I honestly want to not give this place a good review just so people won't go and I can keep it to myself, it was THAT good! Starting just with the menu there were so many things that looked delicious it was actually hard to choose which to pick. My partner chose lunch, I had breakfast. The service was fantastic, kind, thoughtful and helpful. The food was timely even though the place was packed, when it showed up, it looked and tasted like I never wanted to leave. The ambiance is super cute too. It's off the main strip but worth the drive or Uber over! I'll definitely be going back. read more

Best breakfast in Dover We've been regulars for a long time Definitely worth the trip read more

We got take out on a Sunday morning and it was amazing . I got the carnitas bowl.I took a couple bites and the next thing I knew it was gone literally couldn't stop eating it. My wife got the breakfast sandwich and she said it was the best breakfast sandwich she's ever had. We got the Fat Elvis to share very delicious the bananas on it fuse with the French toast and give it a banana bread vibe Will definitely be here again when in the area! My only complaint is that they need a bigger space. When I went to pick the order up there was only like 5 tables in there and my takeout order took an hour but what else could I expect on a Sunday morning read more

I had the wake and bake burger - it was an absolute banger. My friend had the FDK. Drop the over priced big mac and get over to Fat Dog Kitchen, it's worth every penny. The burger was generous, over a half pound easy and it was perfectly cooked. Pink without enough juice to ruin the bun and make a mess. This burger was heaped with their homemade hash. Listen, I was raised on hormel canned corned beef hash. I regularly tell breakfast joints that I prefer the canned corned beef hash. These guys crushed it. a heaping of delicious flavorful corned beef and a runny egg to top it off. I can promise I will be back to check out the rest of their creative menu. read more

Holy moly, this is one of our favorites. When we lived in town, it was a no brainer. Nowadays this is our special breakfast spot

this is by far the best place to go, got one of the specials and it was mouthwatering and absolutely delicious would go here again and again... read more

What a cool place to eat at. It's a small spot with about 6 tables. As soon as we walked in you see all the cute Dog paintings. We sat down and she asked what did we want to drink as I said Coffee, she looked and said your from New York. We smiled and said yes we are. I guess my accent gave it away. I had the Cubano and it was delicious, my wife hand the French toast and when she was done I thought she licked the plate because even the maple syrup was gone. Super friendly and we felt at home. "I'll be back" in my terminator voice! read more

It was wonderful! The staff is very attentive and very nice. The food was out of this world. I had the "Boo" -- a grilled portobello mushroom, covered with fresh baby spinach, two pouched eggs, goat cheese, Hollandaise, pesto, and feta. And home fries. Delicious. We'll be back, again and again! read more

The food was very good. The service was super slow though. More than 20 minutes to get hash and eggs. Not the waitress's fault. It was all out back. People were getting annoyed because it was taking so long. read more

For all the states and countries we visit and all the food in the world we tasted this has to be by far one of the best simple breakfast we had.. It's easy to create a large menu and miss on many dishes. Here they have a simple menu but hit the target on all the dishes. Who knew simple eggs and potatoes can taste so amazing !! And dog friendly .. woohoo ! Thank you read more

Excellent food and friendly service! The menu offers a good variety and the restaurant is clean and comfortable.

We stopped in Friday morning for the first time and I'm so glad we finally made it in! I had the Fat Elvis french toast which was so gluttonous and amazing, and my husband got the fluffer nutter french toast special- equally delicious. My kids shared the hotcakes. 3 pancakes that were the the size of a dinner plate each. The bacon was thick and smoky. The service was quick and friendly. The owner was serving tables and you could tell she knew quite a few people by name. I can't wait to go back- the food was absolutely amazing. It is worth noting the place is very small. I can't imagine eating here with a party larger than 4 but I bet the takeout is just as good ;) read more

Employees were so sweet. I ordered the Captain's French toast and it was to die for. The best French toast I've ever had. The bread almost looked fried but the texture was just amazing-- crunchy yet warm and soft. 11/10 recommend. Recommend going in early, cute but small place so fills up fast. read more

I stumbled upon this place while while buying a car in Dover. It's a great little local hole in the wall breakfast place. Funky colors and lots of charisma. It's so small You actually have to walk through the little kitchen to get the restroom in the basement. I got the Cash's Favorite. It's a Benedict of sorts. Fried green tomatoes replace the English muffin. It comes topped with pulled pork, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce and sriracha sauce. They graciously allowed me to sub the pulled pork for their corned beef hash...it was amazing! My son got the the "Day After Thanksgiving" sandwich. It had roasted turkey, apples, delicious brie cheese grilled on thick cut cranberry bread. My son was nice enough to give me a bite...excellent blend of flavors. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some excellent original home cooking in a welcoming homie environment. read more

They have amazing corn beef. Respect the shifty menu but should have a few old reliables there, classic fallbacks. Only drawback is that its just too small of a space. Pick up/to go orders can be a really uncomfortable process. They need to leverage the space in the strand better or something. They use it now but not to potential. read more

Delicious breakfast place! You could tell they know their community. They were super accommodating to dietary needs- gluten free and dairy free options. Huge serving sizes too. read more

Great spot. No wait on a weekday morning. Owners are friendly and welcoming. Everyone appears to be regulars. The decor is very cute and focused around the owners dogs. I ordered Cash's Favorite Eggs Benedict, which had amazingly delicious fried green tomatoes that managed to stay crunchy underneath a healthy portion of pulled pork, poached eggs and just the right amount of hollandaise with sriracha. The home fries are fresh potatoes crisped up perfectly on the grill. Loved every bite of it! read more

Good people, good tasting food, look forward to going back. Ive cathered from them too and theyre awesome

The line was out the door for this friendly spot. We waited about 25-30 minutes for a table, but let me tell you it was well worth the wait. Once we were seated service was quick and reliable (our water cups were never empty). The staff had recommendations and even highlighted some of the specials that we hadn't seen when we sat down. The food was remarkable! We ordered the Captain's French toast, the Big Damn Burrito, and the Abby (eggs Benedict). The food was made quickly and came out hot! The Captain's French toast is a unique twist on the breakfast favorite and great for anyone with a sweet tooth. If you're looking to share, the breakfast burrito was jam packed with flavor and definitely large enough for more than one person to share. The eggs Benedict was on the savory side but still somehow perfectly balanced with the potatoes, English muffins, and hollandaise. I would highly recommend and plan to visit again soon! read more

Top breakfast/lunch spot in the area, unique menu that highlights freshness, versatility and flavor; don't miss out on this true Gem

Can't recommend enough! The food is amazing! I got the Nittany breakfast sandwich and the chorizo is Out OF THIS WORLD! Seriously try this place out! *Note: the place is small so there is often a tiny wait time. They do a great job of clearing tables without making you feel rushed! read more

I only have good things to say about this place. We went there on a busy weekend And had to wait, but it was worth it! The wait staff were awesome, even though there was only two of them they got the food out on time and order correct! The wait staff is also very nice to talk to, for one of the first times in a while I preferred to sit at the bar. The only thing is I wish I remembered what I ordered! It was a special I believe and it was delicious. We will be back soon! read more

This is a great find. Small, but the food is great (and plentiful). The staff is friendly and the service is one of the highlights of the experience...the owners really want you to have a good time. read more

I drove an hour to have breakfast here upon recommendation of a friend. Not complaining, that was my choice, and I do love a good food destination! The place is pretty small so I expected a little wait but we were seated within about 5 minutes. The staff was prompt, attentive and friendly and took our order right away. Then we waited...And waited...And waited. ....an hour after we ordered, our food arrived. Now let me say- this place is SMALL. Even at full capacity I cannot imagine the kitchen could be so far behind! And yet everything was very good. My husband got the Danny Boy omelet and I had the Cash's Favorite Benedict, both of which were very good. There was too much food for me and it was served hot. Flavor was very good. The home-made bread there is delicious. So if you have time to spare and you're not starving or in a rush I would recommend this place! read more

Excellent food and staff! Would recommend to friends and family! Small place, but they manage the overflow adeptly and the wait is enjoyable. read more

Excellent food and cute cozy atmosphere! Worth the wait (and you probably will wait, since it is a small place...but the turnaround is quick) read more

This place is amazing. There menu options are so tasty and then they have specials which are just amazing. The place is small so big parties are probably a no go. I sat at the breakfast counter. Staff is friendly and hospitable. My cup of coffee was always full. This is just a great local place in downtown Dover that I look forward to coming back to over and over again! read more

Easily the best food in Dover. Vegetarian friendly. Super creative menu items. Fat Dog Kitchen never disappoints!

This place is amazing! It's a small and cozy space, but the excellent staff turned the tables really quickly and kept everybody happy with coffee during a brief wait. The food is incredible. We had a heaping burrito breakfast bowl, delicious eggs benedict, corned beef hash, french toast slathered in nutella and a yummy egg sandwich. The kids loved it and we can't wait to go back. read more

When in Dover, fat dog kitchen is a must for breakfast & lunch! Owned by husband and wife, everything is made fresh to order with ingredients locally sourced from farmers markets and local stores. I had the "Bonnie"- a delicious breakfast sandwich with an egg, fresh mozzarella cheese, tomato, and outstanding homemade pesto!!! Served with delicious and crispy home fries and the best homemade corned beef hash I've ever had! I also had a freshly brewed iced tea that was made perfectly! The owners are so kind and are truly gifted in the kitchen. You feel a sense of warmth and belonging the second you step into their quaint restaurant! If you haven't been, it's a must-try!!! I will for sure be back! read more

So I got the ramen here recently. I'm all about noodles, be they ramen, ho foon, narrow rice noodles, wide rice noodles, thai noodles. You name it. I love noodles. These ramen are really really tasty. Great texture, great diversity in flavor, a little bit of umami. I'm not a huge egg person, but the eggs Work it in this dish. I guess I'd be a bit happier with more cilantro, but that's my token bitch. read more

We have enjoyed many meals from FDK, mostly takeout. The food is always FANTASTIC and unique. And there is something for everyone on the menu, but we almost always enjoy one of their amazing specials. They are also friendly and remember their customers, which is super impressive considering the volume they must get. Definitely a spot I'd recommend everyone to check out! read more
