"This is our favorite place eat in BR. The freshness of the food is out of this world. The service is always on point. The atmosphere is great and we have never had anything that we did not like. Moe was our server and was so prompt and fun! Wish we had something like this closer in MS, until then we will be back!"

It’s a store, restaurant, grocery store , bar… under the bridge ,, gravel road nowhere to park .. live band, solo guitarist , I don’t know when I got here or when to leave . I wanna . Ok back to the place under the bridge . The waiter was cool super busy . I was late as usual . Arrived at the same l time as the birthday girl. the bldg 5 flavor flight was the 💣. The steak was perfect potatoes … everything was great I didn’t even know I was hungry . So worth it!!!!!
Happy birthday Ciara & Ana

"Wonderful atmosphere and service. For small bites, we ordered the Crostini Grazing Board and the Stracciatella Board. These were small plates for sure. They were very tasty but small amounts for the price.
We order the steak & potatoes board for 2 which was delicious! Plenty of food for more than 2 people.
We also ordered the Shrimp Panang. This was my first time trying a Thai inspired dish and while it wasn’t terrible, Curry isn’t one of my favorite spices.
All in all, we loved the vibe of this beautiful restaurant and will visit again!"

Their Harvest Board (which has 10 veggies plus spreads, grilled bread, and optional grilled proteins) rejects the notion that you can’t find healthy food in the Red Stick.
