50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants South Pasadena

“Excellent service and staff expertise with regard to wine. Lovely ambiance for wine tastings. The wine tasting selection was thoughtful and several of the wines were superb. Unique selection of smaller vineyards and reasonable prices. We joined a membership program focusing on West Coast wines and the wine tasting was therefore free. We can do a free wine tasting weekly with a monthly membership. Most highly recommend this wine shop.“

“The shakes are amazing! Robin is so creative with the flavors.“

“What another fun filled night at my favorite local hangout OCC Roadhouse and Museum! Got to enjoy the great performance of “Completely Unchained” Van Halen tribute band. One thing that is consistent with OCC is there Amazing and friendly staff like server Monica E., Bob in security and Vic as master of ceremonies keeping us all updated with upcoming events. This place also has great food like their nachos tonight and seems to bring the best local talent and national acts to a great comfortable venue with plenty of parking and well-engineered sound. Hat’s off to the OCC team and I’m always Completely Satisfied! More than happy to tell all my friends and family about this place!

“Excellent food and outstanding service. A group of us stopped by after participating in our group’s Pinellas Trail cleanup and we all enjoyed our breakfast. We will be back!“

“Amazing food and relaxing atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Great clean ice cream place. Great selection of all kinds of flavors of different ice creams.“

“This place makes you feel like you’re in Turkey with music and decor. The food was absolutely delicious. Mehmet and Tugce served us gracefully. My husband said he just found a piece of heaven.“

“Buona ristorante (aka Buona pizza) advertises themselves as a classy Italian restaurant. This place is nothing more than a pizza joint. Extremely small inside with paper table cloths that they tear off from a big roll on the back wall. Ordered garlic bread and calamari for appetizer. Garlic bread was OK, calamari was so tough you could not even chew it. My mom's OSSO BUCO ALLA MILANESE (pork shank) was seasoned good, but I could tell it was cooked earlier and then heated up. The outside of the pork was warm, but the middle was stone cold. My wife and I got a Hawaiian pizza. It is thin crust and extremely soggy. Could not even pick up the pizza slice it was so soft. Had a horrible, weird tast me to it, almost like a sour tomato sauce. Barely even ate one slice and left the rest of it there. Went there for birthday dinner, and it was ruined. I guess our first red flag should have been that on a Saturday evening, it was not even busy.“

“The wings were delicious, service is friendly and great. Also had fresh spring rolls phenomenal“

“Great breakfast cafe. Beautiful patio for outdoor dining. Food was delicious.“

“Thank you for your support and donation of chicken wings to our 11th Annual Showers of Love Community Baby Shower! Without Community Partners such as you we couldn't do what we do!“

“Convenient location, bright and aesthetic! I love coming in during the week to get some work done. Their food and drinks are top tier & the staff is welcoming and friendly! I also bought their cute shirts for my daughter! Would give more stars if I could“

“Stopped in today and absolutely loved it! I had the coffee and chocolate flavors—both were so creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. The girl allowed me to try a variety of flavors and loved every single one. The shop has such a warm, welcoming vibe and the staff is super friendly. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to for our ice cream fix! 🍦“

“The apps and entrees were really good. Dessert was not our favorite. Oil and olives in ice cream and cookies? Strawberry pepper ice cream? Not again for us. Menu changes about quarterly. Service was good.“

“This is my go to spot for pizza in St Pete! Eddie always does it right!!“

“Simply wonderful! Natalie is our absolute favorite server!! She made my husbands birthday amazing and memorable!“

“It’s a hidden gem! This place is absolutely amazing. Everything we’ve tried tasted great and super fresh, specially the picanha sandwich and their home made cheese bread with catupiry. The owners are really sweet. It’s very worth the trip. Gente, vale muito a pena!!!“

“Highly recommend Vampire Penguin! Their desserts are top tier AND they do parties! We just had my son’s 6th birthday here and everyone had an absolute blast. Jessica was so accommodating and so sweet! We’ll definitely be back for more parties in the future! 🩷“

“great ice cream, wonderful and patient staff, many unique options. great value for what you get!“

“This afternoon I joined 22 friends for High Tea at Jack's. The food was better than the High Teas I had in England. Perhaps this is due to them making everything in house: fresh baked bread for the finger sandwiches, puff pastries with cream and jam, rum spiked fruit cake...all delicious. If you've never been to England, and still want the authentic experience, gather some friends and arrange with Jack's for a delightful afternoon of tea, food and conversation.“

“DELICIOUS! Great atmosphere!“

“Food and service can’t be beat. My family loves it here!“

“Great on the beach location“

“Our group of thirteen dined here today to celebrate two birthdays, seated at two tables. We spent close to $800, and I have to say — the food was exceptional and our server was outstanding. The staff provided warm and attentive service that truly stood out. Unfortunately, what should have been a joyful celebration was tainted by the behavior of the new ownership. A gentleman, who appeared to be part of the new management team (a man in his early forties), sat and later stood in different areas of the restaurant, repeatedly glancing at our group — the only African American party in the establishment — as if we were out of place. At no point did he acknowledge our tables or the two ladies whose birthdays we were celebrating. Yet, he made a point to warmly engage with non-Black patrons seated at the bar. The contrast was noticeable and deeply disappointing. In 2025, it’s disheartening that anyone still needs to be reminded that the color of money is green, and respect should not be selective. We value ourselves, our experiences, and where we choose to spend our hard-earned money. While the food was phenomenal, the lack of respect and basic acknowledgment from ownership left a lasting negative impression. We will not be returning, and I truly hope the new owner learns that real hospitality includes treating every guest with dignity and appreciation — not just those who resemble him. #Disappointed“

“Mama G’s has the BEST espresso and pastries in Sarasota/Bradenton; it is a family run business and they treat everyone like they are part of the family.“

“Amazing wine and the service from Sunday made for the full experience. This location was highly recommended from our friends at Paradise Sweets in Pass-a-grille. Absolutely 10 out of 10!“

“Love the burrito bowls! It’s one of my favorites any time I’m in the area! Although the inside is small and can be chaotic at times, the staff do a great job and get orders out quickly and correctly. 😎“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff. We had to wait about 40 min to get in as they were pretty busy when we got there. If it’s a super sunny day I would recommend eating inside we are outside and it was super hot and sunny the umbrellas they have don’t cover much. The food was super good! I got the waffle burger and I was really good! It would be worth trying the combination of sweet and salty was perfect. It was served with breakfast potatoes those were not very good as they were soggy I only ate a couple because I couldn’t handle the texture of the soggy potatoes. I ate some of the fries my husband got with his meal and they were really good! If you’re in the area give this place a try they’ve got a good menu with lots of choices.

Parking: We had a tough time finding parking. You had to get lucky to find street parking. There was a garage not too far away that had reasonable parking.“

“I love Jane and her team! These chocolates are simply delish! I reached out to Jane to create me some custom chocolates for marketing my law firm and they have been a huge hit! I would highly recommend Schakolad Chocolate Factory! 🍫☕️🍫“

“My son, mom and I stopped in for an early dinner after my son's basketball game. This was our 1st time here and we absolutely loved the food. I highly recommend the "Cool ranch rider" has a nice kick to it the only thing I did differently was ranch instead of mayo and banana peppers instead of hot peppers. My son had the "Turkey bacon" minus onion and tomato as well as sub the mayo for ranch he absolutely loved it!! My mom got the "Roast Beast" loved hers as well!! We decided to try the Lemon Blueberry cheesecake, it too was delicious!! We will definitely be back!! The ladies that helped us with our order were super sweet and made us feel very welcomed!! Loved the vibe. Reggae music playing as well, just overall a great place!! We were at the 3rd Avenue location for reference!!“

“We ate here 2 nights while staying on the beach this week. The hummus and flatbread along with their house salad for a starter was sooo good. The coconut shrimp was good and the coconut curry snapper was the best fish I have ever tasted and I grew up in Florida. The dish is not sweet and the flavor is amazing along with fish cooked perfect. Don’t hesitate to eat here it was our best meal when in St Pete Beach. Thanks Snappers we will be back!“

“The staff at Cosmic Fish are AWESOME.
Shout out to Nate, Jeff, and the man with the beanie.
Vibes are immaculate, my favorite spot for a late night study session.
+ Outlets
+ Comfortable seating
+ Clean bathroom
+ Priced right drinks , snacks, and other goodies available

The Iced Lattes are on point and they really take the time to take care of you.

This spot is a must visit!“

“Always enjoy this place when we come to Florida. The clam chowder is so good ! The crab cakes were flaky and delicious, the langostino lobster pasta dish is a must. Everything here is 5 stars but at a 2 star price! Server was also very kind“

“Ate there today and it was the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had the pork was cooked so tender and the bread was delicious. I had black beans and rice which were delicious but I tasted the potato salad and the pasta salad which were both really tasty. I can't wait to go back and try more things on the menu.“

“Had a perfect dinner tonight starting out with Sarina seating us and working hard to clean and seat people. Our server Brittany was awesome. Always checking on us. Food was amazing. Two awesome team members for sure! Thank you for a great night.“

“This place is sugar heaven- I’m so cereal about it!

All your cereal fantasies have turned real at the Cereal Bar. It’s such a fun concept- the place is reminiscent of old school cereal boxes/ cartoons and completely doesn’t match its location in downtown St. Pete (which is a good thing).

They handmake all their ice creams in the shop, and you can tell. The fun part of this place is that along with your ice cream, you can choose to mix in any cereal- literally I swear they have mostly any you can think of.

You can also mix in pop tarts- I chose this route and did pop tart mix in with my espresso ice cream and let me tell you this is what ice cream should be. The pop tarts gave it such a nice and satisfying texture, and the espresso ice cream was sooo good, again you could tell it was really homemade.

The owner was working behind the bar and was really friendly and helpful. Yes, these desserts can get super sweet when you have ice cream, a sugary mix in as well as a topping like hot fudge, sprinkles or more. But if you love to overload on sugary goodness, then this is the place for you.“

“One of my favorite things in DT St. Pete. An absolute must while in the area. Loveeeeee Stracciatella!!!!!“

“Who was very tasty and delicious“

“Great Beers, awesome staff & unique, quality, curated events. Definitely recommend“

“Casita always hits the spot! It’s one of those local chains that you can always rely on for damn good food and very fair prices. **Especially** during happy hour for even cheaper street tacos and some wine-based Margs (no liquor here).

We’ve tried every taco they’ve had and we’ve never been disappointed! Their queso is arguably the best in St. Pete and their (salty) chips make for a lethal combo. Yes it’s far better than Red Mesa’s.

They have different specials and different dishes to try, some soups, and some sweets. A few typical Mexican beer brands too.

They have a habanero honey hot sauce that’s so good I could drink, and it matches perfectly with practically everything on the menu.

We’ve gotten them for catering for lunch at work and it’s always fantastic, no drop off in quality.

Service is always super nice and food is quick to come out.“

“Jessica is the absolute best hands down bartender to bartender she was the vibe!! i highly recommend coming to Mad pub and asking for her 10/10 experience!!“

“Wonderful casual family-owned sushi/hibachi restaurant in the heart of St Pete! We made a reservation through Google and our table for 10 was ready when we arrived. The owner and his son Khoi were so welcoming and attentive. We tried a huge variety of sushi, salads, seared tuna, and hibachi entrées. All were absolutely delicious with very generous portions and reasonable prices. Tons of gluten-free and vegetarian options and the ginger salad dressing was so good I brought home my leftovers! Highly recommend for carryout or dine in and look forward to returning again soon. Loved Mr. sushi!!!“

“We had an amazing dining experience here, celebrating a birthday-food was great and our waiter was fantastic!“

“My daughter has a cows milk protein allergy, so when it came to getting a smash cake for her first I decided to try Valhalla since they have nailed the vegan goods. One of the BEST cakes I have ever had and many others who tried the cake! We had strawberry frosting with graham cracker cake and it was to die for. They designed it all entirely and I just purchased the “one” candle and moon sign to insert into the cake. Amazing cake , great Service and attention to detail. Even if you are not vegan, this cake was incredible and so moist, again best cake I have ever had and will be ordering for many events to come!“

“Had a wonderful time tonight while we were there. We were greeted with a smile and taken to a table almost immediately. The atmosphere was great and a bowl of water for our dogs was brought to the table. Our severs name was Kenny and she was fantastic. She recommended a drink called The Painkiller. Totally loved that drink. I ordered the oysters and was surprised by the size of them. Very good and filling. Kenny was fun to talk to and happy to be around. She definitely made our first stop in the area a pleasant and memorable one. Thank you Kenny.“

“The starter salad is so delicious and our steaks were cooked perfectly and mine was actually the best steak I’ve eaten! Definitely coming back when I visit again!“

“First time at coco wood and Ronda was our server. She gave us recommendations and let me say she hit the nail right on the head. Everything was so tasty and the quality was so fresh. Best I have had on these beaches in a long time. This will be our new spot to go to enjoy unique food and not just the same old stuff you can get anywhere.“

“😊 Great Maine snappy hot dog! Great environment!“

“Love Love LOVE this coffee shop!!!“
