    Excellent service, good food and comfortable setting. It was my first time in cold weather and I was worried it wouldn't measure up to summertime with all the outdoor tables, kid games and fire pits. But it was cozy and sweet!

    I go to Dog Watch all the time, and every single time i am happy with the service, the food, and general appeal. However, this last time i went I ordered the Dog Watch Pasta and it was awful. Had little taste, not what i expected at all, hard to eat with a fork because it looked more like my chicken soup i make at home. Very disappointed. And we were seated next to a fire place that wasnt lit, and there was a terrible draft coming in, so we asked to move. As did the people sitting there before us. I will continue to go to Dog Watch, but will never order the Pasta again!!!

    Had a great time here! We have two small children and this place was perfect. Basically a whole playground attached to the restaurant. Food was great and service was great. Beer selection was surprisingly small. Parking can be a nightmare they don’t have a parking lot. All in all it’s good bbq especially if you have kids.

    The servers were pretty busy so they weren’t checking up on us often. Food comes out fast, good quality.
