50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants East Hartford

“Great food, great service, and reasonable prices. Well worth the 30+ min drive. Maximum stars.“

“My boyfriend & I recently visited WINGSPOT and we left thoroughly impressed. We ordered the Honey BBQ & Dry Rub wings with a side of Mexican Street Corn, and everything hit the spot: the wings were perfectly crispy with so much flavor. The Mexican Street Corn was delicious too, though it leaned a little heavy on the mayo for my personal taste.. I still enjoyed it thoroughly. Overall, a fantastic spot for wings done right, and we'll definitely be back!“

“Stopped by for coffee and quick bite with my 11 year old daughter. Food was delicious! Will definitely go back!“

“Gage had excellent customer service skills. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and attentive to detail. Everyone here is always friendly and helpful. And most importantly, the food is freaking delicious! I always order the salmon bowl and its enough for 2 people!“

“Cookies are always good here, albeit a little pricey. Unfortunately, they can't GIVE you a receipt...it has to be texted or emailed, which is rather inconvenient. But at least they didn't add a tip onto my credit card, like they did at the Crumbl Cookie location in New York City (Chelsea) yesterday! And I had to remind him that I paid for
a Chocolate Milk with my order, too, which he forgot.“

“In town from MD for training- this welcoming place was a great start to my time in CT! Thank you!“

“Good and customer service is very very good“

“Just went to this brewery yesterday and if I had enough time I would have stayed all day. The space is super cool and filled with nostalgia. The owner was super welcoming and knowledgeable and has a true passion for what he does. To top it all off, they are dog friendly and we were able to chill with our dogs while drinking delicious beer. Will definitely come back again!“

“This coffee shop is so much more than a place to grab a drink. It is like a community living room. Warm, creative, and welcoming in the most genuine way. There are art supplies to sit and create, free books to borrow, and games to play. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, connect, and stay awhile. The cold brew I had today was absolutely amazing…..smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. Even more meaningful was the experience with the owner. Her kindness, authenticity, and passion shine through in every detail of this space. You can feel how much heart has gone into building something that truly serves the community. I’m so grateful to my son and his girlfriend for encouraging us to stop in after a UConn game, what a gift that recommendation was. Places like this are rare, and they matter. If you love small businesses, creativity, connection, and spaces that bring people together, please show up and support this one. Bring a friend. Stay for a while. Make it part of your routine. Convenient to the XL Center, Yard Goats, downtown, and right off the highway. Closed Mondays, open all other days — plan your visit and don’t miss it. Support this local gem. Our community needs places like this. ☕️📚🖌️🥰“

“This was my first time trying their cuisine and I was not disappointed. I had the Parotta with curry chicken and it was so flavorful. The Parotta was soft, warm and the curry chicken had the right balance of spice and flavor, perfect combination of the too. The staff was also very friendly and helpful with selecting from the menu. I will definitely be back!!“

“Mexicali is nothing short of a culinary paradise for lovers of authentic Mexican cuisine. From the moment you walk through the door you can feel the love and passion that permeates this place. Everything about Mexicali exudes warmth, authenticity, and a sense of belonging that is often hard to find in the bustling restaurant scene. The Service at Mexicali is where this establishment truly shines. The staff here is a reflection of Roberto himself—caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each guest’s experience. What sets them apart is Roberto’s personal touch; he knows many of his patrons by name and works alongside his team in the kitchen, ensuring that everything runs seamlessly. His dedication is evident as he moves through the restaurant, greeting guests with a warm smile and a genuine desire to make sure everyone is thrilled with their meal. It’s incredibly heartwarming to witness a restaurateur so deeply engaged with his customers and staff. Now let’s talk about the food—an unforgettable culinary journey that defies all expectations. From the moment you dive into their menu, you know you’re in for a treat. The guacamole is a must-try; made fresh daily with the ripest avocados, zesty lime, and a hint of cilantro, it’s the perfect start to your meal. Pair it with their house-made tortilla chips, and you're already in paradise. Everything there is honestly so good you can’t go wrong with anything from their menu! They’re food is made with love and you can taste it!“

“Tenth Hole Tavern is the best spot for casual dining/takeout this side of Glastonbury. Their food is excellent and the staff really knows how to show the customers a good time. Kendall and Kelly are the nicest and are very accommodating. Not to mention the full bar, expansive beer selection, and wide variety on the menu. Some of my personal favorites include the chicken tenders (with their house made buffalo sauce), the buttermilk chicken sandwich, and the oven roasted turkey wrap. Don’t sleep on the brick oven pizza either. Tenth Hole Tavern has earned a special place in my heart❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The owner and their entire staff are amazing. What is even more special is the taste and crunch from the fresh pizza.“

“first time there, great selection of beer, great prices and fun atmosphere. Only thing I would suggest is put regular croutons on the Caesar salad and not the pretzel ends, they were very hard and seemed stale.“

“If I could write a book on how much I adore this farm, I would. But for the sake of readers I'll keep it short.

I stumbled upon Preli's Farm and Winery in my search for grape leaves for a batch of homemade dolmas. John the owner was very helpful and understanding, and thus began my loyalty.

Everything grown or made on the farm is a treat. From delicious heirloom tomatoes to giant fresh blackberries to the vast catalog of wines and ciders... I've never been disappointed.

It's clear that John, Jeanne, Bailey and the crew work their hardest to create such an impressive selection of products. I've made it my goal to visit a few times a month!

The farm itself is tranquil and inviting and the service is always top notch. Any time I've visited, I felt welcomed. Having their three-legged farm dog Daisy greet me upon arrival has brought me happiness every time!

So if you're on the search for a farm for all your needs including pick-your-own services, CSA shares, or wine tastings I suggest visiting this gem in Glastonbury.“

“Adama and Analia were two of the BEST workers I’ve ever seen in any customer service related businesses. They were extremely nice and super willing to converse with us. They did NOT treat us like customers, but friends. They wished me a happy early birthday. +2 points“

“The Donut Station has the best donuts and coffee, iced or hot, in town! (and the surrounding areas)The breakfast sandwiches are delicious, the staff are all super friendly, the service is quick and efficient and the shop is always clean. I give then a 10 out of 10! Well done Donut Station, well done!“
