I have worked behind reds for over 3 years for your local trash company, i have gotten sick 3 times and stopped going, everyone in our building has gotten sick from the food, the restaurant is open kitchen type so you can see everything, no gloves, no hand washing, no hair nets, no sanitary rules, and we are located where the chefs take breaks, RUN read more

My go-to breakfast spot. No breakfast place (and I've been to many) has been able to surpass the gold standard set by Red's. The food very seldom disappoints, if at all - the portion-sizes and value are excellent! I will continue coming here so long as the service and value remain the same! read more

I ordered a a caesar salad with steak tips ordered medium and got this. Extremely rare and disgusting. When I told my server, they took it back and recooked the same steak tip instead of giving me new ones. read more

Disappointing experience. Ordered eggs Benedict but they forgot the English muffins and the Hollandaise.... The poached eggs were way overcooked and the hash was totally bland. read more

Love this place in Seabrook. Love Jack,Rene and Jess. Just don't understand why they changed the bar stools. We are bar people and those seats were so uncomfortable. We're afraid if we can't get the high back chairs well have to leave. We love our bartenders. read more

Ugh. I really wanted to like this place. But I feel rushed every time I go in here and the food is just not too good. I've given it so many chances for some reason but recently had an unsatisfying meal here. The food comes out in approximately 2 minutes and I always feel like everyone who works there wants me to get the heck out ASAP. Now for the food quality: The last time I went here, I ordered an omelet (Jan 2019) BIG MISTAKE DON'T DO THAT. It was very flat and cold and wet EW ick. I had to go to Perfecto's afterwards because my belly was not satisfied. However, if you do go here, get the pancakes. Those are pretty bomb. If I ever go back here, I will only ever get pancakes. But there are so many better breakfast places in the area that you can go to. read more

My parents who are in their 70's took me here a few times. And both times it was not good. The only good thing about it was our sweet waiter, Chad. Very patient with my eldery parents as they do take awhile to order. 1st order: Chicken Parm sandwich with hand cut steak fries What I received: a generic chicken patty that every restaurant serves and pre-frozen weird tasting steak fries that originally came in a bag before it hit my plate. And they sell at any local grocery store. Nothing hand cut about them. 2nd order: Pulled Pork sandwich with sweet potato fries What I received: Thank god I pulled the sandwich apart and didn't eat the bread because HALF the sandwich was literally a huge glob of fat. No meat. ALL gross nasty fat. They cover the pork in cheese so you don't know your not eatting meat, but yet a glob of fat Luckily I had my sweet potato fries for dinner. So it cost me $10 for sweet potato fries. I told my parents let's stop coming here. read more

Friendly service, food quality and quantity was far beyond expectations, atmosphere of a family place. I would recommend to anyone. When think of the type of food here think really, really good diner then elevate that a few notches. I will definitely be returning when in the area. It's worth going out of the way to eat here. Located in a small truck stop but not truck stop quality food. 1000% better than a typical truck stop and probably in the top 1% of diners nation wide. read more

The hash brown was not good. I don't eat pork there was bacon pieces in it. I asked the waitress if it's supposed have bacon in it she said no, and that it must have fallen in it. Mind you I don't eT pork, she never offered to change it. I wanted my steak tips well done but there was pink in it so they had to put it back on. It wasn't really good. The cinnamon French toast was ok. Nothing special ! read more

Utterly disappointing and disgusting experience, which is shocking! This site needs help, it does not run like Salem!!! Thank god for the gal who use to manage Salem being there otherwise it would have been a total Cluster. The manager at this site is completely ineffective and in my opinion useless. Came in sat at the bar in the section that had my back to the kitchen area. Service was ungodly slow and the restaurant was not busy, I came in early afternoon just before breakfast ends on a weekend. I sat there forever until the gal who I recognized from Salem asked if I needed anything... She took care of me the entire time, my waitress was useless. When I finally got my steak and eggs, it was just played in front of me a male waiter came to ask me for my ketchup, literally put his hands on the bottle and said "you're done with this right".... I looked at him and said I haven't even had a chance to use it, All he had to do was walk 5' and he could have had all the bottles of ketchup he wanted! While I ate the wait staff Clearing other tables put the dirty food dishes right next to me on the bar, Literally I sat next a dirty dishes the whole time it was disgusting... They were too lazy to put them where they belong which was certainly not next to someone trying to eat their meal. One of the dishes had to be a Caesar or something and it smelt like heck. I spoke to the gal from Salem, who was the only reason I didnt walk out and said how horrible this experience was and that I would tip her but not the waitress (she was there to cook I believe that day). She wouldn't take the tip....It Also should be said that she was institutional in getting out the orders, directing staff behind me, not the manager. I even asked her to get the couples checks across from me who had eaten and where getting take out because they had the scene useless waitress. I did speak with the manager about my experience and she again was ineffective and useless... This is a stop for colleagues and I on call on the weekends....Needless to say I wont be stopping and will advise them as well... You should fire your current manager and hire that gal from Salem to manage and whip that cluster into shape... read more

Ahhhh, Red's is everything I wanted it to be. My favorite cafe is a place in Savannah, GA named "Clary's" and Red's felt like the northern version of Clary's. Everything was fairly priced and the food was plentiful and good. Everything was on point and it was one of the more solid meals we had in New England. It was so good we contemplated going back to Salem just to try something different at Red's. I got an opened face chicken parm sandwich with fries and my wife (New England was our honeymoon!) got a chicken pot pie. Everything was really good and my chicken was crispy. The fries were hot and everything hit the nail on the head. My only one tiny complaint is their coffee is pretty okay. It's not the best and it's definitely not the worse; it's the definition of alright. read more

We've been here a couple of times for low-key place to meet friends. Good all around and very nice and friendly staff as well.

Went on busy holiday Columbus Day Sat at counter, quick service, quick food Had lobster pie with mashed potatoes, very good & very reasonable $14.99. Ny steak eggs & homemade hash, all very good. Liked seeing owner helping all around restaurant and checking in with customers! Only negative got titos plain Bloody Mary on the high side $12 read more

I am from Chicago and we were visiting a friend here in Boston. The food is good and plentiful. There are a lot of locals, which is always a good sign. They only serve breakfast in the morning, and lunch starts at 11am. The staff was friendly and there are lots of choices on the menu. read more

Terrible service! We have never received such bad service at a restaurant when the order was incorrect.

Quality Control: The restaurant was extremely hectic this evening. You came to our table and asked us to put a review on here for you. Here it is. My wife and I are very avid restaurant goers, always love trying a new place out and this was our first time at Reds. Management here had very poor table side manors, one manager I'm assuming in particular (short haired woman with glasses) was far from polite to the table around us. We sat by the small corridor where coffee and drinks were gotten by staff. She was constantly shaking her head and did not respond respectfully at all to a party of 5 with two handicap elderly people, who were sat at a booth with chair end that was not accommodating to their needs at all telling them they can sit there or go wait by the door. Also she adruptly grabbed a chair from the table next to us for a far away table I'm assuming which startled the two elderly women sitting there, whichblater had guests meet them for dinner and did not have that chair. Polite thing you'd think would be to asking it'd be alright for her to take that chair as they were trying to enjoy themselves. Very unfortunate, management needs to be wiped clean and staff needs to be properly trained. Food was great but staff otherwise read more

Our hotel we were staying at was a mile away so we stopped in for an early dinner. Food was great! Burgers are super big so you will not walk away hungry no matter what you get. And their cocktail menu was awesome; so many choices and all delicious read more

Delicious breakfast. I prefer the lunch menu for the value but in general, this place is great.

1st time here. Was not impressed. Ordered a soup and a burger. Got about 25 min down the road and when to eat it. Asked for a medium cooked burger, think was well done and burnt. Soup wasn't even warm. read more

I've had breakfast here a few times and it's definitely hit or miss. We come here mostly because they have bloody marys. Today was a miss. I ordered avocado smashed toast with pico de gallo and poached eggs. They must be out of avocados because it was slathered in store bought mushy guacamole. My husband didn't care for his hash benedict. He said it was also mushy and tasted like it came out of a can. And his potatoes were charred burnt and black. Even half a bottle of ketchup didn't help. I took a picture of my potatoes to show the unbelievable difference in what they should have looked like. How does a cook let 2 orders go out together with such drastically different potatoes? Not sure we'll be back after this. read more

Very simple. Cost efficient. Never had a bad meal at Reds. A little tough to get into during typical breakfast hours but totally worth the wait which is usually never more than an hour. They do a blueberry almost cake-like french toast and it is fantastic. Thank you Reds! read more

Chicken sandwich was meh. Fish and chips was pretty flavorless. French fries were flavorless. Tiramisu was delish. Waitress was very friendly. read more

Fast service great food and great prices. My favorite breakfast place very well staffed as they are friendly and professional

Fantastic breakfast - Also I always worry about busy places quoting a 20 minute wait time. In this case, my 20-minute wait wound up being only 15 minutes! My waitress did a stellar job and the hostess certainly had a sense of humor - though to do with a big crowd. I'd suggest ignoring the one star reviews - some folks are not happy until they are miserable. Breakfast is also surprisingly inexpensive at Reds as well read more

Good Breakfast except they have a hard time cooking home fries never seem to be completely done

Came back to Reds for convenience and because breakfast was pretty good. Tonight's dinner was outstanding! Our server Shauna (sp?) was the hardest working bartender we have seen. Pleasant, enthusiastic, and a big Patriots fan! My beef tips were cooked just right and tender. Hubs had haddock bites and declared them to be flavorful and fresh-tasting. Red's is definitely on our list when we are next in the area. read more

So our server was wicked nice. A total sweetheart. OK, got the good stuff out of the way. Took mom for brunch and we've passed this place before. Always a wait so the food must be good, right. Survey say *errrrr* Let's start with the ultimate Bloody Mary. Totally false advertising. The shrimp on it was so old and dry that it was inedible. The drink itself was bland and uninspired. The food, Irish Benny. They left the cbh on the grill too long and it had a burnt taste. That's probably the only taste it would have. Hollandaise was equally sans flavor and bordering on criminal. Home fries were good. See mom, I started and ended with nice. Seriously, the north shore needs some better breakfast place on Rt 1. read more

Nice looking restaurant. I've been here a few times. The menu looks great however the few times I've been there I thought the food was mediocre. It's fine. This is the kind of place I visit once every 5 years to see if it improves. Maybe I'm not ordering the best choices on the menu. I'd suggest they are worth a try. read more

Reds is one of my favorite restaurants. It is shocking that there are any negative reviews on this spot as it has always been a great family restaurant that I've gone to for years. Not only is the staff is friendly, but the food is always amazing. The prices are fair and menu is extensive so it is always a great choice, no matter what type of dish what you are craving. 10/10 read more

Heading out of Boston for a day trip - our "fancy" hotel's restaurant was slow and way too expensive. So we found this gem heading north. Food was probably one of the best breakfasts we've ever had. Patricia was so attentive and the prices were great! The place is really big so don't let the full parking lot fool you. If we were able, we would have gotten to go food - but we have no storage.... Can't say enough good about this place! read more

Service was very fast even on a busy saturday morning. Food was good. We sat in a corner and as soon as we sat down we started to feel extremely ill. We think that there was an entity haunting the corner. As soon as we left we felt better. I would suggest coming here but don't sit in the corner in the back. read more

Apps were pretty good - bang bang shrimp, calamari and $1 oysters - but none of us were thrilled with our main course. Fried chicken was dry and not crispy; haddock bites were okay; Cole slaw is the worst I've ever tasted; French fries were pretty good but onion rings not so much. Service was excellent, however, and they make a pretty good Bloody Mary. I would go back for drinks and apps but don't plan on having dinner there again. read more

The food and service are always good. Enjoyed their bacon especially. Full menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I have been here twice. The first time it was the first week it opened. My husband and I sat at the bar. We had some duck appetizer that was small, unsatisfying, and overpriced. Also, I asked for three drinks(that were on their menu) and the bartender(nor the others) knew how to make the drinks. We decided to chalk it up to the place needing more time to organize and 'find its groove'. Second time, we took my friends here for breakfast/lunch. One friend had a buffalo wing wrap, which she described as 'the same as McDonald's, except I paid more here.' Another person had eggs benedict with cornbeef hash as the meat(as opposed to canadian bacon), which was described as flavorless. Another person had blueberry bread french toast, which was very dense and didn't have any blueberry flavor. I actually was happy with my choice - a Greek omelet. I tried all my friends' dishes and I was unhappy with their choices as well. In addition, service was extremely slow. read more

Food is usually good here but I got American Chop Suey and made me sick. Their breakfast is good.

We were there on Friday and our waitress Maureen was great. She was very attentive and kept coming over to see if we needed anything. A

Love Reds for all occasions! The food and staff are incredible. There new menu and Customer Appreciation is great, with $1 oysters (fresh, huge, clean, & not salty) and shrimp cocktail. Also $5 margaritas. Seafood dishes are large portions at a good price, great lobster options & yummy scallops. The classics dishes are great too, esp meatloaf (skip brown gravy!) Love the whipped homemade mashed potatoes. The deserts are amazing, enjoyed the carrot cake recently. I highly recommend any of the specials, esp the seafood! The staff are always friendly & knowledgeable about the food, even a great host. The atmosphere and set up allows for casual dining, breakfast/ diner area, or bar. read more

We were just looking for a breakfast and wow. This place is absolutely great. I really recommend going early for breakfast. The owner was helping and making sure all the orders were right. Great place!! read more

We made breakfast reservations a week in advance they took our credit card charged 100.00...when we arrive at 12pm there was a sign on the door that said "we are not serving breakfast"! That's what a family of 10 with a little kid came for! Not salads or seafood! They had a fixed menu and you could not order anything other than what was on the menu!! Our waitress was amazing...she said she would see if we could order burgers...along came a lady screaming (Annette) pointing her finger in my face...saying this is the menu nothing else! I replied it's Mother's Day please be calm and leave! Not to mention she got caught on my granddaughters hair and pulled it and never said she was sorry! We all left and two waitresses on the way out said soooo sorry but this is nothing new they pull this crap for every holiday and customers are always mad! Let's not mention the feds/IRS just raided them 4 days before Mother's Day!!! What's going on?? We will never go back! Annette should be fired! read more

I've been here multiple times, and both my husband and I really enjoy it. The decor is completely dive-y, and I'm never sure if I'm in a diner, or a restaurant, or in a bar, but thanks to the varying degrees of food choices, I don't really care! I think it is great that my husband can order a pot pie with a flaky crust while I can get a pasta dish with 3 kinds of cheeses and a meat sauce that tastes like it has been simmered for 2 days. Also, it doesn't hurt that every time I walk in the first thing I see are those giant whoopie pies. Those are better than anything else they server there, if you ask me. read more
