Love love love! The building dates back to the 1800's, offering lots of character and charm. There seemed to be ample parking as well as a welcome outdoor cat. The wait staff was excellent, offering recommendations and never missing a beat. The food was exceptional and left us beyond satisfied. I ordered the patty melt, which was by far the best I've had. My company ordered their homemade chicken Alfredo and loved it. We were also served warm cinnamon rolls before our meal, such a cute touch. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Truly a historical restaurant inside. Service was excellent and the atmosphere quaint with decorative decor. Hubby and I went for the prime rib which is only served on Wednesday. The "dinner rolls " are more like a dessert roll because of the icing on top. Very tasty and we actually ordered two more for dessert. read more

Are you a history buff? Do you like great food, some of which they've been serving for over 100 years? Do you like great drinks? Then The Red Brick Tavern is for you. They have great food, drinks and the atmosphere is to die for. I'm sorry I didn't take pictures. My husband had the fish and chips and I had a salad. His was much better than the rabbit food I was having, but the salad was delicious. read more

We were on our way home from The Heart of Ohio and wanted to try a new restaurant. So after checking a few menus at various places we settled on The Red Brick Tavern. We had no idea that this was the second oldest operating restaurant in Ohio!! We could tell it was special as soon as we saw the building. It looks like an old home that was converted into a restaurant. The dining room is split up into each of the rooms with one room being a bar area. The decor is colonial and fits the atmosphere perfectly. It's just so perfect and unique and we loved the entire experience. As for the food, it was fresh and delicious and quickly served. We ordered the bavarian pretzel, but didn't realize that as a special treat for just being a patron, they serve CINNAMON ROLLS. Yes, you read that correctly. They just give you a cinnamon roll fresh out of the oven for coming in. I felt like royalty. And it was so delicious!! We were already full once our entrees arrived but that didn't stop us from eating at least half of them before boxing the rest for later. We both tried their smashburger patty melt with fries. Once again, everything was fresh and made to order. Their fries were definitely mere potatoes just that morning, I'm sure of it. Perfectly seasoned and with a slightly crispy edge. And for the first time ever, these fries reheated so well later that night!! Usually fries from restaurants don't fare too well on that front. We will definitely stop by The Red Brick Tavern again on our next visit to Heart of Ohio. The food, atmosphere and final price were all right up our alley. read more

So we made the trip down 42 from Plain City to check out what the buzz was about and Oh Man, we're really glad we did. We got a really good feeling when a got there and had to really hunt around for a parking spot. Got an even better feeling when we walked up the back walkway past (2) well kept raised beds being used as herb gardens; so we knew right away there was a serious chef in there doing his thing. Anyway, this place oozes atmosphere, built around the turn of the 18th century with 7 presidents having visited there. The menu is diverse but not fru-fru either, I had seasoned shrimp and wild rice and a side of onion rings and my wife had a patty melt and fries. We split a house salad, everything rates 8s & 9s out of 10 I'd say. Portions are good sized but we didn't take anything home, which I always appreciate. Pricing was average to a bit below so the value's certainly there for what you're getting. Service as quick, friendly, and attentive. You have to be careful getting out and back into US40 because there are some wonky blind spots but that's a small price to pay. Give it a go, you'll like the RBT. read more

We were happy with everything we got. The cocktails were delicious. The bread basket was top tier. It has coconut cream cheese cinnamon rolls in it! For free! The space was nice. We had a large group and had the front room to ourselves. We will definitely be back. read more

This is a very nice hidden gem. Thought we would try a new place for us. We struck gold. We decided to go to the bar side instead of the restaurant side, got a nice table, quickly. Greeted immediately by our waitress. Ordered one of the best pretzels I have had in a long time, it came with beer cheese, it was delicious. Then came the complimentary hot cinnamon rolls. They were awesome. Salad was nice, and the pasta Alfredo was delicious. Also had the margarita pizza. Very nice, the toppings were fresh and the taste was unbelievable. This is a must try. All in a historical building just on the outskirts of London. Worth the trip. read more

We went on prime rib night. Had some apps which were not horrible. Had the prime rib. I will say they do not ask how you want it cooked. It does come out rare. I like that so I actually thought the prime rib was not bad. The clam chowder was bad. It had a very strong fish smell and it just was not good I guess as far as the quality of food goes it would be like a more expensive Applebees. Our waitress was super nice, really nice. But the service was really , really bad. The restaurant also nickel and dimes for everything. There are no substitutions or you will have to pay. Out checks were really messed up and we didn't get our dessert we asked for. We didn't get billed for it either so I guess it wasn't the end of the world. Would I eat here again? Maybe. They were not busy so I would hate to see how service would be if they were. But I might give them another shot at some point. Again not horrible just not what I was expecting read more

Met the parents for Pre-Christmas, dinner is served at 4 PM. We were in the main dining room. The Christmas tree was beautiful with authentic popcorn and orange strands. Makenna our waitress was over the top -Great!! The food was fantastic ( portions and flavor were spot on). Salmon is better than some of the high end restaurants and the sirloin flavor was melt in your mouth good. A definite must try and we will be going again!! read more

We tried out the restaurant for our anniversary. It's a very old unique building. Stuffed mushroom was AMAZING, rest of the Food was ok (French dip, chicken beast sandwich). They serve cinnamon rolls with every dinner. Drink prices were a little high for location ($9 for a very small sour margarita on the rocks). Service was ok - very slow with drinks and the bill. App and salad came out fast. We will likely give this place another try. read more

Well, I can start by saying that the ambiance is very cool. I love the history of this iconic stage wagon stop. Lots of presidents have dined here in the past. The service was pretty slow. We were the only ones in the main dining room area and there were three other couples in the bar area. It wasn't busy. To be fair, our food did come fast once we had ordered. Everything was just kind of average. I had the country-fried steak, which was okay (I think I should have ordered something else instead) and my son had a plain cheese pizza which was just fine. It came out piping hot and it was perfect to satiate his appetite. They also served their signature cinnamon rolls, which were warm and tasty. I tried the Old Fashioned, but to be honest, I think I make a better one at home. The food is fairly high-priced, and I'm not sure the quality is quite up to par, but it is an interesting place to stop. I wanted to ask more about the history, particularly about the alleged haunting of the woman who stitched the sampler that says "Remember Me", but our server was not very visible throughout our visit to inquire. She was very nice, but not super chatty. I've heard said sampler is on display upstairs, but it was closed off for repairs. I wouldn't make a point of returning again, but it had been on my list of historic Ohio places to visit, so I don't regret stopping in. read more

Red Brick Tavern June 2024 It's important to get the word out. The Red Brick Tavern is back again under new ownership, and it's great! The locals know already but its somewhat remote location prevent travelers from accidentally stumbling in, even though it is mere minutes from an I-70 exit. Don't let the front door scare you off. Inside, the restoration of this stagecoach era building is well underway and the dining room and bar are again comfortable and welcoming spaces. We ate there yesterday with non-local friends (Michigan and Miurfield). We all consider eating out at interesting places our primary hobbies and all of us were completely pleased. Opening the front door rings an antique bell and we were greeted in moments and seated immediately. The menu was diverse but not overwhelming. Our server was excellent and knowledgeable from beginning to end. Please note that this is not a grab and dash place. Good homemade food takes time but patience is well rewarded. While the menu has pizza, sandwiches and fingerfood we all chose full entrées and everything was excellent. And abundant. The bartender told me has worked here under every owner since 1983 and says the new owners (aged 29 and 30) are like his own sons and are really on the right track. We live sorta in West Jefferson and the drive to the Red Brick is closer than anyplace good on the west side of Columbus. We have eaten here since the 70's and this is the best it's ever been. In a time where restaurant closures around Columbus are almost daily news, we pray that this one prospers. read more

We loved this place! Great food and great service. Cocktails were very good! We will be back

Servers are great. Ambiance is great. Food is mediocre. The menu has been cut from a few months ago when you could get better food. I remember the glory days of the Red Brick Tavern, and I don't expect those days to return. But the place is too beautiful to be a place that serves only bar food. read more

Love the atmosphere of this historic building! Servers and owners very friendly and are proud of the re opening of the tavern- which they should be! I have been there twice And had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and fries(fries are fresh cut and amazing) and the second time had the bourbon glazed salmon on a salad! .... Salmon was perfectly prepared! I know they just changed their menu and have not had a chance to go back yet! read more

Excellent food and service. Waitress was attentive and the food was great. The bread basket was a nice surprise.

Sorry for a late review : This place did an amazing job on helping host my daughter's baby shower. They allowed us to do this on Sunday when they normally are closed. The food was freshly prepared. Very reasonably priced and they had no issues with any of our request. We had 40 people there. Taking up both the bar area and main seating area for the party. I would definitely use them again for this type of event as they had plenty of room and the everyone loved the food. We have also been during busy dinner or lunch hours and they do an amazing job. For a owner that has been restoring and revamping this location over the past couple years. They have done a great job. read more

My husband took me to the Red Brick Tavern for a Mother's Day dinner yesterday.

The food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be going back! read more
