Red’s True Barbecue

All the meat!
The food scene has drastically improved in Leeds since I moved to London. When I was a student, we had a choice between a chicken kebab from Lucky’s or a pizza from Gangsters, (where the chicken tasted like tuna). Nowadays students in Headingley are spoilt for choice for awesome food, the best of which comes from Red’s True Barbecue.
After being disappointed at the prospect of an Oak BBQ burger or tandoori regret from Tariq’s, I lumped off to Red’s for a healthy portion of sticky fingers and meat sweats!
I feasted on succulent baby back ribs with a pair of chicken wings that terrified me at the thought of how big chickens can actually get, both choices were excellent. I also ordered some burnt ends, some of which were disappointingly tepid in temperature but tasty nevertheless, and a brownie milkshake that was decidedly average. It tasted ok, sure, but at £5 it needs to blow my mind like an Oreo shake from Byron, and sadly it didn’t come even close to stacking up.
The service was very friendly and attentive, and the food was good. I look forward to visiting the one that opens in London very soon.

I was so glad when the new restaurant came to Headingley as I have been to the restaurant in Leeds many times but usually have to wait at least 30 mins for a table (and I live in Headingley so much more convenient!)
The food is amazing and the service is always great too. The prices are very reasonable for the standard of the food. I would recommend to any meat lover.
