I always get the combo platter because triple is too much food for me even though everyone will agree that you can never have enough of Black Dog. I always get fries and potato casserole for the sides. For the meat I would get the ribs and smoked chicken. I got the triple platter before and had to save some for lunch the next day. It tasted just as good as it did the night before when it was fresh. \n\nFries and potato casserole: Their fries are just as amazing as Joes fries. It's crispy and crunchy. The way you bite into it and taste the crispiness then potato melts in your mouth is just delicious. OH MY GOD, their potato casserole is always so fresh and never a disappointment. I would always eat it last and it would still be steamy hot as I break into it. I love my potatoes and I've to say they have the best potato casserole in the whole entire universe.\n\nPork ribs and smoked chicken: I usually get pork ribs or rib tips and smoked chicken. I always get the chicken because not a lot restaurants can smoke it the way in which the breast is still juicy and tasty. I always prefer dark meat when I eat chicken, but at Black Dog I always hope for the breast and wing because of the juicy breast. It goes perfect with any sauce you choose or even ketchup! I love ketchup so sometimes I would dip my chicken breast into ketchup. Ribs are ribs and you can never mess them up. They're always just so good at controlling the quality of their food. The food here is super affordable and it fills you up. \n\nI've had their brunt ends before and it was too fatty for me. If you think you can handle the fattyness then I highly recommend it because it just melts in your mouth when you try to bite into it. Make sure you get there when they open for lunch or dinner to catch the burnt ends because they go super quick. Their salmon is pretty good as well. I tried everything on the platter menu and they were all excellent. You can't go wrong with anything you order at Black Dog. \n\nSUPER HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to anyone that loves bbq because this is the place you HAVE TO GO TO. I have yet been to a bbq place that's better than Black Dog. I tried Smoque in Chicago and it was nothing compared to Black Dog."^^ .
