Went there on 7/29/12 for early dinner. I ordered Chicken Siam & asked to substitute sautéed spinach for the broccoli. As we sat & waited for our meals I watched & heard the hostess walk back & forth in beach-like, flat, flip flops. The footwear choice was not the best choice for a number of reasons. We watched her slip and almost fall on the tile floor behind a counter. While she was dressed well her footwear was distracting, unprofessional, and dangerous. My meal arrived w/asparagus instead of the requested sautéed spinach (or the broccoli the dish came with). I politely brought it to the waitress's attention & she went to get a side of spinach for me. After she stepped away I tasted the chicken. It was fine BUT the rice was cold. Waitress returned w/spinach & I told her about the cold rice. She asked if I wanted a side of hot rice as she was preparing to step away to get me another dish of rice. I explained that I did want hot rice but I did not want to continue eating my hot meal around the cold rice in my plate. She took the dish & brought it back w/hot rice BUT minus the asparagus I had already tasted. LOL! I realize that I did not ask for asparagus but it seemed odd to take it away after they served it to me. My dining companion had already finished their meal by the time my order was corrected. No one apologized. A hostess or manager never came to the table to see if everything was FINALLY ok, and no adjustment was made on the check for the inconvenience & disruption of our meal due to mistakes made by the waitress & kitchen. A woman who appeared to be an owner or manager was behind the counter but she was busy laughing & socializing. A guy in a suit, who also appeared to be a manager or owner, walked back & forth but never made eye contact w/us or a single customer. He appeared to be ringing tickets but not checking on tables (certainly not ours or any near us). Before leaving, my last stop in this world of disappointment was the Ladies Room. Two dispensers for toilet paper. One roll completely empty & the second had enough paper left to blow my nose. Yes, there was another stall, but WTH? It went unchecked long enough for two rolls of TP to be depleted. There's nothing more unsettling than a poorly maintained restaurant bathroom. It makes you wonder about the state of the kitchen. I seriously doubt I'll go back. I might have considered another try if someone acknowledged our service problems. Strangely enough, my sister went last week & enjoyed her meal. I'm not impressed by inconsistent service & I don't want to waste my money by taking a chance if you never know what type of service to expect. They've been open long enough to have worked out these sorts of problems. Final thoughts - Service lacking; unprofessional hostess; mistake in food order; cold food; no apology or effort made to compensate for inconvenience; inattentive servers and management; poorly maintained restroom. Rating: C- read more

0 stars is what I want to give, but yelp doesn't let you . Don't order the Irish eggs Benedict here. They don't know what it is and you will end up with sausage on your Benedict instead of corned beef hash. I drove 15 min to get takeout there even though there are many places closer to me, and I ended up throwing out the food. Thanks for nothing Reds. I won't go back and I would warn everyone go be carefull if you order from here. I will not go back neither will my family read more

very nice delicious and right price place !!! they are very care for customers especially management! food is good and depends on what u order ! the only thing i didn't like no paper towel in bathroom and waitresses are weird probably because they beautiful ladies and no one cares what they suppose to do when customer comes in at least some of them should pay attention who comes in and leaves ! in total there is no issue to not come here over and over ! read more

Red's Kitchen + Tavern - choc cake!! - American Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

Great service! Great portions! Great time! I went here with my husband and two young daughters. Our server was wonderful and attentive to the girls. We went for dinner but I also suggest coming here for breakfast! read more

I haven't had the chance to eat here, but the five stars are for exceptional service. Victoria (the bartender on Sunday night) was gracious enough to serve my friend and I a couple of beers late on Sunday evening after we spontaneously decided to stay near Salem for the night. No other bars were open and Red's had clearly just said goodnight to their last customers. Even though she was cleaned up and probably could have closed up, she kindly served us and chatted for more than an hour and a half. Next time I'm in the area I'll be sure to come back for the welcoming attitudes! Thanks Victoria! read more

LOVED THIS PLACE. Spotless, friendly, AMAZING food!! Corn beef hash...no words, best in Massachusetts by far! Been to breakfast, lunch and dinner and blown away. Drinks are fab and staff is professional and friendly. Don't forget the whoopie pie to finish off your amazing meal!!! No doubt a favorite! You won't be disappointed! You'll be addicted read more

Huge portions, quick and friendly service, even when the place is slammed, which it always is on the weekends. My favorite spot for brunch!

Just ordinary food, cold breakfast! Owner should rethink and perhaps eat there himself/herself. Have tried it twice and will not be back! Place was not clean!!!! Some of the wait staff managed a slight smile. Most had a frown on their faces. That tells me that they don't want to work for him/her. It looks like a cafeteria. Smells like one too. Don't go and waste your money!!!! read more

Got sourdough French toast special. They were thin and very bread like. Not so great. Other items that cost about the same are much better.

I had brunch at Red's yesterday afternoon and it was honestly one of the best dining experiences I've had in a very long time. Our server Chris was hilarious and not that fake friendly server you usually get. The food was amazing, literally everything on my plate was incredible. The dining room is very cozy and they also have a pretty rad breakfast bar that I definitely want to check out next time. I will 110% be returning to Red's! read more

Red's is pretty good. Their food is always good. I would have given it more stars but their service is sooooo slow! Every time I have gone to Red's, the waitress comes to the table for a drink order, brings our drinks then disappears. We got there at 6:15 the other night before heading to Salem and didn't leave until 8:30! I think that the place is too big for the amount of staff that they have! read more

Food was delicious....the vegetables were fresh and the mashed potatoes were perfect. Definitely try the chicken and rice soup. My husband and I enjoyed our meals and can't wait to try breakfast at Red's. read more

Not bad for Lunch we enjoyed a Turkey Sandwich and Pulled pork - the cake for desert was really good! Waiter was excellent, we went back for dinner, mashed potatoes had rock hard pieces, and the food was a little bland. I would go back for lunch the lunch menu is reasonably priced and the atmosphere is really nice. The only think that is off putting is leaving when the wind blows by the trash processing business next door. read more

I've only just been here once and thought it was pretty good. I had a pretty good glass of red sangria and the baked haddock was good. The menu was somewhat limited for me, so it may take some time for me to get back there, but I probably will eventually go back. read more

Oh my goodness, where to start. We went late on a Saturday night. Our server, Karen, was wonderful. She was warm and personable. I had the chicken francaise and it was phenomenal. That lemon caper sauce on the wilted spinach and chicken was awesome. My husband had a budge and it was cooked perfectly. Everything was piping hot. My only criticism would be the rolls and packaged butter on the beginning. The bread was definitely not homemade and pre packaged butter just seems a bit on the lazy side. Why bother? read more

Great food.. Beef tips were melt in your mouth amazing. The lobster pie was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back anytime we are in this area! read more

I eat breakfast there often. Great service and food is cooked as ordered and promptly served hot. Very satisfied with eating there.

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of their breakfast food. There are other local places that I think do a better job with flavor and presentation. Plus, it is always SO CROWDED on weekend mornings. That being said, I really do enjoy the lunch and dinner options at Red's. I think most people overlook the fact that they are more than just a "diner". They make an awesome burger and their baked chicken pot pie is so satisfying on a cold rainy day. It's a solid place to eat, just maybe not for breakfast. :) read more

Went there for breakfast with hubby on a Sunday morning. There were no dairy free options for coffee creamer so I was kinda bummed. But the food was delicious! We got scrambled eggs, corned beef hash, home fries, and a country omelet plate. Everything was fresh and very tasty. Hubby doesn't typically like home fries and loved them. Waitstaff was lovely. Just wish they could keep a pint of soy milk or something on hand for us lactose free people! read more

My girlfriend and I decided to go for a late breakfast on Memorial Day, and, to sum it up, we most likely won't be going back. First, the good things: they had HUGE pancake portions (we had to ask for a second plate just to be able to manage all the food), cheap prices, very nice building and atmosphere, and good coffee. Now, the not so good: my girlfriend ordered 3 chocolate chip pancakes, but got 2 blueberry pancakes (we decided not to send them back because it took so long to get the first batch); at least one of my plain pancakes was undercooked to the point of still being doughy; no option for real maple syrup; and very slow waitress (two tables that were seated after us left before we were able to, and we certainly didn't dally). read more

Good food, decent prices, quick service. If you are hungry for some good breakfast and don't have a lot of time to spare, try out this joint. Grab a seat at one of the horse shoe bars (first come first serve), and order up. My suggestion is corned beef hash. read more

We celebrated my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's 30th wedding anniversary yesterday and were able to reserve space at Red's. This was the second time we visited and were not disappointed. It's a great place to enjoy a meal and relax with friends. The atmosphere is inviting and the food was delicious. A simple menu but plenty of things to enjoy, depending upon your tastes. The fiery chicken wings, while not really "fiery" are great for starters, and the burger and steak tip dinner were very enjoyable. We won't hesitate to entertain friends at Red's in the future. read more

Just went here tonight with my husband. I honestly didn't know what to expect and left thinking to myself when can I come back! The server was great, managers very friendly. We ordered arugala fried goat cheese salad, highly recommend and half size of lobster Mac and cheese and my husband had the greek stack salad with sirloin steak tips that were out of this world! My mouth is still watering from dinner. The restaurant has only been open for one week and has six five star reviews. If you left here unhappy there must be something wrong with you! read more

We decided to get an early start on shopping before " Sandy" today and this was our first visit to Red's Kitchen and Tavern on Route 1 North in Peabody. It was really good, the breakfast prices are reasonabe, we would recommend this restaurant anytime !!! read more

This is the second time my boyfriend and I have ate here. The 3 stars is for the fabulous steak tips we had. However our waitress sucked! No personality and completely rushed us out. read more

We (2 adults) went the other evening for dinner with our 4 yr old. Pros: New, clean, friendly staff, huge menu selection, plenty of parking. Cons: Not kid friendly - no booster seats, no kids menu, placemats, etc. Inexperienced waiter didn't give us rolls before dinner. After asking, received a few cold rolls with dinner. Broccoli side not cooked, hard & raw. We weren't asked if we wanted any drink refills. Drinking water tasted really bad..most likely it was Peabody water not filtered. read more

We tried out this new joint about a month ago so they were still trying to get in a groove. Keeping this in mind, I really enjoyed our dinner here. The pretzel bread they started with different but very good. I ordered the turkey dinner and the homemade stuffing brought me right back to the Thanksgiving table. My fiance ordered a chicken dish and he also said it was good. The only thing I was disappointing in was that they had a "box" on the app menu that wasn't available it. read more

Took my kids there for an early dinner and was very dissapointed. The best thing we had were the warm dinner rolls prior to the meal. The bison burger was cooked like I ordered it but was very average and flavorless, The american chop suey was tasteless (I've had better out of a can) and the chicken sandwich lacked flavor as well. Maybe they don't believe in proper seasoning because everthing totally lacked flavor. The fries were OK, the ceasar salad was also BLAND and dry. Worst service I've ever had a restaurant ever! Groucy, bitchy waitress who also spilled the special burger sauce all over my leg and complained it's just "one of those days". PLUS she never even bothered to ask for a drink order...so we all just drank water to see if she would ever ask...didn't happen. Nice decor but that's about it. Overall Rating:..... D+ read more

My girlfriend, her family and I go to Red's every couple or three weeks and I've had everything from the fresh spinach and cheese omelet to the chicken pot pie. I couldn't recommend this place any more highly. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. The food is great and the portions are HUGE. The prices are more than reasonable. And the staff is friendly and personable. We have a favorite waitress, Debbie (who makes the Whoopee Pies from scratch, by the way), that we request every time we go. Whether you're in the mood for breakfast, lunch, supper or just bar food and drinks, Red's is the place to go! read more

Best breakfast around!! My favorite is the eggs Benedict and they make it a lot of different ways! Not only is their breakfast Great but I have been in for dinners as well! Their bartender Kerri is super friendly and always gives great service. The managers there are super nice and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good meal! read more

Some of the staff are spectacularly lethargic, while others clearly do a disproportionate amount of the work on a very busy Sunday morning. Great bagel sandwiches though. read more

I took my family here each of the last 2 weeks and all 4 of us did not like the meals we ordered it will be our last time going there . the food was terrible. I've been here quite often but it has been a while and the dinner experience has gone down hill . you are better going elsewhere. read more

Red's Kitchen + Tavern - American Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

You've been warned, the pancakes are approximately the size of a truck tire. You can always tell who hasn't been to Red's before because their eyes are the same size immediately after they arrive. :) read more

Just popped into Reds on our way north from the airport after realizing that kitchens would be closing within minutes and we still needed dinner. No time to Yelp, just go with the instincts. It was a fine choice. I was ready for the very nice prosecco and bitters beverage and the beer selection on tap met hubbies needs. The steak and baked haddock were of average quality and preparation. One of the owners stopped by to inquire how we were doing, which always speaks well of a place. I'll keep Red's on my fall back list. read more

Never a complaint @ Reds! Either location, Salem or Peabody, you can't go wrong! But if you want breakfast then I suggest Salem. Debbie was my waitress in Peabody tonight and she was fabulous!! Her recommendations were spot on; delicious short ribs appetizer, for example! I love you Red's xo read more

I have been here a few times for breakfast/ brunch on the weekend and they are so busy and do a great job with service and food! If you sit at the counter top- it is self service/ no wait for a table if you can find an open spot I always get the homemade corn beef hash which is delish! parking can be a bit tough.. but worth it! read more

Went to red's on a Thursday night for dinner. Fish n chips was okay, steak was dry, chicken pot pie flavorless, chicken sandwich was ok, chicken and rice soup was salty, burger was good. Service was good, food delivery and minimal follow up. However when one of our party told the server that the soup was really salty, her response was "I don't cook the food." Bad form. Atmosphere was fine. The experience was a bit underwhelming. Won't choose to come back bc the food was mediocre for the price. read more

Had the worse service we have had. Not sure if management is aware but our waitress couldnt' seem to remember that she had us as a table. She was mostly in the other room and after waiting over 15 minutes she finally came over to take order. Someone else brought food out. We had to flag her down for refills on drinks. Another waitress had all the other tables in our area and she was very attentive to her customers, brought water, rolls etc. We got none of this along with waiting over 15 minutes at end to get check. Husband had to go in other room to have her get our check. Absolutely worse service ever. Food was ok. Nothing special. read more

Went there for the first time Sunday for lunch. The food was excellent and was very reasonably priced! I got the chicken marsala (lunch) and I had to bring half of it home. The food was delicious and you can't beat the price. It's a very casual place but the quality of food, service and selection make it appear much more upscale! We'll definitely be going back! read more

Pleasantly surprised that it is as good as the Salem location just in a fancier building with a bar. Giant portions at a great price. Definitely one to add for weekend brunch. read more
