Barking Dog Bar & Grill

Love the food ..... great service

We just moved to Amesbury and have been trying a few places. This is by far our favorite place. The Downeast Cider is the best I have ever had! My boyfriend and his friend really enjoyed the beer selection and the prices were decent. I am lactose intolerant and they seemed to have a lot of options for me, and the both times we have been there the staff have been very friendly and accommodating to my food allergy.
   Apart from the food and drink being awesome (try the terriaki steak tips) the atmosphere is very comfortable and friendly. The weight staff and management are EXTREMELY welcoming and friendly to both locals and newbies! Anybody walking in there feels like family.

I had only been to the Barking Dog a couple times for drinks.  I was really happy with their selection of beer and from what I've noticed with restaurants is that a decent beer/wine/liquor selection tends to lead to pretty delicious food.  I went here for dinner last night and I was right!  

My girlfriend is vegetarian and sometimes has a hard time finding anything other than a vegi burger at a lot of places.  She was able to pick from about 5 different apps and entres which she was excited about.  We got the vegetable quesadilla for an appetizer to share.  It was loaded with artichokes, mushrooms, onions, spinach and was topped with sour cream and guacamole.  It was awesome and I didn't even miss the fact that it was meatless becuase there was so much going on with it.  

My girlfriend ordered the Mac and Cheese for her dinner.  She said it wasn't the best she's ever had but that it was really good.  For my meal I ordered the chicken salad sandwich with sweet potato french fries.  I was really looking forward to trying it because I had heard a lot of good things from people about it.  It is a made with sliced grilled chicken, red onions, and has a tasty sauce that I couldn't quite pinpoint what was in it.  It's served hot in a fresh syrian pocket.  It was really good...and cost under $10!!  

I rarely get dessert anywhere but I heard that they serve an amazing ice cream sundae made with grilled cornbread, a white chocolate bourbon sauce, and caramel.  WOW...it was just as good as I imagined it to be!  The cornbread was so moist and was a bit on the sweeter side than most.  The white chocolate had just enough hint of bourbon to give it a distinct smokey flavor.  

The whole dinner experience here was great!  I highly recommend it!
