Human Food AMAZING

This is hands down one of best breakfast menu’s I’ve ever experienced. Literally could have closed my eyes and pointed and could not have gone wrong. Love history of this place and they are still doing a brisk breakfast business in middle of week.

Perfect Morning

Drove over from White Salmon Washington early in morning and found a parking spot on street a block away. Doppio has 12 tables outside, 9 are covered and up on a little patio. Everything outside was clean. No water offered. I saw a dog treat jar on counter, but staff did not recognize that I had a dog with me.

Everything was efficient inside and human menu items were good.

Seriously … the best human/K9 environment in US

I’ve traveled all over US in my van with my working dog. McKay Country Cottage is the BEST spot to enjoy an outstanding breakfast or lunch with your dog.

They have a tent set up on patio that was heated this morning making our 42 degree dining experience as good as sitting inside. Water and a treat brought for my K9 right away with menu. Food is sooooo good. Only thing missing is something on menu for the dog, otherwise this is as good as it gets. 10 bones for sure 🤷🏼‍♂️❤️

Great stop in heart of Coos Bay

Breakfast stop of Protein Packed Avocado toast and a peach/mango smoothie bowl + my Americano. Took a seat at one of two tables out front on sidewalk.

The kitchen was slammed, but my coffee was made right away and brought out to my table! Kudo’s to the staff.

Tough to find authentic, excellent German Food

But this is it!!!! Wow, nice covered patio, great service (dog water bowl brought right away) and amazing food with good selection of legit German and Belgian beers on tap. Highly recommended

Potential

Had breakfast here early. Outside tables and chairs still chained together, so had to leave my pup in van while I ate.

Breakfast was great. Amazing omelet selection and you upgrade from normal 3-egg omelet to a 6-egg omelet for a reasonable up charge. With potatoes and toast, you’ve got your daily caloric intake covered! Good service inside. Feeling like a local favorite for starting your day

Great Breakfast Spot

Bear Bear opens at 8:00 am, a couple hours earlier than other spots in Leavenworth. Nice menu and 5-6 outside tables with nice views overlooking street. Reasonable prices. EXCELLENT service

Patio Nice

Patio is nicely shaded. Bunch of tables, widely spaced. Perfect for the dogs. Water bowl was brought out right away and they even have a dog burger patty for your pup for $3.00.

Human food is primarily usual sports bar fare. Nacho’s, quesadilla, wings for sharing. Burgers, sandwiches, salads and soups for the humans. Good choice of local craft beers and a pretty nice looking craft cocktail list. Everything pretty heavy on carbs, so I had to adapt.

I had the soup du jour (black bean with corn and shredded chicken). It was good, but I had to wade through a pretty thick layer of crumbled tortilla strips to get to it.
Order the bacon cheeseburger and a side salad instead of fries, tots or onion rings. Just ditched the bun and the salad croutons and everything was great.

A nice basic meal, and my server was great … friendly and effective. The dog patty was legit. Dedicated parking lot with entrance to patio from back. Lots of locals inside who looked like serious regulars … many at bar.

I recommend for this site as the patio very dog friendly (they even have rings on the perimeter fence by the tables to clip your dogs leash is) and shaded, and water provided. Great job

Great visit with pup

This is a full service espresso based coffee spot with really good made to order breakfast and lunch menu. Not a huge menu, but it ticks off all the boxes. Several healthy plates, bowls. Slightly expensive, but tree-lined street location just a couple blocks from capitol give it a nice vibe. Inside and outdoor tables. You order and pay inside, and they bring out to you. I had a healthy turkey and scrambled egg plate with toasted sourdough and peanut butter on side (which my pup devoured) and a really nice yogurt, granola, peanut butter, and fruit bowl (which my pup got none of).

You may need to drive around a bit to find on street free parking. I found a surface pay lot 2 blocks away ($8 for 3 hours), which worked out well.

My eggs, yogurt bowl, Americano coffee came out to $38 ish with tax and tip.

There are metal dog bowls outside around the front door, but you are on your own going inside to get them filled with water. No worries.

Most of the outdoor tables are nicely shaded by trees planted along the sidewalk. Very nice feeling even though the flies were fierce. Recommend a couple drops of insect repellent to allow you to enjoy your meal.

Thanks Java Downtown. A winner in Boise

Outstanding food

Only two “high-top” tables in front right by parking, and no dog water bowls. All I have to keep this from 5-star rating.

As a human restaurant, food is outstanding. I had Sesame Ahi Tuna and the Mediterranean Halibut. Just outstanding food. Even the seasonal vegetable side was outta this world. Only 2, 2-seat tables outside, but servers were great filling my pups water bowl and sneaking her a French fry from the kitchen. Will def go back while I’m in Boise.

Wonderful fresh seafood menu. Healthy with lots of vegan options. $40-$50 pp with appetizer, entree, and 2 glasses wine. Super friendly service

Ok spot in downtown Boise off State for a beer and some bar food

Pretty easy to find. Not sure where the big patio shown in one of the photo’s is exactly at. I was offered seating in a narrow area with a few tables in front of the location on the street. It was ok, but facing west with no real shade on the day I visited (95’) so it was almost unbearably hot. The seating hostess was gracious enough to extend a small fabric canopy which got my table about half way out of the sun.

No water bowl was offered, so I got mine out of my van and my server then made sure it was filled with ice water.

The menu is pretty traditional hi-carb bar food. I ordered the Brussels Sprouts appetizer (it’s def enough to share between 2 people). For my entree, I got the brown rice Bulgogi Bowl. Won’t win any Korean awards, but “ok”. Paired it with a fruity wheat beer, technically not a Hefeweizen, but same family. It was REALLY GOOD!! For dessert, tried their Tres Leches carrot cake. Gooey topping, although the cake itself was kinda dry. Paired that with a vanilla cinnamon Porter style beer that was again outstanding.

After the two beers, I asked for a coffee. They gave it, but none brewed. My server indicated she could have them brew a pot, but pretty clear they didn’t really want to.

My server was new and there were some gaps in her knowledge of the menu and the beers, but she did a great job otherwise.

There’s a pay surface lot right next door to the establishment

On a cooler day, I would have enjoyed myself a lot more, but a good break from dinner in the van 🤣

Da Bomb

super dog friendly people. weather a bit dicey, but we were allowed inside for a great dinner and a surprise bacon treat for Luna. Long day drive from Seattle. REALLY enjoyed the relaxing stop, great food and craft beer at Climate. add in the classic rock tunes on the house sound system and I didn’t want to leave. this is what a meal stop with your dog should look like everywhere. well done Climate City

What an amazing spot

Owners are dog owners and very friendly. Rooms perfect for pups; tile floors and basket of treats and blankets to make your dogs rest in room a 10/10. Within 5 minute walk are several VERY dog friendly restaurants. Happy dog = happy owners. El Portal really one of top small hotels that are dog friendly that I’ve ever stayed at. They even have line on folks that can sit with your pup while you go out for meals and activities that are not dog friendly. Just love El Portal. Will def be back.

Everything fantastic

stopped in for late lunch. went in wrong door to front bar, but bartender stepped out and helped me get seated in the garden out back so I could get table service.

great menu … I got the corn chowder (fantastic) and the Taos wrap. they even cooked a chicken breast for Luna. key lime pie and coffee closed out the afternoon. oh … and a bowl of water was brought to Luna by my server right away. I’ll be back!!!!

What a nice surprise.

rolled in after RV night in Medina Tx. Never would have known this place was here. good amount of parking out front. fun inside seating … feels like I’m in FL Keys. outside in back an extensive patio with 20+ tables … 4 tops and family friendly ones that could seat 6-8. many are shaded. There’s even a stage and dance floor. this place would be great with live music. Awesome country music playing on the sound system. Menu is starters and a few main items (burgers, salad, etc). Just a fun, fun place that is dog friendly. Walk your pup through the restaurant to the back. Bring your water bowl with you, we weren’t offered one, but that’s my absolute only nit

Good experience for Sunday morning breakfast

convenient location in downtown Spokane on Main Street. Gets really busy for weekend breakfast, so recommend you get there around opening time. I arrived at posted opening time (8 am) and there was a short line already. parking in front on Main Street if you are early enough.

shady patio is around back, although they let you walk your well-behaved dog through restaurant if you want. else, you can walk down alley in back and enter patio directly.

service is stand in line, order and pay at register and they will bring to you. there is no traditional table service, so don’t sit down on patio and think anyone will come wait on you.

food is as they name implies, lots of delish looking high-carb pastries and breakfast/brunch items, teas and coffees. I had a great bowl of oatmeal and 2 eggs and bacon with an American coffee. We were first on patio this morning, it was full by the time we left.

Withheld a rating bone as they really have nothing for your pup there … no water offered and nothing special on menu for them. Otherwise, it’s a nice spot for you with really fresh pastries and they allow your dog.

Yes

simple … this is what a dog friendly place is supposed to be. great space, great food, some proceeds directed to dog rescue. associated with Spokane SPCA, bark Gastropub allows you to eat great food, drink great beer and cider, relax, and make a reservation to interact with rescues at the SPCA. good parking on site, great service. YES is all I can say

Great spot when other Redmond “dog friendly” places closed their outdoor dining for lack of wait staff. Redmond Bar and Grill open and accommodating. two table areas for you and your pup. nice diverse food and drink menu, and it’s all good with friendly service staff. check it out. they’ve got my business

Fantastic Night. Right On Waterway, Big Downstairs Patio With Plenty Of Table Space For Pups.. Irish Nachos With Corned Beef Are Fantastic, Irish Bread Pudding Enough For 2. Guinness And Cider Half N Half’s And The 18 Year Old Scotch Flight Are Not To Be Missed. Good Service. Friendly Patio Mates.

Great Hooman And Pup Destination

nice patio with misters!!! cool. dog bowls with fresh water provided. great beer and food truck parked right in front. interesting selection of beers. have fun here. parking can be a challenge as there is no lot. street parking. limited spots and major street construction going on in front taking a bunch of places out of circulation. looks like it’s going to be going on for a while

Wonderful Facility

the two fenced in dog parks on the property are pretty much best I’ve seen at a hotel. all grass with bench’s for the hoomans. one large and one small park separated. very nice. the rooms are nice as well. only thing stopping me from rating 5 bones is the $20 pet fee per night

this is really a nice high end hotel. just wish the area to walk dogs was closer than 2 city blocks. else it’s all cement. if it’s bad weather, that’s gonna be a hike.

Meh For Pups

only thing that makes this pup friendly is some outdoor tables. no pup water bowls, treats, or menu items. you go inside to order and bring food out on a tray. reminds me very much of a Penera menu. food just ok for hoomans. cement patio with minimal shade backing up to major highway so it’s noisy as well. nothing special

Be Aware

there are many parks in Boise that do not allow dogs, even on leash, per city code. so once you get on trail, don’t go off into one of parks thinking you can hang out!! this is actually one of the least friendly K9 towns I’ve visited.

Good Spot

they’ve added more tables to the patio, so unless at busiest time, you should be able to find a spot to sit with your pup.

food is just so-so, and service is average. I’m not sure why, but I’ve never seen so many flies in one place at one time. they were driving my dog crazy.

Awesome

4 table patio in back. Enter from side. Parking a bit limited. Try side street. Air Quality not good and at first they weren’t thrilled about serving us on patio, but manager heard me asking and it was “no problem brother”. Thanks guys, good food, great service.
