Bunch of scammers and liars. Including the manager. My fiancé has been owed a refund for months now and all they do is lie and say they sent it. Why can't black business ever do the right damn thing??? Never again. read more

While sitting at red star watching the Bears game. We sitting at the bar 4 of us after being there eating & drinking spending our money. They tell us we have to move up out of our seats because people have made reservations. For the bar which is sooo far from the truth. The reservations are made for the tables only..!!! The advised 1 of the young men that he could go outside & sit on the patio .. AFTER spending his money. This is not a rule. They really showed they true colors today. It was more people @ the bar they never told them to move only us. TERRIBLE BUSSINESS!!!! Now I've been going here for 10 years. Food & the vibe is good, but today They really DID A BIG 1 .. to try & make us move.. NEVER GO HERE !! I'll watch the bears somewhere else. Very unprofessional!!! & the manager VERONICA DIDNT HELP THE SITUATION!!! read more

Red Star Cocktail Lounge - Bears game!! - Pubs Near Me - Richton Park, Illinois

DJ didn't show up until 1:34pm but DJ Moe makes it worth it. Catfish and eggs - This was so darn delicious! Scrambled eggs with cheddar were the best I've ever had. Thank you to the Chef for cooking the cheddar into the eggs as opposed to melting it on top of the eggs. Steak and eggs....the steak was ordered well done which is never my recommendation so I can't trust the review that was given by my dining guest who suggested that it wasn't the best quality of beef. I'd order it medium well at most. Dining guest still loves the potatoes. Catfish and grits - Dining guest was in love! I think that the shrimp was an add on and I'm going to try this. Server: Rikki be working it! She's been our server for the last two visits and she's consistently polished, professional, accommodating and always killing it under pressure.

I came here last weekend for the first time for my Best Friends Birthday. The atmosphere was nice, mature and laid back. The bouncers at the door were extremely nice and attentive to our needs. The music was nice to get up and dance. A great place to mingle and unwind after a long work week. Really Grown and Sexy. The drink menu had some nice specialty drinks and food selections. I really enjoyed how the DJ mixed up the music from R&B, To House Music and Hip Hop. It was something for everyone to enjoy, I was surprisely amazing how great of a time we had at this place. We drove all the way from the West Side of Chicago out to Richton Park. We were not disappointed and had the time of our life. FYI: No Cover Charge. Wait: They even have the Red Carpet rolled out for you at the front entrance. Lights Camera Flash. Pull out those phones and take a few Selfies..... Look forward to visiting again.

This place was soooo good! I had the short rib melt. Food was hot and fresh, service was awesome. I sat at the bar and was treated great! Drinks were awesome and cool R&b music played all night! Strongly recommend!! read more

While the food is good depending on what you choose, the Customer Service SUCKS! It took 10 min to finally be greeted at the door for a seat. After 30 minutes of waiting for a server to come and greet us at our table or even bring us water, I went back to the Host at the door inquiring. We saw they were busy and tried to be patient but it shouldn't take 30 minutes to stop and acknowledge us, at least get a drink order to enjoy until they come back and take our order. The Host shared with us that the waitress was helping in the kitchen and got someone else. We still waited another 15 minutes before anyone came over. We left!!!! Unbelievable! And this is not the first time we've encountered this, the third and definitely the last. They do not know how to run a restaurant. I have never experienced this at other restaurants that are just as busy as they are. read more

The food was amazing. Service was prompt, personable, and accommodating. Great recommendations were made for both food and drinks. Came on a Sunday for brunch and football and the ambiance was very inviting. Good music during commercial breaks and the games on several tv's. Highly recommend you checking this place out! Our server was Sharee and she was a joy to have. read more

Came here for a birthday staff was very personable, friendly, accommodating. Staff was short but it was a lot of us over 20+ Terrell was very helpful. The food good. The short rib flat bread was NOT stingy on the short rib. It was very good!!! read more

I enjoyed the food and music. Great service as well. Plenty of parking. Lot of tv to watch the games. Great music but need better speakers.

The food was good. The service was good..we had fun. The crab cakes were delicious. I loved the strawberry waffles.

This was my first time eating at RedStar. I'm so glad that I had a chance to come to this restaurant. The service was GREEAT (In my Tony the tiger voice) and to top that, the food was DELICIOUS!!! I love the ambience of the restaurant too!!! This is a great place to bring out of town guest. I will be back soon! read more

The waitress was very nice and helpful, the food was great and the drinks were amazing!

I love this place! This was our first visit to RedStar , and Chris was awesome he made us feel so welcome. The service was great, the food was great, the drinks were on point, the atmosphere was perfec! Overall 10 out of 10. We will definitely be back! read more

I went on a Saturday. It was early and not packed so no excuse. The bar waitress was so busy talking. We sat for more than 10 mins. When we received no service we left bc I shldnt have to be asked to be served. A simple acknowledgement would have sufficed. She was so oblivious to us sitting there that as we were leaving, she was walking out from bar area to give menus to two people that walked in after us. Let me say one bad experience wont prevent me going back but it has left a bad taste . read more

I went here last night with some friends. I placed an order for Parmesan wings. When they came out , they were small, very small. I wasn't expecting white sauce on the wings. I was expecting wings like Buffalo Wild Wings. The bartender/server informed me that the wings were Parmesan ranch. There were 6 wings and 3 of us ate 1, which left 3. I told the bartender /server that I was not happy with the wings. She asked if I wanted to order something else. I said no. I was willing to just bite the bullet and pay for the wings (that also came with season-less fries) because I was under the impression that this was a black owned business and I wanted to support. But when I received a bill that included gratuity for some wings and a ginger ale , I was pissed! $14! For some nasty ass , little ass wings that tasted disgusting ! And the fries had absolutely no salt! The ginger ale wasn't even good. How can you screw up a ginger ale? Hardly no fizz. I asked the bartender/server about the gratuity and she said it's automatically included . Then she said " didn't you like my service "? No I did not! I told her the food was nasty and she did nothing about it . So no, I didn't want to leave gratuity ! She said because we ate a lot of then , she couldn't refund it ! Wait ! What ? It was 3 of us sharing the wings and we all ate 1 at the same time and agreed it was nasty af!!! And furthermore, it took her a long ass time to even come to the table. We waited at least 15 minutes and the bar was empty !! I asked her was the chef black ? She said yes. I couldn't believe a black chef would produce chicken wings like this! Embarrassing to the black race !!! I would never ever come back here . Total waste of time!! The karaoke was supposed to start at 9, it started at 10, and still the bar was empty! When I left around 11, the bar was still empty ! read more

My boyfriend and I heard are from Fort Wayne, IN and we saw this place on YouTube per The Black Foodies we had to try it.. well we came in and the vibe was everything. Chris was our server and he was very attentive even tho they were real busy. We had the blackened salmon, the short ribs grits, the drinks lights out and island tingz. I was very happy with our selection. DJ was rocking the joint out and the screens were playing my favorite team the Bill's. We heard that they have comedy on Tuesdays but we wont be here... thanks for the wonderful experience..2 thumbs up to chris read more

I had a surprise party for my sister's bday! I use to drive past this place all the time, and never knew it was there! I finally decided to stop in once day...& i must say...VERY nice establishment!!! Amazing food/drinks!!!! & they had a very good Dj! I WAS MOST DEFINITELY shocked, for this place to be as good as it is, theyre not packed to capacity! Overall...I really enjoyed myself, and keep up the good work! read more

Highly recommend this establishment! Nice atmosphere, great service, food, and music!

I love the vibe here . On Thursdays the deals on tacos and drinks are decent. My friend and I loved the atmosphere. They play chilled music. The taco sauce is A1. If you want somewhere to chill and talk come around 7pm . Our bartender was adorable. I will definitely come back. read more

Cute spot, okay service. They did not have half of the menu available and initially messed up our drink orders. But I've heard good things, so this could have just been a bad day. read more

The comedians that they had were a ten. If I could give a zero rating I would. The time that it took for us to get our food was about two hours! Totally ridiculous! read more

I love this place! The food is good and so are the drinks. I always have a great time! I've had several parties here and they're always amazing. read more

I was invited to RedStar for a comedy night. The comedy was excellent however the bar tinders were not accommodating. Possibly, because I wasn't apart of the birthday crew. I've been to many venues and bars as different events were happening and still served as a guest. I sat at the bar all night, the bar tinders NEVER asked me for a drink or food item. I tried to get the bar crew attention a few times to spend my money on food and drinks at this establishment but was highly unsuccessful. I will NEVER go back to the RedStar and will share my experience with others. read more

This is my favorite karaoke bar to go to on a Tuesday night. Great food and great service

The food was good and the drinks were great but eventbrite said there was a comedy show on Thursday that was actually on Wednesday so that information was what falsely got me there in the first place. smh read more

This is sister club to Redwood in Olympia Fields. It's hip and the music is not too loud. Great drinks and great club atmosphere. It's always juking. I spoke with one of the owners and the are adding some hot happy hour menus and drinks. This will be a great afterwork spot. I encourage you to come on out. read more

I live near RedStar. Every conversation I've had with someone from this community concerning this establishment has been negative. I've tried to support this business on several occasions. From my understanding the owners also own Redwood Luxe in Olympia Fields. Although I don't enjoy the food at Redwood Luxe, I enjoy the drinks & the dj's they have. RedStar on the other hand is a total disappointment. I recently attempted AGAIN to support. I looked at their IG page & it says they have $3 you call it's from 5-8. I have my husband meet me for a quick after work drink on a Thursday. Get there it's empty, bartender finally comes out...says no that special is not still going...even though it's 5:20pm. I then order ask how much for a margarita, he says $6. I order 3 margaritas and an order of nachos (the food specials listed on the chalk board were also no longer in effect. ) Bill comes to $37. I ask for a receipt, oh sorry I'm new and I messed up & can't print a receipt. I clearly saw you throw it in the trash. He's the same guy that used to make the food when they only served "tapas." He's also the one stealing debit card numbers in there. I've seen it with my own eyes. The guy is a con artist that's skimming from the bar. Apparently the owners haven't caught on yet. If you visit this place, use cash & get a receipt. I've seen several people walk out for false advertised specials that they claim don't exist. Not to mention, they always advertise these events like Karaoke, Adult Talk nights...then you try to attend and the place is completely closed. This place is a joke. read more

Music started out good (varieties of old school) then it switched to current rap (not a big fan). Food is just ok and mixed drinks lacked liquor. Drink prices were on the high end considering this is a lounge in the suburbs. ALWAYS ask for the receipt as the bartenders automatically add a tip of $5 to the check so ensure you are not double tipping (unless you want to). read more

Old school feel the club was dull dismal looking something in the kitchen caught on fire but it was contained very scary
