Reds Roadhouse

Any time I leave a 3-star review, feel the need to point out that Yelp defines 3 stars as "A-OK.", and that's exactly what I thought this event space was, A-OK. I was here for a wedding, as a guest. Despite being an odd location, and a bit of a drive, I liked the adventure aspect. As we pulled up, we could not help but to wonder what is inside this rather non-descript building. Inside we found a large seating area, a stage, a bar, and doors to more rooms. One room was additional seating, that lead to a small outdoor area. This is were the ceremony was, and except from the sound of race car motors (I was told there is a racetrack nearby, in fact there are two - Texas Raceway & Kennedale Speedway Park), it was rather pretty.After the ceremony we returned inside, where I had the chance to wander a bit. I should have taken more pictures. The pinball machines, on the walls was interesting. The Airstream trailer being used as a stage was quite clever. There was another large red truck against one wall. Not sure what it was used for, and I forgot to take a closer look. There was also a pool table, maybe two, which many guests took advantage of. The line at the (cash) bar got quite long at times, and it actually deterred me from getting a drink. I only saw one bartender at the bar, so I stuck to the self-serve iced tea. Being a cash bar (i.e. not open), I would have thought it would have been staffed better. When prompted, we lined up for food, and were served. I thought the servers did a good job and gave off a friendly vibe. I'm assuming the food was catered, in-house, by Red's, and so your experience may differ based on the menu. I thought for what it was, chicken and beef tacos, with beans and rice, it was a little sub-par. Not horrible, just not all that great (for being in Texas). Also, the re-fried beans seem to have been a little scorched, leaving a slightly funky flavor. Apparently, in the past, Red's used to be a full time restaurant and bar. I think they lost their touch, or maybe never had it. I would seriously consider other food options, or perhaps have it catered from outside. It would be worth the extra fee. So, as a funky Texas event space, A-OK. Bottom line: Good choice if you are looking for a road-house feel for your special event.

We had our wedding Back in November at Reds Roadhouse.Let me just say, as a new bride I will never have another wedding. I still can't even think straight because of everything that has happened at this venue.The past 2 weeks preparing for the wedding have been THE WORST!!!They definitely SUCK on communication. 2 weeks before the wedding we came in to pay our final payment for our venue. That was the day we found out that, they never wrote down on our contract what time our wedding rehearsal was, also that they scheduled a sweet 16 in our venue at the same time as OUR rehearsal!!! Not even that, Courtney the owners daughter whom works their, made a SEPARATE CONTRACT!!!! Somehow managed to add another $100 to our invoice! We brought in our original contract from the what they owner made us and gave us the copy. Luckily we didn't forget it or else we would've been screwed.It doesn't stop there...After we found out about the sweet 16 being in our space, Courtney informed us that the party hasn't paid, nor had been responding to them to confirm their event.She said that she would call us that evening or the next day to confirm with us if they will be there. Never received a call..Also I had sent email, texts and had left voicemails about this. I didn't hear from them for 5 DAYS!!! Finally Lisa confirmed with me that, that party will not be their and I am golden have the rehearsal and to decorate. Finally it's 3 days before our wedding, my then fiancé shows me an email from Lisa stating that the party will be their and that we cannot decorate. So of course my fiancé called her and told that that's not right. She then tells him she is sorry and because of this we will have complimentary food and drinks in our bridal and groom suits for this. By the way, she denied us that food the day of the wedding. And none of us had eaten yet. The night of the rehearsal, we were in pitch black for the first 20 minutes and they had the parties music playing our area where we were trying to rehearse. It was so LOUD that we had to literally yell at each other. I had asked them multiple times to turn the lights on and turn the music off. Finally my sister and one of the groomsmen had to go and take care of it. Also their was a DJ setting us on our designated area setting us while we were trying to rehearse. That was not our DJ by the way. Finally the wedding day, we had no food, they never closed the curtains for where it hides the reception from the ceremony garden, like they said they would multiple times. Also, their was supposed to be a host at the entrance way greeting our guests and let them know where to sign our guest book. We only had maybe half of guests sign it. (Still trying to find out who came) then, when we were cutting our cake, their was supposed to also be a server their, that was going to cut and serve the cake. Well of course that also didn't happen. Instead the owners daughter was walking around talking to the bartender and not paying attention to that. My sister went and talked to her about that, and they never did anything about it. My sister ended up having to cut the 3 tier cake and serve it to our guests instead of being with the rest of the bridal party. Also she misses pictures too. One more thing they had another reception going on during is getting ready in the bridal suite, during that time my nieces who are 7 and 11 has to pee really bad and they knew where the restrooms were on their way, they got yelled at by a staff member at reds Roadhouse for going through room where the reception was. That's the only way they could go. And they told them that. They told them to go back to the suite and stay in there!! This place literally ruined my wedding!!! A whole year of planning and working a weekend job on top of working M-F and having our venue reserved with them since March. I left my my own wedding!!! The staff members didn't care and treated it like crap. Oh and they have a new marketing manager who is the owners daughter. I believe she is a scammer. She emailed my husband and we talked to her over the phone about everything with the wedding. She told us that she has been working behind the scenes for for about a month. She said she is trying to fix this place. Also she said she would send us a gift for having our wedding their. We never heard from her again. Also, we never heard from the Venue again.If you want a wedding that you don't give a flying crap about and appreciate being lied too. Then please go here and give them your money!

This place is an absolute nightmare. I had my wedding booked here for Oct 2016 and ended up cancelling with this venue a month before the wedding due to the actions of the owner.When I originally booked the venue it was a restaurant and brewery. Two months after we booked and put down our deposit they became a full time event venue and started adding things such as a bridal suite and ceremony garden. We were told since we were booking early in the afternoon the main building would be closed as they previously didn't open until 5pm so we booked this space on the idea that we would be the only people on the grounds at the time of our wedding. They then booked several events going on in different areas at the same time as our wedding. I could have dealt with this if it wasn't for the fact that our guests will now have to walk through someone else's event to get to our room! When they changed into an event venue and added a bridal/groom suite and ceremony garden I was not informed but saw them post pictures on the Facebook so I confirmed with the owner that I would have use of the bridal suite for getting ready the morning of the wedding (and have texts to prove it) and was also told again by the director of events when we paid in full that I would have use of their new bridal suite. Then a month before the wedding I was told since I didn't book the ceremony garden I do not get use of this area. Okay, well, it didn't exist when I booked nor did anyone reach out to tell me about it even though I was the first event booked on this date. Then I was told that the ceremony garden is already booked and the room is in use despite being told I had the use of it.Secondly, we paid a fee to have a private bar set up in or event space and then were told they are moving our event to the bar in the main room (so guests would have to leave my wedding to get a drink) even though this is not what was in my contract. Not only is it in a different area but the area it is in is in a room that they book for events! There were also going to be two other events going on at the same time that will be using the bar that we paid a fee to have set up.Aside from all of this the owner then said that we owe $1000 more than what was in our original signed contract and we also now owe $5 a person for using outside catering. When I told her that I was never told about the outside catering fee she flat out called me a liar and told me her event manager would never not tell me that. I had a copy of my contract with a hand written detailed list FROM THE EVENT MANAGER detailing that all that we owed after paying in full was the tax and a 20% production fee. Where was this extra $1000 coming from?! It was not in any of the THREE copies of my contract that I have. When I asked if she could show me an area where stating the total venue fee at the price she is now claiming she produced a copy of my contract that she used blue pen to mark out certain things and write in new things. So the claims of Lisa changing the contracts are 100% spot on.I was lucky to find another venue that was AMAZING and really saved my wedding. As for Lisa Pennington and Reds Roadhouse, they were awful and I highly doubt they are in business much longer.

This was our first time to dine at Red's Roadhouse. We were there earlier for a meeting in one of the banquet rooms and decided to stay and have a couple of appetizers since it was so late.What a funky place! I love all the old cars. To say the least, Red's has a VERY eclectic atmosphere. Our server, Sophia, took very good care of us. My wife ordered a beer and I ordered a margarita on the rocks. My margarita was delicious. We also order the "Texas Toothpicks" and Chips and Queso for our appetizers.The Texas Toothpicks are a mixture of thin slices of onions and jalapenos. The batter was almost a tempura type of batter. Very nicely served and presented. They were served with a side of Ranch dressing. The chips, queso and hot sauce was very ample. I wasn't a huge fan of Red's "smoky" salsa. There wasn't much "bite" to it.My wife and I will be back again soon to try some of Red's other menu offerings sometime soon in the future.

I cannot say it enough that choosing to have our wedding at Reds Roadhouse was the start of something great. The venue has a distinctly cool aesthetic, it's reasonably priced and the owner/ her team --Lisa, Courtney, Aleisha-- are extremely helpful, caring, WILL GO ABOVE AND BEYOND while staying patient. Because we chose Reds as our venue, we were able to stay calm, cool and damn near collected for our nupts. When you visit Reds, you'll see a unique style and palette of colors --from the tree branch stringed with lights to old classic cars; their stainglass backdrop to their armstream bar is to DIE FOR... the aesthetic of Red's Roadhouse is consistent and provides a great, semi-blank (but ultimately dreamy) backdrop for any event.It photographed so well. Everyone talked about how neat the space is and a lot of the details of the space really jump out at you and add to whatever decorations you go with.We had such an easy time working with the owner and our visitor's had nothing but the best to say about the venue's ease of accessibility and layout. If you haven't picked a place for your Fort Worth wedding, I seriously recommend Red's Roadhouse in Kennedale. We had a great experience. Major plusses: -- Affordable-- Super helpful owner-- Great looking venueWhat can I say? Get married here.

I had my wedding here back in April. The staff was very helpful and always answered my emails. They allowed me to come and visit multiple times. Since there was no event the Friday before, all of the decorating and cakes arrived well before Saturday and were stored in their kitchen! I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a laid-back environment for your guests! Oh! And the food was great!!

Not a bad place to go see local bands and have a good time. Down side is slow service and cold as hell in the back area where bands play. Overall, it's not a bad plays to hang out with friends and I would go back.

WARNING: If it's cold outside & you are watching a band, there will be no heat after about an hour of beginning. They have heaters all over but 2 tanks is all they will provide-straight from owners mouth. After that, they will not be heating the place. Also, we used 4 paper napkins & one wet bar towel to clean the table. The napkins & towel was black w/dirt. Obviously it's not in their prep procedure to wipe down the tables beforehand.Disgusting!

No refunds issued even if the person dies.I booked this venue for my mother's 80th birthday party for 2/2023, unfortunately we lost my mother unexpectedly on 5/1/2022.I reached out to get a full refund...to now use this money towards her headstone... but all I got was a lack of empathy! They are not understanding at all, my heart is broken, my mom is gone and all they care about is a contract. Contracts can be amended....if you choose to do the right thing...as this was out of our control.They chose to stick to their guns and look the other way.I had already paid $921 towards her party....after several weeks I received a partial refund of $361...I really don't understand why a full refund could not have been issued, as they still have 9 months to rent their venue out.This venue is nice.....but I would think twice about renting this place out....because you will not be refunded if one of your loved ones...are to die or have an accident. No empathy, no understanding, and no heart.

At the end of the night at a party , when almost everyone had left, but a few of us, I watched the staff come by every table and flip the dirty black tablecloths over, to the other side and put them back on the tables upside down.Don't you wash the tablecloths between parties?
