Mooyah Burgers & Fries

www.mooyah.com

Mooyah is a really casual burger joint. They have pretty great burgers there. You pick up a card when you walk in the door and place a check mark beside everything you want. You order your burger (and any toppings you want on it), fries, drinks, or a shake. They have a lot of really good toppings. They have the usual stuff- pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. but they also have mushrooms, grilled onions and jalapenos, avocado, and swiss/cheddar cheeses.

They hype up their fries WAY too much. Frankly, they suck. I thought it was just a one time flop, but it's been that way everytime. They have a burnt texture. The plus is that they cut the fries fresh there, the downside is that they taste like butt. Their shakes definitely rock, though.

No Bones About It (Lennon's Take On It!)

I like Mooyah. Again, they don't have a covered patio, but they have tables with umbrellas outside. The downside is that Mommy and Daddy have to take turns going in to order. Not a good place to go by yourself with your puppy!

Mommy and Daddy hated the fries, but I thought they were ok. They are about the same taste and consistency of Mommy's favorite shoes! If you like the taste of a nice stiletto, then you might love them.

Mooyah gets Three Paws Up from me!

Forever yours,

Jason's Deli

www.jasonsdeli.com

We go to Jason's Deli regularly. They have a little bit of everything on the menu; you can choose from their glorious salad bar (my favorite), paninis, sandwiches, and a humongous baked potato full of barbecue! I'm sure there is more on the menu, but that's all we have ever ordered. They're a great place to go, especially if you have a vegetarian in the group. There is something for everyone! I actually prefer their salad bar over Sweet Tomato or Souper Salad.

No Bones About It (Lennon's Take On It!)

Oh, I love going to Jason's. They don't have a covered patio or any of that jazz, but the food is so good that I keep making Mommy and Daddy go back! They have outdoor seating (So I can come!) with umbrellas over the tables. Mommy and Daddy have to take turns going in to order, but the waiter always makes sure to find us on the patio to bring them their food.

I'm a total veg-head, so I love any cucumbers or zucchini that falls!

I'll give it Three Paws Up!

Truly,

Lennon

Dream Cafe

www.thedreamcafe.com

Hmm... I'm not really sure how to rate the Dream Cafe. Overpriced? Yes. The food? Decent. Nothing to write home to Momma about, but it was good. Nicely sized portions. The patio is what truly won me over. It is perfect; it's covered and has fans going in the summer time and heaters in the winter. That's a huge perk in Texas!

I orded some type of chicken pasta which was really good. The fiance ordered a chicken sandwich, which ended up being 2 entire chicken breasts! We'll go back, but not if we're on a budget. It's not that they're horribly expensive, but c'mon $10+ for a sandwich?

No Bones About It (Lennon's Take On It)

I loved Dream Cafe. Since I'm just a puppy, I don't have to think about money, so I was a fan! The fans kept me nice and cool. The fried zucchini was amazing. I think I ate more of that than Mommy and Daddy did! The waiter brought me iced water. Quite thoughtful.

I'll give it Four Paws Up!

Love to all my fans,

Lennon

Zio's Italian Restaurant

www.zios.com

One of the biggest struggles as a Dog Mommy is finding an Italian restaurant with a patio! We've finally found a good one.

Zio's Italian Restaurant in Arlington (they're everywhere, but I know this one has a patio; better call ahead to check if the location you have in mind has a patio!) is extremely dog-friendly. AND they're delicious and affordable.

For $29.99, you can enjoy their date night special. It includes 2 entrees, 2 glasses of wine, an appetizer, and a dessert. It's a great deal and totally worth it; you must get the mushrooms for appetizer- they rock! Oh, I forgot to mention, every meal comes with great bread with olive oil and herbs. Delish!

No Bones About It (Lennon's Take On It!)

I love Zio's! They're really dog-friendly. They brought me out a bowl of water and gave me some lovin'. I slept underneath Mommy's chair most of the meal, but I didn't sleep too long, so service must have been great! Mommy and Daddy loved the house wine and all of their food. I loved the piece of bread dipped in oil with herbs that fell on the ground!

All in all, it was a great experience for Mommy and Daddy and a pretty good experience for me. I'll give it a Four Paws Up!

Love to all the the haterz,

Lennon

Rusty Taco

www.therustytaco.com

Mmm. Rusty Taco is one of our favorite restaurants to go at night! Don't let the fact that it is a converted oil and lube place slow you down. They rock our socks off.

$2 Tacos, $1 Chips and Warm Salsa (with free chip refills!), $3 queso or guacamole, and $5 margaritas are sure to please. I recommend the fish tacos; they're incredibly spicy, really fresh and crip, and, well, just amazing. The fiance likes to try everything else. He especially loves the fajita tacos. This is a great place to go for cheap tacos, chips, and margaritas.

They make the margaritas with fresh lime juice and Patron. I promise that after one of these bad boys you're going to have a buzz... 2 or more and you are going to need someone to lean on! Everyone there is incredibly nice; every time we've been, the manager has come out and checked on us. They have a large patio and big fans to help cool the place down! Also, they have a really great mix of music playing. It really brightens the mood. I've read reviews on the place that have griped about the parking, but as long as you park in the back, you won't have a problem!

No Bones About It (Lennon's Take On It!)

How can I put this?

I. Freaking. Love. Rusty. Taco.

The management is so nice! He brings me out a bowl of water, every time! Everyone pets and adores me. The chips are great. The people are great. They play a lot of the Beatles; who doesn't love a place that plays my namesake's music?

Rusty Taco gets FOUR Paws Up and a yelp from me!

Yours Truly,

The Londoner - Uptown

www.londonerdallas.com

I thought it would be fitting to start the blog off with my favorite place to take our puppy! All three of us (Lennon, the fiance, and myself) absolutely love going to the Londoner. In fact, every Sunday we have an outstanding brunch date there.

The atmosphere there is great! It really has a kicked back, London-esque feel. There is usually a football (soccer) or rugby playing on one of the many tvs and plenty of fans- no matter the time of day! The patio is huge and if you go upstairs, it is covered. The best waiter we've had there is named Sean. He's great. Every time we go in, without fail, he comes over and pets Lennon. Then he'll bring him a giant jug of water.

Now, here is Lennon's review of the place!

No Bones About It (Lennon's Take On It!)

The Londoner is my favorite place to go! Mommy and Daddy take me almost every Sunday for brunch. The waiter there is really nice; he always brings me out a big pitcher of water for me and gives me a lot of attention!

Mommy and Daddy love the $2.50 mimosas. I’ve licked up a little that has spilled on the ground and I can attest that they are strong! Mommy also loves the $5 Bloody Marys. She says that they are spicy and strong.

Daddy loves the The Full Monty. It is a really traditional English breakfast- big and greasy! Two eggs, apple smoked bacon, English banger, potatoes, mushrooms & tomatoes, baked beans, and toast fills him up every time. Mommy always gets the fish and chips. She says they are crisp, but don’t have that really fishy taste. They always come with a lovely dipping sauce, but if you want vinegar, you have to ask.

Daddy always gripes about parking, but it isn’t too bad. You usually just need to walk a block or two. There is a really nice, grassy park with a lot of shade right around the corner for an after-brunch pee.

The Londoner - Uptown gets Four Paws Up And A Buck's Fizz from me!

Cheerio!
