awesome vibe and great food
Great find! Went on Sunday morning. Got a spicy bloody mary ( Devil Dog) and the breakfast burrito. Really good service and delicious food and drink. Cool theme with the dogs.
This place is cool always look to stop when in downtown Norfolk. Unique food options such as their Hair of the dog burger that uses waffles instead of a traditional bun. Walkable from Mcarthur Center parking garages and close to downtown waterfront. Check the hours as they are not open for dinner.
