We had a wonderful waitress named Michaela. She made us feel like we were dining at a friends home with how she conversed with us. Her and I are pregnant and due around the same time and she asked how my baby was doing. Etc. she was absolutely wonderful ! The food was just as amazing as always. When we are wanting bbq or smoked foods it’s our go to place!

Love the energy and fun vibe. Love that parking is easy and abundant. Waitress was nice and attentive. Mac and cheese was great. Dad got the meatball sandwich. Meatballs were great, but the hard, crispy, dough style wrap ruined it. Would be 100% x Better in a fresh torpedo roll. Other than that, the food was great.

We enjoyed Black Dog very much! We actually went because I’m friends with one of the singers in the band that was playing there and it was only a 35 minute drive. I’m glad I made a reservation because the restaurant was packed! It’s obviously a very popular and well liked restaurant. I can see why as we had a great table, good service and the food and drinks were outstanding. My husband and I will definitely go back!

Excellent restaurant, got there at 4:45 on a Friday night and the bar was packed. Got a table near the bar. Waitress was great, gave great advice on food and was attentive without being annoying. If we are back in the area I would definitely come back!

I had sweet potato fries that were not good. They didn't look good, they weren't cooked right. They were just not good.
