• American • Nottingham

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.

The service in this Bills is excellent. It's in a lovely old bank building in a good location. The food is well thought through with reasonable rather than "stuff your face" portions. Nothing too fancy and well executed.

Had Sunday lunch and the food was very enjoyable including a delicious Creme Brulee. The service was efficient and the staff were friendly. The only small complaint is that there was no wine list and so the waitress had to tell us what was available.
