Burgers are ubiquitous and far too common in the US, but that doesn't mean it's where you…read morenecessarily come across the best. I've had my fair share of memorable burgers from coast to coast in America, but just glancing at a picture of the beef shin burger transports me back across the pond to the Barking Dog. I remember the few days I spent in Belfast fondly and of the many memories, my meal at the Barking Dog was a definite highlight. In a rather quaint and charming neighborhood, I took a nice short stroll from my Airbnb and came across this gem of an establishment and decided I had to check it out. I had a nice beer to start, and it wasn't a Guinness because stouts aren't my thing, but whatever it was I remember it being excellent and local. Undoubtedly you could make this place a regular haunt and there is no shortage of drinks and food options to make this a go-to for a date, celebration, or a quick meal. The staff are welcoming, kind, and helpful and the general atmosphere is chill. The food for me was ethereal - a burger isn't just a burger here and what you get when you bite into the beef shin burger is a little slice of Heaven. Moist and tender are a given but the taste is just so divine with the caramelized onion, cheddar, and horseradish mayo melding into an union of perfection. It's hard not to describe one of the most memorable meals of my life in such hyperbole but the vivid recall I have of this particular place is uncanny and merits all the praise I can heap upon the fine folks that run the place. If timing had worked out, I would have eaten as meals here as I could have but I'll thank my lucky stars for at least giving me one opportunity to eat such a wonderful burger at such a wonderful eatery. A+ and a definite must when visiting Belfast.

I decided on the tempura-battered cod fish tacos and they were really good, especially the chipotle ranch sauce (or whatever creamy spicy something was on them!).

I hate it when restaurants do this, I can understand it for Christmas party bookings, but dislike when deposits are requested throughout the year. It would prevent me from returning with a large party in future. It's just a hassle trying to collect money from people you won't necessarily be seeing before an evening out. Alternatively one person has to cover the deposit before the meal, which is unfair and leaves them out of pocket until the night out. Other than this we had a good overall experience. Waiting staff were excellent and the menu is huge with a vast selection of dishes, even plenty of veggie options - burgers, pizzas, pastas etc. I ordered vegetarian fajitas which were served with a side of fries, 3 fajita pancakes, a large sizzling plate of mixed veg (mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoes) plus guacamole, sour cream and salsa. The guacamole and salsa weren't fresh, instead they seemed quite processed. But it was good food - not great - but filling, tasty and reasonable for the price. Our whole party enjoyed their meals. We also ordered dessert and the Banoffee Pie was absolutely gorgeous- though I did have dessert envy when I saw the Nutella Dough Balls some of the others ordered! Ginger, gin, beer and plenty of wine flowed. In total two courses, drinks and tips cost approximately £35 per person. A good night was had by all. This is a nice, casual, relaxed restaurant and I would return - but not with a large party as I dislike the insistence on a deposit and enforced service charge. Whilst I recognise the reasoning for these charges and appreciate they are becoming common in a lot of restaurants, I will primarily take my custom to establishments who don't insist on a deposit. A good, solid 3.5 stars from me...

When we walked in, we were completely in awe of the whole décor / design of the place as it was like walking into an American diner in the 60's. I was waiting on Marty McFly walking past to be honest. Customer service was great! The best I have received in such a long time. The waiting staff were also great with kids. There is a jukebox at each booth which cost's 20p per song but all the money goes to charity which I think is great, and it has all the greats you would expect hearing in a joint like this, Elvis, The beach boys, Chuck Berry etc.... The food was pretty good, and this is the only reason it did not get a 5 star from me, but it's not unique, the chips, burger and sides are most likely bought into the store in bulk and it's food you can get at Frankie and Bennys / TGI's it's not individually owned if you were to compare to somewhere like the Hotplate. But in saying that it was pretty tasty, portion sizes were good and I would definitely be 'back in the future' if I am up at Boucher Road and the stomach starts talking to me!

The staff are friendly and you can sit back and relax over a few drinks. If the shopping gets you hungry as well as thirsty then you can get fed here too. Not the biggest menu in the world, but I think it's ample for this place - Chicken goujons, lasagne, chicken curry, fish, burgers... all the popular stuff. I had the lasagne with chips and coleslaw when I was there, and it was a hefty feed. It all tasted pretty good. It wasn't like lasagne you'd get at night in a restaurant, but for a pub I was well pleased with it. You won't usually get much in the way of entertainment here at night because of where it is. It's away from the city centre, but doesn't have much in the way of a residential area anywhere near it, so it doesn't really have a lot of visitors to Belfast, or regulars who live locally. Still, it's a sight for sore eyes when you get that shopping lark out of the way.

We were shown to our table reasonably quickly, and the waitress took our drinks orders. We perused the small but ample menu while we waited, and after some fifteen minutes, it became apparent that we had been forgotten about. We managed to locate the waitress who apologised and brought our drinks then took our orders. I ordered the lasagne which someone has already mentioned, and we received our food around 20 minutes later. It was a great big portion, and was extremely tasty - worth the wait! The price was pretty reasonable too, came to just over £20 for two of us which included a few soft drinks too. If I was around the area again I wouldn't hesitate to go back.
