50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Chicago Ridge

“Great vibes! Super fair prices, clean space, enough parking.“

“Great food and a fun atmosphere!“

“Been to Jenny's about 10 times and they never disappoint. Brought my fiance here for the 1st time and have been here 2 tines within the month. She loves it. We live in Indiana and pass many steakhouses to come here.“

“When heading towards Beverly for a property management home inspection, I wanted to find a local coffee joint that I could get a coffee and a snack of some sort. Afro Joe's was calling to me. Walking in, greeted warmly, the adventure began. If you haven't been, check the menu before you go because you will want to order one of each item! Since it was my first time, most certainly NOT the last, I needed a lifeline. Charmaine to the rescue. I don't know if I manifested or she read my mind , but when I asked which sandwich I should order instantly , she said the short rib! Boom! Done. Next up, a drink choice. Again I was not led astray. The option was a blueberry lavender cold brew topped with rose cold foam. As she was suggesting the option, Charmaine lifted the one she was drinking and again instantly sold. No chocolate croissant available since it was later in the morning but the chocolate morning roll was there and three for three, the order was placed. I already know that I have to come back, time and time again.Just walking in such a chill vibe , perfect music, everyone tables either working or chatting with a friend. The open kitchen invites you to see the hustle and bustle. The garage doors roll up onto the patio for warmer days and what appears to be local art work adorns the walls. When I tell you, this is absolutely no exaggeration, every item was on point! The short rib was so flavor forward eith the bite of picked onions, there was a side of diced pickles and onions too. Also a hit. The warm bun had some fruit nestled in its chocolatey tummy, flakes and moist with the richness of cocoa. And for the latte, cold, sweet and the flavors all complimented each other so well. I did opt for whole milk because, why not?!? I had one too many client emails and texts to be able to enjoy grabbing a book from the shelf but note, they even had the sharpest of colored pencils to doodle or write a note with. I have not one complaint, well, maybe one, I wish they were in my neighborhood because this would be a staple place to visit regularly! Until we meet again and I can get my hands on a chocolate croissant next...or any one of the other of their baked goods. Support your Local Black Owned Businesses!“

“Runaway Cow is the best so delicious 🤤🤤 try the fluffernutter it's my favorite so yummy“

“Found metal in my food and the staff was Very Rude about it!“

“OMG! We found this place on a whim, looking for GF in Oak Lawn for last minute lunch options. Stumbled upon this GEM! I am no vegan, but the flavor profile is so spot on. Casandra was so amazing, putting together a random taco tray that was so delicious! And A+++ for presentation! Thank you Abuelita Coco, we will be back :)“

“I have tried a few other places after coming back home after vacation in Chicago. I can't find any cake as good as I had at Kristoffer's Cakes. Best cake i ever had. When my daughter goes back to college, I will have to get one to bring back home. Any chance, you'll ever be able to send to other cities??“

“Everything you could want on their menu trust me“

“Our Women of Impact group had a celebration dinner Thursday evening February 2nd. ✝️ We were treated like royalty. 👑 Delicious yummy food and the service was outstanding! 😋 Thank you Kristen and Tacho for your excellent service and helping us to celebrate! 🎉 We will definitely be back soon!💕“

“First time I've ever been and it was great. Had the sliders, some boneless wings, and some flavored cheese planks. The service was good, and my server was pleasant. The atmosphere is takeout with some seating areas. Will definitely visit this place frequently to try the rest of the menu.“

“Me and the GF had the Cruel Summer and the Expresso Milk Shake. They were both so good! Can’t wait to try others! Great place has a lot of outdoor seating as well.“

“Thank you so much Cafe El Menson for your generous donation to my kindergarten classroom today. My students really enjoyed the Arroz con Gandules. I cannot thank you enough!“

“an instant superstar in this community, people will come from near and far for this quality of Italian.“

“The pizza isn't the best if I'm being honest, but it's a Steal huge slices (which they do offer to cut if you want it ) and hell of deal / value for the prices considering a meal with chicken & soda as well is basically 15$. Open late for the Amazon foll as well. Obviously go back since the food is good in general!“

“Yesterday I took the Sourdough Breadmaking Class with Chef George at The Ancestral Oven and I just pulled an amazing loaf of bread out of my home oven 24 hours later! Chef George provided all the necessary instruction and supplies - including a lively starter - for students to start their own sourdough journey at home. The class included hands-on experience feeding the starter, as well as folding and shaping the dough. I had a great time at the class and can't wait to return to try out the breakfast and lunch menu at The Ancestral Oven Bakery and Cafe.“

“Love this place, and right down the street from me! The food is delicious! 😋 Just wish they opened a little earlier for breakfast!“

“Good service great flavors“

“Best Hot Dogs in Chicago! I drive from Indiana just for a Mighty Dog!“

“Enjoyed the brisket taco 🌮 and wine yummy chips and salsa 😋“

“Stopped in here for lunch for the first time and let me tell you I was blown away! Great prices great food! Definitely going to be the spot from now on!!“

“If you care about people and food, this is the place. Great food created and served by great people. The folks delivering this experience outperform every time and every day. You can tell ownership cares and takes great pride in excellent food and service!🤩“

“If you’re looking for a variety of delicious pan(Mexican sweet bread) and cafe(coffee) or tea, this is a ONE STOP SHOP!
They serve the smoothest cold brew and richest cafe de olla!
Now— “early bird gets the worm” as they sell out fast(bread.)
They are open later than most local cafes(6 pm) and have the BEST team. Not only are they phenomenal with drink recommendations but the customizations they cater towards their customers provides the best quality of coffee you can experience!
Anything and everything you can think of they might have. If not, ask for a recommendation; I can almost BET you will not be disappointed!“

“I wanted to truly thank Meadery Winery for a good experience I had with them. The host Greg was amazing host and talk about the different flights of Wine we had and the process how everything is made. My personal favorite was the Hibiscus floral kind. But overall me and my sisters/new people who was there with us had a time! Thank You!“

“one of the best dining experiences I've ever had!! food tasted great, customer service was great, extra clean (everywhere), owner, bartender, and chef made sure everything tasted great and was ok. I highly recommend and will be back!“

“We have been to Melinda’s a couple times now and we absolutely love this place!!!! The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is amazing! Great live music on the weekends and trivia night was fun as well!“

“We enjoyed so many of the food options! Some of our favorites are tacos, bowls, and burritos! The restaurant is clean and the staff are kind and attentive.“

“Absolutely delicious, loved the sauce especially, had a cheese and sausage thin crust and basically ate half of a large to myself haha.“

“Fun, down to earth, good food and the owner rocks!“

“Food is always excellent!“

“I've gone to Vinces for over 20 years, and I can honestly say it never disappoints. From the moment you walk in, you feel like part of the family. You are always greeted with a smiling face and the smells alone will keep you coming back for more. The pizza here is consistently incredible. Perfectly thin crust, just the right amount of sauce, and loaded with toppings that can fit any craving. With the number of years, I have been visiting, I have tried almost everything on the menu from their pizza to their pastas to their appetizers and I keep on going back. I have even hosted parties that have said the same. Not often you find a place that keeps tradition alive with the highest quality, but Vinces makes it happen every day. See everyone soon. Thank you Vinces you are a neighborhood treasure.“

“I am officially obsessed with the biscoff latte!! All
The works of course !! I tried this location yesterday while staying in town and had to come back today!! Will be heading back before I leave town tomorrow! They were super friendly!! I will say busy as well, so be prepared for alittle wait, but it’s is so worth it! I will be dreaming about this biscoff latte back at home once I’m gone!! They have perfected it !“

“Peppo's came through for our unit when we needed to feed an entire squad! This was our first time with Peppo's and it was great! We definitely will be ordering from here again.“

“Pyszne jedzenie, miła obsługa bardzo pozytywna atmosfera. każdemu z czystym sercem polecę. owoce morza pychota. Bywam prywatnie i z grupami i każdy wraca zadowolony“

“This was my third time visiting, and my second time visiting with my husband. On our first visit and today’s visit we had Jose as our server. Jose was so friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. He had asked my husband if he wanted a disposable bib since he was wearing a white shirt (which we thought was hilarious) but he explained that it was from personal experience and I would’ve never considered something like that for this type of meal, my husband accepted the offer and needless to say his shirt was spotless and mine was not. During our first visit we had our 2 toddlers with us and he never made us feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed because of the kids and was very understanding and respectful. I cannot recommend him enough if you stop at this location. Thank you Jose for making my birthday dinner special!“

“Teresa was outstanding great atmosphere“

“Food was delicious. They serve large portions. Staff is super friendly. Atmosphere is great, loved the mixture of background music including soft rock.“

“Thanks for the vegan offerings. My family and I enjoyed our meals very much. Super tasty!!!“

“Back when I lived in the area, Irish Times had just opened and I stopped in to have a Guinness. Now, I have had Guinness all over the Chicago area and never has a Chicago pint ever approached the magical, otherworldly flavor of a pint consumed in Ireland. I don't know if it's the water, the proximity to the brewery or just some kind of strange magic that happens to Guinness in Ireland, but I've never had better. That all changed when I drank that first pint at Irish Times. It was easily the best pint of Guinness I've had outside the Emerald Isle. I've since left the area and have had pints all over the United States and Canada. Nothing has approached the quality, freshness and taste of the Guinness at Irish Times in Brookfield. If you are lucky enough to be nearby, don't hesitate to make a detour to the pub. You will not regret it.“

“Yummy sub sandwiches, a step above the rest. Shells pasta salad, so good. Deliciousness.“

“1st time. Service was very good and friendly. Guy with the black curly hair super nice. Food was good. Had salad, soup, and a latte. Will be back.“

“Came here today for the brunch with the Grinch. It was a great experience for me and my family. My toddler really enjoyed the Grinch. He was interactive and great with the kids. The food and atmosphere were great also. Hope this becomes an annual event because we will be there every time.“

“Trying to find new Polish Deli's. Purchased several items, and very happy with them. Disappointed in the potato dumplings, don't understand why they are spongy. Everything else I purchased was good. Will go back to try more things.“

“Delicious food! The service was very good and the space was welcoming, clean and comfortable. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. Very tasty sweet and sour stir fry and fresh spring roll. Would recommend 10/10 and will come again to try the pho and other dishes in the menu. Thank you for the hospitality.“

“Fine folks - Good staff workers that take photographs as well“

“I like all the things that are made there Especially bagel chocolate chips“

“We hosted a baptism luncheon for about 30 people on the second floor. Our servers were very professional, the service was great, and the food was good! Mary Ann, the Event Manager, was very kind and professional and helpful! The room is very cute with a historic charm. We would definitely recommend hosting your event with the Vogt House/Banging Gavel!“

“I've been here several times in the past and I really love their food selections. However this time the service was not very friendly and the booths are getting to look very shabby. They are stained and need to be reupholstered. Doesn't make me want to go there again any time soon“

“I love the ceviche ! & shrimp cocktail!“
