Dogs in resturants

what resturants will allow me to sit outside with my dog

[BogeyBoy]

TGIF for one.

[DandyGirl]

We've eaten with ours at R.J. Gator's but it's been awhile.

what resturants will allow me to sit outside with my dog

Some do and some don't. I suggest calling the restaurant first.

[TednRobin]

Sonny's, TooJay's(I think at SS only)and Johnny Rocket's, allow dogs outside only .

what resturants will allow me to sit outside with my dog

A lot of restaurants with patio's will permit pets outside, but not all of them. It is best to call ahead because policies change. Up The Creek used to allow dogs, but now it is Codys, I'm not sure. Gators and Crispers were pet friendly.

[The Villager II]

They all allow people to smoke, even cigars outside, I would sure hope if they allow that nasty habit to go on, dogs, cats and parrots would be allowed.

You could say the same about old folks with walkers and wheel chairs. We love our dog just as much as we do our disabled friends and realitives. If you owned a pet, and not just a DOG, you would realize they love to be with you wherever you go. We take our dog for a golf cart ride and run in the fields at least 4 times a week. At least our dogs don't smoke, don't blow their nose, burp etc., while were eating. Most dogs have better manners than most people.

[Figmo Bohica]

I would rather have a dog next to me than some screaming kid that the parents or grandparents seem to think are the greatest things in the world.

[santee]

what about people who are allergic to dogs? must they suffer because you can;t leave your dog at home.

[Happinow]

I don't own any pets, but I do think they are adorable! However, I don't think pets belong either inside or outside any restaurant. I am allergic to all pet hair and have difficulty swallowing when I am around them. (I am otherwise healthy) What happens when I am eating my dinner outdoors with a dog next to me? Not to mention that dogs lick themselves, pee, poop and you probably can't control that when they are at a restaurant. I realize that pets are part of a family but you could just leave them home for a bit while we eat. We would very much appreciate it.

[old moe]

if i am there with my dog sitting outside, you have the choice of eating outside or in the dining room inside. I on the other hand don't, I [and my dog can only eat on the outdoor deck. Lets all try to get along and give alittle.its soooo much easier to be NICE. My dog has been to many eateries and has never pooped or peed at any. She is more well behaved than many peoplr I've seen in eateries.:spoken:

[Happinow]

Sorry but I just don't see why, as a human, I should have to sacrifice my outdoor dining experience for a pet? I pay for my meal. Does the dog pay for his? One of the reasons I am moving to TV is so I don't have to deal with children crying and being unruly in restaurants and now I have to deal with pets? You have every right to have your pets in your house, yard,take them for a walk drive them in your golf carts and cars, so why is it a big deal to leave them home for an hour while you eat? Seems a small request so others can enjoy their dinner. what is the world coming to??

[Barefoot]

Sorry but I just don't see why, as a human, I should have to sacrifice my outdoor dining experience for a pet?

Good news .... As a human, you don't have to sacrifice your outdoor dining experience for a pet!! There are many, many restaurants that don't allow pets, and just a few restaurants that do allow pets on the patio. May I suggest that you could call ahead and ask the restaurant about their pet policy.

There are actually diners that enjoy having these obnoxious creatures on the deck. When we take our dogs anywhere we are constantly approached by Villagers wanting to pat them and talk about their pets.

I can't suggest a solution for your problem with unruly children. They're allowed in all the restaurants and quite active at Town Squares, especially during vacation periods!

[old moe]

:icon_hungry::icon_hungry:Sorry , but sometime's I'm out with my dog and feel the need to eat but don"t want to go all the way home to leave my four-legged family member home. Also should villagers leave their visiting grandchildren at home when they eat out because you might be there at the same time,and don't like crying, screaming kiddies?"????:icon_wink:

[Happinow]

Ummmm...seems I'm out numbered on this one. I will prepare myself for those four legged friends and screaming children when I go out. Luckily, there won't be nearly as many children in TV as there are where I live now. And, people seem to be able to control their pets better than their children! I always have the option to cook at home, right? :)

You always have the option in eat inside. Dogs are not allowed inside any restaurant in TV - altho children are allowed.

[The Village Girl]

You may want to consider not traveling in Europe if you have that much trouble eating with dogs. They are allowed "in" the restaurants in many countries and usually are served first! I LOVE that about Europe!

I'm with you on this one. We were sitting outside one afternoon at McCall's Tavern eating and a lady with a dog on a leash walked by and the dog cocked his leg and peed on a post supporting the outside railing. She had to actually stop to allow the dog to pee. I was so shocked I couldn't say anything. Disgusting. It takes all kinds. I'm sure none of the responsible pet owners in TV who eat with their dogs outside in TV would ever allow this sort of thing to happen though. She must have been an outsider.

When the Florida legislature was the first in the country to pass the Dog Friendly Dining Regulation back in 2006, they gave restaurants the right to opt out. My advice to you is vote with your feet or move to another state.

So true! We were in Paris (and you know how they love their dogs in Paris), eating at a lovely restaurant, and an American couple entered. In a very loud voice the woman demanded a non-smoking table. The maitre d politely answered "Of course, Madame," and whisked the ashtray off the table. :laugh:

I agree with my friend from the North. Great story. LOL

...and Fumar, two posts in a row is absolutely unacceptable. You must make it three. I don't see you that often, you old dawg. Happy New Year.

How about we vote with our wallet and do not patronize these restaurants?

[santee]

well that explains why europe is bankrupt.

[janmcn]

That's what I meant when I said vote with your feet, move on. A third option is tell your representative to repeal this legislation.

[The Village Girl]

I think they did!

Facts about Pet Ownership in the U.S.:

About 63 percent of all households in the United States have a pet. (Source: American Veterinary Medical Association)

[schotzyb]

Do the individuals that feel that not patronizing an eatery that allows dogs feel the same about seeing eye dogs and other ones that are performing a service for their owner? These dogs are no different that your everyday pets; they have fleas, smell everything and themselves smell when wet. Are you going to boycott those establishments too?

[Oren L Miller]

It was so neat because in the restaurants the first thing they do is bring your dog a bowl of water. Then they take your drink order. I will never forget that wonderful experience. :coolsmiley:

Most of Europe is this way... In Germany, about the only place a dog is not welcome, is in a grocery store.

In general, Europeans are much more tolerant of their fellow man...whether it's their pets, smoking, drinking, whatever....

I'm hoping as we move down to TV in 8 weeks we see a lot of tolerance for all creatures no matter how many legs they have.

Wouldn't that be a fine thing if we were all more tolerant. That's going to be my New Years Resolution! :pray:

BTW, aren't you closing on your home in less than 8 weeks? I thought it was in January!

I don't agree. Round Two starts. :boxing2:

Whoops, I just broke my New Year's Resolution to ignore threads that diss dogs.

[duffysmom]

More and more restaurants are allowing pets on their outside terraces and I for one love it. Today I saw a beautiful Bichon at Panera's in Market Square and no one seemed to mind. :doggie
