The wait is almost over for a highly anticipated Reston restaurant. Kook Dogg Cafe has had to delay its grand opening, but is hoping for a mid-summer opening, reports local media outlet FFX Now.

The quirkily named eatery is awaiting county approval on permits submitted for its 12100 Sunset Hills Road location. Owners Noel and Paul Kuchler and Walter and Karen Hodges are optimistic for a late June or early July opening. 

Kook Dogg will provide the neighborhood with a relaxed atmosphere where guests can enjoy casual but delicious dishes. Future regulars can look forward to feasting on favorites like pizza, deli sandwiches, salads, and craft beers, all prepared in a kitchen managed by hospitality veteran, Paul Kuchler. 

Co-owner Noel Kuchler explains that she and her partners want to create a casual and comfortable space for the community. She states: “We wanted just something more like every day, someone can come and grab a bite that’s affordable and just more enticing to customers and easier for us to produce.”
