I'm not sure if it was the pet friendly patio, being open 24 hours, or massive list of in-house brews (in addition to plenty of guest brews) that got me to love this place, but I certainly love all of it!
I've been a few times now and each time the wait staff has been very attentive to us even though we always sit on the patio. My husband and I are always on the look out for places we can bring our black lab Jack along for dinner (we hate leaving him at home). So this place definitely fit the bill! Sometimes however we find if you sit outside the level of service is seriously decreased. That is not the case for Big Dog's! After one of us simply notifies the hostess inside that we'd like to sit on the patio they typically have someone come right out to attend to us.
I absolutely love that they constantly have new brew lists and highlight not only their own brews, but also plenty of local guest brews. My husband and I are big beer lovers so it's nice to have a place that's open 24 hours so close to home. I've tried a number of their in house beers and have never been disappointed (love their black lab stout, though I may be a little biased!). I've also enjoyed every guest brew I've tried as well.
Now on to the food, which is absolutely delicious. Seriously. They serve breakfast all day in addition to plenty of bar food and grandma's style cooking. This last time I tried their pot roast, and it was fall of the fork good. Loved every single bite.
So if you love dogs, beer, and good food you gotta give this place a try!
