50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Worth

“We have been to Melinda’s a couple times now and we absolutely love this place!!!! The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is amazing! Great live music on the weekends and trivia night was fun as well!“

“The food is tasty but I was shocked by the quantity of meat in my gyros plate. It was just a gyros sandwich in a container with fries and fixings. Everywhere else I get a gyros plate it has enough meat for 2 or 3 sandwiches.the subs seemed to be lacking meat as well. Again first time getting it there and was just surprised.“

“I absolutely love the vibe at Afro Joe's. The beverages & food are always amazing. I order online, grab it & go when I have to keep it moving. But when I have the opportunity to sit and chill, it's a whole vibe and I LOVE IT! Great job Aisha & Kendall Griffin!“

“Food is always excellent!“

“Great atmosphere! Amazing Service! Perfect for gathering here when meetups occur! I always bring a crowd of attendees with me from Galloping Ghost Arcade here for the fur meets I run just blocks down!“

“Found metal in my food and the staff was Very Rude about it!“

“Best Hot Dogs in Chicago! I drive from Indiana just for a Mighty Dog!“

“Even though Monday was closed I was able to place my order online very straight forward like ordering a pizza. My order was ready by the time it said it would be. The cake was 3 leches and it was delicious. I definitely recommend and will buy again.“

“OMG! We found this place on a whim, looking for GF in Oak Lawn for last minute lunch options. Stumbled upon this GEM! I am no vegan, but the flavor profile is so spot on. Casandra was so amazing, putting together a random taco tray that was so delicious! And A+++ for presentation! Thank you Abuelita Coco, we will be back :)“

“Excellent brews. Very welcoming bartenders. Meg is a gem. The crowd is friendly. The food from Heffer BBQ is delicious, prepared by pit master Shawn and his charming wife, Lenore. The tap room is large, modern, and accommodating. Whiner Beer Company and Heffer BBQ are both highly recommended. 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Our Women of Impact group had a celebration dinner Thursday evening February 2nd. ✝️ We were treated like royalty. 👑 Delicious yummy food and the service was outstanding! 😋 Thank you Kristen and Tacho for your excellent service and helping us to celebrate! 🎉 We will definitely be back soon!💕“

“an instant superstar in this community, people will come from near and far for this quality of Italian.“

“Stopped in here for lunch for the first time and let me tell you I was blown away! Great prices great food! Definitely going to be the spot from now on!!“

“This place is awesome. 10/10 I brought my two little ones and forgot to say that I wanted them unseasoned. Abraham gave our kids free unseasoned fries even though it was my fault for not asking. They just got a customer for life!! Definitely recommend this place!“

“Thank you so much Cafe El Menson for your generous donation to my kindergarten classroom today. My students really enjoyed the Arroz con Gandules. I cannot thank you enough!“

“We’ve visited the Belvidere IL location for both dine in and take out since it opened. We have yet to be disappointed except when the delivery person (me) accidentally tipped a VERY hot pizza to one side, moving the toppings askew! 😂 Great service and they always offer our “usual” and/or specials!“

“If you care about people and food, this is the place. Great food created and served by great people. The folks delivering this experience outperform every time and every day. You can tell ownership cares and takes great pride in excellent food and service!🤩“

“We stayed in our RV on property as part of our Harvest Host membership.

We each had a sampler where you can try up to 4 meads, which is made from honey. They have one that tastes like pino grigio (dry meade who knew), another that takes like apple pie (delicious), another like PB & J (yummy), they have spicy mead (very hot and delicious), etc. They were all delicious! Most of their meads are gluten and dairy free with the exception of the meads fermented in bourbon barrels.
I would love to come back for a paint and sip party and other special events. They had candle making tonight.
The outdoor seating in the back is a beautiful garden setting perfect for any occasion.
This is an amazing find!“

“Thanks for the vegan offerings. My family and I enjoyed our meals very much. Super tasty!!!“

“Fun, down to earth, good food and the owner rocks!“

“Peppo's came through for our unit when we needed to feed an entire squad! This was our first time with Peppo's and it was great! We definitely will be ordering from here again.“

“Fabulous atmosphere, killer "naked" wings, tunes, and staff. Highly recommend.“

“We went there today for breakfast. The eating area was nothing special but it was clean and nice enough for us to dine there. The food was pretty good as well. We tried the bacon egg and cheese sandwich and the cheese and jalapeño sandwich (our favorite) as well as a coffee and a hot chocolate! Everything was pretty good. In fact we decided to take a loaf of the jalapeño cheddar sourdough and some sweets home after we were through eating. Our only complaint was the gentleman taking the orders. He has absolutely zero personality and as the face of a place like this, you need to have someone willing to engage with customers. We never saw him smile once while he was dealing with us and we had two transactions while we were there. The bread is amazing. I just hope that the front of the store doesn’t keep people from returning! Just our 2 cents!“

“Teresa was outstanding great atmosphere“

“Great vibes! Super fair prices, clean space, enough parking.“

“Fine folks - Good staff workers that take photographs as well“

“1st time. Service was very good and friendly. Guy with the black curly hair super nice. Food was good. Had salad, soup, and a latte. Will be back.“

“OMG Betty ice cream is the very Best ice cream in Chicago. I been coming here for many years. The elderly husband and wife are so kind and wonderful service. Best prices and great large portions and please ask them to dipp your cone in frozen chocolate is incredible. Sometimes is big line but is worth your wait and bring cash. There old school elderly couple with no credit card. Only cash“

“We had a wonderful experience at Burger 21! Delicious food (burgers were amazing, milkshakes delicious!), prompt service, clean dining room and even a handwashing station! Highly recommend! We will be back!“

“Brothership is our neighborhood staple. It’s by far the best one around. The cleanliness is superior. The beertenders are superior. The beer quality is superior. Somehow Brothership nails every single style they brew! The place is excellent! #CDL“

“Food was great and the paper and carrots were fantastic. I'll definitely be back again“

“Great food and great bourbon selection. But the bourbon is not on the menu you have to ask for it very good. Wait staff was excellent as well.“

“The best. Chilaquiles and pancakes“

“I stopped by today and tried the Shortcake Latte—easily one of the best specialty drinks I’ve had in a while. It was super smooth, sweet in the right way, and really unique.

Rami took my order and was great the whole way through—friendly, fast, and made the drink perfectly. The place has a nice vibe too, so it’s definitely somewhere I’ll come back to.“

“Jen’s is amazing. The outdoor patio is set into The woods of the forest preserve. Definitely feels like a special occasion every time you’re there!“

“Great bartenders with a great atmosphere.“

“While in town, a friend suggested to meet at La Crepe Bistro for lunch. When we arrived, there was no parking which indicated that it is quite the spot! After circling the parking lot for 5-10 minutes we were finally able to snag a spot! We were asked if we had a reservation (we did not) and the server said they only take reservations that day but we’re able to fit us in which was great.

We were able to get a cute table for the three of us and were promptly greeted by the server. I really don’t know if she even told us her name, but she was okay. Not very friendly but their dresses and hair were stunning! Really fits the vibe of the bistro theme so that was fun.

The menu is incredible and has a wide variety of options. There is definitely something for everyone. I ordered the croissant sandwich that came with a choice of ham, Canadian bacon, or bacon. Opted for the bacon. It was absolutely delicious. Skip the mustard on the sandwich though, it was a little too much. Fries and fruit were great! Before I even had the chance to ask, the berry crepe was already devoured so I think you can assume it was amazing! The burger was also good I was told. Everything was fresh and the presentation was very cute.

Once we were done, we stayed for a bit to catch up and chit chat but we were getting the impression the servers wanted us to leave as they almost immediately dropped off the check and were hovering around the table. Finally, we decided to leave because the looks just got uncomfortable and as we were putting on our coats to leave they were already clearing the rest of the table rolling their eyes. Kind of disappointing considering it wasn’t like people were waiting for a table or anything.

Overall, atmosphere and food was fantastic!!! We will definitely be back but will take our time eating so that we don’t get the boot or ugly stares by the servers.“

“We held a celebration of life for my brother here today. About 50 in attendance in the stylish, comfortable upstairs area. Despite the fact that I planned this from 400 miles away and without having ever seen the venue, it went off without a hitch due to Mr. David Candiotti and his staff. No surprises. Everything was as promised. The venue is extremely stylish and rustic. Food was delicious and plentiful as were the drinks. Service was fast, efficient and friendly thanks to Mona, Alberto and Olena. I highly recommend.“

“THE place to be in Blue Island! Alan & the crew have been so welcoming to our entire Witchorama community! This place really knows how to host an event. We love it here! Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good time. 👍👍👍“

“Pyszne jedzenie, miła obsługa bardzo pozytywna atmosfera. każdemu z czystym sercem polecę. owoce morza pychota. Bywam prywatnie i z grupami i każdy wraca zadowolony“

“Best Gyro's in town! Generous portions and A great Staff! 5⭐️ Always friendly, welcoming and smiling!! Casual atmosphere and nicely decorated for every holiday! smiling!“

“I go to this location quiet often, but I was extremely disappointed as well as angry with what I saw today at this location. (3/9/25 at 5:35pm) The 3 customers that were ahead of me placed their orders were first timers I found out. The young lady that was fixing their smoothies dropped a cup on the floor, picked the cup up from the floor then sat the cup to the side. As she finished one smoothie she pulled a fresh cup, then the 2nd smoothie she proceeded to pour it in the cup that she picked up off the floor. I told the young lady that took my order, so she then pulled the young to the side to tell her that I saw what she did then she looks at me and says "I'm Sorry" (I said to her): What do mean you are sorry, why would you do that, and why are you giving that to her, you need to remake that smoothie ...and guess what she did not. I'm just want to make people aware: Watch the people that prepare your sandwiches/smoothies or anything of that sort. It's not their stuff, they're not paying for it so they don't care. That was just the epitome of nasty and extremely unsanitary. She didn't have on a Tropical Cafe shirt, she had on a gray shirt, she may have been new, I'm not sure but we need to learn to do better when working with the public. Don't do things to people that you don't want done to you!!!!! FYI...the name on the ticket was: Shelia G“

“5 star service Authentic Mexican Food The tamales are absolutely amazing I’ve been here several times and it’s amazing every time.“

“Hands down the Butter Burger was the best burger I have ever enjoyed, and I have thrown back a few burgers in my time...😎“

“We enjoyed so many of the food options! Some of our favorites are tacos, bowls, and burritos! The restaurant is clean and the staff are kind and attentive.“

“Fabulous food, drinks and service. The decor is modern and comfortable. Staff was very attentive and allowed us to stay after dinner and you didn't feel rushed. Lighting was lowered while we were there but that touch added to the ambiance. The meal was delicious and larger than expected at a fair price. We had burgers with roasted potatoes that were seasoned perfectly. Staff made sure we had water as compared to many establishments where you have to ask for a glass of water. Will return to try other items on the menu. Parking on the street and in a lot which you can access in the middle of the block was nice.“

“Bocce league is fantastic!“

“Had the Marley with chicken instead of a burger with provolone and the Korean bbq sauce and oh man…. So good; I can’t wait to try more things out! Pretty chill atmosphere too, looking forward to checking out the patio in the warmer weather. Highly recommended and I’ll be going back and back and back again.“

“This is a great place to grab/dine in for Breakfast whenever you are taking the Metra to Work.“

“An excellent local restaurant for Italian dining in the south side of Chicago. The minestrone soup is excellent. Chopped salad is a favorite of my wife. Any of the veal or chicken dishes with Limon or marsala are also excellent. Service was perfect. Would highly recommend“
