23 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Brentwood

“My go to bar! Me and my brother in law have been coming to this place for a while now. They have great sours, ciders and beers. We tend to try the sours the most and they have a great selection. The staff is very friendly and approachable. 10/10 recommend the Hop if you like a relaxing friendly type vibe place.“

“Very friendly staff, great beer and relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!“

“This place has ruined any other Chinese restaurant for me after finding this hidden gem! I debated even writing this review by telling myself not to ruin the amazing speed with which we received our food, but the thought of losing my new go-to spot due to low foot traffic was too much to bare.

I had been wanting to find a local spot that offered this style of Chinese cuisine, especially with the hand-pulled noodles and options for fresh-made dumplings, so this was a perfect place to go.

The location is near perfect, as it's very close to me by downtown Brentwood, and in an unassuming area of the shopping center. The only downside is the parking lot, but that's not the restaurants fault. The decor inside is very welcoming.

When we arrived, we were greeted right away by everyone within the open kitchen, which gives you a great view of the preparations of the fresh-made dishes, and told to take any open seat. The restaurant has approx. 15-16 tables, but even when we arrived on a weekday around 5pm, only 2 of them were being used.

The menus are small QR codes on a plaque near the edge of each table, with each code containing your table number, and directs you to a website with your restaurant's current menu. The menu has a well-organized selection of food, complete with photos of every dish, and usually a description of the ingredients. There's symbols for spice levels and the prices are clear and easy to read.

We were worried about how to request ways to customize the dishes, as it didn't appear you could at first. For some dishes, you can select between beef, pork, shrimp, etc on the dumplings and bowls, but not many other choices before adding the dish to your digital order. However, once the items are added to your digital order, you can make a wide number of customizations, including spice levels, noodle types and thickness, food allergies, and removing certain ingredients that you just don't like.

My husband and I settled on 2 main courses and 2 sides, with the plan to share the apps and enjoy our own mains. After placing the order, the food arrived in less than 3 minutes (if that!) It look longer to review the menu than for both of us to receive our main courses. I had ordered the Pork Belly with thin flat noodles and my husband ordered the Beef Broccoli Rice Bowl for our main courses, along with the Pan-Fried Dumplings and Beef & Onion Meat Pie as starters.

Needless to say, the speed showed how fresh the food was, and while we planned on sharing dishes, we each devoured our own starters and mains. The quality was excellent, the service was top-tier, and the taste was beyond explanation!

We will definitely be back!“

“I’m embarrassed to say that it took me this long to pop in and try out this amazing place. My business is literally one block over from theirs. But, as business owners, we tend to cut and run when our day is finally done. Anywho, this place is amazing! Such a warm atmosphere and the staff were fun and super helpful. Since I was a fish out of water, their staff went out of their way to show me what they had that I may like. That was awesome because I’m a pain in the butt! I don’t drink beer. At all… Never have… my hubby does and that’s all that matters and if they carry wine for me, which they do, I’m good too! We had a great time meeting with friends there. I will definitely frequent this place! You should too!“

“The food is absolutely killer — truly zero complaints there. Everything I’ve had has been delicious and full of flavor.

Where things get a little tricky is with consistency and service. Sometimes you’ll order a dish and it’s prepared one way, and other times it comes out a bit different with extra ingredients. It’s still good, just not always consistent.

Ordering over the phone can also be hit or miss. While calling directly usually gets you a better price, there have been multiple times where orders were mixed up. It can feel a little chaotic — staff taking other orders mid-call or multitasking — and occasionally the order is repeated back incorrectly. Even after correcting it, mistakes still happen, and that can be frustrating.

That said, the food quality really is fantastic. If they can tighten up the ordering and consistency side of things, this place would be next-level.“

“Amazing atmosphere, tea, and treats! I went near valentines day and they even accommodated delicious vegan/ vegetarian options. Their music playlist was great too. 10/10“

“Delicious food and drinks + awesome outdoor seating + friendly staff + fun events … super love this place!“

“I visited Eight Acres for dinner and brunch and loved both experiences. The atmosphere is beautiful with an open, airy dining room upstairs, a speak easy vibe downstairs and views of the surrounding hills. The staff is very friendly and make you feel at home. Our favorite dish so far is the Blueberry French Toast at brunch. It has a light crust around the side that reminds me of a creme brulee crust. Highly recommend!“

“My experience with Dino’s, my wallet fell out of my pocket inside the restaurant and I completely didn’t know. The owner, Dennis hand delivered to my address on my license and was extremely humble to not accept a reward only to “keep supporting Dino’s.” Dino’s has a customer for life. Thank you Dennis.“

“Great coffee and great people“

“My mother and I came to set up a reservation for a birthday wine tasting. Steve helped us out and gave us an amazing experience. He helped set up the reservation and shared the information of the wines for tasting. My favorite was the 2023 Mt. Diablo White! Amazing people and great experience overall!“

“Have not been disappointed yet! Have been stopping here weekly for a few months now with 8yo and the food and drinks are always delicious. My top drinks are the strawberry banana smoothie and the lemon black tea. 8yo refuses to drink anything but the earl grey milk tea with boba. Apparently its her perfect drink. We have tried several snacks, including the onion pancakes, potstickers, garlic noodles and others, and have enjoyed them all. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, the music is never obnoxiously loud, and the dining area is always clean.“

“Nitro is the best at this location. And friendly staff“

“When I attended high school, I was always so excited when I had Willys money! During both my pregnancy’s, they were always my number one craving! In 2021, we moved across the US and I was so sad that there wasn’t one out here. In March 2023 my husband went home on business and drove 45 minutes out of his way to bring me some home! When there, he found out they SHIPPED! I just received my first order and I am so happy. It tastes like home. Thank you Scott for making this easy! I am so appreciate for you!“

“We(especially our kids) love sip and scoop. We have visited for ice cream, come in for coffee, used them for catering and even used their ice cream cart at our daughter’s birthday party. The staff is wonderful and their product is great. We will be back again soon!“

“Can't believe it took me so long to find them!!!! Absolutely flavorful food, large portions and great service. VERY POLITE and amazing customer service. This will be a weekly spot for us 🥙😋“
