“Pretty good BBQ! Neat laid back atmosphere.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

We eat here every so often. They cater for our church dinners as well. They have pretty good BBQ. They have great fried Okra and Brunswick Stew. Their coleslaw is pretty gross though unless you like it extremely bland. This is a family friendly restaurant with a cool laid back atmosphere. Why not give it a try?

“Good Foord and Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

The Red Hot and Blue in Leesburg Virginia is very good. The food was tasty and service very good. I got the seafood sampler with catfish and shrimp. Everything was freshly made and tasted very good. My wife got a pulled pork sandwich and she said it was excellent. My wife is doing Weight Watchers and she asked if they had nutritional guide so she could count her points. The waitress said she would check and she came back with a full print out of everything they had with the nutrional information. Now that's great service! This is a place we will go back to and enjoy it very much.

“Not a good Red Hot and Blue”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

I usually enjoy RH&B restaurants but this particular one is very dissappointing. EVERY time I have been there I have been subject to vacuuming right by my table. The service is miserable and the food is ordinary. I live just in town a few blocks away and have tired this place for lunch and dinner on several different occaisions and am always unhappy when I leave.

“Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

We walked into the restaurant just as two employees passed by without greeting us or offering to seat us at a table. We were waiting for a few minutes to be seated, but nobody came to assist us. The place was completely empty, which is never a good sign on a Saturday afternoon. 3-4 waitresses were gathered together chatting with the bar-woman, too preoccupied to notice that customers were waiting by the entrance. We walked to them, interrupting the chatting and we were finally seated at a table.

I ordered pulled pork platter, and it was brought very quickly.

The presentation was good, but the food was disappointing. The meat was dry, cold and completely tasteless, with a spoonful of warm BBQ sauce on top of it. One scoop of so-so potato salad and a small serving of beans fresh out of a can of Bush's Baked Beans. There are much better ways to spend $10.00 plus tax and tip for lunch. I will not go back again.

“Atmosphere is pleasant; food varies”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013

This is a nice place to enjoy some blues music in the background, see a jazz/blues theme around the decor, and enjoy bar-b-que meals. Pulled pork, pulled chicken, and sandwich platters are inexpensive, but ribs price higher and are sometimes awesome, and sometimes not so awesome. I have found, after 10+ visits, that my interest in returning to "do it again" is waning, unlike some restaurants for which I have not waned of interest in their flavor after 20+ visits.
