- AndreaAug 31, 2024Fabulous for Canines and Humans!
Very dog friendly staff who genuinely love to see the dogs join their humans on the shaded outdoor patio. Ice water was brought to our pup shortly after we were seated, which was great on a warm day. The service was excellent and the food was very delicious. They were also very accommodating to the allergies and food substitutions in our group. We will be back!!
- DebraJun 7, 2024Dog friendly!
The food was great here! My boy got the hamburger from the doggy menu, and there was ice in his water bowl, great for a warm day and the long walk we just did.
- KaylaSep 27, 2023Great location
after spending 4 months planning our honeymoon trip up the east coast, it was crucial for us to bring our new puppy and be able to take him with us. this spot was great for lunch and very welcoming for our fur baby!
- ElisabethJun 3, 2023Nice outdoor seating, great food
They brought our dog a huge water bowl right away and service was great overall. They have a rule that staff aren't allowed to pet the dogs which I personally think is great, especially because my dog gets nervous with strangers and might growl or bite. The food was great and we had plenty of shade, so it was a very pleasant lunch. I'll be back next time I'm in Salem.
- StaceyJul 25, 2022Spacious dog-friendly patio
Our family stopped here while on vacation - 2 adults, 2 teens, and our dog. The large patio is spacious and dog-friendly, and they have a wide variety of items on the menu, though our server said that they no longer have a doggy menu. The service and food was good - we ordered the honey garlic shrimp, buffalo soldier flatbread, pepperoni flatbread, lobster roll, Bavarian pretzels, pub churros, and cast iron cookie sundae. We'd probably eat here again if in the area.
- AlyJul 24, 2022Delicious and dog friendly!
We happened upon this place on a spontaneous trip to Salem. Needless to say it was a great find! They brought our pup her own water bowl and overall service was great. We had the Big Tav and Rodeo burgers. Both were well made and very tasty! We will definitely be back.
- KristenJul 12, 2022Dog friendly spot with good food
They brought my pup his own bowl of water right away which was great because it was very warm out.
The food was great and it was a cozy spot with plenty of space between tables so my pup was very comfortable. - ErinJun 16, 2022Great food, long wait.
Staff was friendly and very welcoming. They brought our little lady a bowl of water and a milk bone right away. Food tasted great, but we waited for it to come out for over an hour because of some miscommunication between oyr waitress and the kitchen about our meals. Totally get it in this day and age. A lot of places are short staffed.
- JenSep 2, 2021Very Dog Friendly

- DawnAug 30, 2021Amazing place

- GillianAug 30, 2021Fantastic place for dogs!
we brought our bernedoodle here for lunch on Saturday and had a great experience. The hostess gave us the perfect table in the shade
and the server (& all the staff) gushed over our pup! They brought her out a bowl of ice water- in a dog bowl, right as we sat down. The servers had treats for the pups too! Bonus points the food is good and the drinks are even better! extra bonus: they have a large gluten free offering (as well as other allergy and dietary offerings) so it’s the perfect place for us with my fiancé having celiac disease - CharlesJul 20, 2021Great Time!
We had dinner here on a Saturday night a few weeks back. The staff were awesome! It was a hot day and we had to wait a bit because it was busy, but the staff brought out a bowl of water for our pup even before we were seated!
During the meal, our pup got lots of attention from the staff, and a few treats as well.
The food, atmosphere was great, and prices are reasonable. They even have a doggy menu. - JessicaJun 5, 2021So welcoming
The day we went was our first day out with our newly adopted pup. All the staff was so friendly and welcoming it made the experience so much easier on me and my pup. They also have a dog menu so I was able to order him a special treat as well. Will definitely be going back!
- RyanSep 6, 2020Great Place in Salem with your dog
Dog menu and water dish provided
- MichelleSep 13, 2019Great Dog Menu
So happy that they have a doggie menu
- RobertAug 30, 2019Best spot in Salem
My wife and I had lunch there with our dog, Lilly. Super friendly staff! Lilly got a bowl of water before we got our cocktails!! 👌 Lunch was delicious. They even have a dog menu, but Lilly is spoiled.. She likes LOBSTAH!! Highly recommended!!
- AdriaJul 23, 2019Very Dog Friendly
We were here after a particularly rainy 24 hours. The patio was wet and no one was on it. We asked if they could open the patio (since the rain had just cleared up) and they accommodated us not a problem. Everyone was super friendly, you could tell they love having dogs around. The food was also excellent and the beer selection is great. A fantastic choice to eat if you have dogs
- BrittneyMore than a year agoGreat place
Food was great, staff was friendly, and they offer dog food if your a bad dog parent and forget to bring dinner 😬
- NatalieMore than a year agoDog menu!
So impressed by this place! They are the most dog friendly restaurant I've ever been to. They offer a dog menu and have dog bowls that they bring to your table for your pup. All the servers stopped by to say hi to the pups and were super friendly to us humans as well. Human food is also great and excellent location. Definitely will be going back here!
- ToddMore than a year agoVery Relaxing Patio
I specifically chose this place because of the prior reviews. Well they were spot on!! Great place, Great Food and Beer selections and they truly love dogs and were happy to allow our dog to dine with us! My brother lives in the area and I will be back every time I visit.
