50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Indianapolis

“10/10! Love, love, love chronic coffee! The vibes are always immaculate at the store, the baristas are patient, friendly, and helpful. The store is always clean and my drinks come out super flavorful every time!! If you’re looking for a great coffee shop in downtown Indy, I highly recommend this one. Stop in and ask for Ava, she’s AMAZING!!!!“

“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“

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

“Wonderful food Beautiful atmosphere Great service Lovely place for date night“

“I've visited the Carmel & 38th St locations and found both have great service, drinks, and atmosphere!“

“I'm not sure how long its been a thing, but the minis were thr best idea to come out. We get to experience all the flavors and enjoy the experience a little better. Shockingly, to me, Key Lime pie was the best one we had that day. The pink icing one was another favorite. Will return.“

“Whenever I’m missing Chicago, I come to CBAD. Great Chicago food and truly incredible fries. I can’t recommend it highly enough! I’m so happy to have found this spot.“

“we went to the location in Indy on 82nd street and it was amazing, we went twice during our vacation. Super friendly staff and they were great with my son. food was incredible!“

“Outstanding customer service and amazing food!“

“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“

“Great vibe, atmosphere and drinks. Only issue, as a pure gamer, a few of the cabinets are unplayable due to wear and tear. Need more regular maintenance of these classics.“

“First time here and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Food was delicious, definitely recommend!“

“Great Celebratory Cortado Andrew“

“Date night at Bocca never disappoints. My wife and I live near downtown, and it’s become one of our favorite spots. We grabbed seats at the bar last night, where Maritza proved she can shake a cocktail like nobody’s business. The carbonara is my go-to—hands down the best I’ve had this side of, well, Italy. The oysters are my favorite in Indy, always perfectly shucked, and the wine list makes me grin every time I spot my favorite Vermentino. You don’t have to be a neighbor to feel like one once you’re at Bocca!“

“First time trying tonight and the wings were phenomenal and the mango lassi is a must try! Will definitely be returning! 10/10!!!“

“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 stopped by Guggman Haus when we were in town last year for a Colts game. It was really busy inside so we got a table outside. The beer selection was excellent, all types of beers and ciders. Dog and kid friendly on the outside. We got a pretzel which was amazing. The service is good but we had to wait in line with people buying six packs to go to get a sample to determine what we wanted. The IPAs are amazing and the had a great Pumpkin 🎃 beer. We got some beers to take to the game.“

“Shay was our waitress and she did an excellent job providing us with good quality service very attentive. Pancake breakfast was good. And the omega breakfast was also cooked too perfection. But the best thing was the large cups of coffee that was very strong and stayed hot the entire meal without being refilled.“

“We absolutely LOVE!!! We come up every year from Evansville for our Daughters birthday We love it so much, see you tonight !“

“This place is a great breakfast, brunch spot. Always warm and welcoming, friendly and fast service. I got a to go order today for the first time. Still efficient service but they didn't give me any condiments. it's fine because we're eating at home but if you want some with your to go, make sure you ask. I've been here about a dozen times and I can't wait for my next visit. Give them a shot! worth it!!“

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

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

“Awesome theatre. Good popcorn. Clean building. Excellent staff.“

“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 !!!!“

“My girlfriends and I have known Joe for many years- from when he worked at Buck Creek Winery. He is The BEST! Now that I have finally visited the shop 2 days in a row- I know why everyone raves about Heartland. Last night there was a great crew working! The teens were very personable and friendly. They offered us a sample. Everything tasted sooo good. If you know how great Joe is- you won't be surprised that he has a phenomenal group of employees representing his shop. As for the ice cream...my youngest son LOVED the Superman. I chose Cornbread and Coffee Cookie. Sooooo good! You HAVE to try the Cornbread ice cream! It is the most unique, delicious ice cream ever! I had to get it again today. My oldest son came this time and he sampled Cornbread. He liked it so much- that is what he ordered, too! The Cookies and Cream is also to die for! I love how easy it is to sign up for the rewards program. We also loved how many options we had to choose from on the menu. If I can ever tear myself away from the Cornbread ice cream- I would like to try the Italian Ice. It was great to see you today, Joe! What a wonderful business you are building. I'm sending Nikki in STAT! lol. My boys and I highly recommend Heartland. Looking forward to visiting again soon....“

“We live down in Georgia but visit family often here in Indy. No matter how many days our trip is, we always make an effort to stop here. Beer selection is amazing, and the staff really goes above and beyond (Huge thank you to Sistine for helping us today!!). Definitely worth a stop!“

“In on a work trip from Alabama, and this was by far the best meal we had. One of the best I have ever had. Violet was amazing and so attentive. We shared the Alfredo fries, and I had the fillet and cheesecake for desert. The atmosphere was amazing. She even gave us a tour of the building.“

“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!!! ❤️“

“I’m from out of town my granddaughter took me to a vegan restaurant in June it wasn’t good. I have alpha gal so my options are limited. My daughter brought me to 10th Street Diner. It is so good. I will be coming back. She is not limited with her food choices and ate the Buffalo Chicken sandwich, she loved it.“

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

“Ordered the Ale Supremo pizza and ended up having to wait about an hour until we got it. No biggie. It happens. The manager (Diane) threw in a large order of wings, refunded our money, AND gave us a $20 gift card. Now THAT'S customer service! The food was absolutely delicious, too. Needless to say, we're Ale Emporium customers for life. Thank you!“

“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 my absolute favorite ice cream in Indy!“

“Great location and the food is excellent!😊“

“Girrrrrrrrrl. Walk, run, sprint to get this tiramisu ❤️“

“The food was fantastic, particularly the Cajun chicken and shrimp pasta and the Hoosier tenderloin. I highly recommend both.
The only reason I knocked a star was the flavor and quality of their espresso martini. Highly recommend avoiding that but coming for anything else!“

“This Horror-themed coffee shop is very visually appealing! Horror movies are not a huge thing for me as they actually make me laugh, but I like different so I have been wanting to try this place! It is a small area to sit in, but we went on a late Monday morning to which it was not as busy! The latte I had was filled with good flavor! And Alex got a smoothie which I had to try and it was amazing! He loved it as well! The barista was so beyond friendly! Very top notch! Good vibes and wonderful drinks! Definitely recommend! Plenty of parking, but in a location within a short walking distance to many stores located in Fountain Square! Definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This pizza is very tasty. I really like it. Happy to support an independent business who genuinely cares for the people on their team. Futuro are The Real Tank Doggs of Detroit-style pizza in Indianapolis. “You tryna sell wolf tickets to the lion of the jungle I'm the eyes of God, they call me cyanide in the struggle You the kind of guys that would be traumatized in the scuffle And I'm buying pies with the Italian guys with the muscle” —Vinnie Paz“

“Without a doubt, this is my favorite coffee shop in the area. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. They even make sure my pup gets a treat every time we stop by, which is such a thoughtful touch. If you're visiting for the first time, I highly recommend trying Red Door Cafe—it's a must-have.
That said, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Every visit is consistently a great experience, and I recommend this place to every coffee lover I know. If you're looking for excellent coffee and exceptional service, this is the spot. You won't be disappointed.“

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

“Much better than all that overrated drive-thru chicken! And I haven't stopped thinking about their loaded fries. Very cool and friendly vibes too. I believe they were hosting/sponsoring an event when we went, and it was refreshing seeing a business open up their space and resources to the community. You can tell that they love Fountain Square! I will definitely be back!“

“Great experience!! Small little place with great character. I've seen several questions about the setup for concerts. Standing room only but there is a Hightop behind the bar with 10 or so seats. There is open door in the back the leads to where you can get food and play pinball“

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

“Best cocktails in Indy, and very supportive of their community.“

“Great food and service. Highly recommend.“

“Went for the soft opening on 7/16 with my husband and mom. We were very pleasantly surprised! We had a very warm welcome from the staff. The decor and music were nice. The restaurant was bright and clean. Drinks were on our table within just a few minutes. We ordered salad, gyoza, 5 sushi rolls, and a sashimi combo platter. All the food came out pretty quickly. This was the freshest sushi I’ve ever had in Indy, and it was so delicious! This is a bit of a drive for me (45 minutes) but we will definitely be back to try other items on the menu!“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm, upscale ambiance that set the tone for an unforgettable night. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance—elegant and modern, yet still comfortable and welcoming. But let’s talk about the food—because wow. Every dish was a masterpiece! Bursting with flavor, beautifully plated, and clearly crafted with top-tier ingredients and serious culinary skill. Each bite was better than the last, and you could tell the kitchen is passionate about what they do. This wasn’t just dinner—it was an experience. If you’re looking for a place that delivers both luxury and soul, this is it. Already counting down the days until I can go back!“

“We've enjoyed the food from here several times, but it's always been some form of pizza and salad. Tonight, Shirley Cooley and I got a salad, and a couple of their fresh-made sandwiches. We got the Chicken Teriyaki, and the Chicken Bacon Ranch. They were so full of flavor and fresh ingredients. Now, we're torn between their pizza and their sandwiches. You really owe it to yourself to give them a try if you haven't, already.“

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