What a wonderful place! We've been here several times and it has always been excellent. I highly recommend the pulled pork sandwich, smoked andouille sausage po boy and the garlic fries.

Poor Red's is a "total package experience." Known fondly all around the world, it is part dive bar, part BBQ joint, part excellent bar, and part local hangout. And it is better now than at any time since we've been going there (50+ years and counting!).

Came here for a drink after having pizza at Pizza Norcia. We were in town visiting friends and wanted a night cap before heading back home. It was Friday and it was crowded with locals, mostly bikers. We were really there bec we wanted to try their famous Cadillac cocktail. We ordered that and it was interesting. They poured it in two cups which was nice, kinda bogo on drink. It's chocolate liqueur that almost taste minty. Didn't finish it but at least I can say I got to try it. Also got to read the history of this drink and it was really cool Will comeback next time to try their food

JESSIE is the Best! Great Bartender with a great attitude. I come once a month from Vegas just for the Ribs and Gold Cadillac. All the food is good and the drinks spot on! Great people watching and a good mix of locals and out of towners

My daughter and I stopped by this restaurant on a whim because we are really hungry and on our way home. I will lead with the staff seemed friendly and attentive, so we had no problems with that. The food, however, was a different story, I think they need to clean their flat top because we ordered burgers, and they had a strange taste to them I can't describe it, but it wasn't normal. It was just off. We also ordered the potato skins which had three little strings of dried up pork on them and blobs of barbecue sauce. I would think that the barbecued meat on top of these would be the selling point because that's what they are , a barbecue joint, but it was pretty disappointing, The minuscule amount of pork and the dried up stringy texture was just sad. i'm not sure if we just came on and off night but we definitely will not be back.

The roadhouse sandwich was amazing. I substituted garlic fries for the regular ones these are far the best garlic fries around!

First time here. They had an awesome Valentine Dinner special. But I got the half rack of ribs and baked potato. More food than one person can eat.

We were so excited to try Poor Reds and drove 45 minutes to get there. When we arrived, 5 of us. Three adults and two children, they were very busy and customers seemed to really be enjoying themselves. We waited patiently for over 10 minutes as multiple staff members passed us by. No one greeted us or acknowledged us even through they all looked right at us. I walked up to the seating pulpit, and the woman in her 60's, was utterly rude. She snapped at me for replying to a question that she asked. She asked who was next, and I replied that we were all together. Then asked me well, what do want? Um, a table please. She was so rude we walked out.
