A group of Virginia restaurateurs is preparing to bring a new sandwich, pizza, and craft beer concept to hungry Reston foodies. The team of Paul and Noel Kuchler and Walter and Karen Hodges are aiming to open the memorably named Kook Dogg Cafe later this year, reports local media outlet The Burn.

The new eatery will be taking over the 3,300 square-foot space at 12100 Sunset Hills Road R6 that formerly housed Little Beast Bistro. 

Speaking of the Reston location, co-owner Walter Hodges told FFX Now “The location has high visibility, easy access, free parking and pleasant surroundings.  The location is well sited to serve the Reston residential community as well as a thriving business community which we hope to feed regularly either through our catering business or for a relaxing after-work beer or cocktail.”

While a precise opening timeline is not currently available for Kook Dogg Cafe, temporary signs are hanging in the windows and a banner is located outside the store. The restaurant is currently undergoing the steps necessary to attain its liquor license. Kook Dogg is aiming to open its doors and begin feeding visitors this spring. 

Kook Dogg will be joining the RTC West shopping development. The new eatery will be slinging pies next to Honeygrow, Cooper’s Hawk, Nando’s Peri-Peri, BGR Burgers, Bombay Velvet, and Tiki Thai.
