About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Since it opening in 2006, Red Pony Restaurant has impressed guests by staying true to a mission focused on cuisine and service.
Chef owned and operated, Red Pony changes its menu about six times a year with the intention of keeping ingredients the season’s freshest and the variety of dishes dynamic.
While a great deal of the menu pays homage to the Sophisticated Southern foods Chef Jason McConnell grew up on, you will also see a reflection of his travels, that drive his creativity.
It is our belief that food is something to be celebrated. We also believe that experience is a huge part of dining. Whether it be enjoying a crafted cocktail at one of our bars or enjoying dinner at the table, we want each guest to be seamlessly guided through their time at Red Pony Restaurant.
We love our community and we love food.

    Food and ambience were very good. We always enjoy dinner here. The location on Main Street adds to the experience as well.

    Disappointing. The appetizers were from the frozen food section at the grocery store. My martini was heavily watered down with ice. Filet was poor quality, grisly and tough. The wine was OK, but double the price I would pay anywhere else. Overall, looks like accountants or consultants have taken over running the restaurant. Very disappointing.

    Had a wonderful time dining here after a show at the Franklin Theater just across the street. The Food and drinks we had were excellent! The service was helpful and attentative. Highly recommended. We loved it and was an ideal way to top off our evening.

    Alejandro was a great server! Awesome recommendations and menu knowledge! The beef fat potatoes and asparagus were the best components of our meals! The host was not overly friendly but our interaction was brief. We sat upstairs and it was nice and cozy. The music seemed to be played from a radio or pandora station so there were random ads playing which was a bit odd. Overall, Alejandro really made up for the minor misses and we can’t wait to come back!

    As always, Red Pony's selection and preparation is outstanding. The ambience is ideal for intimate dinners or small groups. I recommend it heartily!

    I normally have a great review for the Red Pony...however, the new menu offers no chicken option, the cosmo was half full for a full price and the spinach salad had 12 leaves of spinach, literally. Very disappointing.
