“ My family and I had lunch at The Family Dog today and were treated like regulars from the time we called to ask about wait time and throughout our entire experience. Service was more than friendly and helpful, the food was great, and when my dad experienced a medical emergency during our meal, the entire staff jumped in to make sure he was taken care of. We could not have picked a better spot for a quick, perfect lunch. ”
“ Such a great menu and everything has been delicious! The Sunday brunch was such a nice surprise. We had Karly as our server and she was awesome! Extra points for being a dog themed restaurant. Great spot for looking at cute pups on the patio . ”
“ There’s a sitcom quality to this bar, a “Cheers” effect palpably felt if you frequent enough. It gets heightened by the likes of Byron the bartender and Brie the server. I’m treated too well by everyone and at it seems unearned at times. Bingo Nights are a weekly feature to behold. The Trivia on Wednesdays conjures a competitive pettiness that can destabilize morals. The live music bestows good vibrations while you’re able to pet a dog on the patio. The bar food is quality , the cocktails well crafted , and the vibes are felt with fidelity and love. ”
“ Fantastic place to eat, food is great, the atmosphere is phenomenal, and I’m not sure if it was the restaurant itself or the incredible service from the lovely brie ! Such a fantastic soul with such a bright energy I couldn’t help but leave there smiling like a dork :) 10000% will be coming back, thank you brie. Keep it up ! ”
