50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants 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!“

“The best place ever. Love them ❤️ 💕“

“I've been wanting to visit forever, and it didn't disappoint! We arrived near opening time with no wait, but there was a line by the time we finished.

We shared smoked brisket, smoked ayam lumpia, nasi goreng, rujak slaw, and macaroni goreng—just the right amount for three of us. The brisket was tender, and everything was flavorful, with the slaw providing a nice crunch. I'd definitely return!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“Great place & cakes!“

“Every roll was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The staff were welcoming and attentive.
In the end they offered me plum wine but I asked for ice cream and they accommodated.
I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Amazing food! This place doesn’t get enough love.

The dimsum items taste homemade and not from frozen. This was a delivery order and they came warm and so comforting.

Thai tea with50% sweetness and boba is perfect amount of sweetness and chewy boba is 5-star.

I will come back and try more items.“

“Amazing food experience! I tried their brand-new meatball sandwich today, and it was simply delicious—the rich, flavorful sauce genuinely made me feel like I was dining in Italy. The atmosphere was so cozy and comfortable, making it a wonderful place to relax. To top it all off, the ice cream and coffee were absolute perfection. If you're in the area, Rose’s Sandwich is an absolute must-visit! - J&U“

“Came for a birthday and it was a great spot. Easy parking in the back. Friendly service. Gender neutral bathrooms. Chips at the table were nice. Good portions. Food was really good. Fun to see the tomahawk prior to it being prepared. Mocktails and Cocktails were delicious and strong respectively. Only thing I’d pass on would be the bread.“

“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“

“Great view of Coast Guard island !“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“Cool tour, and The Rake has an excellent selection of their customers’ beers on tap!“

“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!“

“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“

“Outdoor dining in heart of Alameda“

“The best place to go when you are hungry and you are craving for a great hamburger, pies and fabulous breakfast. I have being coming here for a long time and I recommend it 100%. The customer service is top notch and they are always happy to see you. Best place to eat in Alemeda.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Family friendly brewery, which is so great, but the sandboxes are more for very young children. My 7 and 9 year olds liked the arcade, but that meant more $$$. I had thought there would be a play structure, based on the website, but there is not.“

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

“love it for a afternoon treat w the kiddos“

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

“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!“

“Marugame is our absolute go-to for the kids! The menu options make it so easy to find something everyone loves, and the cafeteria-style layout makes ordering a breeze. Everything tastes fantastic, and the dishes are so easy to share across the table. Always a reliable, delicious meal for the whole family.“

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

“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“

“The garden is the place to be“

“Make Your way to the SWELL some Day“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Lovely and cozy coffee shop with a bright, modern vibe! Lazybird Coffee is a perfect spot to relax or get some work done. The coffee is rich and smooth, and the food is fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the brunch dishes and specialty drinks.

The staff are friendly, welcoming, and quick with service. The space is clean, stylish, and very comfortable. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Highly recommended if you’re in Alameda — I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“🌺 A Taste of Hawaii at Shaka Shack! 🌺

We stopped by Shaka Shack for breakfast and had such a nice experience! The food was delicious, comforting, and had that wonderful homemade, homey feel that makes you want to stay awhile.

We tried Da Kine, Kimchi Cucumber, Kalua Pork, and Kai’s Plate with Beef Ribs Kalbi—everything was flavorful and satisfying. The Kalua Pork was especially delicious, with that tender, savory taste that pairs perfectly with a hearty breakfast. The Beef Ribs Kalbi were also a favorite—tender, flavorful, and packed with that delicious Korean-Hawaiian flair.

The Kimchi Cucumber added a refreshing, tangy crunch that balanced out the richer dishes perfectly.

The atmosphere at Shaka Shack is relaxed and welcoming, with a cozy, homey feel that makes it a really pleasant spot for a morning meal. It feels like the kind of place where you can enjoy good food without feeling rushed.

Delicious food, comforting flavors, and a laid-back Hawaiian feel—Shaka Shack is definitely worth a visit for breakfast! 🌴🍳🤙“

“Tahina is an abslute delight for anyone who loves fresh, flavorful Mediterranean cuisine! Every dish is packed with vibrant ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors that leave a lasting impression.

The falafel is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, while the hummus is incredibly smooth and rich—some of the best you’ll ever have. Everything tastes fresh, healthy, and made with care.

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff are warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a relaxed meal, Tahina is a place you’ll want to return to again and again. Highly recommended!“

“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!

“I remember going to another branch and having a really delicious meal.Came here and found it!!!I was happy to go in and have lunch.I feel like this place tastes even better!!!Please come here two or three times♡Healing time after a long time?“

“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.“

“If they would stop using MSG in their food, I'd be a frequent customer.“

“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.“
