I avoided this place due to reviews, and that was a mistake. It looks like an old, outdated, worn out bar with crinkled menus, tears in the dining room booth seats, and an "this must've been nice 20 years ago". Even my cup looked like it had been around for decades and probably used by a thousand people. But, our server was very pleasant and responsive. The menu had several intriguing options at fair and competitive prices. The food didn't take long, about as long as you'd expect for something being made to order. The ultimate ciabatta was great, with what looked like house made tater tots. The turkey and gravy was beautiful and came with pit-smoked turkey, layered delicately and piled high with homemade mashed potatoes and fresh green beans. I wish I hadn't avoided this place. I look forward to returning soon. read more

WOW! What a great neo-traditional American food spot! A bar and grill with fun items and pretty exceptional service! Carrie was super helpful when thinking about what we wanted. And the decor was cute, too My partner's Buffalo chicken was a little dry and it needed more Buffalo sauce. And my hot dog was HUGE!! A foot of beef hot dog! Not enough onion but it was good for me! The tots were wonderful, too!! read more

Stay away from the German shepherd... The food was good. The service was ok-ish. What ruined the evening was the clientele. My friend and I sat down at a table. The next table over had a German shepherd leashed to the table. I had my back to the dog and I felt him come up and sniff my back and, it began barking and growling aggressively. Now I am a dog person, and if my dog did that to someone, I would apologize. But the owners of the dog acted like it was my fault, and kept saying, "our dog just doesn't like something about you." So, in conclusion, I would say that it's your classic dive bar with loose standards as it doesn't have a pet policy and you're treated as an outsider because people don't know you. read more

I've been to Naughty dogs probably 5 times and have had mixed feelings on the service and food. Tonight on the other hand was Fcinfelng' horrible. It's Monday, 530p and the bar is lightly attended, so we grab a few stools. We sat for a few minutes before we were "recognizable" to the staff of 3 bartenders serving maybe 12 checks at best. Note: "recognizable" because the elder female bartender saw me waving. We get menus although they were on the fly......(like the quick I don't want to be at work flyby). We just wanted a beer to ponder over the menu but weren't afforded the opportunity to order. Finally, we catch the eye of the elder female bartender and get our beers ordered. She doesn't return for our order for another 15min and now we're scratching our heads. After placing our food order the meals came out on time which I must add,,,,,although we never saw the bartender again. Ever. We sat and sat with no drinks only to have the other two younger bartenders service customers around us all while ignoring us. At least we felt we were being ignored and it felt very obvious. We felt unwelcomed, unwanted and I have had both decent and not so decent experiences at NDs previously. This service was, Pathetic and Flat out rude! Tonight was a 1/5 stars. On a sad note, JD's Smokehouse closed NDs as the only local bar in Churchville. No thanks!!!!!! I'll drive 10 extra miles to avoid this bar. read more

I had a random craving for a corn dog so I, of course, searched yelp and came across naughty dogs. The reviews are hit or miss so I was a bit skeptical, but would I be a true elite yelper if I didn't check it out for myself? I really liked the vibe here and the staff was friendly. The corn dog came with tots or fries and I went with tots. The corn dog was a little bit too greasy in my opinion, as if it was fried too long. And the tots tasted frozen. But all in all, my craving was satisfied and that's what matters most. I'd give them another shot, it was just underwhelming. read more

Visited on a Sunday for lunch. The dinning area was filthy. Dirty tables, dirty floor. Service was ok but food took forever to come out even though the dinning area only had two tables seated. Stale bread on my hotdog and soggy fries made for a truly awful experience. read more

Foods good and service is never bad. Nothing is bad on the menu and drinks are always cold.

It's not a small place but you get served like you're family. I don't live in the area but this would be my go-to restaurant for selection and taste. We had a soft pretzel with crab dip, BBQ pork sandwich and wings; all delicious. We will go back. I highly recommend. read more

I stopped at Naughty Dogs on my way through town. Classic local/ dive bar. I ate at the bar, which was very busy at 2:00pm on a Thursday afternoon. The bartender was very nice and attentive. The local crowd was friendly. I sat at the bar and watched some baseball on their numerous large screen tvs. The bathroom needs some serious help. My sandwich was great. I had a chicken cheese steak. It was fantastic. Came with onions and s white Louisiana BBQ sauce. Wow! The fries were horrible. The guy next to me got tots. I should have gotten them. Sorry no pics today. read more

Cool place to go. We went and got tattoos and this was around the corner from it. Server was nice. Dogs are welcomed there. I would definitely go back. They were out of the food my best friend originally wanted but she found something read more

Looks like your average Harford country restaurant inside. Went in just because it was conveniently in the area. Servers had what I thought was their own hair but after I saw them petting and hugging dogs and then immediately serving tables. Needless to say psychologically my water started to taste funny and we left right away. I'm a pet owner but I'm not paying to eat with them. Reporting to the health department for having animals inside that aren't service animals read more

I love this place. The food and service are always good. Lately things are starting to slip. It's just starting to be dirty. Big dust, dirty windows, filthy bathrooms. Last time I was there there were flys landing in the food and also ants on the table. One of these things is a random event. All of them together is a pattern. This makes me concerned for the cleanliness of the kitchen. Like I started this. I like this place. Please please clean it up! read more

Always a pleasure eating here! The waitresses are always so sweet and attentive. The food is phenomenal and have great daily specials! Here is a sample of the delicious food! Chicken and white bean soup, Jamaican jerk tenders, Hot and Spicy Jerk sandwich extra tasty, cheesesteak quesadilla,country pit beef dinne ,and a smothered 12oz Sirloin Steak! read more

Really enjoyed their hotdogs and the variety toppings and the bread they put it ob, fantastic.

FYI. Although it is not written on the "Weekday Specials" board located in the dining room (not the bar) the specials are considered happy hour specials and only offered 3pm until 7pm. Otherwise, food was good and service too. I agree to many flies. read more

Such a chill place and a lot of locals who know a good deal when they see it. The bartenders were attentive and kept the brews flowing. Happy hour at the bar was jumping and we could barely find a seat. Everyone was friendly with one another. The best part is they let pups inside! read more

Wings were crispy and juicy, the flavor was great as well. The footling Chicago dog was very good, it was a quality hot dog with all the toppings that make a great Chicago dog. Our server was very nice and polite. Food came out at a timely manner. Over all good dive bar/restaurant vibe too. read more

We love the people at Naughty Dogs, the food and drink are good. It's been busy, which is a good sign about how everyone likes to go to the dog. We enjoy watching the games there. The food and drink flow well, along with the fun times. It is also great if you only have time to pick up & go. Next we will be sure to enjoy the local entertainment. read more

We have been dining at Naughty Dogs for about afew month's now, and my husband and myself eat out at different restaurants every weekend. I love just having hotdogs for a change. This last experience has got us really upset. The outside of the restaurant was very dirty with trash and discarded cig butts everywhere. When he received our soda drinks that glasses never even looked washed, and we even commented to each other how they looked like they were rinsed out in dirty water. It started me worrying about how the food and the plates were being sanitized. The wait staff were very nice young ladies. They aren't the issue. I had mentioned to my husband that if the health department ever walked in there, they would shut them down. He said they just cared about the bar area. I said they they should just make the location just a bar, then. We won't be going back. We eat out every weekend and there's more food locations. read more

Love their loaded tots w/ green onion, some of our favs are their hot dogs (of course) the stromburrito, pit beef sandwich,smoked turkey sandwich, and hot roast beef with mashed taters yum read more

Best burgers around! Fries too- hand cut no frozen bag fries here- generous drinks and awesome specials. Dining atmosphere needs some help with decor, but a super fun place we go to two or three times a month to eat....More to drink!! read more

Great food..awesome server! Love the decor, can't say enough about this place. A must try!

Ordered a Sicilian Cheesesteak and a crabby quesadilla. It took awhile to come. The poor loan waitress was running all over the restaurant. The quesadilla was ok. Tasted like the just smeared crab dip on a tortilla. As for the cheesesteak, it was tasty. A little on the cold side though. read more

Food was mediocre. Could certainly do without the racist "jokes" on the chalkboard. The service was good, but I suspect it would have been different had my skin tone been darker. Definitely won't return and don't recommend. read more

Lunch cup of Chili and half a turkey sandwhich, spinach salad!, cheesesteak sub, grapefruit crush drink, bar, volley ball, outdoor seating, dining tables, live music on certain nights, clean restrooms read more

The food and drinks are always amazing. but if you plan on sitting at the bar, you may not get served. Ive noticed multiple times now that the women bartenders favorite certain customers and ignore the rest of the bar. I had to try to get one of there attentions to receive my bill (after just waiting for her to come over herself for 20min) i tried simple saying "excuse me?" and got ignored, when I said it again she looked at me, turned around and handed me my check without saying one word. while chatting it up with another customers and being seemingly friendly, I got horrible service and her tip reflected that. I love this restaurant but I'm not going to keep returning if I'm constantly being ignored and treated rudely when I'm coming to spend my money? I would'nt be leaving this review if this was a one time occurrence I believe in second chances but I've given 5 chances. read more

Great place to eat. Food was good and you can take your dog! The fried pickles are terrific.

The place clothes at 2am, but they stop serving food at 11pm.. That seems to be the theme here in this area. I am not wait until I move from this place‍ read more

Loved the fried pickles and the French onion soup was delicious. I had the fish and chips and it was good. We had an awesome waitress named Bella. read more

Service was good. The blackened fish tacos were pretty good and so was the burger and tots. My problem was more with the building itself. As soon as you walk in, it smells musty, dirty, and old. It was hard to get over that smell being present the entire time we were in the restaurant. read more

Absolutely amazing service and food. We will definitely stop here again! I had the crabby burger, husband had the build your own burger. read more

Naughty Dogs - Crabby burger - Bars Near Me - Bel Air, Maryland

I eat here weekly. Their menu is very eclectic, a mix of pub grub and gourmet specials. The ribs are particularly excellent. If the lobster ravioli is on the special's list, order it! Their soups are also almost always excellent. There are some things I cannot recommend. The cheese steaks are not top notch. Chili is so-so. Hmmmmm Good news is, that's about it! Burgers, quesadillas, chicken caesar salads are all very good. The service here is excellent. I cannot praise them anymore than saying they are the best I have encountered in Harford County. read more

It was either Samantha Fox or Winston Churchill who said "Maybe, just maybe, naughty dogs need love too." Or maybe the quote was "naughty girls need love too." In any event, after reading the subpar reviews of this place, I decided I need to show it some love because I had a nice time here. Was in town for my high school reunion and the event was held here. The staff was generally very nice, the food they prepared for us (wings, hot beef and turket, bruschetta, etc) was really good. The beer selection was decent and the place was clean and orderly. The only small bit of constructive feedback I would provide is that the bartenders should keep an eye on people needing a drink. The bar was well staffed but I noticed two bartenders chatting while a few people were waiting for drinks and another time, one of the bartenders was texting when myself and two others wanted to order. I don't know how a bar owner monetizes texting but it seems to me you increase revenue by selling drinks. But overall, this was a nice place and I had a great time there. read more

If you want to slip and slide your way to the bar on the grease soaked floors and drink chlorine in your water... then this is the place. We walked in with a party of 30 and were guided to an area of the empty restaurant and told three wait staff would be with us. One came and two remained in the kitchen snacking on food. Some of us in the party left and ate at the Wawa ... a step up from this hot mess of an eatery. read more

Naughty Dogs was less than spectacular. I came here tonight to catch up with some friends and left the restaurant feeling a little disappointed. Food: We ordered the mini dogs as a an appetizer. Kinda tasted like bowling alley food and the cheese wasn't very good either. I avoided eating the chili. For my meal, I ordered the Chesapeake Sausage which came with crab meat, cheese, and old bay on it. Once again, the cheese was bad. Very fake tasting - kind of that cheese you can buy in the spray bottle. Sausage was okay. Tater tots were good, but it's a little difficult to mess that up. My friends seemed to enjoy their meals, though and the burgers that two of my friends ordered looked good. Drinks: Drinks menu wasn't too bad. Good amount of cocktails and craft beer. The white peach sangria I had was good, and a friend of mine ordered the grapefruit crush, which she really seemed to like. Atmosphere: Even though I had read that the restaurant was completely re done from Bull on the Beach, it was mostly the same. No big changes at all which was a little disappointing. Service: Naughty Dog's saving grace is the service. Our server, Constance was awesome! Very friendly, patient, knowledgable, and personable. She checked in with us often and was on top of drink refills and things of that matter. She was even nice enough to get a group pictures of my friends and I at the beginning. Overall, I wouldn't return to Naughty Dogs. The bowling alley-esque food was really disappointing and the restaurant basically looks the same as it did when it was Bull on the Beach. Only real positive was how awesome our server was. This location can't seem to get it right for restaurants, but hopefully it will one day. read more

For the area, Naughty Dogs is probably a great step up, as the other food options in the area are things like Wawa. But this isn't really a great restaurant - OK, but not great. The interior decor looks like a pared-down Ruby Tuesday's from 1995, and they'll try to make you feel like you're back in that decade with a music playlist that leans heavily on Hootie & the Blowfish, Dave Matthews, and other "classics" of the 1990s. As is to be expected there are several paintings of dogs around the place that look like they may have been sourced from a dollar store. The food is your basic pub fare - burgers, fries, a few salads. I've had the house salad there before - the hard-boiled egg therein had a yolk so gray I wondered if they'd left it in hot water overnight to cook it. It all generally tastes good (after all, it's hard to do food with a lot of grease & salt wrong), but the point is that if you've ever cooked for yourself, you'll spot where they're not quite on their game. The service is also OK, at least in my experience. Pleasant, professional. The restaurant has typically been empty the few times I've been, leading me to wonder whether it starts hopping at night with a crowd of beer-bellied Gen-X locals trying to relive their twenties. Come here to cram your craw with the next step up from a slapped-together sub sandwich; don't expect too much more. You'll have an OK time. read more

Going to the dogs. Bearded waiter unprofessional and slow. Kitchen got order wrong. Hair in food. Never going back.

Two singing and playing guitars....the best...waiter at table awesome...Steak sub sucked...:

This place should be called DIRTY DOGS!!!! The place is disgusting! The floors are slippery grease filmed! There is food all over the floor. When we were seated I had to ask the girl to wipe our seats... she wiped one side of the booth and began to walk away...I said can you wipe this side as well... we sat down to order, I ordered a chili cheese dog then was later told they "just ran out of hot dogs" my husband said "oh wow we drove all the way here just for a hot dog" the girl said "you should call to make sure we have things in stock if your coming for a specific item" so I ordered loaded nachos instead... my husband went to the bathroom when he came back I got up to go, he said "don't trip over the chicken bone" literally a whole chicken leg bone just laying in the middle of the floor!!! No paper towels in the bathroom....this place needs to contact Bar rescue and get some help! Asap! I wish negative stars was an option. read more
