The burgers are brilliant, so moist and full of flavour. You won't need many sides & only try the wing challenge if your suicidal (just seen two grown ass men crying in the bathroom after attempting)

Try the beef ribs (and add the north carolina sauce and sweet and spicy sauce)! very yummy! Try the cheese and mac with bacon as side too!

Whole slab of pork ribs is amazing and can fill 4 lightly hungry people. Staff is friendly even if the place is super busy. Definitely coming back to taste the rest of the menu!

Nice place, including cocktails, beers and of course fit for foodies BBQ. Tried the ribs and chicken, both were cooked on perfection. Better than the typical and overrated London BBQ places

Tasty BBQ and grill style food. If you ask, they will give you a small pot of the hot wings challenge sauce to try. Good luck with that. Great service too.

Has outside seating - lovely staff - American brunch menu - bottomless brunch for £15 on top of food price - main menu has big portions - great wings!

Did not expect to find good bbq in a London (Shoreditch) pub but lo and behold it was good and tasty. Good sauce to boot. Excellent beer (Camden Pale Ale) on tap too.

Good BBQ and big burgers. Good selection of beers too. Try the Devastator challenge! Read our full review on Scoff London: http://scofflondon.com/restaurants/red-dog-saloon-review-n1/

If you are a meat person go for it. Brisket and hotlink is great. Burger is great as well

Do not eat the wings from the hot wing challenge. The are unlike anything you could possibly imagine. One bite and I was ill. Thought I was having a heart attack. I am dreading the morning....
Pamela ChowSeptember 15, 2013
Great burgers, awesome wings (the normal ones) and beef rib was tasty. Pulled pork was a little dry without the sauce. Jalapeno poppers were enormous!

Mmmm the ribs are huge and delicious and the mai tai is impressive and yummy! 🐷🍹

Great Southern American food. Very good Burgers. The Chilli Cheeseburger is my favourite. They do a good Thanksgiving Dinner also
Michael AmonAugust 10, 2015
The pulled pork and brisket are authentic and there's a good variety of bbq friendly beers. The wine isn't bad either.
Jason BallAugust 22, 2011
Grew up in Mississippi. The pulled pork sandwich is as good as any. Onion rings are very good; hand made- not those pre-fab ones. Avoid the Mac & cheese - more cheese than mac...
Priya TungrusAugust 20, 2016
Loved the chicken wings and fried chicken. Huge collection of bourbon too, try the roses small batch!

Veggie burger was really good, and there's great mac n cheese for veggies too. Booked ahead for a group of 20 and didn't wait too long. :)

Excellent buffalo wings. Better than others I've had in so-called 'authentic' places (Sticky Wings, etc.)
Evening StandardMay 23, 2012
The giant burger made from three 6oz beef patties, 200g of pulled pork, six rashers of applewood smoked bacon and six slices of cheese takes the centre stage. Read more

I use to not like this place in terms of it's food, but then they pulled their socks up and now produce an edible burger. Although they let themselves down with the whole eating challenge nonsense!
Joshua SweeneyMarch 5, 2012
Reuben burger is amazing and if you don't mind spending a few more pennies treat yourself to a milkshake. The banana and peanut butter milkshake was delicious!

The buffalo wings are amazing. In fact anything that comes out of the smoker is 100% magic!!! If Adam had had these ribs, eve would never of got a look in!
Alex MooreJune 23, 2013
A good rival to Bodeans, Ribs & Pulled Pork are the winner and the sides of Chilli and Mac & Cheese a triumph
Roy WardOctober 8, 2013
The Devastator Challenge is not to be undertaken lightly. Awesome feasting; great ribs here too. Come hungry.
Valentina CiolinoFebruary 3, 2015
Staff could be nicer, but the food is worth the wait. Better to book
Oliver ShreeveOctober 4, 2014
Absolutely massive portion sizes, and if you're wondering a "burnt end pie" is a bit like a shepards pie.
Joan DuongAugust 26, 2015
Awesome burgers and the service was amazing. Very lovely staff
Phil KenchJuly 7, 2012
Good ribs and pulled pork, but very average burgers jazzed with interesting topping. Hoxton crowd have loud fun, do, bring friends (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Take the signature burger for something different yet delicious. The onion rings are good - breaded not deep fried. The coleslaw is not worth your money.
Cat NooneApril 29, 2015
The basic buffalo wings are awesome! A lot of kick but it never over powers the flavor.
Simon KJanuary 3, 2015
Only come here if you're hungry for meat! Burgers are tasty, fries ok but uninteresting, bourbon milkshake good, could do with pepping up. Meatmission around the corner is better, if you can get in
Shaymus MacJune 6, 2015
The manager here was awesome and really accommodating and it was obvious he was being supportive to his crew
Lars ReimerOctober 13, 2013
The Bacon Cheeseburger is incredible! Worth every penny 👍
Jamie DumbillAugust 24, 2014
Good atmosphere, busy at 3pm on Saturday. Recommend the buffalo wings. Brisket was a bit dry and the mac and cheese wasn't very cheesey. Expensive In compared to Bodeans.
Dapo OlasiyanAugust 30, 2015
The burger was awesome but I absolutely loved their wings in hickory sauce. Heaven!
Nazanin VahedyMay 31, 2020
Very nice service, ok burger with a very tasty sauce but the fries are not fresh. Good option for takeaway in the lockdown.
Amanda FoleyDecember 21, 2012
Mac n' cheese w/ bacon AND they actually served me a rare burger when I asked for one! Be still my heart.
Oğulcan GirginçSeptember 3, 2014
Go and have an Chicago Style with a fries and onion rings! 👌
Tania BrittoAugust 8, 2014
Perfectly cooked beef and great mac n cheese.
Gary ChisholmMarch 19, 2013
Had ribs and pulled pork. Delicious but not as good as Bodeans and MUCH dearer. I'd rather go Diner if I'm in the area.

Punished burger is good value and very filling! Deffo a bodeans feel with the ribs.
ScotAugust 2, 2013
Bacon cheeseburger was ridiculously good. Best burger I've had in London so far...
Carlos EduardoAugust 22, 2011
Best chicken wings I've had in a long time, great ribs, but the chili is not good, sort of like bolognese sauce.

Get the collard greens. Perfectly cooked and spicy. Never thought I would have good collards in London.
Gorka GuridiApril 28, 2018
They keep changing the menu so I'm not sure what to recommend anymore. Chicken burguers, probably.
Corrie BeltrameFebruary 17, 2013
http://www.bodeansbbq.com/ Is the only place to go, Red Dog was only disappointing in every aspect!
John LongSeptember 20, 2014
The Devastator is gigantic but amazing.
Stephen PirrieJune 13, 2011
The pulled pork burger isn't a scratch on Bodeans but the quality seems good and with a little less BBQ sauce it could be good. Decent fries and slaw. Fair price.
rabinOctober 13, 2012
These Jalapeños are JALAPEÑOS! You will not be able to look the andrex puppy in the eye the next day.
Jon SpruceApril 30, 2012
Eat the devastator! 3x 6oz burgers, 200g of pulled pork, 3 rashers of bacon and cheese
