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

Dec 5 thru 8    Thurs, Fri, Sat 11-7

Sun 12-4               208-610-4932

We are a very small cafe with limited seating. No reservations, first come first serve. We cannot accommodate groups over 5 — and that can be challenging at times. We make all meals from scratch, so this is not fast food. Please plan for a leisurely meal. We serve beer, wine and cider to complement our menu.
