"I had been excited for weeks to visit red dog saloon as I have visited before and the chicken was good. We went on a Saturday evening and firstly it was very busy. We had booked a table so we’re seated after a short wait. Service was slow but it was busy. We ordered two main dishes (both chicken), a side of burnt end mash and a side of nachos. The chicken was very good. Plentiful in portion size and great flavour. This was the highlight of the meal. The mash was one of the most atrocious portions of mash I have ever laid eyes on. Swimming in what could only be described as fat rather than gravy. No taste other than fat and mash of such questionable consistency it didn’t appear there most of the time. This needs removing from the menu or changing asap! Scandalous presentation for £7.50. Nachos were stale and disappointing. No salsa and cheese on them also had no flavour. Not great for the £10.50 we paid for them. Service continued to slow the longer we stayed to the point where our plates were not cleared after our meal. Servers were often clearing tables that were empty rather than attending customers still at the restaurant (who may continue to spend money on drinks or desserts) or were talking amongst each other. We sat staring at the cold congealed mess of mashy fat before getting up, asked to pay with a server and left. Left disappointed as they had been great on previous visits. Sadly lost a customer here."

"We made a reservation online a couple of days in advance and I ordered the tomahawk steak. Communication was excellent, and Nathalie made sure we were informed about the price of the steak. Our reservation was for 5.15 (the only available slot), but I stopped by earlier in the day to see if we could push it back a bit. Dan was very accommodating and managed to adjust our reservation time, so a big thank you to him. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. My steak came with a variety of sides including chunky chips, sweetcorn on the cob, tomatoes on the vine, a salad, and a peppercorn sauce, all served on a tray! My wife chose the Smokestack option with two meats and two sides, which was equally satisfying. The bar had an impressive selection of beers, lagers, spirits, and cocktails. The wine list was diverse with many options available by the glass. The prices for drinks were reasonable, especially with the early bird cocktail offer. We enjoyed our experience so much that we returned the following night for the Sunday roast, which was a great value for money and included a variety of vegetables, stuffing, and Yorkshire pudding. The cocktails were also top-notch. The service was quick and attentive, with friendly and helpful staff both at the table and behind the bar. The atmosphere was lively, especially on Saturday when it was busy, but still pleasant on the quieter Sunday evening. I will definitely make it a point to dine here again next time I'm in Alnwick."

"Firstly this review is no reflection on the delightful young lady who served us on entry to this venue and served my drinks at the bar if only the other staff were as courteous and professional.......now on to my appalling experience on arrival got drinks asked for s table Barry chuckle then put us on a table so far so good handed menus ...left to decide then for the next 30 minutes I proceeded to watch Barry chuckle totally ignore me and my wife as if invisible ..at this point I was getting a little fed up so popped round to the bar saw the young lady who said il get him to come now so I returned to my table only to be followed by Barry chuckle who yes you guessed it went to the wrong table totally ignoring me again .....as they were watching this unfold from the bar the young lady quickly shouted at Barry chuckle who totally ignored her so she herself had to apologise and take my order .....now on to the food well starter came quick looking like it had just been pulled out of the nuclear reactor at Sellafield it was that hot ..obviously microwaved to death ...just about edible ....then the mains went for the all American burger well what can I say was a total disappointment can only say that it only reference to American was the charred remains of an atrocity to sever to mention ....absolute horrendous ......we finished our meals and again was sat waiting to pay so again off to the bar again where I encountered the new manager on making my feelings known without a hesitation she was quick to offer a refund ...Which I refused flatly as if you simply giving money back you only masking the problem..how about spending that money on decent staff training .staff uniform and more importantly a decent chef .. oh a replacement for Barry chuckle and a decent pay rise to the girl front of house ....."

"Working away for my company I have been to numerous smokehouse style restaurants and can honestly say Bare Grills was the clear winner so far. I visited with my family on a personal meal not funded by my employer and it was a group choice to visit this restaurant. I had been to the same location some years ago probably 2015 when it used to be owned by Grillstock. The location is Clifton Triangle and luckily the West End multistorey car park had just re-opened after a lengthy closure £3 for 2 hours . We arrived at 5pm and there was already 3 or 4 tables eating there food when we arrived, the music was great if you love southern rock and that style which I do. We were asked for our drink order first, and then ordered our food. The order was 1 x Double Bacon Burger 1 x Filthy Pig Burger 1 x Piggyback Burger 2 x Dirty Fries with crispy bacon 1 x Dirty Fries with pulled pork The food arrived promptly and looked amazing see images , the fries were so nice with the sauce and topping bacon or pulled pork given them an extra level of delicousness! The burgers were amazing, I had the Piggy Back which is bacon and 4 burger patties! It was like a skyscraper! It was juicy, well cooked not over cooked before you jump to any conclusion! . It was too big to eat by hand, so i decided to split it into 2 halves, then eat with a knife and fork. My family all enjoyed there meal just as much with 6 plates going back completely clean the fries are seperately ordered to the burgers so on a different plate . As I said in my opinion this is the finest tasting burger fries in a smokehouse restaurant that I have been too, give it a try you will not be dissapointed! Their menu is not just limited to burgers, they have hot dogs, wings and ribs etc too. I will be returning and my family are all in agreement that they loved it too and want to return."

"Absolute sham from start to finish! After a friend suggested eating here, I didn 't want to protest, even after having a terrible experience previously so I agreed to go for some nibbles. Firstly, the pretentious Manager said that they were serving food but only indoors. I replied with, 'Well I have the dog so can I bring him inside? ' The Manager then decided that it was okay for me to order food to be served outside. I then asked one of the waiters if I could order drinks from Tighes to have on the decking outside (I saw that the table alongside us was doing this) and he replied that this was okay, as long as I took the glasses back so that they didn 't get mixed up with theirs. A young waitress then came out seconds later and took food/ drink orders and proceeded to say that if we ordered drinks from Mr Tighes, then we would not be permitted to sit within Porky 's decked area. I ignored her request and continued with my conversation with friends. Given the shocking experience that I had in the past, I decided against ordering any food and did not purchase a drink either. The young staff are inexperienced, so can be excused but the Managers attitude is disguisting and in my opinion, he bullies the young staff. To the owner of the business, your reputation is being flushed down the pan, just look at your reviews! To anyone who has taken the time to read this review, get yourself to Tighes and if you fancy some nibbles after, get yourself to the Bebside Inn and order some pizza 's in from a takeaway! (If you ask at the bar, they will let you). Porkys will never get my custom again!"
