This is the best breakfast I have ever eaten. I don’t leave reviews often but I absolutely had to this time. The feel of this little hole in the wall diner is so personal and cute, and the chefs are absolute masters of their craft. The hurricane of flavors that compliment each other so perfectly almost made me cry. Good luck choosing from the absolutely mouthwatering menu. This was our first time here, but far from our last. You’ll need to come back and again and again. I can’t say enough about how impressed I am. Seriously.

Super awesome folks, very kind. The food is crazy good.  The corned beef hash is real and good. The fat Elvis is insanely good, just look at the picture, it says it all.  Its a small place but comfy.  Prices are fair and soooo worth it.  Coffee is also a solid ten.

From where I was sitting I got breakfast and a show. This is because you can see right into the kitchen and watch them work thwir magic. I had the Fat Elvis, 2huch was the most decadent breakfast I have ever eaten. I saw that it was recommended by one of my favorite food blogs, so I tried it even though I was skeptical that Nutella and peanut butter might be too much with the bacon and banana. I was wrong to question it, they know what they are doing. Me brother ordered that bagel sandwich and be said it was good, which it must have been, because I barely got a pic before he devoured most of it within 5 minutes. My dad ordered the special which was a breakfast scramble of some kind served in a cast iron skillet. I got a chance to try that one and it was soooo good I took home his leftovers.

Great service, friendly and really good food! The place is very small but is very big on taste. The poached egg was the best I have ever eaten and Ive eaten a lot of poached eggs in my life... definently recommend if you are in the area..

This little spot was recommended to us as one of the best places for breakfast....and that was no lie! Luckily we arrived just as they opened...because it filled up quick! The breakfast options were creative and soo delicious, and the staff made you feel right at home. I had a pulled pork breakfast bowl which was packed with eggs, potatoes, avocado, pickled onions & just the right amount of Chipotle sauce for a little kick! My friend had the corned beef eggs benedict....it was impressive! We even took some sweets to go for the car ride home! We highly recommend this spot for breakfast if you are anywhere near the area!

Very good food and friendly staff! Cant wait to come back again :)

Hands down the best breakfast place I have ever eaten at. If there is a wait, it is well worth it. From fresh coffee, to new specials everyday, there is always a reason for me to stop in for a great breakfast. Everything is homemade. The owners and staff are extremely friendly!

Great food great service great owner.We will definitely be back the next time were in town

If you ever get the chance to try this spot you will never regret it. I have been coming here for the last couple of years and every time I come I have had the same wonderful experience. The staff is absolutely above and beyond extraordinary, the food is creatively exquisite and always creative. There usually is crowd if you go on the busier days but it’s always worth the wait and they always make it work. Highly recommend.

Food is beyond delish. Service is great. Give yourself some time to truly enjoy, as this little gem attracts a great consumer base and can get nice and busy... just the way it should be! The owners are accommodating and will even make food to order when there is time. We love it! #localflavor

Rly amazing food and super cozy atmosphere. Bottomless (GOOD) coffee + rotating specials that have seasonal elements (e.g. squash hashbrown feature in the fall). Will definitely go again the next time Im in Dover + will be sure to save room for a baked good bc they looked AMAZING.

Fat Dog Kitchen is a small super friendly breakfast and lunch restaurant. You will find large portions and lots of home made ingredients. The specials are very creative and always tasty and amazing. Also a good value.

Great food and friendly staff...thx for making me an omelet,off menu

Food was kinda gross. And they charge 5 dollars for bottom shelf grocery store orange juice and then claim it’s fresh squeezed! How insulting. The waitress was cool. Just go to the Roundabout.

This place. Im so glad I dont live closer to this place because I would weigh 300 pounds. I stopped in on a whim when I was hungry and happened to be in Dover, and the fried chicken sandwich with Muenster, banana peppers, and hot honey changed my life. Im a new man, a man who will never look at a chicken sandwich the same way again. Whatever youre doing, stop doing it and go get some food from these fine folks. Youre welcome.

YOU MUST GO TO THIS PLACE! Got my order to go and it was done super fast. On my way home, my mouth was watering by how good the food smelled in my car. I am absolutely out of words to describe how scrumptious their pulled pork breakfast tacos is. Also, their orange juice is delicious, tastes like ot was freshly squeezed. The staff is VERY friendly and caring. It was my first time there and they recommended me the tacos. I will definitely be back there.

Had a great time food was great and becka our server was so sweet thank u julie and Chris the chorizo guy lol

Fat Dog Kitchen was a recommendation while in the area! Didn’t regret this at all! Small dining area but more quaint than crowded. We waited next door to the restaurant in the movie theater lobby which was cute and we had coffee to tie us over. The waitresses were sweet and I personally thanked the chef while getting to watch him cook. One of the best Benedict I’ve ever had!

2 out of us 3 had to have to go containers the breakfasts were so big. Talk about flavorful incredible combinations. We got there right after they opened and before we were finished there was a waiting list was well as many to go orders. This is one draw back but I cant give a negative rating for being busy it just limits when we will visit knowing that there is usually a long wait on weekends. If there is a dog that was the inspiration for the name they were around that morning.

Awesome little restaurant! We had the Berry Challah French Toast, and it was definitely one of the best French toast dishes I’ve had. There was a crunchy exterior and fluffy interior.We also had pulled pork eggs Benedict, which was delicious.Friendly staff, cute little restaurant, great value. An easy 5 star review!Thanks for the coffee!

This restaurant is the best addition to Dover. The owners and staff are inviting, pleasant and, more importantly, the food is delicious! Its our familys number ONE place to go for breakfast on NH seacoast. They are hands down the best.

Very friendly staff. Service was efficient and food was okay- it didnt come how I ordered, but the waitress took great care of us and apologized for the mishap. We didnt try the famous Elvis, but it looked delicious. Really good Eggs Benedict selections too.

Had there breakfast special. So good!

Thanks for another outstanding meal! The whole FDK experience is top notch. Worthy of a trip from anywhere...good food and people, cant wait till i cam get back!

Excellent food, and amazing A+++ customer service. Im on crutches and they went out of their way to bring my food out to me. I got the Abby Benedict, and will be trying more of their unique dishes in the future.

Excellent little gem of a restaurant right off route 16 (route 4) in Dover NH. They are a from scratch kitchen that cures and smokes their own bacon and lox. Small restaurant with about 6 tables and some outside seating (dog friendly outside). Today I ordered one of their specials, a breakfast bowl, and it was incredible. Bacon jalapeno pineapple sausage with poached eggs, fresh corn salsa, pickled onions, home fries, black beans, crispy onions, aioli, cheese and more! It was excellent.As I watched the others patrons breakfast orders go past me I knew Id have to come back here to try everything they have on the menu!!!Also, To get to the bathroom you have to walk through the kitchen and down a very steep flight of stairs making sure you dont hit your head on the ceiling. If you are unstable on your feet this would be very difficult to do. So definitely not handicapped friendly.

Delicious food, kind staff. Sort of a hole in the wall diner that you probably wouldnt find for the first time without recommendation. Very small place, but the people are so personable. They even seem to know who their regulars are (whether by voice or by order, or maybe both) over the phone. Im not local, but if I find myself in the area again, I would be happy to return.

My eggs on Benedict were hard so a bit disappointed. Other then that breakfast was very good and side of pancake was great.

Slow...food ok...servers nice...extremely long wait for ok food.

This place gets 5 stars because you get food full of flavor and interesting combinations. I have sampled most of the menu and many of the daily specials and I am always satisfied with my choice. The people are great and the seating area is cozy. This is a place that I always bring guests to.

Great food great people love it here

The service is great and theyre always attentive to your needs...

I would have to say Fat Dog Kitchen in Dover is absolutely the BEST Breakfast & Brunch spot on or around the Seacoast area PERIOD. The food absolutely phenomenal and they’re always adding new things to the menu. Thinking it couldn’t get any better, our waitress Beccah was absolutely awesome and made our visit out of this world. Not only are the owners hands on and just as pleasant as their staff, but you can tell they were extremely grateful for my business. It’s refreshing to find a wonderful place where everyone loves what they do and are grateful for your business.

Great selection of unique food. The Captains Toast is battered in Captains Crunch and the thick bread is perfect.The corned beef hash was highly recommended by others at the bar and it did not disappoint. It is heavy on the meat and the potatoes are soft and well-seasoned.Getting seated was awkward because I wasnt sure what to do. BTW, its seat yourself. They could do better about taking names and calling when theres a seat available.

Best place to eat breakfast or lunch in Dover! The owners are great people and the food is amazing!

Great service and great food. I forgot to take a photo of my plate because it looked so good I started right away!

What a gem! So delighted to find this happening little space. It’s always a huge plus when the owner is busting it in the kitchen, and this guy was rocking it solo with just a dishwasher. Great vibes from the staff and you can tell by the decor that these people just know how to have a good time. Corned beef hash seemed to be started out boiled dinner style, as the potatoes were soft and delicious with flavors of beef! It’s always a real treat when you order hash and you’re not presented with a pile of dog food. The Captain’s French Toast was a fun, tasty rendition of a classic. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Perfect. The Perro Gordo was a very well done version of huevos rancheros. Homemade salsa was on point and you can never go wrong adding chorizo to this breakfast classic. You can tell the owner cares about his craft, as you can taste it in every bite. The server was mobbed, but did an outstanding job of checking on us and making sure our coffees stayed full. Food or service didn’t suffer one bit on a busy Saturday. Overall an outstanding first experience and I can’t wait to make it back!

Love love love this place!!! Best breakfast in all of Dover! Be prepared to wait on the weekends, but it is alll well worth it! Staff is so friendly & attentive and made us feel that they appreciate the business even though it’s clear they have plenty of it. They made me and my husband feel like a regular even on our first and second trip to Fat Dog. We will be back!

Went here for the first time this morning with my husband. If I could give more stars I would! The food is absolutely incredible and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. I love how unique some items are on the menu. I can’t think of another place I can get fried green tomatoes(which were outstanding). I’m looking forward to more visits and getting to try everything else!

The food is phenomenal, definitely worth the wait! The staff was also super friendly and welcoming.

I was going to give them five stars for their food alone, but they really solidified my review with the top notch service they give. Consistently delicious food at a great price with friendly staff. Keep up the great work you do 👌🏻

Amazing food, the specials are truly specials. I got a Churro French Toast that was incredible. Space is very limited but while there a lot of people picked up orders to go. Easy checkout because they use a tablet that can calculate the tip and even email the receipt to you. The prices are also very good considering its location I would have expected it to cost more.

This is the best breakfast from a restaurant Iv ever had. The home frys were unbelievable.

Awesome little place. The waitress was pro. Knew everyone by name. Attentive. The food was way better than I expected for a small diner. Portobello Benedict. Damn that was good. No bread. Mushroom. And well prepared. The chef knows his game. French toast was also good. Thick yet crispy on the edge. Cooked to perfection. We opted out of the pebbles cereal on top. It was still sweet enough. Ill be going back.

Love Fat Dog! Always delicious with great and super friendly service. Weve never had a bad experience here. If youve never been, get there Asap. If you have been, then you already know, get back there soon.😁

Amazing comfort food, unique combos, amazing service and accommodations

Huge burritos and the fat elvis was delicious and humongous. I think they infused their water which tasted really good but will trigger my acid reflux so I didnt drink it.

If youre looking for typical American breakfast and decent prices thats the place.The place is small though so dont expect many options.Our waitress was very friendly and they easily substituted upon my request toasts and home fries for extra eggs in my omelette (which was huge so I ate only half)

Finally got to try Fat Dog for the first time after several attempt. I’m glad I didn’t give up and they did not disappoint me. Best breakfast place ever! Highly recommended!

Awesome and unique breakfast items! Well worth the drive.

Delicious! Got the Fat Elvis and the Abby. If you haven’t been here before, it’s very small, so don’t bring a big group. Excellent service and very unique and tasty food!

Wonderful food, well prepared, and it makes it to the table in a timely manner. The staff is wonderful and friendly. Their only draw back is the seating is a little tight, but that does make it a more cozy experience. Ill definitely be coming back often.

Great food and service! Love this place!

Atmosphere was plesent with toys throughout that bring you back to childhood. Food was great well worth a visit!

Ordered breakfast and lunch for takeout. With each and every bite I thought omg this is so good. I will definitely be returning next time Im in town.

Food, Great. Service, great. People, great. Everything GREAT. The food is to die for!

This place always slaps!!!!

The people there are as nice as they come. The food is more then plenty well priced!

Excellent food and service. Very homey and welcoming. Had the wake up quesadilla. Outstanding!! Generous portions and reasonably priced.

Fat Dog Kitchen is an amazing, family friendly, kid friendly breakfast place. I actually love all the workers!!! Every time I go in I feel welcomed and they cater to everyones needs. When visiting NH you need to check it out and request your waitress to be Beccah, she is amazing and makes everyone feel at home! Also the food, savory mouth watering goodness!!!!!

Tiny little spot in downtown Dover with DELICIOUS homemade breakfast and lunch. One of the best places in town hands down and a must try if you can get in and wait for a table!

Best breakfast in Dover hands down! The owner and both the servers are absolute angels. The first time we came here we knew we wanted to be regulars and now we are. Look forward to every Sunday!

Waitresses were excellent, the corn beef hash was homemade(which I prefer in a restaraunt) not out of a can. My daughter got French toast with berries. Got a bit confused when fruity pebbles were on it along with strawberries. The strawberries had a funny taste, she couldnt eat them. Orange juice was the best I ever had. There is NOT a lot of seating, very small but homey restaraunt. I give 4 stars because the strawberries definitely tasted funny!

Great portions for the price. Some of the best breakfast dare.

Very good food,make sure you go hungry you get plenty for your money.

I moved to Dover last year and this by far is the BEST breakfast place around. Its small and cozy, and the dishes are full of big flavor! You cant go wrong with anything on the menu, but I especially love going off the todays specials i try something new almost every time I have gone, and have never been disappointed in my meal!Oh and stus hot sauce is lights out!!!! STU make more please!!!!!

Yesterday I was my first visit to Mad Dog, and wont be my last. My omelet was the best. I definitely will go back.

Food is amazing!! My favorite is the green tomato benedict! Where else can you get something like that? Staff is super friendly and restaurant is small and quaint. Must try!

Highly recommend a visit here. The inside is homie. They support Veterans, as a Veteran myself its welcome site. Red flannel Hash is killer and highly recommend the brioch French toast.

Amazing south west flavor! Authentic, rich, deep creations that hit the tongue just right.

Yummy breakfast of eggs, homefries, sausage, and cranberry toast.

Breakfast was amazing. :) A definite place to check out.

Love the food...staff....place !!! Pick up is a great option since seating is limited. Everyone should try it !!!

Everything we’ve had here is amazing! Friendly staff and dog approved. Def recommend any French toast variation 🍞

Excellent local place turning out interesting and delicious breakfast meals. Went 2 days in a row we liked it so much. Both times were terrific.

Great Food, Great Service, Great Prices, Great everything. Highly Recommended!!!

Love it. Food is amazing. Owners are super friendly atmosphere homey. Looking for a place to eat, this is your place..

Fast and friendly services

A great breakfast place for the adventurous. Each plate is tasty, intriguing, and will keep you full past lunch. Highly recommend.

Fabulous staff, delicious food. Amazing portions for the price

This is most definitely a hidden Gem. Off the beaten path. Very friendly staff. Small quaint establishment with an exciting menu. We stopped for breakfast. I had the Carnitas Bowl. Can you say awesome and plentiful. The mrs. Had eggs and red flannel hash. Again plentiful and delish. Pricing is reasonable, did I say how friendly they are. They greeted everyone as they came through the door. A great carry out business. Seating is limited, worth the wait.

Excellent food. Good portions . A must try.

Breakfast spot of choice in the seacoat area.

Pleasantly surprised. I didn’t expect much. This is small location, isolated within downtown, and is surrounded by competitors. Nevertheless it succeeds at sticking out. The food is prepared/cooked by a single individual, and it’s clear he takes pride in his work. The menu ranges from breakfast, to skillet bowls and burgers. Seating is limited and cramped, but the wait staff are bubbly and well informed of the menu! I plan on returning and trying more from this interesting menu! A must have for sure!Before you leave, make sure to call Paul beautiful. (the chef) he loves it!

The food was so good I forgot to take pictures! Highly recommend the Captain’s French Toast - I also had one of the specials and it was great too! There’s usually a wait (when I called for takeout today, a Sunday, there was an hour wait) but it’s always worth it.

Great food and fun atmosphere. Service is really good and staff are welcoming.

It doesnt get better than this...credits to the owners, Stephanie and Paul......great cozy cafe..., great food, coffee and service.

Fried chicken was phenomenal.

I ordered take out from here and everything smelled amazing when I walked in. My order was ready so quickly, and the waitress was very sweet. The special Jerzee pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwich had me feeling like I was right back home in NJ. I cant wait to try more of their food!

The food had some interesting but tasty combinations. The inside was cute and quirky and the staff did a great job of making you feel at home. Such a great place!

Very good, fresh, wholesome food. Fun atmosphere, fun waitress! Very small inside (but cozy!) and the bathroom isnt the easiest to get to so keep that in mind if you have a large party or someone in your group has accessibility issues.

Found this gem in Dover today. Yall need to try them. I ordered with a custom request, wondering how it would be. They were very accommodating and totally nailed a FINE lunch! It was exactly what I wanted and it tasted SO good! Ill definitely be back.

Absolutely delicious food, and the people are so nice. Thank you guys for being open at a time like this, and thank you for the delicious food and amazing people. I will be back real soon!

A nice little hole in the wall type diner. Service was friendly. I had the Fat Elvis and it was like a plate of diabetes, but it was the most delicious thing Ive ever eaten! It wasnt made with anything new or different, just a great combination of tasteful foods.

Fantastic breakfasts!!

Fantastic food and great staff.

Johnny Boy burrito was amazing, props to the chef

This wonderful restaurant is most definitely a hole in the wall. But, the atmosphere is fantastic. I had such a wonderful breakfast here, as well as my fiance. We will most definitely be going here again!!! ☕🥞🥐🥓🍳

The seating is limited, but it makes up for that in quality of service and food. I had the caramel apple french toast and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone was very friendly and service was fast. What a great little diner!

Fat Dog has the best breakfast Ive ever had. This place is small, but their flavors pack a punch and they serve some dishes I havent seen elsewhere. Cashs Favorite has pulled pork and fried green tomatoes. Its hard to get something else when those tomatoes beckon. Fat Dog is my go-to for breakfast. Their specials are always excellent, and if my work schedule allowed it, Id love to check out their ramen.
