Dune Dog sign. Yes, he surfs.
Eric J.

This restaurant is classic Florida. Outdoor eating, bench tables and simple wine/beer at the bar. The menu is extensive, from "fancy" hot dogs to the best salads (the taco salad is always great) to local fish. My son had the dolphin (mahi mahi, not Flipper, by the way) and shrimp platter. A couple of us did the taco salad. My wife did the garden salad with garlic bread. The sides are all perfect: tasty Cole slaw, seasoned waffle fries, and steamed veggies are yummy. My son said the dolphin was tender and flaky. Servers are very attentive. You can't go wrong with the brownie sundae for dessert. Tonight was my first meal at Dune Dogs since 2013. It hasn't changed at all - in a very good way. This restaurant brings joy in my life. We've missed you.

Amazing wings and hotdogs

Local perfection. Food is always great and it's been a staple for over 30 years. Love the casual vibe and the excellent service. Best buffalo chicken sandwich around. Love the wings, burgers and dogs too. Will order takeout as well and it's always delicious.

My family loves Dune Dog! We usually go enjoy the specials on Wednesday and get there early before the dinner crowd. It does get extremely busy! If you go at 3 or 4 you should be okay. I got the fish dinner and it was really good! It comes with two sides so I got waffle fries and black beans. The fish is also huge! You get two big pieces. I also tried the seltzer drink Nutrl. I got the watermelon and it was really good. The only disappointing thing is they only offer seltzers, beer, and wine. When I come to a place like this I love trying specialty cocktails and they don't offer any. They could make some really trendy ones. The service is always good and the food comes out quick! This is a must visit if you're in the Jupiter area!

If you're craving a hot dog, this is the place to go. Unassuming from the road but the food is really good. The few times I've been there, there has been a wait. You put your name down yourself on the clipboard and wait to be called. We go for their hotdogs. The hot dog itself is really tasty. I love that they serve waffle fries. Drinks come in styrofoam cups and you sit at picnic tables. It's a very causal place which is always packed. We love it!

This was our second time coming to Dune Dog Cafe, the first time was in 2023 and both times it did not disappoint. My wife and I love the lobster night (Thursdays). The restaurant has such a cool vibe to it and it's clean. Our server which we had both times Gabi is unbelievable. My wife and I are definitely coming back to try their famous chili hotdog.

I liked the beach vibe, I had the chili dog and onion rings, service was a bit slow but I wasn't in a hurry. The bartender was nice and once I ordered the food was pretty quick. It was a pretty good dog.

The cafe has been here for a long time and I popped in yesterday with my husband and kids to get dinner. We were able to get a table and got our order taken quickly. It didn't take long for our food to come out either. The Leroy Brown's junkyard dog was topped with the house chili, cheese, and Dot's sauce. I thought it was creative they named the hot dog over a song. We split an order of onion rings for a side as well and everything was good. Our waiter was attentive and the staff was helping out with making sure orders were coming in and out of the kitchen quickly. We were able to enjoy our food and not feel rushed since it doesn't have a lot of seating. it was a "happy island" time!

Grilled Mahi, waffle fries

This place is popular for good reason. If you are a smaller party (2-3 ppl) I highly recommend eating at the counter. Always great service. The hot dogs are great and love the Chicago dog. My mom's grilled Mahi sandwich was fresh and not soggy. They give you a large cut of fish for the sandwich. The service is fast, friendly but they let you enjoy your meal! The waffle fries are delicious, as are the fried clam strips.

Lobster salad roll special of the day
Becky J.

Dune Dog's offers a laid-back, beachy vibe with a menu that leans heavily into classic hot dogs and seaside fare. Be aware, though: the restaurant only has outdoor seating, so during the summer months, it can get uncomfortably hot -- something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to the heat. Be sure to add your name to the list on the clipboard when you arrive if there's a wait. The food overall was solid, with most dishes hitting the mark. I tried the lobster salad roll, which had some highs and lows. The split-top bun was easily the best part -- buttery, lightly toasted, and perfectly soft. Unfortunately, the lobster salad itself was overly heavy on the mayonnaise, which masked the natural sweetness of the lobster and the lobster itself was ground with no evidence of the lobster chunks. The sprinkle of shredded cheese on top felt like an odd afterthought and didn't do anything to elevate the flavor. The steamed clams in beer and onions were delicious and Dot's Pushcart Dog was spot on! The tomato sauce is super flavorful and the dog had the crunch that held up nicely! Still, if you're in the area and don't mind dining al fresco in the heat, Dune Dog's is worth a visit -- just maybe skip the lobster salad roll and give the hot dogs, fish, or lobster a try. We'd love to visit on Thursday for Lobster Night!

Crispy fish sandwich
Tom S.

I saw an article about Dune Dog's famous Crispy Fish Sandwich which prompted me to try. I hadn't been there in a few years so I called my 2 buddies and I asked them if they wanted to go with me for a fish sandwich. One said "he couldn't" and the other said, "he wouldn't." I asked why, he said "what's the name of the place" facetiously. Dune DOG , OBVIOUSLY. He then said "I only go there for DOGs". So I went by myself. I sat at the counter and felt guilty ordering A FISH SANDWICH when everyone around me was eating DOGs. WELL, I'm glad that I'd did. It was amazing. I just had it plain with tartar sauce. I couldn't believe it but I did eat the whole thing. Glad I didn't waver from my original plan. BUT, next time I go back, I'm going to get the DOG just so the 3rd time I go, I'll know which one , won. Actually, there won't be a loser only what hits my taste buds better that day. SO, net -net. You can't go wrong with either fish or the dog........

Awesome divey bar and grill relaxing casual atmosphere. For a saturday afternoon, they had a big crowd. Was pleasantly surprised at their variety of food offerings for small place. I had a cabbage patch burger. Husband tried both leroy brown dog and a chicago dog. All was excellent. And price was good value.

Michele S.

Coming from Chicago I wanted to see their Chicago dog. Even thought there was no poppy seed bun, the bun they had was amazing. Their kraut dog always pretty darn good. The atmosphere. Was great out server was funny and very polite. Overall great experience and would definitely come again.

See all

Very cool spot on the Jupiter Inlet with great view of the lighthouse across the inlet!…read more The food was very good as I had the Mahi sandwich with a side salad. The piece of fish they use was bigger than the bun and the blackened flavor was spot on. My wife had the Grouper fingers which were cooked just right and an ample portion to boot! FYI, plenty of seating but you do all your ordering at the bar area for beverages and food. They will give you a pager type device that will tell you when your food is ready and you pick up at a designated space near the bar. All the folks are friendly and make your visit a positive experience.

I went here last night with some friends to celebrate, and was having a great time, but one of the…read morebartenders completely ruined my evening. We were standing on the side of the bar for hours, and my tab was at $200 at the end of the night. We were drinking and dancing, and nobody said a word to us the whole night. Then, when it started getting busy, this extremely rude, low life bartender (white male, 40-50 yrs old) kept telling me to move down the bar for some reason, with no explanation. We didn't understand why as I've worked in food and beverage before, and that place only has bartenders, no servers. If I was blocking a bunch of servers getting their drinks from the service bar or something I'd understand, but that was not the case at all. Then, I asked this lowlife bartender if he had a problem with me, and he responded that he did. Again, not sure why. Then, the moron called security over to which I told them the exact thing I'm telling here. This short little manager walked over with two security guys, basically for no reason. I guess they were all mad I was having a good time with friends, and standing on the side of the bar is taboo. The place was packed at that point, not sure where they wanted me to go. And nobody said anything to my two other friends, just me. I paid the tab, and left. Not sure why the idiot bartender had such an issue with me personally, must be mad for being a loser at 45-50 years old, and working behind a bar, who knows. Will not go back here for a long time.
