A fast food style outlet for the Red Dog Saloon chain, just opened in the food court of Intu Lakeside. The menu features smaller versions of some of the popular menu items from the main restaurants (including the 6 patty Son of Devastator at a reasonable £13.50).
I went for the Bacon Cheeseburger at £7.95. It was good. 2 small pattys (think the size of Five Guys), bacon and American cheese. The cheese was generous and the bacon was crisp. As the pattys are so thin well done is the only option (although you aren't asked) - while personally I prefer a thicker rarer patty, I think in a fast food format these thin ones work better.
My companion had the Texan (£8.75) which included brisket. The brisket had a good flavour but was too fatty so a bit disappointing.
We shared a decent sized portion of sweet potato fries which could have done with some seasoning.
As with the main restaurants, there is a selection of sauces on the table. My favourite is the chipotle barbecue Kansas City.
Not a suitable restaurant choice unless you're a meat eater! read more
