Black Dog Smoke & Ale House

Twice in the last week I have went here and both times I have been extremely disappointed. First time I went the waiter was clueless and consistently got everything he could wrong. Wrong drinks and couldn’t even follow simple instructions. We ordered and it took an hour to get our food which we understood because they were busy but when the food came out we were told that we got what they had left because they ran out of what we ordered and the waiter acted shocked that no one had advised us. We only got checked on a couple of times and he told us he was going to remove the wrong meal from the bill (which he didn’t) We decided to try again today, we got seated and got our drinks and the waitress didn’t bring any straws (same as the last waiter) and we had to go get them ourselves because obviously they weren’t very concerned with offering it. We got our food and once again did not get what we ordered and then the waitress had an attitude that we even asked about it. The catfish was room temperature at best and the “burnt ends” were flavorless. I am happy to say that I will not be returning to this place and it’s sad because at one time this was an awesome place to eat

Charging $.75 for each mini sample of sauce is crazy! I hadn’t been to Black Dog in a very long time but the food was just ok and $71.05 for two people (two platters and two drinks) is unacceptable imo. I will never go back.

Food quality has really gone downhill. Rib tips were completely inedible. Salmon was very fishy. Cornbread was stale and tasteless. Turkey was okay. Would not recommend.

Had family lunch here & enjoyed the ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. Pit beans were a favorite. Wished we had got the cornbread. Overall a great experience

We had the burnt ends, twice baked loaded potato, cornbread, then an order of spare ribs, brisket chili, and the pit beans. All of the above ✨chef’s kiss✨. My fiancé said the cornbread here is the best he has ever had! 10/10

Very good food and good attention from Miss Tayler.

The BBQ and sauces are excellent, served with craft beer. The location can be hard to find for non-locals. Definitely worth the stop.

Brisket and burnt ends are delicious as was everything that we tasted. We sat in the outside area on a beautiful day so everything was perfect.

On a somewhat busy Sunday, we party of 2 were seated immediately upon walking in. The server came over and quickly addressed our beverage needs. Excellent choice of beers. The jambalaya was the Sunday special and it was outstanding! Had burnt ends and pulled pork. The hot peach bbq sauce was the boss.

Location is in an old train station, right next to active Canadian National tracks.
They have heated outdoor seating, but we ate inside. They have a huge beer menu but also interesting other drinks (grownup plushies, cannabis cocktails). They have a nice ratio of meat to non-meat foods ("pulled pork" jackfruit is a fantastic substitute), and we really enjoyed what we ordered. All food came out very quickly, it was excellent, the service was fast and friendly. We ordered pulled pork, mild Georgia peach barbecue sauce, baked sweet potato, crispy french fries, and a couple of excellent beers. We don't live near here but if we did this would become one of our favorite restaurants!

Great atmosphere, great service, the staff was wonderful. We had the dry brisket.....we didn't even ask for them to dry it out for us...it just came that way. I ordered the salmon... thankfully it wasn't dry but neither of the proteins had any seasoning whatsoever. I cannot recommend the food at all. The brews were fair at best. Other than the cool building and exceptionally nice staff, I cannot find a reason to return.
