| - After calling around to all the BBQ places in town, we decided to go with Black Dog for a catering event for 200-300 people. We got 20 lb. pulled pork, 20 lb. pulled chicken, buns, sauce, potato salad and cole slaw. They were absolutely fantastic to work with (for instance, offering pulled chicken even though that's not on their catering menu) and the price was the best around (compared to Famous Dave's, Blues, Lil Porgy's, and Hickory River).
The food was such a hit with the crowd that those of us working the event didn't get a chance to eat much of it, so we went back to Black Dog afterwards and got dinner! The potato casserole is divine, the potato salad is spicy and delicious, and the meat is just phenomenal. I've tried the Carolina Red and the Chipotle sauce, both of which were delicious.
The restaurant itself is tiny and was packed on a Friday night, so while turnover is pretty fast, expect to wait 10-20 minutes if you come at a busy time. The staff is extremely nice and helpful, and food comes out pretty fast, so no complaints there.
Prices are pretty standard--about $7 for sandwich and a side, $10-12 for a platter with 1-2 meats and 2 sides. Definitely worth trying!
