The Family Dog’s menu is arranged in four segments: Snacks, Small Plates, Appetizers and Mains --- there are also a few desserts. Potato chips fried in duck fat seem a likely symbiosis, but these chips remained soggy in the middle, and the French onion dip accompanying them was only fair. Crispy fried rock shrimp were so doused with a maple sauce and fresh, chopped cilantro, we lost sight of the delicate rock shrimp underneath. H & D fried ice cream for dessert is the way to end this meal. Bypass the brief wine list and instead ponder the craft beer selections, many of which are notable local brews. Wednesday evenings are for hot dogs from The Spotted Trotter and the hand of Kevin Ouzts. If you go when there's a band playing (Thursday, Friday and Sunday), be prepared for elevated noise levels.
