Reds True BBQ #Manchester's answer to finger lickin heaven

There are loads of blogs on"Reds" to me it's a fun place and was a firm hit with @TheRealSueLee which is high praise

It's all about the love of the grill

You can't go to "Reds" without admiring the grill, the friendly Pit Master let me into his cage and set those flames burning...  The Underground Theme of the Restaurant reminded Sue of her visit to New York, This is Americana at its best. Theres echo's of  cage a fighting ring in some of the decor but the only fight I had at Reds was with those juicy Beef Long Ribs.

The Wait...  We didn't book and had a one and a half hour wait, (it was 19:30 on a bank holiday Sunday night) the friendly helpful receptionist(s) gave us a fast entry slip with our expected time and we mooched off and wondered if waiting was a mistake.  Reds phoned us ten minutes before our expected time and we walked strait back in to our table.  They were honest about the wait which in my experience is often lacking, you really can't ask for more...

A note on the service cause when Reds first opened it was truly hammered and not all the feedback was complimentary, they have been open for a couple of months so the dust should have settled and I can only tell you how we found it.  

We sat down and the service was fast and pleasant.  As always i'm as cheeky as they come and had already asked the Pit Master what was the best today....  We ordered and the experience was spot on, as promised the food came quickly.  Our server was helpful, fun and could sell sand to anyone without seeming even slightly pushy.  

The tray of food looks deceptively normal BUT its' just not... 

The trough lol and I can tell you it was better by far than it looks
Sue had Giant Onion Rings, it's not what I would go for but they were surprisingly good. The #BeefJerky was much as was expected cause I snaffled some @BeatStreetsmcr on one of Reds #FridayFoodFight events.

We were GUTTED cause the pork crackling was sold out but its not as if I need an excuse, another visit is defo on the cards ;-)  

#BadBoy Jumbo Finger Lickin Wings... Where did they disappear to?

Jumbo BBQ Chicken Wings... The eyes say it all!
Sue had a very large pile of Jumbo BBQ Chicken Wings and whilst they are not my favourite cause theres a shade too much vinegar in the BBQ marinade for my taste they were still way better than average and @TheRealSueLee of #SpringRoll fame just loved them...  I have never seen wings as big as these juicy #BadBoys!

The Star just had to be... BBQ Beef Long Ribs

Semi devoured beef long ribs...

I had "two" Beef Long Ribs as recommended by the BBQ Pit Master and they were just so wrong! thick juicy succulent and unbelievably yummy.  I was in seventh heaven and didn't want the BBQ Lovin to ever end... There was a lot of lovely beef for your money and it won't be long before i'm back for those dangerously good ribs...  

A notable mention has to go to the BBQ Pit Beans as recommended by Manchester's very own BBQ Chef Jason Latham @jason78mcr The BBQ Pit Beans were spot on!  And I'm gonna sneak back for Jason's other favourite of Cheese Burger with a single patty n beef brisket. 

NOTHING BUT BONES AND A SMILE TO SHOW FOR IT...

I only ever see bones if @therealsuelee is anywhere in sight lol

If you fancy some BBQ Lovin and enjoy a fun kinda place that won't break the bank "Reds" has to be on your list even the music was good...
