50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Prospect Heights

“The food surprised me here. The burgers and tortas are my favorite. The pizza is better when ordering a whole one than ones sold by the slice, due to being fresh. For having pizza in the name I was surprised that so much of the other food beats the pizza. The Mexican, the pasta, the burger, and app all rank higher for me than the pizza. It’s a frequent and convenient stop for me.“

“This is literally the best Subway I've ever been to. Mike is the nicest guy who is always there when I visit. He always remembers my order and will never let me forget the side of giardinara that I always order for my husband. This location also accepts all coupons, regardless of expiration. The actual owner (whose name I forgot - I only met him once) is a very nice guy who explained that his focus is on excellent customer service. Really rare for a fast food franchise owner. Love this place and will go out of my way just for the great service!“

“Bluegrass Restaurant is a wonderful, family-owned restaurant. We have been ordering takeout and eating in since we came to Highland Park three years ago. The owners take pride in managing the restaurant on a daily basis. They prioritize customer service, great food, and a warm, welcoming experience. Last night, they hosted the Highland Park/Highwood Professional Moms group. We had only expected 15 women to attend, but 25 women ended up coming. The owners and the staff were AMAZING. They brought over additional chairs. They provided us with top-notch service, including separate checks. They respected us when we were speaking to the group and quietly took orders in the background. I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant.“

“Great food and great servers!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Wild Pita Mediterranean Grill is a standout spot that combines freshness, flavor, and friendliness in every meal. The food is absolutely delicious—from the perfectly seasoned shawarma and tender kebabs to the fresh salads, fluffy pita, and creamy hummus. Every bite tastes vibrant and authentic, and it’s clear the ingredients are top-notch and prepared with care.

The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, always greeting customers with a smile and making sure orders are just right. Service is fast and efficient, whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, and the portions are generous without being overpriced. The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and comfortable—perfect for a casual lunch or dinner.

Wild Pita has that rare mix of quality, consistency, and warmth that keeps you coming back. It’s the kind of place where everything—from the food to the service—feels thoughtfully done. Without question, it deserves a full five stars.“

Everything from the friendly customer service at the window, the cleanliness of the shop, and the unique taste of the frozen custard, was top notch. Will definitely be coming back!!“

“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..“

“Yummy beer, welcoming atmosphere!“

“Sarpino’s Pizzeria is consistently excellent. The crust is perfect, the ingredients are fresh, and the flavor combinations are spot-on. Their gourmet pizzas and sides like garlic cheese bread are always a hit. Great food, great value—highly recommend!“

“Had the wonderful opportunity to enjoy breakfast at this fun little Cafe. Right off of Rand rd by Tony's Market in Arlington heights. Had the Popeye Benedict so yummy perfectly poached eggs and fresh fruit so tasty. Definitely worth atleast one visit but you'll find that won't be enough.“

“I was wanting to try Korean style fried chicken. I was not disappointed. The chicken is crispy, moist and just the right amount of spice. The menu looks so good, I had difficulty deciding what to get. I will definitely come back.“

“There’s a certain quiet magic in Tala Coffee, Highwood. The flavor here isn’t just good — it has depth, like a story unfolding with every sip. You can taste the attention, the patience, the care.

The space is soaked in soft, voluminous light that feels almost three-dimensional — it moves through the café like air, shaping shadows, warming wood, making everything glow just a little more than you’d expect.

And the atmosphere… calm but alive. Like a Sunday morning that forgot to end. A place where time slows down just enough to let you notice it.

Highly recommended — not just for coffee, but for the feeling it leaves behind.“

“I loved my visit to Tous Les Jours Bakery Café! The pastries were fresh, soft, and not overly sweet — just perfect. They have a great selection of cakes, breads, and drinks, and everything looks beautiful and tastes amazing. The café is clean, cozy, and very welcoming. The staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely a great place to stop by for coffee, a treat, or to pick up something delicious to take home. Highly recommend!“

“I absolutely love this location. A Chicago dog and fries after my long work shifts is the best. I'm really bad with names, but an older gentleman with glasses that was working tonight always goes above and beyond to make me feel better every time I come in late at night. The food is always perfect.“

“The food was great and the service excellent. Don’t judge this place by the outside it is very nice inside. Check it out for yourself your will glad you did.“

“Overall it was nice, they did keep messing up our order and not bringing our stuff, and when I went to pay the cc wasn't working, but I feel like these are all problems that will be fixed in time, overall a fun place that O would like to try again once it's better established“

“We tried this after watching Phil Goode’s review on their smash burger- we tried the burger, pork belly bites and the traditional wings with Jerk sauce and also XXX-Hot.
The smash burger was absolutely fantastic. Fries that came with it are seasoned but we think they would be so much better fresh cut. Pork belly also fantastic and melts in your mouth- The wings themselves we thought were a tad dry and overdone BUT were very flavorful. The Jerk sauce was very good. The XXX - hot has outstanding flavor but if you truly like spicy food it is not hot but again the flavor of this sauce is top notch. Staff was exceptional.We will definitely be back!“

“This place sports a cozy brick-and-mortar ambiance. They carry a truly unique selection of craft beers including a refreshingly tart apple ale. The service is top-notch and friendly. Not even the passive-aggressive patron sitting next to me could ruin my time here. I would definitely come back again.“

“Plenty of parking in back with rear entrance. Indoor and outdoor seating. Seated quickly. Beautiful interior with high top and regular height seating. Our server was polite and knowledgeable. The food came out quickly and accurately.
Bathrooms are clean.“

“Great place. Very friendly staff.“

“Went here on a field trip with two busses worth of people, and all went smooth. Although we're were served a different menu due to the field trip, the food was still great, service members were kind and attentive, and the area was clean and inviting. Owner was bright and fun, and the staff were each wonderfully selected people. Definitely will come back to try the Greek selection!“

“I bought a brisket from Felicia’s and it was outstanding. They trimmed the excess fat, so all I had to do was not screw up smoking it. It turned out awesome! Great place with great meats and even better customer service.“

“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!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I can’t stop raving about the experience! From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed by the vibrant atmosphere and welcoming staff. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh—seriously, even the water tasted super refreshing, which is a rarity!

I decided to try the marlin ceviche, and it was a game-changer. The marlin was perfectly marinated, bursting with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful. For my main dish, I ordered the huevos rancheros, and it did not disappoint! The eggs were cooked to perfection, complemented by a rich and savory sauce that tied everything together. Both dishes were so good that I found myself savoring every bite.

I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu. If you’re looking for a great meal, I highly recommend visiting restaurant! You won’t regret it!“

“The best coffee shop in Highland Park/Deerfield area! Best customer service and perfect atmosphere for work meeting, reading a book or grabbing coffee with a friend!“

“Stopped here on a whim, and I’m very glad that I did! Bit of a small indoor and outdoor seating area but cozy and authentic vibes nonetheless. More importantly, the food is top notch! The carne asada burrito was one of the best that I’ve had around in the northwest suburbs. The steak was perfectly grilled, juicy and flavorful, and the best part being there was plenty of it inside the burrito! If you’re looking for fresh, homemade, authentic Mexican food that won’t break the bank in the northwest suburbs then Taqueria El Comalito is a must try!“

“Great teas and doughnuts sunrise is my favorite !!“

“The food here was outstanding! I finally found my new favorite Indian place!!!“

“perfect foods...great decorations.. nice price...“

“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.“
