I think my boyfriend is still pretty miffed that I waited almost a solid year of him living in Medford before the words, ""You know where we should go? ...Redbones"" came tumbling out of my mouth. A solid twelve months of Regina's at Station Landing, the J Tree in Davis, and all our usual downtown spots for lunch or dinner...and I had never so much as thought to bring my favorite scruffy hippy to what he would later deem ""Heaven"".
I'm a touch of a beer snob, and so is he. I also tend to spend the bulk of my negligible income on important things like rent, vodka, flip flops and premium cable. So it is no wonder why I absolutely LOVE me some Redbones.
The beer list is extensive and always changing. The fact that the staff can keep up with the various brews and be able to help you find one--and then find it themselves on the tap tower despite all the taps being unlabeled, carved wood--is mind blowing.
And then, of course, there's the food.
The cheap, delicious, most comforting of comfort foods. The pulled pork sandwich makes me happy I stopped the whole ""I don't eat pigs cause they're as smart as dogs"" tangent I went on for a year or so. Brain capacity aside, dear Piggy, you are effing delicious when slow cooked.
I also highly, highly recommend the mac and cheese (my boyfriend said he wanted to ""put it down his pants"". That's a good thing. I swear), the RIBS, the hush puppies, the fried pickles, the buffalo scallops, the BBQ hash...
I could continue, but you get the point. You could drunkenly throw a dart at this menu to choose and would probably love what you got.
And finally, must give a particular nod to the staff. I worked service industry for so long that I feel I must acknowledge when people go above and beyond to be accommodating, interested and funny. This has consistently been the case every time at Redbones.
See ya next Saturday.
Pros: Awesome staff, cheap and delicious food
Cons: Crowded on Saturday afternoons--my fav time to go
