50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Carmel

“This is the best Thai place ever! It is not like all of the others around the area serving identical dishes, there are amazing chef creations/family heirloom recipes that will save your SOUL on your worst behavior day as a parent. Promise.“

“Love Monterey in Carmel! Beautiful restaurant, great service, and even better food!“

“Had a hot caramel macchiato with an extra shot of espresso, temp was just right to start drinking right away. It wasn’t too sweet but if you like a bold flavor I highly suggest the extra shot because I always get an extra shot and it was a little weak for me but it still tasted good I just like BOLD.“

“When I tell you I love this place. You have no idea I live about 2 hours away and will make a trip JUST to go here and eat. The burgers are fun unique and so appetizing. My mouth waters just looking at the pics. The fries are to DIE FOR! And if you like Garlic Aoli its only like .50 cents if I remember right to add it“

“Love the food, service was great .“

“Love their juices and smoothies!“

“Petos is a family owned, authentic Greek restaurant with amazing food, and fabulous & enthusiastic service. They always make you feel special every time! 10/10“

“Kara did an awesome job at making my tacos! They were delicious! I will be back.“

“I just have to share how great our experience at Bowlify was. My wife and I decided to give it a try, and we were both so impressed, not just by how delicious and fresh everything was, but also by how welcoming the staff and owner were. My wife loved the OG Crunch bowl, and I really enjoyed the Power Up juice. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel good about kicking off a New Year’s resolution or wrapping up the year on a healthy note. Definitely a five-star spot we’ll be returning to!“

“Looked online to find an authentic French baguette. Sent my husband on a 20 minute drive to buy a loaf. The lady on the phone said that their baker had learned to make the baguettes in France so they were indeed authentic. Husband returned with a $5.00 loaf and when I cut into the very small loaf, it looked like a whole grain piece of bread fom Kroger or Fresh Market. It did not taste like a French loaf nor did it have the texture of a French baguette. So disappointed in the whole experience and will definitely not return for bread!“

“Awesome donuts and boba! Always good when I go“

“Had the best tasting with Lee at Peace Water Carmel today! It's always a great experience and fantastic wine, but Lee went above and beyond to share information about the wine! Highly recommend 👌“

“One of my favorite place in Carmel!
Pastries 🥐 are REALLY good and super fresh baked! Not too sweet and with a real European taste.

Also the cappuccino is very good, hot enough and a delicious coffee.

I had for the first time the Tiramisu Latte and WOW it was a dream!!! It remembered me home holidays in Italy 🇮🇹

Ps. I only wished the white chairs were cleaner. But I sit on the brown leather ones 😅“

“always great desserts Customer focused workers According to Nyx, the BEST pup cups“

“Been wanting to try Hotboys for a while now and it did not disappoint. I ordered the guap fries (without the chives) and they were very good. However not sure I would get them again because they left me wanting for more of the amazing chicken which is the real star of the show. I ran out of bites of chicken way before the fries. The cheese and money sauce were both amazing, fries could’ve been a little more done. The money sauce reminded me of Jaggers sauce from Jaggers, which I also love. The chicken seasoning and crispness were great. I went with a mild + level of heat but next time I’ll definitely increase to medium or medium +. My bf got the Sando chicken sandwich medium heat and he really enjoyed his as well. Will definitely return to try a chicken tender meal and that breakfast burrito looks pretty good too. ? also liked the vibe inside and ease of parking at this location. Bathrooms were also nice. Service was excellent and very friendly/ welcoming.“

“The owners are wonderful caring people. I have dealt with thousands of companies throughout the United States with my business, and they are by far the most dedicated to customer service I have experienced. Although a little bit of a drive, this location is well worth the service you will receive. We have now moved our business to them and will use them only for all future orders and company orders. We will miss them for a couple of months; they will be closed for winter, but we can always buy a couple of gallons to get us through...LOL If you get a chance and are in the Carmel area, stop by and see what I mean when I say, "Rita's Carmel location is all about CUSTOMER SERVICE done right."“

“Solid pie and kids plate. Good service. Good beer selection (although they often “just ran out” of the one I order).“

“We took my boyfriend’s mother and her friend here to celebrate their birthdays last month. The food was great, the atmosphere and decor were dazzling, and the customer service was top notch. We especially loved the cake, chicken piccata, and the soup. We will definitely be back.“

“A busy brewery with a couple of food outlets and long queues for food. I had one beer, which was nice, then took my food outside. It was good, and there was live music being played in the plaza which added to the ambience.
The toilets were clean and well maintained.“

“This food was absolutely amazing! We shared 4 of the appetizers and all of them were delicious. The main course and dessert were fantastic. Also cannot say enough good things about the espresso martini. The atmosphere is so welcoming and the staff was all quick and kind. I don’t have a single complaint! We will definitely be back!“

“Yummy lunch drove a little out of my way in route home to Michigan.“

“Tried this place out for the first time yesterday. I have to say I WANTED to rate it so much higher based on the amazing service we received, however, the food and the price we paid for it is the reason for the three. The food itself was just meh. Like the looks are so good but the flavor was underwhelming. I wanted it to taste so much better than it did. Usually you can’t go wrong with teriyaki, but this teriyaki was pretty just alright. My husband and I got combos, an entree for my son, and one appetizer and it was almost 60.00. To be honest, glad I gave it a shot, but do not plan on being a repeat offender.“

“Awesome food and great service!!! Go for the Shrimp Tacos you won’t be disappointed!!“

“I have been to this location a few times and the food has been great every time. The service is a little hit or miss depending on the day. It gets really busy on Sunday’s, but if you beat the church rush it’s normally fine! The omelets and mimosas are favorites!“

“Came in with a group, we had the upstairs room then told we had to be gone by 7pm We reserved the room at 515. So with that said, servers ok. Food came at 645. Manager told the group that we need to be out by then. 7pm because it was reserved for another group at 7. He told us that the staff didn’t inform him about it. Really kinda not our problem at that time. We were 30+ strong. Kids and all. I walked out at 715. Doesn’t seem right. Not mad but a concern with staff and communication. Food good, service ok, slow at times , restaurant was not totally full. I could see open tables. Yes I would come back, but come on. The manager should have known of the situation and made a plan B the weather was in the 70’s they could have used the courtyard. Ok sorry done.“

“Good pour over Good hot cocoa“

“Great Jain-friendly poke, with options for sauces that don’t contain onion, garlic or egg: Spicy ginger and creamy sesame dressing.

Bubble teas were great as well:
1) Mango pomelo sago
2) Drizzled brown sugar milk tea (brown sugar jelly instead of tapioca)

Both drinks safe to order at 100% sweetness.“

“Divvy is one of my favorite places to go for an evening out! I always have a wonderful time. The food is delicious, the service is exceptional and the atmosphere is wonderful. I look forward to the next time I get to go! I can't wait to try the brunch!“

“Ask for Sarah, excellent service, drinks, and food!!“

“The lady who got our ice cream was so friendly and nice! Ice cream-how can it go wrong?“

“In my opinion, the best all around hamburger in the world. I’ve eaten them in seven different countries and consistency is premium with this company. Get the same thing you’d expect in every single country you visit them in.

You know it’s good when two year-old goes postal on them like this.“

“It was so lovely cafe patachou in amercia from sumi 🇬🇧 🥰🥰💝💝😍“

“Great place to hang out with friends“

“Here from VA! Hands down best spot to dine! My friend and I received the BEST customer service from Spencer! I tried ELK for the first time and the marshmallow sauce with the sweet potato waffle fries were SPOT ON, delicious!!! An experience I’ll never forget! So good, I came back a second time during my 2 week work stay, Chase was just as phenomenal! Bring bubs to VA!!! - xo, The Gals from VIRGINIA!“

“Despite running through the rain to get into the restaurant the restaurant was a fantastic experience. The specials they had was excellent for the price, the cheese on the sticks are out of this world. There were six of us and all six of us enjoyed our meals and the service we had was excellent. We will be going back.“

“Came here after the Indy 500 after we realized the sports bars were packed because of the Pacers game. We love our Jets at home and really just wanted to eat some warm good food after being out all day long.
THIS PLACE WAS BUSY. Wait time said 25 minutes and it was just about right on. The guy at the counter asked everyone who came in what they were waiting on, checked it, and gave an update. The line was working quickly and you could just tell everyone in there was ON IT. Bake, toppings, and accuracy were just as good as we get at home. A nice finish to a long exhausting day. Good management and good staff are refreshing to see - keep up the good work guys :-)“

“My wife and I went to the Java House booth at the Snap On 250 Milwaukee Mile. The staff was helpful and friendly. I had a decaf cold brew that was very good! I would have it again. My wife had a hydration drink that was good also.“

“LOVE the Mural of the King too!“

“Amazing food, friendly and quick service!!“

“We were in town for a soccer tournament this past weekend, and Fork & Ale House went above and beyond to accommodate our group of about 30 on Friday night. Jeff, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and made sure everything was perfect. Our server was awesome—friendly, attentive, and kept things running smoothly. The food was fantastic and came out impressively fast for such a large group.

If we’re ever back in Carmel, Fork & Ale House will definitely be one of our go-to spots. Highly recommend!“

“We go here often to enjoy music and some appetizers. We took a seat at the sofa like we have many times. 15 minutes in, we noticed only the bartender and no other staff. Another 15 minutes and no service. Off we go. We have had many wonderful evenings at Adagio, not tonight.“

“Good times! Solid staff!!“

“My favorite hobby is trying local joints from places I travel too. This adventure led me to this joint. I had the Spicy Bee & Bazbeaux Special (half & half). Both were good, but would totally get the Bezbeaux Special again…so tasty! If you enjoy light beers, I recommend Daredevil from a local brewery. My only con is the bottom crust wasn’t as done for me, but that is a personal preference (I typically ask for well done pizza). Would completely recommend to anyone looking for a pizza joint with a vibe!“

“I've been to many Starbucks and this one has the best tasting drinks. I will go out of my way to get my drinks from here. I order using the app and haven't had any issues either. Quick service, usually done before estimated time, and friendly workers.“

“Fun and enjoyable! Listened to him play in the past and tonight it was just so much fun for everyone. Enjoy!“

“Stopped by the Starbucks on W Main St in Carmel, and it turned out to be a solid location overall. The store itself is surprisingly spacious, with plenty of room to sit and a nice, open layout. Restrooms were clean, which I always appreciate, especially at a busier spot like this. For how busy it was, the place was packed, but the staff clearly had a system that kept everything moving. I did have to wait a bit longer than usual for my order, but given the volume of customers, it made sense. The biggest downside was the parking lot, which felt messy and unorganized with cars constantly weaving in and out. Once you’re inside, though, the experience is much better. A good stop for coffee if you don’t mind navigating the chaotic parking.

Efficient: Yes
First-Time Friendliness: No
Would I Return: Yes

“We only stopped by for a beer. The service was excellent. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food looked good but we already ate. Ordered the Church Milk Stout and it was delicious and smooth. At over 6% one was enough. Tried the Jack Ringo. Very hot finish!“

“Good quality food. Nice bar.“

“Your website trip advisor list them closed before 11 o’clock and they are not - they are open till midnight every night so TripAdvisor you need to sort that out they are not closed at 10 or 11 they’re open till midnight every night -all of the Applebees on the north side of Indy“

“Best staff on Sunday mornings. They work hard to keep Carmel caffeinated.“
