50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Darien

“Food is delicious! Went for dinner best burger in town! Meatloaf yummmm“

“Wonderful dinner experience last evening. The food is delicious and although the place was packed, we never felt rushed to finish. Instead, we were thanked multiple times for visiting and the entire staff was warm and friendly. We will be back!“

“Look what I just found in my salad from Papa Joe’s - much #love as always!“

“Great food/ staff. Definitely a destination to dine“

“5 out of 5 hands down! The atmosphere is awesome, the staff are wonderful and the food... BOMB. The Katsu Chicken sandwich is my favorite! They also have ready to go cold salads, sandwiches, juices and small snacks which makes a quick stop easy, efficient and healthy!“

“Found myself in Darien for the first time! Neat was an incredible find. The barista at the register was so kind and had excellent customer service. I ordered their seasonal maple latte and it was perfect! It’s hard to find good quality espresso in CT with house made syrups so this was a gem. If you’re looking for specialty coffee Neat is the place! If you like diner coffee stay away 😂“

“The great food and service that they provide at the Darien Diner❗️“

“Memorable Happy Hour! My colleagues and I recently hosted a business happy hour at Scena, and we were blown away by the fantastic service, delicious food, and refreshing drinks. Cristian's attentive presence was commendable. He consistently checked in with us, making us feel valued and well taken care of. The bartender and the rest of the crew were incredibly friendly and accommodating, adding to the positive vibe of the evening. Scena rose to the occasion, delivering beyond our expectations for our group of 25-30 people. The tastefully decorated interior and cozy seating arrangements created a comfortable space for socializing and networking. Overall, our experience at Scena was phenomenal. The exceptional service, mouthwatering food, and delightful ambiance made it an unforgettable happy hour. We wholeheartedly recommend Scena for a memorable dining experience.“

“Friendly staff, plenty of seating later in the evening once dinner rush dies down. Like most Shack Shack locations, orders take a long time to prepare. My dine-in order with a cheeseburger, fries, and shake took nearly 20 minutes despite there being very few customers.“

“Amazing place that really takes care of their customers!“

“This is my new favorite caffe! The sandwiches are incredible, they have a great coffee and tea selection, they have pastries, AND they have gelato! Everything is so good, and the ambiance is amazing. The staff are all incredibly kind and attentive, too. I love this place, 5 stars for sure.“

“Our 1st time visiting and parking was a bit of a challenge but oh so worth it. We loved the vibe and energy of this area. There are indoor and outdoor seating options with many beverage and food selections. Great place for couples, date nights, or family, friends outings.“

“We both had the caesar salad and the flank steak sandwich, which was delicious. Thank you for supporting Westport-Weston Chamber of Commerce Restaurant Week. We will be back soon!“

“This place is incredible!! I love the atmosphere and the kindness everyone has shown there! Soo excited to get donuts this morning!!“

“LOVE the vibes here! We went as a group with our young kids and there was plenty of room for them to explore, the outdoor area was so nice and the live music was fantastic. The staff was so kind to our kids and made our experience 10/10! Highly recommend!!“

“Food and service (thanks Joseph!) were fantastic. Best Italian food we’ve had in the area. It is attached to a hotel so seems a little funny walking in but it’s a beautiful space and the view of the river is very nice. We will be back.“

“Loved this brewery!! Cute, clean space. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite empty. We have a CT beer passport book that brought us there. Parking lot was a good size and easily accessible. The staff was so sweet and attentive. Seating was open and they served you at the table. A handful of beers on tap with a mix of options. They have a full menu and my boyfriend and I had the tacos - chicken and pulled pork, which were both delicious! Great sized portions. We also loved their logo, super cute design. I would love to see their space busier on a Saturday afternoon! If you drive by, consider stopping by for some great vibes.“

“The food was absolutely delicious! We had Calamari, Veal Romano and Chicken Parm. All three dishes were some of the best Italian food I have ever had. The service was excellent. There was not one negative thing at our visit.“

“Best food truck in Connecticut! Delicious food and amazing workers. 10/10“

“I will always recommend the tater tots as they are perfectly seasoned and will never be soggy the way they package them. But my new obsession is the brownie sundae I want the recipe to the best brownie ever!“

“We were on a road trip, and looking for a place to stop with our dog. It was raining, so we were looking for somewhere indoors. We were also hoping to find somewhere with food (which can be tricky with a dog and indoors), open a bit early, and if possible, hoped to watch some EPL soccer games. It seemed like a long list of things we were hoping to find, and that we probably wouldn’t be able to find somewhere to meet it all… Then we found this place! Great atmosphere, dog friendly indoor and outdoor, food truck, opened early, AND had tvs with soccer on… couldn’t believe how lucky we were to find this! The drinks, food, and service were great. And to top it off, they had Athletic brewing on tap!“

“Best ice cream in the US“

“Best tres leche cake in the area!“

“Crumbl is probably one of the best places to go to when you feel like eating something sweet and sugary. I recommend getting you some cookies from there , the sweet tooth will get to you . But it’s all about the taste and appearance !“

“Dude was very nice. Welcoming of the kids. Enthusiastic about his tasty beer. Worth a stop.👍🏻“

“This is the best spot for lunch. i grew up in the restaurant business and it’s hard to find a place that has great food. This place is the best for lunch in Norwalk. Great size portions. Great flavors. Very friendly owners and staff.“

“My wife and I had dinner at The Farmers Table. Service was great, the food was absolutely delicious. We had a wonderful dining experience here.. highly recommend this restaurant will be back for more!!!“

“TODAY WE WENT TO CWISPY CHKN IN STAMFORD CT #foodlover #foodreview #review #ct #stamford #organic #chicken we ordered the sliders & chicken N waffles there were a few parking spaces in the front & the location is on a corner. My good friend Heaven recommended this restaurant #foodie #crunchy #foryou & my favorite item was the sliders #yummy #viral #shorts“

“Great healthy food very friendly great atmosphere authentic Japanese food the Roman chicken was amazing ❤️❤️❤️ recommend it big time“

“The best Italian food in Fairfield and Westchester County.

Italian-American hot food classics made from scratch every morning (like chicken scarpiello, eggplant parm, sausage & peppers, tons of vegetables) all bursting with real flavor and cooked with the finest ingredients and extra virgin olive oil.

The market itself feels old-school and designed with a great attention to detail… fresh mozzarella, imported meats and cheeses, pastas, desserts, cannolis, gelato are all here.

What makes it special is the people. Orlando, Jonathan, Oscar, and the whole crew run this place with heart and serious pride in their craft.

I’ve been coming bere 20 years. Their catering’s incredible too, it wins over rooms.“

“Amazingly good food! My husband and I were in Norwalk, CT for a wedding and the following day we were looking for a "brunch" place before heading back to Middletown, CT. Did a Google search and saw the reviews for Herb's Place. While it wasn't the sit down we were thinking of, I'm really glad we went. The food was SO good! We'll definitely go back if we're ever in that area again.“

“Great food 🥘 great service“

“Staff was incredible at a very crowded event, will definitely come back to try the foods.“

“Oggi was raved about by my brother for months! I was so excited to try it and it did not disappoint!
They make the Gelato in house, and they have so many amazing flavors, and exceptional traditional flavors!
I got one scoop of pistachio and one scoop of vanilla (which was before I realized I had missed an entire row of flavors 😢) but that will be my reason to go back!
I did try a few of their flavors including the biscoti/or maybe biscoff one; and it was SO good!!
The kids loved the gelato, and the tables are nifty!
The line gets long very quickly, but the service is fast enough to make it work it. Any wait for this Gelato is more than worth it. MUST TRY!!!
I will absolutely go back here when I am in Norwalk!“

“Fabulous place fabulous food fabulous staff fantastic time“

“Picked up dinner last night and it was absolutely delicious..everything was wonderful 🤩😋“

“No better place on a beautiful summer day than on the water at The Beer Garden. And we love playing here, great spot for music.“

“Stopped in for a strawberry banana smoothie, 5 stars! Great service, great friendly atmosphere, and workers very knowledgeable about the product! Will be returning!“

“My first Bubbly’s Bubble Tea. I was so excited! Got a slushy with cherry bobas. It was amazing!! So delicious and refreshing. I loved my slushy! I got a new favorite drink now and going back for more this weekend! Thank you Bubbly’s. You are a wonderful addition to Wall Street.“

“Food delicious.
However, there’s no menu which is a little confusing. You just walk in and there’s a counter and you just asked what they have and they make you a plate. The oxtail was straight deliciousness. Tender, flavorful. The plate served was a large portion.“

“This place is SO freaking good, I went two days in a row. The people are pretty nice, very quick serving too, they don't waste time! The quesabirria is to die for, along with the green sauce that comes with it! If I were to change one thing, It would be to make this place a real building and restaurant, because the truck is so overlooked! It is really a hidden gem“

“With out question, this is my favorite place to eat. My biggest issue is deciding between lunch or breakfast and then narrowing down which sandwich I want. I can taste the quality of the ingredients and each sandwich is a moment of joy for my mouth. The staff is amazing and the food is my all time favorite. People are figuring out just how amazing this place is, that means we wait some time while enjoying a relaxed atmosphere and one of the best views in Norwalk... Invariably it's worth waiting for.“

“Great pizza, wonderfully creative sandwiches (and killer meatballs!). Legendary jazz and blues legends on the walls and the best house music. Love it!!“

“Great location in a lively, redeveloped section of Stamford. We had an event with a fixed price menu and each course was amazingly good. Come hungry, because they give you a lot of food. Apps, salad, pasta and main courses were all wonderful. Great service and a great view of the harbor. Not sure if it is open to the public, but if it is, check it out.“

“you have to go there and order the fire 🔥 ball wrap... it's amazing 👏 😍 🙌“

“Very solid 4 star experience overall. I spent about $36 on food plus a $5 tip for a pickup order last night while staying at the hotel next door. The food came out quickly, which was a big plus.

I ordered the West Coast Burger, a Jack Russell hot dog, seasoned curly fries, mac and cheese bites, and a cookie. The burger was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. The Jack Russell hot dog was also very good, especially for only $6.

The rest of the order was a bit more mixed. I asked the cashier what the most popular items were and was told the seasoned curly fries for a side and mac and cheese bites. Unfortunately, neither lived up to the hype. The fries weren’t particularly seasoned and tasted pretty bland. The mac and cheese bites felt more like frozen appetizers than something made in house. For $10, six triangular mac and cheese bites felt underwhelming. To make it even stranger, they were served with ketchup instead of marinara sauce.

There were also a few small details that added up. My cookie was missing from the bag, the coleslaw came with the burger but no utensils were included, the napkins were smaller square cocktail napkins and some of the sides just didn’t match the quality of the burger.

That said, the burger alone is worth coming back for, the prices are reasonable, and the service was fast and convenient. Boss Burger is close to being a 5 star spot, but it’s missing some of the little details and consistency that would push it over the top.“

“The food was delicious, service was great too! Really good drinks 🍹“

“Amazing, filling tacos! ¡Muy sabroso!“

“I was craving a burrito. Not a chipotle burrito where they skimp on the ingredients, But a big voluptuous, tasty Burrito. Look no further. Despite the location being empty, it provided me the opportunity to witness manager and the staff who were training A new hire at the time provide exceptional service. Yeah, it’s just a chain restaurant, but the quality of the food and service was Exceptional. I Ordered the surf and turf burrito with white rice, black beans, guacamole, sour cream, and spicy salsa. I got this order to go in. The checkout process was straight Forward. The burrito with chips and queso as well as a large fountain drink came to about $27 with a 15% tip. Totally worth it. I had to double fist this thing because it was so big and delicious. I don’t live in Norwalk, but that was the closest location and most convenient at the time. Making it a meal- I added chips and spicy queso and a large soda. The chips were not stale and slightly salted, which vibed well with the queso. The Diablo queso wasn’t as spicy as advertised, but that’s OK. It served its purpose in between gigantic bites of the burrito. I was on my way home to Danbury and that Damn burrito was still warm after a 40 minute drive in traffic. Admittedly, The portion of meat, i.e. steak and shrimp could be a little more generous, but the overall quality and flavor of the combination I ordered was “peak.” I fully anticipate going back to this location to order the same thing.
Hopefully, the Qdoba executives of the world see this and acknowledge what a complementary review this is for this location and the staff that helped me there. Not trying to pull any favors, but a random acknowledgment of their promising success would be powerful. I will see you soon.“
