50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Lake Barrington

“We stopped in for a late lunch. Got really lucky and missed the lunch crowd. Our waitress, Michelle, only had 2 tables to help so she was able to provide great service and some great conversation as well. The food is incredible. Overall, an awesome experience. I'll definitely be back. When you go, ask for one of Michelle's tables. She's awesome!“

“My family and I ate here for the first time passing through from Iowa. The cream stuffed crepes with fruit were amazing!! And of course the coffee with flavored whipped cream was the best we have had in a long time. Absolutely loved it!!!“

“Delicious, fresh, healthy smoothies on a hot day were absolutely perfect. William made our daughter a minion milkshake (and secretly made it healthy without her knowing, which was perfect for our very picky eater), and our son enjoyed a taro boba tea with popping mango boba. Such a great find, and fabulous owner!“

“First time there. It’s a 30 minute drive, but we plan to go back. Best ingredients done to perfection. We have loved Lou Malnati’s , but this is equal to if not better. Our family agreed. They drove 1 1/2 hours and said they would come back“

“Delicious pizza, loved the thin crust! Meatballs are so delish!! I will go back again and again! Highly recommended.“

“I was waiting for a Cilantro location to open closer to home- had Cilantro a few years ago and thought it was delicious! Definitely still delicious- staff were friendly. Portions and flavor are great! We had tacos: carnita, Picadillo, chile relleno, Barbacoa, and chorizo. Also had a chile relleno burrito. Horchata is great too!“

“Best sushi ever, great hospitality, I recommend the Salmon Sunset. I can never get sushi anywhere else, this place is a hidden gem!! 10/10“

“Amazing experience at Mother’s Apron Korean BBQ! Fantastic food quality, generous portion sizes, experienced and kind service, and an upscale atmosphere. We got the Mother’s Queen Set and there was plenty left over with 3 people. The meat was high quality and the banchan was also delicious. Worth the price. Our waiter Patrick was awesome! Can’t wait to come back again.“

“Everything was perfect!“

“Once you eat here, you will not want to eat anywhere else.“

“Everything I’ve tried so far has been amazing! Fresh ingredients, clean establishment, and friendly staff. The steak and chicken Philly and burgers are my go to but the gyros are amazing as well. The fries are addicting! Give em a try and I’m willing to bet you’ll be a regular.“

“My wife and I stopped in at the Lake Zurich location this past Saturday, 1/11. We definitely loved the beer and the establishment. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They also had a great wood fire pizza food truck. I highly recommend Phase 3. We will definitely stop back in..“

“This place is a gem. We stopped there today for lunch and I must say it was wonderful. The sashimi bap I ordered was d se o fresh, delicious, colorful and tasty, and my husband, who ordered a bibimbap said it was the best he’s ever had. And he had a lot. 😀
We live in Crystal Lake, but it’s absolutely worth the drive. See you soon and thank you.“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem in the area! If it’s less than 5 stars then its vastly underrated. The fish fry on Friday in Lent was way better than expected, excellent teriyaki salmon dinner and karaoke entertainment by the locals that were extremely talented! (super encouraging also) We’re coming next Friday without fail 7pm“

“Absolutely delicious pizza, apps and dessert!! Very helpful when planning a lacrosse team dinner for CG. Jill and her team are wonderful to work with!!“

“I recently visited a pizzeria in Palatine and was very pleased; they have the most delicious pizzas. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, always smiling. I especially want to mention the girl who was standing near the cash register, Anna – she was very friendly, polite, and helped me with my order. The service was top-notch.“

“Thank you!!! Staff was amazing as we celebrated the life and loss of our family member. Service⭐️ Food⭐️“

“You can bring dog. Fast and good service.“

“The best brewery around focused on traditional German and English beers like Bitter, Marzen and Maiboch.“

“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.

“I love getting my morning coffee from Elder + Oat a few times a week. It is a little bit of a haul from my house but totally worth it. Have usually get their monthly seasonal cold brew I have never disliked it. Nicole is the sweetest barista! I highly recommend this cute coffee shop!“

“The evening we went it was very cold out so the restaurant was not extremely busy. This restaurant will be one of regulars. We shared small plates which were among the best we ever had. Wi has the bread, most delicious toppings, the tomotoes were outstanding. Along with bacon wrapped dates with pistachio. Llarge dates, with a warm honey sauce wrapped in bacon and topped with crumbles nuts. Equally good. The topper was the chacuterrie board. Best we've ever had. Uniquie cheeses and Meats along with apples, nuts and sweet dried cranberries. The owner explained about the cheeses and meats and where they came from. Very, very, good. And we enjoyed being informed. Our waitress, Jan was perfect. Introduceed herself and provided attentive yet not intrusive service. The chef stopped by our table as well. This would be our neighborhood favorite but is worth the travel, which was only 25 minutes for us.“

“I rarely eat out these days because it’s hard to find places that truly care about using quality ingredients, but this place blew me away! The food is absolutely delicious, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The Million Dollar Bacon is incredible—perfectly cooked and so flavorful. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!“

“Such a great menu and unique items! We tried as much as we could in one meal and will definitely be back. Our server Abbie was awesome.“

“They cook up some AMAZING BURGERS! Try one next time you’re in the area. Sit upstairs on the beautiful roof top bar with our favorite bartender, Hayley. She’s a pleasure. We go there just for the burgers and to visit with Hayley.“

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

“Today me and my spouse enjoyed lunch at Bimbos. The food was excellent, so full of flavor and fresh. The burrata was the queen of our table - I really recommend you should order it.
Our server was very nice and professional, the interior elegant and cozy and even though it was rather a grey, snowy winter day outside, the view at the river was beautiful.“

“Amanda's Manhattan is the best Manhattan I've ever had. Worthy of Amanda's name!

Amanda is the best. She's got a drink for every mood I'm in. Add on their specially-paired popcorn and it's a date ❤️ I love this place.“

“Awesome food and fresh Guinness!“

“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.“

“excellent service everyone was friendly and the food was amazing.“

“Many Oat milk ice cream options, and so many delicious flavors for ice cream, shakes, sundaes and shaved ice. Love that your dog gets to come into the restaurant and gets free ice cream. Chairs to sit inside or outside.“

“The best Corned Beef around. Stopped in for a sandwich and all I can say is WOW! Added the homemade coleslaw and it was amazing! Great Views of the river abd sun was shining on the beautiful stained glass window accents. Service was great! Price was fair and we will return!“

“Great craft brewery with tasty treats! Highly recommend!“

“My favorite place to eat in Grayslake and probably Lu even Lake County. I have been a customer for years and finally placed my first catering order for my daughter’s birthday party, the process was simple and easy. Pick up was fast and speedy. All the guests LOVED the sandwiches and pasta salad and the presentation was beautiful! Plus I got to try some of my favorite sandwiches and labrettis in smaller portions. I can’t recommend them enough!!“

“Small little place with SO MANY options. Love it here! Even when we come in close to closing the staff is friendly and helpful and makes our orders correctly and lets us take our time deciding what we want. Cute place with a few seats inside and more outside. Will be back soon!“

“Great place to end a day and start the weekend“

“The sweet owner walked across the tracks this morning to give my daughter an avocado egg sandwich before taking the train to Chicago. He heard my daughter wanted one and he was so kind to Bring her one. Btw my daughter enjoyed it on the train! Thank you again for your hospitality!“

“I can’t say enough great things about this place! My family and I absolutely love the quality of the food, and the service is always on point. We’ve ordered arrachera, chilaquiles, a taco dinner, and a kids’ burrito—and everything has been delicious. We also stopped by for Taco Tuesday, and once again, the food was fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. Highly recommend!“

“😀Great food, however, the “build your own burger“was a disappointment. The onions tasted bitter and very salty. I got the worst case of heartburn from this burger! OMG. Otherwise, everything else is top quality! Be careful when ordering this “build your own burger.”🍔 I’ve never tasted onions so bad, and seem to be imbedded into the meat that tasted so bitter and awful salty. Too bad because in my opinion, all other dishes are superb! Susan Lee Dzialo“

“Best shaved ice around! Or add a swirl of ice cream on top for a real treat!“

“The food is outstanding !!“

“We love Cary Dairy so much!“
