• American • Nottingham

Booked 13 times today

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.

Brilliant! we were recommended by our son, and we were not disappointed. We were made welcome right from the start and nothing was too much trouble. Fabulous menu, with the shepherds pie an outstanding winner. I was fascinated watching all the staff with their distinctive clothing showing what their duties are. The girl who brought the food from the kitchen was amazing carrying a huge tray on her shoulder, right down to the bar staff creating cock tails, everyone was busy all the time working in a happy, pleasant atmosphere. It was our first anniversary and when the staff found out we were given a lovely chocolate desert with happy anniversary on it. Beautiful decor, lovely staff, heavenly food. Worth every penny. It was pouring down when we left and unfortunately there were no umbrellas left. What a lovely idea though. Well done ,we will be be back when next visiting Nottingham.

After a bit of a poor start as quite a few dishes had sold out due to a big party they redeemed themselves and both the food and the service was excellent. Giovani did a fantastic job.

Booked for Sunday lunch. Amazing food with a varied menu for those who don’t like Sunday roasts. We do like a roast so opted for the pork which was fantastic! Very tasty with plenty of veg and ‘proper’ gravy. Good portion size so sadly couldn’t squeeze in a dessert but they looked good! Will definitely book again and definitely recommend !
