About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighborhood gem
Since it opening in 2006, Red Pony Restaurant has impressed guests by staying true to a mission focused on cuisine and service.
Chef owned and operated, Red Pony changes its menu about six times a year with the intention of keeping ingredients the season’s freshest and the variety of dishes dynamic.
While a great deal of the menu pays homage to the Sophisticated Southern foods Chef Jason McConnell grew up on, you will also see a reflection of his travels, that drive his creativity.
It is our belief that food is something to be celebrated. We also believe that experience is a huge part of dining. Whether it be enjoying a crafted cocktail at one of our bars or enjoying dinner at the table, we want each guest to be seamlessly guided through their time at Red Pony Restaurant.
We love our community and we love food.

    Our experience was simply magical. Our servers, John and Jennifer, went above and beyond to make our night special. John had a deep rich knowledge of the restaurant’s history and explained each dish in great detail to help guide us in our culinary adventure. Every single dish, sauce, and drink brought out was absolutely amazing. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our Anniversary. WE WILL BE BACK!

    Six of us dined here before a theater production. Our waiter was kind, our food was good. The ambience was pleasing. Everything was quite expedient. No complaints, only compliments.

    My wife and I live in Franklin and the restaurant is close by. We were very disappointed in our experience. My wife’s selection was so salty. She could not eat it. My choice was average. I had made my reservation via OpenTable : asked if we were celebrating any event And in fact we were. It was my wife’s birthday. I don’t know why this question is asked because there is no recognition of such. That’s OK, but would be so easy to at least say happy birthday. But that did not occur. Bread is not served with the entrées And it should be given the pricing structure but halfway through the meal we asked for bread and of course, the only option is a bread appetizer, which is a lot of bread. But it didn’t show up until we had finished our dinner. We told the waiter we were not interested in having the bread since it came after we had finished the meal. This did not seem to be of any concern. The overall atmosphere of a warm and friendly customer service culture just did not exist. So disappointed.
