Western Colorado’s Best ‘Dog Friendly’ Restaurants

When the dinner bell rings, where in Western Colorado can you and your four legged furry kids enjoy a great meal? There are in fact "dog-friendly" restaurants and coffee shops around this part of the state. Where will you find them?

The website BringFido compiled a list of restaurants and food venues allowing dogs in their outside dining areas. As a matter of fact, they even have a BringFido traveler rating. A perfect rating would be five out of five "bones."

Did anyone from Grand Junction make the list? As a matter of fact, yes! It seems five restaurants around the valley made the cut. Three out of those five received almost perfect reviews on the "bone-o-meter."

• 626 on Rood - 4.8 out of 5 bones
• Sonic Drive-In on North Avenue - no reviews
• Hot Tomato Cafe in Fruita - 5 out of 5 bones
• Palisade Brewery - 5 out of 5 bones
• Copper Club Brewing Company - no reviews

The website BringFido offers thousands of reviews on restaurants, hotels, and attractions all over the country which allow pets on the premises. They even have a 24/7 support line. Wow.
