The Red Coat Tavern

The Red Coat Tavern is just one of those places you have to love. Walking through the front doors it takes your eyes about 10 minutes to adjust to the dark, red hued lights. Once you can see your hand in front of your face it makes you feel like you've arrived somewhere special and unique.

Ask anyone, and they will insist the burgers are some of the best in the area. I too agree, they really don't get much better than this!

Each burger is handcrafted to your liking, and the menu contains about a dozen and a half of additional items to add. If you are balling on a budget, be sure to ask how much for each additional item you want, because they do not give the prices on the menu...they be schemin'.


I ordered the classic burger, with sharp American, sauteed mushrooms, bacon, lettuce & burger sauce.

Burger sauce is just mayo with chopped up onions, your mouth will thank you but your make out partner might hate you.

Picky eater's burger with provolone & bacon.




The french fries tasted just like McDonald's to me, not sure why.

the onion rings were amazing, the beer batter was on point.

The Littlest Lunch Guru passed up everything for his new found favorite food- PICKLES!



Despite the "Don't feed the animals" sign, we ignored it and fed the Littlest Lunch Guru all he fancied.

Special thanks to Big J, for supporting this endeavor to the fullest :)
