The Red Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Collinsville

Walked into this place, and it felt like a very small neighborhood bar with just a few people at the bar. The bartender was very friendly when we asked to sit outside. She said that we have to order at the bar if we are sitting outside, no biggie. There were 6 of us total. We ordered 2 coney dogs, a chef salad, onion rings, wings, fried pickles, loaded nachos, 2 BLTs, and tons of drinks. She brought our food out despite being the only one working the bar.

I probably won't be back for awhile or untill I hear that the service gets better. It's a shame because I love the food and the atmosphere, but terrible workers well run customers out faster...

Food is great, and drinks priced to industry standard. Minus 2 stars because I found it unprofessional for the bartenders to be drinking during their shift, multiple hours before closing time. I understand if a customer buys them a shot, which was the case one time. But I heard the 2 bartenders later on discussing what their next shot would be, and they proceeded to make it. Also, one actively gambles during her shift on the video slots.

Unprofessional, and service suffered at times likely as a result. I still tipped handsomely, but was a turn-off to be honest. Drink when you're off of work! If they're paid an hourly wage, this is...
