Jimmy D's Grill & Bar

Jimmy D's Grill & Bar is the casual steak-and-cocktails restaurant attached to the Alara Motor Inn on Nebo Road, a straightforward dinner spot for locals and travellers passing through West Mackay.

Dog setup. Dogs on lead are welcome at the outdoor seating at the front of the restaurant. It is primarily a dining venue tied to the motor inn next door, so indoor tables are not an option. Water bowls are sometimes put out and staff are generally dog-friendly, but bring your own bowl to be sure.

Known for. Hearty steaks, schnitzels and burgers, the honey mustard chicken kebabs, and a decent cocktail list in a friendly, unfussy setting.

Getting there and parking. 52 Nebo Road, West Mackay, on a main arterial road. Free off-street parking sits right in front of the Alara Motor Inn, making it an easy stop with a dog in tow. Confirm current opening hours before you go, as evening trade can be limited on some nights.

Nearby with the dogs. Quiet suburban streets around the motel suit a short walk before or after your meal, and the Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens are a short drive away for a longer walk.

Best for an early dinner on the way to or from a stay at the attached motor inn, since the outdoor tables are the only dog-friendly option.
