Lovely!!! We really enjoyed eating here. The impossible burger, pulled pork, mac & cheese, sweet potato fries, potato salad, and coleslaw were super yummy! We also had a wonderful waitstaff and enjoyed the sunroom very much on a nice breezy and warm afternoon.

Consistent service and food! I love coming back to visit campus and stop in for lunch! The food is always so good especially the potato casserole and burnt ends! It's a chill vibe, no frills just great food.

I have been a die hard black dog fan since before the days they were downtown, but now that I can easily go downtown and get it, makes this place even better. Not only is the wait staff ALWAYS friends, and ALWAYS helpful, I love this location, it's easily accessible and I feel like we never wait long if we do have to wait a little. As for the food, it's always a win for me, it's seasoned well, it's quick coming out, it's fairly priced for BBQ, my only suggestion is sometimes you gotta get there a little earlier because they run out of burnt ends sometimes and that's always my first choice, the brisket is pretty amazing as well!

Came for the name (swifties know) and stayed for the great food!! I am not a BBQ fan because I don't eat red meat, but Black Dog was soooo good. I had the chicken and it was perfectly juicy, just a little smoky, and fell right off the bones. My husband also got the salmon and it was FANTASTIC and such a unique option at a BBQ joint. We also got the Sunday special jambalaya which was delicious. And the sauces, omg! I had the habanero and the hot Georgia peach sauce and both were amazing. I would have brought them home in bottles if I could. And that means a lot from someone who doesn't like barbecue!

Black Dog provides a wide range of Delicious food and Drinks. My To Go order pictured show cases the quality of meat and preparation that black dog provides. Mac and Cheese delivers a very creamy and rich texture, however lacks flavor 7/10 Their fresh baked, smoked sweet potato is a 10/10 Burnt ends are exceptionally Juicy , full of flavor , and tender enough to fall apart and melt in your mouth 10/10 1/4 slap of ribs : Juicy , Tenderness ,smoked to perfection, fall off the bone while delivering a beautiful smoky flavor.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of dining here for lunch as I was in the Champaign area. I had a pulled rib sandwich with potato salad and I've got to tell you it was mouth watering. The service was exceptional and the layout of the restaurant was awesome. It was my first time I'd ever been there and it won't be my last. Thanks guys See you soon

Would recommend coming sooner than 2 hours before closing as we missed a lot of food on the menu due to selling out, but that is the best indication of a place being stellar is selling out of their fresh food. The ordering drinks system was extremely confusing, but had a really great prickly pear margarita that was quite refreshing. We had a larger group and were accommodated so well by our incredible server and the kitchen! They save us two bowls of the brisket chili, thank goodness! I still really enjoyed what was left - the chicken wings were outstanding, the jackfruit pulled pork sandwich was VERY delicious, I loved the sausage queso. I loved that the slaw was more vinegar based because it cut that BBQ sauce so well! The potato salad was also a highlight. Great place doing a lot of great work with food and lovely people through and through!

Wow wow!! Such a cool place. N the area camping and found this place on Yelp. It's an older building completely redone. The service here is phenomenal and food is delivered quickly. Our chips came so fast with Smokey salsa. Delish! We both ordered combos. I ordered the catfish and the smoked salmon and my husband ordered the burnt ends in the brisket. The combo is the way to go and you get a lot of food. Be prepared to take some home.

What a great place to get something to eat before going to a Fighting Illini game. We came before a Purdue vs Illinois game and we didn't think this place would be so packed. They quoted us a 15 minute waiting period, but it was a lot faster than that. The staff here was great and our food came out super fast. My son ordered their Pulled Pork Sandwich and I ordered their Beef Brisket Sandwiches. I took a bite of the pulled pork sandwich and it was good. I did enjoy my beef brisket sandwich more though. You get four thick cut slices of a perfectly smoked brisket and then served with a side, cole slaw and your choice of bbq sauce. My son and I both chose their habanero bbq sauce. My son got fries and I went with their Mac and cheese. Both were ok, but nothing special. The sauce was amazing though, and with perfectly with the brisket. The price was pretty fair as well and will definitely be returning. I think my son and I have found our go to spot when heading down to Champaign.
