from Google"We stopped into Red Lion Grog House for a late lunch and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. We were warmly greeted the moment we walked in and seated right away, which set a great tone for the meal. I ordered a side of their signature hand‑cut chips. Our server made sure to clarify that they’re American‑style fries rather than the chunky chips you might find in Europe. Either way, they were absolutely delicious. My wife chose the Reuben Sandwich with a side of coleslaw, and she couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. The sliced corned beef, sauerkraut, melted Swiss cheese, and 1000 Island dressing on marbled rye came together perfectly. We wrapped up with their Elephant Ear dessert, inspired by the Indiana State Fair, and it was the perfect sweet finish to the meal. Service was outstanding throughout. It was friendly, attentive, and impressively quick. The food arrived promptly and was clearly prepared with care. The historic character of the building adds even more charm to the experience. A wonderful spot for great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!"
"So sad our experience went this way..was excited for the Scotch Eggs and Fish & Chips. The eggs honestly weren't bad but the fish was so subpar it was embarrassing. Grease soaked and not crispy at all. Fried pickles were good but seemed like they arent made in-house"
"Red Lion Grog House offers a cozy, pub-style atmosphere with a definite Irish flair. The decor leans toward the darker, dingier side, but there’s a certain charm to it—and the warm and welcoming staff more than make up for any visual gloom. I tried the Reuben with slaw, which came on rye bread that struck a perfect balance between crispy and soft. While they craft their sauces and slaw in-house, the sauerkraut is not made from scratch, which felt like a slight letdown given their otherwise homemade approach. We also sampled their “famous” fish and chips. The fish was fried to a lovely golden brown and delivered a satisfying crunch—definitely a solid choice. The shepherd’s pie was hearty and comforting, resembling a beef stew with mashed potatoes in a pastry crust. Generously topped with peas and cheddar, it was flavorful and filling. Another highlight was the curry chicken. Although it lacked the heat and bold spice you might expect from a curry, the chicken itself was tender and well-cooked, making it enjoyable in its own mild way. The house-made slaw, served as a side, was the only consistent disappointment. It tasted fresh but fell flat flavor-wise—definitely in need of more zing or acidity. In the end, Red Lion Grog House delivers classic, satisfying pub food at a reasonable price point. It’s not gourmet, but if you’re in the mood for hearty, comforting fare in a relaxed environment, this place hits the mark."
"Hit or miss. We stopped coming here years ago because a change in chef resulted in menu items changing. We have now come back 3 times in close succession. First 2x just recently were excellent food experiences. This third time was bad. I had the fish and chips all three times. This time the fish was greasy, the fries were cold and a very small portion "bottom of the bag" remnants. I think they were hoping the hot fish would heat up the cold fries. The pickle fries were not even coated and were a small portion (maybe incorrect from what I remembered). Plate was extremely chipped and should not be in use. Loved the patio the other 2 visits."
"Great little place. Food was fantastic and cooked right next to the bar. Tender was nice and attentive. Cooks were nice as well, they came around and chatted for a bit as well."
