50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Tierra Verde

“This is a near-perfect rooftop location with views of the ICW and Gulf all around you. The ambience is enhanced by the magnificent views and the terrific tapas that is their typical offering. We were very pleasantly surprised by the addition of a Sunday Brunch service which was the best we have had on the Gulf Coast.“

“john the manger of the food n gift shop was a Hella of a nice guy as we say in the Midwest Midwest nice“

“Food quality is excellent. Michael, the new owner, has provided a fresh approach and tasty additions to the menu.“

“My first time was really good“

“Amazing multi-level bar and restaurant with an upstairs lost area. Historic, John Candy filmed part of the movie Summer Rental here. Worth planning a trip to this unique waterfront location. There is also a clear bottom kayak rental and launch here.“

“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“

“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! 🍦“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“Beech Kombucha is absolutely un-‘BEECH’-lievable! Stumbled (or should I say, fermented?) upon this gem while killing time before a comedy show, and let me tell you, the real joke would’ve been not stopping by. I’ve now been back three times, and each visit has been a ‘brew’-tiful experience. The best part? The ever-rotating lineup of flavors keeps things fresh—no chance of things going stale here! Every sip is a delightful surprise, and I love that there’s always something new to try. The vibe? Immaculate. The first time, we cozied up indoors, where the eclectic furniture made for a quirky and inviting atmosphere—perfect for conversation. On return visits, we took full advantage of the backyard-style outdoor space, which is not only spacious but also dog-friendly. Our pup gave it two paws up and is now fully on board for future visits. And let’s talk about the staff—beyond friendly! I’m admittedly terrible with names, but I believe it was Julian who guided us through the kombucha selections with expertise and enthusiasm. His recommendations were spot on, making the whole experience even better. Oh, and just when I thought things couldn’t get tastier, a food vendor was serving up Mexican-style tamales and street food on our last visit. The pairing? Chef’s kiss. If you haven’t given Beech Kombucha a shot, what are you waiting for? It’s a ‘brew’-tiful place with fantastic drinks, a killer vibe, and a welcoming team. Trust me—one visit, and you’ll be ‘hop’-ing back for more!“

“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 on the beach location“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Love Love LOVE this coffee shop!!!“

“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.“

“DELICIOUS! Great atmosphere!“

“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“

“Hands down the best pizza we’ve eaten…fast, fresh and super friendly service!!“

“Trendy Café with Very Good Food It was a rainy Saturday morning and the place was busy. No one could use the outdoor tables, so it was crowded inside. Nevertheless, things moved along quickly and we got our order in and got a table. The staff members were all very pleasant and helpful. The atmosphere was fun and lively. The coffee was very good. For food a Jam-on-It Sandwich which was quite nice. We also had a berry yogurt bowl. The yogurt was delicious and the fruit and granola on it were great. The scone we got, nicely warmed, was delicious. I’ll return, but I’ll try for a dry weekday.“

“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!“

“Every pastry is amazing! We've tried nearly all of them, but especially the Pastel de Natas are super authentic to Portugal. The savory breakfast and lunch items are amazing too! We can't get enough of their focaccia sandwiches 🤤“

“The atmosphere was perfect! I’m a sucker for vampires and werewolves! Lol! Excellent service! Music is my favorite; it’s classic rock! I will be back!“

“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! 🍫☕️🍫“

“Amazing!! Best Mexican food around and loved the casita bowls!“

“Great selection of beer and wine to choose from. They really do support small breweries and have a large local craft selection too. The brunch was delicious and wait times for a large group were pretty minimal. Great experience and a place where anyone could find something they'd like.“

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

“Visiting City’s Bistro is like going back home. The food is always beautifully fresh and delicious. The restaurant is incredibly clean. The icing on this cupcake is the people!!! Everyone is so amazing, words can’t express the love they have for this community and its people. If you haven’t been here, you absolutely must! There isn’t a bad menu item and they have the BEST coffee in town, hands down!“

“Great food and service! Yum yummy“

“Customer service was stellar. Employees were welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Dining room was clean and organized. The sushi was great! The spring rolls were ok. The wrapping was mushy in the center, and I’m used to it being crunchy all the way through. Overall, it was a great experience and I would eat here again!“

“Great breakfast! They were big portions and the server was amazing and helpful. The owner was very nice and also took time to walk around and speak to all the guests. Great service, clean building, and great food!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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“
