This was my first visit back here since 2018. I had grouper back then and have never had Redfire's steak, and RJ has never been here at all. We got seats at the bar right away, and the bartender was knowledgable and friendly. She got RJ signed up for rewards which include another restaurant he visits often. We started with cheesesteak spring rolls which we try every time we find a new version somewhere, and they were crispy and delicious. I'm not 100% sure which steaks we ordered because we forgot to grab the detailed order receipt. However, I only order filet mignon and I believe it was with au poivre, and his was probably some type of strip because that is what he usually gets. The steaks were juicy and cooked perfectly with that buttery smoky flavor that comes from whatever magic it is they do back there in the kitchen. It was melt in your mouth goodness, and RJ was jealous of my mashed potatoes and broccolini. We finished with the cheesecake which was so original and different with apple butter and pecans. This was a perfect ending to our visit, and Redfire is definitely going on the restaurants we love rotation. read more

Stopped in on a Friday night-We had reservations, and I strongly recommend you do the same-place was bustling! Bar area with high tops when walking in, dining room as well. Menu had many choices, we opted for some steak dishes. I really recommend their wings-they were delicious. Everything was good, waitress was excellent. read more

Lovely steakhouse in Hockessin. Great service. The steak salad was really good! But the show stopper was the exotic mushroom soup. I honestly didn't expect the soup to be so tasty. Plenty of seats. Beautiful set up inside. read more

This a a quaint, upscale restaurant perfect for a special occasion! We tried this restaurant for the first time to celebrate a birthday and couldn't have been more pleased. The restaurant was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious! What more could you ask for? I started the night with a peach cosmo and let me tell you - if you like a sweeter cosmo this is the one for you! The peach taste was just so good! The rolls they brought were fresh and hot. The spinach dip was hands down one of the best I've had in a long time. The mushroom soup was literally perfect. My co-diner had the sweet potato soup and it was also very rich, creamy and tasty. And the steak we had was cooked just as we were expecting of a medium rare and was super flavorful! Yes, it's more on the pricey side but it's a high-end restaurant. We'll definitely be going back! read more

A great local restaurant for yummy burgers and excellent steaks. I was surprised to see lobster on the new menu. It did not disappoint. Fries, butter poached lobster and affogato were a perfect "girl dinner". read more

Bring the wallet! Severely overpriced. Small portion sizes for the price. Awful value. read more

I had a hankering for a great cheeseburger and Redfire Grill proved to be the perfect place to satisfy my hunger. Burger cooked just as requested and shoestring fries all perfect. My companion had the crab cakes appetizer and a Caesar salad. She was happy with everything. I tasted the salad and the dressing tasted a slight ginger/citrus flavor? Maybe it was just me as my friend didn't agree with me Our server was sweet and competent but she disappeared several times. The vibe is very similar to some of the other platinum restaurants, pleasant and lounge like atmosphere. read more

Food was fine. It was happy hour at the bar. I ordered their house Cabernet and then a second. When I got the bill I was shocked to see that the wine was $22 a glass. At no stretch of the imagination is this a happy hour price for a 'house' wine. Surely if they are charging this sort of price during happy hour it ought to be mentioned when ordering. I paid the check and mentioned that it was high for a house wine and was told, not very politely, that I should have ordered the Malbec as that was the only one reduced. A bit of a sticker shock to say the least. read more

Reminded me of a Firebird's inside. Dim but pleasant lighting, and well decorated. Nice bar area up front, and friendly service. Food is varied and good. Burger was excellent. read more

Left a review on trip advisor as well. What a disappointment this was. We saw the pics of the main dining room online and were very much looking forward to a date night! Made a reservation only to be sat in a back room with large groups and families with little kids. We could see the main dining room from where we sat and it looked warm, lovely and lively! Not for us though sadly. Was going to order a cocktail and steak, but the experience lost the vibe. I got a mixed salad and added shrimp, there were literally 3 on the salad and they weren't even very good, salad was incredibly mid( lettuce, shredded carrots, green onions& vinaigrette)Such a shame, it had so much potential, but they obviously did not give a crap for our business as we walked by empty tables in the main dining room. I even said to the guy who sat us "wow, throwing us in the back?" He smirked and walked away. read more

One of my favorite spots. Not sure why reviews have been dropping lately cuz it's the same great steakhouse i've always known. The garlic bread with gorgonzola fondue is my absolute favorite. A good steak shouldn't need steak sauce, and that's absolutely true here. Love the vibe, went on a weekday so it wasn't super crowded though. read more

Perfect date night ambiance! The Red fire Grill Steakhouse was a great experience for the hubby and I. We had a 6:15 reservation and was brought right to a table. Our server was very pleasant and knowledgeable of the menu. We started with the cheesesteak spring rolls and the Brussels & Bacon both were delicious. Our entrees were the Boneless Short Ribs and the Seared Scallops. The portion sizes were appropriate and filling. We had room for dessert, if you can believe it. Hubby got the Bread Pudding w/ raspberry and I got the vanilla soft serve with rainbow sprinkles. The great food and inviting atmosphere guaranteed we will be back. read more

My Wife had the Ribeye, creamed spinach and fries, I had the NY Strip, fries and creamed spinach. We had the Philly cheesesteak egrolls which were excellent. My NY Srip was loaded with a tendon and gristle. The Ribeye was too chewey. We will stick to Firebirds and Longhorn for a better tasting steak. We might have caught them on a bad day? Ordinary steaks at Hockessin prices. Sorry to say, we will not be back. read more

Came here for the first time two weeks ago and absolutely loved it! The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice. Highly recommend ordering the Brussel sprouts as an appetizer. Would love to come back here soon! read more

Stopped in for a cocktail and an appetizer and found two seats at the bar. We ordered the sliders and onion rings. The sliders have this amazing maple pepper bacon - so good and cheddar cheese with 1000 island dressing and the onion rings are homemade with a dipping sauce. Both were very good and the onion rings were so crunchy and not greasy at all. The food came out quick and hot. Drinks were great and Jen the bartender was awesome. read more

Was there for brunch, service was good, food was very good. The only complaint is that they have a banana split on the dessert menu, but it's the first banana split I ever had that didn't have bananas in it. Disappointing read more

Went a few weeks ago. Enjoyed the ambiance and service was on point. However, I do feel that the price point for the food (although very tasty) was just a little high. Do want to return to try their Sunday jazz brunch eventually read more

Redfire Grill and Steakhouse - a drink on a table - Steakhouses Near Me - Hockessin, Delaware

This place is going downhill. The food overall just isn't as good as it used to be and is very inconsistent. I'm not sure whether they're trying to be a casual restaurant or a steakhouse or what. They removed one of my favorite vegetarian entrees off the menu which was the black bean burger and it was house made. They replaced it with this cauliflower burger which was so bland. I couldn't even finish it. Clearly others felt the same way because they removed that. Now it's some pasta dish. The crab cakes that used to be delicious are now gross and salty. The first time they changed how they made them management fortunately made it right and didn't charge me and got rid of it. I tried the crapped cake two more times and it was just not edible. I do like the chopped salad which is my go-to. It's really the only thing on their menu I can eat without getting sick because of my dietary restrictions at this point. I'm afraid to order any of the other seafood dishes other than a side of shrimp because of the saltiness and whatever else is going on. It's large and fills me up and has a lot of goodies in it. When sitting at the bar if I want to snack in want to eat healthy, they'll whip me upl some carrot sticks and ranch dressing. When I'm in a position to cheat, I do love the artichoke dip in the crab dip. They do a beautiful job with those. Again very inconsistent. The wait staff is still really good. And we do enjoy sitting at the bar because we can get an affordable bottle of wine that we like. It's their house wine and It's pretty okay! They have an extensive wine list with wines priced from high twenties to the hundreds. If you order a wine that costs three digits, they'll give you a decanter. We are not those people. I ordered a Belvedere martini and they charged me $20. I pay that in a major city. This is Hockessin. Come on. Do better. But then I can get a martini that's another top shelf vodka for $16 which seems to be the going rate. This used to be our go-to restaurant, but it really isn't anymore. This is a restaurant we'll choose as a last resort if our plans fall through or we need a quick dinner. Even the appearance has just gotten dingy. I don't think they've really updated in the carpet is really gross. Restaurants should not have carpet. It's unfortunate and I really hope they pull through and do better. I feel like this restaurant is having an identity crisis. But they don't charge a credit card fee! read more

Everything was great! I took my wife here for her birthday last Friday and we enjoyed it! The waiter was kind and generous and the food was excellent . The ambiance was the perfect atmosphere and I would definitely go back. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

By far one of our favorite spots. The food is not only delicious but they are consistent. Highly recommend

In the past, this has been a great place for celebrations. Went there today for Father's Day. It was a huge disappointment. The restaurant was pretty empty but the food service was incredibly slow. Our waitress was attentive but it took forever to get our drinks and food. So sad that we need to find a new restaurant for celebrations!!! read more

So good! The mushroom soup and garlic bread in gorgonzola fondue were so good, I had to go back and look at the menu again the next day to see what was in it. My date had the scallops which were also delicious. The flavor profile and quality ingredients are well curated. I wish I lived in De, I would be back often to try everything. read more

Place is very clean with a great atmosphere and staff. But the dry aged steak was the lowest quality meat you could purchase. Just salted to death to try and hide the cheap cut of meat. read more

Had previously been here several times for birthdays and anniversary's and I raved about it, bragged about it, endorsed it. Came on Sunday the 4th of February, 2024 and I am flabbergasted at how this place has destroyed itself in such a short period of time. Got here at 7 20, ordered Bao Buns immediately and then the rest of dinner 15 mins later. The Bao Buns are no longer proper steamed Bao Buns...which is not indicated on the menu...they are now fried and the manager assured me that was an intentional choice and their customers love it. Well...if you appreciate a proper bao bun you know that flattening them and frying them are not indicative of a good Bao Bun. Whatever, we let that go. We ordered our main entree's at 7 35...there were three tables in the restaurant. I had to get up and go to the bar over 45 mins later to ask what had happened. Manager came out and apologized and the food came out. My ribeye was ordered Medium Rare...it came out rare and the fat wasn't rendered. It wasn't edible so quickly gave up. Took another 15 mins for anyone to check on us. Finally came out and the waitress relayed the manager (who wouldn't come back out again) had taken the steak off and was sending out a dessert for free. At this point our babysitter was already on extra time and we declined and asked for the check. The dessert came out anyway which we had to send back. The waitress never apologized a single time through the whole experience, whom we assume forgot to even place our order as nothing else explains why it took nearly an hour for our meal when three tables were in the restaurant. The manager never came out again. We had been here many times, always enjoyed it. Will tell everyone I know not to go. It was appalling. Still tipped 20%+ on what the total would have been cause I'm still gonna give the benefit of the doubt that the kitchen botched it all...but I don't feel it's likely this was isolated to kitchen staff... This was my new mainstay for event dinners...we will never be back. read more

We didn't think the Redfire Grill was good enough for a fourth star. Food was sort of middling, and the ambience was "smack you in the face red and black." Service was good, however. read more

Three of us had a wonderful dinner at Redfire on February 12. It was our first time there. We found the quality of the steaks and seafood to be exceptional. Rowan, our server, was very professional and service was prompt and appreciated. He also knew how each entree was prepared and gave us great advice. We will return there many times. read more

Great place to hangout and lunch and dinner menus are on point and not overwhelming. Servers are always delightful! Highly recommend

Just a delightful Saturday lunch. Their patio with ceiling fans is lovely. It all left me feeling very normal after COVID. I had a steak salad. Fresh, mushrooms were a wonderful addition, steak was perfect, dressing didn't overwhelm. Staff was professional, attentive, but not overwhelming. Very nice. read more

Our family enjoyed REDFIRE for my granddaughter's graduation celebration on JUNE 9, 2024. The food and drink were exquisite and aesthetically pleasing. Kudos to the Chef and entire professional, courteous staff; especially our waitress, Hayleigh, for a fun and memorable evening. The atmosphere in the intimate private banquet room was very much appreciated, however, the artwork was not appealing for a dining experience! read more

Ate here last night with my husband and a friend and was very frustrated with the service. We were seated in the bar area as there was a band we wanted to hear . Our waiter came over and took our drink orders fairly quickly. But then we waited 30 minutes for the drinks to arrive. The waiter came over at one point and told us that he was only 18 and it would take longer for him to get his drinks ( he said the older servers could make the drinks themselves) . After waiting 30 minutes I went over to the bar which was extremely chaotic and saw a manager and the server with our drinks. When I mentioned to the manager we had waited 30 minutes, she got an attitude and told us that the server was only 18 . Ok - WHY would you have an 18 year old working in the bar on a very busy bar night.? In all honesty this kind of spoiled the evening for me . The food was ok - very salty . But nicely presented. I will say that none of what happened was the server's fault- he was doing the best job he could under the circumstances. read more

I don't know where to begin with this... but let me positively say: we enjoy this restaurant. The food is always good. Our not so positive experience: It's a Saturday night.... I understand the restaurant industry.... but we were in the doors before 4:30. We tried to be responsible (and respectful to the service industry) & go out early because we have our 6 month old son. The restaurant was EMPTY. The host explained the only table we could have was in the bar area and we had to be done within 1 hour and 50 minutes... ? Huh? I was so taken aback. So, I was confused and questioned the host again. Why did we have to sit in the bar area with our obvious infant/carseat carrier and all? I asked if we could be in the main dining area like off to the side .... Cause ya know: a baby? He said no and that they have 250 seats reserved for the night... Ok. We're a family of restaurant workers. We get the "weekend dinner rush", but it seemed so far fetched and over the top as if we were the inconvenience... Thank goodness we were done eating by 6 ! Wouldn't want the table cops to be called on us!! Anywho - food & service was great. Erik (Eric?) was awesome and a great server!! So just be advised: Make a reservation. Even if it's for 4pm. read more

Redfire Grill and Steakhouse - Fillet mignon and garlic green beans - Steakhouses Near Me - Hockessin, Delaware

Nice outdoor/patio seating area and the restaurant is quite spacious. I ordered a steak salad and it was ok. The appetizers of cheesesteak spring rolls and buffalo chicken dip were both really good. Service was inconsistent with a lot of people suddenly checking on us within a few minutes apart and then we'd wait for a glass of wine for too long. There's a nice back area/room that accommodates parties. read more

My wife and I were seated promptly for our dinner reservation. Our waitress came over introduced herself and took our drink order. The beer menus is small, but the cocktails and wine menu are impressive. The fried calamari app was delicious. The main course menu was impressive also. Small and straight forward. I will be going back read more

Our expectations were high but it was sadly very mediocre. The steak was grilled but lacked any grill marks and was almost overcooked to burnt but the inside was somehow medium rare to rare when it was ordered to be medium. Very little seasoning. It definitely lacked a simple seasoning of even salt and pepper. My halibut was cooked well but was also very bland. Being known for steak, it was disappointing. Being positive, our server was attentive, the potatoes served with our meal was delicious. The atmosphere was adequate but for the price they should have linens on the tables. read more
