  Great food, great service

  We stopped here on a chilly afternoon. The propane heater on the patio kept us and our Golden Retriever Chow nice and warm. The fish tacos were delicious and they had some great drinks. I had a Sanibel Stoop and a Happy Gator mojito. Our fur baby was served water before we were. Would definitely recommend.

  What a way to start a day

  We used the app to find this place and OMG what a treasure! We were nervous because there were no other dogs but this place did not disappoint! Our waiter started by bringing both dogs there very own water! Very welcoming and highly recommend!

  Dog Friendly

  we were able to bring our puppy with us to the outdoor seating area. He was also the first to get served!! They brought out a bowl of ice cold water for him! Not to mention this is a great restaurant for families. Great drinks and great Kids menu that come with ice cream sandwiches!

  Don't go! Only Tolerates Dogs.

  There was no recognition of the dogs nor service to our 2 well behaved boxers. And when I ordered the babies a hamburger Pattie, the waiter came back and said that the dogs could not eat there. We went ahead and stayed because we had already ordered. The food was mediocre at best. We were expecting much more than frozen fish patties and Sam's Club barbecue. My daughter ordered the crab cakes which came 2 on a plate undercooked and the size of a quarter. I do recommend and will never go there again.

  Great food and shade for pup

  Wonderful food and drinks. Very dog friendly. Huge shaded patio with a nice breeze. Wouldn’t bring a water dish but okay with us having our own. Highly recommend!!

  Hot Diggety Dawg!

  Great ambiance, casual, yet elegant in a simple and accessible way. The menu mirrors the same. Paella and Caesar together with Pinot Grigio and the hot fresh bead mini baguette that came out was unexpectedly delightful. The service was caraway good, and Dadsy should know since he has been in the restaurant box for 35 -plus years. Bring your own water dish though. Read the “service dog” review before writing this, and am happy to report it is no longer an issue

  Amazing experience

  The staff treated our dogs like royalty! Our pups were hot from the beach. Gordy our host aimed the fan at them. Frank our watier got our dogs iced water and refills without us asking. The patio downstairs has a great view. Food was great. I will 100% go back again and again!

  Excellent food and covered patio

  Perfect spot for an outdoor meal when the weather isn't perfect. The staff was very welcoming to our dogs, and the food is amazing.

We dug up 5 pictures of dogs at Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille.
