This is the best barbecue I’ve had, hands down. I was in Iowa Falls from out of town and a big group of us came to eat. I had the pretzel bites and the brisket Mac and cheese and all I can say is WOW! Our waitress was phenomenal and so nice, the pretzel bites were salty and the cheese was just a little spicy which was the perfect combo. The Mac and cheese portion was BIG and as I’m eating my leftovers I wish I would have ordered and additional plate to take home! Will definitely be back next time I’m in Iowa Falls!

My siblings and I met up in Iowa Falls - great middle spot between Cedar Falls, Webster City and Grimes. What a fantastic place! The food was great and the service that Caitlin gave us was awesome. We had steak, pasta, ribs, BBQ meat - all of it was so good. Red’s is definitely a return spot for us - and next time we’ll go upstairs to the cool Boardroom Bar before dinner.

We have had pasta night a couple times. It's always a huge portion and delicious. We ate in for the 1st time tonight. I had the ribs and brisket. No restaurant makes ribs as good as my wife's. These were right up there. Perfect sweetness and caramelization. Brisket is hit and miss for me. This was the best I've had. Reasonable pricing and locally owned. It felt good to reward people for their passion in their craft.

We had a good experience overall, though it’s not a place we would likely return to. The service was outstanding, and my mule cocktail was fantastic! For appetizers, we tried the artichoke dip and shrimp cocktail. The dip was decent, though it came with only a small portion of chips—pita chips would have been a better fit. The shrimp cocktail was a bit of a disappointment, as the garnish felt excessive for the small portion of shrimp.
For dinner, I ordered the ribeye medium rare, but it was closer to rare and lacked both flavor and a proper sear. The mac and cheese, which came highly recommended, unfortunately tasted like a basic version. On the bright side, my husband really enjoyed his pulled pork and corn, though the baked beans didn’t quite hit the mark for him.
As for the ambiance, it felt a bit crowded with the tables being close together, so it may not be the best choice for a cozy date night. Overall, a mixed experience, but we really appreciated the wonderful service!

Food and service were great. We cleaned our plates. Wouldn't change a thing. The atmosphere was decent, it would have been better if the staff/owner weren't so loud and they watched their cursing around customers. Especially the f bombs. Otherwise I would reccomend.
Parking: We were able to park on the street right in front of the place.
Great food. Super friendly owner. Loved the chill atmosphere with plenty of local photos on the walls. We really enjoyed the brisket, pulled pork, and margherita flatbread. The flatbread had a surprising but good kick to it. So glad we stopped.

Ate the pasta night. For 14.99 you got a huge salad, a massive plate of pasta and ingredients you choose, and a bread stick. It was so good. Will return again

My Husband and I wanted a quiet and relaxing atmosphere after a long day at work. So we requested to go to the Boardroom Lounge upstairs and have a drink. The drinks we ordered were delicious and refreshing. We will come again for another relaxing day.
