    Great Food!

    We were given a water bowl for our boy as soon as we sat down. Great atmosphere and great food! We would definitely come back with the pup.

    Great Location

    My fish sandwich was mostly bread but my mom’s coconut shrimp was very tasty. Very friendly staff and nice view

    Great Dog Friendly Place!

    Some friends and I stopped here with 3 dogs after a long hike at the Dunes and we had a great experience! The staff was so friendly and welcoming, the vibe was laid back

    Highly recommend

    We came here on a Friday afternoon when it was 90*+. We were very quickly brought two bowls of water for our dogs, and the service and food was great!

    Two enthusiastic paws up!

    Great water bowls, service and views of ducks from the patio overlooking the water! The humans loved their lunches as well!

    Still Great!

    We had not been to Bridges for several years. When friends from downstate visited with their puppy Australian Shepherd, Sadie, we took them to Bridges. Great food, outstanding staff who rightfully treated Sadie as the guest of honor. And yes, the Amtrak bridge swung around for an eastbound train on a beautiful sunset evening.

    Pawmazing!!!!

    My humans were traveling home and usually stop at a place called Stray Dog, but oddly enough they don't allow dogs. So they found this place to stop so we could all eat and rest for a bit. Great backstory, totally fun atmosphere, very friendly too me and my humans too! They said the food was pawmazing, especially the perch, crab cakes and some food thing they called mojitos. High paws Bridges!!!

    On our annual doggie vacation, first leg of 2,500 miles of fun for our dog. Loved the great music, waterfront, Caroline our server and seafood. Casual fun for all! Dog bowl of water immediately and specially prepared chicken dish for Mojo!

    Fantastic!

    We brought our Newf puppy to dinner. We had originally tried to go to the Shoreline Brewery but since they dont serve food we were forced to change our plans. I glad we did! We had great food and a great experience. I highly recommend this place and we will be coming back next time we are in town.

    brought chicken to my dog!

    A hearty 5 bones! Great atmosphere outside, casual but not trashy. Coconut shrimp starter was awesome, but what I particularly liked was that when we stayed a while and our dog started getting hungry, the chef was able to cook him a plain chicken breast along with their complimentary dog bowl of cold water. Maybe they'll start a dog menu?! Lol Wish all restaurants were this awesome!

    These folks were amazing, even after our dog vomited (!) right next to our table in the middle of our meal. Both the waitress and the fellow customers were completely unphased-- it was the most relieving response to a potentially horrible situation. Plus the food was really good, and includes vegetarian fare. Highly highly recommend!

    Great Find!

    Great food, great atmosphere on the river, and great beer selection! And they immediately brought a water dish to our table for the dogs!!!
