50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants West Dundee

“Pretty good place and service is wonderful.“

“If you're having a hard time choosing between the dairy queen across the street and here, go here! Nice venue, staff, and atmosphere. But most importantly, the ice cream is delicious! Best custard in the area, you have to try it.

Edit: Seems like the location has relocated west of the river. It used to sit diagonally from the dairy queen that's a few mins drive east of the new location.“

“First time there. It’s a 30 minute drive, but we plan to go back. Best ingredients done to perfection. We have loved Lou Malnati’s , but this is equal to if not better. Our family agreed. They drove 1 1/2 hours and said they would come back“

“Once you eat here, you will not want to eat anywhere else.“

“Stumbled upon this place randomly, and are so glad to have done so! The restaurant is cozy and inviting, the staff is so friendly, and of course, the food is spot on. We ordered the potstickers, bao buns, and beef curry and they were all hits!! Will be coming back.“

“Absolutely amazing menu items! My favorites are the açai bowl and the sweet tart refresher. Yum!! Excellent service as well. Highly recommended!“

“This place has the best ice cream. We come here in the summers and just happened to be close by today. It was all decked out for Christmas and delicious ice cream as always. I got a scoop of butter pecan and cherry chocolate chip. My son got strawberry and my wife got a cookies and cream/chocolate milkshake!“

“la comida,el servicio, todo mos gusta mucho“

“Literally the best theme brunches!!! So much fun with great food!“

“I ordered a kebab with a side of fries and fatoush. the kebab was delicious, soft and savory and the fries were crunchy enjoyable and tasty. Also the fatoush was juicy, yummy and had a hint of sour to it, Helen's customer service was sweet and friendly! that was one of the most delicious middle eastern foods I've tried in America so far. I recommend trying it out if you haven't yet!!“

“I would urge everyone in Cary to try their food. My wife and I are hooked.“

“We pulled up in our boat and the staff helped us to tie up our boat.
They sat us down right away.
The wait staff was very friendly.
The Pulled Pork sandwich and the Turkey Wrap along with the Bang Bang Shrimp were delicious. Great food and Great Service 👍 👌 😀“

“Delicious! Service was great!“

“Absolutely delicious pizza, apps and dessert!! Very helpful when planning a lacrosse team dinner for CG. Jill and her team are wonderful to work with!!“

“I finally got around to trying this place. I came here about quarter to noon on a Thursday. Initially, it was not busy at all. For some reason after I got my food, it became extremely busy, like people were waiting for tables to eat at. They have a bathroom or two, you have to go through the back of the kitchen. The parking lot when it’s not super busy is spacious. I think they have about 9 tables, give or take. I ordered the Italian beef (dipped, hot peppers on the side, sweet peppers on top, and mozzarella cheese) and the original famous hot dog. I got a large Pepsi but it was jumbo size compared to most places.

The Italian beef was very juicy. The giardiniera is mildly hot, not as hot as what people say. I liked that they gave me a ton of cheese and the sweet peppers were large. This is the real gem not the hot dog in my book. The original hot dog had a nice bite to it but it wasn't amazing. The fries were hand cut and crunchy. They give you a moderate amount of fries. Service was very friendly and fast. 4.4 on Google is more accurate to the experience than the 3.5 on Yelp.“

“Thank you!!! Staff was amazing as we celebrated the life and loss of our family member. Service⭐️ Food⭐️“

“This place makes me happy. Great staff, great food, adorable place!“

“Ordered from there twice and have not been disappointed. My wife loves their Mole sauce“

“I was there for a fundraiser last night. The food was really good, especially your salsa! Our server was attentive and kept track of our large group really well. We hadn't been there for a long time but will definitely be back again! Thank you so much.“

“Tonight I decided to venture out and try this restaurant my family has been RAVING about called Al’s Cafe in Downtown Elgin! I sat upstairs and had this lovely server named Marcie! She recommended the monthly special called “Moonstruck” and it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The ambience, service and food is unmatched! If you are looking for a great night out I highly recommend Al’s Cafe!“

“We had our rehearsal dinner here Oct 17. It was amazing. The food was allergy friendly. The drinks were great. Prices were reasonable. This is now in my top 3 favorite restaurants. Can’t wait to come back. Also the creme brulee was amazing. 🤤“

“Su comida es muy rica y ek lugar es muy limpio y muy atentos con sus clientes!!“

“It was uncomfortably loud in the room behind the bar. But the bar area was even louder. I asked the ser we if I could have the fried fish baked. She said that she didn't think so, but she would ask. So I ordered a salad. She brought the salad and the food for the other three at the table. We are. When we were just about finished she brought two very small baked pieces of fish. Hhhhhmmm. I did eat them. They were OK. We have been there before. Not super impressed. I can recommend the fried haddock. It is good.“

“Enjoyed a great healthy yummy family dinner 6 of us last night. Bison meat tender and I really enjoyed my warm Power Poke Salmon Bowl! Thank you for the great service!“

“Came in Saturday night and was the only customer, not one hello nothing. All 4 employees didn’t acknowledge me. I asked if my order was done and no response. Finally one lady said my name just put the box on the counter and walked away. Sorry my 6 pack order was an inconvenience. Don’t think I’ll ever come back. You lost a monthly customer.

Edit, the owner called me directly and had some kind words and reassurance it’s not how they run things. I will definitely come back for another try.“

“Great selections from $3,$4,$5,$6 plates, but it adds up pretty quick.

Update 6.2.26
Went here for daughter bday. Its been awhile and new things being offered. The quality of the sushi isnt the best but its ok. Prices went up a little since we were there years ago which is to be expected.“

“Los mejores tacos de la región y el personal muy amable y los dueños ya ni se diga mis respetos para don José muy amable ,además cuentan con una michoacana y muy deliciosas paletas y helado Amo ir a comer tacos a la alcancia…“

“If you like a super thin crust that is crispy to the middle, this is your pizza! Mozzarella sticks were handmade and fantastic! The cookie skillet was an incredible end to this meal. We also sampled the rigatoni and pasta scampi. We will be back!“

“Mmmmm Good Stuff! Best frozen dessert ever“

“The atmosphere, food, and service were well worth the price! One of the best places to eat around Algonquin!“

“The best Corned Beef around. Stopped in for a sandwich and all I can say is WOW! Added the homemade coleslaw and it was amazing! Great Views of the river abd sun was shining on the beautiful stained glass window accents. Service was great! Price was fair and we will return!“

“Large selection of proteins, vegetables, sauces, and noodles/rice. Very clean. Courteous staff.“

“I worked with Plank Road Tap Room to host my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour on September 27, 2025. First off, the process was so easy. I worked closely with Breanne and she handled everything so wonderfully. She was accommodating with our rehearsal time, clear with all communication, incredibly helpful day-of, and a total joy to work with. I am beyond grateful that I felt I was in such good hands the whole time. Also the ceremony space and outdoor trail made for some seriously amazing pictures that I'm still in awe over. I highly recommend PRTR for any event from casual hangouts to your biggest day!
