    Very kitschy place with interesting original dog art on the walls everywhere. Food is average for a bar/restaurant with burgers, etc.

    Our server SEVERELY messed up our order. And then argued with us that she was right and we were wrong. It took something like 5 attempts for our group to finally get their correct order. When we informed the manager he also began to argue with us and defend the server. Burger were alright. Fries terrible. Service absolutely unacceptable!

    Food was delicious. Decor was interesting. Service staff was very nice, though slow to grab our order initially. Definitely a unique and fulfilling menu with the environment to match.

    We got sat down by the very attentive hostess but then we had to get our own glasses and request drinks 3 times. And then we had to do the same when we asked for re-fills. The food was not bad but our waitress was very inattentive and did not care about our table compared to others.

    The hostess was welcoming. Our server Chuck was attentive, friendly, and answered all of my wife’s questions about the neighborhood as we were on vacation in Minnesota for the first time.

    The new Monday lunch Collab with Captain Yum Yum' pop-up is great. I've had both the smoked chicken, and the bratwurst rice bowls, they were delicious. The Korean Onion soup is phenomenal.

    Sam's Korean Onion Soup is delicious. The flavors have a kick and a comforting taste at the same time. Very soothing!

    Burgers are awesome. Maybe a little over priced but delicious. We’ve been coming here when it was The Bulldog and really love the doggy vibes. Cheese curds great too!
