Cool Pub with Bah Pizza Red Rose is a legendary spot in Springfield for a reason. 50+ years. This place looks like an old school Italian place so I had my expectations up high and it did not disappoint. The bread was fantastic and the salad and salad dressing was delicious. I also had the chicken parm sandwich and it was a huge portion and very tasty. The key to food is consistency. All these years its been done least 98 percent. That very good. No one gets it 100 percent. But Red Rose is the best of the best hands down. Tip: You have to understand the pizza sizes. Small is a medium, Medium is an extra large, a large is two medium pizzas together, and the extra large can feed 6-8 people. Remember this when you order. We ordered a large and took 75% of the pizza home. It was humongous. The Rose is one of if not the best spot in Springfield, the bar area is great. Love the RR! Thanks read more

Nice friendly people, down home atmosphere, good prices and portions. Will go back when I'm in the area!

Excellent!! We were recommended to try the Red Rose and glad we did. The bar-style pizza is phenomenal. The atmosphere has a sports thyme with plenty of TVs--worth a try for eat-in or take-out. read more

Great place with friendly employees and patrons. The bar pie was top notch. Homemade dough and a great amount of care put this on the top of the list. I went well done and laced with mushroom and it was excellent. read more

Wow, this place is a little gem in Weymouth. Its a little hard to find, as it is off of the main roads. NB: Cash only!! So my husband likes to smoke brisket, ribs, etc on the weekends, and we love making pulled pork in the crockpot. However, we don't usually do all three at once, so when we went to check out Red Rose, we were super-excited to see a combo plate with all three, plus fries and coleslaw for under $20. It was enough for us both. The food was amazing. The pulled pork was really the stand-out for me, but I love it so I might be biased. My husband thought the brisket was pretty good, and brisket is sometimes a difficult meat to smoke. I like a little bit more of a crunchy bark on the outside, but I thought it was good. My husband thought the ribs were great, but I didn't try any because I wanted to avoid the mess. If you go in or check the website there is some more background on the chefs, I guess they do BBQ contests and are pretty successful. The bar itself was teeny tiny. The poor bartender was our waitress also, I hope she has some help on the weekends. She was great, though. There are some locals hanging around, but don't be intimidated. read more

It's okay, if your looking for a dive bar. Other than that much better places to go. The bartending can be lacking at times. Only takes cash with is a downer for me at times. read more

Went into the red rose cafe with my wife over the weekend on Sunday 7/26/15 to get breakfast. 10am and 4 older guys drinking at the bar telling me to go to ihop if I want breakfast. Made me feel warm and welcome! After that the amount of F bombs used at the bar around my wife and the female bartender, oh and not to mention one of the patrons two small kids. I stated to get a little pissed and literally lost my appetite. I couldn't wait to just get the hell out of there. The breakfast sucked BTW. I felt like I was in a movie filmed in Boston. Don't get me wrong I work in the trades and have a huge trucker mouth myself but you need to learn when to shut it off. Have some class! I won't be back. I'll stick to the more family friendly places like nikos, Newcomb farms or even ihop like they suggested. read more

Their was a big buzz among hard core BBQ fans.when word got out that top notch competition Barbecue would be coming to The Red.Rose Cafe. I was excited to check it out as soon as I had some other reason to be in the area. My excitement dimmed a bit as I saw a few puff reviews appear on Yelp - before the announced start of BBQ there (three reviews of the place by two people - under two listings - and one other review between them!!). I'd give the place 4.5 stars if I could, but rounded it down instead of up - in light of the "ringer" reviews (edit: I see the "ringers" were removed). My wife and I arrived at the Red Rose at 2 in the afternoon on a Sunday - not the perfect time to expect the barbecue to be at its best. The place has very strong Irish bar vibe with a decent selection of beers (5 or 6) on tap. Everyone was up at the bar, and not much eating was going on but the waitress was happy to seat us and bring us a menu. I ordered a combo of ribs and brisket and my wife ordered a pulled chicken sandwich. Summary Review: Service: Pleasant, nothing exceptional. The waitress was pleasant, reasonably attentive and competent. A man from the kitchen brought out the food and returned later to check in on our opinions. The place: Pleasant, somewhat homey Irish bar with lots of televisions - two of them big screen. Ribs: Nicely smoked ribs with a decent amount of smoke and some rubbed in flavor and a slight glaze of sauce applied. Very nice. Brisket: Smokey, flavorful, chewy (but not too chewy) with the same glaze of sauce. Next time I might ask for the sauce on the side for both meats and see how things are without the sauce. I think the sauce added more to the ribs. Pulled Chicken: I asked my wife about her sandwich with some trepidation. Last time we traveled south of Boston, we hit Chilihead BBQ - while I liked the ribs, their pulled chicken was awful. She didn't even get through 1/2 a sandwich . This time, she raved - she offered my one tiny bite - which was very tender and full of flavor. Fries - The fries were great - nicely done. They might have been a little crisper and tastier if they hadn't sat under the ribs. Coleslaw: Fine flavorful and crisp. Corn Bread - suitably moist and flavorful. I will definitely be back, probably on a trip to Ikea or maybe somewhere on the South Shore. 10/25/10 Update: I never made it back and the BBQ cooks are moving out to Canton Mass. I believe they will open a restaurant there, but are doing catering for now. read more

I have visited this café several times (15-20) and find this to be a perfect place to stop and have a couple of Guinness. You can chat with the regulars or just mind your own business depending on your mood. A lot of authentic flavor from Ireland mixed with a few flat screens and an ATM. read more

The Red Rose Cafe - Guinness, very tasty! - Cafes Near Me - Weymouth, Massachusetts

I went there this past Saturday. I was a little skeptical when I walked in as the place doesn't even look like they serve food. We got the combo platter with ribs, pulled pork and brisket. The platter also came with cornbread, french fries and cole slaw for like $13-$14 and was more than enough for two people. Everything was excellent, I told the bartender (Mike, who was great) that it might have been the best BBQ I have ever had. The cornbread was so good we put in another order which they gave us on the house!!! I know it is probably only a couple of bucks but little things like that make me want to give a place more business. We liked it so much we went back for lunch the next day (I don't think I have ever done this before). I got the Red Rose burger for lunch which was also excellent. My only regret was I didn't yet try the chili We will be back soon. read more

great scene and great pizza from Woody in the kitchen. good live music as well occasionally.

Best bar in Weymouth, best bartenders in Weymouth. Particularly Ellen, who you never have to ask for anything, she's already one step ahead of you at all times. And she has no idea that I'm writing this review. She didn't ask me to say this because she's too busy being a great bartender to all patrons. read more

The Red Rose has been around for a while but we never stopped by untill tonight. This place is unpretentious and just what you want in a good neighborhood pub. It looks really authentic as one would expect of a Boston area Irish pub without being a fake version of one. The Pizza, salad, drafts, fries and Mozzerela Sticks were all served hot and cold as you would want and they were all very good. The prices are low and the service was good. There are about eight screens all around the small pub so everyone has a good view of the game if one is on. The place has a locals' feel to it but where anyone would be welcome. We'll go back for sure. read more

Good neighborhood place. Great deal on twin lobsters... $12.99. However no sides were served with them. :(

Great little Irish Bar for apps, pizza and on special occaisions they have full Irish meals (or maybe all the time - not really sure as we've only had meals on St, Paddy's Day). They serve a good breakfast on Sunday, too - full Irish if you want it. They often have live entertainment as well. The crowd is local, for sure. read more

Best food Around!!! Great Atmosphere very friendly staff!! Very Reasonable prices. Best Steak Tips I ever had!!! They also have Great Burgers. There was someone doing the Hulk Burger CHALLENGE Too!!! an enourmous burger and fries if you finish it in 22 mintues it's free and you go on the Wall of Fame!!! Great Food Great Atmosphere Great Prices Check it out!!! read more

Great atmosphere...friendly staffs..great food n spirits! Get their buffalo wings or boneless!

Our friend''s band was going to play at the Red Rose so we decided to venture out and try this Irish bar. We sat at the bar and ordered some buffalo chicken tenders and the shepherds pie and had our go-to Guiness. The bartender was incredibly friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. It looked like there were some regulars but they didn't make us feel out of place at all. The owner is also very nice and the band was great! Fabulous, non-pretentious, laid-back place go to to for a drink after work or on a Saturday night read more

This place is awesome. The Irish bar + bbq combination is dynamite. I had 1/2 rack of ribs and my wife had the pulled pork. Both excellent. Lunch + a few beers a piece came to around $50. Very friendly Irish pub atmosphere. Get here soon as the word is bbq kitchen staff is heading out at the end of September to focus on catering and competitions. read more

Can't say enough about how this place. Friendly people, great atmosphere. The chef was amazing and Erica who was behind the bar was excellent! read more

This is a great place! Cash only! Great bartenders, ice cold beer! Best dive bar in town.

I had heard there was buzz about this place and that kitchen was turning out some fantastic BBQ. That meant I had to try it. Now I don't know what this place was like before the new sheriff came to town, so I have nothing to compare it to. What I can compare it to is that I've had a lot of BBQ in my time, and this was some of the best!! We started the meal off by trying a variety of wings, BBQ, garlic, and teryiaki. I'm not much of a teryiaki fella to begin with, but if I was these would have been great. The garlic wings were fantastic. Perfectly cooked, without an overpowering garlic flavor. The BBQ wings are the thing to get here! They were fantastic. Again perfectly cooked and slathered in a deliciously sweet BBQ Sauce. They also had on their app. menu a Chili Frito pie- which sounded fantastic, but we had to save a little room! For the main course we got a little of everything. It's the only way to do BBQ, ya gotta try it all. The brisket sandwich was cooked to perfection and again topped with that sweet BBQ sauce. You can tell this was made over time and w/ some love. Not like the slop bbq you get at a chili's. The pulled pork and pulled chicken were on par w/ everything else in that they were perfectly cooked. But lets get to the real heavy hitter of the meal. The ribs. They were just about some of the best ribs I've ever tasted. If this is what they turn out consistently, than other BBQ joints should just shut down. Cause ya ain't beating this. They pulled off the bone nicely (please note i said pulled off the bone, not fall off the bone- BIG DIFFERENCE), they were perfectly seasoned with a nice kick at the end and perfectly sauced. The meals are served with freshly made cornbread and coleslaw. And it's good cole slaw. Not that rubbish you get in a diner. This was fresh ingredients and done right. For the establishment itself, don't be intimidated by it. It's a good bar/pub. With fine people and a fine jukebox. I highly recommend you make your way here, have a beer, and have some good, nay FANTASTIC BBQ. read more

Food quality and price were excellent. Great atmosphere with friendly service. The burgers are generously sized with some very unique choices. A great place to spend time with friends. read more

I am letting you know that I appreciate the fine efforts of the owner of The Red Rose for being such a great supporter of our troops. This Saturday July 16th between 3-7PM there will be a fundraiser for a local non-profit fully volunteer group which makes up care packages for soldiers serving in Iraq & Afghanistan. I have been touched by this group sending a package to my son when he recently served in Iraq. If you head over it would be greatly appreciated. Come by The Red Rose Cafe all while helping out a great cause! There will be many raffles held and the walls last year were totally covered with donater stamps. Very impressive! *This is a cash only venue, but has since put in an ATM machine. read more

I just had a burger from this place. Pros and Cons? PROS Farmhouse burger, (has an egg on it) They deliver and do take out. burger craving defeated CONS Bad fries (over cooked, soggy, skin on) Burned the bun asked for Med Rare, got Med Well definitely a hit or miss place, had their stuff a few times and it was a lot better, today though, it kinda sucked. read more

I was very surprised at how nice the Red Rose Cafe was once I got inside. I think they have new ownership because it looks like a lot of time and effort was spent redecorating and fixing it up. I am a beer drinker and was very happy with the selections offered both on tap and in bottle. However the Smidicks was a bit flat so I asked for something else and the bartender changed it out with a smile which is all I could ask for. I've had both the baby back ribs there and also the pulled pork and I think they were both dynamite ! I wish they gave you a bigger hunk of corn bread and a larger portion of cole slaw however. The fresh friens are to DIE FOR , if you eat nothing else get yourself a serving of these kick ass spuds. I was also there recently on a Sunday afternoon and they had a duo of acoustic guitarists who were super talented. The singers name was Tim and he played a few of our requests too. I hope to come back and see the band again some time soon. When I do return I will try out the brisket plate next. For a local pub in a small town you cant go wrong at the Red Rose Cafe ! CC read more

went to try the wings,had many choices. I ordered the coop with spanky sauce ,it was incredable! the frie's were fresh not frozen. My son had the steaktips with a bourbon marinade .He liked them very much. I will say, the service was very good .The atmosphere was Irish pub decor,with all the amneties. We will come back to try the ribs and other menu items they have 16 kinds of wings.. read more

Stopped in for dinner Saturday night and sat at the bar. There are a lot of 'regulars' but we did not feel uncomfortable at all- everyone is very friendly. The manager even bought the bar a round of drinks. :) The bartender was very attentive and friendly- great service. We had the prime rib special and pizza- both were very good. Prices are very reasonable, good food and good service- we will be back! read more

Excellent! My husband and I had lunch at The Red Rose Café in Jackson Sq, East Weymouth. The Fish & Chips I had were cooked to perfection. Really enjoyed the crunchy batter on the fish which was not the least bit greasy, nor were the chips. The Mac & Cheese my husband ate was the best he has ever had! Best comfort food cooked fresh and served piping hot. Loved the décor, waitress was very nice and efficient, the cook actually came to our table to be sure we were happy with our meals. We will be regulars! read more

Finally, great BBQ in the South Shore! By far the best Pulled Pork sandwich I have ever had. As a Weymouth resident I have been generally dissatisfied with the restaurant options in the area. I recently found out the Red Rose revamped its kitchen and figured I'd give it a shot. Glad I did. The friendly waitstaff informed that new cooks had taken over the kitchen. Apparently these guys place pretty high (I believe 3rd) in national BBQ competitions. I don't doubt it. Check it out! read more

I've eaten at the Red Rose and the food is excellent, Steak Tips are the best and they have a great hot pastrami sandwich.The prices are reasonable most meals are under $13.00. I would go back.The best thing of all, is their open every day 12-9pm m-f read more

I agree with David P. Based on the other reviews and a recommendation from a friend at work, my wife and I decided to try this one out. I had the ribs and brisket combo. My wife had the pulled pork plate. The ribs were superb! The half rack was only 3, but with that taste, I could have eaten many more. Both the ribs and brisket were very meaty, and tender. The taste of the meal is one of the best BBQ I've had. The cole slaw was a little watery, but was really fresh and tasted good. The Red Rose seems like a neighborhood bar with tables on both sides and a large bar set back in the middle. It was in good condition, and clean. Not a real good setting for children. As we walked in, we were a little unsure of whether to stay or not. We were the only ones seated. But after the meal, we definitely agreed that we will return (for a full rack of the ribs). We would recommend this one to anyone who like BBQ. read more

It won't let me give 0 stars. I am a well educated individual. I current hold 2 degrees and teach children. Yet, this establishment treated me like garbage a threw me out while making me pay for my drink that I wasn't able to enjoy. I have never in my entire life been more disappointed in the clientele and service. I felt that I was highly discriminated due to my race and that I was a new patron. This happened tonight. I was not belligerent, drunk, or acting in anyway unbecoming of a young professional. I paid my tab, tipped my waitress, and proceeded to attempt to enjoy myself. As I drank my drink, and a woman approached, clearly drunk, and misinterpreted a comment that was meant to be a joke. She walked away and her husband proceeded to call me a cunt and told me I didn't know who I was messing with. The bar tender promptly told me I was to leave (of course being the only one in the bar of color) and physically took my drink out of my hand and told my friend and I to leave. I am highly dissatisfied with the service and respect I was denied at this facility. I would NOT recommend this bar to anyone. Pease avoid this bar if possible and know that it is a very backwards establishment, and hopefully they can change their ways. read more

We were organizing a party at home for about 30 people. I'd planned on using a different place to cater some bbq, but they were all booked for a big summer party weekend. This turned out to be great, becuase we found Red Rose online, went and tested it out in person, then booked Red Rose to cater. I'm so glad we did- the food was great, our friends raved, the caterers were very accomodating with changes and on the phone, it was closer to our house (we had to pick it up since it was such a busy weekend), and even a little bit less expensive! We got the brisket and pulled chicken, along with cornbread, coleslaw, and bbq beans. If I had to it do over I might pick something other than the beans, but everything else was fabulous and I would definitely recommend it and go back. Note- they do not accept credit cards (although there is an ATM in the restaurant). FYI- the restaurant/bar itself is very small, but really cute, clean, good jukebox, and good number of tvs. The 2 servers/bartenders were very friendly. read more
