50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Indianapolis

“Had a lovely dinner on the outside patio tonight!“

“F**king amazing every time. The Food. The drinks. The conviviality. The staff is top notch. I can’t ever recommend it enough. I splurged and spent $160 on myself and I regret nothing. Kudos to every person that works there. For an industry guy like me, it’s a place I love so much I want to work there. When I move back to Indy I’m sending my resume over. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟“

“My daughter and I visited Bocca last week for the first time. Wow! What an experience. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was spot on. We were in the restaurant business for years, so we are definitely food snobs. A must try in Indianapolis!! Love it.“

“We went here after attending the Edgar Allan Poe speakeasy a block away. The food was wonderful! Good presentation and service, too! I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Favorite place to eat for a causal dinner, celebrations, special event and a night out!“

“My husband and I were celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary. Our very first date was at OG, so we love to order from there on our day. We decided to try the new delivery option available on the website, and after waiting an hour and a half for Uber to try to get their act together, Uber canceled our order. I immediately called OG to explain what happened and to see what could be done. The GM, Nicole, was absolutely amazing! She was very upset that the delivery was messed up and did everything she could to find out what happened. She explained she was going to drive the order to us herself. She lived near our hotel and wanted to be sure we got dinner being it was already 9pm on a Saturday night. I was almost in tears. I then explained that she was saving our anniversary dinner. When she had our entire order remade, she packed a few extra goodies and included a little note wishing us a Happy Anniversary. This woman knows customer service! I encourage everyone to go to the 82nd St location in Indy.“

“So happy we found Chronic Coffee while we were visiting Indy! Hands Down the cutest and best coffee shop around and quite busy! We ordered The Buddha & The Stash and also ordered Empanadas and a bagel with egg and cream cheese! Everything was so fresh and delicious 🤤
I can see why this little shop is such a big hit!
We also got lucky and got to meet Monika Czinano an Iowa Alum who played with Caitlin Clark and she was very kind to take a photo while waiting for her coffee too!
If you are visiting Indianapolis, also visit Chronic Coffee!“

“We recommend Salt on Mass for its incredible consistency. The experience is always welcoming and forever delicious. My husband David treated us to a delightful dining experience for Valentine's Day Eve. (I love dining "off holiday" for a more peaceful pace.) We've dined at Salt on Mass many times and continue to be thrilled with our experience. We reserved through Open Table and were seated immediately with our on-time arrival. I love a table with a view of the room's comings and goings, so #41 was ideal, again. We were welcomed by our server Ryan, who explained he was also our bartender. (Love it - special insights on cocktails and wines.) He served us well, attentive but not too much so, and we loved his creative chocolate martini as our "appetizer." :-) We chose our dinner favorites - Chilean Sea Bass with delectable risotto for David and Salmon with expertly grilled asparagus for me. The portions remain appropriately generous, so we split the Key-Lime Chiffon Cake for dessert. Congratulations Johnny and crew for delivering another memory-making visit. Each one leaves us craving the next! Here's to you all! Sincerely satisfied, Garnet and David 2-13-25“

“Great Celebratory Cortado Andrew“

“First time drinking in Indianapolis, this was our first stop. I had the Guggenweizen. WOW. Incredible. We also shared a pulled pork sandwich. That was terrific as well. Large indoor and outdoor seating areas. Highly recommend this place!“

“OMG We had the best experience since covid Our bartender Tyrone was amazing fun and fast smiling made our night Thank you Tyrone for making our night great !!!!“

“Patachou rocks. Not only is the food superb. Their restrooms are always clean and the service is great. They also take the time to watch out for their patrons when they misplaced their valuables I’m a customer for life. Now if I could just get another cup of their banana nut coffee. Best cup I’ve ever had“

“Initially they seated us at a table tucked away in a corner. Terrible location. My view was Aldi’s dumpster. Then we found that the staff use the door for their smoke breaks. Constant traffic. We were a bit chilly so we asked to move to a different table. They accommodated us but then we had to change servers. We felt bad for our first server.“

“They make almost everything from scratch and EVERYTHING is made cooked to order! The customer service is above and beyond! They gave us samples of almost every sauce and they were all great! The wings are wonderful and the fries are nice and crunchy and fresh and hot. The jalepeno poppers are so good, they use cheddar cheese.. which I prefer over cream cheese. We also got the mango shake that is really popular, it’s made with yogurt and mango. I got the samosas .. I might have spelled that wrong.. they are like empanadas that have peas and potatoes in them, two of my favorite things, they were a little too spiced up for me..very curry tasting if that makes sense lol but still good! But the customer service was better than many elite steak houses I have been to! And if you read my previous reviews you’ll know I tell only the truth lol! This place is DEF worth visiting ! Another thing that impressed mw was that they actually clean their deep fryers EVERY NIGHT! This shocked me and I def respect it ! I will def be back!!!!! The sauces winged got eaten too fast lol so no pic of those but they were great ! The house made ranch is also great!“

“The cookies were fine they could’ve been a little better box appeared to be small so one cookie was cramped in the box employees seemed a little too busy to answer questions as it was my first time ordering from Crumbl over all I will be back to get out more cookies and to get a better experience.

Parking: Free limited parking spots“

“we drove down for Fathers day dinner, the food, atmosphere and service are just amazing, they have huge portions and the owner is super friendly. we are going to keep coming back.“

“Lindsey was great! Made dinner recommendations which we loved!“

“The frisco w added grilled onions 🥇“

“Door dashed these and as someone who has lived in a Puerto Rican/Dominican home, this is the closest to Nana's pastellios in Indy I car get. These were so fresh, still hot, sweet, savory, beautifully branded (how DID you DO that?!?), and made me do a Homer Simpson. guttural drool as I ate the guava queso version last. The side sauce was a pleasant surprise and | HIGHLY recommend trying this place if you love Latin food. Well worth the sample box price. We had Breakfast Sausage (not spicy), Ham & Cheese, in addition to the Guava & Cheese. * chef kiss *“

“Very quick service! Great communication. Me and my boyfriend had gotten an iced mocha with chocolate swirl whipped cream.“

“This is my absolute favorite ice cream in Indy!“

“Nice atmosphere great service“

“I pulled into the location in lynchburg va today thinking it was open already and two you the really nice girls walked out and give me free samples!!!! I'm so excited for this to open I'm definitely going to be a regular!!! ❤️“

“This is like a hidden gem.we came around 12:30; it was not crowded andI am not sure why? This place should be hopping.The food was homemade and delicious. Madeline was great and very attentive. I would highly recommend this fabulous restaurant“

“Good location, nice atmosphere and good coffee. It was packed when I stopped by for an afternoon iced latte.“

“Actually picked up an order to go here on a trip somewhere and we're very impressed by everything.

Strawberry Blues Salad was so perfectly fresh and delicious! Came with strawberries and cantaloupe and I would not have expected this ever having cantaloupe in a salad and actually liking it! There was some goat cheese in the salad went so well with everything else going on.
Very big portion size on this as well which I am very grateful for.

For the sandwich, we actually picked the grill the tenderloin instead of the fried one to save some calories and it was a very good decision. People say that the sandwich can be a bit dry but this was actually lovely. We made a proper sandwich out of it with some lettuce and onion and some pickles as well and this was quite a flavorful one.

10/10 recommend! Because I strong as you had a really nice aesthetic Vibe and he would have loved to actually stay there and eat.“

“The dark chocolate brownies they have alone are worth stopping by.“

“Great venue! Secluded and and all the great fixings. Local beverages, friendly bartender and staff. Security was in the house. Music was excellent! I'm be honest was just right. Lighting and sound systems were definitely well thought of. Really cool decor especially in the bathrooms. Unisex bathrooms. Plenty of parking. Plenty of space. Will definitely come back for another live concert if the opportunity arises“

“Butter chicken filling inside kathi roll was tasty. Ambience is cute with various places to sit and a few other Indian things to buy (incense sticks, copper water bottles, etc). Service was quick!

I am writing the rest of the review in Hindi because I am telling it only to Indian people - the price is very high in comparison to the price. I spent around $17 on a regular ginger chai and a kathi roll. Chai Wagh Bakri brand is instant I think, because I have brought the same brand home so I have got the taste. The 3 flavors that are being sold (masala, adrak, and elaichi) are the same 3 flavors that are available in Indian stores. Additionally, the paratha used for the kathi roll was not freshly made, instead it was frozen paratha of Kawan brand (I also learned this because I brought the same at home). Overall I could tell their clientele is mostly liberal people who don't know the difference and are fond of drinking “chai tea” and “tumeric latte”, so they fully support Dukaandaaro's plan (min cost max profit), but overall If you are Indian you will definitely notice what I have noticed. Service was good, Sardarji at the counter was very nice. Sat sri akal ???“

“Their food is sooo delicious every single time.“

“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 👌“

“I dined at the Black Leaf Vegan with 25+ of my girlfriends traveling with the group "Embracing The Culture". As we travel we frequent only black own businesses. This food here is great and the portion sizes were more that expected. The staff was very nice. I would dine here again.“

“great beer and great pinball lineup!“

“Honestly wasn’t expecting this to be as good as it was but wow everything was great the guap fries, tenders, even the kids meal. Got medium and medium plus it was perfect level of spice thats good but not excessive. Probably one of the coolest places aesthetically to eat and just an overall vibe. Highly recommend.“

“Damn good pizza. I mean really really good. They have an amazing Gluten Free option crust . It’s delicious. There is counter service , you order , pay and then they text you when it’s ready.there is one table on the main floor and that’s wheel chair accessible.
Lots of seat upstairs. You bus your own stuff, . Get the pizza . It’s so good!“

“this is quickly becoming a hot spot in the area. its a local business that has a variety of dishes not easily found elsewhere nearby.“

“We got our dog a CBD treat here. It worked very well to help relax his "new neighbor anxiety" 10/10 recommend We are definitely coming back to treat ourselves to infused goodies“

“This is one of the coolest spots I found while visiting Indy. Top-top shelf cocktails, very hip, casual and comfortable vibe. All kinds of different eclectic seating throughout. Their spirits are no joke and I brought home the Barrel Reserve and the 4-year straight. The one bartender (sorry forgot your name) was mixing 4 cocktails at once. Very impressive. Friendly place, met a bunch of people and we all just vibed about life, love and stuff.“

“Currently on tour with the west end hit Potted Potter. Me, the cast and crew had an absolutely fabulous time and were very well looked after. Savannah and Shane were extremely accommodating and helped us to find the right brews to match our taste buds! Best brewery ever! ❤️“

“We found a new great restaurant! Great service. Friendly people. Wonderful food. Fried green tomatoes were to die for!“

“This is my absolute favorite ice cream in Indy!“

“Just had an extremely tasty breakfast eating in at Open Kitchen at 10th and Drexel. Best biscuits and gravy I have ever had at a restaurant. Slightly spicy-Huge portions everything homemade. The place is very small with 2 four tops and 3 or 4 two tops. It took quite a while to get the food because they make everything fresh but it was well worth it! They do carry out as well as Grub Hub and Door Dash. They also have lunch and dinner which I can’t wait to try.“

“great selections of locally roasted coffee. this place is great for relaxing or getting things done. fun community events too“

“5 star. Amazing food and great service!“

“Cyrus, Masha, Summer, and everyone else work so hard here. Please visit these wonderful folks and get a delicious cup of coffee. They spend more on good quality coffee beans at this location; so much so my friend often gets disappointed by coffee at chain coffee locations.

They are dog friendly and the atmosphere is beautiful for pictures or having meetings. I love going here to study and focus. Everyone is very kind and prices are more than reasonable.“

“My FAVORITE bagel outside of NYC. So crusty and tasty and soft and chewy. So perfect. The cinnamon sugar sesame has me coming back once a week and making deliveries to my family. I drive over half an hour once a week to eat these bagels. 10/10“

“The food was outstanding and the beer was very good. Love this place!!“

“Your food is so good and the atmosphere is amazing!“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem. I wasn't to sure about it when I first parked because it looks like an abandoned house. Once i was seated though I was greatest with a hot towel and felt immediately at home. The food was PHENOMENAL! the service was excellent and pleasant. I will definitely be going back and will recommend this place to anyone that asks.“

“We met with Chilly Water staff and management to discuss an upcoming event partnership. I had not been to this spot before. Very clean, comfortable, and friendly. I tried a couple of beers and took some home. Very good! We went ahead and grabbed lunch before leaving and was not disappointed!“
