And don’t overlook the Mexican Burger, a hit among patrons, praised for its flavorful beef patty—although be sure to ask for extra green chile!
The cafe doesn’t just cater to adults. The kids' menu is a delightful touch, offering tasty options like Chicken Bites and Corn Dogs, making it a great spot for families. With an environment that's both welcoming and dog-friendly, it’s no wonder guests rave about their experiences.

The bustling bar scene, complemented by karaoke nights, livens up the place, while the spacious patio allows for a more relaxed outing, despite its less-than-scenic view of the highway.
Alongside delicious food, customers appreciate the **daily specials** that offer great value. For example, Taco Tuesdays promise two tantalizing tacos bursting with flavor, making it a perfect midweek treat. And for dog lovers, the cafe even provides a menu option for your furry friends – now that's what we call pet-friendly!

“ Deidra has always been great service to us, always attentive, Making sure I and whom I’m with is always taken care of. Excellent at what she does! ”
“ Best wings in town hands down. I don't go anywhere else for wings. Chris at the bar is a BAMF, making the best drinks! And Brooke(Juanita) always on top of everything. ”
“ I truly enjoyed my first experience at Ugly Dog. The Bartenders we're OUTSTANDING!! There was Chris, and the other guy with the shoulder length black hair. I felt Welcomed. The Mexican Burger was really good. The Beef Patty was Perfectly seasoned. However, the Green Chile was pretty much MISSING on the finished burger. I had to put my own Green Chile on the Mexican Burger when I got home. The drinks at the Bar were when another shot was added. I think I found my new Spot!! I can't wait to take advantage of the Awesome weekly, broken down into Daily Food Specials. P.S. I heard from a Very Secure source that the Prime Rib Fridays won't be available much longer. ”
“ Ugly Dog is a great spot if you're looking for an inexpensive, dog-friendly restaurant/bar. We brought our pups here when we came for dinner. There's a lot of food options for a great value. I ordered the "Dirty Bird" which came with 8oz of chicken (smothered in cheese and sauce) with rice and beans for just 12. They have daily specials, including 2 tacos on Taco Tuesdays. We also appreciated that they have a menu option for the doggos, a small bowl with meat and egg, which they scarfed down happily. Our server was very nice and brought the dogs some bowls for water. We sat on the patio, which was a spacious open area under a tent. The inside of the bar was very lively with karaoke, but the patio was more quiet and relaxed, which was nice. One downside however is the patio area looks over the highway, so it's not the most scenic view. That said, it's a minor gripe considering how affordable the menu is. ”
“ Sp here's the thing about the Ugly Dog, it's a super legit dive/sports bar. The service is always great. We had Diedra, and she was awesome as usual. But all the servers are on point. Drinks are cold, plentiful, and almost always well-made. ... ”
“ Went in for their Wednesday Wing special. Everything tasted great, and our waitress Deidra was wonderful! ”
“ This place is home to one of the best bartenders I have ever met. His name is Chris. A great part of coming here is being greeted by a friendly smile and he makes you feel welcome. Cesar makes the best food ever! Try the Mac n cheese with green chili and chicken. ”
“ Chris(Topher) is one of the kindest and hard working bartenders I’ve ever met. He has the best energy and took care of our larger group while maintaining the actual bar. If you want to go to a place where everyone is welcome and has great food and drinks go to Ugly Dog! Monday night burger special is an awesome deal and the Mules were perfect. The WWE and UFC paraphernalia ads to the atmosphere and there are so many TVs to choose from that you’re guaranteed to be able to watch whatever sport/show you’re looking for. They also have pool tables and a patio! Thanks for a great night for us to remember! ”
