In Regina, Oxpecker at Pile O’Bones has built a strong, 4.7-rated reputation as the sister restaurant to Swift Current’s Nightjar Diner Co., with reviews confirming a genuinely dog-friendly patio alongside a focused, quality-driven menu. One reviewer describes finally visiting after wanting to try it specifically because of its sister-restaurant connection, having been eager to make the trip for some time.
Confirmed dog-friendly patio draws direct, explicit praise as well, with one reviewer describing spotting the patio while out walking their dog and realizing it welcomed pets, specifically praising fresh, hot, delicious lactofermented drunk fries during that visit. Brewpub atmosphere draws particular praise too, with one reviewer describing a great little restaurant inside a great little brewpub, praising an extensive beer selection alongside a small but consistently delicious, fresh kitchen menu kept deliberately simple.
Industry-credentialed praise draws particularly striking endorsement as well, with one reviewer describing twenty-seven years in the food and beverage industry, stating this was the first time every single item ordered ranked among the best version of that dish they’d ever had, a remarkable, professionally-informed endorsement.
Worth noting honestly: at least one reviewer describes a more mixed experience, noting the food was merely okay and portion size felt slightly light, alongside some inconsistency in table service during their visit.
For Doggy Deets users, Oxpecker at Pile O’Bones stands out as a confirmed, genuinely dog-friendly Regina patio choice, backed by an unusually strong, professionally-credentialed endorsement alongside a focused, quality-driven brewpub menu.
