Price: Moderate•American•3.7(1,749)TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR HEATED & COVERED TERRACE FOR GROUPS FROM MULTIPLE HOUSEHOLDS
Red Dog Saloon is an Austin, TX Barbecue restaurant, serving 18-hour roast ribs, brisket, aged chuck steak burgers and much more, all best enjoyed with tasty cocktails or milkshakes.
Barbecue 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 smoldering 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 flavor, and the meat stays in the smoker for up to 18 hours.

I ordered the Eggs Royale, which were perfectly done – rich, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The smoothies were another highlight: fresh, vibrant, and the ideal complement to the meal. The ambience is just right – relaxed yet refined – making it a lovely space to unwind or catch up with friends. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a consistently great brunch in Southampton with excellent food, lovely vibes, and outstanding service, this place is it. Highly recommend!More infoBill's Restaurant & Bar - SouthamptonPrice: Moderate• British• Southampton•4.5
