If you're looking for a diverse menu with a focus on fresh, made-from-scratch dishes, Red Door Woodfired Grill is a must-visit. Their menu has something for everyone, offering a wide variety of sandwiches, salads, tacos, and grilled entrees. It's clear they put a lot of care into every dish, using high-quality ingredients and cooking them to perfection. For my last few visits, my go-to has been the Spicy Blue hamburger, and it’s hard to imagine ordering anything else. The Black Angus beef patty is perfectly cooked, paired with rich aged blue cheese, crispy frizzled onions, and a kick of heat from the serrano chile aioli. Topped off with fresh shaved lettuce and vine-ripened tomato, it’s the perfect combination of flavors that keeps me coming back. The service here is always top-notch. From the moment you're greeted by the friendly hostess to the attentive waitstaff, the experience is quick, efficient, and enjoyable. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, Red Door Woodfired Grill is always a reliable choice. It’s become a staple for us, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious, satisfying meal.
