The Angry Dog 

2726 Commerce, Deep Ellum
Dallas, Texas, 75226

This one of those little Dallas dive bar landmarks that’s been around forever. The building, not the restaurant. The building is old.. it looks like it’s from the 30’s at least, but I couldn’t find any information about what it was originally used for.

Eatin at the Angry Dog.. it’s hard to say that with a straight face.
Apparently their claims to fame are the “men’s room art”, and 100 different kinds of bottled beer. I couldn’t check out the men’s room obviously, so if any of you guys out there go, I’d appreciate some photos. Lol
 
They had all sorts of promo items too. I thought about buying a T shirt, because they’re cool. But my stomach bloated up and constricted my brain and I forgot.

Valentina and I both had cheeseburgers, and we split an “Angry Dog”, which is their signature entrée. It’s basically a big smothered chili cheese dog.

 Cheeseburger. With bacon. Just because.

 Valentina gets to be the cheeseburger eatin' subject of this photo. :D

 The Angry Dog. Greasy Heaven.


We had terrific service, but our waiter looked like a tropical fish. (think big fin on his head)

Everything was really really good. I should have ordered the Angry Dog instead of the burger, because I liked it better even though the burger was great.

Note to self: DON’T help eat another entrée when you’re already full.

After that, we went and walked around a little because personally I thought I was going to split in half and die. 

Val had only eaten once that day though, so she decided she had room for ice cream. (There was that empty space in there somewhere near the end of her leg).  ????????


We walked to a place across the street so she could order a milkshake. I’m not going to be specific about where, because it’s on our list of places to visit another time.

Some kind of Amaretto milkshake..which I will probably be having when we review this place.


I was a little nervous, because no matter where you seemed to walk down there, someone was trying to hit you up for money. As you can see, it's kind of a craptastic neighborhood.

We also stopped in to check out Adair's. It's a little bar that has been open in Dallas since the 30’s or 40’s.

And then there's a weird little taco bar.

I was trying to figure out what they're selling here.. filet of arm?


Ah lovely Dallas. :)
