50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Thornton

“We ❤️ Thornton Distilling!! We come here regularly and I just realized I've never left a review encouraging others to check it out. The food and drinks are great (obsessed with the lavender lemonade they make in the summer), the bar itself is very cool and historic and their outdoor patio is dog friendly. My husband has done the distillery tour for his bachelor party and thought it was really fun. Highly recommend!“

“The place is beautiful and so neat! The staff is friendly and courteous. Our tour guide Kevin, was very knowledgeable about the rich history of the building and area. The drinks & food were delicious! I would definitely recommend a visit here.“

“This restaurant is great. Very fast service and generous portions. Lots of easy parking. Prices are very reasonable“

“This coffee shop is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is warm, inviting and perfect for relaxing, studying or catching up with friends. This place is also filled with beautiful greenery and gives such calm, and refreshing vibes. Ixxa coffee is top-notch- rich, smooth and clearly made with care and the teas are just as impressive. The baristas are super friendly, knowledgeable, and always make you feel welcome. Whether you’re here to sip a latte, browse the plants, or just soak in the cozy ambiance, this spot is pure perfection.“

“Food is always excellent!“

“I don’t often leave reviews but this was one of the best meals I have had in a very long time. It was the day before Valentines and it was busy. We were greeted and checked in by what I presume is a son or family member. So polite and attentive even at a young age. Our table wasn’t ready so the hostess personally walked us to the bar. When the bartender was busy the hostess took the time to get us glasses of wine while we waited. Again, it was busy but we sat in beautiful ambience while we waited for our appetizer of hummus, tzatziki and spicy whipped feta (which was my absolute favorite). They also served us bread made in house which was like little bites of heaven. My husband had the avgolemono soup which was uniquely served and delicious. We both got the souvlaki- my husband the chicken and I got the filet. We each tried each others and both were so flavorful. I purposefully did not finish my meal so I could enjoy it the next day as well. We have already discussed what we will try next time we come back, and we will. To sum it up (and I hope google translated it correctly) Katapliktikós (Amazing)!“

“Absolutely delicious, loved the sauce especially, had a cheese and sausage thin crust and basically ate half of a large to myself haha.“

“I love their food and sandwiches everything is really good“

“Yesterday I took the Sourdough Breadmaking Class with Chef George at The Ancestral Oven and I just pulled an amazing loaf of bread out of my home oven 24 hours later! Chef George provided all the necessary instruction and supplies - including a lively starter - for students to start their own sourdough journey at home. The class included hands-on experience feeding the starter, as well as folding and shaping the dough. I had a great time at the class and can't wait to return to try out the breakfast and lunch menu at The Ancestral Oven Bakery and Cafe.“

“Best bang for your buck. Delicious, fresh, great variety of food. Exemplary service.“

“First time Golden Bear in Lansing. The food and service was great. However, when I checked my bank account I was charged $9.98 more then the amount on the receipt I received from the register. When I went back the manager was very nice & helpful. She refunded the $. The restaurant receipt had the same amount. I pulled up my bank account & showed her the amount from my bank. We both thought it was so strange! Maybe the register malfunctioned? Again the manager was awesome!“

“Nice place, great atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“Food is good and Hot . Good service.“

“Love this place, but the dining area is massively reduced (March 2025). Might be just getting worked on (?), not sure, but had family in from out of town that loves this place too and we couldn't fit our group so we had to go somewhere else!“

“Best steak tacos I ever had! Seasoned very well & hot!! This is my only spot for now on because it's DEFINITELY worth the money!!!“

“This is my favorite place to eat , great prices , they have items on the menu that u can’t get anywhere else like the pork tenderloin dinner , it’s huge, double pork chop dinner around 20 bucks take you all day to eat it . Cowboy ribeye on the weekends is great ! I think I’ve been there like 25 times , staff is nice , owners are good people , they treat me like a regular“

“Very clean place ! Recommend“

“Food is always top-notch in my book! Wonderful service!“

“Mini blizzards were good. Got Oreo and brown batter.
$4 regular onion rings came with literally only 4 onion rings. $1/ring is crazy so that’s the only feedback. Will say they were nice and crispy tho but still either overpriced, but more likely the gentleman serving out too few on accident.“

“FOOD WAS AMAZING … CLEAN AND FRIENDLY.. ❤️❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“Small no dining great food! Also you don't wait long unless you order a lot but clean I hate they are cash only a Lil dangerous but who am I! Decent prices and food always hot n fresh from what I experience just ate there tonight orange chicken and spicy fried rice can't go wrong!“

“the staff.the food and most of all I will always return..and bring more friends.“

“The goat of goat tacos!! I've heard alot of people from the region say you have drive to the east side for authentic goat tacos. Not true!!! Right on Gostlin Street in Hammond is some of the most delicious birria you'll ever eat!! Free parking lot but limited number of tables inside!“

“Was looking for a late night bite and was recommended by a friends to try this place. Best decision Id made all day. Everything we ordered was delicious. This included a torta, burrito, tacos and rice. We chose steak as our choice of meat, which was seasoned perfectly. 5 stars for great food, quick service and great business hours.

Update 2026: Still amazing!! Best Pico ever!“

“Really good stuffed pepper soup. Also, when they make it, really good sloppy Joe. They don’t make either often enough for me.“

“Burrito Express is great for take out. It may not have a lot of ambiance but the food is really good amd they are always friendly. I asked for fajitas with no peppers and onions for my son with food sensitivity, and they accommodated us with no issues. The quesadillas are really flavorful and filling. They are a go to for us.“

“Will always be my number #1 chinese spot when I come home because every state I've been to does not have anything that gives me quality besides Indianapolis, so it's a hole in the wall and extremely outdated but still going strong.“

“everything is good drink food service they got it they welcome you like wow I wish they had one like this in Washington Seattle“

“This is a small yet cozy bar. Mostly regulars and I'm pretty sure it's cash only. Decent music selection, no food, an interesting dresser in the womens bathroom, a pool table, a few gaming machines and some booths make up this bar.“
