Located in a strip mall in a place where many other restaurants have failed does not lend itself to being a good location to open a successful place BUT once you taste the BBQ you'll know why I rated this place as excellent. The decor might not win you over either, it's not bad but it is rather a wide open space with hints from all the previous incarnations. What will win you over is the authentic smoked BBQ selections. No shortcuts here, this place does it right with lots of bark and deep smoke in the meats. The menu is extensive from ribs to brisket to chicken to turkey to sausage to wings and probably more that I'm forgetting. They have 6 sauces on the table with descriptions of each on the napkin holder and I have a hard time picking a favorite so I normally use 4 or 5 on my meats just because they are so good. They have some great sides too. I highly recommend the potato salad. I'm hoping it will begin to get enough word-of-mouth to keep it busy and break the curse of the location. I believe the Black Dog has been the #1 BBQ place in town for several years but this place has it beat in my opinion by quite a bit. There are no crowds (yet) and the prices are better too so skip the high priced, wait in line place and come here for much better authentically smoked BBQ.

Sept 18 2019.Come to the C-U to visit a friend. She brought us here and said its the best BBQ shes had in the city. It was hot and i wanted dessert first, so i ordered a virgin strawberry daquiri. The waiter brought something that looked like he added strawberry mix to a lemonade. He could have just said they dont have those instead. So i got ice tea.food came to the table super quick.. but it was the wrong order. it was for another table. Our order came shortly after, but i ordered sweet potato fries, and got a sweet potato. THe BBQ was really good, but a smaller portion than i thought it would be.The (male) waiter got my (female) friend a refill, never offered (male) me one. When the bill came, it was on this tablet and i couldnt see the individual charges, but i knew that $58 for two people was wrong. it was once again something for a different table. When he came back with the correct table, as i was paying $38 still seemed high, so i asked for a printed receipt, to find extra charges. Space cadet waiter must have seen the zero tip, as the manager came over and apologized for everything and comp'd the entire ticket. ( charges actual were reversed on my bank statement, so they got THAT right at least.)It'll be a little while before i go back to Champaign, but i'm 100% sure i'll never set foot in here again.

My wife and I don't relish the thought of eating barbecue in a restaurant. It's messy enough at home, two or three napkins, sometimes more. But we have heard so many good things about Black Dog Smoke & Ale House that when we had an opportunity to see if it's as good as advertised, we couldn't pass it up. According to most restaurant critics, Black Dog produces the best tasting barbecue in Illinois, maybe the entire country. They opened their first location at 201 North Broadway Avenue in Urbana, Illinois, in 2009. It was so successful that they opened another location, installing a wood-fired smoker in an old train depot at the corner of Chestnut and Main Street in Champaign in 2015. We visited the Urbana location and agreed the barbecue was unlike anything we've ever tasted. We started with smoked chicken wings tossed with Carolina red BBQ sauce and served with celery and smoked bleu cheese dressing. Then we couldn't resist Blackdog cornbread, two cornbread muffins baked with green chiles, pit beans, cheddar cheese and pulled pork. Then we shared a full slab platter of St. Louis style pork spareribs smothered in BBQ sauce with French fries, potato salad and slaw. And we washed it all down with mugs of strawberry lemonade and Goose Island root beer. No wonder everyone in Champaign-Urbana is talking about Black Dog Smoke & Ale House.
