50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Niles

“Muy bueno muy limpio mucha amabilidad del personal ricos desayunos“

“I’ve been going to Minellis for years, they have the best Italian sausage, and great quality meats in general. Their homemade sauces are amazing! They also have a great Italian sub! Try them you won’t be disappointed 😊“

“Love this place. I've been here a few times. The hot chicken sandwich, nachos, and fries are always great. This most recent visit I tried a double smashburger with smash peppers, spicy chopped cheese, and onion rings. The burger was probably the best smashburger I ever had, the beef and bun tasted really fresh, burger patties were crispy and seasoned, and the sauce went really well with it. The chopped cheese was really good, and onion rings were crispy, hot, and seasoned. Highly recommend this place. Everything I've had there is good.“

“Delicious place first tome going today and I really liked it the pineapple green tea Nata jelly was super good. I’ll be going back for more.“

“I know you already have so many 5 star reviews, but I have to add my 5 star review. First of all, your bartender is amazing, so helpful and personable. Second, your food is delicious! The ribs were so tender and the fries so crispy. Burnt ends were also perfect. What a great dinner experience. We will be back for sure!“

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

“Absolute amazing experience. We did the tour which cost us 15usd per person and included tasting 3 different beers, already an amazing deal for the money you pay. Chris, our tour guide was very funny and easy to get along with. He deserves a raise for sure, shout out to him. I highly recommend doing the tour if you are visiting Chicago or are a local and trying out the tap room as well!“

“This place rules. Delicious deli style food. The chopped cheese is so good, comparable to one from NYC. I come here just for the chopped cheese but the breakfast sandwiches and other deli sandwiches are excellent as well. Service and staff are friendly and accomodating.“

“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 love this place, they have the best pitas in the city. Hands down. They’ve gone through I think 3 chefs in recent years as our waiter was explaining. But we both had the steak Laffa sand which and fries. 10/10 from both of us. It’s a sandwich I could eat daily. Tbh I feel like they gave too many fries, but they’re still really good, and the mango curry sauce mayo thing they give is unique, punchy and bright. We thought it was a curry mustard but it’s actually a mayo (I think).

We also learned you can buy the pita in bulk which is a game changer.“

“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.“

“I tried the pizzas last night. We had 4 different kinds and they were honestly soooo delicious! Can’t wait for you to open! This is GREAT pizza!!!“

“Loved the vibes. Great eats and staff. Drove three hours to come. Been waiting a long time. Was not disappointed“

“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.“

“Every time we come here the food and service is top notch! Prices are very aligned with what you receive & the competition. Im happy this restaurant is here, a breath of fresh air :)“

“good food and good service“

“Morton Grove location. Horrible customer service. Lost a lot of business like that.“

“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.“

“Eravamo in 4 a cena e siamo rimasti soddisfatti sia del cibo che del servizio . Il locale era pieno di gente ma la cameriera Maria ci ha serviti velocemente e in maniera simpatica e professionale. Le pizze che abbiamo mangiato sono state ottime. Ristorante consigliato.“

“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!“

“We understand why it’s named Gretel… if you’re wondering where Hansel is, he starved to death waiting for his burger. To be fair, it’s one of the best burgers you can get in Chicago BUT you should not come here if you have any other plans that evening. It took 30 minutes longer to be seated than they initially told us (over an hour and a half total). Once we were seated, pretty sure the waiter forgot about us at our table, but it didn’t really matter because the vibes were high 👌🏼 The drinks were great, but consider bringing your own because you’ll grow a five o’clock shadow waiting for your next round. The host, Jonah, was the shining star of the evening and was truly hilarious. But our waitress kept trying to argue that “well” and “well done” were different levels of doneness, so that was annoying (and slightly concerning). Overall, the food was phenomenal, but it was a very slow experience - the antithesis of “fast” food.“

“Enjoyed my first Hot Toddy here!!“

“Delicious food with very fresh ingredients“

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

“Go to spot for ice cream in the neighborhood.
A must after any dinner out.
They switch out flavors every month, keeping things interesting, and always have unique options to try.

No indoor seating, only an outdoor area.
Contrary to the name, being a food establishment, no dogs allowed indoors!“

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

“We love Malaysian food especially Peranakan! The portions are American hahaha but it's okay. The Char Kway Tiau, Nasi Lemak, Satay, Ayam Masak Merah etc., etc., etc. Just great food and the owner engages with patrons. Oh yes, Chili Crabs finger licking good“

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

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

“Amazing place! We're lucky to live walking distance from it, and me and my wife are regulars here. My go-to's are: sausage biscuit, chicken pot pie, s'mores pie, chocolate pecan pie, but you can't really go wrong with anything you order!“

“Great Custard, hot dogs, & Service!“

“Best coffee shop in IL, hands down. Pastries on point and rotate often. Espresso is always dialed in excellently. Been coming here since 2022 & never done me wrong, not once. Drew behind the bar has immaculate vibes among his other great baristas! Patio is a great spot too! Love the umbrellas!!!

Cocktails are bomb too, espresso martini & carajillo were awesome! HH from 3-6 has great beer choices!“

“We are neighbors to Lusha and very grateful for that so we can return often! Pizza is fresh, hot and with a crispy-yet-doughy crust. Desserts are made by the (very friendly) Italian owner and not to be missed. A great go-to in Lakeview for some 5 star pizza!“

“If you are looking for old school Italian with a modern flare, this is the place!“

“loved everything about it!“

“We drove down from Milwaukee. I’ve been wanting to try Tortello since they’ve opened and I found out that they source their eggs from where I get mine (they are the best). Dario was kind, friendly, and extremely engaging. The food was fantastic. We started with Focaccia Ricotta & Honey which was ridiculously good. I had the spaghetti pomodoro which was perfectly balanced sauce to pasta to cheese. My husband had the Cacio e Pepe and devoured it. Our son had the Kids Lumache and ate half (he’s only two) and inhaled the rest tonight. It smelled even better the second time around if that’s possible. Best authentic Italian I’ve had in the States. Felt great after too, not like I’d eaten a pound of pasta. If you aren’t making plans to go sometime soon…you’re missing out!“

“Came in with a friend who had never had boba before. The owner(?) recommended her a flavor and offered to make her a different kind if she didn't like it. She had brown sugar, I had taro, and my wife had a caramel latte boba. All were delicious! We also got the mini pancake bites which were fantastic. The owner(?) was super nice and gave us free water as well. If it wasn't a 40 minute drive for us we would be here all the time!“

“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!“

“Good Chicago style dogs. Relish is radioactive green, as our founding fathers intended. Good service and you can actually pay with a card. Fries were ok, fine but a little thin and dry. Italian roast beef was good. The peppers on the dogs are big so if you get too much in a bite it gets spicy but overall would go again!“

“LOVE Smack Dab!! I live in RP and walking to Smack Dab always makes my day. The coffee is amazing. The vibes are so cute and so are the folks that work there. Recommend 100/10.“

“We needed a place to stay close to the Concord music hall, and found the Leavitt St. Inn and Tavern. Every element of our stay was thoroughly enjoyable. The menu at the inn was a purposefully short, curated list of bar food, and everything we tried was incredible. The tavern had a great neighborhood feel, and the room we stayed in was well-appointed, and just right for my wife and me. We met the owners within a few moments of arriving, and immediately felt welcomed. I highly recommend the Leavitt St. Inn and Tavern to anyone looking for a hidden gem of a place to stay while visiting Chicago. We can't wait until we travel north again, because we know where we are staying! 5 stars! A++++“

“We hosted a corporate event for around ~150 guests with a full private buyout on a Wednesday, and I can’t say enough good things about the entire team including Pete, Gabriel, Frankie. They were incredible to work with - helpful, responsive, and made everything seamless from start to finish.

We brought in food trucks to the back lot, and their in-house BBQ was also a huge hit. Guests loved pouring their own drafts (such a fun, interactive touch), and we appreciated being able to bring in our own non-alcoholic beverages too.

The space itself is super clean, beautifully laid out, with a great indoor/outdoor flow and close to everything in the West Loop. 10/10 would come back here again - and I’ll definitely be recommending this spot to my clients moving forward!“

“First time there today, but I'll be back again soon. The coffee milkshake was so good, as was their cheezy bread! Can't wait to try more!“

“Chilled out hang out place with a fantastic selection of brews. Dogs are welcome indoors too, which is great as the temperature outside gets lower. You could also bring in food from elsewhere. I highly recommend this place if you are in the mood to spend some time outside with your two/four legged friends while sipping some delicious beers!“

“I literally had the best pancakes I’ve ever had“

“Hands down some of the best food I've had in Chicago. The charcuterie was a sensation. I had the best chicken Parm I've ever had in my life. I was there before the pearl Jam show, i wish so much I recalled my servers name, a guy who served us for outside seating. He was a delight. He knew his menu, he had great suggestions and was so friendly and professional. Thank you for a wonderful experience!“

“This is a hidden gem. Amazing! Must try great food, excellent coffee,“

“Some of the best grilled seafood in the city and that's saying something. Top 2 in the city along with Dees" IMO. Very seasoned without being salty. My guess is garlic. Crabs are my go-to. The corn, potatoes, and turkey necks are all tasty too.“

“One of the best restaurants and a must try place. Food was authentic South Indian. We tried kothu parotta (yummy) and goat biryani. It was sufficient for two of us. Gulab Jamun was not fresh. Other than that, everything was excellent. I appreciate the team, especially the cook!“

“The food is amazing: tasty and healthy. I love it. Thank you for also baking the Masala biscuit for our dinner.“
