Red's Kitchen + Tavern

Always a great place to go and always known for their breakfast. I usually go for the King Fire French toast, which is out of this world. But for this visit, I got the Steak Bomb Omelette. It came with shredded steak, onions, peppers, and mushrooms - quite tasty! You get a choice of toast. I always get the cinnamon raisin toast and comes with home fries which are so good. Their portions are always good and always walk out full! It’s a place where you’ll never be disappointed in their food quality. The interior of the restaurant has two bars surrounded with booths and chair seating. It’s a comfortable atmosphere. Keep up the good service guys you’re doing a great job!

I haven’t been to an American diner with truly tasty food in a long time. I ordered the corned beef Benedict — absolutely delicious. It came with crispy potato cubes on the side, also amazing. Prices are fair, service was lightning fast. On a Tuesday morning, almost all tables were full, so if you don’t want to wait — just grab a seat at the counter. Bonus: you get to watch the open kitchen in action. These guys move like a well-oiled machine — super impressive! Great food, great vibe, great speed. Loved it.

The waitress Karen was amazing. Sweet and very knowledgeable of the menu and area. Large portions on food. Strong drinks

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Red’s Kitchen + Tavern, and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing server, Raisa. From the moment we were seated, Raisa was attentive, friendly, and incredibly professional. She made us feel truly welcome, checked on us at just the right times, and offered great recommendations. Her positive attitude and genuine care elevated our entire dining experience. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was outstanding. It’s clear that Red’s Kitchen + Tavern values great hospitality, and Raisa is a perfect example of that. We’ll definitely be back and hope to be served by Raisa again. Highly recommend!

The service was absolutely amazing, our waitress was nice, attentive, gave us great suggestions. Unfortunately that's where to positive end, the food was mid at best, the sausage gravy was horrid, no seasoning what so ever tasted like warm wet flour. The homefries were decent nothing to write home about but good, anf the eggs well it was a fried egg pretty hard to mess that up. Also, it might sound trivial but the coffee cups are wicked small and the salt and pepper shakers just dribble you havr to really give them a shake to get anything to come out.

Absolutely amazing experience! The food is beyond delicious —not a single dish disappoints. Everything is made from scratch, and you can truly taste the chef’s talent and passion in every bite. Karen, our server, was fantastic! She took the time to explain every dish, told us about the specials (which were wonderful!), and we even had to order some to go because we couldn’t get enough. The atmosphere is so pleasant, the music volume is just right —perfect for having a conversation— and the service overall is excellent. The portions are generous, the food comes out quickly, and you can tell the entire team genuinely cares about the guests’ experience. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to!

Great breakfast spot. More modern and updated than the Salem location which kinda detracts from the vibe in my opinion. But the food is great and servers are nice. Depending on the time they can get busy and there is more parking behind the building but you gotta walk around to get inside.

First experience here. Food was excellent. Very fresh with real ingredients. No pre-made tasting food. Even on nachos was homemade cheese sauce and the lettuce was freshly cut. Definitely impressed. Daughter's ordered sirloin and noodle salad special. Decent cut of meat and potato wedges had an awesome garlic topping which was delicious. Asain noodle dish was very fresh and tasty. I ordered Hawaiian bowl. Omgooosh was sooo yummy.. the coconut rice was amazing. Loved the fresh grilled vegetables and the heat of the pineapple chunks. ( actual pineapple chunks, not from a can) was extremely enjoyable. Our server was kinda a drip but was pleasant. There was another sever who was totally awesome though, gave girls pictures to color and was just so outgoing and chatty. We ordered a peice of tuxedo cake to split... was good. I'd probably skip dessert if were to dine here again. Was overall a very good meal and experience. Very unassuming by the outside and interior but definitely the food is very Tasty. Excellent... Soo one thing I will say though as negative... is I was NOT expecting to be charged $ 4.95 for a kids glass of apple juice or $3.95 for a kids Chocolate Milk.🫣 that was a little astonishing but otherwise a very positive experience. If in area would definitely dine again

We did take out a bit ago because it's super near to us! I got the turkey dinner and I loved it! I do wish there was more gravy on the side as the potatoes did get a little dry towards the end. My husband got the steak tips and they were good but are definitely better in restaurant as they keep cooking as they sit.

One of the better breakfast spots on the north shore. Our waitress greeted us with our regular drink order. I opted for the smashed avocado toast with shrimp. It was great as they did not scrimp on the shrimp, and the egg was perfectly runny. You can specify how you want your home fries (I prefer mine well done), which a lot of other restaurants just don't get for some weird reason. I often ask for well done home fries at other breakfast spots and still get soggy ones? It does get busy here on the weekends for brunch, but there is open bar seating which is first come, first serve if you are a small group or dining solo. They also serve lunch and dinner here. Portions are good and everything I've tried is tasty. They also currently have a local dinner weekday special which I believe is 1/2 off your dinner entree depending on your hometown and what day of the week it is.

Our waitress Victoria was great. Very personable and attentive. I had the steak tips and my wife had the chicken, broccoli and pasta. She raved about her meal. My tips were tough but very tasty. The surprise vegetable of the day was squash which I love. I would have rated four stars but Victoria was the reason for five stars. Definitely coming back to try a few other menu items!

Food was pretty good. We stopped here when we had just arrived. The waitress was very friendly and talkative to us. She gave us some great ideas of places to visit. Unfortunately my daughter wasn't feeling well so we had to get our food to go and I apologized and she was extremely nice. I noticed that the cook seemed annoyed. But the food was a bit pricey, but good and portions are big

Went to Red's Kitchen and Tavern in Peabody Ma on 11/13/24 Wednesday with mom and her group Me and mom had the Baked Haddock with rice pilaf and mashed potatoes I also had a dish of clam chowder and Vanilla ice cream for dessert everything was delicious I recommend this place Located at 131 NEWBURY ST PEABODY MA

Great service and breakfast. Nice place to enjoy more than just food! All in our party enjoyed poached eggs and avocado toast, eggs and bacon, eggs and ham. All came with breakfast potatoes.

Great place! Friendly, efficient, wonderful staff! Top notch! Only had breakfast there but definitely coming back for lunch or dinner!

Ordered the Short Rib dinner last Wednesday nite and was disappointed in the very dry chunk of beef that looked and tasted like it was ever nowhere near a rib.. I did not complain as another person in our party ordered the same and seemed to be enjoying her dinner. Waitress was very friendly & attentive so evening out with friends was great. Mims S.

This is one of the worst restaurants I've ever been to. My chicken was completely dried out, my son hated his dinner. Not to mention my cocktail was completely watered down. My husband just stared at me and wondered why we came here. I only went off of other people's post that stated how this place was great. I will never go again!

Literally the cutest and best dinner in town. Deb was incredibly gracious and super supportive/knowledgeable on the menu for us out-of-row era while we're visiting for a business conference/family time. Normally our picky eater children have a difficult time at restaurants. Their food was very gracious portions and delectable! They helped us also with our celiac warrior toddler find an appropriate item for him. We will be back! Thank you Deb and team for the great visit and amazing food.

Excellent brunch! Excellent service! We will be back. Eggs, French toast, home fries and ham were on point. Busy place and I can see why.

Seated right away. Very nice and clean table. Server came right away took our orders. Food was huge and delicious. One speed bump, they have us the wrong bill, but found it and corrected. Otherwise great food on Rt 1 North

Great value serving excellent food. Me and my wife were there today 12/18. My turkey dinner is always my top choice. So much good food and a very reasonable price. The servers work very hard. We always enjoy Reds and it's no secret to the masses The parking lot is full for the quality and enjoyable value inside. Nice people patronize Reds. All know a great value. James Dennehy

We decided to give Red's a try as a 50% discount is applied on menu items, not the specials, to area residents on different days. We started with a glass of wine, pointed out on the menu to the waitress which one we wanted, she heard a different name so we corrected her, she said OK, and yet brought a different kind (more expensive). The calamari appetizer was excellent, no problem there. A Caesar salad was ordered and after 15 minutes reminded her we haven't received it. Ten minutes later our entrees were brought to the table, but no salad, which she offered to bring AFTER the entrees were in front of us. No thank you. The steak tips ordered were such a disappointment, in fact, horrible. No restaurant should charge $28 for six steak tips when they aren't "tender" per menu description. The sake noodle bowl was excessively salty so only half was eaten. To summarize, the waitress didn't pay attention to the order: she blamed the kitchen staff for no salad, she served the wrong wine - twice - even after being told it was incorrect and charged extra for the wrong wine, plus the food wasn't good. I don't think even saving 50% on the entrees is worth eating dinner at Red's. Perhaps the breakfasts are better?

Went to the Seabrook NH location and Seth our waiter was awesome! The food was very good as well! The only disappointment was when I picked up my glass of Pepsi and the entire bottom let loose and soaked my pants, shirt and seat! One of the hostesses came over and as I am telling her what happened she said "oh that's not the first time that's happened " completely shocked at that statement! | should have just walked out but didn't! I actually thought that since this was not a first time incident that I would have been compensated for the faulty glassware that continues to be used there! I also would have thought the manager would have stepped up and offered some peace offering but instead this review is the result!

I really like this place, It's comfort food, fresh fish, great salads. There's a bar and next to it a huge selection of freshly made deserts! The staff is very efficient and kind! Everyday there is a 20% discount for nearby cities. For example: Peabody gets a discount of 20% every Monday! That would pay tip! There is plenty of parking! I GO THERE FOR THE fresh fish dinner , fresh Haddock and sides. I love their mashed potatoes. And you should try their beet salad. I never get tired of going there!

We ate breakfast here 2 days in a row while visiting Salem, Mass. Food was excellent, served hot and quickly. Service was excellent. Blueberry Pancakes, Homemade Hash, Omelets, Homefries, Biscuits with Sausage Gravy. Everyone loved there food. We recommend and would go back.

First visit tonight after watching YouTube videos on places to dine around Boston and Salem. The restaurant has a nice upscale but casual feel to it from the moment we walked through the door. They have a sizeable menu that is just right to choose from. Tonight we ordered Mozzarella Sticjs as an appetizer ($8), Chicken Parmesan over penne pasta ($22), Mediterranean Chicken ($19) & Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo ($18). The Mozzarella Sticks tasted freshly made with a nice crisp crust and wonderful melts mozzarella inside. The Chicken Parmesan was a huge portion with two flattened chicken breasts. The penne pasta was good but I would have enjoyed better if it was fresh made pasta. The marinara sauce was very good. The Mediterranean Chicken had kalamata olives capers spinach, orzo and artichoke hearts and had a light and very nice flavor. The Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo was a huge serving and tasty. The only criticism is that the Alfredo sauce was too thin not allowing a good amount to stick to the chicken, broccoli or noodles. For these items and three unsweet iced teas, the bill was $82.94 which seems to be the new average fir is when we dine out and feels a bit high. Service was by Jessica and she did a great job and was very nice. We do recommend this restaurant and look forward to trying them for breakfast.

Just had breakfast. I ordered a tea and specified to the waitress that I wanted my tea piping hot. She brought me a tea that wasn't hot. I then ordered eggs Benedict that also was not served hot and had virtually no hollandaise on it. I sent it back and, finally, at the end when the waitress asked how my breakfast was I said: it really wasn't very good and I didn't care for it but she offered no apology and changed us full price, which I guess is just par for the course at Reds. I'm tired of the consistent poor quality and incompetence.

Best service I've ever had a restaurant!! Ask for Thalia she went above and beyond for me and my boyfriend, best service around :)

On any given weekend morning, Red's is slammed. It's a solid breakfast place on the North Shore and we never have a bad experience there. It's a great place if you're in that awkward in-between where some folks want breakfast and others want lunch. We had a group of 4 midday on a Saturday and waited about 15-20 minutes to be seated. Half of us got breakfast and the other half got lunch. All the food was solid. I loved the chicken broccoli and ziti because its as a creamy, heavier sauce. Others loved their food too. We also all split a pancake, which is bigger than your head. I didn't even get a pic because we ate it so fast! The only reason for my four stars instead of five is that our waitress was super nice, but clearly slammed with a lot of tables. It took us awhile to get service and there were large gaps between each stage so we were there for a bit. Definitely worth it though!

We visited Reds on Sunday 10-15-23 we had a half hour wait which it was worth it. They turn the tables pretty quick. Everyone was friendly and polite. Our server Raise Z did a great job she friendly and timely and not pushy. The food was very good and fresh. We will definitely return when we are in the area again.

Nothing bad to say. Homey while still feeling lively for weekend brunch with friends or family. Good for kids. I love their chicken & rice soup--I get it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, lol!

I've tried dinner here a few times recently and it's just gotten worse each time. Last night we ordered carbonara and pork scallopini. Pork scaloppini is always lemony and capers etc. this was pork with chunky brown gravy and tortellini? Pork was tender but the rest of the dish was awful. Tortellini was no good and the gravy looked like they were hiding something. Carbonara was runny and they should leave out sausage since it takes over the entire dish. This was work of an Alfredo dish with peas and 2 little bits of bacon plus the sausage. Not good. Breakfast here is usually great, they shouldn't breakfast lunch and brunch and not be open for dinner.

Voted best breakfastby whoi terrible breakfast? The best thing about the breakfast was the jellyawful. Home fries, Waffles try as a bone,maple syrup no flavour,even the coffee was lousyand $50 for 2 people with. No juice.

For Breakfast they can make a nice omelette just don't invite me for lunch or dinner unless your trying to be rid of me

Great food. Love this place . Very nice staff The martini is yummy. The seafood is so good

Excellent all around service, food, and portion sizes. Would recommend to anyone in the area. We will definitely come back.

Great service, and the food was uh mazing! Our server was incredibly nice and the food came really fast! My man got the king reds cinnamon French toast, great service all around, Danielle was great

I've tried this place at least a half a dozen times. I think they are successful with Drive by business. I live locally, and the food here is really not good. There is so many better restaurants around. Service is good. The ambience is perfect.

Place is great. I've had lunch and dinner many times. They always manage to seat us right away. Food is cooked to order, service is A+. I have not had breakfast yet but definitely on my list. Prices are good, even better is you manage to go on a day when your town is on special.

Classic and classy. A diner feel. Bush for brunch, better to make reservations if you can. Delicious.

Halfway through dinner had the ordeal of watching a mouse run out of Red's Peabody Kitchen, scurrying around the dinning floor and dart underneath a seating bench full of dinning customers. After the initial shock, I brought it to the attention of first waitress I saw. The waitress said, "Yes unfortunately it happens quite often. Just a few days ago had one scurry right by her feet at the bar." I grabbed our waitress and she said yes mice can happen in restaurants, but she'll get her manager. The manager came over and gave excuses, "They have people that come and spray twice a week," "There are dumpsters all over Hwy 1, which is why get the mice," and "That worked in restaurant business for a long time, mice are extremely common in restaurants." One mouse can spread Salmonella, Plague, Hantavirus, Rat-bite fever, Leptospirosis, and Tularemia. The Complete lack of Ownership and concern for their customers health and safety was alarming. I had to keep pointing out not only did I see it and eat the food from the kitchen that the mouse emerged from, but that the mouse was currently still present under a bench of 15 customers that were still dining and eating. If you care about your health and wellbeing DO NOT EAT AT RED'S, because clearly the staff and manager are very aware of the mouse infestation and believe it's completely normal to have mice joining customers in their dinning experience.

reds is our breakfast spot to go to. Debbie was our waitress this morning. myself & my wife ordered the cheese omelette with homefries & toast. was really good. highly recommend reds

The Mediterranean Warm Salad was a hit from the special menu. I ordered with turkey tips. Flavors were very good, looked beautiful on the plate. No dressing needed. Sauteed zucchini, eggplant and a few other veggies on a bed of lettuce. A lot of food. Overall you can't go wrong with Red's.

I love this place. Let me tell you why. Not only is the food consistently delicious, but the people who work there feel like family. I have been going to Red's for years...breakfast, lunch, dinner, and sometimes just drinks at the bar. I am there every week, sometimes 2-3 times a week. Massimo, the owner, and all of the staff are always friendly, accommodating, and always make sure their customers are happy. I have had almost everything on the menu, but my favorites are the Eggs Benedict, Eggs Florentine and Yogurt Parfait for breakfast. Also, I don't know what they do to their scrambled eggs, but they are heavenly. For dinner, I love their Parmesan Crusted Chicken, Baked Haddock, Seafood Paella, and Chicken Parm. When they have it on special, their Beef Carpaccio and Prime Rib are to die for. The drinks, made by the awesome Amanda, Matty, Jen, Julie, and Joelle are always top notch. I highly recommend the Manly Mimosa, Berry Bellini, Rasbperry Cosmo, and Mojito. Make sure to check this place out, but be mindful it is packed on weekends for brunch so be patient if you have to wait...it's worth it!

Im torn on this place... so we have been meaning to go for years and then we actually went one time & they were closed, I feel like they shut down and are now back open, so yeah we went last week. Had an afternoon with mom with no kids so we stopped in for "Brunch", we got some Bloody Mary's and Oysters, Prices on things were great, Portions were huge... Bloody Mary was tasty but could have had more Vodka in it, Just saying. Oysters are oysters, they were shucked ok! LOL Mom got a sandwich, I got an Omelet, and it was DELISH... My only gripe is they were SLOW... We came in and were told 15 mins, and then we sat there for closer to 30, were offered a high top table (Mom is slightly handicapped and needs a cane - no way High Top Table would have worked for her, she just had knee replacement, dangling legs wouldnt have worked) so that I guess meant we had to wait 20 more mins for a real table. Then the service was just slow and crazy. There were about 5 menus which was all over the place, but lots were duplicate items, Only had a handful of Apps, which Im a huge fan of so that was kind of a bummer for me, I would rather have apps than a meal (small plates are my thang!) I will def go back for dinner and see if some of their fish and seafood is worth the trip because the prices and portions were great. Its essentially like a nice diner with a full bar... Will update upon return!

The staff were outwardly courteous, but the overall experience was so unwelcoming. It was as if they wanted us to leave before we were ever served. The restaurant is very large inside, but my partner and I were ushered to a table in a back corner, in a separate room with a warehouse-like atmosphere very different from the character of the main dining area. We were jammed awkwardly between two other tables that, at the time we were seated, were both full of families with small children. In our corner, the AC was blowing directly onto us full blast. It was so cold that I just physically could not enjoy my meal. I could barely eat at all, so I cannot comment on the food. It was impossible to sit and enjoy our meal with frigid air blowing on us. And of course the food itself rapidly became cold. Instead of checking on us, the waitstaff just rushed us out. I was interested to try Red's, but after this first experience I do not think we will be back. It seems that, for some reason, we simply were not welcome.

Great breakfast here. It's always very packed with people. If it wasn't for that, it would be my favorite breakfast place. But that's not a bad thing about the restaurant. That must mean they're doing something right.

Terrible Caesar salad, terrible bread, terrible mozzarella sticks, terrible Diet Coke. The service was alright, the music being played was good. The food was not for the weak. Excellent French fries though.

MEH EHH MEH. Reds, I wanted to love you but the past few times you've just been A-OK entree wise. Food falls short, grilled chicken had too many flavors the bacon was too sweet and the sauce didn't mix well. It was also impossible to eat seeing it was a circle piece of chicken and the bread was overly sized for the sandwich. WAH. Nothing like food crumbling from your hands the entire time your eating. Lobster roll was pretty good yet not the best. However at 14.99 it was a solid choice. The dollar oysters and two dollar shrimp cocktail are amazing. Service was friendly and a lot of seating options and bar. Everything is just A-OK.

Excellent food! We had omelets, French toast and biscuits and gravy. Everything was excellent! The restaurant was busy but we were greeted as we walked in and our server treated us as if we the only customers. The restaurant was clean and we were given extra napkins. I would recommend.

I went to RED's for the first time this past Sunday. There were 7 of us. The food was delicious, the staff were outstanding and the owner D Massimo was wonderful. This is a great restaurant. This was my first time there but it will absolutely not be my last. I want to give special thanks to Massimo for his hospitality. Thank you Robin:)

The seafood casserole was my go to dinner at Reds, they upped the price and took out sea scallops for small bay scallops. Very disappointing. Overall not as good as it once was a couple years ago.

Okay I really wish I could give 3.5/5 here. I just have to be honest - it was fine. Not bad, but really nothing special. Now, the service was GREAT. Our waitress knew the menu like the back of her hand and she was very warm and friendly. We did not wait very long either. The food was just fine, that's the thing. Honestly, the pancakes tasted plain and empty. Okay maybe that's on me I only ordered plain pancakes - but I've had much better plain pancakes. The sausage was good, the potatoes were a bit burnt and forgettable. I think Red's is a fine place for breakfast with great service. Maybe their dinner is better?

Great service all around, host and waitresses were great . Environment was moderate. "BUT" one thing is that the GM is a character! GM brings raw fish to our table & insults our opinion on the quality and freshness of the fish Baked Haddock, when we're the consumers! Pretty sure he hasn't or did not taste the fish either ! Honestly that was very disrespectful. + he doesn't even come back to assure anything after we got a Re-fire on the haddock & had a host bring it instead; What-A-Guy. The Type of hospitality he gave . So yea

We were on Route 1 and my two friends took me here when I said I was starving. They said they liked this place so much that they've been here twice in one week. I can't say that I enjoyed this place as much as they do but it doesn't make it to my ban list. I ordered the roast beef club with onion rings instead of french fries. The sandwich left room for improvement but I was so hungry I wolfed it down. The roast beef was very dry but edible since there was mayonnaise, tomato, and lettuce to accompany it. The onion rings looked better than they tasted which was flavorless and soggy. My friends got breakfast and I stole home fries from one of their plates because she has the appetite of a 3 year old. Those too were flavorless and soggy. Not the worst place they could have taken me but far, far from the best.

I have been here twice recently and left both times thinking " it is not very good" both the food and the service

You need to sit at the counter near the door and watch the loving family like management style of this destination. A new hostess starts- she is welcomed into a family. The servers are great and the food spectacular. Did I mention $1 oysters?
