50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Western Springs

“Our family absolutely loves Bb's donuts! We do miss being able to go inside the donut shop. So many wonderful memories taking our little girl there to eat donuts and read a book or two. We have a little boy with Autism and it's not safe for him to sit in front by the busy street because he runs. Wish we could go inside to enjoy donuts & coffee knowing it's something our son would truly enjoy.“

“Entering this place it can seem hectic if it’s rush hour. But rest assured the workers here are so efficient. The food here is so good! They have many combinations that attend to all palettes. Their smoothies are amazing I love the strawberry the best. I stop here whenever I can.“

“We dined at Hillgrove Tap for a Moms day out event today. They were fantastic handling our group. Service was excellent. Food was fantastic. And they were so organized.

“We were able able to make a reservation via Google, and when we arrived they were expecting us. The staff is really nice, took our drink order right away (coffee and waters) and then our food order soon after. I loved my endless cup of coffee and banana crepes. One person ordered chiquillas, which looked great. We added meat sides later, which came right away. The bill was totally reasonable (no separate checks tho, FYI), and everyone left full and happy.“

“Everything you could want on their menu trust me“

“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!“

“La mejor comida de todo lombard 🙂✌️“

“Have had both regular and boneless. Forget Wing stop and Buffalo Wild Wings. DAK DAK is the real deal. Huge meaty wings. You have to try these and you won't go anywhere else. On top of all that, it's fun to say DAK DAK“

“I have nothing but compliments for this wonderful establishment! My fiancé and I went out to dinner last night and had a taste for authentic Italian. I found this place online and read nothing but wonderful reviews about the food, and service. Located in downtown Westmont. Parking was so easy (right across the street), and from the moment we walked in we were treated like royalty. The manager Sergio greeted us with a huge smile, sat us, and told us a little about the restaurant. Our server Alysa was nothing short of amazing, knowledgeable, and gave us wonderful recommendations. We felt like family! All of the food is made in house, pastas, sauces, and even the wine and desserts! You can taste the quality of the ingredients, and tell that every single person puts so much care into making sure every customer is happy. The whole experience was wonderful, and it’s so nice to see small (not chain restaurants) are thriving. It’s been a long time since we had an experience like this at a restaurant and we appreciate their hospitality! I think we found our new date night spot! We will be back!! OFTEN! If I could give 10 stars I would! 👏🏻🍾🩷🙏🏻🫶🏻“

“La Parrilla Latin Food in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood impresses with its vibrant Colombian-inspired menu, featuring standout dishes like the perfectly grilled steak paired with flavorful plantains and rice, or the crispy empanadas bursting with savory fillings, all served in a beautifully designed space with colorful murals and a welcoming family-run vibe that makes every visit feel special. The portions are generous and prices reasonable, with options like arroz con pollo and fresh ceviche that deliver authentic Latin flair, complemented by friendly service and a lively atmosphere ideal for casual dinners or gatherings, though some items like the beans could use a bit more seasoning for that extra punch, and busy times might mean a short wait—overall, it’s a delightful spot that consistently hits the mark on taste and charm, earning a solid four stars.“

“This was absolutely amazing 10/10 recommend!“

“This was my first visit, and I will definitely be back. I stopped in to purchase cookies for my business clients, and Nawrus was incredibly welcoming and friendly. She gave great recommendations, shared the history of the store, and truly made me feel like she cared. You don’t experience that level of service at many places anymore. While I didn’t get the chance to taste the cookies myself, they looked delicious—and they absolutely wowed my clients!“

“Yummy decaf tea at a coffee shop? Yes! If you haven’t tried the toasted almond tea, please do. So good 😊“

“We were a fan of the fabulous food already. But when my husband and daughter planned a surprise Birthday party for me, we were VERY impressed. They said whenever they asked Ricardo for something the only thing they heard was: No problem! OR… Whatever you need! And ALL of our guests complimented the food and most took home doggie bags. If you need a party room and want to work with the most accommodating staff - give Ricardo a call. If I could give a 10 star rating - I would. I promise you won’t be disappointed!“

“the wings were so good absolutely delicious food and nice staff , good for hangouts and good beer“

“I recently visited Vannie’s House for the first time, and they did not disappoint. I ordered a strawberry smoothie, which was perfectly balanced—smooth and flavorful without any tart aftertaste. They were also offering a sample of their cinnamon coffee, and it was excellent. That’ll definitely be my next order.“

“I had a wonderful breakfast here early this morning around 6:20am, and I just wanted to say how great the experience was. Nancy was very nice, and everyone I interacted with was friendly. It honestly felt like one of those places where everybody knows everybody — a very homey, welcoming atmosphere.

The restaurant was extremely clean, including the bathrooms, which were well-lit and well-maintained. I’ve seen some negative reviews about the “rules,” but I didn’t have any issues at all. To me, they’re just letting you know clearly how they run things. If someone has a problem with authority, I guess they might take it the wrong way — but I personally had zero problems and thought everything was straightforward and respectful.

Overall, my visit was perfect. Great food, great people, and a really comfortable environment. I’ll definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful morning!

I also want to mention that I ordered my eggs over hard, and they came out perfect — not runny at all like some places tend to do. Everything was cooked exactly the way I asked.“

My absolute favorites are the Honey Lavender Latte, Pistachio Creme Latte, and Mocha. Not only do the coffees taste amazing, but the presentation is so cute!!“
