Fido may be man's best friend, but not all restaurants are quite so dog-friendly. However, there are a variety of options when it comes to taking your pooch out to eat in Fort Worth. As long as your pup is on a leash, they are welcome at these restaurants.
1. MUTTS Canine Cantina
Mutts' Dallas location is known for its one-acre park, where dogs are welcome to roam without a leash, and restaurant serving a menu of hotdogs, burgers and milkshakes for dog owners, along with treats like bite-sized beef franks for the dogs.
