The Ultimate Dog-Friendly Burger Joint in Houston
At The Burger Joint, the whole family eats together and that includes the four-legged members. Every one of our Houston locations has a spacious dog-friendly patio, and every patio is set up for dogs before they even sit down: water bowl stations kept filled through the Texas heat, shaded seating so paws stay off hot concrete, and room between tables so bigger dogs are not squeezed in. Our staff keeps organic dog treats behind the counter, and yes, there is a puppy shake on the menu, a small cup of vanilla soft serve made for dogs and served free with any order. Leashed dogs are welcome on every patio, no reservation required, first come first served. Grab a hand-crafted Angus burger and a cold beer, and let your dog do what they came for.
Puppy Shakes, Treats & Water Bowls
The puppy shake is the reason a lot of regulars come back. It is a small serving of plain vanilla soft serve, no chocolate, no xylitol, portioned for dogs, and we hand it over free with any order just ask your server. Alongside it we keep organic, grain-friendly treats at every location. Water bowls are refilled all day, and in summer we bring them out before you have to ask. If your dog has allergies or a sensitive stomach, tell us and we will skip the shake and stick to plain water and a treat you have approved.
Dog-Friendly FAQs
Is The Burger Joint dog friendly?
Yes. Every Burger Joint location in Houston has a dog-friendly patio. Leashed dogs are welcome on the patio at all times during regular hours, and no reservation is needed.
Do dogs need to stay on a leash?
Yes. Dogs must stay leashed and with their owner on the patio. Please keep leashes short enough that other guests and staff can move between tables safely.
Can my dog come inside the restaurant?
Dogs are welcome on our outdoor patios. Texas health regulations keep pets out of indoor dining areas, so indoor seating is reserved for service animals. Our patios are covered and shaded, so you can still sit comfortably in most weather.
