Betty’s Fish and Chips sits right on Highway 12 with a sprawling patio that wraps around the building—the kind of setup where you can actually spread out with your dog without feeling crowded. The covered sections come in handy on cooler North Bay days, and the whole space feels casual and genuinely dog-welcoming rather than tolerant. It’s the sort of place where staff notice your dog and don’t make you feel like you’re imposing by bringing them along. The food here is straightforward fried fish and chips—battered fresh, thick-cut fries, nothing pretentious.

Dogs stay outside on the patio; they can’t enter the restaurant itself. The patio is substantial enough that you have real seating options, and staff bring water bowls without being asked. Some dogs get offered a plain piece of fish if their humans ask, though it’s not a formal menu item. The setup means you can order at the counter and settle in at a table without managing leashes through a crowded indoor space.

On weekends the place fills up with families and locals, so arrive early if you want a relaxed meal. The patio faces Highway 12, so there’s road noise, but it’s not overwhelming. Parking is easy and right there. Hours run roughly 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. most days, though it’s worth checking the website for seasonal changes. The setting works best on temperate days; in summer heat or heavy rain, the patio becomes less comfortable. Road noise and moderate traffic are constants, so if your dog tolerates those conditions, this is a straightforward lunch stop in Santa Rosa where your dog can sit beside you while you eat.
