Be prepared to get into a waiting list.The vibe was good but not super cool. It’s not too loud so you can enjoy talking beside the food.I tried the turkey breast sandwich and it was casual and fresh but not something really surprising. The portion size was medium if you are hungry don’t go for it. However, the red’s cocktail is also exciting to try out. 51$ for a sandwich, French fries, and 2 glass of cocktails.The staff care and pay attention to you if you want to call them.A good normal place that you can spend your casual time easily. But a bit expensive for a casual and a twice a week to go place.

I love this place so much! The food was amazingggg. I got the New york steak of mind and my girlfriend got the aurora burger, they were both TO DIE FOR. They were both very juicy and tender, cooked to perfection. The chimichurri on the steak was so delicious and even creamy. The tots were so crispy but soft in the middle, the best tots ive ever had. Everyone was so friendly as well! It was also very affordable for the quality of food and service! I HIGHLY recommend coming here!

Food, service, and beverages always good. Great, dependable option in Ithaca. Friendly, not fussy, but not too basic.

Awesome place! Best mixed drinks I’ve ever had and the food was absolutely delicious. Our waiter was knowledgable and friendly. 100% recommend this place! My Wife and I can’t wait to go back!
Great place to grab a sandwich or burger! One time I ordered flatbread, which was a bit of a miss. Wait times can get very long so get here early!

Wow! We were a group of 11 and in from out of town. We had 7 kids with us, each with a different rule book for food. The staff was super accommodating and the food was OUTSTANDING. Even the pickiest eaters were impressed!
Had to drive to Ithaca for business. Checked Yelp for a place to have some lunch and decided on Red's Place and glad we did. Service was awesome and the food was hot and delicious. 4 stars because I felt the portions were small for the price. Would definitely try again.

Delightful service. Excellent beer on tap. My lamb burger was quality - tender meat and goat cheese and typical fixin's. I wouldn't say it was revolutionary but good food and together with the beer and the warm ambience, not a bad place to find oneself in Ithaca.

My boyfriend and I have eaten here 3-4 times. We love the food and the service is wonderful. Compared to the places next door on this street, I will choose Red's Place every time. Our server/bartender last night was very attentive and provided impeccable service. Every time we come the staff is super friendly.

Food was excellent! We were in for lunch on a Tuesday just after they opened. Nice and quiet! I had mahi on top of green salad, mixed greens. My boyfriend had pastrami and it was delicious! Great atmosphere and service!

I had a terrible experience here. I ordered two pesto flatbreads for take-out; one gluten-free, one regular. When I arrived home, I saw that neither of them were marked "gf". I called Red's and asked if they could help to differentiate the flatbreads, as they both looked very similar. I have an allergy and can't take chances. The person who answered the phone didn't know how to differentiate them. She conferred with another staff member who said the gf flatbread should have rounded crust. Neither of the crusts had rounded edges. I asked if the gf crust was thinner, and I was put on hold. I was then hung up on. I waited for several minutes and didn't get a call back. I called back repeatedly and was sent to voicemail. Finally, after calling back numerous times, I reached another employee who directed me to the manager. I explained that I had been hung up on and wasn't helped to differentiate the crusts. The manager was incredibly rude and defensive. He justified my being hung up on by explaining that the business was "slammed" tonight. He then explained that the gf crust was zucchini-based and green, completely different from the regular crust. None of that information had been given to me when I initially called. He asked condescendingly if I'd ever ordered the gluten-free flatbread before. It's not my job to know how your gluten-free flatbread looks or to have ordered it before; it's pretty universal to mark takeout orders with GF. I understand that people make mistakes, businesses get busy, and not every employee may know the ins and outs of differentiating gf crust. But what is totally unacceptable is the way I was treated. Being hung up on, and then gaslit by the manager. How hard is it to apologize, assist me, and own up to a mistake? I'm a local and had been to Red's multiple times (non-takeout) in the past. Definitely do not expect good service if you try to order takeout. Be sure to be an expert on how different crusts look beforehand. I will not be returning.
Food was good, service was great.
