I love this place. Great food and nice atmosphere. From the photo of sheriff buff lamb on the wall to the 50s dinette chairs. Now let's get down business, the food is outstanding. The burgers are well worth the money. I highly recommend the senior burger with cheese and french fried taters. This is the kind of place you will be bragging about to everyone you know insisting "you gotta try reds" read more

Really disappointed this place used to have a great breakfast now it seams to have become just another burger joint. Yes it has a theme but so does McDonalds. Just sad. read more

Went there about 5 pm for Coney dogs and was told that they only had one hot dog! The others were frozen. ‍ I took the one they had and there probably wasn't even a tablespoon of chili on it. Very poor planning and management! read more

Been two times both times the ice cream items were the best! The hamburgers were really bad. The bun was cold like it just came from the fridge to the window. The hamburger party was burned on on side and was so cold the grease congealed. French fries were the consistancy of cooked spaghetti . Won't be back, except for a milkshake, maybe. read more

Red's...Red's Red's Red's...I really wanted to like you. I have been to Red's twice. Once in the evening around 6 pm for dinner and once around 12:30 pm for lunch. When I went in the evening for dinner the place was really busy and it took 25 minutes for us to get our food. We ordered food to go so it left me wondering how the drive-thru line wasn't out onto W Sunshine street. I have to assume the drive-thru was moving quite a bit faster for some reason. That being said the food was hot and fresh and everything tasted great. The 2nd time I went was a worse experience. I got my burger and fries in under 10 minutes but everything was cold. I mean completely cold. A few of the fries had a slight bit of warmth left but there was zero warmth to the burger. They were churning out orders pretty quickly so I have no idea why my food was ice cold. I was pretty disappointed. The quality of their food is great but their kitchen practices clearly aren't efficient. I'm not sure I will bother with a 3rd try. read more

This is a temporary review..... Opening day....1:45 in the afternoon.....4 cars were served in drive thru in 40 minutes. I made it from Sunshine to the second row of parked cars on the front of the building in 45 minutes and had to give up since I was on my lunch break from work. Needless to say, I did not get to experience the food, which was extremely disappointing. Management really needs to put a little more focus on the drive thru, we expect speedy service and this fell so way short of that. Averaging one order every 15 minutes is a bit much. Had I stayed, with the number of vehicles in the drive thru, I figured I would have received my order about 90-120 minutes after I entered the lot. Unless you've got all day to sit and wait, don't bother for the first couple of weeks until they find their way. read more

I am not understanding the major hype that I've seen about this place. It is extremely crowded and loud. To top it off, their burgers are basically overpriced Steak and Shake offerings, and their milkshakes are only sub-par. The only pros we saw were the fries were fantastic and the music playing over the speakers. For half the price we could've eaten at Steak and Shake and gotten similar food. read more

We had their double burger and fries and it reminded us of our mom's! Great food! Just wish there was another location closer to Nixa!

Cool atmosphere but that's about it. Burger was just fine. Chicken strips and onion rings were not very good at all. There were way too many people there for my liking. It was loud enough without the obnoxiously blaring loud speaker directly over it our table. It was lackluster food and not worth the trip. Only go if you want to see the pictures. read more

It took 30 plus minutes to get through the drive through. There were maybe nine vehicles in front of us. The burger wasn't giant. The meat was dry but the package was strangely drenched in grease. The flavor was poor. I ordered onion rings and a root beer float. They both were very bland. It was obvious to me that everything was made with poor quality ingredients. If you are looking for a large messy burger then go to five guys. You get far more for your money and it is actually moist and far more flavorful. Don't waste your time. Anyone who rates this as good (especially with five stars) has an unrefined palette and needs to travel and experience actual quality food. What a shame. From what I heard I expected far more. read more

Excellent burger, prepared as requested. Look out Five Guys, you've got some new competition. Disappointed in Red's new price increase, but still a quality burger on a fresh bun (a wee bit too greasy). The gal at the drive through window is a keeper! Friendly with just the right amount of sass and perky. The 4-piece chicken tenders with fries (was $5.99/now $7.99; a 35% jump!) is huge! Good place for lunch. read more

For all the hype, I was disappointed. Went through the drive-thru. Ordered my cheeseburger with bacon... everything else I ask for was on it except the bacon. I don't mind a cheeseburger without bacon, but when you pay extra for it, you kinda expect it to be there. No napkins.. 'guess you have to ask for those. Otherwise it was average, at best. 'Guess my expectations were too high. Braum's actually makes a better cheeseburger and you get the bacon when you ask for it (and napkins without asking). I'll give 'em a few weeks to get it together. I know it's a new place and they've been really busy since they opened a couple of weeks ago. But I can pretty much bet that if they can't get at least a little closer to what people expect, they aren't going to last. If the experience isn't better for me the next time (probably a couple of weeks), there likely won't be a third time. read more

First time YELPER and first time visiting Red's and was very impressed with the speed of the drive thru, the price and quality of the food, and the kindness of the employees. The burgers and cheese fries and onion rings were phenomenal. I will definitely be returning and spreading the word of this great establishment. read more

Waited an hour in line for a burger and fries and it was not worth the wait. I'm all for a nostalgic drive-through spot but the food was mediocre at best. I will say that the chocolate shake was good but nothing else lived up to the hype. I hate to leave a bad review but I would put the quality of the foot somewhere between Sonic and Freddy's. I really wanted this to be a great place but it just wasn't. If you want to feel nostalgic, thumb through an old year book - If you want a great burger - go somewhere else. read more

Okay food, but the staff tells you they have gluten free buns then the drive thru people have no idea what gluten- free or celiac means- major food allergy, they should probably get it straight. read more

I'm so old I remember the old Red's. My first husband knew Red. I had been looking forward to this place opening! The food is good most of the time the service is usually good. Tonight I came in at 9:30, I had my food and then I had the audacity to actually want a desert and one of the young kids that work there actually looked at the clock and then the manager came over and he waited on me and he was pleasant - but the young kids that work there are just *almost* disrespectful. read more

Disappointed! Service OK not great. Food OK but not good enough for me to go that far out of my way often. The decor is sweet & place very clean but as I said quite a way off my beaten path to go just to eat. If I have business in that area probably will stop in again. read more

Chicken fingers and hamburgs are the next level of deliciousness and the employees are very friendly and kind. Definitely my family's favorite hamburger place in Springfield. read more

Great made to order burgers, hand cut fries made fresh and crispy and slightly salted the way fries should be. House made root beer is fantastic and the staff is always friendly. The chocolate shake is also pretty great, rich and creamy. read more

Great burgers, classic style, reminds me slightly of in n out. Fries were excellent as well, similar to 5 guys fries. Went on a Sunday morning and it was crazy busy but that's because it's good! By the time our food came we found a table. House sauce is a thousand island type of sauce, it's not bad. Will be going back! read more

Seriously the best burger I've had. Also had their chili cheese fries which again were amazing! Pretty neat environment. Definitely recommend you try it out! You won't be disappointed!! read more

It was very chilly inside. Hamburger was an 8.2 out of 10 and the fries were a 7.1 out of 10. I have spent many years traveling the country trying local burger places. I do believe that Steak 'n Shake is superior in the Springfield area. Overall I enjoyed it and the service was good. It was a flash from the past! read more

Cool little drive-in, the polka dot table is my partners favorite, makes her smile. Awesome fries, great dip, burgers have been wonderful, shakes are my favorite. Love the car! read more

Finally !!! Springfield has a REAL old fashioned hamburger drive-in .....the way it's meant to be ......great food and awesome atmosphere !!! I highly recommend REDS !!! read more

We visited Red's a few days ago. As we were walking in the parking lot, a man leaving told us that it's an hour wait for sit down and they were not doing that. We decided to get take out and then found out it would be 1/2 hour. So we stood and waited. As we waited, I observed that a bunch of tables were empty. No surprise.I watched the one man cooking and I thought of Steak n Shake and the several hustling cooks they had. I did see a gal making French fries and one other cook, but I didn't see him cooking. It's no wonder it was taking so long. We finally got our food and my husband said the burger was good, but not great. His fries were just warm. I ordered only cheesy fries. They came to me warm and the cheese was not even slightly melted. In spite of that, they were very tasty. My daughter and family visited that same week and ordered chicken. The chicken pieces were so dry, she almost could not eat them. She said the onion rings were really great though. Her two teen boys had eaten there a few days before and said the chicken was great. If some adjustments are not made, it will be difficult to continue to be a popular place. They need several good, speedy cooks, not one or two. I hope they get their act together. I really want them to be successful like Chick-Fil-A. They send people out to the car line to take orders when it is long. No big wait there ever. read more

I do NOT recommend! I had very high hopes for this place as I am a big fan of burgers n fries but this turned out to be a complete letdown. I ordered a triple cheeseburger w/ chili cheese fries and a draft rootbeer, my mother came along with and ordered a single cheeseburger w/ fries and a malt. Both of our orders were completely wrong not to mention it was horrible tasting. On my order they gave me regular fries instead of the chili cheese fries, the fries were so plain. The cheeseburger had burnt edges all the way around the three patties, the cheeseburger tasted absolutely disgusting, I had better tasting cheeseburgers from McDonalds (I guess you could say I'm a burger fan, I had multiple different burgers from tons of different restaurants both fast food and cafe/sit down across two different states) so I know a good cheeseburger when I have one but this one was just plain terrible. On my mothers order the gave her a vanilla shake instead of a malt and they originally forgot it, she had to go up to the counter about 5 minutes after we had received our food and the lady behind the counter replied "oh I forgot it's right over there". I finished the fries but not the burger, about halfway through eating the burger, I felt completely sick, tired, and was sweating perfusley. After we left I had began getting sick (actual sick, vomiting) and was sick for approximately two days, I was told it was food poisoning. This was not a good experience here and I will personally not be going back. I do NOT recommend this restaurant what so ever! read more

Don't waste your time or money. The decor is amazing and that is it. We were there on a Saturday at 3:30 pm. I ordered a chili dog and fries. It was cold and the chili had a sour taste to it like it was old. My granddaughter had the chicken strips. The inside had green pieces of meat in it. It also was cold. Was this meat old? Spoiled? I found out that the owners also ran Buckingham Bar-B-Que. My husband got sick after he ate there once, and we never went back after finding out they had trouble passing city inspections. So very sad. Nothing like the original Red's. read more

Such good food and an even better atmosphere! Fun to look at all the pictures posted. I did have to go to the counter and ask for my shake but if that's the worst thing to happen, it's a good day. Of course they are still working out some kinks, it's a mom and pop shop that has been open for three weeks only now. To compare this restaurant in its infancy to national chain restaurants is unfair judgement. 10/10 will be back again! read more

Do not go here! The service is horrible, we had to wait 25 minutes for cold food. We were not offered a refund for our wait. We were offered fries for the wait but no refund. The order was for to go and after our 20 minute wait, we went up to ask about our food and the manager told us that it "got mixed up with the lobby food". This was an excuse for bad service. We got our food and one of our burgers were wrong and the fries were not filled all the way. Stay away from here at all costs! read more

Finally got to try Red's today. I have been in search of a worthy Hamburger place since I left Milwaukee (known for some of the top Burger joints in the country)20 years ago. Lived in Dallas, Minneapolis, Little Rock and Springfield, never found a comparible one until today! Place was packed, then again it was lunchtime. Decided to go in and avoid the drive thru(good decision) One woman working the counter, but no line at the time, went with the single cheesburger combo, they also make a double and triple. Order came out in less then 10 minutes. The single was a perfect size, do not let the name of it "Juinor" fool you, it filled me up. I orderd it with Ketchup, came with mustard, not a big deal. Onto the taste, The burger was amazing, a perfectly seared smash burger, yet, not too thin. the fries were hot, thin and fresh and plenty of them. I do not understand some of the poor reviews, but it might look like they fixed some of the Grand opening issues. Red's Burgers in my opinion will be the type of place that if people ever move away from here and come back to visit will be the first place they have to go to. Forget the chains and try this place out. read more

My husband and his friend went their today. Had to wait over 30 minutes only to receive very let down food. Wendy's is far better than this. And significantly cheaper as well. Apparently is costed over $8 which he received a child sized burger and awful fries. Will never be returning to this place. Such a waste of time and completely disgusting food. read more

I was so excited about Red's coming back that I didn't mind waiting an hour and a half at the drive thru. When I paid for my food I noticed that all of the cars in front of me were giving their food back and I did too. Wrong order. I was expecting this out of the world Giant Hamburger. The name needs to be changed. I got a giant double burger combo. It's the same size of a Mcdouble at Mcdonalds. The The beef patties were over cooked. Very dry and tough. Thet were out of several kinds of pop. I'm hoping this was first day issues. But so far the people I know that have been there has been cery disappointed with their food . If you are expecting Red's menu then you will be disappointed. The Brewing company is the source of their rootbeer instead of Red's famous rootbeer. They are gonna have to make some several changes if they expect a good customer base. They can't just go by fancy decor from the inside and out. One if the co-owners own Buckinghams on S. Campbell. I'm gonna stick with Buckinghams for now. read more
