Get ready to unleash your appetite because this year’s best barbecue will have you barking for more.
Black Dog Smoke & Ale House continues to impress Champaign-Urbana with its delicious food and charming atmosphere. Located in downtown Champaign on the corner of Chestnut and Main streets, this train-depot-turned-restaurant is a local favorite.
Its menu features everything from tender ribs to slow-cooked burnt ends, which sell out quickly. Complete your entrée with one of its barbecue sauces, like the mild Texas Sauce or the hot Georgia Peach. Don’t forget to throw in a few sides — the house cornbread and twice-baked potato casserole are must-tries.
While this barbecue joint is known for its selection of freshly prepared meats, it also provides several vegetarian options, ensuring something for everyone.
Black Dog Smoke & Ale House is open every day from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., supplying barbecue fans with a place to fulfill their cravings with top-notch cuisine. Be on the lookout for the return of the Urbana location, set to reopen in winter 2025.
