Ole Red has a diverse menu that caters to different tastes, but make sure to try their Nashville-style hot chicken and their delicious craft burgers.

They have different options like the Southern Stack (pimento cheese, fried green tomato, and bacon), the Black and Blue (blackened seasoning and blue cheese), and the Classic Burger (lettuce, tomato, onion, and American cheese).
