50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Clayton

“What an Absolutely Delicious and Lovely dining experience. Every dish we ordered was truly Exceptional. We focused on ordering a variety of tapas and cocktails suggested by our wonderful server Amy, and she hit a home run with every recommendation. Truly better than any Spanish or Latin restaurant we’ve dined at in SF, San Ramon, Danville, and Walnut Creek. Loved the atmosphere in historic downtown Clayton too. What a Platinum Experience with Memorable flavors! Clayton you’ve got a Gem.“

“Honestly best hospitality and atmosphere I’ve had in a while. Most times you’re in a big area you don’t get top of the line service bartender David not only took care of us but made us comfortable on the visit. If he’s here will def be back !!“

“I stopped by this deli, after it was recommended to me. There was a mix up with my order and the young lady at the window was very nice and she corrected my order with no questions asked. The food was fresh, delicious and worth the wait. Great customer service. They have a few tables outside, it was a beautiful day so it was nice. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a good local spot to get a sandwich!“

“yummy food and a very nice place👍🏻“

“Goated restaurant. I would highly recommend“

“Fresh and delicious! I’ll be back for sure 😋“

“I come here 2 times a week. The staff is great!! Milly also knows my kids have a dairy allergy, so he always makes sure the drinks are made properly.

The quality of the macha is unmatched. It is whisked properly for each ordered drink.

The macha donuts are delicious and have a few great flavors.

I also have to give credit to the staff when they are busy and short handed. The staff has always kept their cool and balance taking orders and making them.“

“A hidden gem. Was introduced to this quaint oasis by friends. Since then, it has become one of my favorite haunts. The owner is extremely courteous, very generous and hospitable. We started by going there for dinner but on one occasion wanted to celebrate a friend’s birthday for lunch and needed and requested an extended and uninterrupted experience. So we were allowed to stay on beyond the 2:30 pm shut down before dinner in a very cosy and welcoming setting. The host was most attentive when needed but did not try to rush our ordering of lunch menu selections and even suggested to try some new dishes on the menu. I take all my special guests to the bungalow on rose for an exquisite dining experience.“

“Amazing food! Great flavors!“

“I was really impressed and honestly my expectations weren't that high walking in. The wine list had options you don't see everywhere and the bartender actually knew how to talk about each one. My friend ordered the burrata and I got the steak frites, both came out fast and cooked perfectly. I'm picky about steak and this one was genuinely good, juicy and seasoned well. The whole vibe was relaxed too, not pretentious like some places around here. We ended up staying way longer than we planned just because it felt so comfortable. I'll definitely be coming back and already told a few people they have to try it.“

“I am slowly working my way through the whole menu the sea bass was excellent today so was the salmon my friend enjoyed I've had the braised beef and we both had the chicken tenders we will continue to enjoy what is offer especially those new items that just came in. chef Raul and the crew know what they're doing very lovely outing every time“

“Myself and a friend were looking for an ice cream joint in the Walnut Creek area, and happen to come across this place.

The owner is very friendly. We tried a variety of flavors, and then ended up getting the Roasted Cashew, Lemon Creme and the Strawberry.

The ice cream was very creamy and thick, with the right amout of sweetness. Extremely tasty. I always try ice cream at local joints, and this one exceeded all expectations. Will definitely come back, if I am in the area.“

“It was our first time at The Melt, and Luis made the whole visit feel easy and welcoming. He helped us choose what to try, and his recommendations were on point. The Meltburger was juicy and full of flavor, the Mac Daddy was crazy good, and the Three Cheese Classic tasted like real comfort food. Luis checked in on us, made sure everything came out hot, and you could tell he really cares about the guest experience. Because of him, our first visit turned into a new favorite spot.“

“Comfortable seating, great service and food.“

“Great food friendly staffs nice variety menu“

“Great food!“

“Absolutely fantastic, this is about as authentic as you can get it. The golubtsi taste identical to my grandma’s, and while every borscht is different, this is certainly a good one. Definitely a hidden gem and I would encourage anybody curious about eastern european cuisine to come try it.“

“Very friendly owners. Brazilian pour over Iced Coffee was delicious.“

“This is our 4th time having Ellie’s Pizzeria. Our favorite so far is the cheese with the creamy garlic sauce . The all meat is amazing as well as the calzone. Can’t wait to try other things as everything we have tried has been fantastic. Highly recommend eating here 👍🏻“

“I had a caprese salad & a chicken Caesar wrap (I bet that Caesar never ate wraps), cannolis & an Arnold Palmer. All the food was good and the waiter was friendly and they had the World Cup on. There's outside seating that overlooks the Concord plaza. I highly recommend Cafe Napolina if you ever find yourself hungry in Concord, California.“

“Wonderful cookies, Excellent Consumer service“

“OMG 😳 The Ceviche (not counting my wife’s handmade ceviche) is the best I have ever tasted, and I’ve tasted a lot of ceviche. It’s soooo good. I had the Mango 🥭 Avocado 🥑 Shrimp 🍤 Ceviche it was like an explosion of flavors in my mouth, I couldn’t stop eating it. Great tacos 🌮 everything was beyond my expectations. I have probably walked by Puesto’s a hundred times but not anymore it will be my restaurant of choice when in Concord you have to try it. Sorry no picture of the Ceviche 😋“

“Pedimos diferentes platos y todo estuvo exquisito. Buen trato y excelente servicio. Recomendado 10/10“

“Delicious and fresh. Excellent vegetarian food. Great takeout service and online ordering.“

“Really enjoyed eating here. We were seated pretty quickly and the service was great throughout our visit. The food was delicious and everything came out fresh and flavorful. I also liked that the portions were just right and not overly large. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely come back.“

“Best super premium coffee beans in California, not just the Bay Area, not just Danville. Fresh, perfectly roasted, rare single origin beans. I religiously buy their Tanzanian peaberry and Panama Highlands Catuai. Can’t go anywhere else.

Plus Ida, the owner, is super nice. She remembers my wife and kids names and always gives us a free coffee when we buy the premium beans.

Highly recommend!“

“What a good choice of a restaurant to celebrate my husband's Birthday! Everything was top of the line but what amazed me the most was the friendly service that made us feel right at home. Yes...we definitely will come back!“

“recently dined-in again and had a wonderful experience, their pizza is always delicious and super fresh and the customer service is superb even from the newer employee Sreya. AJ and Mohammed were super friendly as always, efficient and quick, and made my dinner a highly enjoyable experience!!“

“Mountain Mike's never misses. The pizza was loaded with toppings, the crust had the perfect crunch, and everything came out fresh and hot. Staff was super friendly and the whole place had a great vibe.
Easily one of the best spots for pizza nights with friends or family. Definitely coming back.“

“We’ve been here a few times now. My husband really enjoys the Spanish latte. I’ve tried a few different drinks and thought they were good, but my five stars go to the amazing customer service. Irene was incredibly helpful, she answered our questions, warmly greeted us, and made a point to say goodbye to customers as they were leaving. She is very welcoming. There is plenty of seating inside, and the place is clean, tidy, and comfortable.“

“Good craft beer options to pick from. My favorites were the Simcopath and the Dino NDA. Lots of seating available inside and outside. They also have a loft area with some cool art. They have rotating food trucks as well and usually stay there until they sell out.“

“I placed a mobile order for pickup and completely messed up my own order by accident. It was just one of those days. I accidentally ordered one coffee with two flavors instead of two separate coffees with one flavor each. I was honestly embarrassed when I realized what I had done, but the barista was so kind and gracious about fixing it. They were clearly SO BUSY but she didn’t make me feel bad or make a fuss about it at all. Of course I paid for the second drink and took responsibility for the mistake, but I really appreciated her patience and great customer service. I wish I had asked for her name. Thank you again!“

“I am so grateful that we finally have a late night chai/street food spot in east bay. Chai & co located at 2115 Pacheco st, Concord is a wonderful addition! We had the anda-shami royale, samosa chaat, and fresh naan khatai from khalifa (if you know, you know). All items were excellent and authentic! The space is well decorated with board games available and most importantly clean! We can’t wait to go back and work our way through the menu!“

“What a gem! Found this cute cafe on Google Maps bc of the great reviews, and they were not wrong! My BLT was outstanding, great latte to go with it, and the owner Leon was so kind and kept me entertained while I waited 😊 11/10 for atmosphere and taste!“

“Check out this awesome local brewery with amazing beer and super friendly staff. They have a different food truck daily, and other event nights, so there's always a new reason to stop by. I recommend their beer slushy on a hot day and their horchata lager every day.“

“My sister and I went in on a whim. We had no idea that we would leave so wholly satisfied, and we left feeling like we had been guests at an old friend's house for lunch. The authentic warmth of our server, who turned out to be the owner, and the amazingly prepared food combined with the thoughtful, modern decor left us looking forward to our next visit. My sister had her first ever fish taco, and she couldn't stop taking about how delicious it was. Their tortas are also perfectly made. Every customer seemed to be enjoying their meal as much as we were. This family owned and run business offers true foodies an experience not to be missed.“

“So wonderful, thank you to my wife Shaunna for bringing me to her old hang out. Great food and nice people!“

“This hidden gem was delightful! Everything was delicious, from the lemon and cucumber flavored spa water to the crème brûlée.“

“Walked in on a Tuesday evening and the thin-crust pepperoni looked textbook — almost translucent in spots, with the cheese browned just right at the edges from a gas deck oven. The sausage came fennel-forward and crumbled, not pre-formed, which made a noticeable difference with each bite.

Prices sit around $17-18 for a 14-inch specialty, which is fair for the quality. The counter service was quick and patient, even when I asked for half-and-half toppings. The seating is simple — a few booths and tables with a clean, uncluttered vibe. No gluten-free crust here last time I checked, just the regular dough and a solid sauce that leans slightly sweet.“

“Staff is Super Friendly & Courteous and the food speaks for it self. My favorite is the Carne Asada plate with grilled hot jalapeño and two Crispy taco plane is as well delicious. Pretty much everything on the menu is delicious 😋 I can’t forgot their horchata is alway good 🥤“

“Sooooo many little kids, which would be fine in the Beer Garden but many of the young children were not being well supervised. Great vibes, good beer, too many unsupervised littles“

“Just a wonderful local resturant. Owner is always warm and welcoming. Food is always wonderful. Fantastic atmosphere.“

“Experience exceptional dining at Jack restaurant, where the waitstaff and bartender provide top-notch service with a smile. They take the time to ask about your meal and ensure that every detail meets your satisfaction.“

“what a wonderful place to have breakfast I have not tried their lunch yet but it was so good and the portions are really big I really enjoyed myself with my family.“

“Loving the selection of beers 👍🏻“

“Great vibe, wonderful service and Delicious products!“

“Amazing people serving amazing food!! Going to be ordering for my family members for Christmas gifts“

“Excellent restaurant. Had the braised beef noodle soup. GET IT! Staff friendly. Food tasty. Properly priced. I expected a “typical” Chinese restaurant experience. I expected a typical offering. Mostly soups with some rice dishes. Pleasantly surprised by the menu. Thank you.“

“Pupusas are delicious, best I've had in a loooong time. We had the special; revualtas and bean and cheese 3 for $10. Warm and inviting woman who took my order is so friendly and makes the whole place feel like a family. Restaurant is so clean and decor is inviting. Will be back more frequently!“

“Really solid dumpling spot in downtown Walnut Creek. Dumpling Hours has more of a casual, old-school local restaurant vibe, which I personally liked. It is not the kind of place that feels super fancy or overly polished, but that actually made it feel more authentic and comfortable to me.

The food was the best part. The xiao long bao were juicy and flavorful, and I really enjoyed the larger dumplings as well. They were filling without feeling too heavy, and they had that satisfying handmade dumpling texture. One dish that stood out more than I expected was the wood ear mushroom salad. It was fresh, light, and had a nice texture that balanced really well with the dumplings.

Service was pretty typical for a busy dim sum-style restaurant: straightforward, quick, and not overly chatty, but totally fine for the type of place it is. I actually don’t mind that when the food comes out hot and the meal moves smoothly.

Overall, I liked the local feel of the restaurant and would definitely come back when I’m in the mood for xiao long bao and dumplings. It is a nice option to have in Walnut Creek, especially if you want something casual, comforting, and different from the usual downtown restaurant choices.“
