“ Most times I write a review it's only because it was so bad I have to warn others not to make the same mistake. But black dog tavern is absolutely the exception. Living in Mansfield most of my life and Bellville for a chunk of it as well I'm baffled that today was my first experience here. Me and my wife decided to check it out today. The beautiful scene outside ( in the end of February mind you), amazing food (including an amazing garlic aïoli burger, pasta, apple pie with ice cream and a queso dip better than any Mexican restaurant), and fantastic service, this is a true gem. The burger and fair fries were amazing and only 13.99( when McDonalds you are lucky to get out for $10) and the beautiful wood interior and stone fireplace are a charming setting to eat. I for sure will be back for drinks at their bar or dinner with the wife or lunch alone for that matter, it's just a matter of how quick!! Highly recommend ”
“ Now that's a burger! Get the one with the fried egg. Absolutely delicious and always perfectly cooked. Run down your chin juicy burger goodness. Our family loves the Black Dog Tavern. ”
“ My wife and I stopped in after a few hours on the road while heading back to Mount Gilead. We have not been there in a few years, maybe more than that. That said we thought the service and food was very delicious! The pickle chips were crispy and tasty. Served with a dill sauce. My wife's chicken Parmesan was, huge and delicious. The only downside was that the pasta was not properly drained. My Reuben sandwich was tasty and the accompanying homemade chips were delicious as well! ”
“ How did my review disappear???? Anyway, I have eaten here many times and golfed here at Deer Ridge A few times too. This is a great place to grab an awesome burger. The food isn't fancy, it's just great! The restaurant is spotless and clean. The atmosphere is calming and very "homey" as it is a giant log cabin with beautiful views of the golf course. The staff are always friendly and attentive. My glass has never been empty there. If you're in Belleville, you owe it to yourself to stop in. ”
“ Wonderful service! Gorgeous patio views and good food, too. Amanda was the bartender and even though she was super busy, she talked to us and made us feel at home. The sauces and several dishes are made from scratch. The sweet dill vinaigrette was yummy! The sweet bourbon bbq was also very tasty. I've attached menus photos because I couldn't find them online before we went. My husband and I highly recommend stopping by for a bite to eat. We're not golfers, but the course looked beautiful! Note: the tap handles above the bar don't match what is currently on tap. ”
“ After a long day of hiking, this place hit the spot!! Fun energetic ambiance. There was even a wedding party downstairs. It's located on a beautiful golf course and sitting by the windows feels like being transported away from everyday stressors. I got the Buffalo sandwich with sweet potato fries. It was good. I'm just sad I could save room for the homemade pop tarts Just means another visit is needed ”
“ Made a stop traveling through the area. Part of a golf course. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Food was good nothing outstanding but reasonably priced. ”
“ Great location, good staff, relaxing environment with a fireplace & a great view. We hope to pass by again sometime. We had a group of five & everyone left better than they came. :) Burgers were delicious. Some of the best we've had. Fried pickles were good with their house made chipotle ranch. The kid got Cajun pasta & said it was really good. The chicken wraps were good too. Fresh ingredients. Don't forget your pie! ”
