    5 Bones For Sure!

    Wonderful menu and very different from most . We were really hungry after driving today so we had Ramen, tacos, quesadillas, edamame and chips/dip. Wait staff were dog lovers and Mac loved the dog menu for dinner. BTW, the sangria was some of the best I’ve had. This place is huge and you can tell from how many tables that it must get crowded at times but we came early. Loved it!

    GREAT location!!

    The food and service were incredible. They have an entire back patio section that was great for the pup. They also brought her water without request and gave her lots of pets - she loved it.

    I will note - if your dog is extra fond of birds and likes to chase them…come prepared! Lots of birds fluttering around, but it didn’t bother us at all.

    Made for dogs

    area in the back is shaded, large, and better than eating inside. They have a dog menu that has profits go to a local k9 charity. They bring dog dishes and have an outstanding menu and local beer selection. Best dog friendly restaurant in the area.

    Not dog friendly all the time

    I’m sure this is a great place to bring your dog when the patio is open. Unfortunately it wasn’t when we arrived at 7.15pm on a busy Wednesday night. I wouldn’t have been so annoyed if I hadn’t messaged them on their Instagram the week before and asked if the patio was heated as we were looking to come in the evening. They just replied to tell me that it was, nothing was mentioned that they closed it some nights and to check ahead. Going out with dogs is not easy and requires some forward planning so it’s very disappointing to be let down after checking ahead. No possible solutions were offered either (we were only in town for the night but luckily this app helped us find an alternative). I would just advise anyone to call ahead before visiting with their dogs as it’s only dog friendly some time!

    Awesome patio and dog friendly

    They have a great outdoor area with tons of seating. Awesome brunch spot. Food was delicious and they even had a dog friendly food menu for our pup. Service was great. They bring you a bowl of water for your pup too. Can’t wait to return.

    Happy puppy

    People food is pretty good, but love the outdoor space with all the games and dog friendly grounds. Our dog loved the puppy menu. She ordered the tempting turkey. The waiter even presented it with pizazz! We were all very satisfied and we highly recommend this place!

    so wonderful!!

    We had our first visit yesterday and we absolutely loved it! Everyone was so friendly and our Jax loved his menu options! The portions for the dog menu are very generous; he couldn’t finish his all. Our server brought us all waters when we sat; including a bowl of water on the tray for our boy. He got lots is snuggles and love and our kids had a blast playing jenga! Menu is diverse and prices are great. We’ll definitely become regulars.
