  Perfect Location, Great Service

  I’ve been to the Dockside at BTI, but this was the first time with the pups. and it didn’t disappoint. Lindsay brought a bowl of water right away. Dogs enjoyed the waterfront breeze on a hot day. extremely dog-friendly place. Highly recommend!

  Awesome place right on the water

  Stopped in here for a late lunch with our pooch.... service was awesome..super attentive to us and our dog, even swapping out her water bowl at one point to ensure she had fresh water, and bringing a cup of ice to keep it cool.. plenty of outdoor seating in the Tiki bar area ......definitely will be back

  Great service!

  We enjoyed a fantastic meal and our dog loved their Doggie Burger which was a generous size burger stuffed with yellow rice. it was warm out and they brought him a clean bowl of fresh water right away. Food, water view and service all excellent. highly recommend!

  Fantastic Experience!

  The parking lot attendant and his dog helped us out from the moment we arrived. Took a seat on the patio and the server arrived with a bowl of water for our dog. They have a dog burger on the menu - but it’s huge, so if your dog is small it’s too much. Super friendly, good food and lots of fun!

  Great Food in a Fun Location

  We dined at The Bridge Tender Inn Bar this weekend, and we can thank our pup for leading us to an amazing spot. Tried their fish tacos, and while both versions were awesome, it was their black beans that really are rave-worthy! A fun spot with or without your dog.

  Nice Setting, Lame Food

  This is a nice place to sit by the water and eat lunch or dinner. Also a good dock to tie up to if you’re bringing Fido by sea. Unfortunately, I have been here several times and the food has gone from average to lousy. They don’t pay very good attention and never cook to order. Everything is undercooked. The service is ok, but we had to repeat requests on almost everything to get what we had already asked for. The outside seating is on crushed shells, so your pooch may not be too comfortable.

  Awesome place w/ 2 dogs (and 2 kids)

  The food was great, the people warm and friendly, and the music made our stress go away! This is a great place for our dogs (one very chill and the other pretty intense), our kids and for us. We will definitely go back!!!

  What a gem

  As we were asking them if we could have the dog sit under our table in the shade, Jarrod said, "of course and we have a doggie burger on the menu"! Sat on the beach, they brought water for the dog immediately, yummy drinks & food with a gorgeous view. Sun and shade. What more could we want? Oh, and a reasonable price....🐾❤😎
