50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Lincolnwood

“I come here a lot and their service is great but you know how good a place is when they things don’t happen your way. I ordered an XL pizza and they accidentally made L one but the cashier went above and beyond to make things right. I will be a forever customer“

“Amazing milkshakes ( fresh banana and orange ) topped with real whip cream- crowd feels like the United Nations“

“I went here for my anniversary with my husband and the food was phenomenal. I highly recommend it.“

“my best friend and I just had the BEST experience at the whale! Our waitress taylor was incredible and the manager (so sorry but we never got his name because he was just being so nice to us) was incredible as well. We will definitely return with friends and recommend anyone to try it out! classy, but not snobby, cool decor, warm kind and accommodating staff, and great food and cocktails are just the cherry on top! try the carrot cake after your meal :) Thank you again to taylor and the manager again <3“

“I had an outstanding experience at the Goose Island Tap Room. The atmosphere was welcoming, the beer selection was excellent, and the overall vibe made for a great time. What truly set this visit apart was the exceptional customer service provided by Brian Freeman.
Brian went above and beyond to ensure our experience was memorable. He was knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about providing top-tier service. He took the time to answer questions, make recommendations, and make us feel valued as guests.
It's rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a personable approach, and Brian absolutely delivered. Because of his outstanding hospitality, I'll definitely be returning and recommending Goose Island Tap Room to friends and family.
Thank you, Brian, and the entire Goose Island Tap Room team for a fantastic experience!“

“We’re huge fans of The Bear, which steered us here on our Chicago trip - so glad we found this place! We loved the mushroom adobo and longnanisa breakfast sandwich! The mango tarts were amazing, as were our lattes. We left with an apple hand pie to eat the following morning, which was still had perfectly crispy pastry. Definitely worth the hour wait to get in.“

“Being from the suburbs traveling downtown can be an experience. This particular experience made our day. Moving our daughter into DePaul we came upon the owner of Red Light chicken who gave us a few pointers in parking near his establishment, after taking the time to help us find a spot he happily welcomed us with a free chicken sandwich which I’m happy to report was delicious. It was nice meeting you tonight and I’ll be certainly stopping by again - Fries are a game changer to!!!“

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!“

“I am late writing my review but I had to write it !! I visited provare chicago On july 8th !! From start to finish this restaurant gets 5 starts . The decor was nice and set a perfect atmosphere for a great night . We were greeted immediately upon arrival and seated within 5 minutes of being there . Once seated the wait staff began their introduction's on drinks and popular menu item's. After my party ordered drinks and appetizers a gentleman came over (not sure if he was the manager) and introduce himself and made sure we were having a great experience. Appetizers were amazing!! We couldn't wait for dinner!! Our entrées we just as good if not better ! Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection! When we didn't think the night could get even better the entire wait staff and the gentleman that came over before stopped and recognized my friend for her birthday and brought over a birthday surprise!! I live 307 miles and this place was definitely worth the drive !!!“

“Amazing all around!!! The food was delicious and service was great. The pita was incredible and the hummus was truly authentic. We had the schnitzel which was super crunchy and the sauce on the side was very flavorful. The patio in the back is so nice and spacious and the word burning oven inside really sets the vibe. The drinks were also unique and delicious. You have to go!!“

“Yawl have the best sauce in Chicago! it never fails my family! Happy Holidays from My Family to Yours!“

“Enjoyed my first Hot Toddy here!!“

“I'm from Iowa, took a little weekend trip to Chicago. A friend told us we HAD to try Lula's. SO thankful we did. I will be traveling back to Chicago just to take my mom here. Outstanding service from every single employee, incredible food, and just overall 10/10. Absolutely recommend.“

“Very good. Our service was excellent we had Maidi as a waitress excellent and the bus boys were efficient and helpful Eating there is an enjoyable time.“

“The food, drinks, service and recommendations were excellent. We were celebrating a birthday, and everything from the Oaxacan tlayuda to the Cornish hen with mole and the margaritas made with mezcal from the owners’ hometown in Oaxaca made for a great meal.“

“Great food, family friendly!“

“Excellent service very clean very delicious food well recommended 100%“

“LOVE Gemini. Their bottomless has a great variety, and my food has been amazing every time!“

“We hosted a partner happy hour and had a great experience. Worked with Colleen to organize and plan — she was responsive and easy to work with. Unfortunately a last minute storm forced us to move inside but we had a great set up. It’s a beautiful venue with great beer and food. Highly recommend for your next outing!!“

“Celebrated my wife’s birthday here with three other families, as we were in Chicago between baseball tournaments. Not only was Coda di Volpe able to accommodate a same day reservation for a large party, but they went above and beyond, from personalizing menus with a birthday wish, to adding a special touch on dessert. With four teenage boys in tow, the menu provided ample carbs and comfort for them while we enjoyed a broad sample of the offerings - all were very happy with their meals! Cocktails and wine selection was also on the mark. Kudos to Jeremy and his staff. We came all dressed in white and he told us he knew he wanted to do something special for our party… they knocked it out of the park! Looking forward to coming back to Chicago and making a beeline for this restaurant… a no-brainer.“

“We had the absolute best experience at this location! That was 100% due to the outstanding service from our server, Billy. Billy was extremely kind, personable, and the cadence to his service was perfect. He always made sure we had what we needed, but was never overbearing. I would genuinely come back to this location just for Billy!!“

“Great restaurant with delicious food and the best people working there.“

“Delicious food & great menu. The service is top notch! The Italian beef is a favorite of mine when visiting from Cincinnati. 🙂“

“Come for the pasta and stay for the olive oil cake and affogato. Great food, and excellent service! Our server Olivia spent time to help us decide what dishes to order and everything she picked was delicious. Even the owner came to talk to us and told us about how his wife spent years perfecting the recipe of the lemon olive oil cake which made it a must try. Would definitely go again!“

“First off the food is incredible, the pizza is next level. The drinks are also insane too. They have great cocktails that are offered but the beer selection was my favorite. However, my favorite part of the whole night was the service, Yasmeen at the bar was so attentive. The bar was kind of empty and there was no one there and it was just me and my boyfriend, but I still felt like they were waiting on us and we weren’t ignored like they were trying to push us out of the bar. We went to the Photo Booth and had some cute pictures taken and got one of the strips, we were told they’d be another, but it never came. Almost 30 minutes later, Danny from the bar came up to me and said I think this is yours and handed to me the second strip. I just thought this act of kindness was so sweet. He didn’t have to do that but he still did. I really like this bar. It’s very cozy vibes incredible food, and immaculate atmosphere will definitely come back again and I can’t wait to come back again.“

“The food and staff were amazing! Such a friendly staff who were extremely welcoming and attentive. I have never ordered ‘seconds’ at a restaurant until today! The tostadas were out of this world and the shrimp taco was delicious. A must try!“

“Food was amazing!!!!!! I will definitely be returning!!! Big portions, bursting with flavor, the steak was very juicy and tender. Best arepa, ever. Delicious!!!!😋 The owners are so friendly and welcoming as well. LOVED IT.“

“Got the double dog Chicago Style and fries, fried shrimp mild (they make it spicy too) with cocktail sauce, cheese dip and a Pepsi. Went out back and enjoyed my meal at the outdoor seating.

After moving from North Carolina, I can no longer commit heresy and put ketchup on a hot dog. I'm straight up addicted to the Chicago Style dog. Didn't expect two in one bun, but it was delicious nonetheless. Fried shrimp was crunchy and soft. Definitely gotta try the spicy next time. Fries were rolled right up with the dog and I even put some of them in the dog too cause why the hell not? 10/10 I'll be back.“

“A buttery, crunchy crust loaded with chunky tomato sauce and layers of gooey cheese and sausage. It’s a fork-and-knife kind of meal—and worth every bite. Heavy but incredibly flavorful.“

“I’ve had my share of good waitresses before, but I was blown away by the service provided by Tori. She frequently checked in on our table, making sure we were adequately hydrated throughout the World Cup. She brought our drinks in a timely manner too! Was Tori born to waitress? I can’t say for sure, but she excels in the role and Parlay-Lincoln Park is lucky to have her!“

“Atmosphere and service were on point! A must go to when in Chicago“

“I ordered a Matcha Chi iced latte and it was BOMB! A comedian also came in that I recognize from LA and said hello. Super cute space & environment 🫶🏾 I also live in Springfield IL and this is my first experience!“

“I want to give a special shoutout to Nadia at Dave’s Hot Chicken! She is absolutely amazing and always makes the experience better with her kindness, positive energy, and great customer service. You can tell she genuinely cares about the people she interacts with, and that kind of warmth goes a long way. Nadia, thank you for always being so wonderful you are truly appreciated. I love you so much and I hope you know how much your kindness and personality brighten people’s day! ❤“

“The food, atmosphere, and the staff were amazing! We celebrated my nephews birthday there and I can't wait to go back and bring some friends!“

“I have gone to Andros Taverna for many years now where I am never disappointed and always impressed with the service, the quality of food and ingredients, the atmosphere and the passion in general. Chef Doug Psaltis is a true expert and artist performing at the highest levels. The gyros are the best, best gyros in Chicago by far, the seafood world class, the homemade bread and pita are incredible. The foods and meats are cooked over wood fire, wood fire grilled. We had our daughters baptism catered from here which was excellent assortment of Greek food - this is a Greek restaurant you will go to for many years to come.“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“
