Red Dog Saloon - Southampton

Very disappointed, bland, overcooked brisket , tasteless pork shoulder, what you pay for this food it’s hugely disappointing and some of the worsed bbq I’ve eaten, overhyped in my opinion, and not to mention our order was wrong despite not being that busy.

The burgers were nice but at that price you should get some fries and perhaps a little side salad. Service wasn’t anything special. No one asked if everything was ok. This particular restaurant just seemed badly managed. Staff having a drink behind the bar, that should be done out back. Staff also piled empty glasses up on the bar. They didn’t even empy them. These should be taken out of view. We probably won’t be going there again.

Great food and friendly staff. Did the lunch deal and couldn’t eat everything. Popcorn chicken is delicious. We had a gouie Louie and a Philly cheese and both were yummy.

Me and my boyfriend came on a very busy Saturday it seemed. We received our starters and drinks then felt like we were forgotten about. We were both trying to get out waitresses attention but wasn’t getting recognised. We had been without drinks for over 40 mins and starters had still not been cleared. Our waitress apologised kindly but overall service was poor. The music was so loud making it even louder in the restaurant than it needed to be. Disappointing evening.

Where do I start… It’s best to start at the beginning. We turned up to the restaurant with a party of 9 people, and we had booked the restaurant for 8pm. There was no table ready, and we had to wait at the end of the bar for 35 minutes before we were eventually seated. The restaurant staff positioned us at the end of the bar, where all of the dirty glasses were being left, and we all felt unwelcome. After we were seated, and we waited for our food, the orders came out very slowly, with some people’s meals coming out 10-15 minutes before other food, and then there was a mixup with some of the order. After we finished our meals, we waited a good 20+ minutes for our dirty plates to be collected, and we had to ask them to clean the plates. After the meal, and we were given the wrong food receipt and there was a massive mix up once again. There was a 15 minute wait for them to correct the wrong receipt issued to us. We paid the bill that we were issued, and left the restaurant. Next thing we know, we are walking to our cars, and one of the waiter staff, chased us down, to settle the rest of the balance, on an anonymously extra receipt. We felt like criminals, which simply was not on. In summary, our evening at Red Dog Sallon, were a 1/10, due to us being poorly attended, from start to finish.
