the bar

The absolute best meal I have had in a long time! I highly recommend. Great music, best food ever, wonderful owner. We had the prime rib special and it was seriously the best meal, fresh salad picked out of the garden on site, most tender and flavorful prime rib. Smokehouses on site, gardens on site, truly local food.

The stage!

You will love Red's Coldwater BBQ and Blues! Take the time to visit a very unique, eclectic environment, awesome BBQ with a twist, all created by talented chef James. Great music, great atmosphere and incredible BBQ! If you are passing through - it's a must stop, great experience!

The music room!

See all

This is a fantastic restaurant. It is run by dietetic and hospitality students. The restaurant is…read moreopen to the public every Tuesday and Thursday for lunch and dinner. Lunch is from 11:30am to 1:00pm. Dinner is from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. A meal consists of a drink, plate of bread, appetizer, entree, and dessert. Entire cost of a meal $7.00 for students and $10.00 for general public after tax. The quality of the food is on par with eating on the square. You can't beat the price and quality. The students are always friendly and it is a lot of fun to eat here. Where else can two people have a nice sit down meal for less than $15 bucks?

I've returned to Lenoir Dining several times over the past year hoping that it will improve...or…read morethat they'd at least provide comment cards since the goal is to educate hospitality industry students. The food ranges from good to inedible. Today is an example of typical Lenoir quality: the salad was good, the watermelon salsa was all yellow, watery and did not taste of watermelon, the beef kabobs were tasty but overcooked, and the turtle brownie desert was a messy pile on the plate...ugly, drenched in caramel, and littered with burnt chewy parts. The service and the atmosphere is always awkward. The dining area is a long narrow space and groups of servers (students) pile up at one end of the room chatting, with the cash register at the other end right next to the tables. It is dreary, and feels more like a funeral home than a casual dining venue. The students are learning and the price is reasonable for a 3 course meal...if it was all tastey. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect the managers, chef and staff to try to learn from their diners. Time to expect more of Lenoir Dining...or I'm calling chef Ramsey!
