My husband's burnt end sandwich was excellent. The fries were very good. The service was fine. We came in just before 1:00 p.m. There was no one here! I was a little concerned! However, a local was picking up a to go order. The ambiance is non-existent. Although the place appears to be fairly clean, there is so much more that could be done. The floor is sticky, but that may be the painted floor, not spills. The window sills needed cleaning where a few bugs had flown to the light. The restrooms were terrible! The trash can was overflowing! The plunger was moved beside the toilet. And there were shoe prints on the floor! Have a regular (maybe hourly) inspection! Would I come here again? Probably. But, please make sure the restrooms are immaculate!

The restaurant is located at the top of a narrow staircase (there may be an elevator but we didn't see one). You place your order at a walk-up counter. The gentleman who took our order was very friendly and helped us decipher the menu. We both ordered the brisket sandwich. My husband got a platter with the beans and cheesy potatoes. I got the smaller plate with potato salad. The brisket was "shredded" which is not how I am used to on a BBQ brisket sandwich. It was really dry and honestly didn't have much of a smoked flavor. I put sauce on it, but didn't really care for the taste of that either. I would describe it as sweet Heinz 57 sauce. The potato salad was nothing exceptional but tasted fine. Same with my husband's cheesy potatoes. However the BBQ beans were exceptional! Probably some of the best I have ever had. They were rich and sweet with chunks of meat. I wish I had ordered a plate of those! Overall, I wouldn't really recommend Black Dog Bar B Que. But if you go, be sure you order the beans!

It was good but just didn't blow me away, but was satisfying. The owners were very pleasant and willing to help out with the menu. The beans were rather lackluster and the corn bread was served cold. I felt as if the corn bread should have been warmed and served with butter. The sandwich was good and the bun held up nicely. If you're in the mood for BBQ this is an option to check out.

I arrived at 1:00 PM, which I learned is too late to get ribs or brisket, since the locals buy all of it for lunch. Also out chicken breasts. I didn't want pulled pork, so I had a dry chicken thigh and a juicy beef link, which was clearly the highlight of the meal. The sides could have used seasoning and the gumbo was too watery. The person taking orders should do a better job guiding people through the confusing ordering process. Repeating the statement, "If it has a green tag next to it, that means we are out of it" seemed to become a little rude. I watched an older guy spend 10 minutes trying to figure out what he could order. Two other customers walked out. All I could do was laugh at the comedy skit between the customer and the owner. Also, if the order allows two sides, why can't both of them be yams? There seemed to be a policy against getting two of the same side even when the order comes with two sides. Although not a big deal, but I smelled like a BBQ pit when I left. Felt unsatisfied, I so I went to a small chain BBQ place to get ribs and brisket. The lesson is to get there early for ribs and brisket.
