Dining Out With DOGS in Las Vegas NV March 2024

Dining Out With Dogs is just a “Fluff” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It started with my late dog Louie. He always loved going out to eat. When he got elderly he came down with aggressive cancer. We were told that he probably only had three months to live but might make it up to six months. The nicest thing I could do for Louie was to take him out to eat as often as I could. Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when the weather is right and when I can.

We went to The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill in North Las Vegas. Today I shared the Great Greek Rice Bowl with Salmon with the dogs.

The dogs got to eat salmon, chick peas, and cucumber from this salad.

My husband got a side salad-

and a gyro plate with lemon potatoes.

The dogs enjoyed some gyro meat too!

The following week I wasn’t there to photo but the dogs got an In and Out Burger while I was doing something else.

The next week we all got to go to SNS Diner BBQ that was featured on Food Network’s Diners Drive Inns and Dives. They used to only have three tables on the dog friendly patio but now have several brand new picnic benches.

My husband started with the gumbo and the dogs got some chicken from it.

The dogs also got to eat hot links, pulled pork bbq, bbq brisket, and macaroni and cheese from my husband’s plate.

They got chicken and fries from my chicken taco platter.

The Dogs always love going to SNS Diner BBQ!

Can’t believe it got cold again. Took the dogs to In and Out Burger for a quick burger stop. They didn’t seem to mind.

Well that was dining out with dogs for March 2024. We hope that you’ve enjoyed and we also hope to see you next month!

Dining Out With DOGS in Las Vegas NV February 2024

Dining out with Dogs is just a “Fluff” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It all sort of started with my late dog Louie. He always LOVED going out to eat. When he got elderly he came down with aggressive cancer. We were told that he probably only had three months to live and possibly up to six months. Since Louie loved going out to eat I took him out as often as I could and Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when the weather is good and when I can.

We made it to #1 Hawaiian Barbecue. They don’t have their own patio but only two doors down is a community patio that we can use. Hawaiian Barbecue is traditionally EXTRA LARGE portions of food with lots of rice packed into a styrofoam container.

I got the grilled Mahi healthier plate.

It two mild fish filets over a giant salad with a hard boiled egg and brown rice. I give the dogs the fish without garlic on it, some of the brown rice and some of the egg.

My husband got the plate called The Bento Box. He got BBQ beef, BBQ Pork, BBQ Chicken, Fried Fish, macaroni salad, and rice.

The dogs got to eat some of his plate too.

Then they are back to me for more.

The dogs always LOVE going to #1Hawaiian Barbecue!

The dogs always love SNS Diner BBQ. By-The-Way this restaurant was featured on Food Network’s Diners Drive-inns and Dives.

My husband got a three meat (BBQ brisket, BBQ pork, Hot links with potato salad) plate that is very hard to photo because everything is wrapped in foil.

The dogs got to try brisket and pork from that plate.

Me and the dogs got the BBQ 1/2 chicken with macaroni and cheese. They also got some cornbread.

Dining Out With DOGS in Las Vegas NV – January 2024

Dining out with dogs in Las Vegas is just a “Fluff” story. It all sort of started with my late dog Louie. He was elderly and came down with aggressive cancer. We were told that Louie probably only had three months to live….maybe up to 6 months…..Well Louie always loved eating and always loved going out to eat so I thought the nicest thing I could do for Louie was to take him out to eat as often as I could. The good news is that Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when I can and when the weather is right.

The dogs got to go to SNS Diner BBQ in North Las Vegas. They always love going here. You might have seen this restaurant on Food Network’s Diners Drive Inns and Dives.I got a two meat plate with chicken and brisket. My two sides were slaw and macaroni and cheese.

The next week it was FORKING COLD and WINDY here so we took the dogs to an In-Out-Drive Thru

The Giant Aussie pushed the beagle/chihuahua out of his seat so SHE CAN OBSERVE.

Then they got to eat the cheeseburger at home because it was TOO FORKING COLD to sit at a table (I did try).

Look at them…..The Giant Aussie is smiling….The Beagle/Chihuahua is trying to inhale the burger threw the air.

The Giant Aussie is always first.

Now it’s the Beagle/Chihuahua’s turn.

I gave them about 1/3 of the cheeseburger. They will get the rest for snacks.

My dogs always welcome an In-And-Out Burger.

They also got to try Those Guys Pies. This restaurant was also featured on Diners Drive-inns and Dives on Food Network. This restaurant as the name implies offers pizzas, sandwiches, and Thrifty ice Cream.

We shared an Italian White Pizza (ricotta, mozzarella, broccoli rabe, garlic, caramelized onion, roasted tomatoes, lemon oil) with the sausage on the side for the dogs.

They also got beef dog biscuits from the dog biscuit vending machine that they have inside.

We did take out from Salad And Go (a take out salad restaurant). They offer 8 different salads, wraps, soup, breakfast, and a kids menu. But no dining is in here. It’s all take out. So we went threw the drive threw and dined basically across the street at Craig Ranch Park.

I got the autumn salad with chicken. (romaine, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, parmesan cheese, cranberries, pecans, balsamic vinaigrette. (this salad was only $6.40)

Someone is very happy to share the chicken and some sweet potato.

Someone else is also very happy with some chicken and sweet potato.

They also get some goodies from my husband’s customized Cobb Salad. (romaine, poblano, black beans, croutons, egg, steak, pepper jack, buffalo chicken, Greek Dressing, avocado, and bacon. He fed them some steak and some bacon.

Then they go back to me for more chicken and more sweet potato.

Everything was good except for the Brussels Sprouts….Today they were very bitter…..Usually they are good. Well at least they always were at the Salad And Go in North Phoenix.

The dogs also got to try some of my husband’s plate – pulled chicken, brisket, pulled pork, hot links on side, macaroni and cheese, meaty beans, cornbread.

The portions are crazy large.

I thought some things were better than other things but the dogs loved everything they tried.

Dining Out With DOGS in North Las Vegas NV – November 2023

Dining out with DOGS is just a “FLUFF” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It all really started with my late dog Louie. He always enjoyed going out to eat. When he got elderly and came down with aggressive cancer we were told that Louie only had about three months to live and maybe up to 6 months. I took Louie out to eat as often as possible and he made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when the weather is right and when I can.

We went to Hawaiian Barbecue in North Las Vegas Nevada. They serve Hawaiian Lunch Plates……It’s usually an enormous amount of food served in a Styrofoam container usually served with rice and macaroni salad. They don’t have their own patio but a community patio is only a few doors down.

Today I went for the MINI Machiko Chicken……

.This “MINI” meal is not so mini and also came with a side cup of macaroni salad.t’s a lot of tender flavorful dark meat chicken that might be marinated and it’s coated in a slightly sticky crunchy coating. This really is an enormous amount of food and it only cost $8.99.

The dogs are thrilled with it.

The dogs also enjoyed my husband’s Bento Box. (BBQ beef, BBQ chicken, fried fish, and Spam, with double rice and macaroni salad.

The dogs and us enjoyed dining out at Hawaiian Barbecue #1.

The next weekend it was too cold to dine out so we did take out from SNS Diner BBQ.

My husband and dog are very found of the gumbo there.

My husband (and dog) also enjoy the hot link and macaroni and cheese.

I like (and the dogs like) the bbq pastrami from SNS Diner BBQ but I do note that the pastrami I tried here in June was spiced and smoked and hand cut a little better than today’s…..Don’t get me wrong todays is still good but what I tried in June was phenomenal.

Picture of June Pastrami.

June Pastrami

It taste different than the thin sliced pastrami.

Both dogs are interested in the pastrami and the macaroni and cheese.

The dogs always enjoy SNS Diner BBQ

The next day during the day we thought it was warm enough to treat the dogs to an In-And-Out-Burger. So we did that real fast.

The dogs never complain about In-And-Out-Burgers……There are close to 400 locations of In and Out Burgers out there and this chain is growing too so one might be near you soon.

That was Dining Out With DOGS in North Las Vegas. We Hope you’ve enjoyed and we hope to see you next month.

Dining Out with DOGS is just a “Fluff” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It started back with my late dog Louie. He always LOVED going out to eat. When he was elderly and was diagnosed with aggressive cancer I took him out as often as I could to eat. Instead of his 3-6 month life expectancy Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when I can and when the weather is right.

We took the dogs to Those Guys Pies in North Las Vegas. The popular dishes here are pizzas and cheesesteaks. This restaurant is very dog friendly. They even have a craft dog biscuit vending machine inside that offers FOUR flavors of dog biscuits.

Last time my dogs tried the beef biscuits. This time they tried the chicken biscuits.

One of the nice workers there ran a dog bowl of water over to my dogs.

The dogs were very happy tasting some of my husband’s cheesesteak. (my husband was happy eating it too)

The dogs were also happy to help me eat my lakeside salad with added chicken.

Dining Out With DOGS at Those Guys Pies North Las Vegas NV

Those Guys Pies is a pizza and cheesesteak restaurant with a location in North Las Vegas Nevada. If they seem familiar then maybe you caught them featured on Food Network’s Diners Drive-ins and Dives with Guy Fire. Those Guys Pies is one of the few dog friendly restaurants in North Las Vegas Nevada and the they were open and set up for us unlike another restaurant we were thinking about trying……. Those Guys Pies also might be the only restaurant with a Craft Dog Biscuit Vending Machine too!

So today my dogs got to try Sniff Pistols Craft Beef Dog Biscuits.

Both dogs enjoy the beef dog biscuits.

I didn’t give the dogs any of the diablo fries because they are FORKING HOT!!!!! I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone because they are TOO HOT for anyone to enjoy. I’m surprised that they make them that hot.

Everything else was good.

I had a house salad with grilled chicken.

Both dogs enjoyed the chicken from my salad.

The dogs also got to enjoy some sausage from my husband’s sausage sandwich.

That was Dining Out With DOGS at Those Guys Pies. We Hope you’ve enjoyed!

Dining Out With DOGS at SNS Diner BBQ North Las Vegas NV

SNS Diner & BBQ is also known as Southern Nevada BBQ and is located in North Las Vegas Nevada. They offer breakfast, and a lunch/dinner menu of comfort foods. They also offer daily specials and of course barbecue. If they look or sound familiar it might be because they’ve been featured on Food Network’s Diners Drive-ins and Dives.

They have all kinds of seating inside.

Outside was only three tables but we managed to get one and the dogs were very happy about that.

We tried a bbq corned beef sandwich with a side salad. The side salad came out first.

The dogs got to eat my cucumbers from the salad.

My husband started out with a cup of gumbo.

He thought it was good and my digs were excited to eat some of the sausage in it.

I gave my dogs a small amount of the smoked corned beef.

They do a mild kind of corned beef here but it is tender. (The smoked pastrami here is more like an east coast style…Well it was last time…) The dogs got mostly bbq chicken that was very good! It was really tender, lightly smoked with crispy skin and really perfect! They also got bbq pulled pork, the tender brisket, some macaroni and cheese, and a little sweet cornbread (not pictured).

The dogs were very pleased with SNS Diner & BBQ and can’t wait to return.

My Dogs at Those Guys Pies North Las Vegas NV

We recently had our first cool day since May so we took the dogs to Those Guys Pies in North Las Vegas Nevada. They are a pizza and cheesesteak restaurant that has been featured on Food Network’s Diners Drive-ins and Dives. I’ve been here a few times and we asked if they were dog friendly and they said YES! They even have dog biscuit vending machine inside. So far we do like the steak sandwiches here and we also think that the Italian White pizza is very good!

Today my husband got another cheesesteak but the one he had today had extra cheese. My bad I forgot to photo so here is a picture of the last one he woofed down.

Today I got a Caesar salad with added roasted tomatoes and grilled chicken.

It’s made with white meat chicken that is moist. The salad is fresh and crisp and the dressing is reasonably good. But my dogs think that the chicken is great! My bigger dog periodically while dining slaps me for more chicken.

They also get a little bit of cheesesteak.

We all enjoyed our trip to Those Guys Pies in North Las Vegas.

Dining Out With DOGS in Metro Phoenix AZ – April 2023 – Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery, Culver’s

Dining out with dogs is just a “Fluff” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It all sort of started with my dog Louie. He was elderly and was diagnosed with aggressive cancer. His diagnosis was 3-to maybe 6 months. He couldn’t do a lot but always enjoyed going out to eat so I took him out to eat as often as I could. Instead of the 3-6 months Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when I can.

There are many things to know about dining out with dogs. You need to find a dog friendly restaurant. (not all of them are even if they have patios) Here in Phoenix weather can be an issue. 90 degrees and above is dangerous for dogs because they aren’t as heat tolerant as people. Also the food and drink that you consume can cause illness or even be TOXIC to your dog. (you need to check with your veterinarian for lists of safe foods and foods to avoid) Once you do find the right spot to dine out with dog(s) you must keep your dog(s) close to you. Dogs shouldn’t sit on restaurant furniture or eat off of restaurant plates.

A regular stop for us is Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery in North Phoenix. They are a Pho-Free Vietnamese eatery that specializes in serving around a dozen different Banh Mi baguette sandwiches. Some of their other offerings are rice plates, noodle salad bowls, and curry chicken.

Today I got a chicken banh mi and my husband got a shaken beef banh mi.

The sandwiches are very large and for me they are two meals if I do take out but here I share a lot with the dogs. I eat 1/2 and pull out the meat from the other half for the dogs.

We always enjoy going to Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery

It’s starting to turn HOT in Phoenix. Culver’s is a casual burger chain that opens at 10:00 before it’s too hot to dine out with dogs so we have to take them there. Culver’s is better than most other similar chains because the beef and chicken are never from frozen. They also offer daily made custard, chicken sandwiches and tenders, fish sandwiches and entrees, a kids menu and more.

We got the dogs a double butter burger with cheese.

he burger is moist and nicely caramelized. I remove the bread. and give them about a third of the burger. Over the next two days they will have the rest as treats.

He looks so funny looking up at the burger.

She sure has her eyes on that burger.

They enjoyed Culver’s!
