First, BlackDog is hands down better. I hold no allegiance to any place, only good tasting food. The food here was overall average. I purchased pulled pork platter, a slice of pecan pie, corn bread, mac & cheese, and pit beans, and a couple slabs of ribs from my friend's plate.
-The first atrocity was committed by their mac & cheese--if you can call it that. It was straight up, craft blue box mac & cheese. The semi-long cyclinder noodles with cheese sauce. The same cheese sauce they put on their speciality fries. Of all the dishes, I felt insulted that they'd even call this mac & cheese. Not up to the level of even a DECENT BBQ place.
-The Pecan pie was also insulting. For $3 you get the smallest piece of pie you have ever seen. Should have just went next door to Schnuk's to get a full pie for the same price.
-The cornbread wasn't bad. Pretty tasty, and a very large portion.
-Pit beans were a little bit above average.
-The pulled pork was pretty decent. If you are having a BBQ fix, the pulled pork will serve it's purpose.
-Ribs were extremely dry and burnt. Burnt can be good if they apply a good rub. They, did not.
Overall, if you want some real, legitimate, even decent BBQ, I would just make the trek to Black Dog. Living in Savoy, i thought the opening of this place would be a saving grace. Truth be told, I'd rather drive to Urbana and get some real tasty BBQ food than waste my money here. Not trying to be a jerk, just brutally honest.
Oh yeah, if you order to go, make sure to ask for ample BBQ sauce. They will literally only give you one tiny small condiment cup of the sauce. Not hardly enough to put on your food.
