    I can't believe this is my first review of Red Coat. I love burgers and every chance I get, Red Coat is a must stop for me. I love their burgers, salads and claim chowder. They have a spicy chowder that is out of this world! They also have the BOMBDIGGITY onion rings!

    Burger section, notice no prices on the add on just that there is a charge.

    Exterior is really rundown. The paint is peeling and parking lot is more gravel and pit holes than paved. The interior is very dark so it is harder to see the state of things. Although some of the booths have seen better days. Our waitress was very friendly. Prices were on the high side with a steep price for customizations. $18 for just a burger $2.35 for bacon, 75¢ each for cheese and bbq sauce. Bring my burger to over $20 without even including fries. The burger looked a lot better than what it was. I asked for medium rare and it was closer to well, only a little pink to the burger. The meat itself was dry and flavorless. No seasoning or char flavor to the burger. Bun was close to being stale. The lettuce was surprisingly very bitter. Which also negatively impacted the overall flavor. Fries were really good, no need to add salt. Burger Cooke & flavor: 7/30 Burger presentation: 8/10 Bun quality: 6/10 Toppings: 6/10 Fries: 10/10 Price: 3/10 Ambiance/ service: 6/10 Total: 46/100

    We LOVE coming to Redcoat Tavern. The food is always on point. Their ham and cheese sandwich is killer, which sounds nuts for ham and cheese. I also love the vibe in there. My only knock is everything being a la carte, it'd be nice to have a sandwich with a side.

    I've been coming here for years and the food is still as good as it always was. Consistency is so important. For starters, we got the French onion soup, battered mushrooms, and Scotch egg. All were fantastic, no notes. As far as entrees, I wasn't too impressed with the Cobb salad but the portion was generous. The burgers were perfect as usual. We also shared a Mac and cheese and it was perfectly cheesy and delicious. We shared the bread pudding for dessert and it was great. Honestly such a staple in the Detroit area. My only gripe with this location is the horrible red lighting in the dining area. I always feel like a vampire and struggle to see in there. The seating in some of the booths feels kind of low and too close to th table. Otherwise, the food is consistently delicious and worth the minor annoyances.

    The service is amazing here!! Very friendly and attentive. Big shout out to Jon! I wish I loved the food. I've been here a few times and it's just okay. Maybe I'm not ordering the right things. The calamari is pretty good, but the peppers served with it are full of seeds so you have work to do to empty them if you don't want a mouth full of seeds. The fried pickles and onion rings are pretty decent too, but a lot more breading than I expected. The French onion soup is tasty. The clam chowder is good too. The Cobb Salad was pretty bland. I'm not sure why. Everything was fresh and tossed beautifully but it just lacked flavor. The homemade ranch dressing is very good. My mom enjoyed her burger so I'll have to order one next time. It's made to your preferred level of doneness and they have a special sauce. The decor is fun---very red and moody. I love the red leather booths, although a few are a bit torn. They have a parking lot. This is a popular place and they are always quite busy. I'll keep coming back to try more things.

    A great and classic burger place! I love the brasserie burger and the onion rings are amazing. They have great Caesar salad here as well.

    Is this a bit on the higher end for a burger? Yes. Will you be disappointed? Never! When we visited recently I said "I have never looked at their menu. I always just go for a burger.". The whole menu looks great, but I can't come here and not get a burger, 1/2 lb burger that I always cooked just right. The buns are fresh and the toppings are great. You can share onion rings, the portion is generous!

    Just a heads up- The first time I came here my order was wrong and I waited over an hour for my to go order. The manager was awesome, explained they had new cooks in the back and that the kitchen was backed up. As someone who's worked in the service industry for many years I understood. He comped my fries and all was well. I figured I'd give them another try. This time I ordered a burger. I asked for it to be well done no pink. I picked up the food took it home and when I took a bite the burger was completely pink. I called the restaurant, brought back the burger, they apologized and had it remade. The waitress and I cut the burger and it was still pink. She took it back again and when she brought it back she said that according to the cooks, it was just the lighting that was making it pink. I took it home took another bite and it was STILL pink. It's a $20 burger, pretty bummed about this experience and probably won't ever go back!

    This place has been a stable in my rotation for many years! I frequent their RO location as I'm closer to it, but I've also been to their WB location as well. If you're looking for a great burger, look no further! Their fries and onion rings are tasty too. Their menu has other offerings but I go there to get a delicious burger. They have a good beer list too which is nice. It's kitschy and old school in there which I like. Their prices seem to have gone up a lot recently, but everything has I suppose.

    Yes. We were there with a large group during Dream Cruise

Our server Scott was a sweetheart and the food came out pretty quickly. He even made me a mocktail that wasn't on the menu with grapefruit juice, cranberry juice and soda. My favorite item was the filet tips- the quality of meat was so good and it was seasoned well. It came with some goat cheese, peppers and arugula. I will say that it was a rather small portion of food though- maybe 6-8 bites of meat. The lamb lollipops were good with the balsamic drizzle but I preferred the filet tips since they were leaner. We also got the beet salad, the vinaigrette was good but otherwise the salad was just ok. Edamame was standard. Veggie/hummus tray was fresh. Lettuce wraps were good but had a bit of a kick.

Clearly they are hoping you order something when it's not HH, as the regular food / prices are about as high as I've seen for what they offer. Not sure we'll be back.

I got the "burnt orange espresso tonic" and a "rosemary biscuit". Both were amazing. The biscuit was warm and buttery and the included jam (which appeared house made) was the perfect compliment. The flavors were all distinct but complimentary and made this into a spectacular treat. The espresso tonic is the best I've had. The flavor was fresh, light and fruity, with the bitterness of the coffee keeping it grounded and sophisticated. I even ate the orange slice at the end. The wait for my drink was probably about 7-10 minutes but knowing that in the future, I'm willing to plan around if the product is going to be this good.

Customer service id rate 4.5/5 it appeared as though a team member was leaving for shift so although she made our first round of drinks and took our order. This waitress was ready to jet out and did not check in on us-- thankfully we didn't need anything more. There after the team was focused on cleaning up for closing time. I understand, but I am still a paying customer too. There is a private seating area that can be rented out, there is the option to rent the entire restaurant too. Inside the private room area there are toys and books- kid friendly and when the weather breaks there is a garage door that can open up to a patio. In addition to pizza and cocktails/beer there is coffee and pastries. I would come back to try the pastries and a latte, as I am not a coffee drinker. But there is multiple bags of coffee for sale too. All in all I am happy we stumbled upon this restaurant based on other Yelp! Reviews. See you soon again.

I said yeah and she went and got a cold piece of cheese and slice of onion and put it on a plate and gave to me to put on my own burger. I'd expected a little bit better service and I'm certainly not someone who demands top tier service from every spot. Fries were crispy but needed some parm or an aioli sauce to dip in. Also minor note but I had some fries left on my plate and when she came to collect plates I had food in my mouth so I couldn't say anything but she took the plate and my fries! They should always ask if there's any food left on the plate. Burger was decent overall, but definitely nothing special. Environment was cool and I'm sure they have got some other delicious items on the menu but for the price paid and service received, I'd go somewhere else next time.
