If you have a dog, chances are you’re not too crazy about leaving him or her behind. But if you’re the kind of person who really enjoys eating out, that desire to have your fur-baby around at all times can become problematic.
The good news is that Jacksonville, being a relatively pet-friendly city, has plenty of food options that will allow you to bring your beloved doggy friend along with you.
Generally speaking, most restaurants with an outdoor seating area will let you have your dog with you – assuming they’re well-behaved. This goes even for the city’s many chain restaurants, such as Outback Steakhouse or Hooters.
But if you’re looking for a nice locally-based eating experience to share with your pup, we’ve compiled a list of several restaurants that local dog owners swear by.
Not too far away from Brick in Fairfax, Harpoon Louie’s, now known as Harps, is another great place to bring your pup.
The restaurant, which serves options such as burgers, wings, and seafood, has a nice neighborhood bar atmosphere to it. Its patio area offers shaded seating and a nice view of Big Fishwier Creek, and your dog will get a bowl of water to sip on.
Harpoon Louie’s can be found at 4070 Herschel Street.
