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.

    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.

    We had not been to Red Pony in quite a while. I made a reservation for my husband’s birthday, and had some family surprise him. It was perfect! The meal was delicious and we had a wonderful evening!!

    Annie, our server, was just right. An overall delightful evening. A bit expensive but what restaurant isn’t?

    Outstanding. Red Pony is one of the first restaurants I check when we have an event to celebrate. On the same par as downtown restaurants, without the headache of Nashville.
