My lobster
Erik Z.

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.

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!

Amazing wings and hotdogs
Laura P.

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!

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!

Eating crabs with bib

Everything was great. I really like this place. First time eating here, we tried the hotdogs, cheeseburger, and crab legs and everything was phenomenal. Plus im less than 10 min away from the beach. Perfect lunch spot.

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!

Hi everyone, today I had a delicious lunch at Dune Dog. I ordered the half rack of baby rack ribs and corn on the cob with onion rings. Everything was cooked well and tasty.

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!

Dune Dog sign. Yes, he surfs.

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.

Grouper and Scallops blackened with fresh grilled vegetables and rice.

Fantastic food, as always, enjoying the friendly service, and incredible Florida breeze while seated at the counter listening to tunes in the Dune Dog Cafe.

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.

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........

We were served our coffee right away, and given an appropriate amount of time to look over the menu. We placed our order with a very nice young gentleman. We didn't have to wait to long for our meals to be delivered. Everything was hot, the eggs were cooked perfectly over medium. The bacon was cooked with the right amount of crispness. The pancakes were light and fluffy. The sausages were good as well. We were allowed enough time to start eating before our server checked on us and topped off our coffee's.

Upon my first bite, my nose detected the smell of cleaning fluid. I ate 1/2 with plans to take home the rest. Before we left, I went inside to use the restroom. Upon entering the restaurant I was overpowered by that same sickening cleaning fluid smell. Needless to say, I took home my box with 1/2 burrito & threw it in the garbage.

Great local spot! I forgot how much we love this place as it had been awhile since we went, but…read morewe'll be back soon! It's a bit hidden from the outside - stickers cover the windows so you almost can't tell what the inside looks like, but it's such a chill vibe inside and the food is always really good, especially if you like fresh fish! We started with the bao buns (you can choose shrimp, chicken or pork). They were really good but spicy! We took off the jalapeños so they weren't as spicy! They were delicious otherwise. For dinner we split the Indoroni (they call grown up Mac and cheese), the dish is HUGE and super filling, and a fish special. The fish came encrusted with their infamous sauce on top over a huge salad with roasted peppers, capers, red onions, and lettuce and a really tasty salad dressing. You get to choose from a few different fish, whatever is available that day. We went with the triple-tail. Super cute spot. Fish is always delicious and we really enjoy the ambiance. Service was great. If you have never been, don't be intimated by the outside. I know the first time I came here I was like, is this a dive bar from my college days? It's really not at all! Food is really fresh!

Ambiance: very pretty setting. Casual and somewhat intimate…read more Service: excellent Food: very unique chef, creative cooking, tasty dishes. Sort of farm to table. Very tasty choices but personally my opinion is portions are small. Worth the time and effort to visit.

The Hungry Poet is back baby!! (I love being Yelp Elite…read more I've just been busy!) "The Salty Zebra blew me away, The Black Grouper entree made my entire day. The burger was seasoned and the patty was fat, But those home made desserts....whooo that's where it's at!" This meal/dining experience brought me to Yelp immediately. I was excited y'all! The Salty Zebra (picked it b/c of good reviews and proximity to Barnes and Noble in Tequesta) They cover the basics extremely well: greeted with kindness and professionalism, seated promptly, and approached immediately by a wonderful server. I won't spend time here just know you will not be disappointed with the service and it was beyond pleasant. Apps Burgundy Escargot (Pernod Garlic-Parsley Butter) We asked for a recommendation from the appetizer section of their menu (perfect amount of selections by the way...I despise an encyclopedic menu). We were thinking escargot and we were so pleased that it was recommended...that sealed the deal. It was garlicky and buttery and served with the perfect white bread. Spot on. Entrees were freaking fantastic! Florida Black Grouper (Creamed Kai Kai Farms Mustard Greens, Colab Farms Glazed Carrots, Carrot Marmalade) I never order grouper. I go out of my way to order it because I don't enjoy white fish usually. Something spoke to my spirit (plus our amazing server highly recommended it) and I went against my natural inclination. Lawd have mercy I'm glad I did. That grouper was perfectly seared, flaky, flavorful and completed excellently by the mustard greens and carrots. I do t know what the sauce was in the plate but it was savory a bit earthy in the best possible way with a twinge of sweetness that made me want to lick the plate ‍ (hey I'm from Mississippi...we do that ). Needless to say there wasn't a morsel of food left in my plate. Other reviews complained about small portions. I beg to differ it was a perfect portion, and I have a biiiiig appetite. (I am the hungry poet after all! I enjoy experiencing three full courses and not being miserably full by dessert.) Bistro Burger (1/2 LB CBS Blend, Gruyere, Sweet & Sour Onions, Au Poivre Sauce, Parmesan Potato Wedges) Boyfriend got the burger. It was great--I am well loved so I got the first bite lol Patty was thick and moist and seasoned! I was impressed that they didn't stay away from seasoning with this burger. We suspect it could have even been prepared sous vide then seared because of how evenly cooked it was. Our server was even kind enough to bring ketchup for the potato wedges. Dessert LET ME FIRST SAY: the second dessert (chef's special) was complementary. I don't know why? Good karma maybe? Speaking of the chef... Chef Michael was working that dining room. ‍ He walked by our table and asked if everything was okay. Not realizing he was the chef we asked for a little more bread to sop up the escargot butter. He brought the bread out a few minutes later himself and was super polite. He introduced himself and I was impressed that he was so personable. He stopped by two more times to check on our entrees and desserts. I love an involved chef. I have a couple friends who are Executive Chefs in pretty swanky places and I love to see that bar being met. Especially as a Yelp Elite reviewer. You know how most people can't wait to write reviews when they're pissed. I can't wait to write reviews when my socks are knocked off. Back to dessert... Chocolate banana I love banana desserts. Some might be biased but this dessert was oooooooh wee deliciously special. I don't have the description because I think desserts change weekly/daily etc but trust me... GET IT! If you like bananas chocolate and caramel get it! Homemade S'more When I said made in house I mean it! The marshmallow the graham cracker all of it! It was rich and decadent and it blew me away. I'll be thinking about these desserts for a while. And again I don't t know what we did to get a free one but Chef Michael brought both out himself and I felt the "we go the extra mile" vibe. It was crystal clear. Sounds like I'm using hyperbole but I swear I'm not. Decor and ambiance was beautiful. Wasn't loud at all. Hands down a perfect dinner experience. We had been walking in the hot sun all day after this impromptu trip to Stuart and even in leggings and a T-shirt we felt comfy and welcomed. Thanks another review giving it to you straight no chaser from The Hungry Poet aka Elizabeth S. aka Lizz . Enjoy!
