1860 Public House — Restaurant in Red Bud

Went to 1860 to try something new as the other restaurant we wanted to go to was closed greeted nice went to the bar asked what we wanted to drink. Received that and the and the lady /server/bartender asked I she could bring some rolls out. We were like sure this is our first time here got our food, which was four out of five because there was lumps in the potatoes, which made it a little dry when biting into them so I asked for butter for that and another butter for the broccoli. I also had salmon and I asked for tartar sauce. So then when we received our bill, we were charged $2.50 for three rolls which again we were asked if she could bring some out, we weren’t asked or informed that would be like an appetizer or a charge. We just thought it was part of the meal. We were not told / informed there was a charge for butter nor the tarter sauce. I asked the server/bartender to come over to the table and I said we will not pay for the rolls. We weren’t told there was a fee. We will not pay for butter. We will not pay for tartar sauce since we both had fish should come with it, so she takes the receipt over to the manager, lady I don’t know who she was she did not say and She comes over to the table and she says she will take the tartar sauce off, but not the rolls & butter and I started to say if… And then she instantly said you will talk to me respectfully, and I replied, and you will talk to me respectfully… So I continued and said if we were told and inform that it cost for the rolls, we would’ve said no or yes, and we had no idea And she says it’s in the menu again. This is our first time here at this place and we didn’t have time to look at the menu. We were just asked if she could bring out some rolls for us so we said yes. And then she also said why haven’t you been to restaurants where they charge you for extra things I said yes but they let us know there’s an extra charge. I said I can give you one of the butters back if you want your butter back she said yes I would so I reached into the bag, with the containers we already put together in to go bag and I gave her one container of butter, so I don’t know if she put it back in the rotation and gave it to another customer .. and after I remember, I don’t think I have been charged for butter or tartar sauce, especially when we both had fish. I had a picture of the menu so wouldn’t we left? I looked at it and it says a dollar/guest. I’m assuming that means a dollar per roll. If so, why were we given three there was only two of us and why were recharge $2.50 that makes no sense. The server/bartender should’ve clarified Since we were there for the first time and asked if we wanted any appetizers like rolls or something then we would’ve known it was a charge and we would’ve denied them. … I rate the food a 4 outta 5 because of the lumps in the mashed potatoes. Otherwise, it was very good. The treatment we had at the end by this I don’t even know who who she is lady and not listening to the customer very well and she needs to make it clear. Are there servers need to make it clear it cost for butter seriously. Quite disappointed again the food was rated for we would’ve come back, but we will not be back and we will let other people know of the treatment we received which was unprofessional and...

We ordered out today and got our food about 2:30pm. This was our first and last time ordering from here. When we got home we didn't notice right away our burgers were switched because the fries were put in the wrong box. I got the Goat Burger with fries. I took a bite and immediately spit it out because the tomatoes on it were absolutely disgusting. They weren't wrotten, but old maybe or stored improperly. There were crunchy onions on it, which weren't in the description and the "onion strings" were very skimpy and actually just chopped. There was a very small amount of goat cheese in the center not enough to cover the top of the patty. The fries were overcooked and some were even hollow. They put pickle spears in the box with your fries so the fries tasted like pickles. My husband got the Backyard Burger and was just disappointed. The flavor combination was just off and the bacon tasteless like it was fried not grilled. We asked for no pink in the burgers and got pink burgers anyway. He also got a pretzel and it was hard. We live not even five minutes away so it must have been old. We didn't finish our food and wasted 36 dollars on two burgers. Broccoli and beer cheese was the only good thing in the entire meal. Definitely not worth all the hype. Mistakes happen, but this place is WAY too EXPENSIVE for poor food quality. They weren't even busy either so there's just no...

We passed through redbud several times a month, but seldom eat out because a member of our family has AlphaGal Syndrome. (It’s a tick borne illness that makes you allergic to all mammal products. That includes beef, pork,dairy, and all sorts of hidden ingredients.)

Eating out has become less fun and more stressful.

This restaurant in a small town exceeded the experience we have had in almost any big city dining establishment.

They took the allergy seriously, while having a sense of humor about it and made sure that our family member could not only eat safely but have food she actually wanted and enjoyed.

The service was great as well.

The food was fresh and well prepared and the decor of the space was perfectly executed. I actually googled the tree wallpaper to put in my own home!

Personally, I had a delicious hand battered cod sandwich. The spicy tartar sauce was amazing.

Lunch with two alcoholic drinks (including an excellent Manhattan) was just over $40.

Their beers on draft represented an unusual and excellent selection as well.

They clearly have a strong local following that appreciates them and the staff knew all of their regulars by name and preferred food/drinks.

We were so grateful for a delicious meal and their kindness and will definitely be back. Highly recommend. It’s hard to find places anymore where “hospitality” is truly...
