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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Love their juices and smoothies!“

“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 .“

“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“

“Chicken is consistently good. Must try the étouffée, and you will think about it often.
Kid friendly- kids eat free T/Th. Really good cocktails, and they have an awesome DJ on the weekends. Casual and easygoing atmosphere, staff is attentive and anticipatory.“

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

“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“

“Definitely my go to spot in Carmel, and Connor behind the bar is my go to guy. That guy has a deep knowledge of beer and always has the perfect suggestion for what to try. With how deep the menu is on their rotating taps, it’s nice to be able to talk with someone who can ask about your tastes and immediately know what to give you. It definitely turns each trip to Sun King an experience, and you don’t get that just anywhere. Couldn’t recommend Sun King or Connor any more.“

“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."“

“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.“

“The food here is absolutely decadent. We’ve eaten here a couple different times and they never fail to impress. The hospitality is top-tier, and the atmosphere is unmatched. 10/10.“

“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 wanted to share a positive experience with the Hazeldale Patachou. My 10-year-old daughter, lost her retainer and the hostess on the shift and one of the bus boys went into the back and dug through the trash to find her retainer. I truly appreciate it, they went above and beyond their job descriptions.“

“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!“

“Good pour over Good hot cocoa“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 🇬🇧 🥰🥰💝💝😍“

“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.“

“Great place to hang out with friends“

“Tried this restaurant for the first time yesterday. I could go back today!(lbs)
Atmosphere, Service, Food EVERYTHING was amazing. We asked our waitres(Leah)so many questions 😂 And she had answers an honest opinion for all of them. We listened and was not disappointed😌“

“Patty welcomed us and Brenda was very attentive! Our lunch was perfect! They have a nice variety of items on their menu. Great atmosphere and they have their patio enclosed during winter weather!!

We were pleasantly surprised to meet Patty when we were contemplating where to eat. She came outside and greeted us & welcomed us in!!!! So fun and this is definitely the place to be!! John took wonderful care of anything we needed. The food was ABSOLUTELY perfect!!! We ordered the Patty Melt with seasoned fries & Black and Bleu Burger with salad!!! There are no words to describe it. What a great atmosphere and all around experience!!! They have a wonderful patio with fans. Definitely the place to enjoy your lunch!!“

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

“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 :-)“

“If you’re looking for the gold standard of cold brew, Java House is it. Their signature brew is incredibly smooth, never bitter. It’s my go-to spot for catching up with friends or meeting colleagues because the atmosphere is just right. Plus, their seasonal menu drops are always creative and worth the wait!“

“LOVE the Mural of the King too!“

“Amazing food, friendly and quick service!!“

“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!“

“Good times! Solid staff!!“

“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.“

“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.“
