50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Lyons

“Personalized attention. Some delicious cakes. An exquisite coffee“

“We had a great time at this family-friendly brewery! The atmosphere was relaxed, and there was plenty of outdoor seating where the kids could play while we enjoyed some delicious craft beer.

They even had board games and kid-friendly, which made it easy for everyone to have fun. A perfect spot to unwind and enjoy quality time together. We'll definitely be back!“

“Great DJ, Vic, Qweerrrttyyuuiijj cfgfdd jufc iffy“

“Great pizza. Carryout. Go on Monday, half off pizza! The trick is to get one of the specialty pizzas like the supreme or meat lovers. Those are half off. If you get the cheese pizza and add toppings the cheese pizza is half off, but the toppings are full price. That can add up. So for the best deal select one of the specialty pizzas.“

“Very very good :)!growing up my mom always ordered Chinese food for us kids and I’ve been craving Chinese food but nothing was good enough and coming across this place is a blessing. Super good! We had shrimp fried rice , beef lo mein , Singapore noodles , orange chicken and ofc crab Rangoon and egg rolls 😂!! Very very good definitely putting the menu on the fridge :) will be a longtime customer :)“

“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“

“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.“

“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'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.“

“Enjoyed my first Hot Toddy here!!“

“A must try spot! Great food, coffee and atmosphere! Definitely recommend!“

“Extremely good burger for super cheap, only accept cash and wait is longer than normal but worth it. No indoor seating and packed usually bc its so good. If you eat in their outdoor seating expect the train to interrupt your conversation every 15 mins because its right under the tracks“

“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! ❤“

“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.“

“Nice place, wonderful burger and good bar selection. Totally disagree with the credit card surcharge, though - no restaurant with $20 burgers should charge guests the comission!“

“Great food/drinks Great service Great prices We will be back.“

“Amazing place and the staff are awesome“

“Moonwalker is our favorite neighborhood cafe! They have the best sandwiches both for breakfast and lunch and such delicious lattes, the banana bread latte is to die for. All only made better by their incredible staff!“

“loved everything about it!“

“I’ve been going to Bang Bang Pie & Biscuits for years — back when my cousin worked there — and it’s still one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. The ginger cookies are reason enough to visit on their own.

Everything feels thoughtful without feeling overdone. Great food, great people, and the kind of place that becomes part of your routine before you realize it. Logan Square wouldn’t feel quite the same without it.“

“A must see if you go to Chicago. Burgers are the best in the city. Great vibes.“

“Great spot for live music.“

“what a great restaurant. the food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. it was a great way to end our day in Chicago“

“This place is the coolest bar I have been to in a long time, hip and fun but not pretentious. They paid attention to every detail when building and designing. The white marbel bar has clean lines and looks fresh. All of the hardware finishes look sharp and clean. The patio is large and inviting with a fire place and plenty of tables to sit at. The drink menu is creative and refreshing and the staff is kind and welcoming. I cannot say enough good things about this gem of a bar. I am excited to hang out this fall on the patio by the fireplace with good drink in My hand.“

“We had a delicious breakfast and the service was Excellent. Looking forward to coming back for lunch and mock tails.“

“Wow, this bakery is amazing! I’ve been here twice, and everything is so delicious! Plus, everyone is super friendly. I usually get the chai spice roll (it’s the best!) and any savory pastry I’m in the mood for. They have such a wide variety of options. I’ll definitely be back every time!“

“Really enjoyed this coffee shop. There’s plenty of seating, lots of outlets, and a great atmosphere whether you're working, meeting friends, or just relaxing with a coffee. The unique vibe and friendly atmosphere make this a place you'll want to spend some time in. Definitely a spot I'll be returning to.“

“Wonderful food and service.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for a little slice of New Orleans, Junebug Cafe is the place to be! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of rich, smooth coffee fills the air, and the first bite of their Louisiana hand pies or fluffy, powdered-sugar-dusted beignets will transport you straight to the French Quarter. The flavors are authentic, the atmosphere is warm, and every sip and bite feels like a celebration. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem—your taste buds will thank you! ☕✨ Start your morning with a little taste of New Orleans right here at Junebug Cafe! #JunebugCafe #TasteOfNOLA #BeignetsAndCoffee #CafeVibes“

“Found metal in my food and the staff was Very Rude about it!“

“OMG! We found this place on a whim, looking for GF in Oak Lawn for last minute lunch options. Stumbled upon this GEM! I am no vegan, but the flavor profile is so spot on. Casandra was so amazing, putting together a random taco tray that was so delicious! And A+++ for presentation! Thank you Abuelita Coco, we will be back :)“

“Chicken is very delicious“

“I keep seeing this brewery pop up and for good reason! It’s spacious, so you don’t feel crowded even when there’s a crowd there. They have a pool table and darts that add to the fun and entertainment! Excellent selection of beer and a great tap. Staff are the sweetest and I hear they have popups there sometimes too! Super dog friendly.“

“My sister lived in Italy for a while, and we took her to Black Dog Gelato. After tasting three of the creative gelatos, she said that Black Dog has gelato as good as the best in Italy.

I haven't been to Italy very much, but there is little doubt that Black Dog may have the best gelato in Chicago. I can't say for sure because I haven't been to all the gelato stores in the Windy City, but they'd have to be five stars to compete.

When I first visited Black Dog, I tasted the pistachio gelato with pistachio bits on top and in the gelato itself. I like to test a gelatoria by tasting the pistacho, and Black Dog had me right off the bat. Since then, I've never been disappointed by their rotating roster of flavors.

The store even has a dairy-free Wednesday, and the gelato that day often tastes as good as the regular gelato.

The staff of primarily young women are welcoming and patient as you decide. They have characters that you don't find in customer service anymore: they seem to really like helping people! And they fulfill any tasting request.

Black Dog is located on a corner on Damen Avenue in Ukranian Village. It's an unassuming store that has a neighborhood feel about it.

The gelato shop appears not to have caught the eyes of the gentrification crowd. That's to the benefit of those who love it because we don't have to wait in long lines. That's their loss.

Black Dog may be a bit of a trip from the Northside, but it's tough to beat.“

“great staff, super attentive & extremely friendly. thanks Neil ! highly recommend the tuna dish !“

“Awesome breakfast and drinks, got to chat with the owner-what a great guy! 5 stars all around!“

“Phenomenal food, that’s arguably the best in the north shore.“

“Best Hot Dogs in Chicago! I drive from Indiana just for a Mighty Dog!“

“Food was good! Super chill vibe. Love that you can substitute fries for a salad at no charge. Def will be coming back here! Great burger.

Update: second time here, server was extremely rude and kept rolling his eyes. Still tipped 20% but it was not welcoming“

“I ordered lunch for my employees to have during a class. It was very, very delicious! Everything we ordered was great! Dill rice, hands down the best dill rice any of us have had. It's definitely worth a try... you will not be disappointed!“

“Grande! Finalmente anche gli americani possono mangiare una pizza seria.“

“Deserves more than 5 stars! WONDERFUL experience each time I come here. Everything made from scratch. Not just pierogi ---Gelato, soups, empanadas, tamales, pizza pie (takes 50 mins to make from scratch and worth it!!) Premium Belgium chocolates, shakes, Coffee and most recent.....160 (yes one hundred and sixty) different premium teas from around the world!!.....and more to come! They also own the tea room and book store next to the cafe. Owners are THE BEST! Welcoming, personable and humorous. Dinning outside available and pups are welcome! You can tell they have a passion for the business. HIGHLY recommend! ENJOY!“

“I had a great time wine tasting here! We sat out on their patio, which was secluded and quiet. The perfect armosphere for a catch up with friends or a date night. The food is delicious too. My favorite was the shrimp ceviche. On Wednesdays, they do happy hour specials on tasting flights! I really enjoyed the Mediterranean white flight. Their broader wine list is also incredibly diverse, representing many regions and flavors. I’ll definitely be back!“

“2026 Chicago Brewery Journey – Fourth Stop
Stopped by Maplewood Brewery & Distillery and it’s clear right away this place is popular—very lively with a strong crowd and a great energy throughout. The beer selection is extensive, so there’s plenty to choose from.
One interesting note—the space had a noticeable coffee aroma. Not a bad smell by any means, but a little unexpected when you’re there for beer.
Overall, a fun and energetic stop with a lot to offer.“

“Everything you could want on their menu trust me“

“Fell upon this place after a long hard day of work and what a treat. Emmy was warm and helpful, gave great recommendations and I had the most amazing burger and peanut butter shot ever! Such a beautiful old building with great Charm. A must see ♥“

“The Best! The best fries, the best steak sandwich, the best hamburgers, the best everything!“

“Delicious Italian ice I liked all the flavors. Prices are excellent“
