My server was cheerful and quick to take my order, with one small glitch - my order for fries didn't get to the fry cook, so they were a bit delayed. Their smash burgers are wonderful! Super tasty, with some unique toppings. The bistro fries were hot and crispy with their own unique toppings. And a tiny chocolate chip cookie for dessert - perfect! The restaurant is bright and clean with lots of seating and tons of cute kid art on the walls. Although, I didn't have any, they also serve Memories Ice Cream in their shakes and treats; Memories is one of the top rated ice cream places in NH. Definitely stop in if you get a chance!

Burger: I went with the Beast Mode, which comes with two patties, cheese, double bacon, "Hop sauce," crispy onions, pickles, and maybe more. Can't really specify temp, so the patties a bit dry, but well-seasoned and really good beef flavor. I liked the creamy, zingy sauce. But that bacon! Flavorwise, among the best bacon I've ever had. Texturewise, I really liked the thickness and pliability, but this came at the expense of some crispness. I'll take that trade but same may not. I also really liked the bun, which is a seeded briochy model that's less dense than what I've had previously at Tuckaway. Overall, very good burger. Gimme some juiciness and it's a great burger. Fries: They come standard with the burgers and chicken. A small order, but enough to get by and nicely done. Many fries options with various add-ons. You can also get onion strings, even though they're not on the menu. Shake: I went with chocolate. Not as fudgy as some I've had, but tasted very natural, with the milk flavor coming through, no shortage of chocolate, and a consistently that's thick but very drinkable. Good accompaniment to the burger. Chicken Tenders: I split a trio that came with fries and choice of sauce. These were huge and flattened, kinda like a chicken parm. Very crisp, well-seasoned, and juicy in spots, not-so-juicy in other spots. Good flavor on its own and in tandem with our hot honey (generous cup), dry rub (ditto), and both. Friendly staff throughout. Looking forward to coming back.

Very excited that Owner Paul and Stephanie opened this new breakfast lunch establishment in the heart of Dover! I have been there several times now in the 5 weeks since they opened and have been wowed on multiple occasions. I was prompted to put this review up after having perhaps , the best breakfast sandwich ever !! " The Nittany" 2 eggs , Chorizo, goat cheese and tomato jam on an oversized English muffin it was unbelievable . My Friend had the Bonnie which he raved about as well. If you have not been into try this place yet, you are missing out on some of the best food in Dover. read more

Fat Dog Kitchen is a MUST GO TO for breakfast food! I had the Breakfast Quesadilla, which used incredibly fresh tasting ingredients and delicious home fries.
