It’s clear that most pet owners in East Texas consider their four-legged family members to be family. That was obvious just a few days ago when I saw someone on social media ask for a list of restaurants around Longview, Texas that allows dogs to dine with their humans. And it didn’t take long for locals in Longview to help out and give 8 suggestions on where you could grab a bite to eat while taking your dog with you. 

It was pretty adorable to see people so quick to help out with a question like this. And it’s great to hear of so many businesses that welcome in pets. But I will say there are multiple restaurants on this list that only welcome dogs into their outdoor patio seating, it’s still great that they open this up to pets and their owners, but you will want to refrain from taking them into the actual restaurant.
