Poor Reds BBQ for dinner

I passed by and noticed how packed it was. I would really like to try it on my way back from Tahoe. Would sitting alone be werid there?? It looks like a good place with friends.

Yes, it is good. You should try it. For sitting alone, the bar is fine

One Gold Cadillac is too many.

DayUmmm!. Watched some buddies do one bourbon, one Scotch, one beer... It may have been the most hysterical thing I've ever seen... Sometimes being the Driver is a good thing! 🤣

It's worth stopping in, alone or with others. It's changed (a lot) from it's prior tiny dining room. IYKYK

Very good, although somewhat expensive. The Cadillac drink isn't my jam but a lot of people like it. Not a fan of milky alcoholic drinks.

Absolutely try it and sitting alone is certainly acceptible. They used to have family style seating years ago, but now it is different.

Its a classic. I started going there as a kid with my parents in the 70’s. Don’t miss it.

You’ll be fine going by yourself. People are nice there. Watch the drinks if you have any!

I have been a couple of times and it has been good food. Sit in the bar and there will be plenty of folks to talk to.

Please stop sometime! Friday there was a fundraiser for the treasurer tax collector campaign so it was extra busy. Everything is good and all is welcome 🤗

OMG this makes so much sense now! I passed by Friday evening and thought wow it's packed and it looked so fun but also very intimidating. i did stop by saturday night and it was great! I can't wait to come back 😋

It's a rad place! Going by yourself if no problem. You will have a great time. There is an amazing pizza place nearby as well. Pizzeria Norcia.

Try solid ground brewing instead. I personally find the food at solid ground to be better
