    The food is always great! I actually like this place BUT on my last visit when the check came, I specifically asked the waiter is gratuity included she said NO! Come to find out, it was in cluded in the bill and we end up tipping her $18 on top of the $16 included gratuity. I didnt think that was cool at all! I would come back but the waiters should provide paper checks up front, not because we requested one several times b/c she was trying to get over on us.

    Everything tasted great !! But my frozen drinks were sitting on the bar for 15 mins before anyone noticed and still brought them watered down drinks to the table instead of just making them over to be more presentable. But the problem was resolved with no fuss so other than that it was a great vibe and great food.

    Have visited many time, customer service has not always been the best. This particular day it was great! Arrived at opening time (11a). Seated fast, food served fast and hot! It was delicious. Prices were a little above average for brunch and gratuity is automatically added to bill during the week and for parties but gratuity is even more in the weekend.

    Overall the experience was okay. We had a waitress that just started so we kinda felt she should of been shadowing someone or someone helping her on the side because a lot of stuff she had to go ask about. But other than that, the food was great! Dj was late lol but the music they played in between time kept us a float. We would go back

    They have a 90 Minute Table limit but the food takes literally almost 90 minutes to come out. So The food finally comes out and of course it’s cold then the waitress wants to push us out the door stating they have a 90 minute dine in limit. We ask to speak to the host about our issues, I don’t recall his name but he was short and pudgy… he didn’t care how bad our visit was going he just wanted us out the door, didn’t even offer an apology. So yeah Service Sucked. Food was served cold. Floors were dirty. Host didn’t care.

    Outstanding establishment. The owners and their staff were superb. It was an amazing experience. The food choices were all very tempting but I settled for the wings and awesome tasty choice. The drinks were also in good taste. There was a live band performance was very good. I will frequent this establishment with friends .

    Overbooked and no table was available for my reservation. Didn’t call ahead to inform me, once I arrived they said even tho I had a reservation they couldn’t accommodate me and basically I was out of luck. My birthday was ruined because I had no other plans and I had other guest with me as well. I would not recommend

    I waited 20 minutes after being seated for a server to even acknowledge us. The person who sat us came to the table and said he was trying to find a server. Smh….Finally we got a server that didn’t really have a pleasant look. Now if I’m patronizing an establishment at least be friendly smile show me that I’m welcomed. When you force gratuity on customers severs know they are already getting paid and therefore they can treat you poorly. I guarantee you if this wasn’t forced they would be much nicer. Oh and let’s not forget she can back for the menu because she said the other table needed it. No nachos no salmon bite food was not hot drinks horrible. Needless to say I will never go back. The music and DJ was awesome !!! I give this place less than 2 years and they will be closed if they don’t get the staff together.

    Enjoyed the good food and good prices. Our waitress Rickie was more than just a good waitress but good energy. The young man who seated us had a dry smug attitude like his daddy owns it. We had just ordered another champagne tower and he comes over and tells us our 90 minutes were up. Mind you there were plenty of empty tables and we were spending money. Our waitress handled it but I will never go back. Also, why is there a 90 minute time limit when you’re spending money and enjoying friends or a date. Please do better this place can be great.

    You definitely need a reservation or you will be waiting because the place is usually packed on the weekend. They offer fun themed brunches with a DJ. The food can take a long time. Don’t come hungry because the kitchen always seems to be backed up. Overall I enjoy myself at this restaurant.

    This was my first time at RedStar. I went on a Saturday night while the live band was there. The food was good. I loved the Boom Boom Shrimp. The service could have been better as it took a long time for me to be seated and for the waiter to take my order. I do plan on going back but I will try to go earlier in the day when it is not so loud.

    The energy was great! The food was pretty good. The seasoning is inconsistent - depends on who is cooking. The music was good and the service wasn’t as good as I’d like it to be. We will ask specifically for who we want next time.

    Although we had a reservation, we still ended up waiting for a table while patrons who did not have a reservation we seated before our party of 2. The wait staff exhibited very to no professionalism and when asked for the Manager, would not go to get him or her. The food was mediocre and the music was way too loud. This restaurant proved to be a real disappointment, and not recommended for mature crowds.

    Took my wife to RedStar on a Saturday night. We usually go downtown for date night, but I couldn’t pass up the live band. We had a great night! The band was great, we enjoyed our food (steak/shrimp, crab cakes/grits). 2 downsides- $10 cover before seating (hope it goes to the band) and a “seating fee” which I thought was gratuity but the server said she did not receive any of that fee 🤨. Definitely will go again. Great job to the RedStar staff and ownership

    We had Jaylen as our server. Very polite but over worked. Food was really good as well as the drinks. There was a live band that was nice. The only thing that I didn’t like was that someone’s food was added to my bill but once I caught it Jaylen changed it right away . I would say that the server should definitely look at the bill before passing it to customer.
