I'm not much of a meat eater, but Black Dog could change my mind. Their barbecue is just succulent. I am partial to the burnt ends sandwich with a side of their zippy potato salad. Their garden salads are good too and made with local artisan greens. Beer aficiandos will find a wide selection....order the flight of 6 samples to find what you like best.
Two caveats: the wait for a seat can be very long and there's usually congestion at the front door. They need a space three times bigger than what they have now. Also, don't ever try to order vegetarian stuff. There's hardly any on the menu, and what I've tried isn't impressive. But who goes to Black Dog to be a vegetarian, anyway!
