50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Highwood

“Great place. Very friendly staff.“

“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.“

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

“Best tacos ever!! The taco selection is authentic and a great price! Only place to him for tacos in my mind!“

“I travel to the area for work and always love coming here! ♥️♥️“

“Convenient, charming, clean and cozy, the Ella Grill is a great place to stop for a casual
meal with upscale feel. Proud owner Spiro and cheerful waitstaff like Teri provide old-world hospitality in a new facility that immediately feels like an old friend. Comprehensive menu includes hearty breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert choices
that taste great and are priced right. The tempting dessert case includes Spiro's delightful Greek cookies, a symphony of sugar and spice. Make sure you stop here soon for a warm and rewarding dining experience!

“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.“

“Food was delicious! It was my first time going to Yeero Revolution and it was exactly what I was looking for.
The spicy chicken and lamb were perfect, the Greek fries taste like how they should, and everything was fresh. I will definitely go back to get more.
The owner was also extremely nice (and Greek!). His passion and hard work for the restaurant is in the food and you can definitely taste the difference in the quality of how good the food is.
Would absolutely recommend anyone going.“

“Good 👍 food yummy 😋 good Customer service“

“Delicious Food and awesome service !!! We have now been enjoying this Dengeos Location for 4 awesome years !!!

Kid-friendliness: There are highchairs and large tables to accommodate.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ample parking and ease of entrance.“

“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!!!“

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

“Sat at the bar and was served by Vanessa- she was absolutely amazing, attentive and charismatic. The food was also delicious; I highly recommend the burrata flatbread. I will just say the lights were a bit too bright- it felt more clinic than reasturant.“

“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!“

“Amazing burgers Kid friendly menu as well Everything was fresh and made to order Definitely will keep coming back“

“Excellent food and service with never having your water empty to offering more napkins and large portions. Thanks again and we will be back and going to try a lunch option next visit.“

“Excellent cut above breakfast/brunch located in the heart of Mt. Prospect. Indoor and outdoor seating. Very good parking around rear of the building. Indoor noise level is happy without being overbearing.
The menu is extensive with plenty of sweet and savory choices.
The crepes and French toast with fresh fruit are good choices.
I'm always looking for a special country fried steak. Found it here. Nice piece of beef, no gristle etc , with excellent tasty super crisp breading. Country gravy had the perfect amount of bite, however I added a little crushed pepper to taste. Eggs, hash browns, and sourdough toast to boot.
Topped off with a mimosa and LaVazza coffee for a perfect Sunday breakfast.“

“Great atmosphere and Georgia Rae was awesome. Drinks for very 😋 delicious. I'd definitely recommend coming.“

“We were visiting Chicago area and tried out the Silo. We had the pan pizza and it was cooked to perfection. Tried their long Island iced tea was impressed one of the best I've had. It was our family of three, our server was just wonderful. No wait, loved the decor. Such a cozy spot we would definitely return if we're ever back in the area“

“Very friendly atmosphere on top of their great food.“

“amazing food and awesome staff!!“

“Everything was fantastic. The jumbo shrimp ARE jumbo. The grilled appetizer was delicious. I highly recommend the dolmades and lamb chops.“

“Hooray for local coffee shops and businesses. Astra is a wonderful coffee shop in the heart of the Ravinia District that always has a handful of neighbors out front during the warmer months. It’s also a great place to bring your laptop and to get some work done.“

“Hubs and I came last night for an impromptu date night. The holiday décor was absolutely beautiful, you can tell a lot of effort and attention went into it. The staff were all super friendly and helpful! We arrived during the dinner rush, and given it’s the holiday season, I’m sure there’s an uptick in guests, but we were still seated within about 15–20 minutes, which was impressive. There is a one-hour dining limit during this season, I understand they’re turning tables quickly to accommodate everyone, especially having worked in the industry myself. However, I was really disappointed that every single item we ordered was cold. I don’t usually like to complain, so I didn’t mention it at the time, assuming it was just due to how busy the restaurant was. But after reading other reviews, it seems this may be a recurring issue, which is unfortunate. I’m not sure I would return, but on a positive note, the atmosphere was lovely and the staff were wonderful. Hopefully they can work with the kitchen to make sure the food is served hot, because everything else about the experience was great!“

“We have discovered this place 3 years ago when we are searching for an outdoor casual dining. What we found was a great place that had outdoor seating on a deck patio with umbrellas and a TV set to watch sporting events. The service was friendly, and the food was great. The drinks were very reasonable. The menu was large having everything from sandwiches to dinners. We never had a bad experience there and brought family and friends to enjoy the evening sitting outside. We always come back.“

“Delicious turtle split 😋 open late till 11pm week days 11:30 pm weekends. Very friendly fast service! thank you Andy's for a terrific experience“

“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 🙌🏼)“

“My daughter & I were in from Iowa looking for a place to grab some dinner while in the NW suburbs. We both found the Red Barn on Google. Adam suggested the burger special. The Red Barn burger was terrific, waffle fries were a great portion, and the potato skins were really good too.“

“Yummy froyo with yummy toppings 😘“

“This is literally the best Subway I've ever been to. Mike is the nicest guy who is always there when I visit. He always remembers my order and will never let me forget the side of giardinara that I always order for my husband. This location also accepts all coupons, regardless of expiration. The actual owner (whose name I forgot - I only met him once) is a very nice guy who explained that his focus is on excellent customer service. Really rare for a fast food franchise owner. Love this place and will go out of my way just for the great service!“

“It was an amazing experience. Service and food just perfect… gracias por una experiencia tan grata.“

“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⭐️“

“The staff is very friendly. The food was good. The atmosphere was wonderful. I recommend you guys to get the hamburger there they have different ones.“

“Delicious food and awesome atmosphere and staff!“

“Great service and absolutely delicious meat! The smoked brisket and beef ribs were seasoned perfectly and just melted in your mouth. Generous portion sizes for the entire family. Only item we didn’t really like were the mocktails - none of them had any flavor or sparkling fizz to them - they were overly sweet and flat.“

“Great beer. Great staff. Great live music.“

“How crazy is this. Going to Sunset Foods I saw this sign in the window of a storefront to the West. Fortunately I found BRIGHT BOWLS owned and operated by a Highland Parker named Lindsay. I can’t describe the ambiance and wonderful products. You need to experience on your own. My favorite so far is the LoveABowl. Enjoy on site or to go. Get Bright Butter, Bright Granola and Bright Smiles. Tell the staff Larry sent you. Hmmmm“

“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!

“Convito's is a restaurant where one can count on a professional wait staff. Courteous. Friendly. Service with a smile. The food selection is great and the food is delicious! The added bonus is the food market next to the restaurant, which is wonderful for “take home”!“

“Food is great and fresh, portions are legit, ingredients are clean, staff is super friendly and welcoming, price is right, and the atmosphere is great.

It’s literally the exact opposite of the infamously terrible Chipotle right across the street, so come support Guzman y Gomez instead!“
