Review of Black Dog Tavern

The food was delicious but I felt sick after (had the club sandwich) & I called back the next week to double check that the bread isn’t grilled on the same area as the meat and they said IT IS:(! I was assured my food would be safe originally but the lady on the phone didn’t seem to know the exact cross contamination protocols and I paid the price.

If you need to eat here stick with things cooked in the dedicated fryer as I’d assume those are safer. Grilled bread comes with lots of dishes so there is cross contact with grilled chicken, shrimp, steak, etc anytime those are cooked on the grill. Very disappointing as I was excited about being able to eat here.

Part 2: are here again last week and they couldn’t tell me if the soup was gluten free. They said the kitchen said they were “pretty sure” it is but don’t know - which I don’t understand since they cooked it. It’s great they have a gf fryer but have not had good experiences with anything else on the menu.

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?

— Not at all
