I stopped going to Red's after being badly treated twice. The first time was when I was trying to treat my gentleman friend to dinner for his birthday. The "hostess" let me stand at the door for what seemed like forever while she chatted with customers who were trying to eat their meals. She saw me there and totally ignored... More

I'm hoping that one of the thousands of customers who come to Red's and tell us they love it will soon post a positive comment on Trip Advisor. Thank you to those those who have already made positive comments. And we appreciate (and cringe) at the negative comments. It keep us in check, and to tell us where we need... More

Red's is run by the most arrogant, rude family I've ever encountered. If you're not in the "in" crowd you'll be completely ignored. The food is nothing to write home about and the prices are high for what you get. I've gone there 5 or 6 times and it just kept getting worse. I gave up on them about a... More

Yes, it's BYOB and the dining room is small, but the atmosphere and location near the fishing boats in Point Pleasant make it worth the trip. My lobster was perfectly cooked and in line with the normal market price, and bringing my own craft beer allowed me to enjoy my own rare brew without having to pay inflated restaurant beer... More

Although Red's suffered a great deal of damage thanks to Hurricane Sandy, we were happy to hear on the news that they opened again. This is always our local go-to for when we want fresh seafood. We have always found the servers pleasant and the food is consistent. The clams posillipo is one of our menu favorites. Once the season... More

Very underwhelmed by this place. Very high prices for food served on paper plates outside and a very rushed and cramped atmosphere inside. There are too many choices in the area to do this again.

If you want a good lobster in a great seashore atmosphere, bring your bottle and sit outside on their deck. You order and pick up at a counter. They have ice for your BYOB and do bus your table. We've never sat inside because it always seemed cramped and often with a long wait - and we like the atmosphere... More

Had the best scallops and shrimp. The scallolps just melted in your mouth. Small hole in the wall place with excellent food. It fills up fast since there are only about 10 tables so you may have to wait but it's worth it.

Though I feel bad rating this place only a 3, it may deserve a 4. The seafood is fresh (as it should be in this location) and the view is great. If you want somewhere to eat quicker and sit by the water for a few, this is your place. There is a fresh seafood menu that's great for the... More
