Customer Reviews
Ordered delivery on super bowSunday. Food arrived in under an hour still hot. Honey mustard chicken wrap was a huge hit! Delicious and packed with flavor. The chicken tacos were very good. My one year old loved her Mac & Cheese with French fries. The pulled pork sandwich was dry & forgetful...luckily my wife didn't finish her wrap! Also the sweet potato fries were near the best we ever tried! Garlic parm fries & the regular fries all were seasoned well & hit the spot.
We visited on a very busy day and understand that volume can impact service, so we’re not holding the crowd against the restaurant. That said, focusing on what can be controlled, the service fell short. Drinks took an unusually long time to arrive, and refills took even longer. Our server, Lucas, seemed disengaged and showed little personality or attentiveness throughout the meal (at least on this visit). For a $75+ check (three drinks, one appetizer, and three entrées) the overall experience including the food felt underwhelming and didn’t match the price point or expectations.
Been here a few times and the quality of the food always seems to be good, but the size leaves a lot to be desired. For example, here’s a picture of my chicken sandwich I got for takeout, For almost $20 would expect a pretty good sized meaty piece of chicken but instead I got this very thin strip in an overall small package. Pretty disappointing. The times I’ve been inside it’s got a good atmosphere in a nice bar to watch sports. If they filled the plates, a little bit more, it would easily be a higher score .
My husband and I really enjoy the food and service at Red Heat. I have celiac and I am extremely sensitive to gluten. I have enjoyed being able to choose anything I want from an enormous menu. We like to sit at the bar and especially enjoy when Kyia is bartending. She is personable, quick, and especially attentive to allergies. The restaurant is always decorated for the holidays and there are always nice specials to choose from. I forgot to take photos but will next time!
My wife and I had an awesome experience at Red Heat Tavern in Westborough. We started with the mesquite wings with the 11 herbs and spices dry rub and a side of the black pepper ranch — the wings were huge, juicy, perfectly crispy, and packed with flavor. My wife especially loved the ranch, said it was one of the best she’s had. For mains, I got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with parmesan fries — incredible spice level and great crunch, and the fries were addicting. My wife ordered the Chipotle turkey melt as a wrap with the cauliflower on the side, and she really enjoyed both. Everything came out hot, fresh, and honestly just delicious across the board. Service was perfect as well! Great food, great flavors — we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend.
