Great local bar with a great outdoor patio for the summer. They have the best $5 burger night I've been to, even though they don't give you steak fries anymore. Expect to meet strangers and have some good times read more

Waiting staff wasn't very good. It took so long to get refills and by the end of the meal I was ready to leave. I will not return there!

Went here for lunch. Liked the atmosphere, food was decent bar food. Nothing to rave about.

Did not get here until about 10 pm, Had a 23 oz beer and a good meal with a couple of friends at old style Grandview area bar. I will have to get back here again soon. read more

Went here for lunch today. Been here many times but I think it isn't quite as good as it used to be. I got the Reuben and the wife got a BLT. The meat on my sandwich was a little tough but not bad. It is a good sized sandwich. The bacon on the blt was over cooked and hard. Not too good at all. Also, the bean soup was a bit pricey at 3.95 for a cup, Not a bowl. I think the prices are a little high as everything is an up charge. Sandwiches are about 9 then extra if you want fries or o rings. Its just a neighborhood bar so they aren't spending money on ambience. Still give it a three. Not bad. Could improve and prices are a little high. Looks like a decent place to drink though. read more

Got my old favorite the Buckeye burger. Mushrooms, bacon, and tons of bleu cheese. Fantastic!

I was there tonight for a late dinner snack. My wife and I split the a sandwich and ordered a beer. The bartender/maid took our order and retrieved the beers for quickly. Not much of a personality. Then we got our food, which was good. Then the barmaid gave me bill. Didn't ask us if we wanted another drink or how was the sandwich. I thought it was strange, but I was going to order another beer or two. The place wasn't busy, so no body wanted our table. She took our bill and came back and didn't say a word and gave me my receipt. Bottom line-food was good but service sucked. read more

The feta dip was AMAZING. Just the right amount of spice and loads of flavor. Service was good, employees always nice. Liked the patio! Got the turkey sandwich with the pretzel bun- delicious. Wasn't a fan of the meatloaf. Also, no cider selection. When I drink, cider is my go to and they didn't have any! Great mixed drinks though. read more

Had been in the place a few times, and stopped in a couple Saturday's ago for a quick bite and a couple beers. Sat at the bar where my friend and I were the only ones, got a beer and menu. After that the bartender (whoever she was) ignored us and talked on her cell phone for 1/2 an hour or so. I guess someone called off, which would have been understandable except we were the only ones at the bar and there was a server taking car of people at tables. Finally after a while of ignoring us she told one of the servers she had to go pick someone up and left us there, with no bartender, and without cashing us out. We waited a few minutes and no one else came to the bar so we left cash and walked out. Saw the bartender who had to rush out to "Pick someone up" standing in line at another store a nearby. Until this I thought this place was pretty decent, but that was enough and the last time I'll go in. read more

This place is awesome. It has an outdoor patio, where you can actually smoke during dinner...who knew! Their hamburgers are my husband's favorite. I mean favorite above anywhere else in the country! My favorite is the French Dip with some carmelized onnions added on...soooo good! Prices are very very reasonable. I think you would really enjoy this place. One of our favorites! read more

Red Door Tavern was most of what I was hoping to experience in a small local tavern. The interior is eclectic 1960s sort of inn-by-the-sea feel to it. There are two distinctive rooms; one houses a small'ish bar that patrons gather at and with a few booths and tables; one half is table and booth seating and is properly cut-off from most of any noise that might, "come from the drinking tavern patrons". It's a good set-up which made me feel like I was a welcome guest, no one staring at me and friends like we were outsiders. The drink service was fine, cordial, orders brought quickly. The disappointing part was the simple food order of chicken nachos. They were very "cosmetic" in that the chicken was in diced pieces, the chips from a bag and the cheese very plain, probably Kraft Shredded Cheddar. And only lukewarm on arrival. So maybe the food isn't the way to go at the Red Door Tavern or maybe there are food plates that are better. I like the quaint nature of the Red Door Tavern for drinks with friends.... but a little iffy for most else. read more

I have been to Red Door many times over the past 5 or so years, but the service in particular keeps going down. My family likes the menu, especially the burgers. We decided to go back even though the time before was pretty bad-fish with mostly batter and when asked the server said she thought it was supposed to be like that; angry employee and friends being given free shots on the patio and drunkenly yelling at her dog and cursing worse than a sailor (newsflash-c*nt is not an OK word) on a packed night. Anyway, we decided to give it another chance. On this visit we had wings that were under-cooked (red and pink), but they were replaced. Fine, I thought. Our order of cheese sticks never came, and when we asked about them as our entrees arrived, the server said he could still put them in. We chose to have them taken off since we wanted them as an appetizer. Still, no problem since the entrees are pretty good in size. The burgers were good-those alone would be 3 stars. Then we gave credit cards to the server with our checks, and he came back without my card-my husband had to help him find it after 15 minutes of searching inside. But what really got us was how the server took our order. He asked me, my husband, and my daughter what we would have like a normal server would-polite and nothing out of the ordinary. When he got to my daughter's boyfriend, whom is African-American, his approach was, "So, you gonna eat?" We really could not believe how inappropriate the comment was. We will not be back. read more

The best hamburger I've ever eaten. The nachos weren't very good though. read more

My wife and I have been going to the Red Door Tavern for several years now and have never had a bad experience until our most recent trip. I do want to say that the food we ordered was decent. Not as good as we have had in the past, but decent. Other than that our dining experience was MISERABLE! Our bartender, I will refer to him as "Angry Zach", was terrible. He barely acknowledged us and it was fairly obvious that he does not like his job. The beer taps were malfunctioning and this sent "Angry Zach" over the edge. It was uncomfortable for us to say the least. The place was uncomfortably warm, a few of the televisions were not working properly, and it took FOREVER for us to get our check. The place could also use a good cleaning INSIDE and OUT! This is just my opinion, but the Red Door Tavern seems to be a neighborhood icon that has seen it's better days. We won't be going back anytime soon and that is a damn shame! read more

My review of red door tavern (or as my wife and like to call it "RDT") is much overdue, as we have since been here at least a dozen times. Our experiences here by and large have been positive. Throughout our time here, we have opened every meal with a half order of Mozzarella sticks which are so delicious - always hot and crispy. We have had an issue which can be pretty frustrating of the mozzarella sticks showing up the same time of the entrees, thus defeating the purpose of the appetizers, but have found by asking that they be brought ahead of time this could be mitigated. In terms of entrees, I usually stick with the burgers and in particular the Arlington burger. While a tad on the greasy side, the burger is simply delicious. It is huge, loaded with mushrooms and good fixins', and always difficult to finish because there is just so much of it. My wife typically gets different variations of turkey-based sandwiches and mostly prefers the turkey club and turkey reuben. She did once get the famed "Pelican" but she found it rather bland. We both like the fries or chips (and pickle!) that come with the sandwich. Service in general is pretty good, more so if you are seated in the front seating section and not the back, where service is a little more lax. We did sit outside once and didn't really enjoy it as there were tons of loud, barking dogs which we found off-putting as we were trying to eat. Also a miscellaneous plus, but they often would send a buy one get one free coupons in the Valpak coupon book that we would get every month, making an affordable place even more affordable. Also the place has some interesting decorations on the walls, like a map of all the US presidents from Ohio, which my wife and I would like to periodically review and test ourselves on. Overall, good food, good service, fair price. Will most certainly be back again. read more

We've been coming here for years and have enjoyed dining here but the service has gone downhill Tonight we came in and ordered the wings as an appetizer the waitress even asked us if we wanted blue cheese or ranch with them. We also ordered soup and 3 of us ordered the buckeye burger. The soups came out fine but we never got our wings . My daughter asked for American cheese on her burger instead of blue cheese. When she started bringing the burgers out we told her that she had the one with American cheese she must of realized that her burger was made wrong cause she brought everyone's food out but my daughters. She also said she was bringing drink refills out. We were all eating and she still didn't have her food. Everyone was almost done and she still hadn't got her food. We saw the girl standing in the kitchen area fixing her hair with her bare hands when she looked over our way and got a surprised look on her face like she just remembered something. She came out with a pitcher of tea for refills but still no burger for our daughter . My daughter told her to forget about it and I told her we never got our wings either. She apologized and told her she wouldn't charge her for it . She boxed the burger up and brought it out. It was cold and when she opened it up to look at it it obvious that all they did was scraped the blue cheese off of it and put American cheese on it cause there was still pieces of blue cheese on the bun . They weren't even busy and the waitress didn't even have that many tables so she can't blame that on forgetting everything . This isn't the first time we didn't get our appetizer . We ordered the wings a few months ago and didn't get them that time either after the waitress told us how good they were. They need to train the servers in customer service and seeing her fixing her hair in the kitchen wasn't very appealing either ! read more

Our goto spot for watching [Cleveland] sports. Awesome staff, good food and the crispy-est Miller Lt you'll ever drink. Nothing like a frozen mug full of watery domestic beer, seriously. Their craft draft selection is pretty limited...but that's not why I come back. Check this place out, it's just shy of a dive but has all the charm. read more

Great, local dive bar in the Grandview area. Beers are reasonably priced, and the food is (at least for me) surprisingly good. They also have an OK patio that has lots of shade. Definitely recommend! read more

Weird place. Feels like it hasn't been updated since the '60s, which is kind of cool. Food isn't that great, but I've only tried it once... the menu seems to be lacking compared to some other taverns/pubs though. I stopped in with some friends during happy hour another time and found the beer prices to be very good. Overall, it's a place I don't mind visiting if the group votes for it, but otherwise I don't really care to go back. read more

I have been a long time regular at Red Door. I always liked the old school atmosphere, friendly wait staff, good food quality with unique items on the menu, reasonable drink prices. They redid the menu eliminating entrees and some old favorites, upped the prices on drinks and food to the caliber of higher tier restaurants, without upgrading anything with the physical space, food, or beverages. If you order a sandwich or burger, you have no idea whether it is coming with chips or fries or if anything can be substituted. I won't be back. read more

Came in on Saturday and sat out on the patio had Steve as my server he was fantastic very friendly and fast never had a empty drink and my food came out really fast. And the live music was a great addition to the atmosphere read more

Red door is that place that may not do one thing great but it has so much going for it above average that it will never come up short. It has a decent beer menu and corresnding prices. It has a large menu of average and sometimes above average food. Tater tots are a great change of pace. Seating works well in small groups or large groups Of families. As a local joint that does so much, it is always on our short list of dinner options. read more

Pretty good place, with pretty good food. It is a bit "divey" but the people have always been nice. They have some good drink specials and good sandwiches. I like the back patio...go out back and enjoy a quiet night outside. read more

Met local family members for lunch here. I had the Fiery Feta Dip, which comes with grilled flatbread and a few vegetables. The dip is fantastic, spicy but not too much. More vegetables than than the two sliced cherry tomatoes and two slices of cucumber would be appreciated. My son had a cheeseburger, plain, cooked medium well. It was delicious and juicy and he is still talking about it. His fries were delicious. Will look forward to our next visit! read more

Upon entering this vendor I was under the impression that I was in for a good meal and a cold drink, little did I know I was in for a big surprise. After waiting 10 minutes at the bar I was finally tended to by an employee that appeared as if she had just woke up, smoked a cigarette and said "fuck it". She cared very little about what was going on at this establishment. I asked a few questions about the items in the menu which at this point to no surprise, the employee was of little help. I finally settled on the nachos and a Pepsi. The food came out in a serviceable time, however the meat was cold and the chips seemed stale. The worst part of this experience was I found what appeared to be a water bug in my Diet Pepsi. I was so disgusted I left what I believed exceeded the bill and left. Never again will I enter the Red Door Tavern. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in columbus! It may seem silly but the food is always great and the service is so friendly. I live down the street and can walk here, I come at least once a week. I've never had a bad meal! Their burgers are delicious and always cooked to order. I also love their salads. the Greek salad with the blackened salmon is one of my favorites. The decor and interior are definitely a little eclectic but I love the personality this place has. If you haven't been here you've gotta check it out! read more

Have been in a couple times for some drinks with friends and it was an over all very pleasant experience. One of the few places the carry Summer Shandy on draft and has really good sweet potato fries! :D read more

I've been going to Red Door for a good 30 years and have loved it! Last time there was a year ago and it was questionable then. Friends coming into town wanted to eat there-so. went there tonite. What a disappointment! Sat on patio-many broken chairs-no candles or any decor on tables or patio. . Speaker played music-it was loud-but worse--it was a radio station-so you had to listen to loud commercials also! Annoying! Waitress was awful-not friendly-no eye contact-kind of flippant. Service was slow. Food was awful. Menu has been drastically reduced-but prices have gone up. And lastly -when I went inside I found it quite dirty. No wonder there was only a handful of people there on a popular nite-popular time. I wonder how it is still going! I will never go back-and for a long time it was my favorite Grandview establishment. Rather sad! read more

This place has probably one of the best Philly Cheese steak sandwiches I think I have ever had! Also, we had 2 parties in there private room and the owner treated us like we were family. Pretty hard to find such a place like this in C-Bus... read more
