i went back there for lunch yesterday and brought along a service engineer who's visiting from teyhas. he said blackdog was alright, but that it could definitely be better.

i guess us poor chambanians still don't have truly good bbq. although i'm not going to let that keep me from going back to blackdog for the occasional burnt ends fix :lol:


for ps and ymracing - dude lives in austin, but considers salt lick to be 'just' decent, mostly yuppie bbq. he spouted off like 10 names of places outside of austin which he considers proper bbq, but i can't really remember the names of them right now.



I could care less if its 'real bbq' according to some dude from texas, its good tasting and the meat quality is high. the service is usualy great(unless bobbie is there!)

most people (myself included) say it's the best bbq they've ever tasted, i was just curious how it would stack up compared to places from 'real bbq' states.

Well I have eaten at like 5 places (Famous and not famous)in Memphis, two in Nashville, three in Fla and one in Birmingham Ala and a couple in the lone star state both brisket and ribs and I think Blackdog is right up there with them all. I Do prefer Memphis and Texas style (Sweet)sauce over the black dogs Alabama style (vinegar based) sauce. I have not had the ribs at black dog yet bout i beleive Diane and Paca that they are good. And yes the burnt ends are the best I have had!!!

Best I have had was just outside Austin.. Town called Elgin, TX. Meyers Smokehouse http://www.cuetopiatexas.com/
Everything I tried was excellent!

Blackdog does ribs and brisket very good.

Meyers definitely beat them on chicken.

I have had all three of their sauces and I like them all but I still prefer memphis sweet sauces hot and mild. I didn't mean to knock their sauces they are very good. :idk:

I might still make it, but it will be hard to get out of the house so soon again as I am sure my wife will some husband-is-actually-home-time, which is getting pretty rare
