I thought I'd give it a whirl and tried the blackened salmon sammich after asking my server what not to miss, and wasn't disappointed. It was accompanied by killer sweet potato fries, and I washed it down with my first Toohey's beer...very tasty.

I love their pumpkin soup.

Fish tacos were bland if mango salsa wasn't added, sandwiches weren't really anything special. I thought everything was a bit overpriced.

The owner is a super friendly guy.

I had the blackened salmon once also, but found that my sandwich could have used more seasoning on it. (I had to ask for hot sauce) The sweet potato fries are good.

I agree with Alfreaux about the fish taco’s, the mango salsa was the best part of the dish. I my self was not impressed with pumpkin soup, I found it way too thick to be a soup (may have been an off night tho)

The turkey and brie pani was the best thing I have had there so far. I was very disappointed that they serve frozen pre-formed chicken tenders on the kids menu. How hard is it to cut up a REAL chicken breast and fry it.? My kids refused to eat the crap they put one the plate and I did not blame them on bit.

I also agree that it is a bit over priced, but I guess they have to pay for prime location.

I was disappointed in the fish tacos.

I do like the chicken curry.

I actually went last night and got one of the specials which was a chipotle cranberry chicken salad. It was great.

Knowing Patrick personally, I seriously doubt they were pre formed chicken tenders. Considering he buys fresh stuff almost daily for all his dishes.

Toohey's is good. Victoria Bitter is even better.
The food is pretty mediocre.

I had the pumpkin soup and fish tacos and was underwhelmed.

I wish they had just one place in BR that served an honest-to-God fish taco.

This is what I am looking for Bobby Flay Fish Tacos

I guess I will have to them at home one weekend, but if someplace close would make them they would sell a ton of em

The best fish tacos I've ever had was in Puerto Vallarta...just a bit of a drive though.

I can confirm that the kids meal chicken tenders are pre-formed.

No Offense, but that is BS. It was nasty flat mince formed "chicken tenders". Guess he thinks kids won't notice or care but mine did.

Just got back fro Lunch, my second visit, again I have to say how clean this place is, I wish other places around town would follow suit. My wife had the turkey burger again and she loved it, I got the blackened Salmon sammich, it was great, it had a huge serving of cole slaw on the bun that i ate most of first and just left a little on the sandwhich. the bun was fresh and unique, the salmon was great I had a double portion of well seasoned and well cooked(however i think it was seasoned with blacking seasoning but actually grilled vs. traditional blackening). we shared the ice cream cookie sandwhich for a dessert and it was great as well

Overall this is a great place with a limited menu, the first time I got the fish tacos that i felt were just ok and had a shrimp bong for an app which i did not care for, today our meal was great and again I feel this is one of the cleanest places in BR

Went to dingo's for lunch today. we split the caprese salad and the chicken curry (it was kind a red thai type curry with tons of fresh veggies).

I thought the balsamic on the salad was very awesome, it was mostly field greens with 4 slices of tomatoes & mozzarella, but wished there were a few more tomatoes. I also asked to add red onions because I just prefer those in a caprese salad. I will say that the basil in the salad was either not super fresh or of a milder variety than i care for. I wish they would buy basil from deangelo's supplier. Overall, i liked the salad very much and would order it again.

my date got the pumkin soup, which i tried. it was very sweet & i didnt care for the consistency of the soup (wished it were blended better). the first bite was very tasty, but the sweetness was overpowering and I dont think i would want to eat a whole cup or bowl of it.

The curry was mild (aka not too spicy, just right for me) in seasoning, but the flavor of the veggies (onions, peppers, broccoli) came through in the sauce. but the curry isnt kosher since there is applewood bacon in it. i would order the dish again.

I disagree with the posts that say dingo's is over priced. While there were a few things i would tweak, i thought it was a fair price, fresh food, and i would definitely go back again.
