We got rained out from paddleboarding on Sunday, so we ducked into Dune Dog Café for lunch and I am still thinking about it. Totally blown away by the menu. I ordered the Southwest chicken taco salad, which comes with their chili, and it genuinely hit the spot. I haven't had a taco salad in about 100 years and mixing it all together with the sour cream and pico was pure perfection. Just divine. My dining partner got the buffalo chicken salad and loved every bite too. Only regret is that I was so distracted by the storm show outside that I forgot to snap pictures! Guess that just means I have to go back soon and work my way through the rest of the menu. Can't wait. Highly recommend if you're craving something fresh and satisfying. This place deserves way more attention. read more

I ordered the fish and chips, and it was tasty. The fish was fired fresh, and you got two HUGE pieces of fish along with waffle fries (and another side). My additional side was the sautéed veggies and they were very good! The staff seem very pleasant and helpful. While I went to the Stuart location, they have another one in Jupiter and based on the people I was with, they said the service was the same. Very casual spot but good food. read more

We were told about this place by a local when we were looking for clam bake strips. Some of the best advice we've ever gotten in life. Cool outdoorsy type of place right off the highway. Clean but yet still outdoorsy. The food was delicious. I got the lobster special. It taste great with a lot of awesomeness The server was nice and it didn't take very long. It's 9 o'clock at night. This place is packed. read more

For hot dog enthusiasts, Dune Dog is the destination for the super-sized foot-long "Super Dog." However, the menu offers much more, including fish and chips, sandwiches, and additional options. Be prepared to wait, as the restaurant is consistently crowded, especially on Tuesdays when they have 2 meals specials are offered for $25. The place is very basic but the food is deliciious. Parking can be a bit difficult. read more

From the street dune, dogs is not something that I would have normally picked, but it was recommended. And when we got there, we were surprised by the menu, the staff was excellent. Our waitress was so helpful. We tried the hot dog as an appetizer. It was cooked really well. Grilled with bacon and mustard. Then, we ordered the blackened shrimp skewers, which were plentiful and delicious. It came with corn and potatoes. We really enjoyed the food and we'll definitely go back. We found out they're opening one in orlando, and we're looking forward to trying that as well. The only thing we didn't like is someone had their dog there. And it was laying across the walkway, it was a large dog. And that shouldn't have been allowed. It was blocking the entrance and exit. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Visiting family in Jupiter and went back to an establishment that was once called Dune Dog Dave's and now just Dune Dogs! So happy this funky place has been able to be part of the fabric of Jupiter! We went at lunch time and it took about 15-20 minutes to get a table. Our server was very friendly and energetic and made the experience fun! We started with a couple of cerveza's (Salifish IPA & Michelob Ultra). Nice & cold and served in chilled pint glasses! I ordered the foot long Chicago Dog (no pickled sport pepper) which was very tasty and my wife had the foot long Chili Dog w/onions & a basket of onion rings/fries! Good food and satisfied that craving for something sinful!!!! If never been try it out, you'll be happy you did! One of the fun spots in Jupiter! read more

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! read more

Loved this place. Local flair and a great spot to bring friends visiting for a real old Florida experience. Perfect lunch stop after kayaking in the park. Had the Dolphin Sandwich. The Kaiser roll was perfect for it. I can't do blackened but it did need a little more seasoning (strictly personal preference). It was definitely fresh fish. The waffle fries were a perfect addition. I like that you can see the kitchen too. Definitely recommend. read more

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. read more

I got the fish and chips and the fish was HUMONGOUS. They did warn me on the menu. I need to know what seasoning was on the fries because that was SO GOOD. Idk if it was bay? Whatever it was it was great. The family said the sauce to the fish was really good. I personally wasn't a fan but that's just me. The strawberry shake was okay and we had the dog with us and kinda bummed we had to take it to go to and the word dog is in the cafe name. I get it's probably regulation because it's not an open patio maybe? But felt the overall experience would've been better had we been able to dine in. read more

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........ read more

First time patron. For a Thursday night, this place was poppin! We walked around the bar and everybody had one dish or another in front of them and everything looked incredible. I couldn't wait to see what they had to offer. I went for the fish (Swai) sandwich and waffle fries. It was fried to perfection. Never had Swai before but it was a white, flaky, moist fish. Could have been slightly more seasoned but overall it was hot and tasty. Tartar sauce wasn't bad either. Fries were decent too. BF had the black bean soup, footlong killer dog and corn on the cob. He said the bean soup was decent. The dog was great. The corn could have used some butter. He's been before and raved about this cafe. This was really my kind of place. It was clean and everyone was friendly. I'm actually looking forward to trying something different the next time and that's a great sign for this cafe.. when people look forward to coming back. It doesn't get much better than that... and that folks, is all she wrote. read more

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. read more

Dune Dog Café is one of those secret gems that perfectly captures the chillaxing vibe of coastal life, like a beach bum's secret hideout, but with better Wi-Fi. Tucked conveniently on the way to the beach, it's my go-to pit stop before I get sand in my shoes or after I've already got sand in my shoes and need a break. Once you step inside, the laid-back atmosphere hits you harder than a rogue wave. Casual seating, friendly staff who probably know your order better than your own reflection, and a menu that feels like a love letter to everything that's delicious and possibly slightly questionable, because hey, it's comfort food at its finest. What keeps me coming back? Oh, just the burgers that could easily be called "beach-sized," wings that are so good they might cause minor fistfights, and hot dogs that are basically the MVPs of the snack world. On busy days, I love snagging a spot outside because nothing says "relaxation" like soaking up the sun and trying not to burn your tongue on that spicy mustard. Dune Dog Café isn't just a place to grab a bite; it's part of my beach ritual. A flavor-filled chapter in my sandy saga that makes every beach day a little more legendary. read more

I will say this place has incredible chili dogs! My only real complaint is that they're too small!!! Maybe that's just me being a fata$$, but even the largest size did not satisfy me at all, if they had larger chili dog sizes I would easily come here every day, because the food here really is that good, it has a nice outdoor setting, the staff was cool, constantly checked up on us which is always nice. It's a great place. 100% you should come here if you're around the area looking for a solid hot dog place!! read more

It's now a staple in my beach day routine! Just visited Dune Dog Café for the first time--and I'd gladly make the two-hour drive again just to dine there. As someone who takes fish and chips seriously, I can confidently say theirs were outstanding: golden, crispy, perfectly seasoned, and exactly what you crave after a day at the beach. The menu offers a comforting lineup of classics, with something for every palate. Combined with the laid-back coastal vibe and genuinely warm service, it's the kind of spot that instantly earns a place on your favorites list. read more

We ate here for lunch while visiting the area. It's all outdoor seating with a rustic beach vibe. We arrived shortly before the lunch rush, and a lot of the tables were already full. Our server was friendly and the food came pretty quickly. My burger was delicious. It doesn't come with a side, so order a side separately if you'd like. The half rack of ribs was on the smaller side but was tasty, and the fries and potato salad were good as well. read more

Really liked the ambiance. It was open air and had a very beachy vibe. Dogs are welcome which is a great bonus. They had bitch beer which was delicious. I got the blackened shrimp which was delicious. Nothing fancy, just a nice 'hole in the wall' place. Service was a bit slow but the place was absolutely packed on a Saturday night, so I don't hold it against them. I'd go back again. read more

Dune Dog Cafe is a great spot to grab a bite whether one has a hankering for a burger or something a bit healthier. One of my favorite items is their steamed veggies. This squash and other good time medley is seasoned and sautéed to perfection! Additionally, I really enjoy their mahi sandwich. On a recent visit, I exited my comfort zone and entered adventure land. I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich or something of the sort and it proved to be delicious. Our group shared an order of nachos which were constructed with waffle fries rather than tortilla chips. This unexpected ingredient was a pleasant and welcoming surprise. Accessibility and parking are decent and it's a very casual vibe. Finally, the service is as constant as the quality of food. I highly recommend next time you're looking for a casual spot or hungry after the beach. read more

Ok ok.... I know it's a community staple... but why, this was actually so bad we were laughing. The hot dogs are not even good.

Update.... We were in Jupiter, FL last week for some STL Cardinals preseason baseball. Wife and I decided to return to seen of our successful seafood massacre last year, Dune Dog, on late Saturday afternoon. Wait was short, service impeccable, and the best seafood trio of the whole week, that started in Key Largo and ended in Key West. First, we weren't expecting the trio to have 1/2 pound of grouper, 8 medium scallops and 12 shrimp. How can that be for $28? We both got it blackened. Nice heavy coat of seasoning and all perfectly cooked. Big shoutout to the chef!. We have been home now for a week and we are still talking about the amazing food a surprising value. read more

Our first stop after leaving the West Palm airport. We were ready for some seafood and relaxation after traveling all day. We decided to try the fried fish, it was a white fish but I cannot recall what the waitress called it. Fish was very good, fries were nothing special(mine were cold), and potato salad was ok I don't think it was made in house. We ordered water, which we shouldn't have. Had a rotten egg taste/smell. Just get some lemons and that will help! It was such a nice day outside for trying Dune Dog, especially since they only have outdoor seating. It is covered and they do have fans. Everyone encountered here was very friendly. We were only in town for the weekend so we weren't able to try Dine dog again. But we would go back for a quick bite if we came back to WPB! read more
