Had three pulled pork burgers at different places here in Central Leeds and hands down this was the best one. The pork was tender, the sauce was succulent, the sweet po was crispy and full. Sauces!!!

The Yorkshire Foodie

Amazing food and great value ! Turn up early or be prepared to wait though! Once you've got in think long and hard about having the donut burger . Check out the Yorkshire Foodie blog post. Read more

The ribs in the starter are MUCH better than the ones in the main, the burger with pulled pork and brisket is amazing! My fave item on the entire menu is the root beer float , close 2nd is cheesecake !

Grace Boyd

The pulled pork was to die for! So so amazing. Get there early, put your name down for a table and go have a couple drinks somewhere else; you might be in for a bit of a wait! (So worth it)

Red's surprised me. Brisket was nice, thick and soft, pulled pork was like any other pulled pork (not a huge fan). The BBQ sauce was tasty but the XXX 666 hot sauce had no heat. Also, FRIED PICKLES!

Kh Om

Probably the best BBQ outside of a family function. Excellent flavours, menu and customer service. Was delighted to hear that they had recently opened one up on Great Eastern Street

Joey Brantley

I had the brisket and burnt ends for lunch . It was excellent! Paired great with their mustard based bbq sauce .

I went for the pulled pork which was fantastic. I can't wait to come back here. Make sure you're ready to wait about 30 mins to get a table. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Although vegetarian food is available (bean burger ) this place will mostly attract carnivores. Beef , chicken and pork are available. Barbecue beans are a fabulous side.

Katie Venner

The cracking comes in a little bag that is so cute ! Definitely a place to try! May need to wait for a table though. Good cocktails too!

John Flitcroft

A great place to go when you're starved, his portions of amazing food. Get the macaroni cheese side, it's practically a second main and is just prefect.

Catherine Storey

The nachos are to die for! I wrote a full review here - http://outsidebeautyinsidehealth.com/2014/05/12/restaurant-review-reds-true-bbq-manchester/

The Juicy Lucifer is amazing. The melt in the middle cheese is great and sweet potato fries accompanied it perfectly!

Evina Diam

Burgers ... I have tried the dirty chicken and the donut one. I wasn’t disappointed! Proper greasy as burgers should be!

Rory Moore

Burnt ends are a great side choice for any of the quality dishes on offer. Top 5 in the UK for me A+++

Chris Hood

The BBQ pit beans are amazing, the staff are friendly and the food arrived quickly. I recommend going at lunch as it can get busy later on.

Ollie Jessop

The Doughnut Burger with Sweet Potato Fries and Onion Rings is unbelievable. Go for it with either a Sweet Tea or a Dixie beer .

Dennis Murray

As authentic southern US barbecue as you will probably find in the UK. Pulled pork was a little dry but had a lot of flavor.

Harry Roberts

Although a little overhyped, the food is very good (lots of fun). Very popular, so time it wisely!

KayJay Clements

The pulled pork and sweet potato fries were awesome! And the waiter we had -Gary I think his name was, was great!

George Street

Stuck for what to have....Then have the Combo Sandwich and chose Pulled BBQ Pork & BBQ Chicken as your filling, it's INCREDIBLE!

James Smith

The #redspitburger is just amazing. Especially the brisket .

Thanh

Can't go wrong with juicy kc wet baby backs . Mac and cheese is pretty good too.

Mark Sandland

Don't eat all day and leave room for the slaw and sweet potato fries . But the meat..... Wow!

Michael Jarvis

Grits were really nice, brisket and pulled pork combo big portion and pretty good.

Krispy

Best ribs in town !! The sweet potato fries and corn bread are amazing sides :) yummy

Plwm Bwm

Excellent food, don't make the mistake of having a starters, it will be too much

Bivin Mathew

Smoked goodness! Pulled pork , pit beans and chicken wings are all winners

Carrie Beesley

Changed my life. Get the BBQ beans side, comes with huge chunks of meat <3

Natasha Economou

David Reynolds

Bucket of bones is big but I could have tackled it! Very nice and excellent service by Stephanie

Carlo Mura

Dinner menu beer and burger for under a tenner 👍

Andrew Tipper

If you can eat a bucket if bones you are a better (or fatter) man than I am!!

Chris Ball

The Feast is an excellent option for 4 or 5 people to share. Really tasty

Luke Ribbons

Just admit it - you're here because you hate your arteries. Just have the donut burger and be done with it.

Andrei Ianovskii

BBQs! Really tasty

Ollie Martin

Portion sizes are enormous. If you can eat and entire bucket of ribs you'd better bring a defibrillator.

Ricardo Seixas

True American fast food . Pull pork is awesome!

Michael B

Get the Pit Beans! burnt ends , brisket , BBQ beans . Perfect.

Jude Cox

Lovely grub. Veggies , the bean chilli nachos are awesome!

Lee Walker

Combo ribs and chicken wings ! Potato salad is amazeballs!

Sean Robison

Amazingly good BBQ . Rivals many American joints.

Robert Spangler

Pulled pork should never have apple sauce on it, ask your server for your pulled pork without it.

jason p

Surprisingly good moist brisket . Would return.

James Taylor

You simply cannot go wrong here. Amazing.

Adrian Cundy

Get here early or preferably on a weekday lunchtime otherwise prepare to wait!

Marc

It would appear that everything on the menu is awesome

Derek Ling

Delicious food. Try the corn bread .

Andrew Bell

We're full we'll call you if you like? Don't bother, if you still need some form of barbecue head to Rib Shakk in the basement of the Corn Exchange.

Aniela Ahmed
