Since it opening in 2006, Red Pony Restaurant has impressed guests by staying true to a mission focused on cuisine and service.
Chef owned and operated, Red Pony changes its menu about six times a year with the intention of keeping ingredients the season’s freshest and the variety of dishes dynamic.
While a great deal of the menu pays homage to the Sophisticated Southern foods Chef Jason McConnell grew up on, you will also see a reflection of his travels, that drive his creativity.
It is our belief that food is something to be celebrated. We also believe that experience is a huge part of dining. Whether it be enjoying a crafted cocktail at one of our bars or enjoying dinner at the table, we want each guest to be seamlessly guided through their time at Red Pony Restaurant.
We love our community and we love food.

    We had a great experience overall! Our first time dining @ the Red Pony and our server John was excellent and made our first time dining experience a memorable one! He was very knowledgeable on the menu and gave great recommendation on food and drinks! My husband got the shrimp & grits and he said they were excellent! I got the beef tenderloin, it wasn’t my favorite, but the crispy potatoes were delicious’ we also ordered the focaccia and it was probably the best we’ve had! Would definitely recommend this restaurant!

    As always a pleasure to eat at Red Pony, a favorite of both mine and my husband. Tonight we tried the brussel sprouts on the appetizer menu, and oh my, I didn’t know I liked brussel sprouts until I met these! Entrees and dessert were delicious! Still wish blue cheese corn risotto was an option, one of my favorites from the past!

    My wife and I had our anniversary dinner at Red Pony, and while our server and food were good, the hostess was not welcoming and seemed uninterested in being there. I know people have bad days, but not even a “goodbye” or “thank you for coming” as we were leaving is less than satisfactory.

    Probably ordered the wrong meal. The carrot salad was hilariously tiny and the salmon just not that good. Folks ordered the reduced size shrimp & grits and liked it. The steak was ok…..nothing extraordinary

    We sat at the bar and enjoyed our 46th anniversary dinner. We had a terrific time with the bartenders and patrons. Everything was outstanding! Our meals were world class.
