The Capital Dog

Capital Dog was established in May 2022 after refurbishing Lake Leelanau’s original fire station. Co-owners Kevin and Sue Burns (you might know them as the owners of Baabaazuzu!) had a mission to create a place for families to eat in Leelanau County that’s economical and quick. After years of planning, they opened Capital Dog: a boutique Northern Michigan restaurant serving burgers, a variety of hot dogs and grilled sandwiches, out of this world fries + ice cream and other summertime sweet treats that people of all ages love. Enjoy your selection out on our secluded patio or inside our charming throwback dining room equipped with booth and counter seating. Take out also available.
