About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Great for creative cocktails

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.

I really enjoyed Red Pony. All of the food was excellent. The service was prompt, and the value was well-worth the money.

I love their seasonal menu changes- this time I had the watermelon salad which was divine. The barbacoa wagyu was also fantastic. My husband had the red snapper and said it was great. Overall one of the better meals we've had recently and I'm so glad Franklin has this as a restaurant option! I do wish they had a larger "by the glass" wine selection at different price points.

To call the Shrimp & Grits by that name does not do the dish justice. It was the very best I've ever had and astounded me at every bite. White wine reduction with butter, lemon juice, Worcestershire, garlic, and bacon ladled over perfectly cooked shrimp and a dollop of grits to add the creamy texture one would expect. Chef's kiss!

My daughter gave me a gift certificate for may birthday to the Red Pony. I saved it and made reservations for my 41st wedding anniversary. My wife and I arrived a little early and discovered a parking spot right in front of the restaurant! Wow. Even though we were early, they went ahead and seated us at our table. Our waitress Annie was spectacular. I recommend asking for her when you go. Food was interesting, different and very tasty. Selection of wines was great. We were given a sample of their gnocchi. Very good. Ended the evening with a complimentary stuffed chocolate mousse to honor our anniversary, which again...very good! Thanks everyone for a splendid evening.
