I paid $68 for a hooded sweat shirt at the stray dog. DON’T BUY THESE! It stretched out after it was washed and the right sleeve ripped. I bought one in San Diego for $20 and it is such better quality. This place is way over priced.

Pros: The staff is super nice. The food is kinda standard, but well priced.Cons: When we were there, after our orders were placed we had to wait for the food close to 50 min! Tables who had seated after us got their food before us. We understand it was busy, but that's a really rough, long time to wait for food for any table, esp if you have any kids along. It would have been great if they had brought some complimentary chips or fries to keep the table happy.The other thing was the sound level. We were in the back room and the music was so loud that everyone shouted over it. This made the entire dining room *incredibly* loud - much louder than an average bar, crazy loud for a restaurant. You could barely hear someone directly across from you. You had to yell at the server. For us, with that long wait + the noise, it was not a enjoyable dinner out.

My family and I love visiting New Buffalo and Stray Dog is our staple location for good food. This weekend we had the pleasure of being served by Daniel and Sage and they did an amazing job! Although to restaurant was quite busy their customer service was impeccable as they multitask multiple orders and keep us in the loop about the progression of our order. My 7 year old nephew of said that Sage was “really nice” and I stand behind this comment. If you go the Stray Dog you must try the turkey burger, kale salad, ahi poké bowel and the kids favorite was the burger.

Employees are in a power trip. Not helpful or friendly. You will not feel welcome here.

While we live in Lake Forest, IL, my wife and I make it a point to stop and eat at the Stray Dog when we are in the area. We also like to stop and shop here at the Stray Dog Gear shop. It is a very small shop they actually carry a good number of items. Not surprising to me, because they are small and surely don't sell a huge volume of items compared to larger multi-location shops, as others have pointed out they may not always have all sizes of a clothing item or any of a particular non-clothing item (e.g. coffee cups) in stock. So, you might have to be patient - but to me that is part of the appeal of their stuff - you are not going to see it everywhere. Also, I have to give them extremely high marks for the quality of the merchandise that they sell. It is well made and, possibly, that contributes to supply chain delays. It is clearly not cheap, mass produced low quality stuff. In my opinion, it is worth waiting for...plus it gives the two of us an excuse to stop at the restaurant - even if we have to go out of our way (like drive up from South Bend on our way back home to Lake Forest after visiting our niece which is certainly not a direct route - but it is worth it).

This place is like a land mark. It's always busy! Great place for food after being on the boat all day or playing on the beach. We had great staff and the place was clean. Great atmosphere!?

Love the restaurant. The gear shop however is completely outrageous. Came by to purchase a shirt and since they are still not allowing customers in to the shop, you cant try on shirts or hold them close for a clear idea on sizing. You just have to wing it. Bought a shirt, pulled it out the bag to check if its the right size but it was too short. Walked back to the counter and apparently the lady at the counter claims I cant exchange it anymore. I don't understand I haven't even left the property I was just a couple steps away from the POS terminal. I understand if you have a no return policy but I was literally right there trying to exchange a shirt within a minute of purchasing it. The employee was on a complete power trip.

Stray Dog Gear is a sweet little shop perfect for taking a memory home. Service just as excellent as the restaurant itself. Be advised that it's current capacity is only two guests at a time, so there may be a wait outside. Check out what you'd like on the restaurant wall before heading over to be quick and courteous to waiting guests!
