Stray Dog 401 East Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55414

"I love the atmosphere! I think it's really cute and fun so you want to be there. I enjoyed my food, especially the bourbon brown butter slider, the different types of seasoned fries aren't necessary it doesn't add much, but the onion rings were good and any place that serves onion rings with BBQ sauce knows what's up. The drinks are also good. I would definitely pop in for a drink again, just maybe not food because my friend didn't enjoy their food and got food poisoning from the raw burger he was served but felt too bad to send back. I love that they have a full vegetarian menu, and it is basically identical and maybe he'd have better luck with that."

"I did not intend to leave a review for this place (hence the no photos), but it was such a letdown that I felt the need to. The decor and atmosphere are excellent, and their beer selection is quite solid. I really enjoy the area it’s in, but we had such a poor experience last night that I hesitate to try it again. The host was courteous and sat us promptly, but the server was nonexistent. We had to ask the host if we even had a server, and we also had to get our own ketchup and silverware. After 15-20 minutes, the server nonchalantly made his way to our table and asked us what we wanted. He was not necessarily rude, but he was not polite, and he barely spoke. We got the food and it was decent. If I were rating the place based on its food and atmosphere, I would give it a 3.5 or a 4. The truffle fries lacked flavor, our burger buns were soggy, and the fried chicken was very salty. Unfortunately, the service (or lack thereof) brings it down to a two. I would not recommend coming here if you’re looking for a pleasant dining experience, but it could be a solid choice if you want to sit at the bar and order some drinks. The dog portraits on the wall and the images of local dogs in the entryway are charming and fun, but again, the service may be the worst we have ever experienced in the NE neighborhood."

"I'm a cat person and I still adored this restaurant! I brought my partner and her sibling here for a late lunch on a Tuesday and it wasn't super busy but I really enjoyed that because I was able to take lots of pictures of this cute place! The menu is HUGE! One side is full of regular meals and the other side is completely vegetarian with vegan options. Staff was also happy to tell us what did and didn't have vegan options. We also loved seeing a trans flag. To top it off the food was incredibly delicious too! 10/10 Reccomend!"

"Stray Dog is a fun, casual place with a unique menu, craft beers on tap, and cocktails. It has plenty of seating, friendly service, and great atmosphere. This is the only place in the Twin Cities that I’m aware of that serves the Chicago dog!"

"This place is really trendy inside. I always like to sit at the bar and the two bartenders were very friendly. Loved the music and vibe of the place. The food is really unique. I got the chicken and waffles and they had legit maple syrup that had bacon in it, which just sealed the deal!"
