49 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Manhattan Beach

“What a fantastic dining experience! We were so well taken care of, and the food was amazeballs! Definitely top of my list as my new favorite seafood restaurant. Elijah, the bartender was awesome and Katie went out of the way to make sure we had a lovely time. What an evening… I highly recommend this place.“

“Had the best tortilla soup ever! And Chef Steven Lutz circulating through the restaurant to say hi and assure everyone having great food and service was a treat. Don’t miss the baked goods like banana cream pie. Amazing! Very pleased and will be back again!“

“The food is absolutely brilliant, the parking is okay, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great“

“Beautiful little restaraunt by Manhattan Beach Pier. I’m there every year end of Aug.“

“Flavors that never get old. Tasty on every bite!“

“Simply Bellisimo. Perfection.“

“Such a wonderful experience! The staff at the counter were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The hot chocolate was rich, delicious, and perfectly prepared. I Highly recommend this spot for excellent service and a warm, cozy atmosphere.“

“The friendliest cafe in Manhattan Beach“

“It’s brand new and clean. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. It’s a very comfortable environment with electrical outlets and USB ports for your electronic devices. And the food! Best turkey burger I’ve had in the South Bay and those brussels sprouts are to die for. Go! Quickly! 😬❤️😬“

“Eat here. Do it and thank me later. The owner/chef was so lovely - I called over about a food allergy and she texted me a follow up. That level of thoughtfulness is nearly unheard of in food service these days. As the other reviews state the food is phenomenal, served HOT, and is inventive, thoughtfully prepared, and comforting.“

“Overall a nice stay: friendly staff, nice updated facilities, free ♿️ valet👌-3 to 4 blocks from beach. Very expensive at $500 per night, used the 2 $10 free tickets at bar for 2 drinks and still owed $8.36. This was the host hotel and stayed 2 nights Fri/Sat July 22-23, 2022, with hamburger & soup in room, total $1100. T.“

“Got here right when they opened (accidentally) and decided to give it a try since there was no line ! I ordered an iced americano and it was solid. Price was fair. They had a really cool clock on the wall and my barista was super kind. I’d definitely go back !“

“Good is always good and staff is always courteous“

“Delicious food and amazing view“

“There is nothing better than el Tarasco, rosecrans Manhattan beach. I come back to socal twice a year to visit family and we never go back without stopping here. The chicken (hard shell fried) taco is the best in the world... make sure to order a side of guacamole, their habenero salsa and cheese quesadilla. If u want to branch out carne asada tacos or the junior burrito deluxe.. ,ant go wrong. Sitting at bar stools 300 feet from the beach at a genuine taco stand that's out of this world checks all the boxes. Bring your appetite morning or late night.“

“Newish local place. Big selection of craft brews“

“The coffee was incredible here and the staff were really friendly. I did wish that they had gluten free options but I understand that that isn’t always an option for cafes. Lovely outdoor area and it connects through an outdoor garden seating area to “pages” a bookstore.“

“Highly recommended, this is a very good restaurant“

“I have lived in Manhattan Beach for over 20 years and yesterday I had maybe the best customer service experience EVER in my life. I was not able to get the young man’s name but I have this picture here that he let me take. This young man was so warm and hospitable towards everyone who walked in the store. He was very patient with me and all my sampling requests which was probably annoying because I came at a busy time, but his positive attitude never wavered. His smile lit up my day and made my ice cream taste even sweeter than it already was! I loved my experience with that young man so much that I might only get ice cream from salt in straw from now on! He also gives the best scoops, filled with a lot of joy… and ice cream as well, so request him if you can. Hopefully he is working there the next time I go, so that I can get his name and thank him for his incredible service. Salt and Straw, you found a good one.“

“I want to handel's for my very first time today. I was very impressed with all the yummy flavors but more impressed with Chris and the customer service I received. Being that it was my first time there I had alot of questions about the variety of cones and all the different flavors and what was in each ice-cream. Chris was so patient and continue to smile as he answered all my questions and let me sample a couple flavors. Chris is really an asset to Handel's.“

“I have had trouble eating lately. This is the first time I have felt hunger in quite awhile. This microbowl and Lion’s Mane Smoothie is exactly what I needed ! Many thanks to the wonderful staff who are always friendly 🙏“

“Great place for happy hour. There is plenty of bar, outdoor, and indoor seating. The staff was very polite and attentive. The quality of the food is good, although we tried a few items. The bathrooms were maintained cleaned. Definitely a place to visit.“

“A joy to be at Rice, the staff so attentive, a celebration of small plates filling our table for three. A perfect sunny evening shared.“

“Pretty good restaurant with authentic flavors. Prices are a little on the higher side, but the dishes are interesting, like the special lobster pad Thai and soft shell crab pad Thai. The lobster one seemed especially popular, so I might give it a try next time. There’s only 1 bathroom, so good luck during rush hour.“

“It was so refreshing, I will be back tomorrow 😃“

“Lovely and quaint little spot. The wine selection is excellent. Service was fantastic. Will definitely be returning.“

“Nice place and people. Good food.“

“Micah was my barista who was very knowledgeable about the espresso machine and the coffee beans used in the process of the French Toast Latte.“

“One of the best breakfast options in Manhattan Beach, and one of my favorites in South Bay in general. It’s in between a traditional breakfast restaurant and a diner, and some things I love about it are it has friendly and quick service, a giant menu, and great food. Inside is pretty large so it can host many different sized groups, and has booth and table seating. Parking in the area can be a bit tricky, we found a metered street spot a block away, but you may have to circle a few times before finding a spot.

For this visit, I chose the Crab & Avocado Benedict because those are two of my two favorite things combined, so it was a no-brainer to order. The crab was very tasty and the hollandaise was made perfectly and overall it was a great dish. I also ordered a side of fruit and they really did not skimp on the fruit quality, they gave me banana, watermelon, grapes, and didn’t just throw the melon and cantaloupe at me.

Overall, a great breakfast option and I plan to be back many times in the future.“

“Came to eat with the fam after a day at the beach. Always hit Fatburger when in town, but this one is extra good. Food was delicious, not thrown together, the girl working the register was very friendly and welcoming, and the guy on the grill went out of his way to accommodate special orders for the kids and even brought the food out himself.

Hard to find quality service, especially in the fast food space, but the two people working this store are solid.“

“The psychedelic sando & og chicken sando were so awesome. Medium sauce had a kick but went well with the sandos. Fries were great! I highly recommend!!“

“Great coffee. Way better than Starbucks and Dunkin. Please make your way to the east coast!“

“I’m eating here at Sweetgreen and honestly the staff has been super attentive, especially Andrew! I really loved his attitude and service — he was genuinely very kind, and the food was delicious too. Thank you for such a great experience!“

“Doughnuts are top notch but very pricey. $4 and up for an artisan doughnut is way too much.“

“Simply a wonderful ice cream and candy store with old school charm.

With different types of frozen bananas, cookies, and, of course, house-made flavored ice cream, this is a bit of a paradise. Personalized ice cream sandwiches also adorn the menu, or a nice ice cream shake.

For the seasoned, there are also hand-packed cartons available.

Their ice cream is something special. There are seasonal flavors and your old school favorites. The cartons change often, so multiple visits are warranted.

For an ice cream lover, I would have to say there is a good balance of overrun and fat content. The structure has a good, solid mouth feel without too much compactness. I especially like how their chocolate flavors give a sense of cocoa and not just commercial sugary chocolate. Seasonal flavors also fall in line with the same attention to detail.

Stay away from corporate-run chains and give your love for a cold treat to folks who have a passion for it.“

“Super service and good is great!“

“My dog, who is super picky, I’m talking so picky that you can treats right in front of his face and he won’t eat it ABSOLUTELY LOVES all the food - and I think we’ve tried nearly all the combinations! SURPRISED AND ABSOLUTELY THRILLED!“

“Super service and awesome selection of coffee drinks. Attention to detail is on point.“

“If you haven't been to this location, it's primarily a pick up and go place. I think there are only three tables and no fountain drinks.
But, we have dined inside more than once. Napkins and parmigiana cheese are on the table. Plastic knives and forks are behind the counter.
Use the app to get points and the occasional deal. They usually have a good $10 lunch special Monday to Friday. Personal pizza 🍕, salad and a drink or pasta and a drink. Works for me.
If you like to drink a lot with your meal, you might want to bring your large drink with you.
Enjoy!“

“Loved the ambiance, service was great, friendly, welcoming and yummy fish✨“

“Fabulous place to eat, absolutely love it.“

“Absolutely found my new favourite breakfast spot in Manhattan Beach. The menu is amazing, the staff couldn't be more welcoming and the breads are some of the best I've ever had... In fact to say the least, this may be my new go-to bakery. I live in Long Beach and it's entirely worth making the trip once a week.“

“The best pizza around, period. The owner and his staff are top notch. I went in to order to go and found out it is a complete family run business from the daughter, who I will add is very polite and welcoming. Even the delivery drivers said Hi to us while we were sitting. Awesome service“

“A large group of us used the room upstairs last night for a private party at the Hennessey's Manhattan Beach location. They went above and beyond for our party! The food was great, and drinks were delicious and our server Lindsey, was probably the best server I've had at restaurant. We weren't an easy group to work, people came in and left at different times, all our drinks and food orders came at her at different times. Both the food and drinks came back upstairs with her quickly. When my fish and chips (so yummy, by the way) arrived, I thought it must be someone else's cause I couldn't believe how fast they arrived. :-) . When Lindsey would come back up with more drinks or food, people would be sitting in totally different spots in the room, cause we were mingling, and she was able to spot the right person who ordered and drop off with no problem. When the checks came I don't even know how she kept it all straight. For example I was sitting on the other side of the room from my fiancé when I ordered a 2nd cocktail, but she knew exactly which bill to put that on. She managed all of that chaos with probably 15 different checks with a smile on her face the whole time. We will definitely be going back.“

“The food was good. Service was top notch.“

“Awesome coffee with very pleasant employees.“

“best of both worlds..New York and Chicago Pizza“

“Part of a chain, the Manhattan Beach Silverlake Ramen serves up a solid meal of Ramen (also saves me from driving to Sawtelle Blvd to eat). The Ramen is well prepared, properly spiced/flavored, and served at a proper temperature. This is the go to dish when you come here. I get the Blaze with pork because I want the extra spice level and it warms me up in the winter.
The rice bowl and the appetizers are all tasty and well prepared with good sized portions.
Service is good and they will attend to your needs but the wait staff is in between a lot of tables so it can get slightly spotty during service rushes. They will drop water carafes on the table so you do not need to ask for refills. There is a Silverlake Rewards app that is great to use to get free items if you consistently dine here, so I suggest downloading it. The points update quickly after you pay for a meal.
The environment is inside but the end of the restaurant is open to the outside of the Manhattan Village outside mall area. There are plenty of heat lamps if you are near the outside so you will stay warm. The bathrooms are clean and well serviced.
Definitely will return to dine here.“
