We went at a pretty slow time of day (around 2:30 pm) so it was really quiet and there was only one other dog there. I’ve got one very shy dog and another who is pretty new still and suuuuuper excited about everything, so the chill atmosphere was perfect for both of them in different ways. They got a bowl of water, and I’d brought my own blanket so they weren’t on the gravel, but it does look like they have blankets there too. Staff was really nice and great with the dogs.

great food, small but really nice outdoor seating area. Plenty of shade, and they have a water bowl out for dogs. They also sell homemade beef jerky for dogs! Excellent spot, will definitely be coming back.

Good beers, small but good menu for fancy hotdogs, paninis and pizzas. The outside patio was spacious and really nice. They had a water bowl out for dogs.

This is a pretty nice place--a lot of the trails are wide gravel roads big enough to drive a truck down, but there are narrower, more rugged trails if you do a bit of walking. There's a pheasant stocking field off of Stewart Road (southeast parking lot) so that's the most active area in hunting season, and easy enough to avoid. Barn Island can be busy in the summer; there's a public boat launch at the end of the Palmer Neck Road entrance.

My dog is very timid around new people and wouldn't be comfortable in big crowds, but I'm working on getting her out and around people. I brought her to Shaidzon because I know it's smaller and tends to be quieter than other nearby breweries like Whalers. The atmosphere was nice and chill, and a couple of members of the staff actually came over and let her warm up to them so that she would let them pet her. I think it was a really positive experience for her, and I got to have some great beers! I brought a rolled-up dog bed because the floors are hard.

I visited on 7/30/23 and the woman there said they only had small things; they weren’t making meals anymore. The patio area didn’t have any tables. The woman was very kind and recommended other places in the area that were dog-friendly and open for breakfast. There were signs in the window saying that the place would be closing. Hopefully it’s not permanent! Sounds like it would have been a really great spot.

I was camping with my dog and so relieved to find a place I could sit outside to eat with her! It was our first time at a restaurant together so I wasn’t sure what to expect but the staff were very accommodating and brought her a bowl of water. The (human) food and beer selection was great, and it was such a nice treat that they had dog food too!

This place was great! Friendly, accommodating staff and great food selection. I was so excited about the dog menu! My dog was pretty worn out after hiking all day, and it started pouring rain but the umbrellas outside were large enough to keep us dry. She absolutely loved her chicken, rice, and veggies and enjoyed a nice long nap out of the rain.
