Editorial Review for Red Hot & Blue – by Drew Pisarra
In Short
Founded in Tennessee, this barbecue chain is the blues version of a big-city Hard Rock Cafe. Walls are lined with posters and memorabilia of musicians like Bessie Smith and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Ribs are the specialty of the house and come dry, wet or sweet. Pulled pork and fried catfish are complemented by the deep-fried onion ring loaf.

Red Hot and Blue has great food, at a really affordable price, and it is always super fast! This isn't North Carolina style BBQ, but it is a nice change of pace and still really good. Also, there are plenty of options for those that do not like BBQ or do not eat pork. The pulled chicken is the best I've had anywhere! The portions are more than enough. Your drinks come in small pitchers - so even those that drink a lot do not need refills often. The potato salad is hard to beat and the fried okra are the best! Also, on Wed. and Sun. the bartender is a lot of fun and not bad to look at! Red Hot and Blue is great for a crowd or just a few people, and if you are on your own, you can sit at the nonsmoking bar - which is great to me - or order take out! It's an overall great value!
Pros: Quick and tasty!
Cons: none

We have been dining at Red Hot & Blue since moving to the area 10 years ago and have NEVER been disappointed in the food, service or cleanliness. The pulled chicken and beef brisket is always tender and tasty and the smoked sausage is fantastic. Try the onion ring loaf for a starter or the dinner salad. I especially like the small pitchers they use to serve soft drinks and Tea. If you don't care for beans or slaw there is a large selection of sides to chose from (try the steamed veggies). The establishment is very well managed which shows in the cleanliness, training of the staff and consistency of the food. The added touch of fresh flowers in the ladies room is very nice and is testament to the operation. If you're looking for a great place to eat, you have found it, you will be very happy you tried Red Hot & Blue.
Pros: Food, service and value
Cons: None
