50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Sherman Oaks

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

“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“

“I’ve been to Bacari a bunch of times, but brought a friend yesterday for her first visit and it was easily our best experience yet. Our server Sara was awesome—super attentive, a great listener, and just made the whole night special.
The food was totally on point. The crispy schnitzel and the shawarma tacos (perfect meat-to-slaw ratio) were highlights, and the Asian pear pizza 😋 was amazing. The only tiny thing was the pistachio sfoglia was a little bit overdressed with the sweet cream, but still good.
My friend loved her cocktails, and as a mocktail drinker, kudos to the bartender. The mocktail dirty martini (Salt n Solace) was PERFECT. The Botanica was good too, just a bit too sweet for me (next time I'll just ask to swap the tonic for club soda).
Bacari is always a great spot to hang out, but yesterday was exceptional. Thank you Sara for taking such good care of us!“

“Our favorite neighborhood place for delicious organic coffee and tea. Love the owner and her staff. Highly recommend“

“First of all, I’m a very picky eater, and I rarely finish a meal unless I’ve made it myself or it’s prepared exactly to my liking.

I went to Bill’s, ordered a cheeseburger, and waited about ten minutes. For the first time I can remember, I finished an entire burger without asking for a single customization—and wow!

It tasted like a family reunion, a day at the beach, and those after-school burgers with your buddies, all wrapped into one delicious cheeseburger. Every bite brought back a little nostalgia.

I’m definitely bringing my kids.“

“best pastas ever!!! And the tiramisu was fabulous“

“Two of us went for dinner on a Thursday night at around 7:30. It was busier inside than outside but we sat outside and it was really nice and easy to hear each other talk.
Our waitress was very, very nice, extremely helpful and had such a great attitude. In fact, the friend that I went with had lost his home in the Palisades fire so he went to the restaurant the day after and one of the waitresses said that he smelled kind of like soot. He explained how he lost his house the day before. They said to him to sit down, relax and order whatever he wanted and drink whatever he wanted and it was on them. How nice is that? That's how the people are there.
The food was really good. We shared a chicken salad and the blue Burger which came with fries. They were both really tasty and good.
We each had a cocktail and they pour their drinks in big glasses which is nice.
I would not hesitate to go back if I were looking for a casual, no-nonsense restaurant with even better service.“

“Today I stopped by In-N-Out Burger in Sherman Oaks, and it reminded me why this place remains one of California’s most beloved burger chains. Despite the steady line of customers, everything moved quickly and efficiently. The staff was energetic, friendly, and seemed genuinely happy to help.

I ordered my usual meal, found a seat, and within a few minutes I was enjoying a fresh burger made to order. The vegetables tasted crisp, the burger was hot and juicy, and the ingredients felt noticeably fresher than what you’ll find at most fast-food restaurants. The fries came out hot and fresh as well, exactly how they should be.

What I appreciate about In-N-Out is that they don’t try to be something they’re not. The menu is simple, the food is consistent, and they focus on doing a few things exceptionally well. In a world where many restaurants constantly chase trends, there’s something refreshing about a place that sticks to its formula and continues to deliver.

The Sherman Oaks location was clean, well-managed, and busy for a reason. You can tell that people keep coming back because they know exactly what they’re going to get: fresh food, friendly service, and good value.

There are plenty of burger places in Los Angeles, but every now and then a visit to In-N-Out reminds me why it has earned such a loyal following. A simple meal done right is sometimes better than anything complicated.“

“I recently moved to Sherman Oaks from NY and this is the best authentic pizzeria around, all the others that mention NY in their titles are Fugazy’s. Not an overwhelming menu which translates to fresh food being made on a daily basis. The sauce is outstanding and the crisp is perfect. Great owner as well..“

“Absolutely delicious Portuguese food!“

“I really love this place! Cocktails menu is amazing, the Lychee Mojito 10/10, always a must for me.
Place was packed, of course it was a Friday night and the Lakers were playing, I recommend making s reservation.
Despite how busy the place was, out server David took care of us, great service and delicious food!“

“Hands down they are the THE BEST!! We hosted a teacher appreciation event for a local school & the ice cream truck was a HUGE hit! So impressed with the customer service and we love supporting small business like them! Thank you!“

“Hank’s Bagels is easily one of the best breakfast spots, and not just for the convenience. The bagels are fresh, perfectly chewy, and taste like they’re made with real care. Whether you’re grabbing a classic bagel with cream cheese or a loaded breakfast sandwich, you really can’t go wrong here.“

“I love Avocado Toast ❤️ I’ll be back“

“very good.. and it's right next to Joe's Pizza 😋“

“I was first introduced to Nashville-style hot chicken at Hattie B's in Nashville. Although I've never found anything quite like it here in Los Angeles (Hattie B's chicken serves bone-in whole pieces, marinated through), I'm addicted to Dave's, and love the Extra Hot! (I'll stay away from Reaper...I don't need to try something that requires a signed waiver!)

My go-to is the #4, and their fries are great too. The extra pickles they include are a really nice touch, and the sauce is a the perfect alternate to ketchup, and really goes with the chicken.

The staff is always friendly and helpful, and I can order at the counter, at a touch-screen kiosk, or on my app. The app has kind of become the easiest option for me now that I've gotten the hang of reordering my usual. I try to limit my fried, fast-food meals, but Dave's is usually my first thought when I'm in the mood to indulge in that kind of treat. If you like spice, it's a must-try!“

“Had three different tacos Brisket was awesome Other two very good But brisket!!!“

“Always been a fan of this place since months ago, and today I just tried their matcha and It’s absolutely delicious!! Also huge shoutout to Kate for making my day for being very generous and helpful! Will definitely recommend and return indefinitely <3“

“wow Fresh Good TastyFood great area..Definitely worth it.....“

“This eatery is a quaint jewel among others. The staff greets you with a warm and welcoming smile, and they are kind, caring and attentive. The food is delicious and tastefully presented and we keep returning to enjoy another meal.“

“🐶 I am always going with my owner Ben and regardless of how busy it is, the staff always take a second to show me some love and I get free snacks! #woofwoof“

“very chill place and lots of fun“

“There were 4 of us dining in for a late lunch/ early dinner. It's a very comfortable place with a great menu and awesome desserts. The owner works there and the staff is awesome and friendly. If you want to adjust your selection a bit they are happy to help in any way possible! The portions are good size to share. We love going there and the staff makes it cozy and welcoming. Thank you Antonio's for taking such good care of us and making our visit a wonderful experience. We look forward to our next visit soon!“

“Deliciously healthy salads and smoothies that now come with zero waste options too!“

“This is our go-to sushi restaurant. The food never disappoints. The service is very friendly.“

“My favorite vegan place in the entire valley. I have gone to Vestation 3 times in the last 3 weeks. Their food is consistent. Good service. Good portion size. The Best salads in Sherman Oaks and good thai food too. Need a oil free dressing. Green Curry is one of my two in Los Angeles. Updated from previous review on 2024-05-13“

“First time here. An interesting menu, I ordered a goncho burger with fries - the portion wasnt big but the taste was there - homemade potato went well with their inhouse sauce and the burger had a good flavor of a sweet caramelized onions and melted cheddar. Very clean inside and very friendly service. Highly recommended to try at least once“

“Mochinut consists of a wide array of unique flavors and shapes of donuts. Every time I go, I always get surprised by a flavor I haven’t noticed before. The donuts are soft and flavorful, the corn dog is crispy on the outside and the cheesy is stretchy, and the boba is perfectly sweetened.“

“First time here. I love the french toast 😋 and coffee ☕️“

“We had wonderful food and service. I had the gnocchi with meat sauce. Absolutely delicious.“

“Kosher RCC ..Food is great. You have 8 table's to seat outside. Service is fast. I hope that they will have air conditioning close area to eat out but it is ok as is. In the winter it would be a problem or in raining day. Go there and test the burekas..it is great..all of the flavors.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Burger Lounge and I have to start by giving a shout-out to Miguel!

The moment my buddy and I walked in, Miguel greeted us and made us feel welcome. He was courteous, professional, attentive and just had that kind of attitude that makes you feel like your business is genuinely appreciated. He also brought our food out to us and made sure we were taken care of.

I ordered the Lounge Burger with Tallow Fries and a drink while my buddy ordered the Classic Burger in a lettuce wrap. I'll admit, Burger Lounge is a little on the pricey side but once I tasted the food, I understood why. The grass-fed beef was absolutely delicious. You can genuinely taste the difference. My burger was fresh, juicy, flavorful and cooked perfectly. Nothing overly complicated just quality ingredients prepared really well.

And those Tallow Fries... oh boy. 😂 They were incredible! Fresh, crispy, flavorful and easily some of the best fries I've had in a while. Sometimes simple food done exceptionally well is exactly what hits the spot, and that's what this meal was.

Between the quality of the food and Miguel's excellent service, this was a great experience from beginning to end. Yes, you'll spend a little more than you would at a typical burger place but you're also getting noticeably better quality. Fresh ingredients, grass-fed beef, amazing fries and genuinely great customer service. I'll definitely be coming back.

And Miguel, thank you for taking such good care of us!“

“.  We usually have a very good experience however there was something off this last time. It was towards the end of the evening and they were only a few people left at the restaurant, we had to ask the waitress for our bread four times which was unusual. Otherwise, we appreciated the quiet atmosphere, the very nice wine and high  quality, wine glasses and the good food. We were a little bit disappointed because at the end of the evening we noted we smelled cigarette smoke coming from the back of the restaurant we felt was quite unprofessional. This is the only time we have been at the restaurant. The owner wasn't there and our perception was that there was a step down in discipline among the staff that day“

“I’ve known the owner and employees at FruttoMania for what feels like years. They were truly paved into my morning tradition. They are situated on a block where community is everything, and they are a large reason why that is so. Every morning my dog would start our walk at the same time they would open up for business. He’d wag his tail in excitement of seeing Tata and Caribel open up the shop and prepare him some slices of cucumber.

You might think, cucumber? He used to get dog treats from Tata that she personally went out of her way to improve for my dog. Not her fault he wound up with pancreatitis but even when he couldn’t have the treats she got for him she found a way to spoil him and he loved her for it. He never missed a day, and his love for that shop was endless and even tho he came for cucumbers he stayed for them.

It wasn’t just for my dog though, they took incredible care of me as well. They invested their time they had getting to know me, we’d come in for my dog who needed 3 minutes and spend half an hour talking as they got ready to welcome customers.

Not to even mention the drinks are fire! 🔥 all the ingredients are super fresh and you will not find a stronger ginger juice for your wellness shots anywhere else. FruttoMania has great prices, quality of food, and personal experience. I will miss seeing them everyday and our lives will not be the same without them. Make them part of your morning, I will be envious of every customer who reads this and pays them a visit.“

“Highly recommend. Hole in the wall, TINY, restaurant, but food was fresh and delicious! They have seating available but most of their business is take out. From the time we got there, til the time we ate and left, there were people in line picking up their orders.“

“Always great food, fresh and delicious!“

“I'm so excited you all are reopening This Wednesday! I have so many fun and fond memories of great afternoons into nights at the Barrel. Karaoke with the locals is always fun. congratulations see you all soon“

Rating it a full 10/10 which I never do… highly recommend if you never tried it before.“

“I absolutely loved Ideology Coffee. Everything was great: the coffee and pastries, the atmosphere and people. I would highly recommend it to all coffee lovers!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Always a fun time with my family whenever we go to Kura.“

“Had steak and lobster with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Everything was delicious. Mel was our server and did a great job. It was my birthday and my grandson told the server. Next thing I know and Mel brought a dish with ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate syrup and strawberries with a candle in it. Great restaurant! Really enjoyed our time there!“
