Red's True Barbecue - Newcastle

Shannon Ryan

Found this place by accident whilst looking for somewhere to eat, and whilst not usually a fan of smoked meats, thought we would try it out. There were minor things which could be improved with our meals, but all personal taste quirks that anything wrong with them. Overall easily 8/10 for the whole experience. It was a Monday lunchtime, so fairly quiet period. Friendly service, staff keeping check on us throughout. Starters were served quickly, and mains were nicely spaced from when we had finished our starters, which is always a plus!

Excellent service. The man serving us was really helpful he made sure he gave us time time to look at the menu and kept checking in on us. We had booked so were straight in, but the place was pretty quiet then anyway. Food was amazing. Some things were sold out but we were told straight away. The meal I had was meant to have brisket on, one of the things that wasntt available, but he sorted that so I got extra pulled pork instead. The milkshake and cocktail I had were lush too! It's a great setting. Friendly. And the food is great. Just make sure you're hungry as it's very filling!

A pretty good BBQ experience for the UK... The brisket was good (although I could always do with more!) the jalapeno and cheese sausage was pleasantly spicy (although purists will decry the cheese in sausage trend that is happening here and in American BBQ). The burnt ends were a little chewier than I'd prefer, but are basically just little bits of meaty BBQ sweets! Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!
