This place is the same Red Apple Grill that was previously at Jones/Spring Mountain for 6 years and then apparently moved a few times, once to Rainbow/Cheyenne and most recently to a gas station on Sahara and Torrey Pines. It now has a new home on Charleston at Antelope (near Rainbow) and I'm glad I came across it.
I was a big fan back in the Jones days and to have rediscovered this place is like meeting up with an old friend who you haven't seen for 10 years and picking right up where you left off.
The new restaurant is a small place with about 6 or 8 tables and is attached to the Boodles Bar. The decor is nicely appointed and seating is comfortable. John is still serving up huge portions of Chicken and Ribs, but also has a newly expanded menu that includes Sausages, Nachos and burgers.
The food is absolutely fabulous and extremely affordable. A huge meat combination plate for 2 is less than $20 and could easily feed 3 or 4. It's about the only place where they will advertise a quantity and give you extra with every plate. Terrific. Absolutely Terrific.
I love this place. It's my new favorite restaurant... again.
