48 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 friendliest cafe in Manhattan Beach“

“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!“

“Bluestone lane….more like 5 star lane!! This place was absolutely amazing to me and my fiancée. We will definitely be back. Shoutout Randal for making my day. I walked in there not knowing what to get and he knew exactly what I needed and his smile and attitude made everything better. Shoutout to all the other staff as well. I didn’t get a chance to try out the food, but that gives me a reason to go back.“

“Simply Bellisimo. Perfection.“

“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.“

“This location for goodboybob has been a favorite of my wife and I since we moved to the south bay. Its convenient location adjacent to the public library and a block up from the beach makes it a frequent pit stop or starting point for us. The coffees are always delicious and the pastries are solid. Though the pastries can run a little pricey it is consistent with the surrounding market. I specifically am writing this review to highlight though the excellent service. Today one of the baristas (I believe his name was Saul??) generously and pleasantly explained the different beans when he noticed I was checking some of the bags and he spent the time to explain to be the different beans, the variations in roasting process that differentiate some of them, his favorites, and went as far to provide me a fresh hot sample of some that we were discussing. At the end of it I left with just the latte I came in for(which was exceptional as always), but I also left with greater appreciation for the coffee I was enjoying and a good idea of what I can look for and enjoy in my coffee.“

“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.“

“Delicious food and amazing view“

“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 🙏“

“Newish local place. Big selection of craft brews“

“Highly recommended, this is a very good restaurant“

“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.“

“Good is always good and staff is always courteous“

“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.“

“We stopped by Mercado for dinner last night, and I had to share how excellent David T.’s service was. He made the experience truly enjoyable and stayed on top of everything we needed—very kind and accommodating.

The food and drinks were delicious. The mixologist is spot on, and the chef clearly knows how to deliver great flavor.

A great place to stop by for lunch or dinner.“

“El Tarasco is in Manhattan Beach. There are a few of them, but this is the first one and the best. It is a little place with mostly counter seating. You can eat there, get it to go or have delivery.

The place is old, but well maintained and really cute. They make you feel at home there. The service is great. They are fast and your meal is served hot and perfect.

It has the best Mexican food in Manhattan beach. Parking can be a bear, but you will fine a spot on the street. You may need to walk uphill a bit. It is right next to the Manhattan Beach Pier and there are great places to walk.

The food is amazing. We love all of it, but their enchiladas with rice and beans are the best and they make a great burrito. They also have super guacamole and their beverage selection is great. They do not have a full bar.

We love this place.“

“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.“

“Tried the new ice cream flavor! It has a subtle hint of jasmine tea with a perfect overall balance, and it's not overly sweet, which I loved. Got it in a waffle cone for a change, and it was so thick, crispy, and satisfyingly crunchy. 🍦“

“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 😃“

“Nice place and people. Good food.“

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

“The Local Yoke is definitely worth checking out. The food was really good, and the service stood out as especially attentive and friendly. What really impressed me is how much you get for your money—portions are generous, which is a big plus for this area. Overall, a solid spot with great value. I’ll be back.“

“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.“

“There was a lot of really great options for ice cream, including the make your own ice cream sandwich. I would highly recommend that if you do go with the sandwich that you have them make it fresh and not grab one from the case. It’s really close to the pier so you can grab one and head down to the pier for sunset or just hang out in the same area and enjoy the ice cream and people watch.“

“Fabulous place to eat, absolutely love it.“

“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.“

“Super service and good is great!“

“Dear Fresh Brothers Manhattan Beach Team,

I am writing to share my appreciation for your exceptional service. As a vegan, it can be difficult to find delicious options, but I have visited your location six times in the past two months and have had a wonderful experience every time.

During my most recent visit, I ordered a Detroit-style pizza not realizing the dough contained dairy. Aimee kindly called me to explain and helped me switch my order to a medium deep dish with vegan cheese, vegan pepperoni, and vegan sausage. I truly appreciated her reaching out to ensure my meal met my dietary needs.

I work in the same parking lot and have officially become a regular. I look forward to the day this location carries vegan Gardein wings and vegan ranch!

Thank you for the great service, and I will see you next week.

~Coco“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Awesome coffee with very pleasant employees.“

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

“This is my favorite pizza place in the South Bay. It’s my guilty pleasure place when I don’t feel like cooking. I usually get the supreme. The cheese is good quality and they make the pie fast. I get the personal size. I’ve also had their hot sandwich’s which are just as good. Bit pricy but the quality is worth it. For context I’ve lived in NY, NJ, Chicago. This place is my go to here.“

“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.“
