    Very Dog Friendly!

    We were one of 2 dogs on the patio, it was a great environment. The food was great, the service was good and we enjoyed ourselves

    Ok place

    There is a covered patio and because it was winter we got it to ourselves which was nice. But even though it was a fairly warm day the wind blows through the patio like a wind tunnel so I would not recommend unless it was a really hot day. Also, the place was pretty empty yet it took an hour for us to get our entrees. Thank goodness we ordered an app! Not my favorite dog friendly restaurant patio but acceptable.

    Big portions and so dog friendly!

    There were lots of dog friends when we went! Loved that the seating was under cover so we were in the shade, although the sun crept down into our eyes during the meal. I ordered lasagna and the plate was as big as my head! Everyone enjoyed their meal and they provided some ice water for our pup!

    Perfect for pooch on the porch

    We came here after a hike for lunch. The deck is very pet friendly. It has giant fans, good shade, and is well ventilated, so both dog and human stay cool during the summer! They also have water bowls brought to the table for the dog. Food was delicious, and the staff was great. It was our first time here, and we will definitely be back!

    Great location and very pup friendly!

    This is in a great location with a park across the street. The staff was very friendly and brought over a bowl of ice water for our pup before we even ordered. The food was mediocre, but the staff and the ease of bringing our pet made it worth it.

    Great spot!

    Awesome covered and cool deck for you and your pup. We were brought a big bowl of ice water as soon as we sat down. Food and cocktails were wonderful! Located across the street from a cute river front park for a nice walk before or after your meal.

    Great covered deck for dining

    We read the reviews before picking this place. Food, service and atmosphere were great! Plenty of room for our Siberian Huskies and the large dish of cold water was appreciated by the pups. If they put Frosty Paws on the menu in the summer, it would be a top seller. The Rosemary Kennedy cocktail was delicious and only $8 during their happy hour.

    Great food and service

    stopped in for lunch on the way to Nashville. Food was great and since it was so hot we were the only ones on the patio. Ruby had a big bowl of ice water and both of the meals we ordered were wonderful. Service was great! Definitely dog friendly!

    All around great

    Large dog friendly patio, staff, outdoor access with elevator if needed (our dog had just had surgery). Staff brought him water right away. Sunday brunch was excellent!

    Great food, great patio

    I can't say enough positive things about Foodworks! Their staff were very friendly and attentive, the patio was fully shaded and a nice stop to get out of the sun for a little while, and the food and drinks were top notch! Will definitely be coming back on our next visit!

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

    I wish I could give this place ten stars (or bones)! As far as a place to take the dog, it’s definitely a ten star location!! Even better the food is equally good, and so is the staff!!!! DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE!!!

    Good food and very dog friendly

    we stopped by Foodworks on a Friday afternoon and we were greeted with smiles for us and my pup, Tink. There is a large porch that is dog friendly.

    The servers brought us ice water for my dog. The tables were spaced nicely so no one was stepping on each other.

    I would definitely recommend taking your pup and enjoying a good meal at Foodworks.

    Dog friendly AND great Food!

    Our Boston Terrier was welcomed and quickly served a bowl of ice cold water by our hostess (there is a gate to covered terrace so we didn't have to go through restaurant). I took his small blanket to sit on under the table. Our server was fantastic and the food was exceptional!!

    Great brunch!

    We had a wonderful meal on their patio - I had an Asian chicken salad and my hubby had a wedge salad and wings. Our dog was super happy to join us! They didn’t offer any water but we had brought a collapsible bowl and just gave him some of ours.

    Dog Friendly, Great Service, Great Food!

    My husband went in to double check that they would still allow dogs and the hostess replied, “Oh yes, of course!” without hesitation. Our waitress was awesome! And near the end of our meal she shared with us a recent trip she went on. Very sweet! The food was great! Perry was tired by the time we got to Foodworks, so he just layed comfortably under the table. Highly recommend!!!

    No shade

    They were super sweet, but there were two tiny umbrellas on the patio and was so hot. We ended up leaving because there was so little shade

    Great Experience!

    The patio is dog friendly. The staff are nice and even bring ice water for the dogs (and refill as often as they refilled our waters). The Sunday brunch is amazing and at a pretty good price.
