    Ok, wow!! I've been eating here for a good long time and today I tried the Ahi Tuna Tacos. Blew me away. Delicious. I love ahi tuna but cautious where I order it. Have no worries, order it!!

    Love Red's Porch. Extremely dog friendly and I can guarantee you won't leave hungry unless you're a Sasquatch. Awesome food and they have great local draft beer, including my favorite, Adelberts.

    The Smokey Goat is a thick, juicy patty of ground beef (no goat?) covered with thick, crispy bacon, fried onions, and melted, full-flavored goat cheese (there it is!). Read more

    First time here. Had pork verde tacos with charro beans. Perfect amount of spicyness. Hubby had manimal burger and loves it. Can't wait for dessert! Service is served with a smile.

    I've got to say that the service here at Red's has consistently been great and there are so few places in Austin that I'm willing to make the same remark.

    If you order an entree, try the collard greens for a side. They are amazing. Dynamic flavor! Wash it down with their big selection of local draft beers.

    The Etoufee has a good back end kick. Its worth the upcharge, just make sure to get some rice or bread if you prefer mild over medium.

    Anything on the brunch menu is good but it's hard to beet the brisket hash or the shrimp and grits.

    Concur with others RE cheese biscuits & gravy (it's like hillbilly queso) also YUM on the chick fried chick but this place needs an elevator -- if only for the staff hauling trays up/down many steps

    On pleasant nights I love hanging out at the picnic tables across the parking lot. You can play washers or sack while enjoying the fresh air and twinkle lights.

    Ask for a side of the wing hot sauce to mix with your salsa to make the perfect custom salsa.

    Serviceable food but recently turned away hours before their kitchen is advertised to close because they "weren't busy". Always seems like the beginning of the end when places start doing that.

    First time here. I read reviews and ordered the jalapeño poppers. Not impressed, they are ok. Despite the delicious smoky smell in the patio the brisket tacos were flavorless. Good hang out place tho
