My friend and I traveled to Collinsville for a day trip from Jackson and happened upon Red Hot Diner. We were thoroughly impressed with the food and the amazing hospitality. The food offered was truly delicious, and the atmosphere was very fun. We also loved the decor! Highly recommend visiting. The staff were so extremely nice. Truly a memorable experience for us both. đŻ

Iâve been to this spot a few times, and I must say Iâve never been so disappointed with the food like I was today. The Philly cheesesteak bread was similar to a hot dog bun. An order of fries had cheese on top that wasnât supposed to be there. They were out of condiments, so a half of bottle of ketchup was thrown in a bag. I received one âhappy birthdayâ napkin Iâm guessing to wipe my hands with. The wait time was 45-50 minutes. I wasnât expecting any of this! Iâm truly disappointed!

My family ate at Red Hot Diner tonight for our sonâs birthday. He chose Red Hot because he loves their burgers. All of our food was delicious and the service was exceptional! I havenât eaten anything there that I didnât like. Make sure you save room for some strawberry cake.

Burger was dry and over seasoned. Also tried the cake. Very expensive for what tasted like boxed cake mix. Was dry and little flavor.

The wait was a long time for the only ones to be waiting for food. Took over 35 minutes for a cheeseburger, pickles and 3 kids meals. Got home to realize I was missing tenders for a kids meal. The pickles were soggy and very greasy. Burger was extremely dry and over seasoned. (And I like my seasoning, but this was too much) plus my tomato was gritty and old tasting. We will not be back.

This will probably get deletedâtruth usually does with these folks and The comment section gets wiped down more often than the tablesâbecause nothing threatens fake perfection like an honest review.
However, If you enjoy over-fried food dripping in oil the color of a lawnmowers then youâll feel right at home.
But the real problem isnât in the kitchen. Itâs at the top. A pair of image-obsessed adults who run their business like a middle school cliqueâcontrolling, petty, and dangerous to anyone who doesnât play along. Speak up, and youâre not just ignoredâyouâre targeted.
And if even a fraction of the rumors about this place, including a recent drive-by in Collinsville, are true, then this place isnât just failingâitâs rotting from the inside out.
So come for the grease. Stay for the dysfunction.
Or better yetâdonât bother.
If you're into soggy, over-fried food drenched in oil that looks like it came straight out of a lawnmower-and staff who treat drink refills like a chore-this place is your dream come true. But the real nastiness isn't on the plate. It's in the leadership, the owners. Grown adults acting like playground bullies, obsessed with image and control. Disagree with their fake little presentation of perfection, and suddenly you're a target for harassment, manipulation, and unhinged behavior! And according to the community gossip, their dysfunction might stretch far beyond passive-aggressive Facebook posts. If those rumors about a recent drive-by in Collinsville hold even a shred of truth, you're not dining in a restaurant-you're stepping into a true crime documentary with bad fries. Come for the grease. Stay for the chaos. Or better yet-DONT.

Always out of food. Iâve been there 2 different times and both times they were out of chicken tenders! This is one of the main items on the menu! Then when I ordered mini corn dogs in place of the chicken tenders, they served them to me still frozen!!!!!
Lola Tanner
This is our GO TO SPOT! The people are super friendly. They treat everyone like family. The food is amazing! The chicken on a stick is the best as well as the fries. The season they put on the fries is awesome if you ask they will send you home with a small container of it! THEY HAVE HOMEMADE RANCH DRESSING!!!THE BEST IN THE COUNTY!!

I been to this place once & will never go back again ! They barely had any of the food they offered on the menu and from what I hear itâs always like this. The Philly steak was terrible it was paper thin, crunchy & WAY overcooked!! For how long I waited on my food you would have thought my fries would have been fresh & hot but no just some soggy fries. The service is terrible, I had to ask my waitress multiple times for a refill that I never got! If youâre hungry donât go there!
