50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Brea

“My daughter and I ate there yesterday for the first time! The chicken was very tender and tasty… I recommend the chicken club sandwich. My daughter got the Cobb salad and the portion was huge! Their specialty lemonades are really good too! I tried the strawberry and basil! Yum!“

“I ordered from DoorDash, the food and presentation is fantastic!
BUT I’m just very confused,
how is it associated with another sushi place/restaurant in UT? J&C house?
Perhaps the manager or the owner of Chubby can help me puzzle it out?“

“I didn't get the owners name, but she was out working just like anyone else would and she was so nice and inviting, which is rare these days. The food is excellent! Extremely fresh tasting and they have some unique sauces that other poke shops don't! Definitely give this place a chance if you haven't!“

“Wonderful service 👏 Angel helped us. His great customer service and attitude was refreshing. Cheeseburger so delicious! Fries brought me back to the past. Just wish fries came with meal instead of add on. My husband had the greek salad with salmon. He was very happy. This place even has a selection of craft beers 🍻. Can't wait to come back and try the chicken sandwich. I HAVE to come for fries!“

“What a treat to have an Ubatuba in our area now! Our kids loved the acai bowl the M size is perfect for sharing and they get to choose all their favorite fruit toppings. The shop is clean and open and there is a water bottle fountain filling station that is nice and convenient. Will come back for more and try smoothies.“

“First time visiting and food was amazing and our server Damian was fantastic! We will be back!!“

“The cookies are always great. The employees sometimes stand around and ignore customers that need help using the touchscreen order pad. I have witnessed older people walk in, not know how to use the touch screen device, and employees just watch them struggle. Other than that everything is great.“

“My wife and I eat at The Hat when we want a treat. She loves the pastrami sandwich and I usually get a burger of some kind. The only thing that is certain is we get an order of chili fries, which is HUGE! We never finish the entire order but it is tasty to try every time. The only caution I have is this place can get packed around lunch and dinner so plan accordingly. We have eaten in our car many times because of the crowd.“

“My wife and I, plus my daughter Jennifer and granddaughter Breanna were very much please with our dinner last night. Michael our server came out and created us, by saying it was so nice to see you here again. Michael remember our drink order and promtly brought it out to us. The job Michael did from start to finish was amazing. From getting our order out on time and the desert was perfect for my granddaughter Breanna and my wife's as well. Always asking if everything came out right and if we needed anything else. What a perfect evening and servers like Michael make us want to eat here often. Thanks again to you Michael for giving us a beautiful evening.“

“What a great find. The restaurant and the coffee! I try to stop in whenever I'm in the area for a delicious cup of coffee. Great job, fellas!“

“We love love your restaurant!! You have the best grilled chicken ever!! We dine here about twice a month. We love Paris she is a fantastic server. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience every time. ❤️“

“The Best of Mediterranean“

“The food was really good and the gentleman working behind the counter was courteous and professional, the older lady was very rude and impatient. Will not be going again“

“Always good treats on warm days. You can never go wrong.“

“Clean atmosphere, beautiful smiles“

“Delicious grilled shrimp tacos with cabbage and plain diced tomatoes - the shrimp was prepared perfectly. My husband had grilled chicken breast tacos which were also delicious. Wish list: sliced plain avocado or avocado crema for the topping on the shrimp taco! 😊🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Fire fire fire 🐥Great Chicken & Waffle“

“First time there… the food was excellent and the service was great! Friendly and very helpful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Growing up eating pho almost as a family weekend ritual, some say I may be a hard critique. If you consider yourself a pho-holic, pho-natic, or just phoking hungry, this spot is a MUST TRY when in Orange County. Spring pork rolls also make my tummy scream more peanut butter sauce please!“

“I love this place! It’s very intimate and the ambiance is soo nice. I like the vibe here. It’s a good place to go for a date! There’s plenty of seating inside.

The sushi/sashimi are very premium! High quality, fresh and no weird smell at all! I’m obsessed. Everything that we got 10/10 highly recommended. It’s also aesthetically pleasing. The chef definitely did and amazing job 👏🏻

The service is amazing, they always check up on us if we need something and food came out fast. Everyone was nice and friendly.

“I have had The One Breakfast Burrito 3 different times now and each time I have been blown away! Now prior to this I wasn't into Breakfast burritos. They were either all half cooked hash browns and lot of eggs with little to no meat. Or all the ingredients like the meat and cheese were on one side and the eggs on the other ingredients were on the other side and dry with no consistency. I love The One Breakfast Burrito!! The ingredients are fresh and they way it is built you will have meat, eggs, tater tots, cheese and sauce in every bite! The tater tots gives this burrito a different texture and taste. No dry half done potatoes. And the service is great, I oder and go pick of from Doordash.“

“Been eating here for many years, but I'm moiling farther away. I miss their salid bar. The staff is always friendly and the food is great“

“After watching a movie with BTS J-hope nearby, our group grabbed a quick lunch at nearby Thai 7 Bistro at 1:30 pm. It was pouring outside, so we appreciated the indoor dining space and that our group of five was able to fit (thanks to the other customers who swapped tables so Thai 7 Bistro could put two tables together for us).

Since it was raining, a warm soupy dish sounded good. The kao soi ($21.95) caught most of our eyes so three of us each ordered that. I got mines with beef brisket. Crispy chicken wings were an option, but I didn't want to deal with the bones and with the wings potentially getting soggy in the soup. I usually get pad see ew or a curry or crab fried rice, so I never had kao soi before. And now that I had it, it will be part of my standard Thai food order now! I love that there were noodles in this dish plus topped with crispy noodles. The soup was almost as thick as curry. Beef brisket wasn't too fatty either. It all just went well together! I also ordered a Thai iced tea ($4.50) and that was delicious, a good balance of sweet with my very savory meal.

It did take a while for us to get the check since the restaurant got busy, but we appreciated being able to pay separately for our own order rather than try to split the bill five ways with different orders.

We had all parked at the parking structure by the theater, so it was a quick walk back. There are some street parking spots up front, but we preferred the covered parking structure given the rain.“

“They have a patio area to hold and event. Check them out it's amazing here.“

“Finally some good food. I've got to say that the owner of this restaurant and the staff there are the most nicest down-to-earth 💞“

“Service was horrific. Teen girl (so it seemed) not friendly at all and acted like she didn’t want to be there. The real horrible part though was that there cold brew- I watched the dudes fill up a plastic cub 3/4 with TAP WATER and then pour a tiny bit of coffee in after. $6.50 for tap water. Insane. DO NOT COME HERE.“

“This is a surprisingly nice restaurant inside Nordstrom's. The server was excellent. We were not rushed but he appeared the moment we needed something. The food was very good. I have had the burger and another time, the fried chicken sandwich. My friends had the salad nicoise which was delicious and filling. For the evening, the cocktails are good as well. The window seating is lovely since until the weather is warm enough for their terrace seating. Take the elevator to the 5th floor, and you won't be tempted by the January sales.“

“Express Wok has been our family’s go-to takeaway for Chinese food. We’ve been coming here for YEARS!Their Orange Chicken, Sweet Chili Chicken and Teriyaki Chicken are some of our favorites.Annie’s customer service is amazing and she always has a friendly greeting when you walk in.It’s a popular spot so they are constantly cooking dishes to replace those that are running low.Good value and great portions! The food is so tasty and yummy.“

“Their burritos are amazing“

“I took my family here for brunch and we had an awesome time. The food was delicious and unique. Our favorite was the Uber French toast. The service was amazing. The place was nicely decorated and the vibe is lively and vibrant. We will be back again.“

“🍅 🍲 And a lot of friendly peoples. Atmosphere is very nice and decorated.“

“First of all the staff was amazing! From the moment we walked in we felt welcome and engaged. They were joyful in their work and that is so important these days.

Secondly the coffee is perfection! We travel a lot, prefer to support local, and have found many places have very bad coffee. I usually ask a few questions before ordering and then get an Americano if it seems potentially bad. Here, we were given a taster! That's the way to do business folks!

We will definitely return when in Brea again.“

“356 Korean BBQ & Bar is such a vibe. The interior is modern, sleek, and super cool, definitely not your typical KBBQ spot. The lighting, layout, and overall design make it feel elevated but still comfortable enough to hang out and enjoy your meal.

What really stands out is the variety of food. From high-quality cuts of meat to all the different sides and options, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re going classic with brisket and short rib or trying some of their other specialties, everything feels thoughtfully curated and fresh.

Great atmosphere, great selection, and just an overall fun place to dine. Definitely coming back.“

“This fried chicken place is amazing! The chicken was perfectly crispy, fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor—easily one of the best I’ve had! My son, who has a dairy allergy and is a picky eater, absolutely loved it. It’s great to find a spot that not only delivers on taste but also accommodates dietary needs. This place has officially become a new favorite! Highly recommend!“

“If you golf this is a classic example of a hidden gem, old school simplicity. Nice place to relax after a round or after the driving range, Not too busy and they are trying to bring in more people by having live music. Nice alternative to have a simple meal if you live in the area.“

“The vibe is clean and spacious. The staff are very friendly, kind, and approachable. The modern aesthetic adds to the nice ambience that the overall store brings to the Brea Mall. I would highly recommend checking this coffee shop out! 5 out of 5 stars!“

“Hidden Gem

Pros:
Good food
Big portions
Friendly service
Nice ambiance ( in hotel )
Typically, no wait to seat

Cons:
Parking costs money downstairs
Slightly slow since they're not usually busy“

“Finney’s Crafthouse in Brea is an absolute favorite! The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, making it a perfect spot to hang out with friends or enjoy a casual night out.
The food is outstanding—everything from the burgers to the appetizers is packed with flavor and made with high-quality ingredients. Their craft beer selection is impressive, offering something for everyone to enjoy.
The service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who make sure you have a great experience from start to finish. Whether you're there for food, drinks, or both, Finney’s Crafthouse never disappoints. Highly recommended!“

“I tried the banana pudding and it was soooo good! It’s thick and creamy. They also had the cutest cupcakes. I really was impressed by the cashier’s customer service skills. She handled the busy flow of customers with politeness and professionalism. I appreciate how nice she was her name was Gabby. Definitely going back to try the other pudding options.“

“I received the best customer service on Monday Morning at Mountain Mikes Pizza in Brea...She was a sweet lady...I don't remember her name...But, her friendly demeanor made my entire day...and My birthday pizza was FLAWLESS... If she reads this...or someone from that store...or one of my friends visiting that store...please tell her thank you. Tony“

“This is a sushi spot my kids absolutely love.
Ordering right away and enjoying the food makes the experience even more fun.
The staff are very friendly, too.
The place is quite small though, so the wait time can be long.“

“The food is usually always good. We really like the chicken fried rice. BUT tonight we got 2 orders of the chicken fried rice and it is tasteless. Terrible. A little dry, NO eggs, maybe 6 single peas and 3 small bites of carrots. Where are the vegetable that are usually there? Do you have a new cook? It was so bad we thought it was a different rice. The rest of the food was good. If it was our first time we probably would never order the chicken fried rice again. I gave 4 stars because historically the food is typically good. If I could, one star for the rice.“

“We stopped in for a quick bite to eat (“eat to bite:” Tom Hanks in “Terminal,” 2004). Had a very nice sandwich, and a restful time to enjoy it.“

“Quick stop before taking children to school“

“Delicious food, fast and courteous service; we tried various entree and they were all amazing!“

“Had a lovely and delicious brunch. Avocado toast is 🔥! Lavender latte for the win!!“

“Very nice place to get baked goods and cakes. The baked goods were delicious they had a great donut and croissant selection. The cake was good and looks great just wasn’t the best as far as flavor goes. The service here was good very friendly and helpful staff. I really liked this place. They do discounted baked goods at the end of the night so come in if you want to grab some of the baked goods that are left at the end of the day for a great price. I’d recommend coming here.“

“Nice little diner that's around the corner. The food is good overall but priced 20-25% high based on what it is.. We usually split the order between two people since the quantity is enough and cuts the cost in half versus two entrees. I recommend Kimmies for sure.“

“They are always kind and have books for children and adults. 🩷“

“Mayra and the team at Starbucks are putting in WORK today (and probably everyday). I came to work here to the last couple of days and they are running like a well oiled machine! Despite a huge influx of customers early in the morning, the team was cheerful and gettin ordered prepared as fast as possible. When I arrive there were about 20 teenagers here before school and they were all cleared out fairly quickly.

Yesterday I tried a gingerbread latte and it was good, today I got an Americano with gingerbread syrup and it wasn’t quite sweet enough so Mayra helped me out and it was so good! Taylor was also very cheerful and making sure guests knew that they were being taken care of/their orders were on the way and overall just had a great vibe to her as she helped customers!

I was super productive while working here which was great too!

Appreciate the hard work during the holidays and the positive attitudes. Thank you!“
