Probably the worst meal I have attempted to eat. The Nashville hot chicken somehow tasted like stale fish, was incredibly salty, appeared grey inside (potentially undercooked, time will tell) and so so oily. Salad was swimming in a creamy dressing and looked more like soup than a salad. This defeated the object of having a side salad. The ‘ice cold salad’ was packaged in the box next to the formally warm chicken and beef. Rendering both horribly lukewarm. The Juicy Lucy burger was horrendous. My husband had a bite and was genuinely confused as to what I had ordered. The brisket was tough and incredibly greasy (indicating brisket was not the cut of meat used) and the hot links sausage lacked any flavour other than salt. This came topped with an entire tub of coleslaw and a disgusting vinegar mustard sauce which made the roll wet. The roll didn’t stand a chance with all of the wet ingredients thrown into it. Over all this meal was inedible and left us feeling unwell from the small amount we consumed. The fries were ok. This was a Deliveroo order therefore we cannot comment on the restaurant service. For a restaurant we ate at a few times over the years we will now avoid at all costs. Eventually Deliveroo decided to refund us for everything except the fries. We pushed for a refund especially as this is not a cheap restaurant to eat at. Costing £46 for 2 burger meals that I wouldn’t feed to a dog.

Terrible restaurant. Poor service, rat visited our table , waiter did not bring bill for 20 minutes after we asked for it and then someone came running out to ask if we had paid. Will never go there again, very disappointed.

We had a BuyaGift voucher for lunch for two, only went yesterday. The very best BBQ food and awesome milk shakes. We cannot rate the food highly enough, burgers, brisket, buffalo wings and scallops were all cooked to perfection. Malted milk shakes were amazing. Food and drink servers were top guys, friendly, helpful and courteous. Booked a table for 1pm, place was quiet, but this did not detract from the service, food presentation, quality or speed of service. Will definitely go back again, and can recommend to anyone, especially carnivores.... :-)

Was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. A very rude waitress and a manger. Completely unacceptable, never experienced anything like it in all years of eating out.

This was my second time here and it was so much better this time. The first time was on a busy Saturday night, this time on a quiet Sunday evening and the food was top class, the burgers were so big, each one could have fed a small village, and the chicken tenders were absolutely huge and unbelievably tender. Really good food this time around.

First time visit, and we shared a platter for 2, well portions are huge and we weren't expecting quite so much. Even 2 people could quite happily share a platter for one. Food wasn't the hottest and got cold very quick. Also realised once we had left that we didn't receive the sweet tea that comes with the platter, the desert trolley didn't even cross our minds because of the quantity of food. Staff were attentive to take orders, but service definitely slowed down after that, plate clearing and getting the bill took ages. Not sure I'd return, but husband seems more keen 😂

Great food as always though service was pretty slow and they only had three tables to deal with which was odd. Didn't detract from the meal though. Had the iced tea lunchtime off which comes with essentially a bucket of Iced tea. I'm not a fan but it still made the meal good value.

Visited as apart of a Southampton food exploration project…this had all the potential to be amazing but unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be. We came all the down from Cotswolds. 1. Extremely poor service, we were often just forgotten about 2. Took 45 mins for drinks to come followed by starters. Starters went cold as we had no cutlery and eventually had to chase down a member of staff twice 3. Took ages for our empty plates to be cleared 4. Mains came out in parts with long gaps so food wasn’t together which meant some were eating and some weren’t. 5. Ask three times for the dips in the end just gave up 6. Asked for another round of drinks which never showed up 7. Staff didn’t know table numbers and seemed completely confused 8. No clear sign of management 9. All the other tables around us were saying the same thing, shocking service, forgotten about, missing items etc 10. Had to audacity to add service charge to the bill which was swiftly removed The food was good, expensive but it tasted great. However the rest of the experience ruined the experience unfortunately. Especially as the bills was £115 for two of us.

Good BBQ is hard to find, and we found it. We came here a few years ago and it was really poor, was convinced to come back for a friends birthday and it’s really turned around. We shared two different trays between four and we couldn’t finish it. £200 with drinks wasn’t too bad for some great food and sides ( not in the photo) Nobody’s perfect but I won’t take a star off for it, but as feedback, we had to chase up drinks and the bill a few times as after 9pm the staff seemed to disappear or forget… but when speaking with them they were very pleasant and knowledgeable. Will definitely return!

Arrived for our 19:30 booking. Manager said he would clean a table and seat us. 20:00 we still hadn’t been seated, the manager ignored us but checked the football on the projector many times before we got seated. Young waiter (helpful and friendly) was sent over to try seat us on an unused table infront of the projector…. Once finally seated at a proper table our waitress was very friendly and helpful. Overall not great start from the manager but the waiters were very helpful and the food was good. Nearly ruined anniversary meal !

Friday night date night started off poorly. Despite having a table booked for 8 pm, we arrived to find it wasn’t ready. We were sent to the bar, where we waited 15 minutes to be served. We ordered a Long Island iced tea and recieved a jug of iced tea. It then took a further 15 minutes to get the correct drink. Once seated, we asked for the beef brisket combo and were suggested the New York combo. we received the New York combo, which had no beef brisket just two slices of thin beef, which is not what we wanted though the food itself was quite good. The service, however, was disappointing. Any drink ordered had a significant wait time. We learned it was the bartenders first day, It’s not a good idea to put a new staff member on bar duty on a busy Friday night

Red Dog Saloon is hands down my absolute favourite restaurant. The food is always tasty, fresh, and high-quality and I thoroughly enjoy eating here. The atmosphere is great, and the service is always friendly and efficient. What really stands out for me is the Californian burger. It's incredibly flavourful and delicious, with the perfect blend of ingredients that make each bite a delight. If you’re looking for a delightful meal, try this place out!! Highly recommended!

Loud and average. This is our third visit to Red Dog Southampton. Used to be something different and very tasty. Now, unfortunately, the food was average for the cost compared to lots of other places. Service was slow to non-existent and staff more interested in catering for the football table that were the owners friends rather than those in the restaurant. More importantly, staff had no idea about dietary requirements and suggested they could " take the gluten out the burger " but said they are not gluten-free burgers ! Some training is required there. So skipped and went for the brisket instead. Which was ok. Sadly won't be going again as we used to enjoy it.

we have been coming here for many of months and we are usually very happy with the food. but the staff were lacking in efficiency , we had to ask for cutlery 5 minutes are we got our food. the burgers have changed, last time they were plump fresh seeded buns and were delicious, this time they were wrapped up in paper and the bottom bum was soggy so thin and half was missing, the top bun was squashed and hard, it was an overall huge letdown as we usually love it here. i don’t know what’s happened this place.

We visited for a nice BBQ lunch. Let's get the food out of the way. I honestly can't complain about the food. It was cooked well and was tasty. The server was there within a minute of us sitting down to get the drinks order and asked about the food order. We said we have never been and want a proper look, they said fine but where back literally a minute later. At this point we had not had enough time to look over the menu properly which meant there was a few regrets when we got our food. As we finished our food we were quite quickly moved on and for the price we paid for the food, the ability to sit a little while after would have been nice. Over all the food is outstanding but the service and the price are issues. 2 adults and a child ( children's menu is very good £6.95 for 2 courses including a drink and all large which is extremely good value but for my wife and me it was £110 for lunch. This was only with a coke each to drink too. Food is great but overall a fairly average experience due to the rushed service.

Came for bottomless wings, they were great, though the spicy ones were very mild and dry, hopefully they just brought us the wrong ones. When we initially sat down it took about 15 minutes for someone to take our food order. Women's toilets didn't have any toilet paper, and it took me almost 10 minutes to find someone to ask for some. They didn't even bother to put it in the dispenser, just left it above the toilet. We came in at 17:00 and until half past five there was rarely any staff on the floor. They were attentive with the food but not with the drinks which were also bottomless. After dropping off our bill no one came back so we just had to go to them to pay before leaving. Overall just a lack of attention, lack of staff, and not many choices for dips.

This has tasty burgers and chicken, but we weren't impressed with the side dishes on offer. The fries were cold and very average, the Mac and cheese tasted like it was from a box, the BBQ beans were SO watery anytime you picked up a bean all the sauce flew off, the fried pickles were really soft and floppy. One of our burgers was cold around the edge from being sat on the pass for a while. But positives: milkshakes were really tasty, the cocktails were well made, and the fried chicken really is very tasty and juicy. Plus the servers were all so nice. Something I will say is I can see why the dessert trolley is offered for free, as by the time we had even eaten half of our food (1 burger + 1 side), we could not even fathom anything else as we all felt so uncomfortably full. But I think I'd learn and share a burger or something next time as it looked nice. All in all, I don't think I'll go back, but I'm happy I've tried it. Maybe the platters are nicer

Years ago this restaurant was good. Visited yesterday, I was incredibly blown away by the extortionate prices - our order had missing elements but we were still charged the full price. Our burgers had missing sauce, bacon, portions were very small verses the photos (very clever with product placement), the Mozzarella sticks were under cooked and hard in the middle. We ordered Onion rings then told 10 minutes later that they had ran out. The ‘slaw’ was some of the worst coleslaw I have ever tried, it was warm and swimming in a fluid that tasted like Jif. Service was shocking, it took them 49 minutes to serve our mains, and then when we ordered cheese cake it took them a further 28 minutes. The cheesecake was absolutely appalling, it was warm, dried out, and served on a hot plate with some canned whipped cream! It was a gelatinous lump of dough that had no flavour - you could buy a better quality cheesecake in the value section of Tesco. For two people, we had two mains, Slaw and Fries, two drinks and two puddings - £80.85 was the bill. I was so tempted to call Mastercard and claim for a refund as this was an insult to other restaurants that charge lower fees and offer better service and products. I’ve never walked out of a restaurant feeling deflated and hoping that I don’t need to visit a toilet shortly after. Absolutely speechless, the management and product team need to reset and look at what you offer and create something authentic.

Service was so incredibly slow. Took nearly an hour for food to come out. Some elements were missing- we were told they had run out of onion rings but one burger was also missing a garlic mayo, and the other didn't have the bacon. There was no price reduction for missing elements. Espresso martini listed as being made with finlandia vodka but they used smirnoff. For the pricetag, I would not expect the cheapest vodka. Cheesecake pudding came out warm.

Very busy, but still it shouldn’t take 35 minutes to get your drink. Burger pattys were great but the cremated bacon and soggy onion rings spoilt it a bit. Plus, why are the fries more paprika than potato??? Maybe better when it’s less busy. Friendly staff, when they speak to you.

First time at this restaurant, yes it's loud but the staff are helpful and polite and really enjoyed the whole experience. The platter we got had a good selection of meat and you can choose the burger or sandwiches you want. You definitely don't need starters but we did fit in d dessert each. My only moan is that there is a 10% service charge added into the bill which is discretionary, I would've tipped anyway but the service charge was my tip this time.

As a Texas native, I was thrilled to experience a classic American BBQ platter here. The Chopped Pork Sandwich was outstanding, although I wish the Mac & Cheese had been gooier instead of soupy. I highly recommend trying the USS Kentucky platter. The service was mediocre; we waited 30 minutes for our check after requesting it twice, and they initially forgot our Mac & Cheese until we reminded them. The atmosphere is authentic with a lively vibe, though our seating area had some leftover food on the floor. Despite these issues, the food was excellent, and I plan to return.

A nice place for a good meal. We went as a group (make sure you book as it gets busy in peak times), and everyone was happy with their food. There was the odd annoyance about the food, like one person's burger bun was very greasy, another one's bacon was far too well done (not crispy just hard) but other than that the food quality was great, in fact some of the meat served was the best I've seen - so tender and juicy. Very expensive for a meal out though, and they automatically add on the tip (some find this helpful, I think it's cheeky to assume a set gratuity). The atmosphere is good, if a bit loud due to the customers, but they have background music at a nice level which sets a nice tone. The staff are lovely and helpful, although they forgot a few drinks and we had to remind them of it. I will probably go again if invited there, but I wouldn't choose this place myself due to its high prices.

I recently visited Red Dog Saloon in Southampton and, let me tell you, it was a game changer for my burger expectations! I went for their peanut butter burger and, honestly, it was a taste revelation. The creamy, nutty flavor of the peanut butter melded perfectly with the juicy burger, creating a combo that’s truly out of this world. Who knew peanut butter on a burger could be so good? Their menu is quite the feast for the eyes too, especially their sharing platters. Whether you're with friends or family, these platters are a fantastic way to sample a bit of everything. To cap off a hearty meal, their sticky pudding is a must-try. It's rich, decadent, and just the right kind of sweet—a perfect end to a delightful meal. And I can't wrap up without mentioning the staff. They were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. If you're in the area, don't skip out on Red Dog Saloon. It's a spot that combines great flavors with a fun vibe and stellar service.

I have been looking for an American BBQ restaurant for a while and have previously visited Smith & Western in Chichester (not so great these days), the Red Dog Saloon is absolutely amazing. There are lots of different food options but being our first visit we opted for one of the BBQ platters (minimum of two people) so that we could try a bit of everything. It was hard to pick a favourite item off the platter as everything was just so tasty. We decided not to go for starters or sides as we were warned by friends that the platter is substantial and they were right! They smoke their meats onsite out the front of the restaurant which is a nice touch. The drinks menu is vast with a huge whisky and tequila section, I had a beer which came in a stein glass and my partner had a cocktail both were very good. We will be returning to try other things on the menu and would highly recommend to others.

The food was quality! However, it was really quite expensive, rich and portion size was too filling. It is an American bbq restaurant so slightly to be expected but the menu could do with some pictures so you know what you’re getting yourself in for. You really do have to prepare your stomach beforehand. I had a “Punisher mk2” and I really do feel punished after eating it. Between the three of us we shared two portions of fries and two portions of coleslaw. I had a double sized serving on the burger so two standard patties. One would have been more than enough. I can’t imagine what XL or double XL would have been like. The toppings on the burger were plentiful and taste albeit the sauce was very rich. The plates the burgers were served on looked good but were a little impractical given the size of the burger and how it liked to spill its toppings and juices. I think if I were to recommend this place, I would advise going with at least three people and only buying a sharing platter of sorts for two people. I can eat a lot generally but I struggled here. This place is alright for a once in a long while occasion. Not somewhere I’d go regularly.

The food has gone really downhill, which is a shame because this was one of our favourite places to eat when in Southampton. Asked for burgers to be well done, one came medium the other was barely cooked and totally raw in the middle. To top it off they add 10% to your bill as a tip without asking if this is okay. I know its an American style place, but wasn't aware I was actually in the US. Last time I checked tips are discretionary in the UK. I don't usually mind adding a tip, but the fact we wasnt even asked and it was just assumed is terrible. Especially given how bad the food was. Already felt robbed off for having to pay the amount we did for that.

Food was amazing and nothing to fault, the reason for the slightly negative review is that anything on draft was not cold (not warm but not cold enough for usual temp of draft lager & Guinness) We visited 02-04-24 with a party of 5 (2 from OZ) for a quick snack and drinks, we were told that the draft Stella wasn't working which was fine with us. The first round of 3 drinks brought to our table and the Ozzy's were mortified of the temp after the first sip, we mentioned the warm drinks to our server and after asking her manger the manger agreed to redo the drinks, these were brought back and there was a slight improvement but it seemed that the glasses were cooled under a cold tap. The 2nd round was back to the warm temp, 2 of the Ozzy's left over half a pint their larger each and I left the same of my Guinness (I never ever ever leave a unfinished drink)!! We again mentioned to our server and asked if they can not charge for the 3No drinks again after the manager agreed this was reduced from our final bill.

Contacted my daughter through her profile on a recruitment website and invited her in to work a trial shift on a busy Friday evening. After her trial shift they completely ghosted her. Ignored her e-mail and phonecalls regarding the position. They used her for unpaid temporary labour. Extremely dubious business practices. To add as per the response. We did e-mail Red Dog Saloon and was told it would be looked into. As per the job never heard back. So beware they use recruitment sites to fill staff gaps with unpaid labour.

I went for the first time at the end of March as part of a large group. The staff were brilliant - a glass broke and several staff members got together to clear it up before we sat down at our table, which was completely cleaned. The food was good but I probably made the wrong choice but others in the group liked it and shared platters, which made it quite economical. My only complaint was the hustle and bustle of people queuing for the bar whilst waiting for a table, which made it very difficult to hear. Additionally, the queuing people were waiting, drinking and chatting over the free trifle, which I felt was unhygienic and should at least be covered. Overall it was a good experience and I had a good evening with the group but would have been better if the waiting people were not gathered all around the tables and bar.

Pretty sure I got food poisoning from this place Saturday night! As soon as I got home I was really unwell. Both my partner and I didn't enjoy our food, it wasn't hot and took such a long time between each course coming out. Definitely looked like they had overbooked on tables too as we had to wait about 20 mins after our booking time and it was extremely busy.

Tasteless, greasy and overpriced. The restaurant was dirty and smelly. The only minor positive was the waitress who tried her best but even admitted to us that they had several complaints about the food.

Went for dinner first time at Red Dog Saloon was unreal, been served by Kira, we had platter for 2 which was unreal, bbq meet styles and burger was delicious, our waitress Kira had good knowledge of everything we asked, she was friendly and checked on us couple times if everything was ok or we need anything else. In overall amazing experience, if you meet lover it’s a MUST !!!

Brilliant American restaurant. The platter offers a taste of all the good dishes on the menu. My favourite restaurant in Southampton. My husband and I enjoy coming here

Would not recommend. Service felt rushed and made you feel unwelcome. Food was bad, it tasted stale, lukewarm and as though it had been sitting on the side for a good hour under a heat lamp. The menu at restaurant was completely different to the menu on the website. Very sad as the restaurant was previously an enjoyable experience in the past.

Nice BBQ place, however I will warn you if you have any kind of food issues check everything in any items before you order. I ordered Mac and cheese nice and safe as I cannot handle spice at any level and it makes me rather ill. Yet somehow the Mac and cheese is spicy, when I finally collared a member of the wait staff I was advised that they add jalapenos to the Mac and cheese. This is not noted on the menu. For me personally this has put me off ever visiting again.

Since when did eating a burger cost as much as sitting down to eat a three course meal? Not just myself but also witnessed another have to brush seat off after being shown to table! I guess cleaning wasn’t included in the 10% tip already added to the bill ? Burger was good but certainly not worth £16.50 without chips. Chips came served warm at best and had a texture of pre cooked and hung around priced at £5.50 . I wouldn’t return here again, after big expectations from price and pictures to what I received in reality I should have just gone to five guys .

Very overpriced for what you get. It’s ridiculous you do not get fries when they charge more than the price of an average meal. We had old menus on our table that were almost impossible to read and also found out that the prices had gone up on the newer menu. Peach iced tea had no flavour and we had to ask for the soft drink options as they were not listed. On top of that you are given a 10% service charge for very minimal effort from the waiters and waitress’. Also extremely loud music to the point it’s overbearing. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Best meal I've had there tonight, Victoria's recommendation of the beer was very well received, and she was fantastic with us for late on a Sunday.

Excellent place, we didn't book so had to wait for a table but ended up eating outside as too hot in the restaurant. A very big energy about the place. Cocktails were incredible, food was SUPERB, absolutely delicious and the service was brilliant too. Family friendly too. I'd just be sure to book.

Really was looking forward to red dog last night, But ended up being a nightmare. Staff are useless waiting over 45 mins for our drinks and then food was soggy cold. Really disappointed 😔

Definitely try the beef brisket and pork rib. Two of us order 1/2 for each. I’ll say that it might be the best Texas BBQ I’ve ever had!! Also recommend the red dog larger beer, you would regret if you did not order it!

Bitter sweet experience. We had a table booked for 20:00 and was there for this time. Just to be told that we have to wait 24 mins. I told the front house person that this was unacceptable. The person mumbled that it is what it is and walked away. I enquired about compensation to sit at the bar as we were 8 people and the person’s reply was that they don’t do compensation. I asked for a Manager, which I never do, and got seated immediately. This front house person clearly doesn’t know anything about human relations or customer service. This left me and my Fiancée arguing and totally spoiled our evening… As for the service and the food… Excellent… can’t fault anything. Well done. For a big table, everything was on time and the food was amazing. Just a shame that we had such an awful welcome. I’m in two minds if I’d go back. First impressions lasts the longest…

honestly best burgers/nachos ive ever had in my life, nothing i had before compares, so so good and they give so much food for relatively cheap, i bought a £20 burger (that's the most expensive), the taste was amazing and i couldn't even finish it all even tho i eat a lot, highly reccomend.

This place is incredible! They know what they are doing and they do it really well. The service from all of the staff was absolutely excellent and the food was incredible with lots of really generous portions of really excellent food. One of my friends and I shared the USS Oregon platter, which was just filled with amazingly tasty BBQ meat, with the ISDA brisket being the highlight. The service was also first class. Due to other things earlier in the day, we actually arrived almost an hour early. They still sat us down within about 10 minutes of us arriving and it was no problem at all. Overall, an amazing experience.
