   Came on a Thursday for lunch, much to our surprise it was happy hour all day! Tried a few appetizers from the HH menu, ahi tuna tacos and tuna tartare and both were fabulous. Note the tartare was on the smaller portion so if looking for a light snack this is perfect but if you are hungry you might need to add or get something else. I'd go back for those alone. Parking could be a bit challenging but we were there early enough that it was fine. Server was great too.

   My family and I just got back from eating here, we had a reservation for 6pm we were sat immediately and nobody came to take our drinks order or anything for about 15-20 minutes but the table that sat in front of us came probably about 10 or so minutes later than us and the server Ellie went and took there drink order fast and then came to us, which wasn’t a big deal at first but then she brought boxes to the table next to us and was chatting with them, and proceeded to go to this table with boxes already more than our table and the other table in front of us, we were running low on drink and were trying to get someone’s attention (a food runner and our server Ellie) but both didn’t hear us when we’re asking for them to refill our drinks while they were at both tables near us, we eventually had to ask the host to get our server because she was pretty much MIA (except to the table she was clearly familiar with and the other table) and Ellie proceeded to go to the table she went to before and ask if they needed anything and then came to us when we asked for her specifically because she wasn’t returning to our table, so then naturally we get upset and I said to the server that it’s not okay to not check on your table in between the two tables she keeps checking on and she said it was because it was busy which is totally understandable except she repeatedly went the the tables surrounding us. After saying something to her and getting a refill on my drink there was something white on the tip of my straw which could have been just from a bumping something while she was bringing it back I’m not too sure but I’ll insert a photo, after we paid and we’re leaving we thanked the host for being helpful and friendly and she apologized but she was NOT the problem. Very unfortunate because we were excited to go celebrate a birthday but it was ruined by bad service. Our server was friendly and the food was good but she needs a little more training with customer experience.

   Cool place in NE. Stopped for lunch. Drinks were great. Food comes in large portions! Great vibe with dog paintings adorning all the walls.

   We made reservations on Valentine's Day and selected a prix fixe option. Being vegetarian, this is a relatively new favorite. Our server, Thomas, was very attentive and made sure what we ordered was indeed vegetarian. The first delivered item was not. That was quickly corrected. Overall, the Stray Dog is definitely worth the drive.

   Stray dog always has great food options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians.

   Very kitschy place with interesting original dog art on the walls everywhere. Food is average for a bar/restaurant with burgers, etc.

   Our server SEVERELY messed up our order. And then argued with us that she was right and we were wrong. It took something like 5 attempts for our group to finally get their correct order. When we informed the manager he also began to argue with us and defend the server. Burger were alright. Fries terrible. Service absolutely unacceptable!

   Food was delicious. Decor was interesting. Service staff was very nice, though slow to grab our order initially. Definitely a unique and fulfilling menu with the environment to match.

    We got sat down by the very attentive hostess but then we had to get our own glasses and request drinks 3 times. And then we had to do the same when we asked for re-fills. The food was not bad but our waitress was very inattentive and did not care about our table compared to others.
