Local dog-friendly restaurants in Huntington

Gumbo Stop Café is a unique Cajun and Creole restaurant in Huntington that serves up some of the most delicious Cajun food you’ll find in West Virginia. Locals give especially high praise to the gumbo, but all of their food is a hit, in part because they use certified Cajun sausage shipped from Louisiana in all of their food. The café has a number of outdoor seats where you can bring your dog to enjoy some of the food.

The German flair of this location is obvious even just from the name, and the moment you walk inside, you’ll really feel it.

Hillbilly Hot Dogs is exactly what you might think from the name. They primarily serve hot dogs with a down-home flair to them.

No matter where you’re planning to go, it’s important that you have the ability to experience a variety of restaurants with your dog. Equally important is your dog’s ability to sit still and play well with other people, as restaurants can ask you to leave if your dog is a nuisance. If you’re worried about your dog’s ability to do this, consider booking a virtual vet appointment with Vetster to get a veterinarian’s advice about all kinds of dog behaviors, including your dog’s ability to go out and about with you.
