13 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Windermere

“Tonight was our first time eating here. I love how close by it is to where we live. We split an "Antipasto" salad and ordered a 16" "Mediterranean Chicken" pizza. The place was not busy in-house, but they were dealing with a good number of takeout orders. The pizza and salad came out quickly. The pizza was "oven hot", but eating the salad first allowed it to cool a bit. Excellent pizza... thin crust that had a nice chewy texture without being tough. They told us that the crust is "aged" for 72 hours after being mixed to develop flavor. Toppings were freshly prepared and tasty. Our pizza had a pesto base... really good. Very happy with our meal here... we'll definitely be back!!“

“Customer service was great. Lynn was very attentive and nice plus my food was awesome. Definitely recommend“

“The Food is Amazing!! We sat at the bar inside and the bartender was very sweet and attentive. We don't drink so I don't know how the beer is but the food is freaking amazing! Highly recommend!“

“Best local brewery EVER! My husband and I are beyond jazzed that this little gem of a microbrewery is just down the street from us, it’s always been terrific and never disappoints! We’ve been several times and the beer choices are always great and plenty. The beer seems to match whatever season we’re in, so being spring-summer right now they have many fruit based beers and lighter beers- sour, a couple of IPAs, a saison, some ales, a lager, etc. Everything we tried this visit was AMAZING! Jason had us try the “Partyboat” which was peach based and I have to say it’s one of the best I’ve had! We will be going back time and again because we love it so much! Side note- very clean inside, including the bathrooms, they have a large space outside for corn hole or throwing around a football, family and dog friendly, food trucks out front but they sell small snacks inside at the bar. You can even have food delivered and eat it there which is also nice. GREAT little brewery, we rave about it to all of our friends and family.“

“I haven't been to this location in a while, but have always enjoyed stopping by! The staff is very friendly, the place is always clean & bright, and the location is very convenient.
This time I tried one of their 'Candy Shoppe' flavors, the Blue Razz, a blue raspberry flavor with vanilla ice cream with colorful Nerds candy. It was delicious and a great addition to their menu!“

“I must say this location left a lasting impression! We’ve been to other First Watch restaurants before, but this one truly stood out for its attention to detail, warm hospitality, and how well they handled every part of our visit.

One of the biggest challenges I usually face when dining out for breakfast or brunch is getting my eggs cooked “medium” a seemingly simple request that rarely comes out right. Too often, the yolk is completely cooked through or the whites are left too soft and runny, which can really throw off the meal. But here? They nailed it. The eggs were cooked to absolute perfection, with a nice runny center and fully cooked whites—just how I like them. It might seem like a small thing, but for me, it’s a huge deal and a rare win in breakfast dining. I genuinely appreciated the kitchen staff for taking the time to get it right.

We also tend to order quite a bit of food—yes, there were only two of us, but we love to sample a variety of dishes. Because of that, we usually ask for a booth and a large table so everything fits comfortably. I know some places can be a bit resistant to this when it’s just two people, but the staff here was extremely accommodating. They kindly asked us to wait for a booth to open, and even though we expected it might take a while, it was ready in less than five minutes. That little gesture made a big difference, and it set the tone for what turned out to be an absolutely pleasant dining experience.

Throughout the meal, the service continued to shine. Everyone we interacted with from the host to the server was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about creating a great experience for us. It’s that kind of customer service that truly sets a place apart.

The food overall was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We enjoyed every bite, and the relaxed, clean, and well-lit dining area made for a perfect brunch setting. The booth was comfy, the coffee flowed easily, and we never felt rushed.

This First Watch location just gets it right from the kitchen staff who respect how you want your food prepared, to the front-of-house team who go the extra mile to make you feel welcomed and accommodated. It’s rare to find a place that checks all the boxes, but this one does.

We’ll definitely be returning and recommending it to friends and family in the area. Huge kudos to the entire team at this First Watch, thank you for a delicious, stress-free, and feel-good brunch experience. You’ve earned loyal customers with this visit!“

“Great food and d very quaint! 🥰“

“Love the ice cream from brusters my only complaint is the fact when you order a pup cup they give you like a very mini drop of vanilla ice cream expect to give it to my dog I was like really that’s what you’re giving me … No I’ll pay you for a cup of ice cream then was told we don’t have whip cream seriously why would I give my dog whip cream over real ice cream so either fix this or I’ll take my business somewhere else plus my blast I got tonite wasn’t all that you’ve done better so Brusters get with the program and do better !!!!“

“Bom dia, Mercado Aonde tem qualidade de carnes super bem preparadas , fazem recheados maravilhosos uma equipe nota 10 pra cada um deles super educados sempre com um sorriso no rosto isto faz toda diferença no mercado parabéns a todos.“

“I have been enjoying it since we lived in Winter Park FL and I think that it was the original location, I love it that you can make so many flavor combinations, and you can ALWAYS get a sample.“

“I had to come back to get another dirty chai latte. I drink only black coffee and this was my first try at a chai drink. This is one of the best drinks I’ve had. It’s the right balance of sweetness and tastes delicious. I have recommended this to anyone who will listen. The location and atmosphere is great. The staff are always welcoming. It’s a great place to eat, drink, and relax.“

“Very good coffee and tasty Lemon Bluberry muffin.“

“Great customer service! Thx Starbucks!“
