Always a tradition when we are in Inlet. Great food, great atmosphere.

Cozy atmosphere, great service. A charm that cannot be denied.

Great beef barbecue and sweet potato fries.

Great place! Excellent food and atmosphere!

Holy hot!

Excellent food Friendly people Accommodating Staff

Just curious ...was this place ever known in the past as the Trailhouse?

Been coming to Red Dog for 40 years, never disappoints.

Great atmosphere and great food.

Great food, Great Drinks , and Great Service!

The wings are a must have..... Delicious

This place is always packed and for a good reason.

Great food and service!

This has been my favorite go to since I was a child

Always great food!

The wings, burgers and salads are great. Can't wait to try the famous Prime Rib on a Saturday!

Estimated wait time was 40 minutes, but they got us seated in under 20. They were very accommodating for meal modifications based on dietary restrictions.

This is a great place for some great comfort food. Drinks are strong 💪 loved it.

We had dinner there for the first time the other night very good food and excellent service

Wings are great! Cheese burger was good too!. Small place with good service.

Good food, nice atmosphere, good service, pricey but normal for a tourist town.

First visit. Outstanding food and great service. Looking forward to going again.

Wings and pasta as good as always!

Great place to eat! Best wings I've ever had!

Always LOVE coming here. Food and drinks are ALWAYS GREAT. SERVICE IS ALWAYS WONDERFUL!!

Great place, great atmosphere! 👍

Great place to stop at,whenever I'm in the inlet area can't beat the food!!

Absolutely terrific burgers, ambiance, music, & service. T-shirts are cool too!

We did not eat but had a few drinks

Just love, love, love The Red Dog Tavern💙😎

Food is delicious, sweet revenge chicken wings Damn Good!

The food and atmosphere are AMAZING! My waiter Chris stone was very hospitable, not to mention easy on the eyes! 😉

We enjoyed a delicious meal! Smoked prime rib, wild salmon, and a sweet dessert, Molten Lava Cake!! Great service and ambiance. We will be visiting again!!

Wonderful restaurant and bar. The help there was very nice and attentive. I'm definitely going back.

This place is top notch. A jewl in the Adirondacks. I have never been disappointed about the food or service. Few places up here have good food or service, and this has both. The new owner is highly personable and great. I hadn’t been here in 7 years and visited this past summer, the food was as good as ever and just like I remembered it. Not kidding about the food, nobody has better food up here, hands down. Don’t waste your time with any other restaurant, you’ll be sorry you did. Get there early to avoid the lines and the rush (probably the only negative).

The food here is excellent, more in the style of home cookin' than haute cuisine, comfort food in a warm atmosphere. The staff are great- a special shout out to Lee, who has taken care of my family for years. A real taste of the real Adirondacks.

I come to this place at least once a year for vacation dinner. This tavern has a full bar, great wings and blooming onions, and a decent menu. What I find charming about it is that the place has, in my opinion, a city tavern atmosphere, with a small town charm and rural, Adirondack surroundings. Their wings have 4 levels of spiciness, from mild to "Armageddon." Family rumor is that my uncle had a basket of Armageddon wings and, as a result, had first degree burns for at least a week. They sell bottles of their Armageddon sauce and t-shirts. I would recommend this place to all of my friends and co workers. Also, I will definitely be here again in the future.

The Red Dog remains an ADK classic! Jerry, who will remind you of the late Robin Williams in both looks and good humor, has been running (literally) this place the for last 3 years. He has only made it better. The Dog had perhaps the coziest feel of any local establishments....the flags of many countries are still suspended from the ceiling and all the food is really good and tasty. Roman candles are still on the menu but I always return to the Salad Diane in honor of the former, fun owner. It has to be the best salad ever and will fill you up! Our waitress was Sara who was fun and full of energy. A must stop!

We absolutely love this place. Food is high quality. You never leave there hungry or in any way dissatisfied. Helpful hint, get there really early or really late because the restaurant and parking fills up quickly.

Old-time wood lodge with the big beams, lots of brown, green and Adirondack character. Fun place. Great bar. Really good food. Must stop place when near Fulton Chain of Lakes (1st-8th).

Been here a A lot of times going snowmobiling in the winter even though I live in Pennsylvania the best part about this restaurant is when you get to see the foreign nation flags. I just love it. Can’t wait to come back this season

We stop her every summer while on vacation and great food every year! Be sure to try their hot sauce. Salads are huge and wings & burgers are outstanding!

Best food I've ever had would recommend i will say, don't go over medium for their burgers they get way too charred.

We don't get here very often but enjoy every time that we do. The Roman Candles are always phenomenal - this time around we got the Prime Rib special. It was great and we had a really wonderful time. Service was equal to the meal!

Went to dinner here with family while we were up for the week. Everyone was so busy eating that we didn't have time to talk! The view isn't anything to write home about, but the friendly staff and great food make up for it. They were packed but service was efficient. This will definitely become a staple when we come up. I wish we thought of it sooner as we have been coming up for years, but kind of just drove by everytime.

Best Friday night fish fry in the area. Friendly and caring staff, despite being short handed. Even though the Red Dog is experiencing the labor shortage like many businesses, they managed to give great and timely service. Kudos to Amber, the hardest working and most pleasant waitress ever!

Great place to eat, drink and be merry! Loved the owner/cook/bartender/entertainment: Jerry ♡

Been coming to this place since I was 13, I am now 53. Been an annual stop for dinner the night before opening day Archery season. Great place, but I really miss the Buffalo Boats they used to have on the menu.

Really enjoyed the burgers we had here. Service was quick and friendly.

Pricey, but great food and service.

Great home cut fries.

Great place for sharing dinner with friends.

Good food but expensive, closed during the winter

Great place to stop for wings or a burger!

Solid menu great service

Drinks were great! There Cajun spin on some plates was very delicious as were the blooming onion petals we got

One of the better choices in the area.

Was a nice quiet March afternoon. Summer it will pick up and hop while the Lake gets busy with summer fun.

Good food all around, my personal favorites are the pulled pork sandwich and the quesadilla.

Located in rustic setting outside of Inlet NY. Menu limited but delicious. Friendly staff

We like the food here, but it is bit cramped, especially around the bar area.

The wings at The Red Dog were awesome! Too hot for a few buddies of mine. With some cold milk I was able to enjoy 15!!! The Red Dog's wings can't be beat!!!

This was my first visit to Red Dog Tavern. The staff was very pleasant and the food was very good. Reasonable prices. I definitely recommend this restaurant and you have to try the Armegedon sauce.

Very nice food, good service and easy to get a seat around 5 pm. I enjoyed the vegetable burger. More vegetarian and vegan offerings would be nice to see. There wasn't much for plant based eating.

We stop in every year during vacation. Food is very good. I would normally give them 5 stars but this past year we had an odd experience trying to get a table. There were many tables available but they said the wait would be an hour, and wouldn't explain why. We left, shaking are head in confusion. Will try again though.

Good food and generally nice staff. My problem was that I have celiac disease and asked for a gluten free meal (no wheat, barley, rye). So the waitress and I had a long discussion and decided on salads... the salad came out with a big peice of bread on it and full of croutons aka gluten! It was very disappointing that after that whole discussion my food still came out with gluten all over it, poison to me. Thankfully they were willing to make me a new salad and not just picking it up and putting it on a new plate.

This is a unique restaurant in the woods. Fun to take guests to and enjoy their wings and other great food. I have been going here for about 50 years and it never disappoints. Love the atmosphere and the bar.

Food was good, but the wings weren't as I remember them back in the early '90s. I miss the great variety of heats and styles the used to have in buffalo sauces. This place used to have the greatest wings I've ever had. Hoping to get back soon and give it another try!

My fiancee and I stopped in here as we were enjoying central ADK (Inlet, Eagle Bay, Old Forge). Wonderful ambience, and phenomenal burgers. Sadly, they were out of draught beers when we went, for which I have to remove a star, but they did have plenty of bottled beer. I actually opted for wine with my burger, and it was really good, and the red they had on hand (pinot noir) paired very well with my Shroom Burger. I look forward to going again.

Great little spot. Decor was nice, atmosphere was great. But Chicken sandwich was bland, needed a sauce to go on it. Wings were really good. Bisque was ok. Service was good, waitress was really polite. Will go back for For wings and drinks.

A bit pricey for area, but good food.

We didn't have food but just a few beers. It's an okay place that's in need of some TLC.

We haven't been here in years and the wings were good but the sauces were just okay. The mild didn't seem to have any Franks hot sauce and were mostly butter. The sweet and spicy were just a barbecue sauce and had no kick at all. They were cooked correctly. What upset us most was the price. The menu said 10 wings for $12.When we got our bill we were charged $15 for each order. We questioned the waitress and we were then told that they had to charge us more because there is a wing shortage. We were never told before and there wasn't any note on the menu. We were not offered any compensation. We won't be going back. That seems to be a scam.

I have eaten hear a dozen times and never had a bad meal. Steak is great. Its has ok parking with a good atmosphere. Its off the main drag and is missed by a lot of people just travailing though Inlet. Try it out as it is not far from the main drag with better parking that will not frustrate you like in town during tourist season.

Wings were not up to par . Not the best flavor.

The original Red Dog wasn't diner-y and had a great atmosphere and menu. Better hours. Sad to see what it's become.

We were two couples staying in Blue Mountain Lake for a few days & decided to go out for dinner one night. There were no real restaurants in the town where we were staying, so we asked a fellow very experienced guest if she had any recommendations. She told us that the Red Dog Tavern was a "quintessential" Adirondack experience, so though there were some closer places we decided to take the trip to Inlet, about a half hour away. We arrived & were seated quickly. We ordered the "deluxe" nachos for the table as an appetizer, two of us ordered French onion soup, I had a chicken sandwich while the rest of our party had various kinds of burgers. The nachos came out after about 10-15minutes -which was fine - but we no sooner has started eating them when all the sandwiches & burgers were brought out. About two minutes after that, the soup arrived last. When this happened, one of my companions said something to the waitress & she replied, "sorry, the kitchen is very fast tonight." We had a table full of food with not much room left to eat, it was pretty ridiculous. We tried to wolf down the nachos, they had pulled pork as an ingredient on top which ranged in temperature from luke warm to pretty cold- perhaps the pork was heated in a microwave & not properly stirred? I ate my sandwich first -it was fine - then the soup which I figured being the hottest item on the table would stay warm. My friend ate his soup first, & by the time he finished his burger & fries were quite cold. Needles to say he was not very happy & sent them back. They offered to reheat/replace the burger, but having experience in the restaurant business he was hesitant to do so as sometimes "things happen" as they say in the kitchen to food that has been sent back & since we'd never been here before you never know so he refused. The other burgers were Turkey - very dry - & a 'shroom burger ordered medium rare. It came VERY well done & dry. She said it was one of the worst burgers she'd ever eaten. In fairness, the wait staff was pleasant, & when we complained to the manager they took the burger off the bill & the one round of drinks we had. All in all, not good & certainly not worth the trip . As my friend who sent his burger back said to the woman that had recommended this place when we returned to the lodge, "If this was the quintessential Adirondack experience, I'm going to the Catskills next time!" I don't see a way to respond to the owner, so I will add that we were there Monday evening 8/13.

Our second time and our last. Service was horrible both times, issues with meals last year, this year they brought out the completely wrong dinner. That was made right by a drink chip. I'm glad I had a drink comped, because they had the audacity to charge me an extra $2.50 for my Manhattan to be "on the rocks." They charged me an extra $2.50 for ice. We'll never eat here again.

I don't think i've ever had a burger this dry. I can not find any other words

Wings were freezer burnt. Horrible taste.

Friends drove 2hrs to try the Armageddon wings only to be told they didn't have that sauce and wouldn't for maybe 3 weeks. They won't be back.

This place has gone down from the past ... should take Riccos clams off the menu as it now sucks. Chicken sandwich was 2 out of 5 ... dry chicken.

We've been there two years in a row and the service was horrible both times. The wait staff is rude.

Don't come here if you have children...the woman owner/manager was rude and her comment regarding my one year old was uncalled for, as she said after my.baby blurted out , as any baby would blurt out and she said I quote, " this isn't going to work out", I was in disbelief but the rest of the party of 8 heard her say it again after my baby blurted out again she repeated "this isn't going to work out". If you have a problem with children you should advertise that children aren't welcome because they clearly are not! My 3 year old has impeccable table manners and sat quietly and colored.I will never set foot in this restaurant ever again and urge all with children to not even consider it. Note, It's not like there are white table cloths or even good wine for that matter, they only sell wine by the glass.

The wheels are falling off the bus here. Not sure if this is under new management or what but definitely not the same. Mashed potatoes with prime rib inedible. Tasted like rotted garlic. Terrible service to boot. It’s too bad because this place used to be a must do. Unfortunately will not be back unless there are some major changes.

Went in on a Saturday for the prime rib special. Which they were almost out of at 6:00. Ordered their special appetizer of macaroni and cheese bites to share and all 5 of us thought they were gross. One friend ordered a pasta and chicken dish which she had to put a ton of salt, pepper and parmesan cheese on, just to be able to eat it. Been going here for years and it is so hit or miss that it isn't even worth returning. This last visit was all disappointment with the exception of garlic mashed potatoes.

Very dissatisfied with the service charge and asking for a tip when i picked up my food. I knew there would be a service charge. I thought 2-3$ but apparently thats now $7.40! And the fish fry was already inflated price of 15.95! I will never take out again! So no more red dog until 2021. Good luck with such an outrageous attitude. If i could give no stars i would.

Pretty disappointed. We’re visiting a friend’s cabin in Old Forge and decided to order out. Had a large order ($300+). Several items were missing. The food was mediocre. No meals were labeled, so none of us knew which of the same burgers ordered were well done or rare. It would have been a quick thing to do and much appreciated but they did not take the extra effort. We ended up giving additional gratuity on top of the already automatic added gratuity without knowing items were missing. When I called, the bartender woman that answered was rude and did not offer a credit back to the card. Instead said we’d have to come back to get the missing items, which wasn’t feasible. She was rude and literally hung up on me when I said I wasn’t sure and I’d call her back after speaking to the group. It’s just the little things that turn you off to going back to an establishment. I understand you guys can be busy but you made the mistake, don’t be rude. Will not go to this restaurant again.

New owners and the food has gone downhill. They used to have the best wings - crispy like their menu still advertises - but they no longer deliver on the crispness. The soft wings were drowning in the Bert’s Garlic sauce which was watery, lumpy and the minced garlic had a weird metallic aftertaste like the jarred kind. The “Fred’s Alfredo” also looked jarred because it was beige and coagulated and was unceremoniously dumped over soggy spaghetti. The Marinara pasta sauce was also watery. The prime rib (which was $36) was a tough slab of meat thrown on a plate. The food needs more love and pride for these high prices. For an upscale restaurant the servers are nice but clearly need more training. On a Saturday night it was close to empty (Red Dog used to be packed.) On a positive note: +The Quesadilla, salads with grilled chicken, and toasted garlic bread are good + Ambience is still cute The restaurant has clearly taken a dip with the new owners - we’d like to return but they need to invest in training for kitchen staff and servers and go through the menu and just weed out the entrees that are not given the “love” they need. They have too much variety and as a result the quality and consistency really suffers. Focus on doing “fewer things better.”
