Red Dog Saloon in Liverpool

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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...)

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.

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

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...

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!!!!!

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.

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

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.

Wonderful food and service from this dog friendly pub 👍🏻

Only went for a quick drink, but it was ok

Great food and atmosphere. Had a lovely visit, food tasted really good our waitress was lovely. The only down side I would say, is simply the price. Would we recommend a visit, 100% yes !

Only had cocktails here but they were excellent . Great vibe going on sat outside on a Friday evening

Food was lovely, though service could be slightly better, waited far too long for drinks order.

Nice bar/restaurant. Didn't eat. I just had a couple of cocktails. Very nice but very pricey! Friendly and welcoming

I took my boyfriend here on his birthday and we had a great time - we shared the net york platter, and it was amazing. The service for our whole meal was great, in particular one of the servers that was passing out table spotted that he had been given the wrong burger before we started (we had no way of knowing), and had it changed within minutes. We would definitely come back again!

Food was burned, tasted like charcoal

The food was amazing! Definitely recommend it just based on that. The service could be better ordered a cola never got it and they still charged me for it and only noticed after I paid. I was still sat there when I asked for this to be corrected but that becomes an issue so I left it but in fairness they did offer me a beer but we were done.

Great place really enjoyed time we had here.

It was tasty but dreadfully over priced, this was the Reuben sandwich which was £17.00. Not a lot for a hefty price tag.... I only realized later that I never received the crisps and iced tea that was meant to come with it. We also had 2 single patty burgers, 2 pints and a lime and soda and the total bill was an eye watering £89. Not one I can recommend all things considered.

10 percent service for poor performance is a disgrace.

Food is always spot on, absolute quality meat. Sometimes there can be change up in the menus, but that has no impact on the quality and taste of the food. Staff are absolutely lovely and the manager is such a friendly geniue guy, we love him and always has a chat and makes you feel welcome. Also, best mozzarella sticks in Liverpool.

The waiter was awesome. Made good recommendations and was able to answer any questions we had . The food was incredible and drinks well made too . Would recommend to anybody

We went on a Wednesday so it was pretty quiet, that’s how we like it. We started with scallops and if reviewing those alone I’d give them a 5, absolutely delicious and so meaty! They come in shells too which is a nice touch. Then we got the Oregon platter, this is where we (personally) were a little disappointed. Reason being for the price, hickory’s platter is cheaper and nicer. The service was great, all the team were really friendly and attentive. The toilets are a little unusual.. you have your own little cubicle with sink mirror etc all down a corridor for the women and at the end of the corridor is a normal gents room. I thought that was different and they were nice and clean. I would go back but I’d definitely try a burger next time. I will say it’s a little on the pricey side so wait for payday!

Good menu and presentation. However, I found the meats to not be of the best quality and the service to be on the less professional side. My opinion is slightly overpriced for what is being served.

Expensive for what you got. Staff very nice and friendly

For the price this was poor. Ordered a Double XL burger expecting to be over come with meat and was left with all that can de described as a Double Quarter Pounder from McDonalds. It was bland, too pink and not nice at all. Waited 10 minutes for cutlery. Only part of the order that was right was the Aperol Spritz. Won’t be coming here again and couldn’t get out fast enough.

Red Dog Saloon in Southampton is a fantastic place for a night out! The atmosphere is cozy and vibrant, perfect for hanging out with friends. I ordered the largest size cheeseburger, which came with fresh-cut onion, American cheese, homemade dill pickle, baby gem, and their signature Red Dog sauce. It was absolutely mouthwatering and cooked to perfection. On the side, I had the fries, which were crispy and delicious. My friends also loved their meals, and we were all impressed with the quality and taste. The service was friendly and efficient, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend Red Dog Saloon for anyone looking for great food and a good time!

We ordered the platters at £32 each which I thought was a crazy price. There was a huge amount of food. I reckon we left three quarters of it. However, it said it was served with ice tea and we didn't get any. Considering how much we left nobody checked if everything was ok or if we needed a take out box. The other people on the table had popcorn chicken and a burger. All served on tiny side plates or small buckets, no coleslaw as advertised. The staff paid us absolutely zero attention. We had one drink and had to keep getting their attention to ask for drinks. The staff just stood around chatting or were on their phones. The service was absolutely atrocious and some of the conversations the team were having were totally inappropriate. I am a restaurant manager and I was appalled at the service. I'd have been furious if they were my team . And then on top of that the service charge was added and they didn't deserve any of it at all! Such a shame it promised so much and delivered so little. I just wish the service could have been better, or even mediocre, but it was just so, so bad.

Lovely food and staff, it just loses a point as they don't serve Root Beer.

The Philly cheese steak and the Cuban where giant and delicious 🤤 Quite pricy though

Delicious! We got the New York platter for 2 which was so tasty, massive portions so took the rest back home for dinner 😋friendly staff and delicious iced tea - we will be back 😊

We made a booking and travelled over an hour get there, just to be told that there was no bbq meat being served, bearing in mind their main selling point is ‘Texas BBQ’, we still ordered a burger each and a few side, but the service itself was terrible and they brought out the wrong sides or the wrong amount of sides multiple times. Very disappointing considering the travelling we did for this specific restaurant and the way the restaurant is structured itself in terms of how it is run is quite frankly embarrassing. After this experience we got 20% off and a back handed apology.

Disappointed Instagram made this place look amazing and it was rubbish, overpriced food, no flavour, greasy, food cooked from frozen, food came out at different times. I can cook better than this

Overpriced and nothing special. 5.50 for a portion of fries. Ordered a Cuban sandwich which was a fatal mistake. Plastic cheese and turkey ham. I imagine it would be appealing. If you were in prison. Not saying don't try this place. Menu sounds great. Food is bang average and you'll definitely need to go the toilet straight after. Moral of the story Don't go a burger joint and order a sandwich.

Found this restaurant while walking around Liverpool, and I'm happy we did. The food is so good here. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. The portions are really big but worth it. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Food was amazing and live music made a great atmosphere 👌

Food was pretty good but I found it quite expensive. Staff were very friendly.

Great food and atmosphere - almost tooo much

As we went in it was very quiet as expected on a Wednesday evening. We ordered food and drinks, which the drinks took over 10 minutes to come but no problem happy to look past that. Ordered a sharing platter and as it came out without any cutlery the waiter just walked away without saying anything to fetch our third dish. Okay, that’s fine. Then took a few minutes to bring the third dish without the side of fries, seemingly as he didn’t know there was meant to be any. Still no plates or cutlery. So we had to ask again which took at least 5 minutes to bring fries and cutlery for some reason 😂 Overall the service was incredibly poor and very slow. The food was not bad but quite cold on arrival and more so after waiting on the table for 5 minutes without any cutlery. Not a person to typically complain about food but it was quite obvious it had been sat waiting for the staff to come and bring it over. Extremely overpriced, then charged a discretionary service charge on top for a table of 3. Won’t be going back again thats for sure.

We both had a philly cheese burger best burger we've had and a lovely waiter definitely will be back

Had the New York Platter. Brisket and mac and cheese were my favourite. My partner loved the philly cheeseburger. Chicken tenders are huge and very tasty.

The best burgers I've eaten for a long while, service friendly and excellent, however the prices were ridiculously expensive. £5.50 for a very small cup of fries, they're extra and don't come with the burger, £4.75 for a coke which was mostly ice, worst of all, for me, no coffee, the machine was broken. as good as the burger was l certainly would never visit again.

Great service and amazing food,me and the wife loved it!

We absolutely love this dog friendly restaurant, staff are friendly and kind, food is delicious although not many vegan or veggie options but we will definitely be back x

I mostly went to taste the best beers. My favorite place in Liverpool.

UNREAL FOOD! It set my boyfriend off in a coma it was that tasty!!!!!!!!

Not sure why anybody is moaning about this place. Our food arrived quickly, hot and absolutely delicious. The children's meals are very big portions! We could have split one between our two children really. The staff were lovely and attentive, we ordered some wings that were spicy (without knowing) and they were more than happy to change them for us despite it being what we ordered. I would say, alot of the food/meat was quite spicy for me.. but I don't even like pepper 🤷‍♀️ They even offer a free pudding if you ask about their pudding trolley. Lovely atmosphere (we came before 8.30pk which is when the music starts I think) Will definitely return!

This was our first visit and I must say the food was delicious 🤤 the staff are friendly and very helpful. Next time we're in Liverpool we'll definitely be revisiting.

Big burgers big appetite .. Food was very tasty

Do not leave Liverpool without eating here. I've been back several times, with groups, and everyone agrees that they have the best food ever. Staff are always a pleasure to deal with.

Being a chef im not easy to impress. But after eating the hickory burger i can easily and happily say this was the best burger I’ve ever eaten each bite bursting with so much flavour if i could give it a higher rating i would. 10/10 best food in liverpool

Been before and that was good. but this time was different. They Wouldn't cut the huge burger in half after we asked. (They do and did last time) Got given a different drink to what we asked for. The kids food was rubbish. Won't be returning again unfortunately.

The quality of the food has gone down a lot and the prices have gone up, I went there a year ago and with £30 we ate 2 people. We returned 1 week ago and spent £80 on 2 hamburgers, 1 croquettes and 1 chicken popper plus a beer and a soft drink

The food was great, really tasty and I couldn't really fault it it's just not very good value. Charging over £20 just for a burger with no sides is a bit much, very few places do this and then an extra £5.50 for what is essentially 1 potato worth of fries it's way too expensive in my opinion. You can get great burgers in a lot of places, there is a lot of competition and maybe this was shown by how empty the place was at peak lunch time. Service was also pretty good I just think this place needs to have a think about its pricing, if the price of the burger included fries it would be much more appealing. As it is it just feels like a rip off.

First time eating at an authentic American bbq joint and it did not disappoint, in fact if anything was disappointing it was that my friend and I went there having eaten breakfast earlier that day and were not able to sample more food. I had beef brisket, my friend pork rib. Outrageous flavour and bark on the brisket, love the hot pickled sauce, incredible tang. Really nice range of cocktails too. A special shout out to our server who told us his wish was for Arsenal to win the league, much appreciated.

Food was decent, but we waited ages to be served. Staff kept walking past us and didn't even offer us a drink until they came to take our food order 20 mins. The staff were not interested in the customers but spent a lot of time with their friends when they came in. Customer service was not a priority.

My own experience today at the restaurant. I wasn’t pleased with the service and food . It’s was overpriced the BBQ sauce didn’t like the taste of it tasted watery. BBQ Rib had no taste. I was disappointed with the texture and everything in really disappointed with the food today . After how much I paid for the meal today and the drinks tasted flat .

Food was good was a little quiet for a Friday night when we visited but overall was a nice evening meal and the service was on point

I had the Blue Plate £18.75 The Chicken - Good The Collard Greens - Good The Beans (a bit too salty) The sweet tea wasn’t served so I had to ask for it (meh… I think they should offer options or possibly use bottled Lipton ice tea or change the recipe) The peppercorn sauce wasn’t served The coleslaw wasn’t served The pickles wasn’t served The ranch wasn’t served So maybe they need to assess if they want to serve people everything they put on the menu or if they’d rather not 🙃

To start we waited over 45 mins for our food and it wasn't busy. The food was rediculously over priced. The mash with burnt ends was disgusting, the mash was drowning in what tasted like watered down bisto (however this was knocked off the bill, so can't fault them for that). The mac and cheese tasted like a packet mix with some bacon on top. My partner ordered a burger that cost 23 quid and it came with no fries or sides, he didn't mind it but wouldn't order it again. I ordered the ruben, the meat was dry like it had been sitting under a heat lamp and the sandwich itself was falling apart from how much dressing was on it. On a positive note the staff were very nice and the venue is dog friendly which is a bonus. But I don't think we'd come back purely due to pricing and the quality of the food itself.

Great burgers, by choosing the size you can make it single, double or even triple. Upon arriving we were asked to wait having a drink at the bar, we waited over 10 minutes at the bar to get service as they were busy washing dishes and getting orders out; paying no attention to guests at the bar. Thus lower service rating.

Ordered the double Gooey Louie burger and single Cheeseburger, as well as fries and slaw and all was amazing! The burgers were the perfect melt in your mouth delight, the fries had a nice sweet flavour and the slaw was incredibly creamy. Friendly and attentive staff, however lack of a uniform made it hard to distinguish them. Will definitely visit again if ever back in Liverpool.

Friendly service by Hungarian waitress, Emeshe. Delicious food.

Very tasty food. Great BBQ! Was enthusiastic. The restaurant is beautifully designed.

Nice burgers and fries but very pricey

Food is way overpriced. 2 mediocre Hotdogs for £18 and fries I had to get separate. My partner ordered a sandwich that came in a cheap Burger bun. It was not a burger. Staff not in a uniform so major casual for the prices we were paying.

The hot wing challenge is brutal. Everything else is great - try the burgers, they are massive.

We had an absolutely delicious meal for my boyfriend’s birthday! The New York platter was massive portions and all of the food was super fresh and tasty - we couldn’t finish it all! The milkshakes were also superb and the staff were superb and really helpful!
