50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Glencoe

“This coffee shop has the best atmosphere - inside AND outside! The inside was very clean and modern. Baked goods (cinnamon) were fresh and delicious as was the hot chocolate! Friendly staff.
The outside was my favorite part: Great for people-watching (large corner lot). Heaters were installed ON the awnings, which covered the entire table, and not just on a tall pole on part of the table. The best part was the doggy Biscuit Bar - awesome, varied dog treats and water on an outdoor cart. See photos
This coffee shop has thought of everything!!!“

“This was my first time in Glencoe to watch a show at Writer’s Theater, and I stopped by this place for a meal before the show. It seems to be the only Chinese restaurant in the entire town and also one of the few places both open at night and relatively affordable.

My friend and I ordered the Walnut Shrimp Special and Sauteed Green Beans. We were told it would take 30 minutes, so we sat inside to wait, and the food came out right on time and piping hot. You can’t dine in the restaurant though, as they don’t have a dining license.

9 times out of 10, Chinese takeout will always hit for me, and Shanghai Garden was no exception. The green beans were flavorful and well-sauteed. The walnut shrimp had a nice crispy texture, tangy taste, and also came with broccoli and crispy noodle pieces.

The portions are large for the price and they also included a large box of rice with our order. For just $15 per person, we had a good amount of leftovers. Overall great value, tasty food, generous portions, friendly service— I would love to return if I’m in the area again!

“Bluegrass Restaurant is a wonderful, family-owned restaurant. We have been ordering takeout and eating in since we came to Highland Park three years ago. The owners take pride in managing the restaurant on a daily basis. They prioritize customer service, great food, and a warm, welcoming experience. Last night, they hosted the Highland Park/Highwood Professional Moms group. We had only expected 15 women to attend, but 25 women ended up coming. The owners and the staff were AMAZING. They brought over additional chairs. They provided us with top-notch service, including separate checks. They respected us when we were speaking to the group and quietly took orders in the background. I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant.“

“LOVE Smack Dab!! I live in RP and walking to Smack Dab always makes my day. The coffee is amazing. The vibes are so cute and so are the folks that work there. Recommend 100/10.“

“OMG -- familiar to Indian tastes & flavors, but with its own flair! Mustard Chicken pairs great with Naan or Paratha. Nicest owner too! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“best service! And delicious chocolate pie!“

“Can easily be my new go-to spot for pho. Tasty pho ga (chicken pho). Paid cash, but didn’t get coins back as part of the change, so I took off one star. They also accept card.

Plenty of free parking available in the lot next to the restaurant.“

“Kandy Krush Melt was an absolute delight! The service was top-notch from the moment we walked in — warm, friendly, and super attentive. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and felt welcome. The food? Simply amazing. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful too. You can tell they put real love into everything they do. We left full and happy. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great vibes, great people, and even better food!“

“I literally had the best pancakes I’ve ever had“

“This pizza is so good! I wish they were open more often“

“About 2 years ago, I re-established my health journey. After starting our family, we fell into many poor nutritional habits. Paying attention to macros and the food choices was hard….until the wonderful team at Steel Fitness Cafe helped realign us! Our biggest issue with healthier eating….flavor and options. At Steel Fitness Cafe, those worries completely dissolved! Want a great tasting protein shake that is ENJOYABLE??? Well then you are going in luck with the plethora of options here! Caramel Waffle Cone and Cinnamon Toast Crunch are two of my favorites! Need a meal that will fill you up AND make you feel good? They have those too! I helped myself to the Steak and Eggs! When Chef travels, he brings some of that cuisine back home for new meals! Have a sweet tooth but hate the fact that your favorite sweet treats contribute to being unhealthy? Well, their protein donuts WILL hit the spot. You won’t believe the macros until you try it! Here is the elevator pitch……JUST GO AND TRY THEIR STUFF! You WILL NOT regret it!“

“great cookies, stellar coffee, incredible staff. consistently high quality environment to meet friends and colleagues alike.“

“Wild Pita Mediterranean Grill is a standout spot that combines freshness, flavor, and friendliness in every meal. The food is absolutely delicious—from the perfectly seasoned shawarma and tender kebabs to the fresh salads, fluffy pita, and creamy hummus. Every bite tastes vibrant and authentic, and it’s clear the ingredients are top-notch and prepared with care.

The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, always greeting customers with a smile and making sure orders are just right. Service is fast and efficient, whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, and the portions are generous without being overpriced. The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and comfortable—perfect for a casual lunch or dinner.

Wild Pita has that rare mix of quality, consistency, and warmth that keeps you coming back. It’s the kind of place where everything—from the food to the service—feels thoughtfully done. Without question, it deserves a full five stars.“

“Omar gave great service! Good was very good (ravioli with tomato cream). Good for kids too!“

“Free Valet to start our experience here was a pleasant surprise and much appreciated. Hostess was very friendly, and our server Jose was thorough and had such a positive energy. Everyone chips in to help keep the table clean, waters refilled, etc. We truly had an amazing experience and would recommend to anyone looking for an Italian gem!“

“Muy bueno muy limpio mucha amabilidad del personal ricos desayunos“

“Loved the ambiance here, it feels really cozy and welcoming. The staff are super friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better. The food quality is top-notch and everything is served in a very hygienic way. Best part – the dishes have those real, authentic flavours that you don’t find everywhere. Definitely a place worth visiting again“

“Made a delivery and the owners had been notified by my employer that it was my birthday. They put together a margarita to go for me and I can honestly say I’ve never had a better one. And the owners were extremely kind even though I was running late.“

“I had to try it today before going back to FL delicious 😋.“

“Yummy beer, welcoming atmosphere!“

“Ate there for the first time tonight. I am vegan and my husband is an Omni. Chef Bill came out and waited on us personally, and gave us menu recommendations, all of which were delicious! The ambiance was so relaxing and peaceful; it was a nice respite from a busy day and I didn’t want to leave. Reasonably priced as well: shared appetizer, two teas, two entrees, and two desserts was $60. Will definitely be back for many more dinners!“

“Awesome place✅️ Great People ✅️ delicious Smoothies 😋 Definitely a must👍“

“Absolutely love Tala. I firstly want to emphasize how friendly the staff is. They've helped me many times as a new-to-coffee drinker and are always very accommodating. The menu features many classics but their specials menu is where it's at, and rotates throughout the year. But their matcha is the best and has officially made me a matcha lover. Also love their small but delicious baked goods options, which include gluten free muffins! Great atmosphere, plenty of seating, and typically quiet atmosphere with easy parking, but can get quite busy at peak times, especially weekends.“

“I’ve been going to Minellis for years, they have the best Italian sausage, and great quality meats in general. Their homemade sauces are amazing! They also have a great Italian sub! Try them you won’t be disappointed 😊“

“If someone were to ask me what is Dos Bros like,I would say that it is similar in concept to Chipolte, but better and a little bit cheaper. I live in Nashville where don't have any locations. I am hoping they will open here soon. The locations in Jackson and Shelbyville were clean with pleasant staff and excellent service. Highly recommend. Additionally I recommended Dos Bros to a friend who lives in Shelbyville. She and her son both loved it.“

“Overall it was nice, they did keep messing up our order and not bringing our stuff, and when I went to pay the cc wasn't working, but I feel like these are all problems that will be fixed in time, overall a fun place that O would like to try again once it's better established“

“The food was great and the service excellent. Don’t judge this place by the outside it is very nice inside. Check it out for yourself your will glad you did.“

“Friendly staff, great breakfast sandwiches, great coffee, great croissants, and free wifi.“

“Great place. Very friendly staff.“

“Best Pizza in Evanston. The dough, the unique ingredients. I. Am.Hooked👌“

“The best coffee shop in Highland Park/Deerfield area! Best customer service and perfect atmosphere for work meeting, reading a book or grabbing coffee with a friend!“

“This is a small cute restaurant where the food and service are so good, it gets crowded, so reservations are recommended. The food is American Bistro, and it is perfect for a fancy date or celebration of 4 people or less if some chatter noise doesn't bother you. I'll always go back, and I like their blue cheese hamburger.“

“perfect foods...great decorations.. nice price...“

“I ate an early lunch, so it was really quiet.The food was fantastic. Bacon Wrapped dates are tasty and had a sauce that really complemented the dish. The Chicken Lady Pizza was excellent. Caramelized onions definitely gave the flavor a pop. It was too early for me to drink, but I was impressed by their bar selection (especially Irish whiskey).“

“Very Delicious and Tasty 😋“

“WOW WOW WOW !!! AMAZING cookies and so beautiful too“

“Nice space. Good beer. I had a pint of Twice Lucky. Excellent, live jazz from Chris Greene and Damian Espinosa on Sunday afternoon.“

“The widest selection of Sushi grade seafood Ive seen on a menu in a Long time- all very fresh and very generously portioned! Octopus and salmon Sashimi were the dessert orders from our kids 😂 We will definetly be returning, and highly recommend. Servers, Host, Owner, entire staff was extremely attentive- and to top it all they were happily and safely able to accomodate my childs severe dairy and peanut allergies (first sushi experience for him, and we Love seafood, so huge win for the whole family 🙌🏼)“

“Jorge and his team, especially Josh, are the most welcoming, accommodating people. They truly love what they do and strive to make your day special. They made a cake for my husband's birthday on fairly short notice that was beautiful, better than expected, and delicious! The cream and fruit filling were fresh and not too sweet but honestly the actual cake itself, even though it was just vanilla, was so light and airy. I've never had cake like this! Definitely recommend supporting this wonderful business and will be back for more!“

“First time here! Everything was delicious.“

“Picked up a few of the Best Bagels in the Chicago area!!“

“amazing food and awesome staff!!“

“So so so good! We got pizza and ice cream. Both were perfect! We are so excited for summer with many dinners here!“

“I had looked at the menu before I came here so I knew I wanted The Cuban Sandwich when I arrived. It was fast and fresh. The meat was mouth watering! Was the best Cuban I ever had. I was not expecting this. Hoping for goodness.. but the best!! ???. The service was fast and friendly.
I give this place 5⭐️
Jerry (the pigeon) gives it 5.5⭐️“
