"I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Didn't expect much but the food was good, typical pub fare done right. Good value. The lady behind the bar was busy but moved fast, no complaints. Give me some ale (or stout) and wings and I'm happy."

"Was expecting the Dawg House to be a total dive bar, but ended up loving the vibe there! It was a lot nicer inside than I expected. The bar was large & the place was clean. The bartender was very friendly & attentive. We ordered the eggplant fries & they were fantastic! Highly recommend."
