Red Dog Saloon in Hackney

Great portions, very tasty, totally recommend it!I tried the sweet bourbon BBQ burger and it didn't disappoint me.The cookie milkshake was very nice!The venue and the atmosphere also nice and the staff very polite and helpfulI'll definitely visit them again soon

Been wanting to try this place for a while and tonight we were roaming around London quite late and this was conveniently open and nearby to where we were.The ambience is great, music just suits the vibe of the place, staff are incredibly friendly and attentive and relatively quick service.The burgers are SO GOOD, definitely one of the best burgers I’ve tried around London. We got a bbq platter of chicken wings (it was very dry but maybe because it was later on in the day it wasn’t as fresh) + chopped pork. Philly fries and guirella fries were nice too and perfect accompaniment with the burgers.Overall great experience and will return at an earlier time of day!

Good BBQ meats. Generous portions. The cocktails were to die for. Fresh ingredients and delicious! Sunday night was a bit quiet but sure it's lively the rest the time. Very friendly staff. Definitely recommend!

Love, Love ! Their burgers are so filling I can’t eat too much when I am there as there is so much meat in the burgers. Quality for money definitely worth it. Their mozzarella sticks and chicken wings are very tasty. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

The food here is fantastic, not to mention the actual restaurant itself, a really nice place to be. Staff were fantastic and service was really efficient given it was a Saturday night. I will 100% return here as this was a great place with really good prices considering quality of food and location of restaurant! We were served by Diana and she was amazing, I even pinky promised I’d leave this review lol! Thanks a lot

Looking for somewhere that does authentic BBQ is tough as most establishments reheat once smoked and that alters the flavour and textures however here… it’s insanely fresh. I indulged on a chilly Saturday afternoon and ordered a tray of hot links, brisket, chopped pork, pork ribs and a side of slaw. The food was very prompt and therefore I can only fathom it came out of the smoker and straight to the tray. The brisket was so moist and melt in the mouth, the pork ribs fell apart with a clean bone removal (not easy for pork ribs) and the hot links was packed full of flavour. The test of a great BBQ place is also their BBQ sauce which was nice and spiced (hints of mesquite) and the pickles, brined in house and delicious. Service was attentive and superb. An excellent late afternoon lunch.

Waited for food for a long time even though it was not busy. Burgers and Chips arrived cold. The manager did offer us complimentary drinks. But the food was not as expected.

Went for a friend's birthday, which we were all looking forward to. What a disappointment. It wasn't busy but to say it was hot in there, is an understatement!! The 'cocktails' were just premade pure sugar. I've got a sweet tooth but they were just beyond full fat coke! Awful. The food.....I still can't understand why you would send the chicken wings out in a pool of oil like it's a sauce. Yes that orange stuff in the pic is just oil/grease. Absolutely vile. No seasoning or anything on them. However one person had the veggie burger and said it was decent.The only thing that gave this 2 stars was the DJ. Really good and why we didn't leave earlier. But don't waste your money. There's far better brunches out there, for a little cheaper, where they give you half decent food/drinks and you don't loose 2 stone in sweat!

The food is underwhelming, not had, but definitely not moreish or scrumptious.Hot chicken, the reason we came here, has been fried in too cold oil, making it soaked in oil. It was also completely devoid of heat, despite me ordering it Extra Hot. The slice of bread in one of the pictures should be all red with spices. It was not. Except that, it was cooked properly, fresh and generally tasty.Barbecue meats are tasty, particularly ribs and brisket.Deep fried pickles and jalapenos are passable, albeit sloppily battered.Our Arnold Palmers were cold, not too sweet and generally acceptable.Service is definitely overwhelmed, so is the kitchen, and it shows. Our order of a vanilla shake was brought twice. We are charged once, which is a plus.On a quiet weekday, before pandemic, I remember this place being *much* better. But on a Saturday evening is not a place to eat, or have a good time, unless you are already pretty tipsy and don't care for much.

I had the devastator burger and it was immense. So tasty and if you eat the top half then the bottom half its not overly messy or hard to eat. Chips good too. Friends burgers all looked top notch as well. Nice restaurant as well and staff are great.Loses a star because their 'milkshakes' are firstly just blended ice cream plus a couple of unblended scoops thrown in, and not even good tasting ice cream but like cheap Walls soft scoop. I asked for Malt in mine and didn't get it, they took it back and brought it with whiskey in (I don't drink), at that point I gave up with the shake but they didn't charge for it.If you want a proper malt shake go to Byron Burger. But the burgers here are next level!
