text: Winner winner BBQ dinner Yes nnWe signed in our group of at and were seated at on a Saturday get there earlynnMy family are sort of BBQ fanatics we had to try different places in Memphis last time we were down so seeing Black Dog rated highly on Yelp we had to go when they came down to visitnnMost of us had some variety of beef brisket while my grandmother also got ribs and my grandfather the chickennnWe thought the brisket was tender and flavorful and not overly fatty We tried some of the ribs too and really liked them Very thick and meaty rather than falloffthe bone style which some people prefer My grandfather said the chicken was good but he did not like the side of cornbread that came with it A traditional southerner this cornbread was more muffinstyle and too sweet for his preferences I thought it was good We also did like the twice baked casserole French fries and sweet potato fries that were on the side as well as the slaw that was on our sandwichesnnService was good but at the end a little slow to take our check due to a shift change not a big dealnnNow come my only complaints Complaint would have to be that Black Dog is pretty stingy with their sauces What came on the sandwiches was hardly anything probably less than your average BBQ eater would like We tried different sauces I believe the hot peach Texas and one other one they all appeared to be good but I really cannot provide an accurate taste test because we had so little of it We also did not want to pay an extra for extra although my father did anyway because he is a sauce maniac My other complaint is that the portion size was probably smaller than most BBQ places for the price Our sandwiches were and they came with one side which varied in size based on what we got I had the casserole which was just a little cup whereas my mom had a decent portion of sweet potato fries I did not leave hungry but I would probably get the combo or platter next timennOverall Black Dog has really great food for its location and I really like how I do not have to go to Memphis to get similar quality BBQ It is nice to know that there is a local place that is very successful and also with great food and beer to go along with itnnIll definitely be back
