Red Heat Tavern — Restaurant in Bedford

Title: "A Culinary Adventure Gone Awry: The Saga of the Ginger Sesame Bowl"

🌟 Introduction:

Once upon a time, in the land of takeout and culinary quests, I embarked on an odyssey to satisfy my hunger pangs. The restaurant in question—formerly a beacon of deliciousness—had been my refuge during countless dinner time battles. Alas, this tale takes a darker turn.

🍽️ The Familiar Order:

Ah, the "Ginger Sesame Bowl with Salmon"—a dish that once danced on my taste buds like a well-choreographed samba. Its flavors pirouetted between ginger zing and sesame swagger. But on that fateful Saturday evening, destiny had other plans.

🚀 The Unveiling:

I tore open the takeout bag with the anticipation of a child unwrapping a forbidden treasure. Behold! The salmon—once a majestic swimmer of the culinary seas—now resembled a sunburned tourist who'd overstayed their beach vacation. Overcooked? More like over-ambitious.

🍚 The Rice Riddle:

And then, my fork met the rice. Each grain seemed to harbor secrets—perhaps whispered by ancient rice spirits. But alas, they'd missed the memo on al dente. My teeth crunched through the grains like a squirrel cracking walnuts. Crunchy rice: the latest fitness trend, apparently.

💧 The Mysterious Liquid:

At the bowl's bottom lay a murky pool—a liquid abyss. Was it a sauce? A soup? A failed potion from a novice wizard? I dipped my spoon, half-expecting to unlock hidden powers. Instead, I discovered the essence of disappointment.

🗑️ The Grand Finale:

Desperate times called for desperate measures. I microwaved the rice separately, hoping for a resurrection. Alas, it remained stubbornly unyielding. With a heavy heart (and a lighter wallet), I bid adieu to my $25 misadventure. The trash can applauded my sacrifice.

Epilogue:

Dear "Le Delicioso Hideaway," you were once my gustatory sanctuary. Now, you're a cautionary tale—a reminder that even the mightiest dishes can stumble. May your chefs find their way back to culinary enlightenment, and may my next takeout adventure be less crunchy and more harmonious.

Unless at some point in the future I have a positive experience, I would advise people to steer clear of this restaurant.

I ordered a pulled pork grilled cheese for $18.50. The pork was not pulled, the cheese was not melted, and the entire sandwich was cold. I will now dive into each of these aspects:

It came looking like a grilled cheese that had been made from a gas station. The pulled pork was not spread throughout the entire sandwich but rather in a big mess in the center. The cheese had not melted and was lately affixed to the bread (which was grilled perfectly).

Worse than that, the pulled pork came in one large clump. It had not been pulled. It was a pork chop and cheese sandwich that had been delivered to me.

There was no cheese pull when you pulled it apart. It was a pulled pork sandwich. The cheese was not grilled and it was not very cheesy at all. If somebody took out the "pulled" pork and called it a grilled cheese I would argue with them.

My partner ordered a salad. Remember that large chunk of pork that they put into the middle of my sandwich? It was somehow colder than the lettuce she had been served.

I mentioned it to the waitress who grabbed it and left. It came back a couple minutes later and reheated. That means they either took it and put it into the oven or they microwaved it.

In either case, by the time the sandwich was reheated the fries were limp and cold.

There was no sauce to it that I could tell. The sandwich itself was dry and bland. In fact, 3/4 of us thought the food was bland. One lucky person enjoyed their meal, but then again they ordered the sauces on the side so they could apply as much or little as...

I honestly hate leaving reviews but I do when I'm blatantly disrespected and taken advantage of. I've gotten take out a few times here but after tonight, I absolutely won't be returning. First when I picked up my order and got to my car to check it, I realized a $14 soft pretzel I ordered was not included. Ok fine, no big deal.. so I go back in and it had been sitting there the whole time under the bag they originally gave me. When I went back in the host could not have been more hostile and annoyed at me for requesting my order be complete. She hands me the box.. no apologies. Ok whatever. So I again return to the car and realize the box does not contain the promised cheese, spicy mustard, and honey mustard. Alright now I'm getting annoyed. I again go back in to explain and the host is even more hostile, returning with a single tiny container of just the cheese. And when I ask for the mustard she replies "well that's all they gave me". Sorry I'm not picky but after spending $55 total including a 15% tip on takeout it'd be cool if I could get what I paid for. It's not like mustard is expensive. A few minutes later I'm handed a container of mustard that looks like honey mustard. At this point I'm just **ing fed up. You win, Red Heat, sorry for putting you out. I'll just go to the grocery store to buy some spicy mustard. And when I get home, the container I assumed was honey mustard was just regular yellow mustard I could've squirted out of a bottle at home. I recommend Red Heat looks into hiring some hosts who don't despise...
