  Dog Paradise

  We brought 3 dogs in for lunch after the beach and our waitress brought water & treats for the dogs. The loaded salty hot dogs were amazing! Comfy with lots of shade

  Awesome for Dogs and Good Food

  The waitress brought out a bowl of water for our dogs. The back deck is dog friendly and the gals were able to hang out with us while we ate. We both had the fish and chips. Very good! Would definitely go back!

  A must go in Venice FL

  if you are a dog lover this is the place for you and your fur baby. They have a beautiful terrace where you can enjoy the delicious food this place offers. you have to go to the back of the restaurant where the dog entrance is, wait to be seated and that’s it. they offer to your dog a water bowl immediately. for the decorations you can tell they love dogs.

  Great service, great food, super dog friendly!

  Super fast seating and service, food only took 10 mins to come out after ordering. They gave our dog a big water bowl and treats. Other dogs at the restaurant were seated all together, which made some dogs aggressive but no fights. I don’t mind as long as owners can properly restrain their dogs and dogs are well controlled. Overall, would definitely return! Great way to end a day at the dog beach nearby!

  Clean and very relaxing

  Great food & great atmosphere. Had the crab dip for an app and the Mango Grouper wrap. Wrigley had a grilled chicken breast. Easy to read instructions on the door for how to enter the deck with your dog. Wish I didn’t have to drive, I would’ve had one of their tasty Tap selections.

  Casey approved

  Take your dog around back to dine on the deck. It was a hot, sunny day and the hostess helped us find a shady spot for our Golden. There was a water and bowl station for doggy water. Our server asked if Casey wouldn't like a treat. Would definitely recommend.

  Nice view, good seating

  We've been here twice already, both times with our Havanese, Katie. You go around the back and enter that way....or, sometimes the hostess will let us carry her in (when we the first people there). Terrific view of the harbor and the goings on. Food is excellent. Large portions. Good drinks. Upbeat staff. It can get chilly and breeze because the awnings will block the sun so you will have to sit closer to the indoor part to block the wind but they will sometimes put the curtains down to help. We'll go again.

  This Place Is Great!

  Very dog friendly, but as with most places with outside seating, you can't just march on in with an animal. Tell the greeeter you have a dog. You will be asked to walk around to the marina side of the restaurant and climb a short set of stairs to the huge covered deck overlooking the marina. Lots of room for you and your dog. The food (coconut shrimp) and draft beer selection were excellent.

  Super Dog Friendly!

  Had a good meal on the enclosed deck overlooking the marina. Each table had an area heater which was very comfortable on a cold day. The area was spacious enough that our large border collie could easily lay between the wall and our chairs. Dogs were given a bowl of water. Staff was very friendly and food service was an average weight time. Will definitely go back.

  The Only Thing Salty About This Place Are The Staff

  Chaotic, long wait for service, very sassy service and food was overpriced and greasy. Didn’t make us or our pup feel welcome.

  Complete Satisfaction....

  Old Salty Dog treated our Yorkie Apache extremely well. Gave us outside deck seating options. Brought a bowl of water for him and had a couple of options for him to eat also. Very good experience for all of us.

  I Won’t Go Back

  Two servers were terrifically Friendly. But this is place is half-crazy on its policy. On the table is a laminated list of rules for dogs. Weird. The rules sit under a cute dog bowl. One crazy employee tried to stop me as I was walking out to the deck with my dog to join my wife. “Didn’t they tell you at the front door that you have to walk around to the back of the restaurant with the dog?!” No! They publicize that they are dog friendly. Then in the next sentence they say they have the right to refuse unless they are a service dog.

  Very Dog Friendly

  Very warm welcome for us with our 65 pound bernadoodle. A couple other diners gave us a funny look bringing a big dog onto the patio but our sever was so nice. she said don't worry about it. she brought a big bowl of water and 2 doggie biscuits. We had a hotdog and a beer which was just OK so
  I'm rating 4 bones!

  Dogs

  Asked us to leave because the old people thought our dogs (huskies) were mean because Mya was talking and Nikota was looking at some man. Not dog friendly.
