Happy Dog has been an institution in Sonoma for many years. As you enter the valley, you’ll be welcomed by that yellow dog with black spots as you pass by their establishment. This dog is painted on the outside and inside of the buildings.

Since my last visit, there have been a number of upgrades. Although the tables and arcade games remain the same, the floor is now tiled and the countertop has been replaced with slab granite.

- Hamburger – A charbroiled patty (and it is charbroiled when you order it and done right behind the counter) is served between a toasted sesame bun lightly slathered with mayonnaise. Lettuce, a slice of tomato, onion slices, and pickle slices are the only other ingredients. You add your own additional condiments. It’s juicy and delicious and sure to fill your stomach. If you prefer larger portions, a double cheeseburger is also available. Each is wrapped in paper and ready to go. The cheeseburger is fantastic too. One thing that makes these burgers so great - the buns are delivered fresh daily. Regular Hamburger $3.35 / Cheeseburger available for $3.75

- French Fries – A tray of thick cut fries are served fresh. Just a little crunchy on the outside, it’s sure to hit the spot. Great. I only wish there were more. :) $1.85

- Onion Rings – There are about eight onion rings. They are lightly battered and fried until crispy. They’re not the huge rings, but they’re not overly battered either. Good. $1.45

- Fish Burger – Although I didn’t eat this one myself, I saw that the fresh was very fresh and didn’t taste fishy at all $4.65

- Chocolate shake - Ever so delicious and creamy, it will be a superb treat that accompanies any of the burgers, or just enjoyed alone. Decadent and rich, it tastes ever so good.

Fried chicken patty burgers, grilled chicken burgers, hot dogs, chili dogs, and corn dogs are other available options.

It’s a classic place with fresh tasting hamburgers. They’re juicy and delicious and certainly will warm your belly.
