Red Dog Saloon in Hoxton... anyone been ?

[ls3steve]

Me and a few of the guys from work are going to head here soon to try out their Devistator Burger, not going in for the 10min challenge but just to see if we can finish it. Also tempted with their super hot, hotwings

The hot wings are hot on a whole new level.

The reasturant is what it says on the tin, good fun for a few blokes, i wouldnt take a date there though..

yes i've been. Didn't do the devastator burger, but went for the BBQ. Even made a special trip all the way to London to go!

Wasn't overly impressed. I'd give it a 6/10 and definitely not worth a special trip there. My local cattle grid blows it out of the water for ribs and pulled pork!!

A friend went there recently for the Devastator, he said it wasn't all that big and he finished it easily. He was also less than impressed with the service.

It's not the size of the burger but the 10 min time limit to finish the burger fries and milkshake. Just order it, take your time and enjoy it instead. I thought the service was good but does get busy during lunch hours

Going there for lunch tomorrow (work around the corner) and never been before. Looks nice from the pictures though!

Look up 'Burger Gang' on Youtube. Quite a funny video of two lads attempting the devastator burger AND the hot wings in one sitting.

The hot wings look particularly nasty. Anyone done them?

[Lardydah]

It's ok, as said above, good for a few blokes after a plate of ribs but not if you want anything special! Don't try the hot wing challenge either.

Don't think the service is up to much if it's busy, we were a party of 6 and it took an age to get a round of drinks.

Thanks guys..

will be trying it out in a couple of weeks for lunch. fingers crossed its not too rammed when we get there.

i went on monday, had the bacon cheese burger and a plate of wings.

was good, not the best burger in london but its not the worst either.

I saw a guy polish off a devastator then a plate of the hot hot wings, he had gloves on for the wings.

No way, man! I was there with some bookies last year and they egged me on to try the wings... I usually don't cry, not even when my mother died, but fck, the wings made my eyes water - had one and gave up... Had the Devastator afterwards and it was OK, but not as nice as the burgers served in the Big Easy...

Big Easy...

This, infinatly better....After hearing the general sentiments of here from others we are heading to Bodeans tomorrow (Big Easy fully booked) which has a similar food offering but no 'challenges' of note.

If you want a discussion point and quality food over quantity try the Tramshed (I think) in Shoreditch - for the fermaldihide cow suspended from the ceiling.

Meat Liquor's burgers are great, but to my mind nothing, however special is worth the queues that built up after it opened. Go at a quiet time and it's brilliant. Pitt Cue has fantastic tasting food, but you'll leave hungry. Comedy small portions.

Hipsters dont get junk food. It may taste great, but I want to leave feeling violently sick in a good way. Barbecue should make you worry if you'll fit through the door on the way out.

You sir are correct.
