  • I like barbeque. I'm also from the south. This makes me very picky about what I consider to be good barbeque, which consists of pork and sometimes chicken. "Barbequed" beef brisket is an abomination no matter how much shills from Texas claim it's real barbeque. Since I spent most of my childhood in North Carolina vinegar based sauces are what I grew up with, very different from the ketchup based sugar laden sauces found commonly in the midwest. Which is why Black Dog is probably the best BBQ place in the Midwest- yes, even better than the overrated and overhyped Oklahoma Joe's franchises in Kansas City. First off- I really dig the new Champaign location, which according to other reviewers used to be a train station. It's a large enough feeding trough to accommodate the busiest of rushes, much unlike their original Urbana location which could feel cramped around lunch and dinner. The meat here is fantastic. Get the burnt ends if they are available. They are perfectly cooked to melt in your mouth, with just the right amount of fat to make it a rich experience without it being cloying or greasy. Other delicious items include their ribs and rib tips, as well as the pulled pork. What they really excel in are their varied sauces, from the abovementioned sugar sauces favored in the midwest, to a georgian peach variant as well as my favorite carolina sauce with a vinegar and mustard base. No other BBQ place I've been to in the midwest has come close to replicating the childhood nostalgia of drenching a pulled pork sandwich in a spicy, tangy vinegar bbq sauce. While I was eating a single tear rolled down my cheek and my mouth waters at the thought of it. The sides here are far from an afterthought too. Their seasoned french fries have just the right amount of salt and crunch to make them the first side to disappear if shared with others. The southwest potato salad packs a wallop in terms of heat and works perfectly with the rich, smoky BBQ. Oh and one last thing. They also serve Cheerwine, truly the nectar of the gods and soda of kings. If you're ever in Champaign, you owe it to yourself to go to Black Dog and eat until you get the meat sweats.
