It's too bad the other reviewers gave the place 1 star when they've never been there. Not sure why a vegetarian would want to go to a place that's renowned for their burgers, anyway. The place is crowded all the time, a sign that the food is good and worth the wait. The ambiance is truly that of an old English pub or restaurant. The burgers are what the place is known for and you can build your own. RCT had my heart when they offer burnt onions as an option. Love!

....I agree about the vegetarian comments. They offer almost nil for those who choose not to eat disgusting, fatty fried foods. Detroit must have some lame foodies with this place being a up there on the "great" restaurants of Detroit!!

I just called the Red Coat Tavern to ask if they have veggie burgers since I am a vegetarian and the Red Coat had been recommended to me. The woman who answered the phone told me that they do not have veggie burgers although I could order rice. She was rude and unwilling to even pass on my request to the management telling me that not having veggie burgers has worked for 30 years and they were tired of people asking for them.
I have been to many other restaurants including chains like Red Robin and they bend over backwards to accommodate their customers (Boca or Gardenburger available). In fact, it's supposed to be all about service. Even Johnny Rockets offers Boca burger substitutions. The restaurants at Macy's also will bend over backwards to prepare meals for vegetarians.
Not so at the Red Coat. They are not interested in my business or the business of my friends who may eat burgers but will choose a restaurant that is customer-focused with options for me as well as them.
Two-thumbs down for the Red Coat. I have never before found a restaurant so unwilling and arrogant about not serving vegetarians something half-way decent. I felt disliked by the woman on the phone - for being willing to consider dining at the Red Coat! She even hung up on me. They must have so much business in this economy!

The Red Coat burger is the best in the state of Michigan. They are delicious, filling, and you can customize your burger to meet your specifications.

I don't get what is so special with their hamburgers, but a good place for a drink with friends,
