50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Johnsburg

“The food was good, friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.“

“This place is one of our favorite places in the area. Everyone who works there is amazing, knowledgeable, friendly, fun, they clearly love the work they do. The beer is awesome, I have my seasonal favorites but always find something good. Love the food trucks, special events, mug club, the vibes, the customers, the family friendly environment and my dog loves it there too!“

“We received free tickets for a fundraiser here tonight and enjoyed the food so much that we will definitely be back!“

“This place is legit!!!! Excellent rolls! Thanks for running out to grab dock lines! If you’ve just passed by…… Definitely stop next time.“

“I want to begin by saying that we love this place. BUT, the service and food were just horrible. My husband's wings were good but my nachos were terrible. The lack of beef was covered up with lettuce and triple helping of sour cream. I left hungry. We usually stay for more than 1 drink, but I had to get out of there due to a very miserable child screaming for its mother to pay attention to her. Just an overall unpleasant experience.“

“They always take care of us when we come in every Sunday. Great staff all around and always great food!“

“great specialty coffee and a lovely setting. You won't be disappointed!“

“Again 10/10 at Little Chef in McHenry for both food and service ❤️ never a bad item or experience there! Today - based on the owner's recommendation - we started with a cupl of their meat and veggie soup that did not make it on the official menu - sorry missed a photo of it - delish! 😍 Pork, chicken and beef in a savory broth chock full of veggies - carrots, celery, onion 🤤 followed that with the egg salad appetizer, one of our absolute favs 🤩 4 toasted rounds of bread with their excellent egg salad 👍 then we tried the new potato pancakes entree for the first time, which came topped with assorted grilled veggies, plus toast, eggs and hollandaise sauce.. we got the eggs scrambled, rye toast buttered, sauce on the side, and requested a side of sour cream. YUM 😋 ended up with the vanilla cake with vanilla frosting - sorry to miss a photo of that too. Awesome! Service was timely, water glasses attentively refilled, as was the coffee too. $31 Note: it was one order of each item as we always split 🤯 We also got 2 bloody Marys and 2 mimosas, plus a Bailey's, kahlua and amaretto mix to add to our coffee as a nightcap from Old Bridge Tavern next door $48 Left with no leftovers and completely satisfied, happy and full.“

“disappointed in their lack of willingness to stand by their supposed convictions of supplying many forms of entertainment, then buckling under closed minded social pressure.“

“Best Mexican food you’ll love this place great service and super clean environment“

“Jackie and the team are fantastic! Everything here is house made! We had multiple sauces, meats, cornbread, chips and salsa, Mac n cheese and curry - all of which were enjoyed! I came here with multiple family members and clearly need to get back to sample dessert. They have good kids’ meal options plus a little gift area. Very clean and extremely nice service. Must try it all!“

“I'll just come right out and say it, I LOVE THIS PLACE! First, making a reservation is painless. The front end staff are courteous, polite and classy and am always met with a friendly greeting at the door. Alexis is an outstanding bartender and a gifted mixologist. Her limoncello martinis are exquisite. The wait staff are consummate professionals. I have had the genuine pleasure of being served by Virginia on numerous occasions and she is simply outstanding! And it's not just her level of service, but she's friendly and engaging and makes excellent food and drink recommendations. The girl knows what she's talking about - period. Her knowledge is impressive and she always makes it fun! The food is truly in a class by itself and compliments to the Chefs and kitchen staff. Fresh ingredients, incredible sauces and fabulous flavor combinations make this place a most memorable culinary experience. I highly recommend!!!“

“Planning a weekend family gathering from one city to another is never easy—but discovering “Ode’s of Food” and working with Stephen made the process not only manageable, but truly enjoyable. Stephen was incredibly flexible, professional, and easy to work with. We were celebrating our grandma’s 90th birthday, and thanks to Stephen, a special occasion became even more memorable. He took the time to listen to our needs and requests, always responded with a positive attitude, and delivered more than we expected. His creative and delicious food preparations met everyone’s needs and expectations. We honestly couldn’t have picked a better person for the job. Thank you, Stephen—you were a delight to work with, and we’re already looking forward to seeing you again in five years for Grandma’s 95th!“

“Definitely recommend this cafe to anyone!! Friendly service lady even gave us free juice samples tastes great. And by far the best coffee Frappuccino ever tried you can tell their ingredients are made with fresh beans rich in flavor. Thank you for being a great small cute shop 10/10!!!“

“Tried the new menu item Gyros. Hope they keep it on the menu. They were great. The Tzatziki Sauce which makes a Gyro was perfect with enough cucumbers. We now have a new place to go to for Gyros. Last, I had just about everything on their menu and everything is delicious.“

“Great gyro platter, enough for me and my HUNGRY boyfriend to share! Very friendly and courteous staff, highly recommend.“

“I love this starbucks! My drink is always made correctly but best of all the people that work there. They are friendly and get to know me. I think the manager is Kristin and you can tell she creates a great work place environment because her team seems genuinely happy to be there and help customers.“

“We had the pleasure to dine here multiple times. Best Pizza we have had. Owners and staff are very friendly. Hope to get there again someday!“

“Cozy place to bring your family or have casual business meetings. Love their drinks !! So much better than Starbucks . All the gals are super friendly too! ✨“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience at Docks Bar & Grill. The service was excellent, the food was good, and everything came out fast. We also really enjoyed the conversations with the bartenders — friendly, welcoming, and genuinely engaging. I mentioned that I appreciated the TVs being on the same channel, because when multiple screens are on different channels, the flickering lights can be overwhelming for me. I’m disabled and live with Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) and CPTSD, along with chronic migraines. The sunglasses I wear help reduce light sensitivity from LEDs and neon lighting, and the staff was kind, open, and understanding when I explained this. It meant a lot to be treated with respect and curiosity rather than judgment. The bartender was friendly, approachable, and handled the conversation with warmth and professionalism. Great atmosphere, great people, and a place that makes you feel welcome. We’ll definitely be back.“

“We got El Vado's food truck for a private event and we couldn't have been happier with the food. The three employees busted their butts kicking food out fast for us! They were so kind, and communicated throughout the event to ensure if we wanted to keep the truck open. Thank you again for elevating our event with your amazing food truck!“

“5/26/26 - dinner with friends! I had the Alamo chicken sandwich. Per the menu - marinated, grilled chicken breast with cheddar cheese, Bacon on Texas Toast and Parmesan fries. It sounds really good! When I got it it was cut in half and I noticed that there was a slice of tomato 🍅 melted into the cheese on the chicken breast. But I hate tomatoes and it was a good thing that I am not allergic to them. Had it been on the menu I would have made sure that I didn't order it. Anyways also there was very little BBQ sauce and the chicken breast was dry and tough to chew. Also I ordered Parmesan fries 🍟 and they were just plain fries.
Usually when I am out by myself I definitely would have sent it back. But since I was with friends I didn't want to make them wait any longer.“

“Good food,service fairly good- a bit slow then got noisy as place filled up. Loved the chic parm sandwich & onion rings and Italian stallion app.5/13/26- had the onion rings again-so good and Mag Mile pizza on hand tossed crust-good w/plenty left for a take home box. We thought it was half-price large pizza special &so did our server. She told us of the error but gave us the special price anyway- so nice!
9/10/26- went for bkfst-mountain omelet had very little bacon & needed more cheese also,love the buddyz potatoes! Server had trouble remembering things we asked for.“

“My husband and kids stopped in for chicken dinners and it was delicious! The staff were friendly, food was great and it’s just so beautiful and clean inside. We will be back tomorrow for Bingo night!“

“best place ever an the workers awesome real nice food is amazing“

“Such an awesome spot with incredible food and friendly service! If you haven’t tried their cheesecake of the day, you’re missing out—it’s always creative and absolutely delicious. I bake a lot of cheesecakes myself, and theirs never disappoints. Whether you’re craving a classic sandwich or one of their wild, over-the-top creations, Epic Deli always delivers.“

“Great times celebration of my wife’s Milestone birthday!!!“

“We have been here twice in the last month and I can't believe I'm just discovering what a great place this is. The food we've had has all been delicious. The staff has been very friendly as well. Prices are average. Would recommend for sure.“

“Went for lunch today, Sunday. I found the price to be reasonable, and the selection of food excellent. Have 2 suggestions: 1. The soup was very hot, excellent. However, the food was not. Lukewarm at best. 2. I skipped several dishes because I had no idea what they were. Signage very poor. The staff was very friendly and I will definately try it again. (I love buffets, but I also love my food hot.)“

“Phenomenal craft cocktails! Everything from my appetizer through desert was worth raving about. Staff was attentive and friendly. I will be a repeat customer for sure!“

“5/5 Stars — Outstanding Food & Exceptional Service!
Chick-fil-A always delivers, but this location went above and beyond. The atmosphere was incredibly inviting and spotlessly clean, making for a great dining experience. The food was amazing as always—fresh, hot, and delicious.
What made this visit truly special was Brooklyn. Her personality was outstanding—she was attentive, warm, and wasn't shy about spreading positivity with genuinely sweet compliments. Exceptional service like hers is rare and made our day! There was another girl rounding and she was great as well! I think her name was Johanna? We will definitely be back.“

“Very clean fast food establishment with a drive thru, outdoor patio, and a spacious indoor venue to eat inside. Plenty of free parking. Huge menu. Very friendly staff no matter the time of day we visit. Some sandwiches include an order of tasty fries in the price and some of the sandwiches allow different choices of bread, buns, croissants, etc to make the sandwich the way YOU want it. If you have a question, just ask...the customer can usually be accommodated.“
