LOVE this place! Can’t wait to go back. I was so excited about the amazing choices, quality of the food, hot and super crispy fries, presentation of the items we ordered (served in metal food/water bowls) I forgot to take a photo of the 2 Chicago Classic hot dogs my friend ordered.
Mine was a Classic cheeseburger that comes with a spicy mayo. One of the cheese choices was provolone! Who does that?! I was also thrilled that the spice in the mayo was not overwhelmingly which seems to be a standard thing these days.
Definitely will return sooner rather than later!!

This place hit the spot! Had the BBQ Dawg, just under $10 which had had a good char on it, good amount of grilled onions, mustard, toasted garlic, chili flakes, I passed on the bacon crumbles, with and requested the barbecue sauce on the side with fries and served in a dog bowl, which was super cute! I was the only customer here on a Saturday afternoon which I didn’t understand because the restaurant was clean, the food was tasty & the portions were good for the price. Will definitely go back!

We were driving by and saw an advertisement for this place at the corner of 72 and 59. I was in the mood for burgers so we decided to give it a try. Food was actually good. Service was just okay. I ordered zesty sweet potato fries but got regular ones. Sauce was supposed to come with onion rings…they forgot them. Soda machine was having issues. Other times we went to counter to ask questions about missing items above workers were not there. Food was also pricey.
If you are a dog owner and love bringing your dog to restaurants that have food that smells good and they enjoy watching you eat…this place is for you and your dawg.

How fun is a place that serves food in a dog bowl?! My kids absolutely loved it. From the playful theme to the solid food, Dawg Park was a hit for our family.
The Chicago-style veggie dog was a standout—it was surprisingly good! They use a thicker dog than Portillo’s, and honestly, I think it works better. The toppings were spot-on, exactly what you’d expect from a classic Chicago dog.
The burgers? Top notch. The quality was right up there with Five Guys, and my husband actually preferred it over Five Guys—big praise coming from him.
We splurged on the “Smoky Garlic Cheesy Fries” and they were so worth it. Rich, garlicky, cheesy goodness in every bite.
We were the only ones there, so I can’t speak too much on the service, but our food came out hot and fresh, so no complaints here.
All in all, it’s a super fun spot—especially with kids—and the food more than holds its own. Definitely a place we’d go back to!

Was out running errands and wanted a quick bite to eat so I googled restaurants near me and found this gem. I ordered the California deluxe with garlic cheese fries. The hot dog buns were amazing they are a hybrid between a bun and a slice of bread and are delicious. My son ordered the classic burger with a side of fries that were cooked perfectly grab extra napkins. They even have a menu for your puppies too who are welcome to dine with you.

Fun atmosphere, can definitely say I never thought I would ever eat out of a dog bowl! Very unique. They have some lawn games and your puppers is welcome. Menu options for all.
The Thai shake was the best part!
**Downfall: Our fries looked delicious the sauce was yummy but the fries were cold. The basil Bowl was spot on in the flavors but the veggies would’ve been better warm.
Note-this was one of their first few days open so I expect this place will only soar up from here!
Definitely must try spot if you’re in the area.

O….M…G!! THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! Where has this flavor been all my life! I was sooo in heaven. How come this wasn’t discovered when I was a kid?? This place gives the Vienna hotdog a serious run around the park with the different flavors, ingredients, and the way their dishes are served to make their food items unique. I was getting off of work one day last week and wanted a hotdog, but I didn’t know where I wanted to go. I Googled the word dawd (because I thought it was different lol), and The Dawg Park in the Arboretum appeared just 3 doors down east of Xsport Fitness. The staff was nice and polite. The environment was clean and inviting. Tony, the manager, introduced himself and gave me a history of the establishment. I asked what he would suggest because everything on the menu looked mouth watering. I had the Muddy Fries and Ninja Dawg . Not only was it great tasting, but it was very appealing to the eye. Presentation and flavor are everything to me. This place is very kid friendly with a children’s menu, children movies playing, video arcade games, and a giant connect four. So, on your downtime, evening run for errands, a close by shopping experience, or a weekend out with friends or family, stop by Dawg Park, meet Tony and his crew. Tell him Mimi sent you

Food was great! Love the hotdog buns. The concept is cute and fun with the dog bowls and dishes. Will say, pretty expensive for shakes. They are really good but are 10 dollars each.

We were looking for indoor dining where we could take our well behaved pup in due to the weather. This place was well accomodating! It is both pup and family friendly. We had yummy burgers. I ordered the California BLTA, but I’d probably recommend the Ninja Burger or the Chili Burger, which was among the burgers ordered at our table. Our pup had a dog bowl before we got on the road. They lay a bed of rice down with an unseasoned burger or chicken breast. We opted for the chicken breast.

Absolutely no complaints about this place, from me or my pup! Staff is super friendly and attentive, the food tastes great and is at a fair price point. The atmosphere is super adorable and features single stall bathrooms. This is great for dog owners or just dog lovers! Great way to get out of the house, all while bringing your four legged best friend with. (Yes they also have a Fido friendly menu!) check out my Tik Tok review for more videos, photos, and helpful info! @thepeel88
