TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR HEATED & COVERED TERRACE FOR GROUPS FROM MULTIPLE HOUSEHOLDS

Red Dog Saloon is an Austin, TX Barbecue restaurant, serving 18-hour roast ribs, brisket, aged chuck steak burgers and much more, all best enjoyed with tasty cocktails or milkshakes.
Barbecue 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 smoldering 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 flavor, and the meat stays in the smoker for up to 18 hours.

    Lack-lustre greeting from server and could tell the waitress who took our order just didn’t want to be there or cared. Considering the price of my half chicken was £16 I’d have expected something bigger than a partridge. Absolute joke. As for my partner, £15.50 for a burger and fries weren’t included. An additional £5.50 for half cut fries. Doesn’t come close to Hickory’s. Stay away from Red Dog and spend your money at Hickory’s. Better value and quantity.

    Food great as always! Long wait for the food to come out however was quite busy so understandable. Drinks took a while to be delivered to table. Ordered an item with food order and it didn't turn up, wasn't charged so no biggie. Would recommend 👍🏼

    Great service. Food was very tasty but it was not very hot upon arrival and therefore cooled down very quickly. Iced tea was delicious. Overall a good experience.

    Portion sizes were incredibly small for the price. Was not impressed with only having 3 small mozzarella sticks for £10.50 as well as the portions of everything else

    Food was decent and tasty but small portions and overpriced. Ribs and chicken meal, 2 ribs, 2 pieces of chicken and a slice of toast was £20. The same with my partners. Service charge was put on the bill without being made aware so £48 for two main meals and we left feeling hungry. Ther servers were nice and food was tasty to eat but we wouldn't return based on the above.

    Disappointed and Overpriced – Not Worth the Hype Visited Red Dog Saloon in Southampton on 18th April 2025 as a group of six BBQ lovers, genuinely excited after seeing all the great things online. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to the hype — not even close. From the moment we arrived, things got off to a rocky start. We were seated at a table (a perfectly reasonable one for six people) and then abruptly asked to move without much explanation. Fine, we didn’t make a big deal out of it, but it definitely set the tone. The real issue came when myself and a friend ordered the Oregon Platter. Priced at £70, the description had us expecting something generous, indulgent, and perfect for sharing. What we got instead? One sausage. Three ribs and other bits. For two people. Honestly, we were shocked. How can you call that a sharing platter? When we raised it with the manager, we were told it’s portioned based on weight. Sorry, but that doesn’t cut it. There’s nothing “sharing” about three ribs and a single sausage. It felt more like a tasting plate — and an expensive one at that. To make it worse, our sides of mash and beans were also forgotten. The food we did receive was cooked well, no complaints there — but the overall experience just felt like style over substance. The manager handled our feedback professionally, which we appreciated, but it doesn’t change how disappointed we were. Red Dog — we get it, running a restaurant isn’t cheap. But don’t advertise these platters as anything special when they’re actually pretty underwhelming. We left feeling let down and ripped off. Not worth the money, not worth the hype. Wouldn’t return.

    Awful. Arrived at the restaurant, we were waiting at least 15 -20 min and still hadn't had a member of staff take our drinks order. In that time we saw 2 other parties complaining and then the table and the side of us returned their food. Never in my life have we walked out of a restaurant before but we did tonight. Terrible service
