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

Oct 3 thru 6   

Thurs, Fri, Sat 11-7

Sun 12-4

We are a very small cafe with limited seating. No reservations, first come first serve. We make all meals from scratch to order, so this is not fast food. Please plan for a leisurely meal. Due to our size, we cannot accommodate groups over 5 people (and sometimes 5 is difficult). We have outdoor, pet friendly seating as weather permits. The State of Oregon does not allow pets at dining tables indoors. All menu items are available TOGO if that better suits your dining needs.
