I've been hearing about the hype around this place for almost a year now…read more I started working in Booneville a little over eight months ago and Black Dog Meat Co. always gets brought up anytime the conversation drifts towards dining out and/or specifically remarkable places to eat locally or at least nearby. Due to being closed on the weekends (which I totally get, family is important) I hadn't had a chance to dine at Black Dog until recently when Booneville hosted a Totality Eclipse event. It was a pleasant surprise when I noticed they were open outside of normal business hours and I told my wife we weren't leaving until I got to order from the "legendary" town sandwich shop. We walked in to a rustic chic dining area adorned with family pictures, portraits of the dogs that served as the diner's namesake, and quirky bits of The Office memorabilia. Right away the decor, the lighting, and the overall upbeat mood of the little eatery evoked a strong sense of down home, authentic Americana. I couldn't wait to order. It didn't take long to decide which TWO entrées I wanted to devour, the menu is condensed and offers the exact amount of variety for such a place, but it DID take a few minutes to decide between the Chopper's Reuben and the Triple Pepper Burger. Both descriptions made my mouth salivate as I read through them, but I think in the end the idea of trying the famous smash burgers they're known for won me over as I opted for the latter. Don't get me wrong, I love a good Reuben probably more than any other classic sandwich and I'll definitely go back the minute I get the chance just to experience that, but I couldn't resist the mouthwatering description of a smash patty adorned with Jalepenos, chipotle mayo, the renowned Black Dog signature sauce, along with so much more. Ordered with a side of fries and a soda from the cooler, I waited impatiently. Partly due to being hungry after walking the blocks all day and partly due to finally getting a chance to form my own opinion about the place, I was chomping at the bit to get my burger basket. It didn't take long at all (even with a fairly packed dining area) and when the young lady who took my order brought my food over she barely had a chance to place it on the table before I was digging in and chowing down. Needless to say, it exceeded my every expectation. The bun was warm and fresh and tasted like it came straight from the oven. The perfectly balanced crispy and tender meat fritter was award worthy to say the least. The toppings: simply phenomenal. Quite a lengthy description on the menu led me to wonder if it was gonna be too much as the various flavors might end up struggling to present themselves enough to offer a distinguish taste, but boy was I wrong on that account. In addition to the others I mentioned earlier, the Three Pepper offered French fried crunchy onions, pepper jack cheese, and sriracha sauce. Of course, the distinct Black Dog sauce was the figurative cherry on top. Both equally discernible and delicious, I had to ask for a ramekin full to dip my fries in. Not that they needed it, by any means. The fries, my goodness the fries. if I had ordered from an Oscars party these would've taken home "best supporting actor to the main entrée". A perfectly golden yellow and crispy exterior with a warm, almost velvety interior, these little potato sticks almost stole the whole show. Seasoned with a savory blend of various spices and simply amazing in their own right, I couldn't get enough of the deep fried frites. In addition to the full flavored sauce that defines Black Dog, the fries should be considered a signature staple of the diner considering I've never tasted any as good as theirs before. A very welcoming atmosphere with a wholesome, family vibe, exceptional customer service, memorable food that deserves all the praise it receives, and an exceptional homemade signature sauce that needs to be bottled immediately make Black Dog Meat Co. a must stop for anyone in Logan County or even remotely close to the area. You won't regret it.

This small building is about 130 years old, and the there's a modernized 1890's vibe here, playing 1970's music overhead. I'm not sure what I liked better: my bacon cheeseburger or my slice of chocolate pie. The burger was two (seemingly) mini meatloaves, perfectly seasoned, topped with fresh lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles. The cheese was bubbly. I found the bun somewhat weak for the job it was trying to hold together. Collapsed into itself at one point. The bacon was fine (isn't it always!), but just not my favorite. The home-made fries were potatoey perfection. My grandmother passed around 1982. If she were still here, I'd be forced to tell her someone makes a better chocolate pie than her. At least I avoided the cussing and getting walloped by a broom. The crust was buttery and of perfect firmness. The chocolate cream was covered in heavenly whipped cream, I assume homemade. Will absolutely be coming back in the Fall, for the leaf show. And a burger. And that pie. Great staff also. Very welcoming, including the owner.
