First time trying proper American BBQ and we weren't disappointed. Everything was cooked to perfection. The staff were all very attentive and polite and welcoming. Will definately visit another Red Dog outlet if we happen to be near one. Unfortunately there arent any in Scotland, but hopefully that changes.

We had the brunch menu at the pop up restaurant at the Long Road Festival at the 2026 Bank Holiday Weekend. It was terrible. The food came out luke warm (at best). the brisket was greasy and fatty. The bacon was rock hard and overdone. The hashbrowns were like crispy husks. The eggs were snotty and underdone. Overall very disappointing. In addition, we were crammed in like school children (I know it was busy but it was 6 to a bench table, 3 each side. If they had organised the layout better they could have still had 6 to a bench with more room.) Service was OK at best. I dont blame them for the food but it took an age to get a drink, which i will come to, and they didnt really seem very co-ordinated or trained. The drinks: coffee was terrible. I mean if you are going to pretend to be a diner you should at least have half decent coffee. The Bloody Mary was pre made and the Tobasco/Worcestershire Sauce was too much. Would it have been tool much to mix the base and let us add the Tobasco/Worcestershire Sauce ourselves. All this for £35 a head. I am just glad we didnt go for the Lunch at £45 a head. Now before anyone says, what do you expect at a festival, every other meal I had was great. From the cajun Surf & Turf, to the Smash burger, Duck wraps and even the Apple Crumble and Custard. All of the meals were hot and fresh. And they were made ina bus or truck. The Red Dog pretty much had its own kitchen. There was no excuse, and i can only think that the owners figured they could serve mediocre food with the excuse it was a festival Very, very disappointed. I would recommend against eating there and will definitely not eat there again

The restaurant was a welcome addition to the food offer at The Long Road Festival. Unfortunately, I don't think the weather gave the opportunity to show case what is possible. The changeover between sittings was a little chaotic - probably due to tables lingering as long as possible to keep out of the rain. Disappointed to have wine served in tumblers. The main was good and as expected. No choice for desert, which should have been option. A good first crack at this greenfield site and I will go back again because with tweaks it could be really good.

Had a great meal at Red Dog Saloon during The Long Road Festival. The food was excellent and really exceeded expectations for a festival setting. The service was okay, and it was a shame they had run out of the apple pie by the time we ordered. That said, considering they were operating from a tent at a busy festival, the overall experience was fantastic. Great food, good atmosphere, and definitely worth a visit

Firstly we were sat for nearly an hour before the good came out, when it did come out on first impressions looked ok. The beef rib was not cooked long enough so could not bite into it at all. The pork tibs were not much better. The only thing that had any flavour was the mac and cheese but thats because it was over peppered. An absolute rip off to charge £45 each. I was sharing with my husband and yet we had considerably less on our plate to share than the single person sitting next to us. We were asked if the food was ok and when I said no I was told thats great and they walked off. Couldn't tell you what the dessert was like as I wasn't staying to find out.

Food - I found the brisket texture slushy and soggy and not pleasant at all. The sausage was good if you like chorizo type spicy sausage. Bacon was good, hash browns (tater tots) were lovely and crispy and eggs were cooked well. Drinks - a tea option would have been good. Tried the coffee but it was too strong and bitter. The Bloody Mary and Peach Iced Tea were also OK
