50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Columbus

“This was the absolute best wedding cake we have ever had. Cake was so moist, fruit filling was the perfect accompaniment and the icing was not overpowering with sweetness. The cake was stunningly gorgeous! If I could give a 100 star review I would! Marie was incredible to work with, patient kind and understanding!“

“If you are a FOODIE and have been wanting Birria tacos, you have to come here! I drove two hours to get these tacos because I've been wanting Birria bad and they were worth the drive. Crispy shell, rich beef flavor, fresh onions and cilantro and the consomme is on point. Every bite was tasty, not bland like other places in Ohio, you can actually taste the spices. This is Authentic Tijauana style red Birria tacos like you see with food bloggers on IG. The staff was super friendly. The best days to go are Thurs-Sat when the Birria is available all day. Get there early because they sell out fast.“

“I have returned from my hiatus to speak on behalf of parable (again). Pastries just wake me up like nothing else. I say that but every time I try to get to parable "early" (i.e., before 10am), I fail to do so ;'( But it's ok! These days there are still goodie pastries available for the sleepy birbs (hurrah) Unfortunately, my gastrointestinal system did not hunger at that hour of the morn, so the spinach artichoke danish was a bit of an underwhelming experience, even though the danish was freshly toasted ;'( I liked the chip though (cronch). Otherwise, it kind of gave artichoke dip but served in a pastry vessel instead of a plastic container. I enjoyed the honey grapefruit brûlée circle croissant and guava cream cheese pastelito more. Neither were too sweet and both had nice crispity crunchities! Service was very thoughtful as well! Whenever staff brought pastries to someone's table, they'd always ask if the person would like a fork and would then go run and grab one. I personally prefer to go feral on my food with my fingers but the gesture seemed very kind. Also, I'm pretty sure the entire album of The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess was played. We stan queer icons“

“We’ve been going to Isa for a while, so when we started planning our wedding, she was honestly our first and only choice. Yes, her pastries are out of this world and I could wax poetic on them - specifically the sweet potato one, look if you know you know - but this review is for the absolute masterpiece of a wedding cake that she put together for us. Because we’re long standing customers, we actually ended up doing both the spring/summer and the fall/winter tasting boxes. There is no wrong answer here, every single cake she makes is delicious, but we ended up going with the pretty traditional almond raspberry with the raspberry jam. It’s sweet, it’s decadent, and it was a huge hit with our guests. And god, just look at it! So beautiful! 100% worth it, choose Isa and Three Bites for all your pastry and cake needs!“

“As someone who really loves bagels. This place didn’t fall short. What I can appreciate is they don’t try to do too much. Everything I had(vegetarian lox, everything with chive and salt and herb with matcha and honey) was done expertly and nothing fell short. Upon the first bite it was clear why this is on the “best bagels outside of NY list”, because if it was in NYC, it would be on the “best bagels in NYC list”.Thanks for a great bagel!“

“I recently experienced incredible compassion at Habibi Grill after the unexpected loss of a parent. Tarek, the owner, went above and beyond to accommodate our last-minute dinner plans for our friends and family with grace and understanding. Every detail, from a private space to a personalized menu, was tailored to our needs, providing comfort during a difficult time. The staff's warmth and care were exceptional, making it clear that genuine compassion is a hallmark of Habibi Grill. I highly recommend it for both exceptional cuisine and a sanctuary of understanding and empathy.“

“We went on a tour here to learn about how they make their spirits. The tour was great, and our guide Maggie was very informative while being casual and easy to talk to. I would love to go back and meet their spirit master Adam. Prices are average compared to other places in Columbus. Vodka and gin are very affordable without tasting cheap. Only negative is there isn’t much parking. Overall I am more than satisfied with my experience here. Can’t wait for the bourbon to be released!!“

“This is a real gem of a restaurant! The vegan cuisine is spectacular, the staff knowledgeable and friendly and the gracious owner, Portia, is welcoming and involved. Columbus is lucky to have Portia at the helm of this wonderful, plant forward restaurant!“

“I love this place. The best bubble tea in town. I’ve been going here since they first opened when I lived nearby. I live across town now, but I will still drive to get their tea. It’s that good. The Just Peachy is the best peach iced tea I’ve ever had. I also love so many of their other drinks as well. The service is great too.“

“A big fat meaty juicy sammich that comes with a hefty price. 2 people can easily share it so that makes it a bit easier to swallow. We ordered from a window and then sat in the nearby outdoor tables to enjoy the morning sun and it was a really nice vibe.“

“I love Mexican food. today, after driving by this truck daily, I finally decided to try it out. it's so delicious!!! all Mexican food is now ruined for me after eating this. I got a burrito bowl and a taco. when I tell you this is the best I've ever had, I'm not kidding. and my total was $15!!!“

“Jaco's in downtown Columbus is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a warm atmosphere and friendly staff. The food is simple and good, bursting with flavor and made with the freshest ingredients. Whether you're craving a hearty meal or just looking for a place to unwind with a tasty beverage, Jaco's is the perfect spot to indulge in culinary bliss.“

“This is the 3rd time I've been to RingSide and I love it! The food is always amazingly delicious. The service is great. The staff is super personable, polite, and fun. The am since is fantastic as well. I highly recommend this place to everyone.“

“Everything is good here, the comfort food, the timeliness, the professionalism of the staff, me the hubs and my son come here prob once a month bc they just don’t disappoint here.Vegetarian options: Potato teasers, onion rings, fried zucchini etcDietary restrictions: My son is allergic to nutsParking: You pull up, and turn your lights on and that means you’re ready to order, they place a card on your window and then they run the food out to you. So you stay in your car.Kid-friendliness: Always very kind to my kiddo while he’s orderingWheelchair accessibility: Yes the whole lot is flat, but it’s fine in your car or take it to go, so yes it is accessable because if your car is accessable then that’s that. Because you don’t get out of your car“

“We rented the party room for my brother’s 50th birthday party. I highly recommend Flint Station party room! The decor was amazing. There was a ton of space and lots of things to do. The bartenders were friendly and the drinks were great! Worth every penny!“

“I have passed multiple times and had the time today to stop in. It was everything a neighborhood coffee shop should be: great aroma of coffee and food, wifi, eclectic mix of tables/bar stools/pamphlets, and a super friendly barista! The house blend was really great and excellent taste. Will be back - with a few friends!! “

“Great atmosphere! Bartenders are friendly, and the owner, Jason, is super cool and down to earth. I like the Starseed Hazy IPA a lot, but also love that they have Frostop Root Beer on tap when I don’t want alcohol. Overall, very impressed with this place.“

“We chose to hire Seventh Son's sunroom for our wedding. Best decision ever. Monica was a delight to work with and everything was so relaxed and easy from day one. Our wedding day was perfect. The space looked amazing, the drinks were fabulous and the bar staff were simply outstanding.Highly recommend this place for events, or even just a great, chilled location for a beer if you're in the area.“

“Our Non-Profit organization held a fundraiser and reception for a visiting author. We chose Mozart's due to our years long appreciation of the food and service. Anand worked with our group to provide a wonderful atmosphere for our event. The staff were attentive and very professional in their assistance. The food was delicous and enjoyed by all the attendees. It was the perfect place and we had a wonderful time.“

“Service was quick and servers were friendly. Open space outside to eat and comfy area inside to eat. Very vibrant. The burger was moist and the fries were crispy and tasty. I did take out and was handed container without a bag not certain if that is the normal there. I would definitely eat there again“

“I can't say enough great things about The Cakehound! My dog was the ring bearer in my wedding so we had a special cake made for him for the big day. Not only was it GORGEOUS and matched our theme but Teresa also catered the ingredients to suit my sensitive dog's dietary requirements. I don't know how she managed to make a raw-incorporated cake look so beautiful but she did it! He went absolutely bonkers for the cake and it added a fun, special touch that all of our guests loved. I highly recommend stopping in to check the shop out! From the overall aesthetic, ADORABLE baked goods and other items, to the fun events, there's something there for every dog/dog lover. It is my go-to place for goodies for all of the pups in my life!“

“Oh my goodness!!Handel's was such a treat to stumble upon while in town for a visit.Tried a sunday and a 4 way sampler and there wasn't one I didn't love. You can tell this ice cream is homemade and isn't just thrown together. It's been around for decades and you can tell in the quality and taste!“

“Attention Vegans and non-Vegans! Try this place! You will not be disappointed. Just because you are not vegan doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. Fresh, fast and great flavors. I was blown away by this spot. Just wish it was closer to my house!Vegetarian options: All Vegan! But non vegans will enjoy?“

“Craving a delicious and unique breakfast? Look no further than Mordisco Food Truck's Venezuelan Breakfast Bowl! This dish packs a flavorful punch with scrambled eggs, your choice of shredded chicken or beef, and perfectly sweet plantains topped with cheese.The black beans add heartiness, and the avocado provides a creamy contrast. Don't forget the arepas – these crispy cornmeal flatbreads are the perfect base for scooping up all the goodness. Plus, the option for a spicy sauce on the side lets you customize your heat level. Overall, a fantastic way to start your day at Mordisco!“

“I don't understand why the dj gives up after the caberaet show. It's like they're trying to drive out the crowd so they can pack up early and still get paid a full night. I'm going to assume complacency from being the resident without competition for to many years. Both friday and Saturdays dj's are guilty of this. Ivan (RDJr), I'm told you read comments, pay attention. Your bartenders and VIP hostesses are suffering because of this. Everything else is absolutely amazing. Hate to see Michelle go. Best spot in Columbus period overall. Fix this and get a full nights revenue from that liquor license I'm sure isn't cheap.“

“Mike and his team treat you well and so welcoming! They are always creating events for you and your family to enjoy for the week and weekend. They go out to their way to bring in good food, music and support the local businesses and community.“

“This place was great!! Ethan was our server. Super friendly, and a very hard worker. Made sure we received the best quality food and service. My first time at Swensons after playing some top golf. Would recommend to anyone. Ask for Ethan :)“

“We’ve come to Global Gallery for a long time and have even played music here. (I have a band with my husband) but this time when we stopped we were so delighted with the 6oz cappuccino from Joe. He knew just how to make it in the traditional way that is sometimes unusual for a lot of coffee shops.It’s nice to see a good place continue grow and enjoy the growth of the quality of drinks too. So yummy! We will definitely go again when we’re even remotely nearby.I’ve also always loved the large outdoor seating area and cozy inside dining space full of eclectic art on display and for sale. Such a great local shop!“

“This place is so cute! There's typically a crowd from the business above that comes in at 9am but the baristas are quick! And they don't sacrifice flavor in their espresso or coffees for how quick they are!! I highly recommend their iced lattes with oat milk. If you are celiac or gluten free like me they have a couple of options like kind bars, gf oatmeal cups, and this protein bar (my personal fav)! Their bagels and muffins look great too! Love the atmosphere and definitely a must-go place if you're looking for a great cup of coffee in Columbus!“

“Winston's Coffee and Waffles has outstanding customer service and a deliciously unique take on your favorite breakfast foods.I ordered The Baron which is an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich served between two warm, fluffy and slightly sweet waffles. Their lattes are also very good, they have a list of seasonal flavors/drinks, and their barista will happily alter your drink if it doesn’t taste just right.If you go and really enjoy it, I recommend getting one of their punch cards to work towards getting yourself a free gift card.“

“Atmosphere is very laid back. I came here looking for Blackbird Kitchen, thinking it was a restaurant, and was surprised to find that it’s the name of the food sold in the bar. So Blackbird Kitchen is not its own separate restaurant. You order food at the bar and they bring it to your table. Service was quick and the food was good overall. Parking was a bit confusing. Do not park in the parking lot before 6:30pm! You will need to find street parking, which was not hard. Outdoor seating area. They have live bands.Parking: Don’t park in the parking lot before 6:30pm. Free street parking down the side streets.“

“Great atmosphere! My work rented out the back room. Perk is that you can bring your own food. Nice big TV to watch games. They even have a heated patio area. Drinks were very good and decently priced. Highly recommend the warm cider with a shot!“

“Stopped at pins after a movie over the weekend and was really glad we did. It's such a cool concept overall. Staff were attentive and friendly and the cocktails were delicious. Mine even had a bomb pop in it. Wish they had food and maybe some more games. Little crowded with kids running around but it was early evening, so it's expected.“

“I am no coffee connoisseur. I couldn’t tell the difference between a drip coffee and a pour over if my life depended on it. From what I hear from the community, TWCH has amazing coffee. I go for lattes and cappuccinos and the fresh local baked goods supplied by Slice of Heaven Bakery. Now they’ve got a taco truck on site, which is the icing on the cake for us. The best part about TWCH is *The Vibes*. It is an awesome place to get together to have a meeting with someone. You can sit outside or in, as they have picnic benches and tables outside. On the weekends, you can catch local neighbors hanging out and chatting. It’s the perfect place to meet locals. And TWCH supports local businesses and local community non profits. Their commitment to the local community makes them extra special. This symbiosis puts them a cut above anyone else, in my opinion. I’m glad they’re in my neighborhood. It’s safe and inviting and I love it. The murals are the best!!Kid-friendliness: I never feel weird bringing my young toddler in there. He loves jumping off the curbs and playing outside we the picnic benches. Traffic is never so bad that I’m concerned about his safety and the parking lot is separated really well from where he likes to play.“

“I hosted my bridal shower at Spires & it was awesome! The owners, Alex & Megan, are super friendly and let us turn the space into how we needed for our event. They allowed us to bring outside food which was great and gave us a lot of flexibility. The drinks were fantastic and my guests loved the large variety and choices they had! Overall a great experience and they would definitely be a brewery I'd recommend everyone check out! They even have a large Skully the Skeleton who keeps the bar lively!“

“Got some great brews and great vibes. There was a lot of seating on the afternoon that we went but I could see it getting busy during peak hours.There were a lot of fun seasonal options to choose from so that made things interesting. We grabbed a round of drinks before hopping to the next spot so it was a great stop for that.Not sure if it was just too early or what for our server though he seemed really stoic and disinterested while we were ordering. But eh that's okay I know we all have our bad days too lol“

“*Dog Friendly* Kind of hard to find but what a gem! Staff was extremely friendly, they went out of their way to go over their different drinks and other places to check out. They brought out the dogs a water bowl with ice cubes. The beers were incredible, never had anything like them…. The fact that they are all barrel aged is all that needs to be said. Definitely will be back! Thanks for such a warm welcome to your city/breweryCheers“

“This was our first time going to this establishment. We were a party of 4, with my husband in a wheelchair. We were greeted by CJ, most kind, wonderful individual with a great smile! Our server Sophia was very patient, kind and offered many wonderful food recommendations. Which I might add, we loved everything! If I could suggest one thing if you’re in the area, or just wanting some great tacos, nachos, guacamole, salsa, and chips this is the spot to go to! THANK YOU ALL!!Wheelchair accessibility: The dining area is kind of tight, but what I will say when we arrived there, CJ made every accommodation for my husband in a wheelchair to feel most comfortable.“

“The only time we ate from here was in June 2020. It was during the Covid-19 craziness. We ordered through Door Dash. We had told ourselves we would go eat in. That's what we did today. The atmosphere was AMAZING! So was the food and the service!!!WE WILL BE BACK!“

“I love this place. That being said, there was an odor we noticed that was a bit unpleasant. It was raining that evening so maybe the sewers were having an issue but the smell was not good. I think we adjusted to it because it seemed stronger when we first sat down and then we didn't really notice it after some time passed. The food/drinks were great and I always recommend this place.“

“Amazing and friendly service/food! Since moving to Polaris, this place has been my go-to when I chose to eat out and there’s no doubt why. My boyfriend and I always get Garrett or Stephanie as our servers and they are nothing short of amazing at their jobs!“

“Ryan Shazier loves this place. Saw him a few weeks ago with some lady (not his wife) and he said it’s a perfect spot for first dates. He was absolutely right! Took my girl there for a first date and ended the night at her place! The vibe is amazing. Shazier recommended I try the Tessera drink andMy oh my, it was paralyzingly good! Wish Shazier would show some loyalty, but it led me to find this gem. Thank you Ryan Shazier!“

“I stopped by Species X on a Tuesday evening after work, mostly due to the Google ratings but also intrigued by the concept/vibe. I ended up being the only one at the brewery which was a blessing in disguise as it allowed me to have about a 2 hour chat with the owner, Bo.I went from my typical skepticism of anything branded AI to fully convinced this was a unique, fun, and ultimately successful approach to brewing beer - not to mention its clear Bo has done his homework and then some.I ended up trying 6 beers and I would honestly say all of them were above average - standouts being the maple blueberry sour and Fluff001.Whether you live in Columbus or are just in time for a short while I'd highly recommend stopping by here to see what Bo and his team are doing as it's truly incredible. While the AI models are fascinating, the decor and vibe are on point, and the staff is very friendly (we covered everything from viral marketing to PC gaming), I firmly believe any brewery is only as good as its beer - and Species X has REALLY good beer!!“

“First off, the establishment is very well kept, spotlessly cleaned, floor to ceiling and well decorated, etc. I did not eat, but the food looked amazing, and the specials I heard that day sounded fantastic. I was also impressed that the chef (maybe an owner? IDK) came out to speak w guests, ask how everything was, he welcomed them to the establishment. It was great to see. Bar service was good, beer selection was good. Everything was excellent, TBH. It was an older crowd and pretty quiet for a Sat night.“

“Their cakes and cupcakes are so moist and flavorful. I had their lavender cake for my birthday a couple years ago and it was my favorite cake I’ve ever had! Their breakfast and coffee are great too. I love getting the iced lavender latte w/ oat milk. Plus everyone is so nice here. I highly recommend!“

“The place is full of nostalgia. I really enjoyed playing video games from my childhood. There were a handful of games that were down (not sure how long they've been down), but there were others to play. The environment is fun and friendly.“

“Yall give Trinity a raise! We have been several times to the new location and she is easily the best server we have had. She was attentive even though she was busy. Even when she didn't stop at the table I could see her looking to check on our table. she was freindly,prompt and kept the drinks full which is hard to do when you are so busy! She was super quick to handle a hair in the appetizer and replaced it immediately. As always we will be back and hopefully get Trinity again! Great food,Great drinks and now Great service!!!!“

“We had actually been headed to a different restaurant, but the wait there ended up being longer than expected, so we decided to check out Harvest instead. We ended up going with some burgers and yukon potatoes for takeout. The Rosie burger was excellent, though, as a personal preference, we will probably skip the bacon onion jam next time. The seasoning on the Yukon potatoes was delicious, but they were a little overcooked. Service was friendly, and our order was ready as quoted.“

“Great selection of beer and a nice outdoor area. They offer outdoor igloos along with curling and ice bumper cars.The beer choices ranged from pilsners to stouts. Buckeye Donuts is a must try!They have 2 food trucks onsite- RayRay's BBQ and Mikey's Late Night Slice pizza. Great place for dinner and a beer!“

“I currently live too far from this particular location, or any of them, unfortunately. However, I can tell you it's worth visiting a Rita's if you get the chance. They do not disappoint with their authentically fruit flavored Italian ice and creamy custards! I highly recommend the apple ice with vanilla custard. But, they have many varieties that really satisfy on a hot summer day. Treat yourself!“
