50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Lake Balboa

“Black Heart Coffee Co.

is the perfect spot for a good start to the day! The frittata was delicious, and the avocado toast felt truly gourmet. The pickled onions added a nice tangy taste to the toast. The butterscotch latte was absolutely divine. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the friendly staff made me feel so welcomed. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town!“

“The whole experience food service is professional and kind“

“Tonight this burger might be the Best Fatburger I’ve had in years! No lie, I couldn’t take a pic if I wanted to I was so damn hungry! 😂

“So glad my daughter and I stopped here. We each had breakfast burritos and they were excellent. Not only delicious, but big. We both tried the hot salsa and liked it. The atmosphere was very inviting. The service was the best I've received in a very long time. The server was very attentive and sweet. The cook came out and asked if we were enjoying our meal. He was interested in our feedback. We both decided we would be back even though we don't live in the area. It was definitely worth the effort of finding parking. Don't pass this place up
PS, the cook let us try the birria. That's what I'm ordering next time. Yum“

“Delicious authentic Roman cuisine …“

“My granddaughter and I were in a rush to an appointment but were so hungry. We stopped in, mentioned we were in a slow hurry and they delivered the Sushi in a flash Fresh great customer service and easy to express our likes. We will be back! Thank you so much.“

“Be careful- the spicy tuna crispy rice is addicting! Taisho is our go to spot when family & friends visit from out of town. You can’t go wrong with anything you order there. It’s all delicious. Highly recommend checking out their happy hour!“

“I just ordered for the first time today and I must say your food is fantastic! Generous portion with pickles and delicious soft boiled eggs, pickles, puréed fresh tomatoes and a small amount of hot sauce that isn’t too hot. Just right. Went to your place near corner of Van Nuys and Burbank. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED“

“Got the lobster roll and a lobster bisque - both were excellent!! Very fresh chunky lobsters in the roll that is not overpowered by butter but just balanced. The bisque did not have fillers (e.g., potato, veges) so you could appreciate the lobster bits inside!“

“I highly recommend this restaurant. Great food and great service.“

“Excellent food and service. Thank you!“

“I stopped by this spot on the way to dinner over the weekend. Parking was a little limited, but there were plenty of public lots and street parking nearby. The shop is super cute, and I picked up a few cookies: Guava Cheese, KitKat Tiramisu, Ube Coconut Éclair, and Peanut Butter Banana Brûlée.

What I loved most is that they add the toppings fresh after you order! The cookies were soft, flavorful, and had a nice hint of cinnamon. My favorite was the Guava Cheese🤍

The staff were really friendly and explained each flavor. Next time, I want to try their ice cream since I saw a lot of people ordering it!!!“

“My very first time at Jinya Ramen Bar in Studio City and everything was beyond fantastic, from the service from our waitresses Juliana and Sophie, and the food. I can’t say anything bad about this place and my experience.
I’m definitely coming back“

“I’ve always been curious about this restaurant, and I’m so glad I finally went! The service was fantastic and super friendly. They even helped us pick out our plates. I absolutely loved my lasagna—it’s seriously one of the best I’ve ever had. Plus, the sodas are so authentic, I can’t get enough. And the best part I was sitting right next to the grove water fountain!“

“Malama polo restaurant is best�Highly recommend for all.“

“Great atmosphere, Hector was great!“

“I have been going to Porto's since the 1980's..the one in Glendale. How elated I was with having them being in Northridge where I live. The food is terrific and the lines go fast due to a tremendous quick system they have. The catering for parties has never let us down and people you have invited that never have experienced Portos are thrilled. The cakes are delicious. What I do miss is not having the individual cake slices for purchase so you can experience the taste. They only have the neapolitan, Parisian, and carrot for slices. I've seen the menu change over time and do miss some of the items.“

“Garcia brothers Cafe is absolutely amazing. The staff is very attentive. The food is killer. The atmosphere, ambiance is amazing. Absolutely my favorite Cafe.“

“Just really tasty vegetarian entrees. Samoas are a hit and the naan is so delicious and soft and warm. Today they gave me a hot chai tea. Very thoughtful. Cold and raining ☔️ and it was hot and delicious 🫖“

“yes great service. their food is always cooked at time of ordering. everything is fresh!“

“We were 5 ppl ,ordered like 8 dishes all were amazingly great my first time to Gokaku Rama. Was so worth it after all day in universal su Dr ios,3 min drive to Gokaku place ..I did not want to end my meal .this is the best restaurant“

“This restaurant is great. The food is delicious, the menu has something for everyone, the service is excellent and the atmosphere is lovely. I will definitely be a return customer.

Parking: Very tiny parking lot with most spaces with 10 minutes limits for pickup for other businesses so we parked in neighborhood.“

“It is the best açaí in OC.😉💪🏿💪🏾💪🏻“

“Always a hit for a group meal, date night, catch up with a friend. I've had at least 3 birthday meals (brunch/dinner) between this location and West Hollywood. The flavors/execution of the food is truly top notch, and the decor and ambience is always so cute, warm, and comforting.“

“Must get sushi, but don’t forget the corn tempura and momotaro tomato (seasonal). Awesome sake selection too.“

“We loved this place; delish food, great location and lovely Parisian vibe!“

“Service excellent. Food good with one minor complaint. In the past I ordered pasta all vodka. It was excellent. This time it was spicy. Was not expecting that. Not as good spicy. Staff was excellent in providing cake to our 4-year-old birthday girl.“

“I am 65 years old. We had dinner at Humble Bird Saturday night. I have never, repeat, NEVER had chicken this good. Crisp, juicy (but not dripping like other places), no grease in sight. We got mild, but used the hot honey supplied and what a combination of flavors. We also got potato salad and slaw. Both great additions to an already wonderful meal. The staff was really friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The place was spotless. I live north of Seattle, but would consider driving down just for more of their chicken...Well, and to visit my kids.“

“Horseless Carriage restaurant is an American diner located at the Galpin Ford dealership serving up large portions of old fashioned and modern comfort food for reasonable prices.

I came to visit Galpin Ford recently after visiting the nearby Sepulveda VA center to look at a pickup trucks for my elderly veteran friend's 5th wheel. Afterwards we were in the mood for a good old fashioned American breakfast and this place really hit the spot!

Pass the big American flag just east of the dealership where a cute sunny patio, counter seating, cozy booths and well spaced tables are all available and wheelchair accessible.

There's an early bird breakfast special which offers light breakfast for under ten dollars for early risers.

We ordered French toast with eggs, bacon and sausage. The French toast was drenched in eggy batter, the bacon was lean and crispy, the eggs were cooked to perfection.

Our server was friendly and service was fast. Everything was wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant to you fellow world travelers.

Fun inside scoop. I was in a band when I was teenager and the owner of this dealership was often in the crowd singing along. He's an awesome guy. I'm not surprised this restaurant is so beloved by everyone!“

“What an amazing space of delicious creativity. The staff are amazing and it’s just not for students it’s for friends and families. The pizza is amazing and filled with your favorite ingredients. The fresh taste and the crisp crust will make you want an xl pizza upon your return. Hey this is the place for great food and fun.“

“This experience at H&H has been one of our favorite times at the restaurant. We’ve been to other locations but the service and people here at the Beverly Hills location really takes the cake. From our server, Lo, to the bartenders, and the manager, Ellen, we were completely taken care of from start to finish. Definitely recommend coming to this location!“

“I celebrated Mother’s Day on the 12th of May 2024 at Joey in Woodland Hills. Very friendly atmosphere. Friendly welcoming . We had a very good and friendly service from Kavin. Good food. Nice presentation.“

“We visit our grandkids (and their parents) from Florida. We stumbled across The Butcher's Daughter in West Hollywood (CA) and it became our faourite restaurant out here in 1 visit. The food is amazing. The actual restaurant is very different in layout but very appealing. The wait staff have all been top of the line. I went there last night with 2 friends that I haven't seen since we all went our separate ways 40 years ago (two are here in CA) and we had a great time. It was a wee bit noisy at night - the mornings are usually a little quieter. We took my grandkids there - 16-month-old twins - and again, the experience was excellent. We are all looking forward to going back again as soon as we can. Charles PS. The Mushroom, quinoa and beet burger with gruyere is completely mental - in a very good way. And if you want your country fries crispy, they will do that too!“

“Excellent.“

“Great night for Luke’s 50th Birthday!!“

“😉😉really friendly good portions must try“

“All I can say is that I’m completely floored by my experience with andSons. I recently ordered the chocolate and coffee pairing, and it was nothing short of remarkable. When I bit into the passion fruit bonbon, it felt like the first time I had truly tasted passion fruit. The quality is off the charts — you can taste and feel the craftsmanship and dedication poured into every piece of chocolate.

My favorite was the s’mores; I especially appreciated the way the textures evolved throughout the confection, making every bite interesting and indulgent.

As someone who loves fine things, I really admire how thoughtfully every aspect of this brand is executed. Having worked for Steinway & Sons for years, I have a deep appreciation for excellence, and discovering andSons reignited that same passionate feeling I have for those who perform at the highest level.

Well done, andSons.“

“Wonderful place Great drinks and food“

“Excellent brunch food and drinks, lovely atmosphere. Chilaquiles, shakshouka and pain au chocolat were delicious. Cannot wait to go back to the patio for dinner!“

“Our first impression of this place was a good one. I yelped this place after our dinner down the street. One con to this place is parking sucks. We had to park across the street at the grocery store and walked across the street. You can order online or at the store on a screen. Very minimal interaction with a person. The only time you see someone is when they're putting together your order. We ordered the horchata cheesecake, chocolate chip bread pudding, and a apple tart. The cheesecake was really good but the crust needs to be thicker to help balance out the sweetness. The bread pudding is also a recommendation, if you take it to go the person recommended to microwave it for 45 seconds or in our case, we used our oven toaster for 4 mins. This place closes at midnight so a good place to go to for your sweet tooth especially late night munchies.“

“Great food and wine with a view“

“An unforgettable night thanks to the incredible staff, chef, and entire team at Merois! They made my husband’s birthday surprise absolutely perfect—a memory we’ll cherish forever. Huge gratitude to Wolfgang Puck for the outstanding food. Truly a fantastic evening!“

“I have tried out many coffee shops in the area but this one has the BEST COFFEE. No matter what I order it's always been amazing. Staff is so friendly and I love going there to do work :)“

“First time ordering from Ozzy’s Apizza for me. I was very pleased. I had been wanting to try it out for a few weeks. I hope it’s consistent because I am definitely coming again. I had the mega powers and the Swanson. Love the style, love the taste.
As a business owner myself I can really appreciate a good quality product.“

“We visited Sweet Angeles today and had the best experience. The staff were super friendly and welcoming - it felt like they were genuinely happy to have us there.
We ordered the chocolate, Dubai chocolate, and strawberry ice creams - all were rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The Dubai chocolate was especially unique and definitely a favorite. We also shared a piece of cake (so good!) and an iced coffee that hit the spot. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing.
The place itself has a really cozy and relaxed vibe - perfect for hanging out and enjoying a sweet treat.
Overall, it was a lovely experience and we're already looking forward to going back!“

“I can’t wait to go back and try different sandwiches. I had the WeHo today and the bread was perfectly toasty and crunchy and the sandwich was delicious. The owner, Sina is so hospitable and friendly. I went with my coworkers and we had a lovely time. Thank you LA Sandwich Bar - can’t wait to come back and try more sandwiches soon!“

“We had a great time at this place food was delicious and the restaurant was very nice and friendly staff +Owner very friendly.They special care for vegetarians people.Thanks for everything you did for my family and friends.❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏“
