| - Really cool idea for a restaurant, especially for dog-lovers.
The doghouse theme is spread throughout the restaurant, from the chain link "kennels" (booths), to the dog food bowl filled with "treats" (peanuts), to the tongue-in-cheek names for dishes.
I ordered the fajita salad (probably under a different name) with grilled steak. My grandma ordered a personal pepperoni pizza. The waitresses and hostess were friendly and prompt, something I've come to appreciate over many restaurant visits.
Food critique:
-the steak for my salad came as ordered (medium rare) but was extremely chewy and difficult to digest, a sign of a poor cut of meat. The portion of steak to salad was "ok" at best, but it was a very large salad to begin with. 3 stars for the salad.
-my grandma's personal pizza looked pathetic (how's that for alliteration??). It looked like something out of the freezer aisle at Food City. The crust was barely darkened, the cheese looked fake and had that barely-lukewarm-edible appearance to it. I didn't even have to eat it and I knew it didn't taste good; this was later confirmed by Grandma.
Apparently, you are allowed to bring leashed dogs and sit on the patio to eat, they even have special dog-food items you can order for your four-legged friend. The toss-your-peanut-shells-on-the-floor really gave it that laid-back feel but is also very very dangerous for elderly people who have canes or are unsteady on their feet. And as a final note, it seemed like all the female staff members were pregnant. Not something that I really cared about, but how does that happen?
I'll be back with my pup in-tow to try something different (and hopefully better) on the patio.
