Red Lion Smokehouse offers a pleasant dining experience, with friendly staff and a clean, spacious restaurant. The food is excellent, with burgers being a highlight. The deep fried olives, fries, and aoli are also highly recommended. The restaurant provides a unique atmosphere that combines an authentic British/Irish pub vibe with traditional Irish music, creating a lively and welcoming environment. The staff are attentive and helpful, especially when it comes to allergy concerns, and they even offer blankets on the patio for chilly days. While some dishes like the mains (such as tacos and burger) may not always impress, the food overall is very good, with perfectly smoked items like the half rack of ribs. The restaurant's policy of charging an 18% tipping fee for groups of 8 or more is noted, but the staff's friendly service makes it a great spot for hosting events despite some minor drawbacks.
