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.

    Our waitress was fantastic, attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to expectations. The Texas Trinity platter was underwhelming: the brisket was sliced too thin, lacked a bark, had an almost invisible smoke ring, and was overly fatty, indicating it was under-smoked. Some proper rub would have elevated both the brisket and ribs. The Nashville Hot chicken tenders were especially disappointing—completely lacking in flavor and spice, which was surprising given the style. They were also quite dry. Given the good things I had heard about this place, this was a letdown. Ambience was nice, but the food didn’t justify the price.

    Please note that the noise level review was at 12pm on a Thursday. Red Dog Saloon is awesome. The vibe is extremely relaxed, the interior is comfortable and the music is very theme appropriate. Our server was fantastic, and had no issue talking us through the menu items and answering any questions in a friendly and enthusiastic manner. The food itself was phenomenal, the slow smoked bbq ribs were unbelievable, the fries were crispy and seasoned perfectly, and the Red Dog Lager was crisp and refreshing. The prices here are higher than your standard lunchtime eatery, but by no means is anything overpriced. All in all, I would recommend Red Dog Saloon to anyone, and will absolutely be returning in the future.

    me and partner have been eyeing this place up for a while and finally decide to come in and we’re so happy we did! from the service to the food everything was amazing. we ordered the USS oregon platter but had the sides swapped for something else and the waitress serving us was more than happy to help accommodate to what we wanted changing. the platter was delicious and bursting with flavour!

    I dined at red dog for lunch with my friend earlier today and it was just what we needed, the food was cooked well and everything seasoned perfectly. We got two cocktails that the bartender recommended, an espresso martini and a coffee margaritas- both were lovely and nice and cold. Would definitely eat here again and will recommend to friends!
