Here is a look at some restaurants around town that are not just dog friendly, they encourage you to bring your pooch.
Fusion Taco
Does Spot have a taste for tacos? Then look no further than Fusion Taco with locations downtown and in The Heights. If the tacos get you there, the margaritas will make you stay!
Dish Society
If Fido is into farm-to-table fare, then Dish Society might be a good choice. With locations in the Galleria and Katy and a new location coming to Memorial Green, it's a great, convenient option for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner.
Killen's Barbecue
A spacious patio and some of the best barbecue in town combine to make it the perfect setting for a doggie date in Pearland. The free beer on the weekends doesn't hurt, either.
Barnaby's Café
You don't get more dog friendly than a restaurant named after the owner's childhood pet. With salads well-suited for Texas-sized appetites and locations around the city, this is a perfect place to dine with your canine.
Giacomo's Cibo e Vino
It might not be the first place you think of for pet friendly meals, but on the patio, dogs are always welcome. It's located in Upper Kirby and River Oaks. What makes it even better is sales of all special seasonal desserts benefit the Rescued Pets Movement. Win win!
