Red's Steakhouse - Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

We’ve visited Red’s twice now and everything is always subpar. This most recent visit will probably be our last. At 6:30 I tried to make a quick reservation but the first avail wasn’t for an hour. We took a chance for bar seats and thankfully the bar was empty… actually the whole restaurant was mostly empty on a Friday night at 6:30? We were greeted with a “do you have a reservation” and then brought different drinks from what we ordered. Shared a salad and steak and both had the potential to be good (you could tell it was a decent quality ribeye) but the salad was drowned in dressing and everything was extremely under seasoned. Both us and another table within eye sight were shaking tons of salt and pepper onto our food. IF the food was great and the service excellent you could forgive the dated atmosphere. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case and everything just felt very sad, dirty, and depressing. What should have been a relaxing date night just wasn’t, and we couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Id love to support a small business, but at the end of the day the Outback Steakhouse just a couple miles down the road has better food and atmosphere at half the price.

The steak was tasteless and laced with fat. They served us carrot cake that was clearly frozen and briefly microwaved. The atmosphere is more akin to a strip shopping center sandwich shop and not of a high end steakhouse. We will not return.

Was given a gift certificate to this restaurant and was told it was a great restaurant. Went there last night on a date with my wife and first impressions were not good….

The atmosphere is dated, dark and dirty. Bugs dead in the bathroom, chairs were from the 70’s and not comfortable. When we walked in there was no one to greet us, so we just sat at the empty bar.

Was finally greeted by being asked rudely if we had a reservation. We said we did and were early but honestly didn’t need a reservation as the place was far from full at the height of dinner time on a Saturday night.

We were told to just find a table and sit ourselves after we had a drink at the bar. Another couple came in during, sat next to us, had one drink each and left overhearing them say they werent going to stay for dinner. We would have left by now if we didnt have the gift certificate.

Sat finally for dinner and it took some time to get service. The server girl was nice but under trained. The owner flirted with some woman at the bar eventually sitting down with her to eat dinner while people were in his restaurant.

When a group of women came in, the owner gets up while eating to greet them, goes to clear a table for them, then returns to eating having never washed his hands.

My wife and i ordered the 8oz and 6oz filet mignon (medium rare and medium cook). They were 6oz and 4oz filets ($52) each and rare and medium rare. The baked potatoes were cooked in a microwave and they tried pawning a cheaper wine on us at refill than we originally ordered.

All in all, horrible experience, left the majority of the food on the plate and will not return. Overpriced, undercooked and a lazy owner does not make for a successful restaurant.

Very good valentine's day experience! Everything was great from the mocktail made for my pregnant wife, to the bone-in ribeye cooked to perfection! We will definitely return!

Went for dinner on a Sunday night and the restaurant was very lively. Our server did an amazing job. He had a great personality and very timely with the wine, the meal and checking on us periodically. The steak was delicious! We will return for sure.

Food was good. It’s a small place tucked in near Winn Dixie. It was a bit warm, probably a good idea to turn down the AC before the evening rush. We enjoyed our evening there.

We went to Red's Steakhouse for Valentines Day Dinner. Was honestly turned off entering the place. We where 10 minutes early so they made us sit at the bar even thought there was multiple open tables. Both of our steaks where extremely under cooked. I'm someone that has no problem eating "red" meat, but my steak was almost raw in the center and cold. Maybe we should of sent them back, but I'm not a fan of doing that. The table across from us sent their steak back due to undercooking. When were leaving we over heard another person that was waiting for there steak to return after being undercooked. Kind of a disappointing mean and experience considering the bill was $150 with no wine, drinks or appetizers.

Overall, it was disappointing. Biggest complaint was that the food was cooked inconsistently. Our lobster tail was overcooked and dry, not soft and juicy. My wife's steak was undercooked, so we sent it back. However, when it returned, the steak was fine but everything else on her plate was overcooked (presumably they heated up everything on her plate).

Service was decent but the waiter never came to ask how the meal was.

Next time, we will go to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.
