The Red Stag Tavern Vidalia

When trying to find new restaurants in the area, I came across Red Stag Tavern, which had great reviews for the food, so we decided to try it. Upon walking in, it seemed more sports bar than it did restaurant, which was a little concerning at the time, since we were going to eat and not drink, but we decided to stay. I'm glad we did. The restaurant is a very casual environment, with a "pub" feel entrance and rear dining room with stage, but also a deck off the back of the building which overlooks a pond. Unfortunately the patio was closed the night we went, so we chose to eat in the rear dining area. We ordered the Tavern shrimp as an appetizer, which were large and fried well, also came with a dipping sauce which was pretty tasty. Next we had the Philly cheessteak, with fries, a dude burger, with onion rings, and the house salad. The salad came out nice with fresh greens. The Philly wasn't the best Philly we've had, but was OK. The dude burger (aside from being undercooked, I ordered medium and got red, almost rare inside) was delicious. I ate the while thing even being undercooked. The real surprise, however, were the fries and onion rings, they were delicious. I would go back just for them. The server told us they had trivia nights on Tuesday and live music Friday and Saturday, which all sound like fun, and we will probably return for one of those nights to check them out.

Was visiting the Vidalia area on a business trip & went here for dinner with a few of my coworkers. From the refreshing drinks to the delicious food and great service, we had a fantastic time and highly recommend it! 🍻😋
