50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Laguna Beach

“Wigz is THE spot in Laguna. It’s perfect if you wanna grab a sandwich and head a few steps over to the beach, or even chill and sit at the shop.

The spicy tuna grinder is my go to, and everything is just amazing quality — i love their breads especially.

It keeps getting better every time I go back, and it wasn’t until like my 4th visit that I realized they have more seating in the back as well as a bar!“

“Very well managed and great food.“

“The food was amazing! Delicious focaccia with marinara to start, then amazing short rib ravioli, and finally a delicious Margherita pizza. The dough is excellent! Nice and thin- chewy edges full of light air bubbles! Excellent wine choices and our server was very helpful with her suggestions!“

“Great Italian Ice cream, good service and fun place for all ages!“

“Each dish is spectacular. Love the calamari ….can be an appetizer to share or eat on your own with a salad. 230:Forest Avenue never disappoints!!!“

“First of all, I wanted to thank the owner for a wonderful experience at this coffee shop in the heart of Laguna!

“Traditional style. A great hang.“

“My granddaughter said it was fantastic! She got 6 different flavors and wow she stated they all was delicious....“

“Quick and fresh. Loved our burritos. Seems to be more of a take out place. There’s two tables out front, one of which we were able to snag to chow down before heading to our appointment in town. The cabbage in the burrito gives it that crunch and the salsa is so flavorful. The steak was delicious too! I added beans and no rice for maximum flavor!!!“

“Love Neapolitan! Great service. Terrific selection. Our pizza was so tasty - crust and light sauce Yum! The Caprese Buratta was fresh and creamy. Fabulous, decadent dessert options. Very nice wine and beer list. Will return. Definitely recommend.“

“Súper recomendado muy sabroso 😋 y muy amables todos 💕🙏“

“The Lumberyard located in beautiful downtown Laguna Beach is a great place to have lunch or dinner. There is a new $16 lunch menu and I decided to try the fish tacos. There was a choice between salmon or halibut for the tacos which included shredded cabbage with a pink cream sauce and a side of black bean and corn salad. I chose the halibut for my taco and it was cooked perfectly. It was a generous portion of fish in each of the tacos so it could easily be split with a friend. The service was excellent. Our orders were taken within about five minutes of sitting down and the food came out quickly after we ordered. I would recommend the Lumberyard if you are visiting Laguna Beach. You will need to have reservations during the Art Festivals or when there is a play at the Playhouse.“

“I use to go to RH with my family in the 70's. Atmosphere always transported us to Hawaii. They were famous for BB ribs, drinks, unique salad (with mayo dressing) and even served a bowl of crudite' with celery, salami, etc. every meal. I didn't like the modern re model, however, NOW THIS RE BUILD iS so cool! Just like the 1970's but better!! Dim lit and Hawaiian music set the mood. I was really anxious to try the ribs again. The service was GREAT appetizer excellent but, ribs, BAD! They were not edible. Hard and chewy, like beef jerky. I was so disappointed and all of our party ordered and received the same. I may try again but won't order ribs!!!“

“Very good modern Vietnamese food at reasonable prices just across the street from the beach.“

“Sweet local spot and amazing jalapeño poppers“

“When you taste them, you'll know he qualities they possess that you can't resist“

“Yummy breakfast pastries, sandwich and coffees!“

“Oatmeal wax delicious as well as decaf cappuccino 😁👍“

“Food was delicious and service was fast. Only outdoor seating and walk up window to order. Perfect spot to grab a bite before the pageant of the masters about 10 minute walk from there! Steak Street Tacos beans and rice were excellent. A little disappointed they had run out of the jerk chicken. We will have to go back to try it!“

“We absolutely love this spot. Parking is easy first of all. Street if you’re lucky or go in the garage under the building and they validate for you! Then most importantly the food. Consistently amazing! We eat here like once a month and it’s always perfect. Everything is delicious and high quality. We lived in Japan and are picky with our sushi and this place is fresh enough to meet the mark. The pressed sushi is delicious. Our absolute favorite is the yellowtail jalepeno sashimi. Omg I could eat 4 plates. Shishito peppers or edamame make a great starter and are super fresh and cooked perfectly. Wine is always good- nice selection of sakes too.“

“The best food in Laguna Beach.“

“Literally a hole-in-the-wall, but with GREAT Mediterranean food. Limited seating with an ocean breeze. Pricey, but worth it!

Parking: Don't drive to this place. Make your plans to enjoy Laguna Beach on foot, parking in one of the paid garages, and walk to this place. It's worth it!“

“The turkey & Swiss sandwich and tuna salad sandwich were insanely incredible! The dressing on their salad was delicious!!! Shyla was so sweet, a true gem! We’ll be back!!!! ♥️♥️“

“My wife and I concluded our honeymoon with a quick stop here. We were the first customers of the day and received swift service. The ice cream itself is okay (there are only a couple options), so if you're looking for really good, pure ice cream, you are probably better off going elsewhere. But the toppings are fun and great for photos.“

“Poki Tiki has been one of our favorite places in Laguna Niguel for a long time, so when we were visiting Laguna Beach and saw this location, we immediately decided to stop by. We already knew that we liked Poki Tiki, but this visit honestly exceeded our expectations and made us love this place even more.

First of all, the portions were very generous. Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. The fish tasted incredibly fresh, all the ingredients were high quality, and there was a great selection of toppings and sauces. You can really taste the difference when a restaurant cares about the quality and freshness of its food. Every bite was flavorful, and we left completely satisfied.

The service was just as impressive as the food. A young woman and a young man helped us, and both were extremely friendly, welcoming, patient, and professional. They created such a positive atmosphere and made us feel genuinely appreciated as customers. Excellent service like this makes a good meal even better.

One small moment especially showed us how much the employees here care about their customers. We bought a Coca-Cola but accidentally left it inside the restaurant. We had already walked outside when we suddenly saw one of the employees, possibly the manager, running toward us with the drink and calling, “Hey, guys, you forgot your Coca-Cola!” He absolutely did not have to run outside to find us, but he made the effort anyway. It may seem like a small gesture, but it meant a lot to us and made us feel that the people working here truly care. We were very pleasantly surprised and grateful.

The location is also excellent. It is in a beautiful area of Laguna Beach, easy to find right near the road, and there is parking nearby, which makes stopping here very convenient. The restaurant itself is clean, pleasant, and has a relaxed atmosphere—perfect for enjoying a fresh and healthy meal after spending time around Laguna Beach.

Overall, this was an outstanding experience from beginning to end: large portions, delicious food, incredibly fresh fish and ingredients, a beautiful and convenient location, and a wonderful team that goes above and beyond for its customers.

We already loved Poki Tiki in Laguna Niguel, and now we can confidently say that the Laguna Beach location is just as amazing. We will definitely be coming back and recommending it to our friends and family. If you are looking for fresh, flavorful poke, generous portions, and truly kind service in Laguna Beach, this is absolutely the place to visit. Five stars are not enough—this place deserves five stars plus!“

“Muy ricas y frescas, algo diferentes de las que se comen en mi pais( Argentina) pero sabrosas, las recomiendo a todos los que visiten Laguna Beach! Aprobadas!“

“Great coffee and breakfast croissants.. enjoyed on their patio 💕“

“Two words...Morning Sugar. That alone makes it worth it (special concoction that livens up your coffee).

Spiced Plum tart...what!?!? Off the chain good.

I had the eggs and ricotta on sourdough... never had anything like it before. Fluffiest eggs. Delish side salad.

And the Potatoes!!! OMFG. Magical & Dill must be how they are made.

Add that to great service, cute pantry items for sale and a impressive variety of menu items... this is the place you want as your GO TO.“

“I ordered the Moulin Salad - chicken and pesto- excellent!“

“Great place to grab some good food and enjoy a cold beer with friends. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to hang out, have a few drinks, and enjoy a casual meal together. Good food, good beer, and great vibes. Definitely worth checking out!“

“We ate dinner here last night. Probably the best sushi we’ve ever had. The staff was great as well.“

“Never miss a stop at Zinc when I’m in the area. Can always find something I love to eat, no matter what I’m in the mood for.“

“just love this hole in the wall. Its the best“

“The atmosphere is a wonderful and relaxing change from the high tech look of too many restaurants today. It's softly lit and comforting. The food is excellent. The branzino was cooked perfectly, the side dish of french lentils was a treat and the apple pie delicious. It's a treasure.“

“we are visiting and just happened upon this little spot for a quick lunch. the service is top notch and the burgers are amazing!“

“Wahoo’s is always an easy choice when I want something quick without getting typical fast food. The food tastes fresh, the portions are good, and there are plenty of options depending on what you’re in the mood for. The staff has always been friendly, orders come out quickly, and the laid-back atmosphere makes it a great spot for lunch or dinner.“
