50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Bloomington

“This is by far the best bakery in town. They rotate their menu at least monthly, offering different flavors as well as classic stand bys. The pecan bar is a standout, but I've never had anything here I didn't love, whether that's lattes, scones, or cheesecake. Best selection is early and they do sell out“

“We were served by Abel, one of the owners. He was fantastic! Made our birthday celebration very special. We had a friend come late, and Abel brought him a meatball to try, on the house. Incredible, friendly service. We had the Crossroads, the Luigi, and the Margherita. I loved the ricotta on the Crossroads especially!“

“absolutely fabulous place and wonderful people“

“Beautiful grounds, friendly employees and great products. We had a great tasting at the bar getting 6 tastings for $15. They have decent dry red wines and some very good sweet wines. They also have options to sit down for tastings with a reservation and charcuterie items for sale to eat on site.“

“My favorite dessert is their cookie or brownie Sundae! I could eat them every day! Always perfect!“

“Annika was our server and she was so amazing!!! She checked in on us and made sure our food was prepared correctly. When my food had cheese on it by mistake, she was quick to get it fixed. She made jokes and was very humorous. She knew a lot about all of the beers as well and was able to recommend us a good one. Though it was loud, she still took all order correctly and was very kind to us.“

“Good wine, Friendly staff.“

“Fantastic food, drinks and staff! Keep up the great work!“

“Beautiful, spacious modern decor. Impressed by the esthetic from the moment of entering. Food was excellent. Got the baby beet salad. Very good, but I think the beets (fewer perhaps) should’ve been chopped into smaller pieces with more strawberries and greenery. Very filling. I had the roasted eggplant for my entree. Wonderfully seasoned, served over a bed of white rice. I would definitely get it again. My desert choice was the blueberry cheesecake. Scrumptious! The staff was very friendly and efficient. Will definitely go back. Nice outdoor patio area as well. Thumbs up!“

“Thank you for hosting our party yesterday. It was so fun and easy and relaxed! Everyone raved about the mochi muffins.“

“My own version of Cheers. Come alone, leave with a few friends in your pocket! 😁“

“Nashville location was perfect for a gluten free birthday meal and drinks!! Try the Pink Pony and dip platter! Huge selection of tequilas. Julia and Shawn were personable and timely!“

“A hidden gem! We love Korean food, and this place is a must-visit whenever we are in Bloomington. Their tuna kimbap is so good that last time I ordered it twice! We also had their hot stone bibimbap, which tasted great. I ordered the omurice as well—it was good, but probably not a must-try. We sat outside and really enjoyed the summer evening.

Parking nearby can be tricky, but paid street parking is standard for most places in the area.“

“Amazing food and incredible service! Loved it. We are visiting from out of town and will definitely be back when in town.“

“Their food and drinks are delightful. As a gluten sensitive girlie their menu was very accommodating! I love that you can make a reservation online and that they switch out their menu with the season. If you're in btown and looking for a nice meal and fun beverage, I can't recommend them enough.“

“crab Rangoon was so good. portions was really big“

“Megan wall our server was amazing. She checked on us the whole time we were there! Five stars for her⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Our evening was very enjoyable, and everyone in our party was pleased with their meal. What really made the experience stand out, however, was our server, Maria. From the moment we arrived, Maria was warm, welcoming, and accommodating. She was attentive throughout the evening without ever making us feel rushed and made sure we had everything we needed. Her friendly personality and genuine attention to our table made an already enjoyable dinner that much better.
Thank you, Maria, for taking such great care of us! We will definitely be back.“

“Great people! Great Food! Definitely recommend“

“The best donut I've ever had. The best donuts in town.“

“Grabbed lunch today and the food was made fresh and fast. We were all thrilled with our food! Crab Rangoon… 🤤. Fried rice, dumplings, the spicy coconut soup with ramen, spring rolls, and Thai iced teas…all delicious!“

“really amazing brewery one of my favorite places when I ride the Greenway now all they need is live music but food and beer are 🔥“

“We knew from our first meal at Scenic View that it would be a favorite. Our family of four went on a summer Saturday at around 11am and, while there were definitely plenty of people there, we were surprised that it wasn't busier. We sat inside but could have happily eaten outdoors and may do that next time we visit. I wouldn't recommend eating here if you are in any sort of a hurry as the food did take quite a while to come out of the kitchen, but it was absolutely worth the wait.

We ordered generously, including the way better than expected fried pickles and very good spinach and artichoke dip. Both came out super hot and very fresh and were way better than what we get at most places around Bloomington. My mother ordered a crock of the French onion soup and was surprised to receive such a large portion of great quality soup. All of our entrees were prepared perfectly and just much better than we expected, including breakfast, sandwiches, and burgers. Two of us are vegetarians, and we loved having multiple menu options to pick from rather than the usual one menu item (or the classic salad and fries combo).

This restaurant could easily coast on average food due to its great location, but instead they really seem to take pride in putting out a great meal. It wasn't a cheap meal, but every dish was generously portioned, freshly prepared, and really worth the price. We'll be happy to be repeat customers.“

“We love this restaurant. My friends come here a lot and this is my second time visiting here with them. The food is so good. I think it's one of the best restaurants in the city. We ate it all before I could get any pictures. The owner is so nice and sweet. Can't wait to come here again.“

“Went for some dinner with buddies, left with a new outlook on life and relationship building. While I’ve only been around her for 2 hours, Suzan has changed my life for the better. She is the nicest, most welcoming, quick-witted, and incredible hostess I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Suzan, I wish you the best and would like to leave you with some advice: “don’t go changing”“

“The food was good.
I ordered my usually where I cannot get back at home. My husband's order shrunk in size from a 1.5 month ago.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who experience this as it happened to me in Oct/Nov last year and my husband said I was over reacting.

Today 4/18/26 dinner, my beef broth was way too salty. 1st time trying it. But the appetizer seafood pancake was extra good today.“

“I both deliver bowl and smoothies from them to customers from door dash and I order for myself. Always very clean and quick to prepare delivery orders and personal orders. The Green RX was delicious for a green smoothie. The bowls with almond butter are also filling and wonderful! For nutrition and fuel you cannot go wrong stopping by Rush Bowls! 😊 🍃“

“The business is laid out so that one side of the building is the Lan Ramen/Noodlemaster restaurant, the other side is the bubble tea shop, but you can order bubble tea from the restaurant side too. I came for bubble tea and some snacks, and so I ate in the restaurant.
I got the celery and yuba dish, a scallion pancake, and a rose oolong tea with cream cheese. The food was okay. The celery and yuba dish was tasty but was mostly yuba with just a few pieces of celery. I expected and would have liked closer to 50/50 yuba/vegetables. The scallion pancake was a very good pancake but a little light on the scallions. The bubble tea was excellent, with good quality tea. I'd give 3 stars for the food and 5 stars for the drink.
The restaurant has waiter service, but the waiter brings you a tablet to view the menu and order from and then takes the tablet back when you're done ordering. I guess it's not a bad thing, but I've never seen something like this before, so it was just weird. You pay normally with a machine, not through the ordering tablet. The people were nice though. The restaurant is small and the layout is a little cramped, but it looks nice and the chairs are comfortable. I'd come for bubble tea again rather than for the food specifically, but I might get an appetizer again to go with the drink.“

“Great beer!!! We loved Tropical Vortex!“

“Great ice cream shop with lots of flavors and options to choose from. They even have cookie ice cream sandwiches, which are a fun and delicious treat. Definitely worth stopping by!
Very friendly staff and has seating both indoor and outdoor.“

“I love Hive! Great place for vegetarians!“

“My first time visiting this place yesterday. I enjoyed the whatever bowl. I will be returning tomorrow. 😊 The ladies at Virginia Beach store was very welcoming and friendly.“

“this place is amazing I had one and I am definitely going back for another one“

“Great steaks 🥩 Great service“

“Hands down the only place I will get gyros from in Bloomington. They load up the meat and the sauce is amazing! Also recommend the fried mushrooms and pizza puff....just like we had in highschool! Will keep going back for sure, never had a bad meal yet from here and it always tastes the same!“

“I never write reviews on restaurants, but this one deserves the recognition. Friendly & welcoming owners, delicious food, and a relaxing atmosphere. We are looking forward to our next visit.“

“Love it! First time trying this place and it's great! Prices are good and the service was even better. The lady up front was extremely nice and knowledgeable when it came to my wife having a gluten free issue. And the gluten free options are really good. We will be back! And you will take my tip next time lol. The lady up front is very very very very nice. Thank you“

“Excellent in every aspect. Great food, service and staff. New owners are also very friendly and definitely putting an effort the business and very accommodating, even with the current situation. Please give them a try if you haven’t yet.“

“Lark Bloomington is a Student Living Property and during the summer we prepare for Turn season. The team work longer hours prepping for incoming residents moving in and Wendy’s was gracious enough to partner with our property in donating food for the team. The food was amazing and the staff really appreciated it this!“

“Our first visit. Food was tasty, server was pleasant and helpful. It was very kind of the manager to take care of a special request.

Overall: Excellent.

The only negative: they don't have vegetarian items. That can be a drawback in a university town where many people are vegetarian. Not an issue for me though.“

“I ordered a Ruben and when it arrived the toast was black and burnt. I never complain so I said nothing and tried to eat the sandwich but the toast was very hard. After trying to eat it I just gave up not wanted to be a bad customer and make my two adult friends uncomfortable. I just paid the bill $70.+and gave the server Emily a $20. tip. My friend ordered one of her usuals but the sauce was not what she normally gets. We were told that the cooks sometimes use whatever is available and finally just sent out a replacement with NO sauce. She finally just gave up and ate whatever she ordered. The third friend her husband avoided the situation. We finally gave up and I paid the bill with my Sky Miles AMEX card total $90.+ We came into the restaurant probably around 7:30 or 8pm. Sorry for the bother but it bothered me I've lived here since 1972.“

“We were delighted that we were treated to a live jazz music from IU School of Music students. The food was all freshly made and you could tell. It was all delicious and portions generous. I had veggie chili, fries and side Caesar salad. They had several options for vegetarians. Our server was attentive and friendly.“

“batista Eve or Evie drew cute Halloween art on my cup. it made my day!“

“Still feels the same as it did when I was a kid Togo there with almost my whole family. Food was always good, and sit outside enjoy the summer days. Staff was always helpful, nice,made you feel comfortable. From my last visit,last week,it's still the same.“

“Came in wanting a quick meal and drink, Was welcomed in as soon as i walked in and was undecisive on what to get so the barista gave me a solution and helped me end up getting Chicken Katsu with Curry And Chocolate milk boba Tea and It came out fast and fresh, It’s been so long since I’ve had anything with as much flavor in both the drink and the food, I commuted quite a long drive and I will definitely be back, they also have board games if anyone wants to come out study, or chat and play with family or friends, Highly Recommend.“

“We had a larger group including family from out of town, and they accommodated us easily!! The food and service were both great!!“

“I work right around the corner from the Starbucks on Indiana, and I try to make it in there a few times a week at least. Today I placed a mobile order to run and pick it up and make it back to my store quickly, but as I was leaving we had a customer walk in and I was unable to get up there for a great amount of time to pick up my coffee. When I went to pick it up, they offered to remake it for me since it had been sitting there for so long. It really made my day! They're always the greatest, and kindest, and I really love going to this Starbucks. 10/10 would recommend.“

“the food was soo good I'd recommended to any one who loves pizza“

“Every time I’ve stopped in at the drive thru Anthony has been working. Anthony is great at what he does, always has a smile accompanied with a small conversation. I leave with a smile myself! Thanks Anthony!“

“If you get food here, please be kind to the younger kid (teen) who works there (he wears a Turban) and tip generously. He works 60hrs a week and gives all of his earnings to his parents. He is a very hard worker and he is always kind and professional. I call him out specifically also because the other guy who works there who is a little older (probably 22ish is terrible and rude.)“
