The Morrison
This restaurant was named the No. 1 Dog Friendly Restaurant in the U.S. by Yelp in 2022. They have three different locations in SoCal: Burbank, Atwater Village, and Huntington Beach. Their menu consists of mostly burgers, but they also offer a “Doggy Menu” with several options depending on what your dog loves the most for $6 apiece.
Selections include a “Where’s the Beef?” chopped hamburger beef with rice, “Cock-A-Doodle-Doo” chicken with rice and hot dogs known as “Frankenweinies.” Every plate comes with treats and water. Dogs must dine on the patio.
Another one of their specialties (for humans only) is their refreshing selection of beers.

Chihuahua,” which is a single beef meatball, and the “Big Boy Platter” of three beef meatballs and brown rice — perfect for larger dogs.
