Black Dog has THE best BBQ in the Champaign/Urbana area hands down. Now all they need is a larger space to serve it in, i love the bar setting, but not one that has outgrown its space because of how good their product is. Waits are common of up to 30 mins anytime you go.
As for the food, lets start with the Wings appetizer, delicious smoked wings and the kick of the Carolina BBQ sauce puts them over the top. My wife can't stop talking about how good the burnt ends are, and she must not be the only one because the sell out frequently. Loved the ribs, just wish they had some baby backs to choose from.
All in all you will not beat this place for BBQ anywhere within a hundred miles!
