Authentic Chinese Foods


  • The Dog Spot 19 S Main Street Joseph United States (map)

Welcome to the Dog Spot. We are a very small, mom & pop cafe and boutique. We have limited seating so operate on a first come first serve basis- no reservations. We do not have space to accommodate groups over 5. We make all items from scratch, to order, so this is not fast food and meals can be leisurely. We can make all items for Take out too.
