50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants San Luis Obispo

“Delicious! Amazing service! Vibes unmatched. We got 4 different sandwiches and we all loved them. 10 out of 10 ⭐ "High"Ly recommend😁🥪💨💨💨“

“Everyone always talks about Firestone and Old SLO, but CJ's is by far the BEST bbq slo has to offer!! We got the baby back ribs, fried catfish, potato skins, and onion rings. All were a solid 11/10. The ribs melted off the bone and the catfish was seasoned so well. Onion rings were the best ones I've had in a long time. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving BBQ.“

“Beautiful ambiance. The guitar player’s music hit just the right balance of soul/jazz. The dishes were fantastic and the portions substantial.“

“Checked out Field Day Coffee with a friend today. Space was utilized well as a coffee shop. Open and airy throughout the inside portion of the coffee shop. Ample outdoor seat which was a bonus, and just as the sun came out on our visit. Coffee was delicious and made to order correctly on the first time. I shared a Brown Butter cookie with my friend and it was Delicious. Pricing is fare and coffee tasted much better than other big brand coffee chains. Definitely recommend field day coffee if your visiting SLO. 👍“

“Amazing service, fantastic food. Highly recommend starting the meal with a Pisco Sour (even the virgin ones are great) and a skewer of grilled pork in addition to anything thing else you think might be enjoyed by your table. All the main dishes are soo good, so go with what sounds good yo you or one of the specials. And consider at minimum sharing the sweet potato flan (which comes with a scoop of ice cream too. You cannot help but enjoy the meal, and service provided by the owners is a simply top notch. A full meal like above with cost a little more than maybe some other restaurant but the food is of a significantly higher standard and deliousness (is that a word?) compared yo most restaurants in the county. A treat just waiting for you discover and enjoy.“

“This place is a local favorite! The photos are of the oreo bing soo shaved ice. It was absolutely amazing, not too sweet, but just enough. Love it, and I can't wait to try more. My kid loves to order the Taiyaki with chocolate... yuuuummmmm. I've tried the iced matcha latte, and it did not disappoint. I needed a pick me up one day and tried the Dalgona Iced coffee - perfectly made, the pick me up I needed.“

“Sam and Mariah are such exemplary and loving community members that their bread is as good as it is. And Mariah just started making the best scones on top of all the love and work she pours into bread all morning!! Her and Sam work as crazy hard as they do because they love it and we love you bread bike!!“

“Amazing food and ambience“

“First time in SLO and tried several wineries and I have to say this one was by far my favorite! From the wine itself to the hospitality, everything was top notch. Tara was an absolute delight and really took the time to go through the wine making process with us. I can’t recommend visiting this adorable winery enough!“

“Delicious! Amazing service! Vibes unmatched. We got 4 different sandwiches and we all loved them. 10 out of 10 ⭐ "High"Ly recommend😁🥪💨💨💨“

“So much fun here, always love bringing the kids and exploring the flowers. Also love stopping over after to Gopher Glen for apple tastings. So good!!“

“We love Ziggy’s!! GREAT delicious plant-based comfort food and warm, fast, friendly service! I love the spicy Buffalo Chicken sandwich, the Avalon burger with arugula and Gouda, the Black Bean Taquitos, and the Avocado Tacos. Ziggy’s is absolutely awesome! Live long and prosper, Ziggy’s!“

“Excellent flavors Excellent service We will definitely be back“

“We love Scout Coffee. Always excellent. We normally order cappuccinos, but we tried their Vanilla Bean Lattes this morning with a pistachio shortbread cookie that we shared. They make their own syrups. It was delicious. Our favorite is still their cappuccinos, because you get the true robust coffee flavor. This coffee shop is a hub for morning people—great atmosphere—one of a kind ambiance.“

“The custom cake I ordered was soo good. I got a 6 inch lemon cake with vanilla buttercream frosting and raspberry mousse. The 6 inch may seem small, but it was enough for 5 people and we had leftover cake afterwards that we ate the next day.

I wanted to put some nautical decor on that I made myself since we were eating it on a boat, and they were able to make the outside smooth & plain for me. I’m not sure that I did a great job with decor, lolll..I would probably ask them to do the decor themselves next time.

The lemon with the raspberry mousse was so good though. I might try a cream cheese frosting if I ever go back since I’m in LA, but the buttercream wasn’t too sweet.“

“It all starts with sourcing the ingredients. This place does it better than any other. So fresh so and unique. Pair that with hand stretched dough and homemade sauce and you have the best pizza on the Central Coast. I’ve also been really impressed with their wine selection. They have some local favorites and some really awesome bottles you may not have heard of.“

“Fun family owned winery. Great wine, great people and good location. They do a buttery Chardonnay, a killer petite sirah (inky) and a unique varietal called Teroldego. Buy it if you can get it. The do fun events and Friday Sunset in the Vineyards during the summer with music and food trucks“

“Absolutely LOVE coming to Chamisal. Their wine is the best in Slo in my opinion, and they're all organic and sustainability focused which is so cool! Love how their staff welcome you and share the most interesting tid-bits about the wine and vineyard as you taste, they teach you about which grapes are grown where, how they collect rainwater on site and how their soil affects the flavor of the grapes. With each tasting you learn about how the wine is aged and in which barrels- but most importantly, the wine is flavorful and elegant and their tasting room has such a beautiful view and sophisticated ambiance. Julie, Mia, Tim, Jacob, and everyone I've encountered at their slo venue has been so kind and welcoming. I highly recommend stopping by for a tasting flight, you won't regret it!“

“There Does Not Exist is an absolute labor of love for craft beer fans to enjoy on the Central Coast. I've tried many beers made in SLO county over the years, but since trying TDNE for the 1st time in 2020, they take the cake when it comes to the best varietal beers top to bottom.“

“Pretty good stuff from what I saw. I was there visiting a friend.“

“Sequel doesn't disappoint with quality and service!
I've visited many boba places across the Central Coast, and there's none quite like this!
Sequel is one I keep coming back to, especially if I'm in SLO.
There's lots of combinations for different tastes, whether you like green matchas or extra sweet jasmines! 🧋 It's definitely worth a visit!“

“I love Petra’s! We found this place at the beginning of Covid and have been going ever since. Last week driving from northern to southern CA we stopped for lunch(of course). I got distracted and left my purse…didn’t notice until Santa Maria. Called, of course they had my purse…AMAZING CREW AMAZING FOOD! Thank you“

“Amazing Gluten free options as well as great burgers!“

“Great server, great food and atmosphere!“

“We were here for the first time, and it won't be the last! Great food & beers & service!“

“Lovely place to visit if you are in the area.
They have very nice ambience with outdoor sitting on deck, surrounded by flowers. The staff is very curtious and helpful.
We went for wine tasting combined with lunch and picked the place due to multiple food options and it did not disappoint.
Wine flight had great selection from Paso robles area wines and the panini and flatbread were just a perfect pair.“

“Such a great way to taste wines from all over our area. 2-ounce tastes are great. I enjoyed a couple of whites, then a flight of reds from DRNK for $25. Best tasting variety.“

“I had the hot pastrami sooo good 👍“

“Dining al fresco for lunch @ Mistura is a real treat, especially when amigos who moved from SLO to Marin are back in town! Every course was scrumptious, and our friend Gaby loved catching up on life with all of her friends on Mama's waitstaff! :)“

“Great beer, friendly staff (ask for the brewery tour😉)“

“Sidecar is a must here in San Luis Obispo! The staff and the owners and everything about the place will knock your socks off. I think it’s high time. You guys open a second Sidecar by me in So Cal!“

“Brought home a piece of gluten-free carrot cake today for my husband. He hasn’t had carrot cake for years because of the GF issue. It was absolutely amazing. Best carrot cake he has ever had. A very much enjoyed surprise. Thank you.“

“Wonderful, warm and very welcoming winery.Susan took good care of our group. With just the right amount of information on the wines we tasted. And some very yummy wines. The outside area is nice and shaded, and you are in amongst the vines. This was a excellent place for our group of 6, and you can bring in food. Plus is it less than 10 minutes from the airport.
Thank you again for a prefect afternoon.“

“The meat is deliciously superb! The brisket is incredibly moist and explodes with flavor! Super happy with our choice to come here.“

“The place is a gem in downtown San Luis Obispo. Great food. Amazing service and phenomenal cuisine. I suggest the Escargot as a starter and the rest of the food options will not disappoint the lover of the fine dining experience. Highly recommend.“

“We had the bacon wrapped dates, Brussel sprouts and coconut shrimp tacos with key lime pie for dessert. Perfect amount shared by two. Every bite was delicious! Very creative drink menu, non alcoholic. Lovely outdoor seating and dog friendly.“

“Great food and good vibes“

“Delicious food and a most excellent Bloody Mary.“

“Great little find in slo. Was bummed that they didn't get their fish order when I was there. Was very much looking forward to the red snapper ceviche. They did, however, have some delicious prawns. I had one of the best Chile rellenos stuffed with cheese and large prawns. Shredded beef tacos are highly recommended. The Baja fish tacos are flavorful and large. And our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Will be back again“

“a great venue for all ages, families and dogs. Staff and service is great.“

“Great night at Saints Barrel for a college/fraternity reunion! Beautiful place, great food and drinks — the champagne was amazing! Can’t wait to come back! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Had a really great homemade breakfast! Scones are insane! And the coffee is amazing!“

“a great venue for all ages, families and dogs. Staff and service is great.“

“Awful service!!! We needed a table for 2 and was told 5 minutes so we put our name on the list. Another server came to the next couple in line. Asked how many and the server took them straight to a table. At one point there were no servers on the floor for a solid 10 minutes. Nobody checked on us and we wanted another beer. I went to the bartender to order the beers, having to pay separately because they can't transfer the tab to the table. Not to mention that the bathrooms had ZERO toilet paper. None of the stalls. Not a good experience“

“The food was delicious and all ingredients were so fresh. Great value. I will definitely return.“

“Delicious Mac n cheese and very good tri-tip, loved the breezy seating and friendly staff!“

“Kayden was a terrific host. She was warm and kind and filled with info. The setting was gorgeous and with all the lavender, we felt we were in Provence! It was on the expensive side, but we have no regrets. The charcuterie came in a plastic container but it was absolutely delicious and was more than it first appeared. Thank you Tolosa and Kayden❤️❤️“

“Ive been here a couple times and every single time it is amazing! I love the energy and vibe of all the workers, the coffee AND food is great (lots of places make me feel like i have to pick good food OR good coffee, but not here!) i plan on coming back often!“

“I asked a very prominent Edna Valley grape farmer who the next up-and-coming wine maker in Edna Valley was, and he pointed me to El Lugar and their wine maker Coby Parker-Garcia. I dropped by their tasting room next to Ancient Owl and was absolutely blown away by the quality of their wines - the best tasting I’ve done on the Central Coast perhaps ever. They are very Pinot Noir heavy, which isn’t even one of my favorite varietals, but the artful skill of the winemaker shines through. I didn’t have a single wine I disliked, but their Pinot from Bien Naciedo stood out as an utterly flawless wine. How it doesn’t earn a 98–100 point score from wine critics is beyond me. That said, my personal favorite was their Pinot from Bassi Vineyard near Avila Beach. There was a very interesting cayenne note in there that made the wine really exciting and, lucky for me and my pocketbook, was one of the cheaper wines they sell. I don’t think you can go wrong here. The only error you can make is not coming paying this hidden gem a visit. I see a bright future for Coby and El Lugar.“

“I've been eating at Kona’s Deli since the 1990s, and it’s still one of my favorite sandwich spots in San Luis Obispo. The quality has always been consistent—fresh ingredients, generous portions, and unbeatable flavor. My go-to orders are the tuna with cheddar and the Pipeline—both are absolutely delicious. The bread is especially great, soft with just the right amount of chew. My only complaint is that I wish they had longer hours during the week—I can only make it in on weekends due to my work schedule. Still, always worth the wait. Kona’s is a true SLO staple.“
