Although one can argue that most dogs are cuter, more courteous and less picky than their human counterparts when it comes to eating, they are still barred from many restaurants that don't mind kids (so unfair). Thankfully, the millions of pups that reside in South Florida are lucky to be welcomed with open paws to a number of special local joints.

Our choices offer specialized doggie menus, shaded outdoor areas with cooling fans, complementary water and dog-loving waiters.

Burger & Beer Joint (B&B)

Copy Link
B&B Joint has the vibe of a Hardrock Café, the beer selection of a brewery and the hospitality of a Petsmart. Its ten-pound Mother Burger is a highlight in the menu, reflective of B&B’s lavish burger crafting, but their doggie menu features a more reasonable meal. Pups are offered a combo of ground beef and pasta they can enjoy in B&B’s commodious outdoor seating. [Photo: burgersbythebeach.com]

Lokal Burgers & Beer

Copy Link
Lokal in the Grove is notable for being the first restaurant in the county to use 100 percent renewable energy sourced from wind and solar power. But the real reason it merits all the hype is its delicious doggy menu, whose options are slightly more exciting (and cheaper) than the kids’ menu. Pups can choose between dishes like Marmaduke’s Meatloaf and Yeyo’s Chicken & Rice and to wash it all down, Bowser Beer, a non-alcoholic beer from Tampa made just for dogs. And in case your pup has post-meal plans, the dishes are served with a breath mint. [Photo: Lokal Facebook]

ROK:BRGR

It takes a little more than free bottomless mimosas for ladies every Sunday to draw a crowd. Well, not really, but it does help that your pup can join in on all the fun. Rok Brgr’s huge outdoor seating space is fully sheltered and equipped with enough fans to help distract you from the Miami heat. [Photo: Rok Brgr Miami Facebook]
