Red Dog Tavern

Pulled pork nachos are amazing and can be split by 2 for dinner. Good place just overcrowded in season.

Gosh we love this place. Whenever we are in the area we stop in at least once. Great bar to sit at and have a beer or 4, or to sit down at a table and have a nice meal. Very warm and cozy in the winter. Parking is a hassle sometimes but not too bad. Park along the road if you have to.
We've enjoyed each meal we have had here, and the great ambience and terrific service.  Waitresses are always prompt and pleasant.  Try this place out.

Unfortunately, this is not a great spot for families. I expect businesses in this part of the world to be a bit quirky, and this one certainly fits that bill. It's small, and it was hot, noisy and crowded when we were there. The parking lot is very tiny, but that doesn't matter, because it's apparently not for customers. Signs throughout proclaim "Employee Parking Only." Seriously. Customers evidently don't get to park in the parking lot. They have to park along the busy street, which is precisely what my wife and I did with our three young boys in tow. The menu also says something about this being a good opportunity for parents to teach their children proper restaurant behavior. Wow. I know we're technically patrons, but don't patronize me.

The reason this doesn't get a single star is because the food was decent. My son got wings, two of which I managed to wrestle away from him. They were fried quite well, and the sauce, despite being the mild version, was very tasty. My bleu burger was also quite good. The meat was excellent and cooked just like I ordered. However, there was way too much bleu cheese, which made it far too rich and salty for my taste. My wife got the french onion soup, which was average at best (no crunchy topping). Her pulled pork was also quite average - fatty and not the least bit smoky. The service was slow and spotty. Our server came back only once during the meal to check on us and refill drinks. Mine sat empty for some time while I watched her stand there chatting with other employees. Overall, I was quite disappointed, and I won't be going back.
