      Felt very welcome.

      After reading the 2 other reviews I was hesitant. We walked in for breakfast with Max and saw another dog so immediately felt better. We sat outside at a low top table and Max sat in the chair. They brought him a stainless bowl with water and ice without us even asking. We will be stopping with him again as it is along our walk.

      Pet “tolerant” at best

      Same experience as other review. small dog on chair next to me, a good two feet from the table. Manager said dog cannot be on the chair. So, I sat on the ground to finish my drink and then left. Definitely not pet “friendly”.

      Definitely NOT Friendly.

      complete jerks and rude
      My 5# Morkie was sitting in a seat sleeping beside me OUTSIDE and the manager said I needed to put her on the ground. Don’t say dog friendly and then be a jerk about me bringing my dog!!
