"The only kind of seafood I trust is the fish stick, a totally featureless fish that doesn't have any eyeballs or fins." --Dave Barry
When you think of dog friendly places most people instantly think of parks, Petsmart, and some other retail stores. After my boyfriend and I adopted the fluffy love of our lives aka Atlas, we have been on a mission to find as many places as we can that are dog friendly where we live in Virginia Beach.
We've found tons of local stores, parks, and beaches, but today we found the ultimate prize. We love going out to eat a few times a month, but we've always wanted to bring Atlas with us. Lots of places around here have outdoor patios where people like to eat in the summer so we thought that was our best bet. We called around and most restaurants only allow service dogs, which is absolutely understandable! After a few Google searches and some more phone calls we learned that Panera Bread and Lucky Oyster were our best bets as they allowed dogs on their patios. We chose Lucky Oyster because we were craving seafood, plus it is one of our favorite local spots to go to for lunch and dinner.
They've got great prices, delicious food, great happy hour specials, and good service. It's a really kitschy place in the best sense. Now we love them even more since we got to enjoy lunch with our pup! We were seated outside and the waitress was super sweet to Atlas as well as us. Everyone kept peeking through the door to the inside to get a look at him. Some people even came out just to say hello.
This absolutely made our day just by the fact that we found a restaurant that not only catered to us, but to our dog as well. Dogs are part of the family. We want to be able to take the fluffy children with us too. Besides, he's much more well-behaved than most human children! All in all, Virginia Beach is full of pleasant surprises for all you dog lovers out there! If you're looking for a delicious local favorite where you can eat with your dog as well as the rest of the family then this place is for you!
