Showing off your pet is one thing making others tolerate it while dining is another and rude

I'm story that you have had such awful experiences here in TV. It's always hard to tolerate something that bothers you so much. Next time, ask the wait staff to find you a table inside. Nobody wants to be rude and certainly nobody wants you to have a bad dining experience.

It's not rude to bring your pet to some place where he is allowed. Rude would be taking your pet somewhere where pets are not permitted.

Taking a dog on a patio that permits dogs is not rude!
No-one is making others tolerate anything.
People who don't like dining with dogs can go to the 99% of restaurants that do not allow dogs.

Like saying people who like dining with their pets should only use the drive up window at restaurants

99 % Don't allow them for a good reasons
usually health code
This is off subject I'll get blasted. I don't really care
The right to dine with a pet should be reserved for service dogs only.
I mean legal service dogs not the ones who claim that their little Pomeranian is a service dog because they bought vest online

People who don't like dogs outside at restaurants are welcome to try to get the law changed. Otherwise their opinions won't hold any weight.

Contact Representative Marlene O'Toole and tell her you want the law allowing pets to eat on patios, repealed and replaced. Good luck.

will not have to worry about sharing square1 with dogs because we will not be going back there again. there were not pets on the patio when we were there, but i can assure you that we would either have left or requested another table. the reason that we will not return is because the food was just average, but certainly overpriced. the burger was wet, and greasy. and the fries were limp. if i want a great burger, the best fries ever, and pay a fair price i will go to 5 guys.

You have 99% of restaurants available to you that are pet free.
Why on earth would you begrudge a few restaurants that allow dogs on the patio?

I don't know what the big deal is. Let them have elephants on the patio if they want. The restaurant is mediocre at best.

I agree with you 100%. I would rather eat with my pup than with some bitter old people. Just my opinion.

4 of us ate there Friday night. Burgers were GREAT, price reasonable for what you get. We will all be back. For those of you who did not enjoy their experience, go somewhere else. Stop complaining and move on.
