When you can’t leave Fido at home, here are five dog-friendly restaurants in the area for you to take him.
The Funky Brunch Cafe
The Funky Brunch Café is an experience like no other. You can make your own pancakes indoors or enjoy the brightly colored decor sitting outside on the spacious terrace.
Precious Hutchens, the manager of Funky Brunch Café, said the cafe loves having guests of all kinds, whether human or not.
“We love dogs here. Everyone on staff loves dogs,” Hutchens said.
Dogs will receive their own bowls and treats when they visit the cafe.
The Funky Brunch Café is a popular spot for visitors and Savannah locals alike, so their wait times are often longer than other locations. Hutchens says the coffee is worth it despite the long weekend wait times.
“As soon as you sit down, everything else after that is fast,” Hutchens said. “Food comes out fast and hot.”
Most cafe meals will set you back less than $15. You can choose to cook the pancakes yourself or you can ask the cafe staff to do it for you in the kitchen.
“It’s home cooking. It’s a decent price, and it’s a decent portion for what you pay,” Hutchens said.
The cafe’s opening hours are 8 am to 2:30 pm daily except Tuesdays when it is closed. You can check out the Funky Brunch Café menu on their website here.

fluffy mushroom
The newly reopened Mellow Mushroom on West Liberty Street is the perfect place for you and your dog to enjoy some quality pizza. It’s also a great place to have a little fun according to Anthony Sevigny.
Sevigny, the restaurant’s general manager, wants the community to know that his goal is to have a place where Savannah residents feel free to come and have a good time, including four-legged locals.
“We’re fun people,” Sevigny said. “We want people to have fun coming here and having fun working here.”
At Mellow Mushroom, customers can expect their pet to receive fresh water in their own bowl and in a welcoming environment. The restaurant has five outdoor tables that can seat around 20 people in total.
“I have no problem with people loading up the patio with dogs,” Sevigny said. “I like dogs.”
According to Sevigny, the restaurant’s goal is to integrate into the Savannah community. They do this by serving beer from as many local distilleries as possible. These distilleries include Ghost Coast, Southbound, Creature Comforts, Two Tides, and New Realm, all located in the Savannah area.
Mellow Mushroom is open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. They are open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays. You can check their website for a menu here.

Flying fish bass and grills
Located on Wilmington Island, The Flying Fish Bar and Grill is a 15-minute drive from downtown Savannah and minutes from Tybee Island. If you and your dog have hiked the trails and are looking for a place to sit and enjoy a meal, this is the place to go.
Launched in 2007 by Mike McMahon, this restaurant which was originally called “The Fish” serves fresh caught seafood in addition to burgers, wings and chicken tenderloins.
“We’ve grown from just a few employees to about 70,” McMahon said in an interview Wednesday. His restaurant has experienced significant growth over the past few years.
The owner of the family bar and grill said there were a lot of pets that came to Flying Fish. With a large outdoor seating area, you’ll never have to worry about not having enough space.
“We had a guy coming with an iguana.” McMahon said. While there’s not much a restaurant can offer an iguana, McMahon said all dogs are served their own owl of ice water upon entering.
