Open to the public from 27th December 2016, cult American eatery, Red Dog Saloon’s, first site on the South Coast saw a record number of diners pack the restaurant during opening week. Part of the brand new £85 million WestQuay Watermark leisure and dining hub in Southampton, in its first full week of trading the restaurant saw a 50% uplift in traffic compared to the previous opening of its Nottingham restaurant.
A family-run business, Red Dog offers a wide range of mouth-watering dishes – from towering burgers and plentiful wings, to flavourful ribs and pulled pork. A pioneer in American BBQ techniques, Red Dog uses only the finest quality cuts of meat to smoke for up to 18 hours over aromatic hickory wood in its US-imported award-winning smokers – making it the go-to place for diners who love authentic American food.
The top five food items ordered so far include the St Louis Cut Ribs, Beef Brisket, Philly Cheeseburger, Bacon Deluxe Cheeseburger and the Wing Sampler. Guests have also had the opportunity to take on the ‘Devastator Challenge’; three 6oz steak burger patties served with 200g of pulled pork, six applewood smoked bacon rashers and six slices of cheese.
Commenting on the successful opening, Marketing Manager, Fabricio Aguilar, said: “We have been overwhelmed by the response to our new restaurant, the people of Southampton have been very welcoming and seem to have an appetite for good American Bar-B-Q. In opening week alone we have been fully booked every day, serving over 4,500 diners. This is a really exciting time for Red Dog Saloon and we look forward to what 2017 has in store.”
Red Dog’s 3,506 sq ft restaurant is located on the lower promenade and caters for 160 covers.
