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.
Out in the suburbs, good pet-friendly options become a bit more spread out. There aren’t as many walkable areas, or outdoor patio areas.
But if you live near Baymeadows Road, Wicked Barley Brewing Co. is a great neighborhood option where your dog is definitely welcome. The brewery has an extensive back patio area and has expanded its food menu since launching, making it a great place to grab some food and a drink with your pup.
Oh, and you can also pick up a copy of The Coastal while you’re there!
Wicked Barley is located at 4100 Baymeadows Road.
