Well behaved are the key words

they have a nice patio area, both open air and covered with a privacy fence.

we’ve eaten here over the past 13 years and several owners but never brought pups. I poked my head in to see if they would allow my guys on the patio and they did.
the also agreed to being added to this app.
they have indicated that only well behaved/obedience trained dogs are allowed.
as this is an upscale setting for Kemah, it would also be beneficial to not bring pups during peaks hours/days.

my boys were treated wonderfully and catered to with a large bowl of water.
I will be returning with them.
had a great ribeye, dessert and Prosecco.

Unexpected

Very cute and trendy hotel in west Texas, it’s crazy to see something like this out here. The room fees are frankly way too high, but there’s no competition so if you want to stay in a nice place with your pups out here you have to pay the price. Be aware there are no ice buckets or machines or water. There is a mini fridge and bar for purchase in your room. They do have restaurant/bar on site. The staff are very casual and informal. If the front desk person is sitting chatting in the lobby with a friend, do not expect her to get up, however she will very pleasantly answer all questions when you approach her. Would I stay here again? Absolutely. Just manage expectations and know you’re not in a populous.

Yum

the atmosphere was vibrant.
the pups were allowed in and as always just took their place under the table.
the food was great, 10oz NY.
the server was attentive and extremely shy to the point I could barely hear her, very sweet though.
there was no knowledge of the menu, at all.
I would absolutely eat here again.
just remember where you are and manage expectations, the majority of the local population may not be accustomed to this type of establishment.

Funky

this quirky little castle is an awesome middle of nowhere stop.
best thing is the pups are allowed everywhere.

Jul. 27, 2023

Loved it

the pups cannot go inside the building however they can go all around the observation areas.

Jul. 26, 2023

Good

good that you can bring dogs.

Jul. 26, 2023

Love

I added Zebs to this app because they let dogs in the bar.

It’s great, years ago when I lived here I brought my dog and others as well.
Recently I went back for a visit and was allowed to bring my pups in still, greatness.
That’s my boys in the BF pics above.
you keep your babies on the bar side. We got food and ate on that side, easy peasy. Love it and will always take my pups there.

Small Cabin

We stayed in a 2 room cabin, toilets and shower at the end of row. Three showers for women, one broken and one that is a lawsuit waiting to happen. View for last 3 cabins is dirt and a dog park that is dirt and stinks horribly. Trash was never picked up. Fire pit (metal kiva) was broken and rusted with door falling off, grill on deck was in same condition. It was economical and the other cabins seemed much better. Just don’t let them put you in the last 3-4 that face the back.

Jul. 18, 2023

Lovely stay

The boys were welcomed on the covered patio without hesitation. Patio is covered and uncovered (umbrella). They did not bring my pups water, but I did see another table receive it upon request.

Jul. 10, 2023

Great place

what a great idea. pups welcome inside and outside. there’s even an off leash area.

pub food and drinks that aren’t bad at all.

great place!

Jul. 07, 2023

Decent patio

the food is ok, they do have a patio with tables and umbrellas that the pups are allowed on.

Jul. 06, 2023

Nice patio

they have a nice spacious covered patio, with table service.
it’s hot and miss on dog treatment, some servers bring water some act as those the dogs aren’t there.
food is always good and the servers are always nice regardless of pup recognition.

Jun. 08, 2023

Open patio

they have a nice covered open patio area with picnic tables.
it’s cafeteria style so be prepared to figure it out if you’re alone with a pup.
everyone raves about the bbq but we didn’t like it.
I’m giving 4 bones because they allow pups on the patio, Great 👍🏻, and maybe you’ll like the bbq 😁

Jun. 07, 2023

Good place

we called to make sure they accepted dogs, they were confused about and no real answer. we showed up and there was another dog on the deck so we take it they do.
sat at a corner table on the covered patio, the food was good enough. they did not pay any special mine to our pups but I think that’s down to the waitress.
the patio is great and directly across from the sea wall.
those are my boys on the listing pic above. 😁

May. 29, 2023

Great place

what a great place for the area. we only had a drink and some queso so I cannot comment on the food. the menu looked to be Mexican or Tex-mex. they have an elevated concrete patio with tables and umbrellas. the waitress brought our pups water without being ask.
those are my boys above on the listing. 😁

May. 29, 2023

My boys on the cover

those are my sweet pups on the cover here.
I forgot to post my review when I submitted the place, lol

it was great, cute patio and friendly service. loved that we can bring the dogs.

May. 27, 2023

Pups inside

the let your pup inside the restaurant. the waitstaff coo’d all over our guys in the way in. our server didn’t seem to care but that’s ok, I was delighted we could bring them in.

May. 20, 2023

Great place

they have a covered patio and it is raining, great place!
they did not cater to pups but do allow them, so yea!
the grilled shrimp was good

May. 10, 2023

Relaxing

they didn’t cater to our boys but they allowed them and they were able to stretch out around our table and just relax.

May. 10, 2023

Second stay

Room had properly working air and no dogs barking all night, which made a huge difference from our last stay here. The sink water is only hot, no cold at all, lol. We took the boys up to the 11th floor lounge and hung out most of evening, it was great. It’s better to just do it and ask for forgiveness if they kick you out; no one said a word to us and everyone wanted to meet our babies. The first visit we were told no.

May. 10, 2023

Dogs everywhere

They do not cater to them, however dogs are everywhere. You can sit with them in the bar area.

May. 10, 2023

Nice motel

New looking motel, very nice and clean.

May. 02, 2023

Delicious

this was is a hidden gem.
we thought it was going to be like a taqueria but no, it’s full on upscale taste and presentation, great menu.
the patio is wonderful and has several small tables. our server Bridgette was fantastic and brought a large bowl of water for our pups, without being ask to do us.
highly recommend this place and to ask for Bridgette.

Apr. 28, 2023

Excellent

I spoke with the bartender regarding my pups and he was so kind. I sat at bistro tables in front of the large window that faces Main Street, Craig could see me from there and furnished table service.
I had Prosecco and steak, it was fabulous. Craig was fabulous, he also brought water out for the pups and gave them lots of attention.

Apr. 13, 2023

Loved it

Very old hotel that they’re tryin to keep up, it looks lovely. The guest service is what stands out, couldn’t be more fabulous. Merideth, front desk. Chase, valet/bellman. Craig, barman at the Corner, hotel restaurant/bar. These people made mine and my pups stay wonderful. I’ll stay here because of these folks anytime I’m in Mobile.

Apr. 07, 2023

Great little place

outdoor covered patio, with tables and bar seating. the bbq is great and they run out quick, the locals love it.

Apr. 05, 2023

Sidewalk

they have a couple of umbrella tables on the sidewalk. not ideal but it’s something.

Apr. 04, 2023

Great pop in place

they have tables on the side with umbrellas. the food was fine and the dogs were happy. what more can you ask for :)

Apr. 04, 2023

Brownie blast

I only had the dessert but it was great, home made brownies with ice cream, hot fudge and whipped cream.
the owner and I spoke quite extensively and she informed me that almost everything they serve is made in house, they even tenderize their own beef.
They have a bar with two stools on the front of the building and about 3 tables on the sidewalk out front.
I sat at the bar and they brought my pups a bowl of water.

Apr. 03, 2023

Great place

they have a rather large outdoor area thats covered and uncovered, picnic tables and normal tables. this place is so dog friendly it’s crazy. when we arrived there were two dogs leaving and one still there and then us with our two. the food is good and they brought water for the pups.

Mar. 23, 2023

Great patio

they have a large cool patio.
perfect location for in between soccer games.

Mar. 09, 2023

Always good

it’s always a good time at Boondoggles. The food and drinks are good and the friendly pup attitude is always a plus.

Feb. 23, 2023

Dogs welcome

it’s great the dogs can come in or sit in the patio. waiting in line with pups isn’t real conducive and having to wait 30 minutes for a toast with peanut butter is crazy.

Feb. 14, 2023

Dog friendly

they serve drinks and bar food and have a band on the weekends. dogs are allowed everywhere, in and out.

Feb. 11, 2023

Great Place

I know this is a chain but I had never stopped at one before, the food is actually good.
I’ve stopped twice while passing through and both times the food has been great.
Your pups are welcome on the patio which is spacious and covered.

Feb. 11, 2023

Great food

restaurant looks like nothing from the outside, the inside is great and the patio is enclosed. the food was great and the margaritas are old school.
the pups were not catered to but they are allowed, which is great with me. we carry our own water bowls anyway.

Feb. 09, 2023

Great location

It’s directly on the beach. The beach side rooms can be a little scabby, we had to switch to a hotel room and it was clean and lovely. You can’t beat $25 per dog and being able to have your pups in the bar area.

Feb. 05, 2023

Great patio

we found this while camping at the state park. doesn’t seem like a great neighborhood but what a great place. the food was wonderful and the service was fantastic.
no special treatment for the pups however they were comfy and coo’d over.

Jan. 20, 2023

Hmmmm

I wanted to give this place a good review, but just cannot for this visit.
they were not busy at all and we did not receive good service. The waitress maintained a friendly disposition, but it was just like she didn’t want to wait on our table. she did not acknowledge my pups at all, however I did see her take out water bowls for two other dogs. this tells me they do cater to pups, for whatever reason she just didn’t to ours.
we had 9 people which means auto gratuity on the ticket, nice for her but not for us, apparently there was not an incentive. it’s a shame, we’re great tippers and she would have received even more.

Nov. 30, 2022

Pups in lobby

The hotel is in a good location, decent property. It’s probably difficult to keep up due to all the sporting event clientele. The rooms are heavy with bleach, you know they’re clean, lol. The 5 bones is for them allowing our boys to hang out in the lobby, we really appreciated that.

Nov. 20, 2022

Wow!

Cold, rainy day, no where to go, in town for the night and hotel still not ready. This little place is a lifesaver, opens at 10:30AM 😁
I had the sweetest server (wish I would’ve gotten her name), she brought out dog waters and braved the cold and wet to just stand out there and chat for a minute.
So…they have this duck confit with greens quesadilla, drizzled in honey, I’ve never dreamed of this combo, it was heaven in my mouth!

Nov. 19, 2022

Nice Server

They have a spacious patio but boy did we go the wrong time of day, melted in the sun. Our server was very friendly and without prompting ask if he could bring to bowls of water for the boys. It was very nice and we love the deviled eggs.

Nov. 11, 2022

Great patio

they have a great covered patio. nothing special was done for the pups however the patio is wonderful and we were able to sit at a corner table where they could stretch out a little.

Nov. 11, 2022

Great find

This hidden gem is terrific.
There are more than enough trails for a few hours walking and large open green space. I liked the options of paved, graveled and dirt paths, trails in the open and tucked away in trees.

Nov. 04, 2022

Good

good sized covered patio, the road is extremely busy so lots of traffic noise.
they do not cater to dogs but they allow them, which is great.
try the bayou fries, yum

Nov. 03, 2022

Love, love, love

They have a large covered deck and keep water bowls out for your pups.
Everyone loves pups, especially the owner who often has his two there.

Oct. 31, 2022

Patio

they have a nice shaded patio for your pups. they do not cater to your guys but they do allow them.

Oct. 25, 2022

Large patio

I’m not a huge fan of bar food but they have a salad with grilled shrimp that’s great.
Both of my pups were welcomed and had a bowl of ice water each. The server was sweet as could be.

Oct. 22, 2022

Great food

Dog friendly patio with umbrellas everywhere, they immediately brought a large bowl of water for my two big guys. everyone was friendly and the food was great.

Sep. 08, 2022

Love it

We love this place, my boys are always welcome on the deck in the shade. They get plenty of attention and water in to go containers are offered for them.
The margaritas and flameado queso are fantastic !

May. 16, 2022

It’s fine

They allow big dogs which is great. The hotel was clean, another great. The room maintenance is bad….1st room broken sofa bed and toilet paper holder coming off the wall. The 2nd room, shower door wouldn’t stay closed, we wedged a wash cloth in it. The staff doesn’t seem to be hospitality trained. Staying for a night, fine, staying longer… probably not.

Nov. 29, 2021

2nd time

This was our 2nd time to stay here. it’s very convenient and well lit, so it’s safe if you have a shell in top of your vehicle. They love my pups and there’s a field in front of the property.

Oct. 08, 2020

Great winter potential

I called first to make sure the patio was open and they had heaters. we arrived and after 3 people said they would light the heaters one person tried. come to find out all the propane bottles had been removed except for one. The barrels are not really designed for heat but for looks, it didn’t help. we ordered and ate regardless. Ribs and Ribeye were mediocre at best the clam chowder was good. I’m sure the other menu items must be better. the staff was very friendly so that’s huge.

Nov. 20, 2021

Nice

we were there for the 10Am brunch. nothing special for the pooches but they’re allowed on the patio so that’s huge. the food is good and we would return.

Nov. 20, 2021

Wow!

Love this place, will stay here with or with out the pups. Everyone loved the boys and welcomed them with attention and lots of lovin’. Even though policy is no dogs in the bar, if they’re well behaved it’s fine. The potty area is unusual but hey, it’s Vegas. We were in the first tower so clear access to front doors and potty area.

Nov. 20, 2021

Tucked away

Love how this hotel has a tucked away feeling. Believe it or not, it’s much better than the last time I stayed at the DoubleTree here. They do not have treats or anything “dog welcoming” at the desk that I know of, at least we were not offered anything. Feels like dogs are tolerated, they are only allowed in rooms, you cannot take them into the lobby/common areas.

Nov. 18, 2021

Good pulled pork

I stopped in with the boys to grab some dinner. Nothing fancy but my pulled pork was great.
The boys were able to be with me in the outdoor seating that was pretty cold. I was the only one out there, they didn’t turn on any heaters or bring the dogs water.

Nov. 18, 2021

Hotel looks great

I believe this hotel is recently renovated, the room looks great and the lobby is cozy and trendy. The staff was very nice. I sat in the lobby with a friend and both my pups, we had drinks and food all night. The lobby has tables/chairs and a bar. Once again the weight limit doesn’t include my pups however they do not enforce it, thank goodness. Tony and Cooper have been obedience trained from 12 weeks; if they were bad the weight limit would probably be an issue, but since they’re not, the staff loves them and they hang with us all evening. This hotel is probably in one of Albuquerque’s only safe areas.

Nov. 18, 2021

Road trip

We’re staying here on the first night of our trip. It’s clean and nice enough, the best part is even though they say 50 lbs they do not enforce it. I have two big boys 110lbs each. There’s a potty station out front with bags that’s handy.

Nov. 16, 2021

Dog gone friendly

Had linner there Sunday.
We sat in the small outdoor eating area and the dogs attempted to squeeze under the table, lol, hard task for two giant breeds. The waitress was happy and cheerful as she greeted us and our pups, she took our drink order and brought a dog bowl of water for the boys, she even gave them refills.
good food, limited menu, very dog friendly. We will definitely return.

Oct. 11, 2021

Disappointed again

Sunday late afternoon was our last try, it was our 3rd time here. We really want to like this place but clearly our luck is terrible.
The place is trendy and fun, you want to be there. Pups are welcome in the outside seating that looks out onto the water. It’s really great ambiance and the staff are super friendly. The back of the house is a complete joke, you wait 1.5-2.5 hours for your meal, then the appetizers arrive 10 minutes later, lol.

They loved our pups and brought water in plastic to go containers, that was nice.
Recommendations would be, go there for a cocktail and let your pup enjoy the breeze. FYI: do not get the frozen flights, only a couple will be frozen and when I ask for frozen ones the response “sorry, they just made a batch of those so it hasn’t had time to freeze” 🙄

Sep. 21, 2021

Nice little place

Great little coffee house with several tables on a nice spacious patio in the back. There is not table service so be aware you will need to go in to order and wait for your food/drink, you cannot bring your dogs inside.

May. 09, 2021

Friendly staff

I popped in on a road trip, ask if they allowed dogs, she said in the picnic tables. You order at the counter and I believe are expected to pick up however she gave me table service outside, which was great. The lady making lunch also came out to give my boys a quick pet. Cutesie little place, it was loud as heck with all the Main St. traffic but that’s fine. In most small towns like this there is not one place to take your pups so I’m glad they are there.

Apr. 27, 2021

Small pet fee

There was only a $25 per pet fee, that’s great compared to other properties.

Apr. 23, 2021

Quaint

Cute house with a good size front porch, I liked it. The pups were welcomed and there is table service. No water bowls though.

Apr. 22, 2021

Very friendly

The service was good the food was ok, margaritas not great.
Pups are welcomed outside, I saw water bowls but they do not offer them.

Apr. 22, 2021

Fantastic

This place is great. I was camping with the boys at Colorado Bend State Park and this is the last stop before the cattle guards before another 10 miles to the park. We (me and the boys) had lunch there when we were leaving, it’s just awesome. Rusted tin roof, country nostalgia everywhere, go into the store to order and grab an old bottled coke, give your ticket to the permanent roach coach that has a huge deck built around. They have dog signs everywhere, bring your well behaved pooch here. It’s just great and the food was good ol’ food as well. Loved it.

Apr. 19, 2021

Good guacamole

They were in walking distance to the Aloft hotel and have a covered patio. While they do not offer bowls of water they were dog friendly on the patio. I had my boys, before I left another person came in with a couple of chihuahuas. There’s table service so you don’t need to worry about your dogs not being allowed in.
Great guacamole, great margaritas at the time I was there it was slow service but everything was pleasant and I would totally return.

Apr. 05, 2021

Late breakfast

there’s a small patio in the front, it’s cute enough and they did offer water for the pups. you are supposed to order inside however they made exception after I called from the car, a waitress came out and took my order, very nice of her. this is a cute little place and they also do a proper tea ie. cakes, scones etc.

Apr. 01, 2021

Great Place

They have dog snacks in the lobby and a dog friendly bar.
I always get two beds when traveling with the pups, they take up one all by themselves. There is a dog station out the back door with poop bags and a trash can.

Apr. 01, 2021

Great staff

The staff is wonderful. I was alone with my two boys and called from the parking lot to place my order and let them know I would be on the deck and couldn’t come in because of the dogs. they brought my food to me, which isn’t their norm, I really appreciated this and anytime I am taking the boys hiking at the state park I will make a point to grab a burger here.
she brought out water bowls for them as well.

Mar. 22, 2021

Good Atmosphere

This was our 2nd time there, first time they brought out bowls of water this time the waitress seemed afraid of dogs, so not even an offer of water.
Still yet, you can bring them so it’s a win. the food is ok, it’s fine, nothing to write home about. The atmosphere is very fun, being on the water with the palapa top. We’ll definitely keep popping in if we’re in that area.

Feb. 07, 2021

Great Place

I’ve been here many times, I do sit on the patio with the pups. the staff is overly friendly and the food is fun bar food fusion. A great find in a small little town.

Nov. 10, 2020

Almost A 5

Love this place, eat there often.
Took the pups and the grandsons for the first time and immediately noticed a challenge. the outside seating does not have wait service for orders. this creates a challenge ordering with pups, they either have to come in with you or you cannot go alone because someone will need to watch them. outside of that it was wonderful.

Oct. 30, 2020

Patio Dining

I read the reviews before going so I went immediately to the patio area. It appeared they were not open for business out there, was severely neglected and covered in leaves and dust. The loveliest waitress comes over and says I can sit anywhere but does not clean a table, it just never occurred to her that she should. regardless, she was super friendly and had grown up in the restaurant, I probably wouldn’t have stayed had she not been so friendly.
I had guacamole (ok), chicken flautas (frozen from a box) and a margarita.
sat with my pups in the shade and enjoyed a bit of the afternoon. I wouldn’t return for the food but I would as a place to hang with my pups and drink.

Oct. 30, 2020

Could Be Great

this candlewood actually has a lobby, that’s a plus. I’m just not fond of this brand but from time to time have no choice. the first suite stunk to high heaven, the 2nd did not smell however the dogs went nuts over all the scents in the carpet.

The pups and I are on the elevator, doors open, a little boy (maybe4) and his mom are right there in the threshold.... the boy screams and runs down the hall to the right, the mother screams and runs down the hall to the left. I’m saying they’re friendly, it’s ok, don’t be afraid, I have the dogs immediately go into a down stay. Meanwhile the boy realizes his mom has ran the other way so he has to run back down the hall, screaming all the way past the dogs. The mom his frantically trying to get her room key to work, myself and the pups have not moved we’re just frozen in a surreal moment. I shook it off and let the front desk know as we went past.
Meanwhile it shook these guys and they’re cuddling back in the room 😳

pet friendly??

Oct. 30, 2020

They Accept Pets

The suite wasn’t horrible, it was run down. The location is great. the clientele was a little scary. Personally wouldn’t stay there again.

Oct. 30, 2020

Loved It

After a long hike and creek swimming we were starving, thanks to BringFido we found this place.
It was 11am so they’d just opened and we were the 1st customers. Between the 2 of us there were 3 large dogs (2 giant breeds) and they welcomed us in, I would have been more comfortable not walking the boys through the nice dining area to the patio however this is what they had us do. Once seated outside on the shaded patio area it was great, our waiter was wonderful, the food was great as well. I would suggest, if you’re going to be dog friendly to have water bowls on hand, no matter it was great and we carry pop up bowls. I did spot an outside exit to the patio (through the bushes) and took that to leave. The boys were a little stinky, I did not want to take them through the inside dining area again.
I would definitely return and will.

Oct. 16, 2020

New And Improved

they have been bought by the people that owned the Trading Post, had their grand opening a couple of months ago and it’s delicious.
our waiter was definitely not fine dining trained so don’t expect that, the food was terrific though.
they were more than accommodating to my 2 giant breed dogs and brought a large bowl of water for them.

Oct. 06, 2020

Good Job

the food was good, the service was great. they were overly accommodating to my 2 giant breed dogs

Oct. 06, 2020
