Red’s Bar and Grill is located in Litchfield AZ in the Golf Course of the Wigwam Resort. This is a very casual family friendly restaurant and bar that serves American Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. I thought it might be a pretty good choice for lunch because they were running a couple’s three course special for restaurant week for only $33.00. For $33.00 a couple shared an appetizer, got a sandwich platter and a dessert. That sounds like a great deal to me.
They have a BIG Parking LOT but it was already FULL….
We were able to park nearby on the street.
On the way in I noticed that Red’s Bar and Grill is officially dog friendly too!
We walk in and I see they are cleaning up a buffet.
We get to the hostess desk and one person is in front of us.
DANG……
This guy in-front of us says………….he has a group of EIGHTY people ……
How often does something like that happen?…….
The restaurant is not so full with people yet…….. but since 80 people are ahead of us they tell us we have to sit outside and it’s very hot today…..
I say that I’ll take a patio seat but only if I can get it in the shade. We get a seat in the shade and it’s ok.
It looks like this on the patio.
We order and while we wait we are entertained by a flying plastic bag. No wind at all today…have no idea how the bag is flying all around the golf course.
We start out by sharing the Greek Salad.
My greek Salad is made up of mostly sweet refreshing watermelon, a little red onion, cucumber and feta cheese and a few olives. It’s a just right starter for when you’re hungry on a hot day.
Next we get our Sandwich Platters.
I got the Fish Po Boy.
I got a tempura battered piece of fish that was shaped similar to a hot dog on top of a really BIG Hoagie bun with crunchy citrus slaw, tomatoes and a creamy remoulade. The ROLL is so big that it is impossible to eat this as a sandwich. It’s way WAY WAYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyy TOO MUCH BREAD for me but I do have to say that it is unusually delicious bread. I should have asked about it. Did they bake it? Who made it for them?……..The Fries were also a very large generously sized portion, seemed hand cut with skins and were generously salted and stayed piping hot.
My husband had the Cobb Burger requested with the blue cheese on the side and no guacamole. His Cobb Burger had a Fried Egg, Smoked Bacon, Lettuce, Onion and Tomato.
I watched the egg yolk burst when my husband took a bite. The burger was dripping golden goodness.
However the Burger was prepared to a perfect MEDIUM so my husband didn’t get his medium rare he was hoping for. It seems that Medium Rare Burgers happen as often as Snowy days in Phoenix. Medium Rare Burgers just don’t happen and neither does Phoenix have snowy days. I was told the pickle was very good but the burger was sort of dry.
After the sandwich plates we were presented with Two Great Big Ice Cream Sandwiches.
Now both of these ice cream sandwiches were really good and were made with fresh hand made detailed cookies. The Ice Cream Sandwich on the left was made with Peanut Butter Drizzled Chip Cookies. The center was Milk Chocolate Ice Cream and around the sides was some peanut butter and some fudge. The Sandwich on the right had Chocolate Chocolate Chip White Drizzled Cookies and was filled with milk chocolate ice cream.
A sweet ending to our Visit to Red’s Bar and Grill.
