Red Dog Diner

The laid-back, brick-walled and wood-floored Red Dog Diner turns out craveable plate after craveable plate, such as medium-rare patty melts slathered with pimento cheese and grilled mushrooms, and crab and corn fritters with garlic chive butter. For that unbeatable sweet-savory combo, you’ve gotta go with the spot’s storied duck waffles: wedges of fluffy waffle piled with shredded roasted duck, cilantro-cabbage slaw, five-spice maple syrup and a dusting of crispy duck cracklings.
