Patio Brunch, Waffles Approved

Shade, water bowls and a menu worth the drive. Our favorite kind of dog-friendly table.

The story behind the name

Great adventures, delicious food & life through Waffles' eyes.

Team Fenner Travel was born completely by accident. After retiring, we decided it was time to get out and enjoy everything life has to offer. We started traveling, finding beautiful places, eating at incredible restaurants and making memories along the way. And we couldn't imagine doing any of it without our four-legged travel buddy, Waffles.

Somewhere between the hidden gems, the scenic drives and the hotels that rolled out a dog bed, we realized we were seeing travel from a different angle, including from about ten inches off the ground. Traveling with a dog brings its own challenges. It also makes every trip better.

We're not professional critics. We're a family who loves great food, beautiful places and making the most of every day. So we write it all down: the good, the great and the occasional bump in the road.

Our missionHonest reviews, practical tips and a little inspiration for couples, families, retirees and fellow dog lovers who want to get out and explore, one destination, one restaurant and one unforgettable experience at a time.

Waffles, Chief Fun Officer

Shih tzu. Topknot enthusiast. Has been to the Capitol, the Grand Canyon and more patios than he can count. If a place isn't dog-friendly, you'll hear about it here first.
