50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Saint Johns

“The ambiance is everything you want from a coffeehouse, as is the service.

This venue is what I might describe as a second-wave-meets-third-wave kind of coffee shop, where they use a local roaster’s beans and do pourovers and espresso shots to please the discerning third wave rider while sustaining (I’d imagine) a bulk of their business with second wave drinks and pastries, both of which are good.

My wife loved the Kookaburra coffee pourover and the chocolate chip muffin, and I loved the pourover and the powerballs. Can’t go wrong!“

“So we went today for lunch and wondered why there weren’t many cars in the lot. I found out why - they don’t have a lunch menu. I asked if they had one, and was told “lunch is dinner.” So we ordered the “dinner” chicken tikka masala and it was good and plentiful (at $22 for lunch it should be). Naan was excellent. You can skip the vegetable samosas, not very tasty and too many peas. Wish they had meat samosas, maybe they would be better. Good service. We would come back, but not for lunch. There are several restaurants nearby where you can get a reasonably priced lunch for less. They would get more traffic if they had lunch specials or a lunch menu. Guess they don’t care about it.“

“10/10 best I’ve had in a while. No exaggeration 😇😇😇🏆🏆🏆“

“Fantastic staff, food, and drinks“

“Jade is my favorite! I love the location!“

“Everything I have had here is amazing, great food with amazing service!!“

“My first visit and it was amazing food was great; fresh OJ amazing and our server Madison was the best; I will be back on my next trip“

“We had a group of about 25 people o. Saturday, and the food and service were both top notch. Wiam and Raed jumped in with their crew, and took such good care of our huge group. The food was amazing, and most of us had never been there before, but all said we would be back. We can't thank them enough for hosting us!“

“This is one of the very best Sushi restaurants that i have ever eaten at. The service was spectacular and the selection of sushi and sashimi was stupendous. I have eaten in many Sushi restaurants and I have to say this is by far my favorite . Whenever we are in St. Augustine I know we will eat there again. My husband, who does not like sushi, also loved the food he was able to get.“

“Visiting from Maine and stopped at Woodpeckers for lunch. I’m not sure anything back home compares! Everything was delicious, quick service and friendly staff. Definitely recommend the mac and cheese and Datil bbq sauce. I will absolutely be back on future visits to the area.“

“The custard is so good! I had the turtle club sundae and it was absolutely amazing! The homemade caramel O. M. G.“

“So let me tell you. I love their sushi. Good food. Great price. Always good service. Now a beef. I used to eat there twice a month. They give you fried Oreo for desert. Complements of the house. But when I order pick up guess what. They wanted to charge $6 for something they give me free. Used to be a regular and hate to even say something negative but that’s just not right.“

“Reuben waited on me. I tried fajitas, rice, beans, & mojitos. It’s was amazing. 10/10. Clean, stylish, outstanding foods and drinks!!!!“

“The sushi was so wonderful. Fresh , awesome quality, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The Miso soup had a great taste! I recommend Tank's Sushi Bistro in Nocatee to everyone.“

“Best coffee in Jacksonville!“

“Good food and service thank you“

“Food is fantastic ! Employees so nice. Service excellent. I’ll definitely keep going back.“

“Every time we visit Pelican’s, we always get friendly and efficient service. The snowballs are fantastic and you can even get them stuffed with ice cream! The pelishakes are their version of a milkshake but to me they are so much better! You can get any flavor on the menu!🍦🥤🍧 If you haven’t tried Pelican’s you are missing out!“

“My wife & I just got ice cream cones there and it’s excellent! The ice cream was fabulous & the service was friendly and enthusiastic! A great place to end a date night.“

“Latin comfort food for Valentine’s Day was exactly what I needed! So delicious. 🫶🏽“

“Went in and had several great beers.I don't think I could really pick the best one, but out of 8 different we tried, there were none I disliked!!Service was awesome.Great selection!A couple small parties going on at the time,a lot of kids but it was no bother.We had a variety of foods to try,Hot Honey Chicken,Meatball and Brisket sliders,Pretzel w/beer cheese,and Blueberry Goat Cheese Flatbread!All was great BUT pretzel was overcooked and very hard.It didn't matter because all the rest was good and filling!I don't normally judge breweries on the food but it was so good!We will be back and will fill some growlers as well!!“

“Beach Diner is one of my go-to breakfast spots.
Each time my husband and I go, we are never disappointed!

The staff is amazing! They each are on top of their game and seldom is there ever a long wait to be greeted, seated, or served. If there happens to be a wait, they are spot on as far as the wait time, too!

The presentation of food is always beautiful… even if ‘just a sandwich!’ The condiments always seem to be full. Straws are already on the tables! Drinks are filled super quickly!

The restaurant is always clean… both inside and outside seating. The bathrooms have always been clean when needed!

The decor is cute — as one may assume— beach themed!

I sincerely have NOTHING remotely negative to say about this restaurant! They are all truly amazing here! I need to go try the two other locations!“

“Limited house brews. We tried 4 and 3 were Ok to good, and 1 was nasty. They have beers from other breweries to offset. Seating was comfortable and they had a couple of lounge sitting areas. They had a poker night on Wednesday that if I had known about would have been interested in. So average as a brewery I felt, but gave extra star because the chairs were comfortable (some breweries don't understand that you aren't staying long if you have to seat in crappy metal chairs). Various food places in the same area you can get from.“

“I drove by and saw the sign for “Italian Ice,” which immediately caught my attention—it’s usually hard to find good Italian ice around here. I decided to give this place a shot, even though I was a bit skeptical at first. The setup is unique: you get to build your own creation by layering Italian ice with soft-serve ice cream. I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but after trying it—WOW. I was seriously impressed! The flavors were spot-on, refreshing, and the texture was perfect. I loved it and will definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend!“

“The owner went above and beyond to take care of my kids and they absolutely loved their Snoballs! Will be going back asap!“

“My wife & I just got ice cream cones there and it’s excellent! The ice cream was fabulous & the service was friendly and enthusiastic! A great place to end a date night.“

“This place is awesome! From the second you walk in they make you feel welcome. The food is all that made you feel comfortable as a child with a clever twist. The drinks are also genius by digging into the memories of summer childhood fun(shot list). The people here are the best.“

“First time with my family. First ice cream we actually enjoyed! I’ve got to hand it to the one girl working there, she was patient and quick for the big line outside of the place. Fantastic service! Will be coming back, and I’m saying this as someone who used to dislike ice cream for years!“

“I’ve walked past this business but never stopped in. But now, I’m so very glad I did. The NY pizza is exactly how I had it in New York. Ordered the thin crust slices but had no idea how big it was. I had more than enough to enjoy. The service was top-notch! Not only from the server but also from the Manager. My compliments to all the staff for making the experience magical! Absolutely ♥️♥️♥️ the ambiance - reminded me of Woodstock, NY.

All and all, I give Moon Dog Pie an A++++“

“From the drinks to dessert everything was perfect. Once again, our dinner was fabulous! Steve had the filet, was outstanding. I had the tuna tartare stack, amazing! We shared the chocolate molten cake which was delicious, can’t find the appropriate word to describe because it was the BEST we have ever had. This is our favorite restaurant.“

“Amazing drinks, lots of options and staff was very attentive. Highly recommend!!“

“Great place to visit ice cream was wonderful 💚♾️💙“

“This new Poke and Hibachi place in JCP area is awesome! Fresh ingredients and very unique sauce tasty!! Also obsessed with their brown sugar boba milk tea!! Price super affordable as well! Definitely will come back!“

“Great place, great wine!! Fun place to get together with friends“

“I truly enjoyed my first time at any of Tibits' locations. I had a 1/2 Ruben with Chicken, Rice, and Sausage Gumbo combo. I was very impressed with the Chicken, Rice, and Sausage Gumbo. By the way, the weather was cold and rainy, I couldn't had a better lunch on a day like this. Thank you Jam and Regina for such wonderful service!!!! Definitely coming back to try the next combo😋“

“Great bbq quick when we needed food to go after moving all day. Good portions, all the meats (pork, brisket and turkey) were very good. Sides bbq beans, slaw, green beans and okra were tasty. Come by and try 4 Rivers. The picture is from their website.“

“BEST ICE CREAM AND SERVICE I go every Sunday“

“Love this place. It’s clean & all the employees are friendly and accomodating. Keep it up!“

“One word...WAFFLES! They have the best waffles! As well as potatoes and pancakes. I also like the outdoor dining option so I can bring my little guy. Service is always friendly and fast.“

“I ordered 3 flavors of wings for my baby shower! (Lemon pepper rub, garlic parm, and traditional bbq) I was very happy with the customer service and wings. The owner was kind to my grandparents who picked up the order, they made sure my order was prepared well and everything came out perfect!!“

“Plainfield diner is awesome. Chris is an attentive waitress.“

“I went on a Sunday afternoon. Very quiet. I had the patty melt and fries. The patty melt is always my go-to when I eat here. The fries are hit and miss. This time, they were not too bad. Sometimes, I can tell the grease is not fresh, and the fries have that dirty grease taste. Service was average. That can be hit or miss as well, depending on the server.“
