| - This place is a total rip off. Someone goes and makes a successful business and then someone else comes along and totally steals their idea.
You know how I love Urbana Black Dog, right.
Well, On Wednesday kridz and I decide to go into "black dog smoke and ale house" in champaign.
This place totally stole the idea of what the urbana black dog is. They took the logo, the name, the menu looks exactly the same (what kind of corporate spies did they employ to make the menu look the same!!!). Heck, I even recognize some of the wait staff, so they probably poached them from the urbana black dog as well!
We walk in and get seated at the bar, look over the menu, and what do you know, just like the business in urbana that they are stealing the idea from, they are low on burnt ends (how original champaign!) There are like 4 things they are out of. It's a plot to make this "black dog" appear to be just as good as Urbana. I WILL NOT BE MISLED!
Just like urbana, whenever they are low on items the working crew shouts out how many are left. Then when something is all gone "86'd burnt ends"! Come up with your own gimmick already!
I guess the food was ok. Considering it wasn't the REAL black dog.
I guess the liquor selection was ok, as was the beer selection, but Black Dog, this place ain't!
(edit; I've just been told this place is owned by the same people, so nevermind)
