Black Dog Smoke & Ale House

I will start by saying that I am from close to Memphis so my idea of great bbq is different than most who will be eating here.

I wanted to leave a 4 star review based on the fact that the restaurant did not have chicken tenders for children but that wouldn’t not be fair to them.

Family friendly environment, we had an 18 month old and a ten year old with us, and the wait staff was very good.

My party had the following food items: beef brisket, smoked chicken on the bone, pulled pork, ribs, southwestern style potato salad, twice baked potato casserole, and fries. I sampled some of everything and it was all REALLY good. The potato salad was unique and wish I would have gotten another serving. The sauces we got were vinegar based. I was not a huge fan so I ate the ribs how they came which was fine because they were great by themselves!

I heard so many wonderful things about Black Dog, and when I finally came here myself I was so impressed. The food and atmosphere are great, and the staff is friendly and attentive. I got burnt ends and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for some good food and great service!

Never disappointed! This place is a must! The Ends are a must, the chicken salad best I've ever eaten, my husband ordered the rib special it was absolutely amazing! The staff all work as a team and are so friendly and efficient! Highly recommend!!!

ALL the food was exceptional! I had the beef brisket sandwich with twice baked potatoes and broccoli. Other members of our group had burnt ends, the salmon, pulled pork, chicken etc. Everyone was satisfied and happy with their selection! A variety of BBQ sauces available too. The service was also outstanding! They do sit you down only when your whole party is there, so plan accordingly or you’ll have to wait

Was a great place to eat. I had the "try three" with my wife. Blackened tips, pulled pork, and pork ribs with a smoked sweet potato. Was amazing. The vinegar sauce was not to my taste, but just the meat dry was more than enough for me!
