50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Derby

“The chicken with a side bogo is an undeniable banger! Mac n cheese is so good and don't forget the banana pudding 😋“

“Absolutely phenomenal shop! Not sure what to rave about first: the food, the taste, the owners… All outstanding. I made a trip over an hour long to come for their pumpkin French toast bagel. It didn’t live up to the hype in my head; it far exceeded it! And toasted paired with maple brown sugar cream cheese was an out of body experience. Meeting the owners, even briefly, they are fantastic people who are extremely personable, thoughtful, and dedicated beyond belief. The shop is super cute inside and with place to sit and enjoy. Absolutely will be a regular stop from now on, whether on or out of the way.“

“CHANGE YOUR PACKAGING

Your beer is good, damn good. Y'know what isn't good? The can it comes in. I was asked by an employee if what I was buying was even beer because the stuff you wrap around your cans is seriously unappealing. I can't imagine it's cheap either. 99% of stickers look better than the wrap on your cans, really, just a sticker would be better.

The meat of this: a fully colored can doesn't make people think beer, it makes people think soda or hard seltzer, case and point the liquor store clerk who literally didn't know if it was beer when I checked out because the packaging is so weird. If the can gets even slightly bent in your hands, like even just a little spring from picking it up, you get this icky feeling of crunching plastic due to the wrap on the can. I'm sure a simple sticker would be cheaper than this considering brewers large and small use those instead. This packaging is terrible. This packaging is literally good for nothing, it lacks shelf appeal, it feels awful, and there's no way it's cheaper than a simple sticker. Even if you kept the same all-black design, it'd still be more recognizable as beer with a sticker instead allowing more of the metal to show near the top and bottom. This packaging is bad and beyond that I can't imagine it isn't an unnecessary expense considering how both large and small breweries label their beer. If you want something more fancy then invest in printing directly onto the cans like bigger breweries (or smaller ones with more successful beers), or if want something less expensive that actually looks and feels decent then switch to stickers, this plastic wrap looks pathetic and feels worse so right now you're kinda picking the worst of both worlds paying more for a worse product.

Why 5 stars? Great beer, I like supporting nearby businesses, and all things considered a gripe about labeling/packaging is minor especially in this case. Don't let it stop you from getting their beer or visiting this brewery, instead buy the beer and visit the brewery but also leave a backhanded 5 star review about how their packaging blows“

“First visit, certenally not our last. Friendly staff, excellent ribs. A pleasure to visit a restaurant that makes you feel that they are happy to see you.“

“Love me some Run Wild!!! You made living alcohol free so easy and enjoyable!!! Cannot tell the difference, WOW! Oh, and I can get it at my local grocery store! Love it!😋🍻“

“We went to Micro Creamery this weekend and it was delightful! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the ice cream. Good customer service is hard to find these days! The ice cream was delicious! They had several flavors to choose from. It was hard to decide on just one. The atmosphere is modern and cute! You can take a selfie pic with family and friends by the Ice Ice Baby back drop. Def recommend! We will be back! 😊“

“Razzmanian Devil on a waffle cone is the best!!! And now they accept cards!“

“Delicious ice cream in a beautiful setting.“

“this place is amazing! best chicken parm ! I brought my mom there whos full Italian and is very picky with Italian food. she's never satisfied. She said it was the best food she's ever had. They were very accommodating to her as she can't walk far and opened up the side door so she could easily get to her table. highly recommend this place!“

“Co-workers and I placed an order and they provided EXCELLENT customer service!!!!! Their root beer floats were 😋😋“

“Amazing beer! Wonderful staff! Lots of fun events and great food trucks! Did I mention amazing beer?“

“Awesome! Cool peeps. Local craft.“

“The sushi is very fresh, the staff and sushi chefs are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place, this was my 5th time here.“

“been here about 10 times and ALWAYS delicious! deff need to go if you havent and I recommend the 8th ramen with the sliced beef. have to try their boba tea as well if you ever had vivi tea hokkaido does it better!“

“Friendly staff that goes above and beyond to serve you well“

“Finally stopped in and wish we stopped in earlier. the Italian ice left me speechless and my oldest is making a list of flavors to try. service was amazing that I felt like a regular. can't wait to come back“

“Love the relaxing atmosphere! We were able to enjoy a couple of Trivia Nights which were incredibly fun. The neighbors complaints put a stop to those 🤬🙄 The coffee is amazing! I cannot recommend their food because of the teeny tiny portions. I had a pricy salad that equaled to about two cups of greens & at most a 1/3 of a portobello mushroom cap. I went home & ate since I was starving! Note: I had the salad sans goat cheese. An increased amount of the other two ingredients would have been appreciated!“

“We’ve been going here for about 4 years and are never disappointed. My husband and I love their Spanish options (best huevos rancheros I’ve been able to find outside of New York), but they also have eggs, pancakes, and other “classic” items. And this is just their breakfast menu! Their lunch items are just as delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly, service is fast even on a busy day, we LOVE all of the sauces on every table, it’s always clean, and they add new dishes pretty often to keep their menu fresh. Can’t say enough good things about them!“

“Tried Pizzaro’s Pizzeria for the first time. My wife and I shared a large antipasta salad and a large cheese pizza with garlic, half pepperoni and half broccoli. Everything was great. While this is more a takeout place they have large booths and the service was excellent. The salad was awesome and so large we took 1/4 of it home. The pizza was excellent. Thin crust with a delicious sauce. I’m not a fan of the outer crust but this was so good I ate everything. I highly recommend their pizza. We have to go back and try their subs and meals as I witnessed many people getting these and pizza for takeout. I give it five stars. We will be back.“

“The Thai Salad is my favorite!!“

“Great spot in Milford for wide range of milk teas and fruit teas!“

“Overall good and we will be back, probably not on Sat. or at least at a different time. Place was mobbed and without OpenTable would not have had a chance. Got last table for two, unfortunately where the doorway made it cool. And really noisy. Took 45 minutes for entrees. But all that said, both our meals were tops and I can see why it gets high ratings and is an Oxford favorite. First timers but not the last.“

“Visited from Long Island Love the vanilla crunchies“

“My husband and I were there in July 2025. The waitress we had was so very pleasant,her name is Aly. She is absolutely a keeper. We loved her greetings and her attitude. She's a great people person. The food was absolutely delicious and filling. Thank you!!“

“Great breakfast and coffee“

“Great local Coffee and Ice Cream. Plaskos is a small family run operation that is very good to have in our town! Support the little guys!“

“Went here yesterday on Mother’s Day because everywhere else was packed. Steak and cheese was great and Omg I’m obsessed with those Mac and Cheese bites! Also got a free milkshake for Mother’s Day, thank you!“

“Had my smoothie made by Amanda and it was delicious! She blended the smoothie so smooth it was like silk. I even bought the avocado toast and it was very fresh. Such a great light snack to fill you up between meals. Check out Robeks in Milford and ask for Amanda! She is great!“

“The food is excellent, especially for the prices. The ability to order online is also super convenient, as it's probably about a 15 minute drive from my office and by the time I get there, my food is always ready for me to pick up and go. People behind the counter are very friendly and nice, I literally recommend this place to my friends and coworkers all the time, I'm here probably every other day.

If you ever see the Southern Pride chicken sandwich come up in their weekly specials, I cannot recommend it enough!“

“Went last night for the first time to celebrate my birthday with my granddaughter. The food was great and we were treated to the best waiter and manager. The service was the best that i have had in a long time and made us feel so special. The veal dish I had was wonderful, Large portion for the price and my granddaughter had the chicken parm and she couldn't finish her dish. I will definitely go again and tell my friends about this gem of a restaurant“

“I love this restaurant and cafe. The food is delicious, and also has specials -- all of which are inviting. And the owner and staff are wonderful. I highly recommend them!“

“Pizza is really good. Sausage pie so tasty and delicious wings, some of the best!“

“I recommend going to the bagel Bros & Co. for any bagel, specialty breakfast sandwich, pastry, good coffee and great people to start off your day. Everyone is so pleasant and take pride in their work to make your breakfast a one of a kind! Very special please up and coming, very popular with us locals and I don’t regret ever going there! Honestly my favorite place 👍🏻“

“So after running around town looking for a club or a bar to hang at for my out of town family we found this place. It was a cool chill mature crowd. Dj was good I didn't get to try the food that's why the low stars but I hear the food is good. Plenty of space to hang and drink and also dance.“

“Tried the Mango Rush bubble tea with coconut milk today and it was absolutely amazing! The mango purée was rich, sweet, and full of flavor — super refreshing, especially in this hot weather. One sip and it just took my heart! ❤️ Perfect summer drink that instantly lifted my mood. Highly recommend!“

“Well I never been inside but the bacon and egg sandwich with home fries went down didn't they“

“Bubbleholic is a fantastic boba store that stands out for its creative and refreshing drink options. Their Matcha is a true highlight—smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced, offering a rich, earthy flavor that matcha lovers crave. It's paired beautifully with their chewy, perfectly cooked boba, adding an extra layer of texture to the drink. But the real surprise is their Lemon Sparkling drink—a zesty, bubbly concoction that combines the tartness of fresh lemon with a fizzy, effervescent base, making it incredibly refreshing. Whether you're in the mood for something creamy or light and citrusy, Bubbleholic delivers both, creating an irresistible experience that keeps customers coming back for more.“

“Service was amazing. Food was absolutely delicious.“

“Came here on a quiet weeknight and was amazed by the authentic Italian cuisine. Started off with a wonderful Burrata then I had the Rigatoni Bolgenese with was really good. We also bought a loaf of the Italian Bread to bring home. That bread with some Cabot butter and you are on to something!! Would visit again.“
