About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Alejandro was a great server! Awesome recommendations and menu knowledge! The beef fat potatoes and asparagus were the best components of our meals! The host was not overly friendly but our interaction was brief. We sat upstairs and it was nice and cozy. The music seemed to be played from a radio or pandora station so there were random ads playing which was a bit odd. Overall, Alejandro really made up for the minor misses and we can’t wait to come back!

    As always, Red Pony's selection and preparation is outstanding. The ambience is ideal for intimate dinners or small groups. I recommend it heartily!

    I normally have a great review for the Red Pony...however, the new menu offers no chicken option, the cosmo was half full for a full price and the spinach salad had 12 leaves of spinach, literally. Very disappointing.

    Though this has been one of our favorite places to celebrate special occasions, our experience last night was just so so. The server was overextended and therefore was a bit delayed in refilling drinks and taking order. Shrimp and grits portion was small. Seafood lasagna was actually closer to room temperature- didn’t get warmed up all the way it seemed. Overall, food was just good but not great, especially for the price. Old fashion was really good though. Will reconsider before returning.

    We loved our waiter, Rocky! He told us a history on the place and knew every dish by heart. He was prompt and friendly. We never had a better waiter or a better steak! The food was beautiful and delicious. We are horse people so we obviously adored the atmosphere! We had a great night out. We will be back!
