress and she immediately greeted us once we sat down! Drinks are bland so stick with the non alcoholic drinks and you will be okay. The salad I chose was huge and the brisket was tasty! Restaurant could use some lighting-bathrooms were clean. Forgot to take pictures of the food. read more

Carry out review only Staff was kind and order was done on time which was awesome. The carry out pick up is around the corner from the front door. Overall this was decent food, but I don't know that it was a favorite of ours. Really enjoyed the pulled pork which came with three dipping sauces (all were good and bonus points that one was Carolina style/vinegar based), my husband had brisket he said it was really lean (which isn't his preference). We also had hush puppies that were good flavor but were pretty dry. The green beans had not seasoning, so I wasn't a fan of them. The fried pickles were great! read more

Just at the Western end of the Bay Bridge sits a place with a windmill and a pig statue on their roof. We have passed by here alot on our way from Baltimore. Always wanted to see what it was, well today was the day! We were not disappointed! We ordered the carry out and sat outside on this most beautiful late summer day with the Gurlz. This is real smoked BBQ and it was absolutely delicious! The half slab(really a half) of ST. Louis meaty ribs fell off the bone and had a nice hard glaze of Bourbon & Molasses. Sticky sweetness. This came with two sides and I added corn bread. Their onion basket side was really good and all were generous portions. And of course we had the gallon of Southern Sweet Tea(came home with us). Definitely a new fave when in the area. If you ever drive by here -STOP and try it! read more

Eight of us stopped by Red Hot & Blue for dinner last Saturday. We were able to order pretty quickly and the food came out super fast. The service was friendly and helpful. THE WHOLE SMOKER - 22.99 This comes with five smoked meats on a huge plate including two sides and cornbread. My favorite meat was definitely the pulled pork which was flavorful, tender, and a bit of fattiness that melts in your mouth. The sausage was pretty good, too, as it was fat and juicy. The Texas brisket had a lot of potential, but ours was pretty dry. I was not a fan of the pulled chicken or turkey breast. If I ever come back, I'll avoid ordering those options. The cornbread was very good, a bit nutty and fluffy at the same time. The two sides we got were the mac & cheese (satisfied my cravings and very creamy) and the potato salad (lots of flavors everywhere, not my favorite, but I can see why people enjoy it). I shared this platter with two others and somehow we were satisfyingly full after this plus an additional side. SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE - 3.50 This was the additional side that my two friends and I shared. The sweet potato casserole here is so good. It's so simple with the perfect texture and sweetness. Very addictive, we'd highly recommend this one! The sweet potato casserole and cornbread were well-loved by our group, so a couple people got more to-go to enjoy at home. Overall, the sides were great and better than the meats (which were a hit or miss). read more

Had a two meat lunch combo yesterday with brisket and pulled chicken, both of which were tender and tasty, along with 2 included sides of fresh Cole slaw and baked beans. Came in at $20.99 and it was delicious. Always a satisfying visit for me. read more

O.M.G. If you haven't been here what are you waiting for?!! The burnt ends appetizer were the most mouth watering tender delicious brisket I have EVER had. Yum!! Not to mention the bourbon molasses sauce so delish!! I felt like I was in TN the whole meal. Wow. ease come to Boston! The potato salad was so authentically southern, haven't tasted that so good since my SC days! and of course, the pulled pork and pulled chicken were SO darn good too. Tender!! Did I mention the hush puppies?? In southern blues heaven here today and happy this place is only 5 min from my daughter's house. Had a taste of Boston with a large Sam Adams Octoberfest, thanks for that! We can't wait to come again Danielle the waitress was awesome and the vibe was clean calm and cool - love the blues and love the story of how you came to be! read more

It has been far too long since I've been to a Red Hot & Blue restaurant! My best friend is a preacher at a church 20 minutes from this location, and we made a 90 minute trip for his church service today and decided to stop here for lunch afterwards. They got us seated right away and we're quick with taking our orders and getting our drinks served to our party of 8. I absolutely love the ambiance here, with the pictures on the walls and other miscellaneous memorabilia throughout. The food was absolutely on point, too. The ribs were fantastic. The cornbread was great. I loved tasting my wife's potato salad, and we had a great meal overall. I'm so looking forward to coming back here again soon! read more

Horrible service!! Came by on a Thursday around 2pm. I was sat and I waited for about 10 minutes and no one came by to acknowledge I was there. I flagged down the hostess to see who is suppose to be taking care of my order, that's when my server spoke up and said she will be right over. I ordered everything at one time since I had so much time to study the menu. After taking my order my server came back to ask what was one of the side order. She never came back to check on me during my meal. She did checked on the tables next to me. It wasn't busy during that hour. I asked for the check and a to go container from her since I wasn't feeling comfortable. I used to serve food in DC and I know what a great friendly service is like. I still tip her 20% even though the service was horrible. She treated everyone well around her section but just ignoring me. Maybe I was the only Asian, not to sound racist but it could be the reason or maybe because I came in with short and flip flop since I just visited Sandy Point which is a few miles from this restaurant. Servers should treat everyone the same not the way people look nor where they came from. Not like this is a top 5 stars dining. It's summertime wearing flip flop and short to dine in the city is normal at where I came from, DC. Food was average! The server's name is Amelia R! Maybe management can do something about this issue or retrain their servers on service. I do not feel comfortable at this place. I'll stick to DC restaurants from here on where there are different people from different culture dining in. FOREIGNERS BEWARE!!! read more

Really great bbq spot right before the bridge with a great theme, and great music! Came here for lunch, their lunch menu is great and is plenty of food. My father and I both got the Smokehouse salad with blue cheese and YUM. I really wanted to try the brisket and chicken, and this was certainly a great execution of both. The BBQ sauces at the table was very tasty and mixed well with the veggies and dressing. Our server was really great, made sure we had plenty of refills on the big diet cokes. Would come back again and try more of the menu. Great spot! read more

Awesome ribs! Great burgers and crunchy tater tots. Consistently good and so glad to have in our neighborhood

food is great, service is great. DON'T miss the Catfish! , the brisket or sausage link (the mustard is also excellent )

One of the best BBQ spots in my east coast travels, ribs are phenomenal, get them done naked and sauce on the side! Collard greens and Sweet potato casserole were excellent! Staff is friendly except the older lady taking orders at carry out. read more

The service is exceptional, the cuisine is delectable, and the staff is outstanding; I highly recommend this establishment.

Every time I order through DoorDash or GrubHub, or even when I pickup the order myself, the order is consistently missing something, usually a side dish. I won't be going back. Poor quality assurance. Do better! read more

Definitely a bbq spot to try out. Located in Arnold, MD; I was glad to finally stop by. A lil upset that amber did not offer us a refill. Great theme, love the decor! Great selection of music! I had the shrimp and catfish platter. And hubby got the sampler platter and stated the meat was a lil dry. The lemonades were tasteful I wish I got that refill lol. read more

Foodd is great, service is awesome and fast. Weight staff is friendly and courteous. I highly recommend the Annapolis Red Hot, and Blue

I met up for lunch here with my brother-in-law. We had the dry rubbed ribs along with dry rubbed chicken wings. We found the ribs were meaty and tender. However, I think they would have been tastier if we had them pprepared with bbq sauce. The service was fast and friendly. Seating was plentiful and comfortable. The restaurant and restrooms were very clean. There is a full service bar offering mixed drinks, wine, and bottled and draft beers. There is a separate entrance for to-go orders. Overall, I recommend this restaurant for lunch and dinner meals. Pricing was reasonable read more

I stopped into this place on a whim - drawn in by the rickety windmill gracing the roof. For a lot of restaurants, a shabby exterior is a bad thing, but for a BBQ place, it's often the sign of excellent smoked meat waiting inside. (At least, that's what I've found!) I didn't expect a sit down, table service place, but that's what this is. It still has a dark and dicey feel that I want in a BBQ place though. Since I was by myself, I sat at the bar where there's also full service. Prices were a bit steep, but portions and quality were there to make it worth it. I ordered the burnt end plate with the potato salad and coleslaw as my sides. It also came with a decent piece of cornbread (which I didn't expect was glad to have as I didn't order hush puppies). The coleslaw was crunchy and tasty, but nothing super special. The potato salad was simple - just mashed up taters with mayo, celery, shallots (maybe?), salt and pepper, but it was really good. You don't need a ton of add-ijs to make a good potato salad and this one nailed it. On to the meat - this is BBQ after all, so that should be the show, right? It was! Burnt ends are my fave BBQ meat, if they're done right. Lots of places drown them in a sweet sauce and sometimes they're really fatty. Not here. Red Hot & Blue serves theirs unsauced with a cup of a sweet-mildly spicy bourbon based sauce on the side. That means the meat is still crispy, like I want my burnt ends to be. I wanna taste that char - they're BURNT after all! All the pieces I got were meaty, not fatty. And there was a good portion of them too Overall another excellent example of a shabby exterior hiding excellent food! Only rated 4 stars because it was a bit slow service wise, but the food is what you go for. Not bad service, just inattentive. read more

Whenever the hubby & I go to Annapolis ( from the Eastern Shore ) & we're heading home @ lunchtime, we look at each other & say, "Red, Hot & Blue!". We know we'll have a great meal, the service is always outstanding, friendly & efficient, plus the blues playing in the background makes it a total pleasure. Dinner is equally as great & we will take friends & family there, because we can count on Red White & Blue to serve us the best; food, drink, service & blues!! read more

They take great care in securing and packaging your carry out order!!! I really appreciate it!

Fun place to try all types of things - from a Pulled Pork plate to a Smokehouse Salad, to Burgers, a Brisket Chili Bowl to "Gumbalaya". There were 6 of us and we all enjoyed what we ordered. The "individual size" sodas were served not in large glasses but in individual pitchers that were pretty big! The large glass of beer was also pretty enormous! They have a large menu so there are a lot of other things to try on another visit. Another surprise was the cost. The bill per couple, before tip, was only about $42. read more

I normally chalk up a horrendous experience as maybe the server or restaurant is having a bad day, however I would be remiss not to capture my experience this afternoon. I started by joining a couple of folks for lunch and one of them and I have dined at this establishment on numerous occasions and although it's been hit or miss, the hits outweighed the miss. Additionally, the location is best for us both. Well, todays visit took it to a dark side. I ordered the catfish sandwich with fries and received a plate with a bun burnt on both sides and cold fries. When I mentioned it to our server, her vibe immediately changed, and her comment was "it's toasted" and my response was "it's burnt". She said do you want another, I said yes. She marched off and came back with a bun on a plate and popped it on the table and walked away. So, at this point I have to remake my sandwich??? At the end of the day, if I would have been alone, I would have exited the premises, however that wasn't an option and my thing is once something like this occurs, I honestly don't trust receiving anything from the kitchen, if you get my drift. So, I made my sandwich, discarded the fries, paid my portion of the bill with NO tip and kept it moving because unfortunately this is the overly disgruntled world we live in now. Lastly, this was so sorry to me, I didn't even waste my time taking photos. read more

Service was pretty distracted and super slow... despite the place being pretty dead. Ribs were more like something from a Chilis or Fridays than aegis BBQ joint. Pretty trimmed. Burnt ends didn't seem like the fat rendered. Green beans were fine but nothing special. Cornbread was pretty good. Not sure what was up, but we recently moved to the area and I'll be looking for another BBQ joint. read more

This was the cutest place ever! They had drums as lights and the wall art was perfect. We were seated quickly and our waitress was extremely attentive and kind. Since we were visiting for the first time, she was a big help in picking a meal that would best fit our needs. The food was perfect. No notes! They also had six different bbq sauce options and that alone blew our visit out the water. I would 100% be back. read more

Good food and service. Clean bathrooms. Would eat here again. Ate here at lunch. Good atmosphere and decor.

I did not know what to expect on the inside of this building. On the outside was a sign that had hogs with sunshade playing guitars and the building itself is shaped like a barn with a windmill on top. At least that is what it looked like to me. I walked in and it was coolness after coolness for me. There were posters of musical acts and festivals (e.g., The Blues Brothers, Chesapeake Blues Festival, etc.) as well as a statue of the Blues Brothers and also Elvis Presley. One of my all-time favorite movies is The Blues Brothers, so you know I was stoked to see the poster and statue. My server's name was Connor. He was so nice. I told him it was my first time there and I was taking in all the ambiance. He gave me a warm welcome. I started off with a Coke with lime. He brought it out in a mini pitcher. He said they like to keep their guests hydrated. I ordered the Smoked Meat Sampler. It consists of two southern sides and two choices of meat. I opted for the mac and cheese, collard greens, pulled chicken and Texas Brisket, along with a piece of cornbread. My food came to the table piping hot. The mac and cheese was meh, HOWEVER everything else was delicious. I tried all the sauces on my chicken. My faves were the Carolina Vinegar and Sufferin' Sweet. I highly recommend this location and will definitely be returning. Oh, almost forgot. I got a piece of Smith Island Cake to go. It was a huge slice and it was delicious. read more
