| - Black Dog has so much good food & good beer. But make sure you have time for the wait. This place is always crowded and there is a line. You go inside and write your name on the list. The wait list does move at a decent pace so you won't be waiting forever. On average, I've waited 20-40 minutes. Meanwhile, you can get a beer from the bar. They have a large selection and used to have flights of beer. Their fresh-squeezed lemonade is so good! There's also a waiting area with a table outside where you can enjoy a beverage.
You can't go wrong with any of the food on their menu. Everything is delicious - from their entrees (e.g., brisket sandwiches, smoked chicken, smoked catfish; my fave: burnt ends) to their sides (e.g., twice-baked casserole, pit beans; my fave: cornbread embedded with bits of smoked meats and beans) to their bbq sauces (my fave: Milo's Mustard; runner up: Georgia Peach). There are daily specials as well. Even if you picked something at random, it'll be delicious.
The space is small for the crowd that it tries to accommodate. It can get hot in the summer. There are booths, a few tables, and bar seating. Two tv's are playing in the already loud & cramped dining room. The wait staff seems constantly rushed because so many people come in to eat here. So they'll get you in and out.
Pro: The food is a tasty 5-star
Con: Crowded, they run out of things
