Where can I sit down to eat with my dog?
The Patio at Chilly Jilly’z is a dog-friendly brunch choice at 1672 Boulder City Parkway. It serves breakfast and lunch Friday through Monday, from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Dogs are welcome on the patio, and they have their own section of the menu.
The human menu includes French toast and breakfast enchiladas, so your table can lean sweet or savory. The For the Dogs menu includes scrambled eggs with grilled chicken and an unseasoned hamburger with eggs. Your dog can stay beside you while everyone eats.
The restaurant’s story and dog-friendly patio details describe a space that began as a wedding venue next to the original Chilly Jilly’z cafe. Fire pits at most tables help on cooler mornings.
What if I would rather pick up lunch?
Capriotti’s offers sandwich pickup in Boulder City, which gives you another way to eat with your dog along. Order lunch to take away, then find an allowed outdoor spot. A picnic is the better choice for a dog that prefers a little space to a restaurant table.
The Boulder City shop’s menu includes the Bobbie, a cold turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce and stuffing. A cold sandwich is an easy picnic choice because you can eat it after finding somewhere comfortable to sit. If two adults are going, one can collect the food while the other stays outside with the dog.
Bring a blanket and your dog’s water bowl. Wilbur Square gives you a place for an outdoor lunch and a walk; keep your dog leashed while you eat.
Where can I walk the dog before or after eating?
Downtown sidewalks and Wilbur Square are options for a leashed walk with your dog. Boulder City’s current dog rules require a leash in public outside designated off-leash places and times. For a fenced play area instead, the city lists two dog parks at Veterans Memorial Park.
For a meal followed by a short walk, staying downtown keeps things simple. If the dog needs room to run, make a separate stop at the fenced dog parks. Our Boulder City dog-park guide covers more places to go. Hemenway Park, where visitors watch bighorn sheep, does not allow dogs.
Choose The Patio for a seated brunch on its opening days. Choose pickup when you want to eat on your own schedule or give the dog more space.
