50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Gales Ferry

“Amazing food and great staff!!!!!“

“I got takeout so I can't much speak to service or atmosphere.
The place was clean.
The person who took my order and the person who checked me out where both polite and efficient.
My natural bridge without olives was an excellent choice and an excellent sandwich.
Packed with flavor this half flatbread sandwich really hit the spot with a creative combination of flavors on perfectly tasty flat bread.“

“We went apple picking at Holmberg today, and somewhere between the rows of trees, I was reminded what the American dream really is. It isn’t money, houses, or yachts. It’s watching your toddler hold up an apple and proudly call it a ball. It’s sharing a warm apple cider donut with sticky fingers and sugared smiles. It’s the crisp Fall breeze, the sound of families laughing, and friends pausing to say hi as they pass by. America lives in these simple moments: in orchards, in small towns, in the kind of community where people still look out for one another. That’s the real America: built on family, friendship, and the quiet promise that you’re never alone. Because when you strip everything else away, we all want the same thing , to see our children grow up safe, happy, and loved. And that’s something worth standing together for. 🍎❤️🇺🇸 Thank you Holmberg for reminding me today why I love America.“

“The food was very good! My husband and I shared the Lobster roll it wasn’t overly buttered , you can taste the lobster. The atmosphere eas nice and service was good.“

“The oyster club puts an aggressive focus on the ingredients themselves. Less fanfare, more flavor.

The warm nautical interior seats a number of groups comfortably as well as having a spacious bar top for singles and couples.

The bartenders are knowledgeable and the staff have that calm conspiratorial air befitting delicate opulence. I sat alone at the bar enjoying a quiet afternoon to myself and was handled by one of the two bartenders who talked me through the menu in casual conversation. All my food arrived in sequence thereafter without her so much as writing anything down.

I enjoyed a selection of local oysters, fresh and delicious. Followed by a course of seasonal vegetables, sliced tomatoes in oil with dollops of cream and braised radishes in a lemon butter sauce that paired decedantly with the fat slabs of homemade sourdough.

For my entree I did a catch of the day which was cooked to perfection.

Oyster club is not about elegant technique or fancy recipes, the menu is short and printed on paper as it is ever-changing.

I will have to come back to try their tree house experience overlooking the river.“

“After hearing from many friends that Jumbo Asian Bistro was so very good, we decided to try it. It did not disappoint! The food was so good and the service was wonderful! The atmosphere felt calm and peaceful and the decor was beautiful!if you are a coffee drinker and like strong coffee, the Vietnamese ice coffee was amazing. Already looking forward to our next visit!“

“This might be some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had in my life. My favorite flavor is dark chocolate raspberry truffle; while that’s a challenge to find just about anywhere, the few places where I have tried a chocolate raspberry flavor has been so mid, but Cowlick’s does it PERFECTLY. I’ve had a few of their other flavors and they’re all excellent. The only downside is they’re quite a bit of a drive from me so I stop in whenever I’m near the shore.10/10“

“We are not from the area but live açaí bowls so we were excited to try somewhere new. We stopped here and were in and out. The bowls were affordable and much bigger than those I buy back home. They were SO delicious. Highly recommend!“

“Food was great and atmosphere was wonderful!“

“Great lunch! The price point is spot on for the quantity & especially quality of the fish. The local catch of the day for the fish & chips was Red Drum. Excellently seasoned batter & tasty flakey fillets. The fries were just the right amount of crispy & the salt & vinegar onion rings were def ride or die! Possibly the only fish & chip experience I’ve had that there was no need for any condiments. Well done to Peter & his amazing team. Looking forward to tautog & blackfish season showing up on the menu.“

“this is one of my favorite places to go when i go to mystic! i love the variety of the pastry’s and baked goods you can get. the coffee is also pretty good here! i am a croissant lover and every one of their croissants hits the spot. such a yummy place to stop if you’re ever in that area!“

“Hands down the best pizza sandwhich money can buy. Get the turkinator! This is hands down one of my alltime fave places in the world to go.“

“We had a baby shower for my daughter and son-in-law at the Dog Watch Mystic, and I could not be happier with them. The tent and grounds were perfectly appointed, the food was fantastic, and the entire staff was wonderful. Thank you, Dog Watch!“

“Everything I've had at Nanas has been excellent! my favs are the drinks, risotto balls, pizza and hot donuts! The staff is the best!“

“We had a two delicious meals. The duck was crisp and not fatty. I had the special with roasted potatoes and spiraled veggies with a delicious sauce. My husband thought his paella was very good. This new restaurant’s staff and owners try very hard to please their customers. We will definitely be back!“

“I love Dexter’s Smoothies. But I am in love with a new coffee that I tried from them. It’s a maple coffee. It is delicious with whatever creamer base you want it in. You just order the coffee and add whatever extras you want in it. I never use extras, but being lactose intolerant, I’m glad I can use oat or Almond milk. It’s one of the best coffees I’ve had in a while.“

“Best Ice Cream. Chocolate was delicious. Husband had Rum Raisin, loved it“

“We’ve been to the old location (several times) and the new one and it’s still one of our top 3 breweries to go to! Great beers, great staff and great pizza! Tox is definitely a must when traveling in or through CT and RI.“

“The Early Riser breakfast sandwich-💯“

“Stopped here after a girls day out book shopping, this place is awesome! Friendly, happy staff with healthy, delicious food!“

“We just took my daughter for her 17th birthday, she originally wanted sushi. She looked at the menu and immediately changed her mind and chose to try her first seafood boil! She absolutely LOVED IT! The servers are fast and friendly and the food is GREAT! She chose snow crab legs and black mussels, my boyfriend had a crab cluster combo and I had a sausage boil combo. Everything was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. We will 100% be coming back!!!! Highly recommend!“

“Its a binary option; take it or drive around the long way …DUH. The RV ticketing contrast between Cross Sound and Cape May/Lewes is night and day. On Cross Sound, rigs that are 23’ or longer you can only phone order your ticket (and pay double the price). No rhyme or reason why; operator takes the same information and enters it instead of you doing it online. Office hours are yours to guess…not listed. Just remember no guns and shut off your propan.“

“The owners are so sweet and lovely. The food is absolutely delicious. My co-workers love to get our lunches from here. The portions are massive for the price. The mofongo is a standout, as well as their fried apps (papas rellenos, etc.)

I will be back <3“

“The best bakery in Mystic!! Best (and only) scratch made cupcakes and cakes in town, plus delicious breakfast sandwiches and other pastries“

“Delicious !!!! People working there through the years are always fantastic !!! Always bring my Family , bring yours..they're the best thing that happened to breakfast and coffe . 😁“

“I ordered Thai by Thai via Door Dash for the first time today. I got the Drunken Noodles. OMG they were wonderful. They got here hot and I'm in Groton. Lots of chicken and veggies and just the right amount of spice. I will definitely order from them again“

“I have been back in Dayton Ohio for a little over 2 years. I have tried to find a place that does breakfast as well as Jakes. I have found one that I like very much, but I have never seen eggs done over easy as fantastic as Jakes are. We were living on Fishers Island for 19 years before we moved back and we would take the ferry as often as we could . Jake and his family are welcoming to all.“

“One of my favorite local spots! Fun atmosphere and great food with indoor and outdoor dining and a great beer selection. . My family loves the charcuterie pretzel and their burgers. The corn bread is a must try.“

“The food here is wonderful! Nice atmosphere and a beautiful setting. We go every summer with a group of friends for their outdoor YARN concerts. Highly recommend. 5 stars.“

“Best cold pressed juices! I’m a new Weekly “stopper”. I place an order on line generally 24hours prior to pick up. (So easy to order) pick up being just as quick and easy. Staff is always so kind and accommodating!! To be 💯 honest, these are THE FRESHEST juices around! I have tried many other cold pressed juices and these are not comparable!!! Karma uses fresh ingredients and the difference is in every sip! Literally Karma Kitchen juices WELL SURPASS ALL OTHER JUICES I’ve tried! No turning back!! I’m so grateful I found this place! 🥕🥒“

“Our server, Sher P was wonderful. The resturant was very busy but she was extremely intentional to make sure we were comfortable. Her customer service was outstanding. The food was very good as well. We both wanted salads (cobb salad and strawberry salad) and they were more than we could eat. Thank you Sher for such a great customer service experiance.“

“Super delicious, fast service, cool decor/venue and prices are great! Highly recommend!“

“BEST CLAM FRITTERS. I am a local guy and have lived here most of my life. Every summer I conduct my version of the great fritter chase. SEAVIEW SNACK BAR, is the 2023, UNDISPUTED winner. Best quality and Quantity of clams, best taste, best of all the cheapest. CONGRATULATIONS SEAVIEW, they got fritters right.“

“Truly amazing and AUTHENTIC Jamaican cuisine. This is definitely worth the trip and easily the go-to spot for food now. The menu offers just enough variety so there’s literally something for everyone. We love it!“

“They have CBD seltzers, unlike many of the other local establishments, which is very nice for a non-drinker like myself to be able to hang out with the cool kids, so to speak.

Generally good music.
Great regular crowd.“

“Food was amazing and reminds BF of NY. We both dont like candy yams and they gave them to us on accident, but we both agreed they were amazing. Fried fish batter is so light and nicely seasoned. Oxtail is super tender. Empandas could use more filling but they taste amazing. Best tasing ones I've ever had. Will be coming back again.“

“Black point pizza is always my go to when I want an absolutely amazing pizza. for me I have the cooks keep it in the oven a bit longer so it stands up when you pick it up to eat. the sauce is to die for also. if you like your pizza a little more firm just ask and the cooks are happy to make your food exactly as you like. minor the owner is a stand up guy and really did good with this recipe. the salads and his homemade balsamic dressing is the best I've had from anywhere. if you have not come out to black point you are really missing out. I promise you won't be disappointed 🍕 #gettotheoint #Blackpoint #thebestpizza #soooyummy #greatcustometservice“

“We have been coming to David's place for a long time - usually very good. This time (7/23) was not the greatest. Ordered sea food salad roll toasted. It was not toasted and they have changed the sea food salad since last month. It was really good before - now it's more "Stop and Shop" type salad with big chunks. Before it was chopped up small and had a delicious taste. Also the chips were obviously the "bottom of the bag" ones. Sorry - just disappointed. We drove quite a few miles to eat there.“

“Twisters Ice Cream was the perfect dessert stop after burgers next door at Sea View Snack Bar 😊

The soft serve was simple classic American ice cream, but honestly really delicious. Even on a cold rainy day, it was still such a fun treat.

Service was super fast, although not especially friendly to kids.

Still, the ice cream itself was excellent and definitely worth stopping for.“

“Food was amazing!!!!!!!!!!“

“Coming here, you can tell it's less about seafood than many of the other restaurants in Mystic and more about their burgers and unique cocktails.

The food we ordered was good enough, the service was friendly, but they definitely need to work on their service times. It took about fifteen minutes from when we ordered our drinks and apps to get our apps, and we were still waiting on the drinks.

I'd suggest this place as one to grab a drink rather than to get a full meal, save your hunger for a neighboring restaurant“

“Had a nice birthday lunch there and tried the excellent Scallops with mushroom risotto. Soups and desserts all made in house. I enjoyed my meal looking out at the water. The restaurant has been remodeled and is beautifully decorated.“

“The service was great, drinks were delicious and the pork chop….perfection!“

“love this place! good food, family friendly...great atmosphere and awesome popcorn!!“

“love karaoke night, love the bartenders and service“

“My mom loves seafood so we stumbled upon johnnys clam shack. Let me tell you the prices were good. The amount of food you got was good and they had a cute little sitting area. We opted for the to-go and he brought it directly to our car. I would recommend this place over and over again.“

“Great atmosphere, great food. Family friendly! My daughter loves the music! Definitely recommend 💯!“

“Love the food and mango margarita.“

“I went here this week with a friend. I ordered a special roll and my friend ordered a spring roll. The spring roll was incredibly bland. Like eating a salad wrapped in tough jello. They did bring me the incorrect roll and I had to have them bring over the menu to show them what I wanted. The server was INCREDIBLY friendly and very apologetic. When the correct roll came out, it was very good. I also order curry from here often for my mother and its very good as well.“
