50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Alameda

“The small unassuming entry way will make you think you’re breaking into someone’s house but it’s perfect for that intimate feeling as well. Once you find the right door it’s a super chill vibe in a small space. The chef was preparing everything as we walked in and the server sat us down. The food was super fresh and the chef was very kind. There were 13 different sashimis served along with 6 additional courses of non sashimi items. Very nice service and amazing meal, left full and happy!“

“Final date night before flight home tomorrow. Sausage plate. The British bangers are super flavorful and juicy, goes great with the spicy mustard sauce! The bratwurst is perfect with the kraut and horseradish. The smoked bison is a bit on the dry and spicy side. Reminds me of a Slim Jim. I wish I tasted more bison, but it's still good. The herbed goat cheese and lavash bread is to die for! The herbs are perfectly balanced with the cheese and spreads so easily on the bread!All paired perfectly with Zin-phomaniac red wine!“

“Amazing food, warm hospitality, and a relaxing and beautiful ambience on the outdoor patio. My husband and I have come here repeatedly because it's always such a wonderful experience. Perfect for date nights or just spending time with friends. The chef, manager, and staff are always so friendly and kind. One of my favorite spots in Alameda!“

“The best place ever. Love them ❤️ 💕“

“Fikscue Craft BBQ is an absolute gem. The Indonesian BBQ fusion concept is unique, creative, and packed with flavor. The brisket was the highlight—beautifully smoked, tender, juicy, and full of rich flavor. You can really taste the care and craftsmanship that goes into the barbecue.

The nasi goreng was an excellent complement to the smoked meat, bringing a distinctive Indonesian touch that makes Fikscue stand out from a typical BBQ restaurant. The seasoned fries were also delicious and worked perfectly with the rest of the meal.

The portions are generous—around 2 lbs (almost 1 kg) of brisket along with the rice and fries—and everything felt well prepared and thoughtfully put together. It’s not inexpensive, but the quality of the meat, portion size, and overall experience make it feel like a special meal rather than just another BBQ dinner.

If you enjoy serious smoked brisket but want something different from traditional American BBQ, Fikscue Craft BBQ is definitely worth trying. Excellent food, distinctive flavors, and a memorable BBQ experience. Highly recommended!“

“Over in San Francisco from Perth Australia and popped in for a couple of beers, awesome spot and great beers, staff were super friendly and even grabbed some merch, get yourselves over and support these guys and have a cracking pint or four“

“Faction Brewing is a wonderful, local brewery! On a perfect day, enjoy a beer or cider on their patio overlooking the San Francisco Bay and city skyline. Catch it on a gloomier day and you can still enjoy a crafted beverage in their large indoor spaces. We host our annual donation drive here in the spring and the staff is always so fantastic. Highly recommend Faction Brewing!“

“I really like this place. I always feel welcomed and it's a great place to chill out and have a drink. No muss, no fuss deal. The place can get crowded on a good night and also be lively in the daytime at lunch. Pool table, maybe some days, and good music creates a positive fun vibe. Also, It's a puppy palace! Dogs welcome, keep them close/on leash and be respectful, people love to see them and interact. Take a friend, go alone, whichever it is, I hope you enjoy. Appetizer like food is prepared and served until 9 or 10pm, not sure which one it is.“

“Great place & cakes!“

“my favorite Mexican restaurant. great food, super friendly and consistent. been going here for almost 15 years.“

“Every time i come here the owners take care of me and go above and beyond, the food has always been fresh and delicious, the ingredients you can tell are sourced with intention and high quality in mind.

I really cant recommend this place enough, come once and i promise youll want to come back again.“

“Such a great spot on Webster! Great for a quick dimsum when you don't want or have time to do the whole waiting for a table, teapot, and food to arrive spiel. A surprisingly great selection, and it's nice to sit outside and people watch on Webster on a nice day.“

“I got my sandwich from Rose’s Sandwich while I was traveling first time in S.F, the size was huge and delicious. I wasn’t sure what to put in my sandwich. But, Rose asked what kind of things I like. She made some combinations, which was like the best sandwich I ate. Thanks again for making my travel memorable in the Golden Gate Bridge.“

“love it for a afternoon treat w the kiddos“

“We visited Alameda in April to attend a celebration of life for a family member that we lost suddenly. Our family was in town from all over the country, and we found Cafe Jolie Petit near our hotel. They took such great care of us, fed us meals on three or four consecutive days, and we could not have asked for better service or food during an emotional time. Pastries (Koiugn Amann!), Monte Cristo, and the coffee bar were our favorites, but everything we had was delicious. We hope to be back for happier circumstances at some point, and definitely will return!“

“Always the best food and best service. May has done a fantastically amazing job of improving an already fantastic offering. Thank you may for the wonderful dining experiences“

“Outdoor dining in heart of Alameda“

“Had a wonderful birthday experience here with the wife. The atmosphere was stellar and our waitress was really fun. I ended up getting the wagyu new york strip which was probably my favorite steak ive had in the bay area thus far. We got the wedge salad and shared some butternut squash gratin and gorgonzola Mac. Everything was extremely delicious. I highly recommend coming here for special events and you will not be disappointed.“

“Alameda Brewing is an amazing neighborhood spot! We met up with friends visiting from out of town, and it was the perfect, laid-back environment to catch up. The atmosphere is super family-friendly (we had all our kids in tow), the service was great, and the beer was fantastic. I loved the German Lager and the Burma Ale (fun fact: they told us it was crafted to pair perfectly with Asian food). I especially love their open food policy; we brought in some amazing BBQ from Fisque next door. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!“

“Delicious! I recommend to any wine worthy connoisseur!“

“I can not express how impressed and blown away I was visiting Neptune’s today “on accident”. I was driving past neptunes today and we ran into car trouble right in front. We got out and pushed the car into the nearest parking lot which happened to be neptunes. We had just bought a used car in the neighborhood and was trying to make it home and the battery just died. We spent some time pulling out the battery and ran next door to the auto parts store to buy a new one. Out of the blue an employee walked us out some water and said “I saw you out here and it’s hot. Wanted to give you some water and ask if you needed help. “ blown away by his kindness I thanked him but we had it covered. Once we got the battery replaced I decided to get breakfast from Neptune’s to show my thanks for their hospitality. Wow was I blown away. The breakfast was amazing , the coffee on point and the hospitality was unmatched. I give 5 stars for all in. My youngest son said. That guy is a good man! And I agree if you’re looking for good service and great food. Stop here! You won’t regret it.“

“This place serves joy by the cup and happiness by the bite. The coffee? Bold enough to turn any morning around. The tea? A perfect hug in a mug, no matter the weather. And the pastries? Golden, flaky bites of pure magic that might just ruin other desserts for you. The vibe is cozy, the staff is friendly, and my taste buds are still doing a happy dance. 10/10, would abandon my kitchen for this place again.“

“Almanac is a great hangout place!
A whole bunch of tables and benches inside and outside. Good for big or small groups. There’s a food truck for burgers and a cupcake truck next to it.
I love their stout. It’s strong and delicious.“

“Wescafe is my favorite coffee shop.“

“The cook came out to chat with us! Yummy food!“

“Delicious food!! The atmosphere here is great and all the staff is super friendly! Would recommend one of the top places in alameda for tacos and burritos!! 🌯 10/10“

“Delightfully charming little spot! Welcoming atmosphere and best Americano coffee in a long time. Apparently, not all baristas can make a simple cup that just fills the soul with that perfect sip of magic. Thank you Jaylen💖

Bibim Rice Bowl that was beautiful in presentation but also in flavor. Huge thank you to Dandelion Kaffe for giving us a lovely break during travel. Sometimes you find a gem that stays with you, this was definitely one of those places.“

“Waterfront Deli in Alameda is a fantastic spot for a delicious bite! The waterfront views create a lovely backdrop for a casual meal. The menu features a variety of sandwiches, salads, and breakfast options that are all made with fresh ingredients. Their signature sandwiches are hearty and packed with flavor, and the homemade sides are a perfect complement. The staff is friendly and efficient, providing great service to ensure a pleasant experience. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or enjoying a leisurely breakfast, Waterfront Deli is a gem you won’t want to miss!“

“Great view of Coast Guard island !“

“The staff here are AMAZING! Is this a dive bar? Yes. Are they gonna look at you funny is you try to order a speciality cocktail that you’re used to getting downtown San Francisco? Yep. But that’s the whole point, you’re here to drink traditional and familiar fantastic drinks! I started coming here with friends a while back and over time many of the bartenders and other employees became like friends! As a woman I always felt safe as they had their eye on everything going on, and I always had a blast anytime I came. Specifically, Peppi and Michelle, really went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. I had to move away and they spent money out of their own pockets to throw my a going away party at the bar. I have never experienced a closeness like this to an establishment where I’m a guest, and it was very appreciated. I am moved away now and very much miss the service and atmosphere I had at Lucky 13!“

“Looking for a good middle eastern place for lunch and found an AMAZING PLACE. I have eaten middle eastern food in different restaurants but this place is by far the best. Got the salad with chicken and humus bowl and the fries with everything on it. My go to place while I am in Alameda.“

“Great beer selection, friendly staff and sunny warm patio to enjoy it all.“

“The garden is the place to be“

“The restaurant only for the reason of speaking another language within it the employees take Gonchi out of you is Can by the hair also they steal your belongings we made a case for the police“

“Make Your way to the SWELL some Day“

“I'm from Italy (have lived in Philadelphia for 20 years), and I was in Alameda in 2015 for a friend's wedding. I happened upon this place, and what a joy! Not only is the owner (who ended up at our table, where we had a lovely conversation) Livornese (I'm from Tirrenia, a province of Pisa), but the food was incredible, AND he knew a number of people that I knew! It's been five years, and I really want to go back some day. BOIA! CHE GIOIA!“

“I am surprised I hadn't done a review earlier! The Bad Barista people are very nice, full service (remembered that we might want Splenda and added it and cream for us to decaf espresso Americanos for $3 each and added ice for Chris.) really good blueberry muffins too! Squaffins are great! I'll have to try a breakfast sometime too.“

“Food is delicious, especially their signature tea leaf salad!“

“Nice staff too, enjoyed the food and a nice cool Guinness“

“Great burger and truffle fries. Its a great spot on fridays for karaoke.“

“Great location and selection of food and the selection is expanding from what I hear! Kid friendly and a great place to have birthday parties, happy hours, or for any reason. Indoor and outdoor seating options (dog friendly outdoors). They also have lots of TVs for MMA, European, Cricket, and all sports fanatics, inclusive of Baseball, Basketball, and Football! VJ’s also has a FULL COCKTAIL BAR! Great beer selection as well! The owner and his staff are all great. Come by and check out VJ’s! It’s next to the UPS Store at Marina Village.“

“I absolutely love their tacos! They are incredibly delicious, flavorful, and always fresh. The service is also outstanding, everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. You can truly tell they care about their customers and the quality of their food. Highly recommend! 🌮❤“

“Amazing authentic Chinese dim sum. Affordable- for two people we 65$ and ate a lot. The customer service was on point they were very kind and friendly. Definitely pay the extra dollar for soup style dumplings and ask for their chili garlic oil.“

“At the risk of making this place too busy, I have to give them their due. We tried them for the first time today and everything was excellent, from the service to the coffee to the food. The beans that come with the Mexican breakfast entrees are the best I've had anywhere. Come eat with these good folks.“

“best egg rolls and gyoza! I wish we could find teriyaki this good in WA“

“I've been a wine club member for... maybe 5-6 years? Longer? I keep coming back because they offer a very good wine for their price point and I'm a wine snob on a budget! My mom loves their barbera and tasted their wine at some wine and food club in Washington. When she found out that they were in the east bay, she told me to visit. I always try to bring her home a couple bottles every time I visit!“

“Im not a salad guy, but my wife loves salad.

Picked up a salad today from Green and Grains and boy was I surprised at the portion! 1 salad was enough for my wife and myself; with leftovers for later!

Got to speak to Ian for a little bit and was surprised that all the ingredient are organic and locally sourced. Including the pickled onions being made in house!

For a guy who doesn’t eat salads, I would say the Asian chicken was the best salad I’ve ever had!

Going to try their sandwiches on the next visit!

10/10“
