Red Dog Bar & Bistro

"Just had an amazing experience at Red Dog Bistro in West Jefferson, North Carolina! The food was absolutely lovely, with a great variety of drink options to choose from. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Highly recommend this place."

"I watched the chef come out and cuss out two older people for sending food back. I Am Sure there are two sides to every story, but the actions of the staff were just too much no matter what the story was. People (staff) like that are also the ones that when you are not looking would take shortcuts and carry a grudge behind closed doors, like a kitchen. This is after we waited over an hour for a seat while there were plenty of empty tables available. We also saw another staff member shame the elderly couple to their face. Our food was just ok for the price. Waiting for a table was ridiculous, especially with empty tables everywhere. We won’t be going back after the behavior of the staff and chef, there is just no call for what they did in any situation telling the older patrons “f… y..”. It’s not a place we can trust other people behind closed doors to make a meal and eating out experience, especially as a local. Want a good meal? Go to Craft Bistro in West Jeff, they do it right, and food never needs to be sent back and risk ridicule from those you are trying to pay."

"Excellent service and food is pretty good. There's a very nice craft beer selection as well as an interesting cocktail menu. Overall, a bit pricey for what it is (including the $8 small cup of soup), but considering the lack of options in West Jefferson it will likely do well. We'll give it another try down the road."

"Really good burger. We ordered the southern burger. The onions and pimento cheese were a great combination. If we were to return to find an upgrade to the hamburger buns it would definitely be a 5 star burger. All high quality ingredients but a cheap bun that didn't survive to the end. Definitely recommend their fries. The chips were just OK. Fried cheese curds were really good. The desserts didn't disappoint either. Great beer and mixed drink options available . We will definitely return when we're in the area."

"We love this place. Very clean, personable staff. Love the local historical pictures too. And the local maps, books, etc. If you are vegetarian, they do have several menu options. (THANK YOU!) The lasagna is all cheese as well -today anyway (so if you DO want beef in yours, ask the server?). Pasta’s do not include a salad or bread though. I always order the Black Bean burger with house fries . Around $11.50 now. Unless you like using lots of napkins, ask for the sauce on the side? I’ll try the Eggplant sometime. They also have Fettuccini Alfredo but I’ve not tried that either. Today is the first time I’ve ordered wine here, and I was very impressed with the serving size for $6. Thank you! I usually don’t order wine locally because the glass has about 3-4 Oz in it for $7-$10. Previously, we’ve ordered the pizza too. My husband really liked it. 12” pizza for around $15 now. Double check the hours before coming. They are closed from 3:00-4:00 pm. So nice to come to a restaurant that has repeat local regulars. Especially in a town flooded with lots of non-locals!"
