Red Heat Tavern, Bedford, MA (also in Wilmington, MA)

Have eaten here several times since my initial post and we have never been disappointed. Not destination dining but one of our favorite places within 10-15 minutes from work. Today I had the burger, which had a nice char on the outside but plenty of pink inside as requested, and upgraded my side from fries to the roasted/charred Brussels sprouts with bacon which were EXCELLENT and promptly snarfed down. My DC got veggie mac & cheese (cavatappi pasta, five cheeses, roasted red peppers, charred tomatoes, arugula & sun-dried tomato beurre blanc, topped w/ skillet cornbread crumble) – he loved it and the bite I had was delicious. Service was, as always, excellent. My DC has also had and thoroughly enjoyed the Mexican stuffed peppers (V) while I tend to explore the meatier side of the menu.
