Places to eat: Austin Terrier

Austin Terrier is a local, dog-friendly restaurant in central Austin with great pizza, burgers, sandwiches and much more. You can sit out on the patio with your pup (or just dog watch because there are always plenty of cute dogs to pet) or sit inside.

When we arrived at 3435 Greystone Drive with our pooch, the friendly wait staff immediately brought us a water bowl and some dog treats. For the humans in our party, they have more than two dozen mouthwatering sandwich combinations on the menu.

I ended up settling on one of their specialty pizzas, Zilker Love for $9.95 (see top photo), with spinach, red onions, marinated tomatoes, feta, pesto, Kalamata olives, fontina and mozzarella. We also ordered a fry trio ($7.95) and a sandwich called the Dancer ($7.95), which had Turkey breast, lettuce, diced tomatoes, alfalfa sprouts and avocado with garlic mayo.

First to come out was the fry trio, which had Sweet Potato, Truffle & Parmesan, and Paprika & Mustard, and each distinct flavor was delicious. All the food was really high quality for a reasonable price, and coupled with the great service and dog-friendly environment, Austin Terrier deserves five stars.
