Red Dog Saloon in Liverpool

The food was very good especially the juicy pork ribs, the chicken a bit dry. But you definitely have to try the Mac & cheers by NOTE 10

Excellent service and a good pint

Food was gorj and the waiter was so much fun! We loved her

The place was clean and cool looking. The food looked the part, smaller than expected but massively lacked on flavour. The pattys tasted unseasoned and it was all just pure grease. You couldnt differentiate between the meats in the burger.

Great food. Burgers are amazing

The food was unreal the waitress was nice and nothing was to much trouble for here. A bit on the expensive side but you do get what you pay for. The portion size was good. Food arrived quickly and was lovely

Food amazing! We had New Yorker platter would definitely recommend. Served by Anna was lovely and made the experience very enjoyable.

Over priced average food went on a whim, and definitely wouldn’t go again. Literally go anywhere else. You will pay a fortune for dry food

Friendly staff, quick service. Great atmosphere and lovely food.

Very disappointed. Originally booked for 5:30pm was emailed to re-scheduled to 6pm due filming commitments. Waited outside in the cold for 15 minutes only to be turned away, never experienced anything like this before, about 5 other parties had the same experience. Did not pick up the phone when I tried to call, very let down.

Were not open tonight even though we booked

We had high expectation and sadly we were ver disappointed. We went for lunch during the week at 1.45pm there were only 3-4 tables. We were felt like why are you here,no one smiled and service was very poor and food was just about average,Wouldnt recommend

I ordered two platters. Each platter is for two people. Four adults and one child would not be able to eat enough and had to be packed away. It doesn't taste bad, but it doesn't bite. Anyway, it's meat. The side dishes include potato puree and bean paste. Personally, I think the bean paste is quite delicious. The chocolate milkshake is just ordinary. If the price is not high, it’s OK to buy it once for a long time.

The food was not what I hoped 4 the ribs were cold and dry and no flavour and they tasted like they are a few hours old the beans looked like they came out of a baby bottom and that’s my professional matters not a joking matter a barbecue restaurant is supposed to show its potential in its food and must come out hot and tasty and just been made not come out like it has no taste and looks like it was made by a toddler with no talent and the price is absolutely insane just under 100 pound with drinks

Booked here based on an Instagram recommendation and didn't regret it. Delicious burgers and great service from Anna who went above and beyond to check with the chef about different dietary requirements.

Booked for an early-ish dinner before heading out to an event. The first person who greeted us took our names, couldn't find it but clearly went to get someone else who I guess wasn't having the best day. He came up to us and said "you've got 90 minutes" Hello to you too, I guess. He stomps off, not really even pausing so we could follow and slapped the menus down and left before we were even seated. The lady taking our orders was lovely, but the person who came out with our food plonked them onto the table and didn't even ask who had what and glared at us when we redistributed the plates to the right person. I found mine was over salted, my partner's was fine. However at almost every contact with the staff it felt like they were trying to rush us out the door.

Food was amazing as well as the service our waitress was very attentive and couldn't do enough for us even went and asked the boss about one of the whiskeys I was interested in they have a good selection of drinks including whiskeys food portions where great and lots of flavours and we are already planing our next visit with friends as they was amazed at our pictures staff was very friendly and welcoming 10 out of 10 for us and will be seeing you again soon

Amazing food and friendly staff

We went to red dog saloon on Saturday night , we had to wait for our table even though we booked . It was busy and hardly no staff , I don’t think I seen one staff member smile . We was sat at the bar trying to order drinks and we was ignored . Then when we went to our table we then had to wait around 25 mins to even be served ! Tables around us was complaining over food being cold etc , forgetting food asking us do we want any sauces then not bringing any . Our food came was hardly hot , forgot our sides had to wait for them and then I asked for more ranch , by time I ate my food it still didn’t come and then proceeded to still get charged it on my bill . I wouldn’t come here again , the Instagram looks nothing compared to what I had . 3 chicken strips for £16.50 is horrendous.

Beautiful space, but the experience fell short I had high expectations for this spot because of its stunning aesthetic—it’s clear they’ve put a lot of thought into creating a visually pleasing atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite match the vibe. It was average at best, and for the price, I was hoping for more flavor and creativity. Service was a mixed bag. One of the male employees was attentive and welcoming, but the woman who served us seemed indifferent and disengaged, which put a damper on the experience. I don’t expect over-the-top friendliness, but basic attentiveness and care go a long way. All in all, it’s a great place for photos and ambiance, but if they want customers to return, they need to elevate both their food and service to match their aesthetic. Total spend: +£100 Overall rating: 6.8

Visited before the theatre. The food was a solid 4/5 but certainly on the pricy side. Similar to hickory prices, but not quite as good. Was also surprised that fries are not included with £20 burgers, mad one. The service was good, didn't wait too long, and always with a smile. I would have rated it 3.5 if I could have. The atmosphere was dull, but there was only 3 tables in @ 17.30 which is a shame, because it's nice inside

Underwhelming Ribs and chicken. Chips were nice. My wife and son said the burgers were good.

The place was really nice, big and cosy, friendly staff as Liverpool always have the friendliest people, big portions and really tasty american food, i got a Philly cheesesteak burger as i always wanted to try one and the fries were insane loaded to the max. Definitely coming back to try more plates.

Amazing experience, food was fantastic great atmosphere, friendly staff, definitely recommend a visit thank you. DDX

I got food poisoning after eating there. Was vomiting in the middle of the night. My first ever food poisoning in the UK ever.

Me and my girlfriend both had the chicken and waffles, which we pretty much aways order if we see it on a menu. This one was unfortunately not up to par. The main issue is they used bone-in chicken, which would be fine if there were perhaps another piece or two, but we got two small pieces one of which was a leg - so mostly bone. And for close to £20 I'd expect more. The ratio of chicken to waffle was completely wrong, bone in chicken is a nightmare to dismantle with a knife and fork and when they offer tenders on the same menu it's just a bit perplexing. The chicken was good admittedly, not quite Nashvile hot - I'd ordered extra spicy and didn't find it too spicy at all; a bit disappointing. There's no sub for the hot honey either so if you can't cope with the heat you're shit out of luck I guess. No sweet aspect to the meal. The whipped butter was alright, just a big scoop on the waffle. Would have been better as a cinnamon butter but butter is butter. The sides were okay. My creamed corn was more creamed than corn and the chips were alright but had a bit of an after taste. Maybe steer clear of the chicken and waffles? Overall disappointing for the price. Luckily we didn't order starters otherwise it would have been over £100 for the meal. Staff were lovely no complaints there.

We went to The Red Dog Saloon yesterday for the first time for our friend's birthday meal. Unfortunately most of us were disappointed with our food. It was pretty bland, and VERY overpriced. My husband and I had one of the platters which are £34.50 per person. It was a decent amount of food, but no where near worth this amount of money. We had the sausage sampler for starters which was £10.50 for 3 bits of sausage. Be aware that the burger prices advertised do not include any sides, so chips etc are £5+ more. The girl who served us was friendly and helpful, but the service was pretty slow especially between starters and mains. Overall an expensive and underwhelming experience. Really disappointing especially given that the birthday boy had looked forward to visiting for ages.

All good, none of us could get the Grilled Oysters though. They accommodated a large group really well, 20 of us. Food and service were excellent (you obv have to like American style barbecue). Staff and service was the best part, quick, friendly and attentive.

The fayre was as expected, but not as good as I’d hoped. The burger I had was very tasty, but 3 members of our party had platters, which sounded good. However when the platter actually arrived, we were underwhelmed to say the least. It was not worth the £100+ that it cost by a long shot. It looked like a platter for 2, sure. But it seemed like they brought out a platter for 2, and charged for 3. Othwrwise, the ribs and the burgers were very good, the mac and cheese was ok. The platter (for 3) was definitely not value for money, although it was delicious. What really made the evening was the care by our server. She was attentive and cheerful. And the drinks were great. Frost glasses and wonderful margaritas! We even had a dessert brought out for our birthday boy! All in all, I would go again, but wouldn’t get the platters, as it definitely didn’t even fill up the men at the table.

We went here on the weekend by default as we wanted to try Mowglis, but it was fully booked. We ordered the kansas sharing platter £35 a head. You got to choose two burgers, which were the saving grace of the platter. The prime beef rib was tough and dry. The brisket looked like something you might recycle after eating the beef rib. Wings were half decent. Sausage was good, but it's hard to get a sausage wrong. The mash was flavourless. Now I'm not sure if it was the fried bread that was cooked in some sort of fish oil, or the pickles that had some sort of fish flavouring, but after making a sausages and pickle dog out of the toast it put me off the rest of the food as alls I coukd taste was pungent fish. And the £42 bottle of malbec, well let's say if had better £4 bottles of malbec from aldi. I'd but this on par with brewski, looks the real deal, but taste and value for money just isn't there.

Currently eating my delicious double XL Cronos burger and I noticed two AMAZING waitresses and one bar staff working at lightning speed taking on the ENTIRE first floor! It’s a full house!! The best thing is they’re keeping everybody really really happy! I don’t know what they’re paid but they certainly deserve a raise.

This is hands down my favorite restaurant in town! The food is always incredible, from the smoky BBQ flavors to the indulgent sides—everything is cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is vibrant and the staff are so friendly and attentive. Whether it’s brunch or dinner, this place never disappoints. I always leave happy and already planning my next visit. A must-visit for anyone in Liverpool!

Same as the RedDog saloon in London was super happy with the food. Had a quick lunch with a friend. The brisket burger and mac n cheese were awesome. All topped with a reddog lager they have. Another 5 of 5 stars.

THOSE BURNT END NUGGETS ARE SUBLIME the sauce is to die for! I will come back specifically for that sauce I hope they never ever change the recipe :)

This place was amazing...the service was quick and food was well priced. All were attentive and had a good knowledge of what they were serving. Two of our group for the booking have allergies yet we were well taken care of by the staff to ensure there would be no danger of any allergic reactions. Will deffo be coming again

Burgers from here are brilliant. Been coming here for years and the quality has remained

Even as a vegetarian, this place is incredible. Decent veggie options, decent drinks and the service is spot on. We’ll be back 💯!!

Bought a "sharing platter" little to my knowledge, I was told when we organised to split the bill that both me and my friend would pay DOUBLE the price, because two people where having it which doesn' make any sense. Shouldn't be labelled as a sharing platter if you're going to charge full cost per person who eats it - false advertistement and just utter robery

Very overpriced and overrated paid £34.50 for a platter didn’t eat half of it not as good as I expected couldn’t fault the service though

Food was nice and service was good but it's so expensive for what it is. You don't get any sides with the burgers so have to pay extra for them and it's £5.50 for a tiny cup of fries. Was shocked at how much the bill was when it came.

Had the loveliest meal ever! I’ve been thinking about those burnt end nuggets ever since. The best part was our wonderfully speedy, attentive and kind waitress, Anna. Thanks Red dog!

Simply the best burgers you'll ever have. If you don't go then your missing out

Had the best burger I've ever eaten and that's saying alot. Service spot on and people really nice there. Will definitely be going back without a shadow of a doubt . Thanks

Nice staff and service. But the food is average and the value for money is bad. The trinity for £24.50 was really poor value, one rib,1 toast, 3 small slices of brisket and sausage, and no fries. The burger was decent, but again £21 without fries was way too expensive.

The food was ok, nothing special. Promised much more than it delivered

Great American themed restaurant with absolutely excellent food. Had a sharing platter and all the meats provided were delicious, particularly the brisket. Extremely generous portions can't wait to visit again!

Nice to have something a little different. Great food and great company.

Forgot my chips and took 25 minutes to bring my drinks at which point I was dehydrated then brought it as I finish, food was lovely though

Everything was perfect, dog friendly - brought water and some chicken for the dog, servers were so lovely and food was perfect. The ONLY reason I gave the food 4 stars instead of 5 is because half of the menu wasn’t available but that was due to a gas leak. Very much worth it!

Not usually one to leave reviews but was really impressed with red dog Liverpool. Seated quickly upon arrival. We asked our waiter what he would recommend and my wife went with his recommendation. Food arrived in minutes and was truly amazing (and well priced). The same waiter was attentive and made sure the drinks kept flowing. Let him know when we came to settle the bill how much he impressed us with both his service and recommendations. Already booked to go again with friends over the festive period

I’ve never felt so unwelcome and rushed at a restaurant in my life. From the moment we walked in, the front-of-house staff made it clear we weren’t a priority. The lady at the door couldn’t have cared less and left us with a sour taste before we even sat down. We were placed right by the entrance, at a table that hadn’t even been wiped down after the previous diners left. This meal was supposed to be a Christmas gift I’d been looking forward to all year, but instead, it’s now a bitter memory. Our server made things worse by rushing us through the meal. He barely waited for us to answer his questions before walking away and made it obvious he wanted us out as quickly as possible. While the food itself was good, the experience was completely ruined by the inattentive and dismissive service. I won’t be returning to Red Dog Saloon in Liverpool, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else either.

if i could give 0 stars i would. Ordered through deliveroo. missing sides and found a bone in my sandwich. phoned restaurant and sll i got was yeah that can happen from the Assistant manager... wow just wow. shocked! been a customer for years but wont ever be going back

Was disappointed as had to pay an extra £5 for a side of chips which were tiny and for the burger, was okay but very pricey for the size, not exciting

Really enjoyed my visit to the Red Dog. Visited whilst working up Liverpool so it was early in the week. Place wasn't to busy. Staff were great and the food was lovely. Highly recommended.

Food was amazing little pricey for the location but good vibe and lovely staff

Got put in a dark area upstairs, couldn't see the menu properly, nice young lady served us though, thought it was a little pricey for what we got

The selection of food is great however the value has dropped the price of food to their size of meals has definitely dropped in the past few years.

Food was nice, prices are a joke and portion sizes way too small. Spent £95 for two of us, left still feeling very hungry.

5 stars all round. Food is amazing. The service was good.

my nephew who has just moves to Liverpool Uni wanted to show me around his haunts. He mentioned he wanted to try this restaurant, so we did. Food was very good but the sharing platter was deceiving as the price was unclear whether the dish was per person or for the platter

Great place all round, our food was excellent

Really disappointed with the food everything was so salty and over-seasoned. Asked for the burger to be pink it was overcooked Think we both ate 4 mouthfuls and that’s it. Waitress asked us why we hadn’t eaten we explained and all she did for us was tell the kitchen staff no discount applied and we paid over 100 pound. I’m really looking for a refund to be honest as we didn’t eat anything was so shocking and disappointed after being advised to try here from a friend.

To much salt on the food and really greasy where i felt sick all the next day , we only eat bits of the food because things didn't taste right. Smoke brisket taste like smoke fish , for £110 the is well better food in Liverpool town for your money, well better , I wouldn't be recommending this place to anyone

Went to the red dog saloon on Friday night with my partner -we were seated quickly but waited quite a while for both drinks and someone to take our order. we decided on the USS Oregon at £34.50 ( we were later told that is was a sharing platter and it was £34.50 each ) it had Brisket, st.louis cut pork ribs, buffalo wings, hot links, hickory pork shoulder, peach bourbon bbq, pit beans and mash, we changed the sides but as a first visit was excited to try the food - it looked nice but honestly for £80 we were disappointed - the food was nice but as nice as you would get in any takeout place, we walked back to the hotel very disappointed, also we payed cash and the lady that served us didnt even bother to try and give us our change, it wasn't much but we thought it was cheeky. will not go back

Food is absolutely delicious. Had burgers, brisket sandwhich, meat platter, all cooked perfectly.

Had a sharing platter so much food couldn't eat it all absolutely loved it highly recommended

Just had a couple of wines in here but food did look half decent, thought the choice of wine could have been better for the price 2x 175ml £15 but not a lot to choose from and bar staff not the knowledgeable on wine possibly, but nice atmosphere and possibly would go again

Disappointing Anniversary Meal We had high hopes for our 10th-anniversary dinner at this smokehouse, but sadly, it missed the mark. Despite the promising menu, the experience fell flat in several areas. Starting with the positives, the beer was served in frozen glasses—a nice touch—though one glass had an odd fishy smell. The fries (once they eventually arrived) and chicken wings were decent, but that’s where the compliments end. Many beers and wines on the menu were unavailable, including our top choices, which set a disappointing tone from the start. Later we heard the staff telling just arrived customers that they were low on BBQ, this was at 7.30 on a Monday night. Our “platter for two” was both small and unremarkable for the cost. The brisket and ribs were overly fatty and heavy, lacking the smoky flavor and ring we expected. The pit beans had no texture, just a spicy, mushy consistency without any chunks of burnt ends or anything. Hot links tasted like canned hot dogs, and the mash was watery, resembling instant mash with bisto gravy powder rather than fresh sides. The burnt Texas toast was flipped over to hide the scorch marks—a rather telling detail. Service was inattentive, and we had difficulty getting staff’s attention even for basics. When we brought up our concerns at the end, they were dismissed with little interest, adding to our disappointment. Overall, the decor was more generic saloon than smokehouse-inspired, giving the place a chain restaurant feel. Unfortunately, this was far from the special meal we’d hoped for. We won’t be back.

The online menu was different from the in store. They had got rid of nearly all hot dog options and we only found out once we sat down.

Went here looking for the best authentic American Food and I was not disappointed! I got the Cronos: Titan ruler of the universe XL and it was incredible. I eat a large amount and even I struggled eating the single XL and I could have got the double. All the meats in there were excellent quality and tasted like an Authentic American BBQ restaurant. Also got the chips which were incredible, can't fault the food at all! one thing which was slightly disappointing was the service, to be fair to them, I did go as soon as they opened but I don't believe thats an excuse to be slow with drinks and slow to take my order but the food 100% made up for that. The waiters were polite and had no issues on that end just bit slow. As you can expect, as soon as they open is not the time to go to get a good atmosphere! It was empty and no music until about half an hour after I arrived but I can completely understand the fact it was empty but not the music but wasn't a big deal. If your going for the atmosphere, go later on as it picks up then but early lunch its quite dead. Was excellent overall and would 100% recommend if you want a big, proper American meal

Liverpool branch of a chain that serves ATX style barbeque. Starting with the good, the brisket was good. The pork and beef ribs didn't come out of a smoker and tasted like they were reheated, with the beef rib a tad too burnt. The links were okay, not very spicy. The sides were okay.

The pictures were better on the spot. I am disappointed.

Food was amazing, we had a lovely meal with great service

This is very DISAPPOINTING. Horrible service !!! Ordered and ended up waiting 2 hour and a half!!!! Not once they’ve answered their phone before closing. Waited for more than a hour and a half. A complete waste of my time. Don’t order.

FOOD TOOK TOO LONG! We have waited for more then 2 HOURS AND 30 minutes for our order. It’s an absolute joke. We had to cancel our order and to make it worst, by 11:30 when I decided to cancel the order all the restaurants were closed. Very very disappointed in this place. Never ordering again. A waste of time!

Will not be returning. I cannot fault the waiting staff, they were friendly and satisfactory. But service was small, only around 7 tables in attendance. Yet we waited close to an hour for our food. Our fries came out 10 minutes after our burgers and waited another 5 for our sauces. The dishes are individually ordered and don’t come as meals. So two burgers (1 double and 1 triple) , two fries , a portion of chicken bites and two cokes came out at £80 full price. Way too overpriced for what we got as a couple. The Aesthetic does not match the vibe of this place. An all American smokehouse vibe blasting rap and house music we couldn’t hear ourselves talking. The clientele was also abysmal. Heard a drug dealer talking to his punters on the phone when he was dropping off his stuff on one table. Had a gang of 10 fellas walking in together wearing their classic north face attire uniform stinking of weed on another table. Another table of fellas stumbling out their booth drunk while two of them took a questionably long trip into the toilets walking in wobbling and walking out full of energy wiping their noses. Maybe that’s not the restaurants fault of course. But this place caters for families, hence… children. And allowing in people who are bladdered, still serving them drinks and letting in people stinking of weed into a restaurant charging for premium service shouldn’t be happening. Not bothered what people get up to in their own time. But don’t allow it in your restaurant when there’s families and couples having a meal. If that’s who you want to let in, then you’ll have the riff raff staying in and decent people walking out. It’s an American style smokehouse not a sports bar

Food was poor to average and overpriced for what you get. Ordered the teriyaki beef burger which was about 60% caramelised onions so you can barely taste anything else. Had burnt end mash which was more like potato soup. Mozzarella sticks were massive! But tasteless. Maybe it was a bad night for me. Maybe for them. I wouldn't rush back.

I'm sorry, but I didn't like it at all. The service was very slow, and above all the portions are really small if you consider how much they charge (18 pounds for a hot dog, but please...)

Had a New York(i think) platter for 2 between me and my sister. Cheese burger was delicious, brisket was lovely, chicken stripes juicy, creamy corn - never tried ir before, but it was surprisingly good. Delicious food, great food service, relaxing atmosphere.

Quite evening. Already had a full English brekkie and burrito for lunch! So this went down a treat!

Perfect birthday burger. Just what I wanted

My partner and I LOVE the food here - we’re obsessed with the brisket and the beans. I must knock a star off for service, however. The first time we came was perfect. But last time we came here, we waited 30 mins for a table (we booked in and turned up on time). Albeit it was a Saturday evening and looked like they were understaffed. Staff were walking past us but we were not being acknowledged for a good 15 mins. I was seeing if I could get someone’s attention, but I’m pretty sure one of the servers gave me a discrete middle finger as she was walking by!! There was also loud live music which is understandable for a Saturday evening on bold street but we intended to be able to talk to each other over dinner. So might not be the best place to catch up on a weekend evening.

Not the best, pretty standard really

Outstanding service excellent Authentic texas bbq Staff were fantastic too 👏

Really good burger and chicken here. We had Cronus burger. If you like a burger with lots of stuff inside this is a must have. Staff were friendly. Toilets were clean

Staff were very friendly and service was really good, food was very greasy. Average food for the price though.

I recently visited Red Dog Saloon in Liverpool and had an amazing experience! We ordered the New York Platter for 3, and it did not disappoint. The platter came with creamy mac and cheese that was perfectly rich and indulgent, pit beans with a slight kick that added a nice touch of heat, and a brisket that was incredibly juicy and tender—it literally fell apart. The pulled pork was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and the chicken tenders were huge and succulent. Every item was cooked to perfection. Honestly, the brisket here is even better than Hickory's. If you're craving authentic and hearty BBQ, Red Dog Saloon is the place to go!

Very nice time x Great service and even better food! Loved the cowboy vibes. Definitley one of the best burgers in liverpool!!!

Don't usually write reviews, but would avoid this place. Misleading menu, overpriced and low quality meat for a so called grill restaurant. Food was also poorly cooked and tasteless

Been a couple of times always great food and atmosphere. Staff always very friendly and good beers.

2nd time going to this burger joint and both times was absolutely blown away. Delicious burgers and great atmosphere make it a must visit for me when im in Liverpool. Most recent visit was on 17th of august and the 2 staff members we interacted with stood out as exceptional. Mollie our server and Usma on the bar. Both were really friendly and chatty immediately giving me banter and sass. It was great. It pushed a great visit into a fantastic one. Also the live music was super classy, paired with a glass of whiskey I felt very much like a cowboy that evening.

Didn't live up to expectations unfortunately, so slightly disappointed, food was cooked lovely, service was good but very deceiving from the pictures you see online to what you actually get and it's alot of money for what you actually get compared to other places serving same style of food! Bit gutted...

Amazing options and quick service. Wasn't very busy however but don't know why it was great!

We visit early evening on Sunday was quite. The food was very good, service really fast, friendly staff. I loved the mozzarella sticksss!!!!!!The atmosphere was very American!!!!!

What can I say excellent from when we walked in staff very friendly great service and the burgers we had just wow

Great visit and lovely experience at Red Dog. Thank you to Emese who looked after us, she was brilliant and very helpful & made our visit extra special. Food spot on! Will definitely be returning.

Food is top tier the burgers are juicy and tender and tasty should defo check it out. I’ve been multiple times I had to recommend

Was the best meal I had while in Liverpool. Great live music, excellent ribs!

Went with 13 other friends on a day out. Was worried with some recent reviews, but I really enjoyed it. We were seated quickly to private area on the first floor, we were served with drinks quickly and the staff took our orders on time. Ended up ordering the USS kentucky, which is a platter, but it's got a minimum 2-person order. It was amazing. It reminded me of food when I go to America. It's enough to feed 2, so if you go with friends, maybe share amongst each other as there really is so much food and weren't able to finish it all off. It was tip quality food. For the 2 person platter, 6 drinks, it came to £100, including a tip. It you shared it between 4 people, it would be amazing quality for the price.

Beautiful burgers, but they have the best french fries in Liverpool.
