The Black Labrador

The Black Labrador is a British pub-type restaurant located in the Montrose area. The atmosphere inside is a bit dark and dreary, but I suppose they are keeping with the authentic experience. There is also seating outside. We opted to go with the Chicken Tenders and the Fish & Chips. The tenders were okay..nothing to write home about. Fries and tenders were crispy and well seasoned. The Fish & Chips were quite disappointing. My fish lacked and depth of flavor and both of them had soggy undersides that made the whole thing fall apart as I dipped them in the tartar sauce. All-in all it seems like a nice place, maybe a didn’t get the right things on the menu? Although you would think a British pub would have good Fish & Chips...

Very quaint, British pub type atmosphere on the first level with a piano lounge on the second floor Excellent fare with a must try of the Shephard's Pie! This is a nice place to bring a date, dine alone or simply to stop in after work and relax with a favorite beverage from an extensive beer list. Quiet enough for cozy conversation and loaded with British artifacts. Friendly staff and comfortable surroundings. An outdoor area that includes lounging and a playable giant-sized chess set. Great for friends to gather and hang out!

A nice selection of beer with a few favorites like Fullers ESB on tap. A mix of British pub food, breakfast/brunch offerings and regular casual casual food offerings like a fish sandwich, shepherds pie, etc. the outdoor seating area is very nice in the evenings and all day in the spring.

Had to stop! It’s a Saturday and you are out of Guinness & Magners Cider! Unripened tomatoes in a classic spinach salad with cold AF bacon dressing. When bacon dressing is hot it is supposed to make the spinach wilt and is warm to the taste. Hubby had fish and chips and they need to change the oil in the fryer! Good luck! Black Lab the best thing you have was decor and patio, I will give you that!

The Lab has been around for a long time, and not changed at all, which is why I enjoy meeting here w my friends once a month. Quiet and comfortable, a fire to chat by n the winter...and they have a decent selection of British beer, which used to b much harder to find but not so much any more. I think the prices are a bit high for the food and libations but u r paying for atmosphere and location to a certain extent. Parking in garage is comp’d which is nice. It can b hit or miss w the menu at times but the shepherds pie, beef Wellington and the prime rib have always been good. Some tasty sandwiches and soups too. They have a real high turnover of staff here that impacts the service from time to time. Hard to find a classic pub that is easy to get a seat or table for small or larger groups, which is another plus for this joint.

This is a little gem in the Montrose District. Friendly staff and amazong atmosphere, very authentic decorum! I loved loved the chicken soup and salmon sandwhich I ordered it was amazing. Will definitely be back!

Always a consistent favorite. Bartenders are excellent and food is still good after all these years of being a customer. The place feels very warm and homely. Outdoor seating is a nice option too in decent weather. Very highly recommended. ******UPDATE****** Closing for good in mid-December

Great cozy place to sit, chat, drink some beer, and delect in some British grub. Try the steak stew, it the Wellington, and final with the bread pudding after a nice walk.
