The Family Dog

Interesting establishment. A coworker selected this place. It's more of a bar atmosphere than a restaurant. Classic bar food menu. They apparently have live music as a band was setting up and checking their mics the entire time I was there. When selecting beers to have, we were told that a large bachelor party was there the night before and cleaned them out of several types. We were able to find something suitable. Our server was very nice but was stretched to the max and running all over the place. She was working hard but had too many things to do. Service was a little slow because of that, but I can't say that she didn't try. We all had different items and everyone enjoyed what they had. I ended up with a burger that was decent. We ordered nachos as an appetizer. They didn't seem to have much if any cheese on them. There was a large, loud group beside us that didn't make the best experience. I would however go back again as the food was decent.

After a failed attempt to get a seat at Whiskey Bird & Truva, we aimlessly wandered into The Family Dog. We just wanted a quick drink and snack before heading home but were really hoping we would be able to bring the pup! And leave it to a restaurant called the Family Dog to be the best dog friendly option in the 'hood!We were seated on the empty dog friendly patio pretty quickly (it was a hot summer day). The server was hard to flag down but once we got her, we were able to order quickly and efficiently. She also brought a pup cup to my dog which she thoroughly enjoyed. I ordered an Aperol Spritzer to help cool off and we paired it with an order of tots and queso, as recommended by our server. Honestly, it was all the perfect little snack, while letting us dine with our dog. I'll have to stop in for a full meal next time!

A sweet and accessible neighborhood bar and restaurant with friendly service, the Family Dog is a good option for a drink and casual meal when in the neighborhood. We stopped in on a recent Saturday morning, and enjoyed a couple beers before settling in to our brunch- a huge and hearty southwestern black bean and egg bowl for me, and breakfast tacos for her. It hit the spot and made for a fun and relaxed weekend morning.

Pretty much never been disappointed here so Five Stars for me!This is a Morningside Lenox Park neighborhood restaurant that stays open pretty late, although I've only gone during the day!I noticed they have good weekly deals when I strolled in with my son on a Tuesday afternoon! (During happy hour which I noticed lasts much longer than other places. 4pm-7pm! This is super clutch!)The chef made him this delicious buttery Mac n cheese! I had to try it and it was pretty good! She actually came out and hand delivered it right to our table just for him! I ordered 3 tacos! 2 Buffalo cauliflower (the red onions and blue cheese crumbles did it for me ) and 1 fish taco!Yummy yum yum!The cauliflower was my favorite! I always want to try something different everytime I go which isn't like me at all! Once I find something I like I tend to stick with it! But this place makes me want to try it all!

The service was terrible. I'm not sure why they were even open because everything we ordered was out: shrimp po boy: "we're out"; bbq pork tacos: "we're out of salsa verde" - so it was served dry with no sauce; Captain and Coke: "we're out of Captain Morgans!" The waitress barely checked on our table and the food (what was left of it) took FOREVER to be served. Hopefully this was just a bad night.

My friend and I used to love The Family Dog's BLTs, but we went there a month ago and we both were super nauseous later that night. Went there again last night and I had forgotten about how it made me feel last time, so I only remembered after he didn't order the BLT. I figured it was probably a one-off issue, surely it won't make me sick again, plus I used to love it. So I got it. Unfortunately I was wrong, and I was throwing up all night. It was miserable. I never leave reviews like this, and I wouldn't now if the same thing hadn't happened twice, a month apart, and to someone else besides me too, so I know it's not just me. I don't even have a sensitive stomach!I'm still giving this place some stars because the atmosphere is great, and the rest of the food is great too. It would be amazing if they could figure out what was in the BLT that was making us sick, because it was used to be delicious. Still is, but not worth the aftermath. I'll definitely go back but will be ordering something else!

Great place in the neighborhood of Highland, very welcoming to everybody, good atmosphere, THE BEST TACOS ANYWHERE IN TOWN (Except for maybe Nuevo Laredo with thair lobster and shrimp tacos) . Honestly these guys are just closer to me so... this is The Family Dog, everything about this place is good, I've always had good experiences with the staff, the food, always been good, they atmosphere is good the tacos on taco Tuesday are exceptional! In my picture from left to right the Carnitas taco , the fried fish taco and then the fried chicken taco happy eating :*)

Went a few months ago with friends. This place had a cute vibe and menu looked decent so we decided to go in. The wait was not long at all to sit down, but we ended up waiting about 45 mins to an hour for our food. Our waters were refilled once. It was a Sunday morning so we figured maybe they were just too busy and behind in the kitchen but it turns out that the server just completely forgot about us and no other servers or runners checked in on us. Our party was unimpressed when the food did finally make its way to our table. Probably would not return even if the service would have been quicker.

I was craving some wings. I searched Google for "wings near me" and this spot popped up. It was right across the street from where I was getting my nails done. It's was kinda empty but I was really attracted by the fact that they had a patio. Actually the whole restaurant was open to air. I was greeted promptly wand warmly. The menunis simple but has what you would need. My server came in just enough time for me to order wings and fries (see pics). They were flavorful and good. Just what I needed. I will definitely come back. One thing that was different from any where else I've been is there is a 3.5% charge for using credit cards instead of cash. It was on the menu so I knew and it did not deter me. I would definitely plan to eat there if the weather is nice when I get my nails done again.

ATTENTION OWNER: you have a problem! Yesterday, your establishment had no manager on site, one cook and wait staff that were like deer in the headlights. When there is going to be a wait of over one hour to get their meal, let them know upon arrival. Once the food did arrive, the tater tots were cold. The salad one in our party ordered had no dressing. Another asked for a certain dressing he left off the sandwich, it was on the sandwich. Maybe if the waitress wrote down the order, it would have helped! HORRIBLE experience! This isn't 2020-21. Get some ADULT supervision in your place. Get your act together.
