47 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Willow Springs

“I've been dining here and holding family parties here for 20+ years. the interior and patio are beautiful. the food is excellent and the prices are competitive. But the service is exemplary. We had a drink in the bar before dinner and the bartender was terrific. we booked a table on the patio and as we were being seated my elderly mother asked if we could sit inside and they immediately and happily accommodated our last minute change. our waitress was wonderful and patient with the two senior citizens dining with us. I cannot say enough great things about Jens. it is our go to for every family celebration and many dinners in between.“

“Great place, great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, and great staff. I've been there many times for events, private parties, and just because l was hungry. Very casual and affordable. You can't go wrong there. Just like the pubs I've been to in Ireland.They have a great Reuben Pizza“

“We go to a lot of breweries, and this one was really good, just a bit understaffed. We did enjoy the beers (once we got them), and got some to take home. My favorites were the milk stout and the Flanders red. Nice large patio for when it gets warmer.“

“Since moving to Cicero in 2020 this has been our spot. Food is always on point, service is super friendly and they have an outdoor patio that we can bring our pup pup.Vegetarian options: There's always something vegan or vegetarian friendly.“

“Our server Anna was perfect. The ahi tuna salad that I ordered had a generous amount of tuna and very wonderful avocado slices, along with lots of other ingredients. The three people with me loved their choices also, especially the Neat burger with an egg on it. We shared carrot cake with caramel and a lot of nuts and the huge piece was more than enough for three over-eaters. This is place to pop into for a casual, delicious meal.“

“Always enjoy your place ! Our go to when visiting our children and grandchildren in Lemont ! Food is always great and the service is top notch and super friendly! We don’t even consider stopping anywhere else because I would end up there getting my fav meatloaf dinner for the ride home anyway ?❤️❤️❤️Kid-friendliness: They treat my granddaughter like the the princess she is and they call you by name“

“Love Rosati's in Midlothian! It's so good every time. Eveyeone that works there is very nice. We order all the time. Great pizza, salad, tenders, alfredo & the cinnamon sticks. Everything is always hot & delicious. Glad to have a place like this in Midlothian.“

“Its a great restaurant, been here many of times, upon my last visit our waitress was an older white woman with bleached blond hair! She was mad because the customers were done eating but hadn't gotten up from the table! Complaining about she's tired and ready to go home. I thought it was unprofessional! And!!!!! She didn't even get our order correct. I enjoy the restaurant, but I definitely don't want her to serve me anymore!“

“I go here 2-3 times a week to sing, drink and mingle with every customer. Everyone talks to you and the staff is the greatest line up anywhere. They love their customers and they like to have fun, as I have seen them dance to karaoke or just being silly with each other. The front deck is amazing and I can't wait for the fun meals once the kitchen is finished. I used to make this a once a year place, but now it is a must stop everytime if out for drinks. Thank you Eileen, Theresa, Karen, Darla and Tracy for making me feel welcome.“

“Love this local restaurant! Big fan of their breakfast!! Highly recommend the breakfast tacos and this morning I tried the SEC breakfast sandwich- absolutely delicious! If your looking for a new place to grab breakfast or lunch, try them out!“

“We came for Valentines to try the food and beer. The menu is simple and to the point. We both had smash burgers. Let me tell you, the burger was delicious. I went with the double and it was huge. I'll get the single smash burger next time. The cheese curd basket with ranch was really good. The atmosphere is chill, the food is yummy and reasonably priced. Oh and the beer on tap was nice and cold. Definitely coming again to try the pizza ? ?“

“Noticed you have a gluten free menu on our last visit, but here are just a few suggestions for gluten-free protocol:1. Server informed us that the sauces are not gluten free. Please confirm and, if not, mention this on the gluten free menu in the barbecue section.2. Server marked our order with a gluten allergy but the tray was delivered with the meat on top of (touching) bread. Maybe the bread could be put more to the side with the sauces.3. Fries are listed in the gluten free menu but appeared to be breaded. It’s possible that they’re fine, but please confirm for the menu.Thanks for accommodating!“

“My dining experience here was great, our server was Matt, he was very attentive, made sure our experience was great. The food didn't take too long considering they had a big party going on while we were seated. Definitely recommend coming in here ! And ask for Matt he won't disappoint!“

“The barista was friendly and made our coffee quickly. But it was lukewarm warm. Would recommend double checking before leaving. Also, the dog “Chanel” is not always there, recommend calling and checking if you are coming to specially meet her.“

“Do NOT sleep on the pineapple Dole whip or even just visiting Hole in the Wall! It is so, so delicious, especially the pineapple Dole whip (did I already say that?). It's so good that my chocolate-loving 5-year-old asked to go back before they close for the season for more pineapple Dole whip, because it in her words "It's even more yummy than chocolate!" Hurry, & stop by before they close for the season on October 8.“

“Discovered this place while biking to catch the BNSF back to Chicago. Usually would bike past to hop on the train at Western Springs or LaGrange Road. But one day I stopped short and popped in here. Really impressed by the selection of beer, wine, and whiskey. Before the Derby, they had three different bottles of Blanton's Bourbon. I asked for a smell (it's not Jimmy John's, I know) and they obliged me without so much as a blink of the eye. Quite an impressive wine selection. They are serious about their libations and happy to share their knowledge. I really like this place. Good vibe and great drinks. Check it out. Not sure why some clown gave it two stars. But reading that review, it's the poster who is confused, not the establishment. Cheers!“

“LITERALLY SO FRIENDLY!!!they serve really good matcha iced lattes! They have so much to offer. It’s such a cute coffee shop, they also have live music and free Wi-Fi.I had the bacon burrito with their red salsa (yum!) and the matcha iced late and it was so much cheaper then a venti and a sandwich at Starbucks. 100% recommended will be back ❤️“

“Atmosphere here is absolutely gorgeous. Service is phenomenal and exactly what you would expect from a French restaurant. Now food. For appetizer we got escargots and we loved it. Most amazing delicious tasty escargots we have ever eaten 5/5. We got wild mushroom soup and it is delicious. First time we found a place where mushroom soup tastes like mushroom soup 5/5. For mains we got Faroe island Salmon stuffed with crab meat which was good but not great 4/5. Then Chicken a la Kiev which was 4/5 as well. And Bison burger which was a surprise 3/5. For dessert we got vanilla ice cream 2/5, creme brûlée 3/5, ricotta and pistachio cake 4/5They do have a lot of wines to choose from, and the atmosphere is very ambient and relaxing. Usually food in here is great, but today was not a good day for them.“

“Loved the service and food. It is a very small cozy location, although I was told they will be moving across the street and expanding their seating. The staff was fantastic, I was there with my wife and baby and they were all very friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“The James Joyce is a local treasure. It’s the epitome of an Irish pub; friendly, good service, and a social gathering place. The owners have made it this way, and they will come by to meet you and welcome you. They have events like the upcoming “1/2 way to St Patrick’s Day”, and it’s absolutely worth coming by for a pint. Sláinte?“

“A HUGE variety of food in here. Of course, cheesecake is their specialty and the strawberry cheescake was fire. Pretty darn good in the jolly ol La Grange pals! Stopped by with my sis after good ol' Mak's house right around the corner“

“Our wedding was made even more memorable thanks to the incredible catering provided by Wooden Paddle. From the first bite to the last, their pizzas were a culinary delight, leaving our guests raving about the flavors and quality. Not only were the pizzas delicious, but the service was exceptional—prompt, professional, and attentive to every detail. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and they effortlessly catered to our diverse dietary needs and preferences. With their rustic wood-fired oven and fresh, high-quality ingredients, charcuterie grazing table, and artsy drinks they brought the flavor to our special day. If you're looking to add a unique and delicious touch to your wedding, look no further than Wooden Paddle. They truly deserve every one of these five stars!“

“Met a friend here for dinner. I glanced at the menu before arriving & there were several tasty sounding items. My friend & I split the tuna poké with chips ? I ordered the Derby Burger which was mouthwateringly delicious. My friend ordered the Greek chicken with Naan which also looked yummy & my friend confirmed. Our waitress was training but she did a great job ?? I would be more than happy to return!“

“Reached here by a mistake! And a good one at that ?Amazing brews and good music - they even played me a Ted Nugent (Stranglehold) on request ?We were hungry though and split from there to downtown! But the time spent here was just great! Quaint place for a good brew, good music and good company ?“

“The food and drinks were amazing but the service was even better. Our server Nicole made amazing recommendations, all of which we went with and had a great time. We recently moved to the area and will be making this one of our frequent spots because of her amazing service. Get this girl a raise, her level of hospitality was unreal.“

“I drive all the way from Darien to get there sandwich. Started going there 45 years ago and then I moved and came back and the original location was closed and I thought that was it. About 5 years ago while on Facebook I saw and add for Peppo’s. I was thrilled to know that they simply moved. Best sub sandwich you will find. I love subs and no one beats peppos“

“Found out about this brewery in Westmont and came to try a few beers. It's in a pretty hard to find location in some industrial area, the worst thing about it. Whiskey Hill is a funny name, as this place has beer, not whiskey. Oh well, what they have is still good. There's a pretty good selection including some hoppy and sours. A lot of breweries are in kind of strange areas. It's the case with this one. This is located on Vandustrial in a building it share with some offices and whatever. Lots of trucking companies around here. There's semis parked along the street. Anyway, the beers. It's about $6 a pour. It's not quite a pint but whatever. Even so, a pretty good price for a small brewery. Has many to choose from. Best was the 7 Mile Bridge. It's a Belgian Weisse with key lime, toasted coconut, and vanilla. A lot of lime flavor. This is almost like a sour to be honest. A pretty strong one at 7% ABV. There's not a whole lot on tap, but they manage to have quite a bit for a microbrewery to be honest. Get some beers on tap or take some of the cans to go. It's a small place but when it's warmer they have a patio. There's no food but sometimes there's food trucks.“

“Local Brewery with super friendly vibes. Tasty beers with wide selection of styles. Brown, Red, Hazy, Westy, etc.. Buckle has some good food options or bring your own. Mixed drinks available too. No pets, no smoking. Atmosphere is dark, relaxing and cozy. Beer fridge has cans to go, or fill your growler. Pacman and Mando pinball game. Merch is pretty nice too. Clean bathrooms and small outdoor area. Joe was a gracious host and very informative about the tasty beers. Park across street if full. Great service made it 5 stars.“

“This place is so cool! What an awesome atmosphere and experience. It was wild coming back to the area that I grew up in to visit my parents and find a place that felt like it should have been here all along.Great coffee and free old school/classic arcade games, along with board games and cider/beer options too. What more could you ask for?“

“If you want good lagers poured the right way, come here. Everything they make is great, and while it's a small menu, typically only 5 beers on tap, it's enough of a variety imo if their focus is on quality, which is seems to be. Whenever I come into Chicago, I make the pilgrimage to the berbs to visit Goldfinger.“

“My man Mitch welcomed us in tonight with open arms and the greatest hospitality. Our first time trying the joint after seeing several great reviews, we couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience. The pizza lived up to the hype: Understatement. Thin, crispy, and delicious. The old fashioned was smoky and sweet; shockingly good for a brewery. My wife had a sour and I had a light beer as well. Great all around. We will be frequenting this establishment for the foreseeable future. Did I mention price range was incredibly reasonable? 5 stars: Understatement as well. Thank you, Mitch, along with the rest of the NWB staff, for having us and giving us another go-to in our rotation of pizza and drink locations!“

“This place is amazing! Polite and helpful employees that walk you through all the flavors, clean and fun environment, and of course good-quality food and lots of choices. I have never seen an ice cream place offer so many different topings! On my ice cream I dared to try popping rocks, gummy bears, and sprinkles. It was a revolutionary combination! The employees were so nice, and one of them even helped me test out different ice cream flavors. Not only is the food good, but also the atmosphere. When I walked in, I was greeted by an enthusiastic sound of a bell. Then as I walked through the most beautiful light pink hallway, I saw hundreds of little signs and pictures. My personal favorite is the "Dog People Rule" sign! Inside the store there is comfortable, clean environment. You can bring your whole family if you want to. Although be aware that their busy hour is during 5-8 window, so you might have to wait for your order.“

“We came down from oklahoma city for my wife b/day and was craving wings but different, and we found this place, amazing wings, air fried not oil fry and full of flavor and crispy, the fresh hand cut fries are amazing, only wish there were more flavors to choose from, but none the less very satisfy, only regret was we found this place on our last day here and not sooner, the owner is very friendly, and easy to talk to“

“Food was amazing, staff was very attentive and friendly, great bacon, big juicy burgers, huge beverage selection, and fun atmosphere. One thing I especially appreciated was that it is a scratch kitchen where things are House made. Anybody can buy a already prepared food item, but when they house make things it is just so much better. Highly recommend and will definitely be back very soon“

“A cute place! The guy who was working made my boyfriends and my experience so much more enjoyable. He had a smile on his face and was very kind! The coffee and muffin were delicious and the shop is very chill :) we found a new Sunday morning coffee shop stop!“

“Food was great, had an egg and cheese crossaint, some spinach, avocado, mushroom, and cheese crepes, the house veggie burger, and crispy eggplant with polenta and goat cheese. The crepe came with only the cheese on the inside and other ingredients on top, and was more of a crispy rather than soft or spongy texture, so somewhat different than I had pictured but they were good. I'd order all of it again! Service was good and attentive. Food was a little slow to come out at times given that the place was pretty empty, but I wasn't in a hurry and was taking my own time, so I didn't mind that. Will definitely return!“

“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.“

“Gina and Fabian are amazing! My experience at the gym was fantastic. I’ve since moved out of state and it is hard to find a gym in my new location that meets my expectations after such an amazing experience at Focus. My workout plan was tailored to what I needed and wanted to meet my goals. The gym was never crowded and I never felt intimidated walking into the gym. Highly recommend open gym or one on one personal training. Thank you Gina and Fabian!“

“It was late and I decided to walk over and have a cheeseburger /w fries. Getting there was easy. On my way back home it got a little DARK. Need to remember Riverside has NO street lights. I had to walk more cautiously. . Tiptoe through the tulips. Ha“

“The food and service at True Food Kitchen were wonderful. Their seasonal selections and happy hour choices made finding fun food to share.The clean, bright and open dining space provides a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy a large selection of tasty choices. True Food Kitchen has plenty of vegan and vegetarian options that are great for those choosing a healthier plant based lifestyle.I'll definitely be back!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian choices on all part of the menu“

“I love Prasino. There is always something for everyone. I’m vegetarian and I never struggle to find something delicious on their menu. They also have a very nice children’s menu - my son loves the silver dollar pancakes. Everyone is always so kind and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming with lots of seating.Dietary restrictions: Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options.Kid-friendliness: Great children’s menu.“

“Love this place, karaoke nights, many game machines and nice re done pool table. Every time I'm in there there is a fun group of people and always a good fun time! Def. Worth a visit if your in the area or worth adding into your bar crawls !!!“

“I got the breakfast burrito with parfait, and apple fritter. The burrito was delicious, one of the best I've had recently. However the portions are quite small, which is disappointing since it was so good. The apple fritter was delicious as well, not sure if they make the pastries in house or not.“

“Burgers and sausage sandwiches are excellent here. The staff is incredibly welcoming and accommodating. When you come, your order is taken. The cost is quite affordable. The soup and fries are both excellent. Free sauce samples for your fries are frequently offered. There is typically parking accessible on the street as well as behind and to the side of the restaurant. They take care to only use premium ingredients. I'll most definitely be seeing them again soon! I recently went to this restaurant and was incredibly pleased with the meal and service. Now, you can place a phone order, and they will deliver it to your vehicle. As always, the service is prompt, quite amiable, and fairly priced for the quality of the food.“

“Delicious brownies. Stellar customer service that doesn’t just perform, but also makes you feel appreciated for stopping in. Super friendly that gives you that family vibe. I’m super glad my wife wanted us to stop in. Sufficed to say, we will be back.“

“Went with a friend and my daughter last night for drinks and dinner and thoroughly enjoyed my visit! Our server was wonderful and was spot on with drink suggestions. We had the “Lost in Space” cocktail and the “Roast & Hearth” and both were perfectly balance and delicious! The bao buns were amazing, as well. Definitely will be going back and highly recommend!“

“I have been looking for a good taco place to go to and I stumbled upon this place. Let me tell you they have great tacos here. The young ladies that work here are nice and welcoming. The food is very fresh and good. Price is reasonable. I had the two taco special and it was great. If you are looking for a good taco this is the place to go to.“
