This was one of the highlights of our trip to Joseph. The food was the best food I've had in a very long time, and the owners were absolutely wonderful. Even if you don't purchase anything inside of the store (I don't see how any pet parent couldn't), I urge you to order some of the food!

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.

Had a wonderful Tom Ka Gai! And an excellent coconut cream pie. Love their unique and sometimes international food selection. Love to sit on the patio in the summer

Really good Thai food. The hosts and guests were super friendly. It was a bit smoky from the kitchen but great place near the Walla Walla mountains.

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!

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.

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
