    They cook wings exactly the way I like them.

    Cash only the times I ate there.

    Absolutely unprofessional place to go, we went to sit on the patio with our dog, to which we were told service animals only, On A Patio Outside. The table was a total mess and the lady came out and just set stuff on it, and we had to paper towel the mess off ourselves. Then another staff person came out and said they only accept service animals and we gladly left due to what we saw, with the uncleanliness and service of this place. We will never come back. Also Not A Dog Friendly Place when you look it up on Google. Also Thank You, since you didn’t allow dogs, we went to BB Rads which got a 5 Star Review from us, don’t waste your money with Dogs R Us, travel 5 mins North and go get some wonderful BBQ at BB Rads!! They are really nice people and have wonderful service.

    Stupid place does not even allow dogs outside and they gave us everything to order and comes back and say we only allow service animals outside

    Great food and perfect atmosphere. Very clean, and staff are super friendly!

  • May 30, 2026

    They have a great selection of menu items (almost too many good options to choose from). You can pretty much get a hot dog any way you can think of and then some. The staff are really friendly - excellent service!

    Small town that sure knows how to make some good oh Dogs! If Your in town looking for a quick bite give dogs R us a try

  • May 1, 2026

    We used to love this place for a decent cheap meal but my god, the new prices. $21 for a burger. About $10 for a hot dog, no side. Stick to Costco for $1.5 with a drink. This is bar food by every definition but it is priced well above a good steakhouse for comparable meals. I am not sure what happened or what they're thinking but it's at least tripled and for similar or less money there are waayyyyy better options.

    stay away from the french dip, no flavor at all. Worst I've had💯

  • April 10, 2026

    Dogs r us use to be a good place. Every since the new owner came her and her son has jacked up the prices on the food tremendously! You can't drink like you want, me and my family will stop coming here as of today and I will start going somewhere else! I wish the new owners go back to wherever they came from. I hate it here!

    Went for lunch. Had chili dogs. Great place

  • April 4, 2026

    Great place. Jessica was awesome!! Our Irish Doddle, Riley, loved his hotdog.

  • April 3, 2026

    Went for dinner and left pretty upset. Our waitress seemed to have too much on her plate and couldn’t handle 2 parties and a table. Trying to order appetizers and she just walked away without saying anything, and we got one way before the other. Then when she finally came back into the area she went to another table, we had to get her attention to continue ordering. And that was how it was the whole time. The food was decent but was cold, and seems like because our waitress was so distracted. Not sure if we would ever come back.

  • March 24, 2026

    Wings over priced for supposedly jumbo wings. $80 for 2 drinks 10 wings each and dessert! Too much....got one piece if celery and surcharge for combination of flat and drums equal. They charge $25.99 for a chef salad!
