About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
Red Dog is an authentic Bar and American BAR-B-Q restaurant, serving 18-hour roast ribs, brisket, aged chuck steak burgers and much more, all best enjoyed with tasty cocktails or milkshakes.


Barbeque grew up in the South of the USA where cooks learned to slow roast cuts of meat over fire pits to make them tender. Exposure to the smoke of the smouldering wood added a distinctive smoky and juicy taste to the meat. Our award-winning smokers have been imported from the USA and are built to recreate the cooking process of those original fire pits. We use the traditional American woods of hickory and mesquite to give a full smoke flavour, and the meat stays in the smoker for up to 18 hours.

    The food is pricey enought without a 10 percent tip and not being told it's added on Ur bill is very disappointed as I would of told them to take it off we are not American and waiting staff get a full wage if people want to leave a tip that fine but you should be forced as my meal was £184 and then U charged me £20 on top for Ur staff I think it's wrong

    On this occasion, the food did not meet its usual standard. The lack of customers typically suggests that it might not be the best place to dine. Despite the high cost for our group, several menu items were unavailable, which was surprising given that we were the only ones there. Having dined here a few times before, this experience was particularly disappointing.

    Food was really nice but we paid over £130 for a platter for 3 and i think they gave us a platter for 2 and put an extra sausage on. For the money you don’t get a lot of meat which is disappointing.

    Traveled approximately 30 miles only to be told the majority of the menu wasn’t available. Ordered only to be told that wasn’t available either…… overall very disappointed. If your USP is a BBQ experience you would have thought the first priority would be to move heaven and earth to be able to provide BBQ. What we eventually had was ok but definitely not worth the cost or effort ,sorry…….

    Staff, venue, beer were excellent. Food was good, but really overpriced. Yes, it's a city centre location, yes it's a bbq joint...I get all that. But nearly £20 for a burger not much larger than McDs is excessive. Also, that's just the burger -- a small portion of fries was an additional £5. Include the fries, and £20 is fair considering. Staff were brilliant! Always about and always asking if we needed anything. I'd visit again to try other items on the menu.

    Our second time here and it wasn’t like our first time. The first Time we came we got an American ambience , country music, and a quieter environment. This time the music was louder and more upbeat chart , we were next to a loud group of 17 plus people who were being disruptive , we ordered the food sharing platter and personally it wasn’t worth £70 that we paid. We ordered extra fries and onion rings but feel this should come as part of the platter otherwise it’s not a meals worth at all. Staff however were lovely and friendly. Just feel like for us as a couple who do not go out to eat much , it was a lot of money for not a lot of food.

    The food was good but definitely not worth the money the burger itself was £20 then paying an extortionate £5.75 for A SINGULAR portion of clearly frozen fries was ridiculous, the coleslaw was good and fresh but was not worth the nearly £7 we spent for it, in my opinion the whole menu needs looking at for portion size and value for money for being the only red dog saloon in the East Midlands was really unsatisfactory and severely disappointing. The drinks were good though I’ll give them that hats off to the bar team. The service was okay but for 2 people dining and spending over £100 it was abit ridiculous. You can clearly tell it’s a male targeted restaurant which is fine but when you’re surrounded by men and can overhear that the server is more friendly with them then a quiet couple was quite disappointing to be honest (we didn’t even get told the servers name). (The lady that sat us was lovely and the gentleman that brought our food out was nice and attentive just a personal note). Also on top of all this THE SERVER ADDED A SERVICE CHARGE/ discretionary charge without telling us which in working in hospitality myself you tell the guest that that’s on there ITS NOT COMPULSORY IN THE UK and if the guest want to they CAN opt out of it, but nothing was said to us (a recurring theme in this complaint). I understand working for EXTRA tips as a BONUS to their hourly rate but we found it very disrespectful and waste of good earned money. I’m really not one to complain because I understand the hospitality sector but this whole experience was really disappointing!!!!

    Not the best BBQ place unfortunately. Very salty and spicy and not as authentic as they claim. Pricey for what we got unfortunately. The service was good and the atmosphere is nice.
