28 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Imperial Beach

“Great place to get coffee,super friendly and patient staff. I had the Cognitive Mushroom before and today I tried the Midnight Vietnamese both decaf I loved them both. Make sure to also try their protein donuts, my favorite is chocolate. Indoor and outdoor seating beautiful views and you can take a little walk while you enjoy your drink.“

“Nice place, all staff nice guys , Every time we go we have a great time“

“Food & Folks are always Fabulous“

“Best pizza, the wings are on fire“

“I LOVE this place. I always order chicken sopes but with grilled chicken and no lettuce. Yesterday, I tried the Albeto burrito and it was phenomenal, tastes similar to a Philly cheesesteak but better.
I’ve been eating here for four years and food has always been consistent and good.“

“The coconut shrimp is amazing! Excellent food and service! The owner Paul does a fabulous job!“

“I am new to IB and am just so impressed with Katy's Cafe! They are busy (so you know they're good!), but they get your order out quick. The staff is friendly, inviting and accommodating! I had my dog and daughter and they could obviously tell that I had my hands full and brought my order outside to me without me even asking. I have definitely found my go to local coffee shop!“

“As the author of The Grant Colson Thriller Series and SERA Archives Thriller Series, I’ve spent a lot of time around Cow-A-Bunga Ice Cream & Coffee, and it’s one of those classic local spots that’s hard to miss.

This is a simple walk-in ice cream shop, but that’s part of the appeal. It’s right near the IB Pier Plaza with plenty of seating around, so you can grab a scoop and head outside to enjoy it by the beach.

I’ve had more scoops here over the years than I can count. The flavor selection is excellent, with plenty of fun options, and it’s the kind of place you keep coming back to without thinking twice.

The staff is always super friendly, which adds a lot to the experience. It’s quick, easy, and welcoming every time.

Inside, the artwork on the walls gives the place a fun, laid-back personality that fits perfectly with the beach vibe. It’s also the kind of relaxed setting I’ve thought about while writing The Maui Desire Romance Series, where simple moments like this can carry a scene.

Overall, it’s a great local stop. Simple, reliable, and exactly what you want after spending time near the pier.“

“Great burgers. Outstanding customer service“

“I don't have any pictures unfortunately. Inside was pretty alright. Nothing too fancy nor exotic like Sushi Roll off of Broadway. -Looked like it used to be a Fast Food chain before it became Meijo Sushi judging by the drive thru. This gave me vibes that of Niban Japanese Restaurant near Convoy. The food such as the sushi however is one of my top favorites of all sushi/Japanese restaurants I've been to. I highly recommend the Seared Ahi Roll. First time trying it, and haven't seen that anywhere else especially near home. Arguably to myself, one of my favorite sushis out there. I even took my girlfriend here and that was a successful date. This just goes to show, never judge a restaurant by its interior. The food was spectacular. It's in a plaza and parking is plentiful.“

“I DO recommend Pizza Port, however their pizza is not consistent. You can definitely tell if they are busy or not, the quality goes down. A few weeks ago the pizza was delicious, beautiful even (I wish I would have taken a picture) lol. Today, not so much , picture included. I will continue to eat here just hoping the pizza becomes more consistent“

“great server Zelma! she referred us!“

“Our experience was superb! Food was amazing! So impressed with the delicious crab cake! And, we loved that our waiter made sure we celebrated our dear friend's birthday with a special ice cream treat at the end of our fabulous dining experience. Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“Never knew that they deliver locally! THAT,... was a great surprise“

“This place is great. Service on point and the IBAC burger is awesome. All of the food is good, I just am a huge fan of avocado right now which is on the IBAC burger. Shockingly good milkshakes as well. Always a good drink special and kid friendly? Love this for me“

“Thank you so much for taking my order over the phone and delivering to my MIL so quickly!!! You are at the top of our Delivery list!!!“

“Great place, love the atmosphere...but 30 dollars for a hat is a bit outrageous!
Bartender Tom was awesome!
The sign on the bar said 25 dollars for a hat but the owner happened to be there and told Tom that it's 30 dollars now. Shouldn't have the price advertised on the bar and then change it willy nilly. That part kinda sucked but otherwise I really loved the place!“

“I spent many years in the San Diego area and Don Pancho's machaca burrito was a must have as often as possible! I wish they could ship some to Ohio!!“

“I’m a Jersey Girl, and this pizza reminds me of NJ pizza.. ……….which is a huge compliment!!! I recommend this place!!!“

“The best portobello tacos and the kombucha 😋“

“Very reasonable prices for delicious tacos. It was super busy but there wasn't any issue finding an open seat. Their salsa bar has a number of different types of salsa/aioli (avocado, chipotle, etc) and paired very well with the tacos. 100% recommend if you're in the area.“

“After Gustave had catered an event at our preschool for the second time, he invited my colleagues and I to come by his new location in downtown, and we did! He served us personally and recommended just the right menu items for our preferences (vegetarian, spicy, mild,...), ordered them and served them. We thoroughly enjoyed the tasty hotdogs, corn and fries. Let's not forget about the drinks from the Abbey and the sweet desert: churro with ice cream! The atmosphere was casual, festive with the strings of lights and the very recently installed inflatable penguin on the roof, that conveyed Holiday cheer! Thank you Gus for a delightful evening!“

“Fun crowd, ample drink selections so much space to sit down and drink with friends or family. Pool tables are available as well, although I’m not sure how much the price to play is, or if it’s free. Bartenders are friendly and cool. Couple of food spots in the immediate area to eat at after, definitely worth a visit in the area. Their bullpen token concept is also very cool!“

“I love stopping by Arandas Café whenever I’m in Imperial Beach. It’s such a cute little spot and it always feels cozy. This time I got a matcha, their freshly squeezed orange juice, the Monte Cristo, and a parfait — everything was so fresh and honestly so yummy. The vibe is calm, the people are sweet, and it’s just one of those places you’re happy you found. Definitely one of my little go-to gems.“

“I like to get chai and matcha here. Prices start at $5.50 for specialty coffee and non-coffee drinks which is very reasonable. They also have pup cups for your dogs and are generous with whipped cream.
Plenty of seating available or you can take the coffee to the beach or walk. Baristas change often but I never had any inconsistencies with my drinks. The young girl working there is really sweet.
I recommend this place for good prices and dog-friendliness.“

“Amazing! We have a place on Seacoast and I highly recommend this Grill! We give it a 10!!!! We we are so happy with the food and service. Two nights in a row!!!“

“Muy rico y excelente atención por parte de Nancy☺️🙌🏻“

“Food is always served quickly (~5 minute) and hot, employees are always friendly and approachable, and the bathrooms are always clean. I ommitted one star due to the inconsistency of their service. Sometimes they allow you to switch the bread from the 3 finger combos with an extra sauce, other times the cashier tells you that's only possible for the larger combos. So, some days you're allowed to customize your order and other days you're not. Other than that, this place is always comfortable and the food is delicous.“
