50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants North Lauderdale

“This was my first order after seeing a negative review prior to mine I decided to order exactly what the previous reviewer had (the chik'n sandwich and fries via uber eats delivery. ) My sandwich arrived still hot after 25 mins in the drivers car with one stop before me! A flawless well put together sandwich with a fresh piece of lettuce and freshly cut tomato melted cheese. A hefty and surprisingly juicy and flavorful chik'n sandwich it was undoubtedly . I dont always eat vegan but i wanted to see what the hype was about. I was really impressed that it had a brand on the bun just like the menu photo had too! So cool! 10/10 flavor, portion size, temperature upon arrival, and attention to detail. I loved that they also had cold coconut water as a drink option.“

“I got the Spring Ting Platter and I was so delighted. The Mac and cheese is one of the best I've ever had and the jerk chicken had a crunchy skin to it that gave so much texture. The staff is very welcoming and the atmosphere is comforting. The juices are also unique and great. It is a little pricey, but so with it. It was delicious and filling. I will definitely be coming back. This is what soul food should be!“

“Phenomenal. I eat all over the world and have had a range of good and bad experiences at restaurants. This is one of the best gems I’ve ever found. You can tell the owner has perfected each of these recipes over a lifetime. It’s his love story and every ingredient was hand picked. You shouldn’t waste your time going anywhere else.“

“Was looking forward to the Ceviche I had on our first night on vacation. I came back to have the Ceviche again a few days later since I loved it so much and the Ceviche was completely different. All shrimp…. Did not even taste like Ceviche. Was sooo disappointed. I wish they would have told us before we ordered or I would have gotten something else instead. Let your customers know if the menu changes. I walked through high winds and rain to come back to this restaurant before flying back home.“

“Our first time here and had gyros and a flourless chocolate cake! They were fantastic. Our server Leo was super nice and courteous. Loved him, too. Maitre’D and host were very professional. Fun atmosphere. We’ll be coming back here again and again!“

“Our first time at the hen and the hog was a great one. Were in town for my wife’s birthday and decided on this gem for her birthday breakfast. I got the Baja burrito on special (pickled onions, egg,cheese, an amazing sauce and chorizo) and my wife got the skillet with corn beef hash(delicious and fresh ) . Ann was very accommodating and our drinks were always full. Great atmosphere even better food. We’ll be back!“

“We love Mr. O1. The pizzas are incredibly divine. Our favorite is undoubtedly the Beckham. It is the first time we eat in Boca Raton and the atmosphere is very pleasant to come with children. Ana was very helpful and introduced herself very smiling. Excellent service ! Thank you“

“Great ice cream spot in Coral Springs!! Stopped in to grab some ice cream and found it that all the ice cream is homemade. They have a flavor of the month and a flavor of the year. Big shout out to Jude, he was great at giving us the history of the store!“

“I dined in at Ethos recently and it was amazing, all thanks to Joey. His warm welcome and recommendation of the lamb chops made the night unforgettable—I've been in love ever since. I highly recommend Ethos for delicious food and top-notch service. Huge shoutout to Joey for making our evening fantastic!“

“Really enjoyed this cafe! Exceptional coffee and nice, unique breakfast bites. They also have a good variety of baked goods. Plenty of indoor seating and a few high chairs are available. Paid parking lot up front, there are two small steps to enter the restaurant.“

“We really enjoyed sampling their tacos! I want to come back and try more. The Angus beef taco as well as the shrimp taco I tried were my favorite! The chicken and waffle was okay but not as solid as I was hoping for. Super fun idea through. Reminded me of Bruxie from Southern California.Vegetarian options: They have a section of tacos that are Vegetarian but likely many could be made vegetarian as well.“

“Last time, I gave this place a good review. Now, not so much. As a local, my friends and I laugh at how bad the bar service is. It's like they go out of their way NOT to make eye contact. I just sat at the bar for 10 minutes, with a dirty bar in front of me and never got service. Bartenders have no sense of urgency. Staff needs a good wake up call in our collective opinion! Happens over and over again...“

“Food is great, prices are competitive. Service was also great. My only problem and the reason of the 4 stars is that if you order online to eat on the restaurant the 20%Tip was mandatory which is a pretty unsavoury and honestly didn't really appreciate the surprise. I would definitely come back but they should clarify the mandatory tips on the web page since at that point you don't really get a choice“

“Nate was awesome. My burger which was ordered med rare came out well done. He offered to redo it. New one came out perfect! Turns out kitchen had two cheeseburgers with cheddar and bacon ordered at the same time and the orders got switched, med rare / well done. Thanks Nate! Lunch was delish!“

“Planta Queen on Las Olas is absolutely amazing. We ordered takeout (because it was Easter Sunday, and restaurants are packed!). We ordered seven different dishes, and we were blown away by each and every one. This fully vegan restaurant offers mainly Asian food that is fresh, beyond flavorful and totally different from your local Asian restaurant. They offer whole food items, no processed food, very fresh and unlike anything you've ever tasted before. Yes, they are expensive. And worth every penny. My taste buds had a real blast!! SO GOOD!!! It is a small chain with about 20 locations - many of them in Florida, but we're so glad there's a location near us!!! Try something truly different and so delicious for a change!!“

“We visited Wicked Bread today for the first time after seeing it on Instagram. We drove about an hour and 20 minutes to get there and it was so worth it. The bread is the best cinnamon bread we have ever had! Dollywood in Pigeon Forge is very famous for their cinnamon bread and I love theirs but Wicked Bread is far more delicious. We can’t wait to bring some family back in a few weeks! And the decor is awesome!!!“

“My compliments to Seaside Subs once again. Delightful atmosphere, always fresh ingredients, locally owned by such cheerful people who go out of their way to be helpful, excellent selection. Ordered a platter of wraps that were a big hit at a family get-together.“

“We had the pleasure of dining at Tokyo Sushi, and it was truly an exceptional experience. The highlight was undoubtedly the authentic sushi crafted by a master, a culinary journey that can only be savored in this establishment. Each piece was a testament to the finest traditions of sushi-making, using the freshest ingredients and showcasing the artistry of the sushi chef. But it wasn’t just the sushi and sashimi that impressed; the desserts and soups were equally gastronomic delights. For those seeking a genuine culinary adventure, Tokyo Sushi is a must-visit destination where you can savor all their bestselling creations. It’s an absolute must-visit for any food enthusiast, a true gastronomic masterpiece!“

“This is my first time coming here.They have a nice menu selection where you can dine in, or take out.It's healthy- tasty food!I had a Chicken Champion Sandwich and Dirty Chai Tea which, is Chai Tea mixed with Expresso. It's totally delicious! I loved the after-taste!The ambiance is soothing, with Brazilian music playing softly in the background, and the decor is creative, fun and simple. It's a cute little Cafe.I simply loved their backyard. It reminded me of the quaint "hole -in-the-wall" restaurants that serves awesome food located in downtown in New York City, but it's here in Fort Lauderdale!I will definitely come back to this place and will bring my friends here too! ... or escape by myself from the everyday challenges that life brings to receive peaceful spiritual healing.“

“Have been here twice and both times the coffee, the service and the pastries were phenomenal! Nice people, great coffee and food, and very relaxing atmosphere. Perfect for a coffee date or if you’re just in need of some caffeine and pastry!“

“Lexi is my queen, i worship her. She is the best server i've ever had, her attention to detail and amenable personality made my experience amazing. I will be asking for her every time and i can't wait to come back to boca beach house!!“

“I have been looking for great croissants, and Amy's does not disappoint. A little off the beaten path, but very cozy: breakfast and lunch only, but indoors and outdoors. Excellent croissants. I've been back a couple of times and will go back again. En prime, je peux m'entraîner à parler français !“

“I can’t believe how good the gelato and pastries are! Tried a pain au chocolat, it was exceptional. Flaky on the outside, super airy, beautifully buttery, and just a touch of salt. The gelato was incredibly smooth and rich in flavor.Really great dessert spot. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It’s clear they put a lot of care into their food.“

“Seriously a must stop visit for any local or tourist or family visiting the area. All year round over the top decorations but Xmas and Halloween...forgetaboutit!!! There will be a line out the door and down the street of people waiting to see the decorations and fake snow machine. So much fun!!! And the ice cream is great. This place is every kid or every kid at heart's dream come true. Thank you for keeping our community smiling!!“

“Even if you are not from Balkan, and want to try something new - go for it! Food is amazing. Portions are huge, everything is fresh. If you want a good quality meat, there you go! Cevapi(beef links), gourmet burger, skewers.. it's just great.“

“We had a great time celebrating a bday here! The private cages, fun instructor, friendly staff, and great drinks made it a memorable experience that everyone enjoyed. The food menu has a handful of options, but all the items we tried were really yum. Can't wait to come back!“

“As a older adult, I enjoy going to this establishment very much. There is a nice mixture of ages and demographics, and everybody is very sweet. The owner Mark, his GM Fayna and his staff are very accommodating and helped me learn about the different botanical drink options and since I’ve been going there, my health has improved (i believe it’s due to their recommendations). I prefer holistic and natural approachsto my well-being, and I have become a regular of Leaves and Roots. I have also recommended them to my friends and family.“

“Amazing ice cream! A wide variety of eclectic flavors. Adding liquid nitrogen to the ice cream results in a creamy, delicious,melt in your mouth adventure. We will definitely be back and recommend this business to all our friends visiting the Fort Lauderdale location.“

“Omg this was the best experience ever our server Erika was on top of everything. The drinks were amazing, the food OMG no word can explain how great it was, and the atmosphere was very nice. I am from Miami and have been to many taco places but this has to be number one. I have never done a review for a taco place but this was a well deserved one. I recommend the carnitas, pastor, and chicharrón tacos the are great. As for drinks the sangria is super refreshing. Thank you for the best experience ever La mexicana!!!!!!“

“First visit yesterday to this establishment and I am not disappointed. Weekdays, Happy Hour from 5 to 7 50% off selection by the glass. The quality of the food is tasty (I had the duck salad) and the quantities are more than reasonable. To go “

“I'm so glad I finally made it hear after hearing amazing things and having it bookmarked for so long! If you love ice-cream, Asian flavors, and unique finds, you NEED to come here.Think ice-cream floats, but with an Asian twist. The ice-cream has different flavors (Thai tea, lychee, ube, etc), substitute milk tea instead of soda, and add boba as the topping. It's just as amazing as it sounds.They have signature creations, or you can build your own. I have a pretty intense Thai tea addiction, so I went with that one and I would highly recommend it. It came with a vanilla wafer, which complemented it perfectly.The inside is cute too, and the location in the same shopping center as Glitch, Blueprint, Clean Your Dirty Face, and a bunch of other awesome places is really nice too. It's a little expensive for ice-cream, but the quality is worth it for a treat.“

“I could live here!! The atmosphere is very vintage feminine and I love all of the antique furniture and artwork. Such a unique place. Every time I eat here I think it's the perfect portion and it's so fresh and delicious. Everyone on the staff is a doll!! Possibly my #1 favorite place to get brunch.“

“This is the best acai of quite a few places I've tried in the area. Their menu has a unique variety of toppings and flavors. I'm hooked on the No. 5, it has peanuts and cacao with blueberries and bananas. Their smoothies are also delicious too! Portions, pricing, and quality makes this the best and my favorite acai spot. ?“

“This was my first time here and I thoroughly enjoyed it there! The great service, delicious food, and the eclectic atmosphere was so nice!! We had the Chicken Panini and Waffle (with fruit on the side instead of on top), Avocado, and Scrambled eggs.“

“Don’t sleep on this spot. Food is fresh, well portioned and DELICIOUS. Their skirt steak bowl is out of control. The steak is perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. Service was excellent and clean. This is definitely my new favorite lunch spot.“

“The food is Amazing and inside beautiful atmosphere. The beautiful bartenders are super friendly and welcoming. The managers very professional and upbeat. But that Gosia girl and her partners in crime, Vanessa and Elena!!!! They are the magic we go there for always! They are like our extended family that always greet us with love and enthusiasm! Yes, the food is fantastic, but we really now go there to see our girls!Go check it out! You will love it!!!“

“Food is always great and outdoor atmosphere is a bonus. Went with friends last week and Thays was an amazing server. She made great recommendations and checked in on us just the right amount of times. She made a usually wonderful experience even better.“

“This Wells Coffee Co location is located in the heart of Ft Lauderdale across from Tarpon River Brewery. Its not open late but has street parking and a very small private parking lot. It boasts a cute outside front patio with tables and seating with shading. The inside is coffee type theme decor with couches and chairs. The staff seem attentive and friendly. They offer bags of coffee grinds or beans unsure which for sale near the register and a large easy to view hanging menus. For the area the pricing is reasonable. Just a place for a cup of Joe and a pastry and chill out. The bathroom is clean too.“

“My wife and I have been going here for a couple years now, the service is always great, the atmosphere is clean and upscale, the owner is always there making sure everything is running efficiently, and the food is always fresh, plentiful, and delicious! We always get the octopus to start and it is fabulous and just spicy enough to be enjoyable while not overpowering. We have had the malai kabob, the rogan josh, the butter chicken, the moksha platter, the chicken tikka massala, the gulab jamoon, the garlic naan, cheese naan, and more and everything has always been great!“

“Delicious coffee and a "small town feel" my dad was visiting for two weeks and by day 3 of going to Calusa the owner was able to start making his order as soon as he walked through the door. There's something about customer service that just makes things worth it. We love having Calusa in the neighborhood and will continue to support it!“

“My wife is French and she has a very hard time finding the things she loves to eat in America but she said let’s try this place and I’m so glad she did the service was amazing the food was better I had French toast and I was blown away by the taste it was the best French toast I’ve ever had in my life if you don’t stop here your definitely missing a true hidden gem it looks scary at first like you made a wrong turn but then you see all the different places and their beautiful and so different then your normal food choices this is special and I plan to return as much as possible and bring you dog they have a pet menu to if their was an option for ten stars Id gladly say it is worth every star they have gotten“

“Very rich! My first time having breakfast at this place and it was a very good experience. They serve you very kindly and guide you very well to know what to order. The place is very clean and nice. The coffee was exquisite as was the breakfast.“

“A brewery in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale, brings something fun to do in the area. The space in itself is fairly unique, are you in a warehouse? Why is there a house inside the warehouse? The decoration is fun and slightly homey. Most importantly family and dog friendly! What most stuck with me was the witty menu descriptions. Each menu item was funny and really made you curious to read and possibly eat. For about $12 you get a flight of beer, allowing you the chance to try a bit of their brews. Great price !“

“The Indian Harbor is an excellent restaurant for those who love Indian cuisine. My favorites are the Dal Makhani and the Butter Chicken. I usually order via UberEats but prefer to go in person to truly appreciate the naan fresh from the oven. The food and service are excellent… go with a friend to introduce them to this local delight.“

“Had a great lunch there today. Was craving a burger but wasn’t up to the usual haunts. Saw that the food ratings for this place were high & we were nearby so we checked it out. The burger was excellent as were the fries. The spouse opted for the Rooster sandwich along with a very delicious mac n’ cheese. Service was prompt and very friendly. Their patio was a very comfortable spot to enjoy everything. Moved to Broward 6 months ago & were pleased to add another restaurant find to our list. After getting home, the GM Tim texted me to say that they had my wallet which I didn’t know that I had lost. Everything was returned to me safe & sound. When you pull into their parking slots, the phrase “Be Nice” is printed on each of the concrete slabs. Well these guys are, from the food all the way down to the staff. We’ll be back.“

“Crackd is arguably the best brunch spot in south Florida. Their service is amazing and the staff seem to actually like working there. The food portions are appropriate for the price. The atmosphere is lively and fun. They are big dog lovers, just check out this pup cup I got for free. Thank you to all the staff, my boy Luca appreciated it!“

“This place is a hidden gem. You can expect great service, a terrific atmosphere, warm and genuine hospitality, solid beverage options with signature drinks, and fresh tasty food. The live music doesn’t hurt either, and the crowd is friendly and upscale. I always have a great time at The Fitz, and thank God that it’s stumbling distance from my house. Highly recommend!“

“When we got stranded without baggage and only the gym clothes on our back for a night, these folks welcomed us in with open arms when no other restaurant in the area would because we didn’t meet their dress code. Food was wonderful as was the staff. Thanks y’all!“

“My recent visit to The Tin Muffin Cafe with my wife and 7-year-old son was an experience well worth sharing. Despite a considerable wait time, the overall satisfaction far exceeded my initial expectations, making every moment of the wait utterly worthwhile.From the attentive service provided by the staff to the exceptional quality of the meals, everything surpassed what I had hoped for. Our selection included the Pumpkin Bread with Chicken Salad, French Baguette Chicken Salad Sandwich, Blueberry Muffin, along with beverages such as coffee, tea, and lemonade.Let me emphasize, the quality of the ingredients was outstanding; everything prepared with meticulous care and chosen for its freshness and flavor. The arugula in the sandwich, for instance, was notably vibrant in taste, indicating superior ingredient quality. Moreover, the cafe’s attention to detail was reminiscent of a Michelin-starred restaurant. The blueberries in the muffin seemed to have been marinated in their homemade lemonade, introducing an unexpected and delightful burst of flavor with each bite. The Pumpkin Bread was another highlight, moist and richly flavored, akin to carrot cake but with a more pronounced and satisfying taste. The lemonade stood out as the freshest and most comforting I’ve ever had. As someone who prefers plain Americano, I was pleasantly surprised by the hazelnut-infused coffee, which boasted a genuine nutty flavor rather than artificial additives. Even the green tea was enhanced with a hint of vanilla.In summary, the 30-minute wait was transformed into a memorable experience by the sheer joy and satisfaction derived from the meal. The Tin Muffin Cafe has certainly set a high standard, not just in the quality of their food, but also in the overall dining experience.“

“Across-the-board, this place is outstanding! My friend, and I went to two other pizzerias before she suggested that we come to Kosta's. Being from NY we don't eat just any pizza! We went to Bruscos and they acted like we were invisible, so we left. Kosta's greeted us like family! When they asked if we had ever been there my friend told them she had but I hadn't and we were looking for pizza ! The owner immediately threw a slice of pizza in the oven and split it between us to sample! It was incredible! I ordered a pie , a Greek house salad and 3 different types of desserts to bring home to my hubby who is now also hooked! Our waiter Nick provided service that we haven't seen in a while! He was friendly knew the menu entirely at suggested dishes that he thought we would like, because he loved them! He really made our day after the complete rudeness at Bruscos! We will be back! Thank you so much for the great food , ambiance, , friendly service and attention to detail! If you are in the area place is a MUST!“
