Dog Day Afternoon: Romping at Lee Harvey's

During the winter months, you have to take advantage of all of the opportunities you can to be outdoors with your humans.  Since today Dallas is enjoying such gorgeous spring-like weather, the three of us headed to Lee Harvey's near downtown Dallas.  While the surrounding neighborhood near this bar/eatery has seen better days, there was no shortage of people with their pooches sitting in the sunshine at Lee Harvey's.  Best of all, on Sundays they close the gates and the four-legged patrons can run around leash-free.  Woohoo!!!  Freedom!!!

The menu at Lee Harvey's is pretty simple - hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, salads, and such.  They also have a good selection of beer, but your humans are out of luck if they're in the mood for a wine that's made outside of the DFW area.  They offer the full portfolio of wines from Times Ten Cellars located right here in Big D but that's it.  If your master prefers a cocktail - a Colorado Bulldog, perhaps -- they also have a full bar.

The 1/2 pound burgers my humans ordered appeared to be cooked to perfection and the buns looked very fresh.  Truth be told, I had my eye on the fries and onion rings, but I heard that both were "just okay."  Humans should be warned to keep a close eye on their plates, though, because some of my new canine pals were plotting a theft worthy of the Hamburglar.  In the end, the dogs were not successful with the planned burger heist, but they gave it a good go.

For the canine folk, the menu selection was limited to water and possibly a discarded French fry if you were lucky.  The water was fresh and there was an ample supply for us to quench our thirst while we were running ourselves silly.

All in all, I give this place two Paws up.  It's no frills, but it's great to go somewhere where my humans can relax and enjoy a meal while I romp around and socialize with the other patrons both human and canine alike.  And, for a puppy, socializing can be exhausting.

Happy Tails, my friends.  Until next time.
