50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Granite City

“Closed on Mondays in May FYI“

“Remember how Chinese delivery used to be before DoorDash and all that? You've found the place in Granite City.“

“Blue City Deli in St. Louis absolutely lives up to the hype! The line was wrapped around the building when we got there, but don’t let that scare you—it moved super fast. Their system is clearly dialed in and works perfectly to keep things flowing.

The staff was friendly and kept everything running smoothly. We tried the Chicken Shack Ranch and a turkey sandwich with extra veggies. Both were fresh, flavorful, and seriously satisfying. You can tell they care about quality.

The chip selection is really unique and fits the local St. Louis vibe perfectly!!Definitely worth checking out while you wait.

Fresh, fast, and delicious. This spot is a must-visit in St. Louis!“

“Delicious smoothies friendly service thank you 😊“

“Flank steak & Short Ribs!“

“Delicious fresh and healthy!“

“The real deal Cuban sandwich. You won't find one better in the Midwest.“

“Great cocktails, food, and service. Maggie was a great waitress!“

“Love it! Food and atmosphere is great! We will definitely be back!“

“Very good food. Great, friendly service. Good amout of options. Felt like homemade vs restaurant food and the ice cream is delicious. Will definitely be back.“

“Some restaurants try too hard to create a vibe. Songbird makes it look effortless.

The moment I walked in, it felt like a deep exhale—warm, welcoming, and the kind of place that invites you to slow down and actually enjoy your meal. What surprised me most was that the standout stars weren’t anything overly complicated. It was the little things done exceptionally well.

That toasted English muffin? Golden, buttery perfection with just the right crunch. The kind of simple item that reminds you how good food can be when it’s made with care. And the applewood bacon? Absolute chef’s kiss. Smoky, crisp, and packed with flavor in every bite.

Songbird has mastered the art of making breakfast feel special without being pretentious. It’s the type of place you’ll think about long after you’ve left—and find yourself planning your next visit before you even get home.“

“Incredible food, cocktails and service. Their French onion soup is to die for. Lovely place with great atmosphere, highly recommend!“

“This is the best burger in the city. I will die on this hill lol“

“I love Up-Down STL! The games are 25¢ per game no matter the game. On Fridays they sell their giant slices (basically a quarter of a large pizza I think) for only $5 per slice and they gave lots of different flavors to choose from. I'm allergic to tomatoes and they even have choices I can eat. The games are fun and run great. The drinks at the bar are delicious. The vibe on the place is really fun.“

“Great drinks. Sting so worth the price“

“Awesome food! All sides are tasty. Beans are on the sweet side. But still yummy. Ribs are 10/10 Love the variety of sauces they provide.“

“My husband and I were on an anniversary road trip from Tennessee and decided to come to St Louis to see the Arch way. We decided to eat at Ace’s Smokestaq for an early dinner! Antonio and his family are so amazing and the food was absolutely on point! We felt like family! We even got a baby shower gift after we ate and brought it back for our new cousin 😉 Thank you for making our trip memorable and being who you are! Your family and restaurant are amazing! With love from Tennessee🫶🏻 -The Bush’s“

“Jake the owner has honestly the best beers in town and he'll make it a point to come talk to each and every person who comes in the Civil Life man I love this place and it has a old British atmosphere.Not enough kind words to say about this place.“

“Super chill place to enjoy a great sandwich.“

“Amazing vibe as soon as you open the doors. Its cozy, and relaxed, with an eccentric touch of mismatched furniture. The coffee is strong, the sweets are divine, the book are well loved. Not sure what to get ask the staff to pick! I did and got this amazing banana bread tasting iced coffee.“

“Everything we ordered was delicious and perfectly spiced. Service was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back to try some more dishes.“

“This was a wonderful cocktail bar. The mixologists were super personable and so much fun! The drinks were delicious and inventive. Thanks for a great night!“

“The pizza is phenomenal (the best I have had in a while) and the atmosphere is so relaxing and fun! The art on the walls and the decor is such amazing eye-candy. I can’t wait to have another slice and enjoy a relaxing meal and drinks! ✨“

“Terrible parking but great food.“

“I can’t believe I just discovered Cafe Miami! What a fantastic little spot. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and full of personality. I loved all the Miami-themed decor, colorful artwork, and quirky touches throughout the café. It felt like stepping into a neighborhood café in South Florida.

I started with a cortadito and a guava pastry, and both were outstanding. (Pictured!) The cortadito was rich, smooth, and perfectly sweet, and the guava pastry was flaky, buttery, and absolutely delicious.

For food, I had the Cuban sandwich, which was soooo good! Combination of ham, pickles, mustard, and cheese was spot on. My partner also tried one of their breakfast sandwiches with egg, cheese, and sausage, and it was equally impressive. Fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.

The owners and staff were super awesome. Chatted with them a bit as I used to fly back and forth to Miami in summers, and was hooked on Cuban coffees and guava pastries! I’m so glad I found this place!

If you love Cuban coffee, authentic sandwiches, fresh pastries, and supporting local businesses, Cafe Miami is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back for another cortadito and guava pastry!

So happy you guys.

I was already planning my next visit before I even out the door. 😄“

“This place is so, so cool. My cousin took me out for dinner and I had never even heard of this spot. Wow, it’s such a beautiful and moody spot full of charm!! We had to wait 15 minutes for a booth but I didn’t mind because this place serves LOOKS. The decor was awesome! Everything from the stellar service, crispy and lacey smash burgers and gorgeous dining room(s) made me realize why this spot is always recommended to me. We were very happy with our food and it was under $50 for two people! Check out Golden Hoosier, you won’t regret it.“

“I ordered while at work and walked over after closing up shop to realize that I was WAY early for my pickup order. The staff member at the counter did not make me feel silly for being early and fired my order early
Pizza head makes our city a better place. They feed the unhoused and folks in need as well as giving back to the community. So glad to be neighbors with them and enjoy their FIRE food
Xoxo“

“Had a wonderful experience! Delicious coffee and nice staff!“

“2nd Shift Brewing absolutely blew us away. Not only is their beer/seltzer’s incredible (seriously—every single one we served was a hit), but their generous donation of drinks for our school trivia night made a huge impact.

From the very beginning, their team was so communicative, responsive, and genuinely easy to work with. Planning an event can be stressful, and they made the entire process seamless. Their generosity truly helped make our event such a success.

And the beer itself—top tier. So flavorful, well-crafted, and a crowd favorite all night. We had so many people asking where it was from and raving about it.

2nd Shift is the kind of local business you want to support—amazing product, even better people. We are so grateful and can’t recommend them enough!“

“Our first experience here was nothing shy of amazing. The service was incredible, even with a bar full of pub crawlers. The food was so delicious and we cannot wait to go back.“

“The shrimp po'boy was messy enough that half the meal was trying not to drop it. Seafood tasted fresh and the portions were generous. Live music started while we were eating and the whole place got louder as the night went on. Crowded, energetic, and a little chaotic, but in a fun way.“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Great service! Great product!“

“Best ice cream around! Good amount of VEGAN choices...just wish more were available daily without chocolate. Delicious!!!“

“My absolute favorite pizza. Can't go wrong.“

“Zoe and drake we super kind and helpful. Made me a Iced Vanilla Latte and Blueberry muffin. 10/10 would recommend any day of the week.“

“great place, food, and people!“

“First time going and loved the vibe/decore!!! Met the owner and so enjoyed her and the hospitality!!! Definitely will be going back!! The food/drinks/music was so enjoyable!!!“

“I went to Pizzeoli last night with a group of friends and had an amazing dining experience. We started off with the Deep Fried Chanterelles and Chili-kissed Garlic Knots - the chantrellles were delicious and came with a chili ranch sauce that I would love bottled for home use. The garlic knots were a cut above your normal pizza place fare - melted in my mouth and garlic to butter proportions were perfectly balanced. It should be noted that their drink menu is extensive (along with their pizza menu - so many great options!). I chose the Athletic Cerveza - a great Non-alcoholic beer that ranks as a personal fav. I also like that Pizzeoli had multiple NA options as a non-drinker. On to the main course - my group chose the Andy (a current special with white sauce and mushrooms), the Lumberjack Snack (pep and bacon on red sauce) and the Meatball pizza (as recommended per their chef - meatballs on white sauce!). All three were delicious and cooked to perfection - the right amount of bubbles in the perfectly thin curst. I kept trying to choose a favorite and couldn't decide - would personally recommend a white sauce pizza but the red was also awesome! The grand finale was a banana split dessert pizza and ice cream sandwiches. A hot dessert pizza with the perfect cool toppings, I'd stop in just for an after meal treat some time. The ice cream sandwiches were delectable and fun to share with the table too. The atmosphere of Pizzeoli transported me to a simpler time when going to a neighborhood pizza place meant a friendly staff, unique decorations (check out the light shades over the tables!) and quality craftsmanship. A new favorite - highly recommend!“

“Wonderful coffee and great service!! River was extremely knowledgeable about everything on the menu and also, a really fun dude to chat with! He recommended the orange espresso tonic, which was excellent, and I’ll definitely be trying a pour over. Looking forward to coming back :)“

“Best ice cream around! Good amount of VEGAN choices...just wish more were available daily without chocolate. Delicious!!!“

“A cool little dive bar with pinball machines. On a Sunday night they seem to have some league whereby people play them all night so normal patrons can’t use them. It’s a pretty cool place though, and if you can find a night where you can play pinball or just listen to the jukebox, I’d definitely recommend it. Tiny chef is excellent also and they sell food at a window inside the bar.“

“Fabulous food. So glad they have re-opened“

“there food is really good my son and i love this place“

“Amazing food, atmosphere, service, great quality and quantity for what you pay for and the dessert section is huge! My new favorite place“

“Best ice cream around! Good amount of VEGAN choices...just wish more were available daily without chocolate. Delicious!!!“

“amazing owners who adopted a shelter dog with a horrible start to life“

“We were in town (from the Twin Cities) for the 2025 President's Day Classic, and had Hogtown Smokehouse cater a team (and parents) dinner for 30 in our hotel. Rico was fantastic in helping us out. Quick to respond to calls and emails. Gracious, and just wonderful altogether... and that's just the service. The food? The empty pans, told the story. Brisket, Turkey and Pork for meats. Mac & cheese, potato salad and beans for sides. EVERYTHING was amazing! I never right reviews, but Rico and staff deserve this one. If you're reading this, don't hesitate to give them a try. Thanks again, Rico!“

“The sour beer & reuben 10/10 🤌🏼 Also - the puppies approved“

“Buzz's Hawaiian Grill isn't a mainland interpretation of island food, it's the authentic 'ono deal! We drove 2 hours up to STL just to hit this spot up again.“

“cold brew and a chocolate chip cookie!“
