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.
For San Marco dog owners, The Bearded Pig is a great option.
The BBQ-centric restaurant has an extensive outdoor beer garden area, complete with TVs and lawn chairs. They have a nice beer selection and some of the best BBQ in town, as well.
You can find The Bearded Pig at 1224 Kings Avenue.
