   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!!!!

   Cracking food, Kentucky platter with Philly Cheese stake burgers. Attentive service Reasonable price for what you get. Drinks are over priced though.

   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.

   Honestly the worst dining experience I have had. Value for money was absolutely terrible. Over £18 for a burger served on a side plate? No garnish, nothing, no chips. Chips additional £5.50 chucked in a metal tub barely even sufficient for one so definitely not enough to share. Service was appalling, asked basic questions about the menu and very vague answers given like the waitress didn’t know. Were not offered more drinks or desserts then proceeded to have a 10% service charge automatically added to the bill. £161 for 4 adults and 1 child, only main courses ordered and only soft drinks. Terrible, 100% do not bother I don’t know how they have got away with it. No wonder on 3 tables were in on mothering sunday

   Overall was disappointing. Menu is a little confusing, by comparison to other similar restaurants I have been to was quite expensive. Had to ask twice for the same drink to come and also asked for sauces when food came which never arrived. Wasn’t the worst food and wasn’t the best. Personally I won’t be going again as the price vs food was out for what you get in my opinion.

    Lovely place although quite dark settings with dim lights - wonderful polite staff and efficient service - great burgers you must sample.
