Red Hawk Bar & Grill

Red Hawk remains a solid, go-to choice for a great meal in an inviting atmosphere. We come every time we're back in Ann Arbor and they always deliver. Cozy, never too loud for conversation, lots of quality menu items to choose from and consistently good service. Thanks for being a favorite of ours since the 1990s!

Kind of a sleeper spot on State St! My husband and I didn't have a dinner reservation on a busy Thursday evening, and most restaurants we walked past on Liberty looked to be full with people waiting. We turned the corner on State and walked past Red Hawk, which looked to have plenty of capacity for walk ins. We went in and were seated right away. Right off the bat, I liked the look and feel of the interior! Cool bar, warm and modern. It does smell a bit like beer, but I don't mind that. We got a couple of apps and an entree to share family style. I also got a Bell's Two Hearted on tap, which you can never really go wrong with. Beer was nice and cold. - Beijing Duck Quesadilla with Mango Salsa. Loved this! It is really nothing like Beijing duck wraps haha, but nevertheless, the quesadilla is meaty and cheesy and the salsa adds the perfect brightness and some acidity (think it's mango and pickled onion). - Chicken Wings. It's listed on the menu as crispy and spicy. It was definitely crispy with a thick fried batter, but not spicy. Served with ranch and blue cheese. I enjoyed! It's not my husband's favorite style of chicken wing, but I like the crunchy crispy layer. The ranch was thick and seemed house made. - Traditional Red Hawk burger (cheddar, lettuce, tomato, red onion, dill pickle) with steak fries. This was a good burger! The veggies were fresh and crisp, and the burger juicy. Steak fries were done nicely. I dipped both in ketchup. We definitely left full and happy. One word of caution though (and why I took a star off) - the food is sodium heavy (I mean, especially with our choice of order so partly on us). But I actually woke up several times over night just super super thirsty. So maybe hydrate better than I did or order healthier items to balance things out a little better haha.

They finally have their full pre-covid menu back!! My favorite item on their menu is the Beet and Fennel salad and since Covid they have had a pared down menu that eliminated the most interesting things on their menu. I completely understand why they had to do that but I really missed that Beet and Fennel salad. Today I was very pleasantly surprised to see the return of the Beet and Fennel salad and several other "missing" items. As always, service was fast. We easily made it in and out before a movie. It also was quiet enough to talk.

I had major issues twice two weeks in a row. I made reservations weeks in advance. Came 10 minutes early and was refused seatin

Met a friend for lunch and we were sat right away in a booth. My friend got the mahi-mahi fish tacos that she enjoyed very much. I ordered a chopped salad and it was fresh, crisp and delicious. The servers were very attentive. The noise level was moderate, but we were still able to get some work done overall a great place for lunch.

We went to Redhawk for dinner on State street on a Friday night. We started with the Duck Quesadilla, which was very good. I had the Chicken Pot Pie for dinner, which I felt was a touch undercooked and lacked flavor. Sorta bland. I have had much better. My wife had the Chicken Caesar salad, which she said was good.The atmosphere is upscale American bar food. Casual. You would not be out of place in a suit, polo, or nice t-shirt. Our service was good. We were seated quickly, and the food came out timely. Beer menu was average.We have eaten at Red Hawk many times over the years. It can be up and down. There is nothing on the menu I need to come back to eat. Overall, it under delivers for me.

This place has nice decor and the positivity stops there. I ordered fish tacos and the fish tasted old, dry and flavorless. They also charge a whopping $8.50 for a side of french fries, which are steak fries, but extremely mushy. My mom ordered the reuben and she said the meat was dry and tasted like it had been overcooked and reheated multiple times - old.Based on my experience, I will not be back and would not recommend anyone to Red Hawk.

The Norwegian Salmon I ordered for lunch tasted fine. BUT... it was plated so the entire plate was swimming with the butter/garlic/salmon juice poured over the fish. No separate dishes/dividers. So sweet potato fries & side salad were just jammed on the same plate and literally floating in fishy liquid. Paid $30 (including tip) for a lunch where 2 of the 3 dishes were barely edible. Complained about the kitchen plating fail to the waitress, who said she'd tell them. BUT... no comp or discount on the final bill, which I would have expected. Tried to text the complaint code on the receipt, but guess what didn't work? Won't be back. There are lots of places to eat in A2 besides this.

A really cool cozy place to grab a nice bite to eat. Very simple and clean restaurant. Fun place to go for hang outs or birthday meals (B)

Food is horrible, does the chef ever taste the food? We ordered Beijing Duck quesadillas, nothing to do with Beijing duck, just plain duck meat with some cheese, weird taste. And also the sweet sour tofu, terrible. It's just onion salad mixed with fried firm tofu and dip into microwaved shiracha sauce. Totally waste of food ingredients. Won't go back!
