The Blue Dog Cookhouse and Bar - Boca

Loved the food and the service was great … very beautiful restaurant if your in the area u should definitely go. Its definitely somewhere id be a regular.

Only positive things to say about this experience! The food was so flavorful and yummy. The drinks were refreshing and unique. The staff was so sweet and attentive. I went for dinner and can not wait to try for brunch. If this is the start and everything i already amazing I can't wait to see what it will be in another couple of months. The music was the perfect volume and the lights were perfectly dim and romantic! Love it!!!

The menu is great. Service is outstanding. They served Egg bread for starters and I had a vegan burger. It was very different but great. The people made sure everything was good in terms of food and service.

We made the trip to Blue Dog for my birthday with the expectation of seeing the Fire Show. However they had a Brazilian Trio playing. We rolled with it and had a wonderful meal. The food, service and drinks were Excellent. They started us off with some very tasty rolls. Then my companion got her Pasion Fruit Margarita. She said it was quite good. We then had the calamari appitizer, that was ok. It could have used some seasoning. For my entree, I had the Salmon witch they graciously substituted out the rice for fries. It was good and enjoyed the fries. My companion had a lamb pasta dish that was out of this world. I am sorry that I did not order. Our waiter brought out a Cream Brule with a candle and a happy b day song to finish the meal. Overall we enjoyed our meal and had outstanding service. We will return in the future. :)

If you've yet to experience this dining spot, you must! Hat's off the to the Chef! His love of cooking and flavors comes through the menu selections. Cocktails are fresh and decadently paired with menu options. Service is five star! We enjoyed Mother's Day with amazing live music and brunch options. Of course, I highly recommend a Sunday but, the atmosphere in the evening must be beautiful with candle light throughout. Outdoor and bar dining available. Recommend a reservation yet not required..Yet! Ask for Carlos, amazing and knowledgeable Waiter!

Shane is the best waiter. He provides excellent service and is very attentive to customers. I suggest giving him a raise

Amazing restaurant, a must go in Boca Raton. We were greeted immediately by Francesco. He is numero 1!!! He provided us with complimentary Prosecco as a welcome. The food was spectacular. We had octopus, bone marrow crab, tuna tartare, croquettes and d oysters. Everything was good! To top it off, they have a very enthusiastic fire show on the bourbon.

*Drinks* Iron goddess Golden hour Promise of paradise West Palm Showed up for 80's night because our favorite bartender Iker is here! We didn't get food but we ordered cocktails. They were so tasty. The live band was jamming making it a fun and enjoyable night. We need to repeat to try the rest of the cocktails.

This was our first time here and it definitely won’t be our last! Ordered the bone marrow crab cake, calamari, and sliders. The food was fantastic and so were the drinks! Our waitress was super nice and attentive. The ambiance beautiful as well. We can’t wait to go back!

I visited for brunch last weekend with my wife and 11 year old son. My son enjoyed a huge helping of chocolate chip pancakes, eating them all (which is unusual) and proclaimed it his new favorite restaurant. I had a burger with blue cheese and my wife had an egg/avocado dish. We enjoyed the cocktails very much and the server was excellent. The atmosphere was very nice, I would recommend sitting up front or at the bar for the best view outside - the back can be a little dark (ideal for dinner, not so much for brunch). We asked to see a dinner menu as we plan to return soon. The entrance from inside the mall is completely unmarked and a little odd - leading you down a dark but nicely finished hallway, but you'll have to look hard for it, but it's very much worth it - it makes shopping at the mall much more enjoyable.

It is in the town center Mall of Boca, they play latin Music Saturday, but very late, at 11 pm. Too late

I came on a Friday and they had a dj and a live dancer which was really nice.The atmosphere was amazing and Francesco made sure we were taken care of all night. We got a bunch of appetizers and everything was delicious, the grilled octopus and truffle mushroom croquettes were my favorite. They also have a bunch of cool drinks to choose from and the bartenders were super helpful, I’ll definitely be back!

The beautiful ladies of Las Viajeras Aventureras de Boca Raton would like to thank Antoni, Elizabeth and their staff, for welcoming us last night for what became a very memorable “International Women’s Day” celebration along with a few birthdays. Blue Dog made it so special for us. We had an absolute killer time (our WhatsApp chat won’t stop buzzin’!), starting with the venue’s atmosphere (we reserved the entire left side of the bar and part of the patio), the music (DJ Alfredo was a DJ GOD with his incredible selection of a variety of music that had everyone begging for more from 7:30-2am!), the food, their service, the energy of the live music with their band Avenida Sur …. Everything! Absolutely priceless! We will definitely be coming back through and through! This place’s vibe is bringing back memories from the good ‘ol Blue Martini days. They have something every night for every age group and gente to enjoy!! Thank you, BlueDog!

Everything we ordered was so delicious… the service was great! The bartender; Jaime went above and beyond to assist the server making our experience even more enjoyable…. He outfitted was so festive, it went with the music… NO COMPLAINTS

JESSICA OUR SERVER WAS PHENOMENAL WE LOVE HER goes above and beyond we’ve been coming to blue dog for awhile but stopped for a little due to bad service and management being rude we tried again on Valentine’s Day. Menu knowlage was on point and same for her wine knowledge I would of bought a house from her. Such an amazing asset to the company. Plus she’s gorgeous inside and out! Special night at the blue dog for my husband and I!!!

Exceptional Experience, Thanks to Jamie! We had a truly wonderful time at Blue Dog last night! The food and drinks were fantastic, but what truly elevated our evening was the service we received from our bartender/server, Jamie. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu and drink specials. Jamie made us feel welcome and checked on us just the right amount, ensuring our glasses were never empty and everything was to our liking. She handled our order efficiently and with a great, positive attitude. It's rare to find someone who excels equally as a bartender and a server, and Jamie is a true professional. She definitely made our visit memorable! If you're dining here, we highly recommend asking for Jamie's section (or sitting at the bar when she's working). Thank you, Jamie, for your outstanding service! We will absolutely be back.

I had such a wonderful experience at The Blue Dog! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the menu and the service. Everything came out perfectly timed, and the staff was attentive without being intrusive. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a casual meal or celebrate a special occasion. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend The Blue Dog to anyone looking for great food and great vibes!

This is one of the best food places restaurants in Boca Town Center mall They are attentive honest caring people especially the Mangger Anthony is so polite enthusistic Cheerfull making everyone he meets feel happy content & leaves a feeling with cud'syomers that you will keep coming back to him & bring your friends Also Ilivia is a special warm attentive person who understands the business of food & beverage . I can highly recommend this place as a rising star in Boca Raton

Decent little restaurant at the Boca Town Center mall. Gets louder as the night goes on. But if you're looking for a decent happy hour with eateries type vibe, this suits it. Service was great, food was okay. Had a burrata dish with added chicken (without chicken, it would have been blah). My friend ordered calamari and a burger, which was mid... the drinks were better than the food but it wasn't by much. The waitress was very nice (Sienna).

Went with a friend to listen to a band here. I liked the venue but it was packed!!! Maybe if we went on a different day/evening when there’s not an event, might have been better. Igor, our server, was great! He was challenged with other tables that were rude and demanding. Never lost his cool and was polite and attentive to our table and our food and drink needs. Thanks Igor! 👍🏻 Ample bar size and selections! I’ll return to get a better feel, another time. It was a fun night, listening to Studio 54 Band.

Great new restaurant, however 29 dollars for a salad is a little pricey. The steak was amazing, our server great, along with the bartender and rest of the staff. Cheesecake desert with coffee topping was delicious. It's next to the container store at town center mall, as GPS will take you in circles. I will be in touch with owner for some suggestions that will improve his business .

I came here for a DJ event,we purchased tickets in advance. When we arrived, there were plenty of tables available, and we asked the host if we could sit. We were told there were no tables available. He was short & kinda dismissive. We then went to the bar, which was extremely crowded and understaffed, and waited over 20 minutes to get a drinks. After that, we tried to find a comfortable spot to settle in and stood near an empty booth. That booth remained empty the entire night. I asked again if we could sit there and was told no. Our group was willing to order food and additional cocktails, but we were repeatedly told we could not sit. After waiting another 30 minutes at the bar for 2nd round, we gave up on bar service altogether and decided to just dance and enjoy the event. There were six of us, fully prepared to spend money on food and drinks, but it seemed our business wasn’t needed. Eventually, as the venue became more crowded, we claimed the empty booth simply to have a place to sit and dance and place our drinks. No one ever came to use that table. It’s a shame, because we genuinely enjoyed the event itself, but due to the service experience, I’m not sure I would return.

Blah, I guess. Service is good and food is okay but nothing special. If you want deep fried food with bad steak and undercooked shrimp then you’ve found the right place. Yes, I’m talking about their surf and turf which is steak + shrimp. Atmosphere is nice inside and the desserts were good. Lots of parking as you’re at the mall.

First time here Love the look of the inside! Service was ok. She was super sweet but took awhile to come back to check on us. (The place wasn't busy at this point) I'll be honest... it's pricy. And it's fine if it's great.. Margaritas were good! Decently strong but sooo small with lots of ice and not even filled to the top! The table behind me got their drink and wow if I was paying this amount on a drink and got that size.... It better be strong if it's that small. The calamari was decent. I've had better. For $18 I want my calamari to be soft...a good amount of pieces were chewy. Took forever to get more of the sauce that comes with it. My mom and I got the Margarita flatbread. Again it was good but nothing worth the price. The men got the cheezus burger and pollo loco Burger was good but had better The chicken sandwich was good ! Altogether, the ambience was the best part. Food was alright for the price. I have had cheaper that tasted better..... sorry Really wanted to love this place :(

Food was great. Really.. But... Maybe it was just one time thing, but for NYs eve this place wasn't ready in 2025 at all. Waiting to be serve for almost 3+ hours is not normal. Even I understand in Boca many serving places have shortage if stuff.

I came here because the group "Lime" was performing, otherwise I would not have thought of coming here. The service was slow, the food was not cooked as requested. It needed to be sent back twice. The bathrooms were disgusting. Water on the floor, which I hope was water. Toliet paper thrown on the floor. Wallpaper was was peeling from the bathroom walls. I'm not sure if it was under renovation, but if it was, they could have posted a sign saying so. Nextime, I will eat and use the bathroom somewhere else before coming here.

I went to this restaurant on a Tuesday and invited my family — we were a party of 11. There was an event that night, and from the beginning the waitress seemed very stressed, which clearly affected the service. We ordered beers that arrived warm (yes, warm). When we mentioned it, the waitress told us to just add ice. Because of that response, I personally went to the bar and asked the bartender for properly cold beers. The surprise came at the end of the night: we were charged for the warm beers we had returned, as well as for the new ones. To make matters worse, a 20% gratuity had already been added automatically, and without realizing it, I left an additional 18% tip on top of that. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. I understand that event nights can be busy, but the service, customer care, and final billing were far below expectations.

This is a one and done for me. We wanted something light. Wanted to like it. Mac & Cheese balls came in a pasta sauce, not sure why. Margarita flatbread, spicy tuna roll and Philadelphia roll were meh. The corn fritters were the best part. And she forgot my drink. Not sure why because there wasn't but 6 people in there last night.

My review is meant to be constructive, because I see potential. My friends and I went to their event with Cynthia. For an event like this, they should have removed tables to allow for room to dance . There’s only 1 bar and seats preventing us from ordering because people are sitting there and won’t move. Again, for an event you should remove the bar stools to allow room and ability to order a drink. A nice gentleman gave up his seat to let us order, we waited over an hour to get a drinks. There was maybe 5 bartenders but they were only serving the ends of the bar and completely ignored us. Several other customers told the bartenders we had been waiting and it fell on ear. When someone finally took our order which was simple, 4, glasses of wine. She only gave us 2 and walked off and didn’t look back. We waited another 10 mins to get the rest of our order. Totally unacceptable… the amount of revenue loss opportunities is astounding. We left after Cynthia’s set due to the poor service! We would have stayed otherwise.

the food was horrible. They said “herb crusted lamb chops” and smothered it in radishes it was disgusting and gave a chill up the spine to bite into the food was inedible. If you are to include something so strong like radishes in a dish be sure to include it in the description on the menu. on top of that my partner ordered medium well steak and i came bloody rare. I came with expectations and was severely disappointed. I will never be coming back….. At least the drinks were good…

They tell you reservations but the place had 2 tables being used . We went for the 1.5 lb lobster… what a joke. Black on the inside..creamed spinach left an odd taste. They had loud music and mma fighting on a large screen. Not our cup of tea and would not recommend going . Especially if you are a lobster lover!!!!

Terrible experience. An entrée came out raw and inedible. They did take this off of the bill. Don’t bother asking for condiments because they may never come. Or when they do, your food will be cold! Don’t go to the Blue Dog Cook house unless you like being disappointed with your food, and want to go home hungry. The waiter was very nice.

I have never had such a New Year in my life , my family and children, we celebrated the New Year hungry, on the VIP table there were unwashed grapes and a couple of tangerines, for the children there was absolutely no food, no snacks, even no bread, the kitchen closed at 2 we could not wait any longer, as the hungry children started crying. I would not recommend anyone even to an enemy. You can spend $300 per person somewhere else.

Really disappointing experience here. No personality - the menu has sushi, burgers and brunch. Service was mediocre. After a long while our server gave us different menus (some things from this one are available but some things from this one are unavailable, you ge the gist) said they had a Michelin star chef redoing the menu. Well, not sure what he’s doing honestly. Oysters were tiny and had no flavor, salmon crispy rice cakes were stale and had probably been fried hours ago, cacio & pepe pasta was a buttered water down spaghetti, and the beet salad was a joke. The only thing salvable were the fries from the kids menu.

went for a group brunch, with a little over half the tables taken up, but definitely not full tables. got our app in 10 minutes, never received our brunch order as we asked after 45 minutes to not even bring it out. server was sympathetic, but the gm was cold and didnt want to talk other than "its coming out soon." we were looking to spend $200 easy, and don't expect a handout, but feel like we shouldn't have had to pay for anything since we were there for 75 minutes with a drink and small app only. there were multiple other tables in the group that left without their food. man this place has gone downhill. food wasnt even coming out for others for long stretches.

We came to see our favorite DJ on Saturday Feb 7 as did many of our friends. We had a terrible waitress but put up with it. When it was time to pay the bill she refused to show us a receipt as it was $652??? 7 of us and 2 people shared a meal! I asked if tip was included because there was 6 of us. She said No and proceeded to charge an additional $120 When we got home we calculated the meal and drinks which was much lower than quoted. Called the next day and asked for Manager and he said he couldn’t help us. We will not recommend this restaurant to any of our friends and will definitely never go there again

I met a friend for a late lunch early dinner and the service was awful. The meal was even worse. The lobster pot pie had chewy lobster, the beet salad had a few pieces of beets with lots of goat cheese and the sliders were nothing to write home about. No bread with our meal and not once did the server offer another drink or water refill. The kicker was a frozen dessert!! Management and kitchen must have changed, but I certainly won’t be going back! Sad!!

My husband and I stopped in for a quick drink and app during their happy hour at the bar before shopping. When we arrived, the bartender gave up menu that was crinkled and used, told us they were in shift change and someone else would help us. Also, no rice 45 mins because it was cooking. Half the food on happy hour menu is sushi so there goes that. At least 10 mins goes by without the new bartender coming so we left. I can’t comment on the food but I wouldn’t return and wouldn’t recommend.

First time coming to this restaurant. I passed by it twice because it is so dark on the outside. There are no lights. We were celebrating a friend‘s birthday tonight. Although our server was very sweet, the service was terrible. We waited a very long time for drinks, the food had to be sent back multiple times, the menu online is not the menu that is at the restaurant. It is one of the worst menus I have ever seen! I am not a picky eater and there was hardly anything that I wanted on that menu. You can’t customize anything, including a salad. The chef won’t allow it. I will never be back.

They advertised a happy hour so thought we'd give them a try. Upon arrival the place was almost empty just before dinnertime on Sunday. Sat at the bar and asked for the happy hour menu whereupon we were informed that the menu had recently changed and there is no happy hour. The bartender was rude, no apology for the change and we left. No attempt at anything resembling courtesy or service. Don't waste your time here.
