Dat Dog

$ · BudgetLeashed only

A beloved eccentric hot dog restaurant that grew from a 2011 stand into a New Orleans favorite, serving gourmet sausages, burgers, vegan options, and creative toppings. Its pet-friendly outdoor courtyard tables welcome dogs, and the colorful Freret Street location hosts dog events like Yappy Hour. A second location operates at 3336 Magazine St.

Why it made the list

The festive courtyard is explicitly dog friendly, and the casual format means a relaxed, quick meal with your pup rather than a formal patio negotiation.

Good to know before you go

Local press and the venue describe dog-friendly outdoor courtyard seating; dogs stay leashed in the courtyard. Hours were not published on the page reviewed.

Practical notes

  • The Freret courtyard hosts Yappy Hour dog events - check their calendar.
  • Try the duck sausage; dogs get the attention, you get the good food.
