The Dog Spot

If your a foodie and a dog/cat person, you’re gonna love this place. The food is easily the best in town and the staff is happy and easy to be with. Don’t let the pet store vibe fool you. This place also serves amazing food with a rotating menu. You can tell they love what they do. We’ll done.

Wow, I was not expecting to find veg options on Joseph, Oregon but The Dog Spot did not disappoint. Please go here for really yummy food, vegans/vegetarians/omnivores!!!

First, the inside has got some great options for dog owners (and I think some for cats too!). My friend bought a toy for her friend’s puppy, and the owner was very friendly.

We came back in the evening for dinner and sat outside for a lovely meal. There’s not too much seating outside, maybe two or three tables, but it wasn’t busy when we went (and in general it was rather quiet in town).

I ordered the jackfruit banh mi — I’ve never had jackfruit before and I loved this SO MUCH! Ate it all up. Also I don’t actually like kimchi but I loved every bite of this meal. My friend got the chorizo street tacos and enjoyed her meal as well. Everything was so tasty, didn’t take long for our order to come out, and service and atmosphere of the place was wonderful. We mostly cooked each meal during the trip to avoid going out (with the pandemic and all), but I’m so glad we spent our last dinner in town at The Dog Spot!

What a pleasant surprise. After a recommendation, this could be the most unique, artisan and flavorful menus we explored on our trip.

The Dog Spot is a small table restaurant and pet shop in one. The food is incredible. We live in Portland where the culinary creations can be too exotic, to odd and too forced. But, the team at the Dog Spot mixed traditional ingredients with super flavorful alternatives to make the ideal dish over and over again. Two kids devoured there street tacos and Mac and cheese, and the wife and I had Banh Mi and a salad. The surprise of the day was how incredible the Jack Fruit Banh Mi sandwich was. I ate it all!!

Best food, fun spot, and supporting local families. Best of all factors.

Oh, don’t forget to get a glass of the Pomegranate Sangria

Thank you Amy for creating such a memorable lunch. The enchiladas were suprisingly delicious and the asparagus was even better. And topped off with a visit from Iggy. Was a very good day!
We will be back.

A great find in Joseph. Great food, great Chef, great service.

Wow, this place is amazing! The food is all made from scratch and is so delicious. We ordered the tandoori chicken sandwich, Korean shrimp tacos and mac and cheese. All dishes were perfect and we raved about them even the next day! The staff is so friendly and they even have outdoor seating! We will definitely be coming back.

Such a diverse menu but literally everything my table ordered was wonderful. tons of vegetarian options!!! I had the Bahn Mi with Tofu+Brussel Sprout Kimchi - bizarre item but it was so delicious. There was so much going on at once, but somehow it all worked. Highly recommend this little cafe.

After a long hike, this was delicious. The service was impeccable even on a busy day.

Can’t imagine a better place to enjoy the sites of Joseph with a glass of wine 🍷 , beer 🍻 or mimosa. Fabulous food made from scratch and truly superb desserts! Plus great gifts for your four-legged friends 🐾

Absolutely wonderful! This pet store is a culinary delight. They're a super fun store with all kinds of items for your furry friends. The side area is a full service restaurant with a rotating menu of expertly curated items.
I was given a tip from a friend that I might enjoy this place. I arranged a guys trip with a few buddies and we stopped in to check it out. The menu at that time was Korean inspired dishes. We ordered several menu items and allowed the chef to prepare a few options of his choosing. We shared all items family style and were taken on a flavor filled trip from start to finish. Everything was absolutely excellent!
Thank you so much for the experience and I will definitely be back as soon as possible.

Great food. The chef is a wizard and his wife makes a cake that will melt in your mouth. Truly a wonderful dinner 🍽 😋

Great little spot with a lot of vegan/vegetarian options. The chef will swap out tofu or jackfruit for a lot of meat options and the flavors are amazing. Bought a jar of sauerkraut for home it was so good. Highly recommend!

A pleasant place to drink and eat, with great food by a committed husband and wife team. Eclectic menu ranging from Thai tofu (delish) to Mac and Cheese and Argentine beef. Fantastically-priced Oregon and Washington wines, and save room for serious desserts.

Incredibly delicious food! Super friendly and attentive owners and staff. This is five star cuisine prepared from scratch by a master chef. The chef and his wife are the owners and it's like being a guest in their home. Amazing! Ingredients are super fresh and perfectly prepared.

Super find. Amazing, creative food from a chef who has traveled the world and returned with expert knowledge of many cuisined. The turmeric infused couscous salad , the north African shrimp tacos and the sautéed green bean in a fermented black bean sauce were my favorites. Wonderful, friendly service. There is no place for hundreds of miles this delicious. And the wine list is also very interesting and a reaj bargain. Thanks Chef for feeding us this week..

Amazing chorizo and potato tacos. The thicker tortillas soaked in different sauces above and below is innovative and a great mouth feel and taste layering. Copious amount of food stuffed in the tacos. Great price. Attention to texture, spice, flavor complexity and proportions. Well done.

The sour cream lemon pie changed my mind about sour cream. The crust was flaky and not dry. Filling was light and just the right amount of sweet with a delightful tang.

As a local who has seen many restaurants in this town, I can honestly say this place serves some of the finest food and drink in this area. The owners are friendly people who are enthusiastic about what they do. The chef is known to come to your table himself and ask you how your meal was. A dinner there has never failed to impress me. If you're in town, I'd recommend it. The shop itself is filled with everything a dog-lover could want.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff know how to accommodate vegetarians. Great salad and Thai fusion fried rice and curry. Waitress/ pastry chef apologized because the flourless chocolate cake was a little grainy, but I loved it.

Never ate in a store for dogs before, but we went in due to the good reviews. We didn't regret it. The Banh Mi sandwich and the gazpacho was excellent, the shrimp tacos we're good and spicy. I might have given it 4 stars due to the quinoa salad being a little bland. The nice staff, the coffee and the sour creme key lime pie were absolutely phenomenal though.
