18 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Independence

“Got the Chocolate Covered Strawberry and yes that’s what it tastes like!My overall favorite part though was the service. Greeting as soon as we walked in. Explanation of the menu! And then when we received our smoothies they all had cute little sayings, mine saying ‘Make it happen’. I hope they’re different every time bc this little touch really made it a home run and different for me.Thanks for making it happen, Better Blends!“

“It's hard to go wrong at Asiana. The food is consistently fresh & flavorful, the service is friendly & personable, while being efficient, and the prices are reasonable and on par with most other quality Thai restaurants in the region. I have yet to have a bad experience there, and always look forward to my next visit!“

“If you are in the mood for BBQ of any kind, do not pass Pig Candy BBQ by. In fact, you should go out of your way to go to Pig Candy BBQ. (we went to the Kellogg Ave location) It was EXCELLENT. We had the Potato Bomb which is a huge baked potato with your choice of meat on it. I had the brisket on it. The brisket was so tender and so tasty. The sides of chili, cheddar grits and cole slaw were just as good. My wife had the BBQ meat quesadilla and of course EXCELLENT. Dominick took our order and was so pleasant and patient. He gave us all the info we needed about each dish as we took our time looking at the huge menu on the wall. Then when we were eating, he came by not once, not twice but 3 times to see how we were doing. When Patrick brought our food out, it was with a smile. Seating was comfortable with padded chairs inside (some). They have an outside porch area but a bit to chilly and rainy to go out there. BTW...my friend who needs to eat gluten-free was ecstatic about this new place he could go to.“

“Great experience at the Empanada Box today. The food was excellent. Great variety. The employees were incredibly kind. They offered the kids complimentary cookies. 10/10! Our favorite was the Miami and Bordeaux empanadas. The ship and rice was excellent too.“

“Loved our dining experience at Bouqet. Our server Ella was great! We tried the focaccia bread (delicious) and the cheese plate to start. Loved the pickled options. We also tried the steak, meatballs, and salmon. All were so good. The only reason I didn't give full 5 stars due to the noise level from a neighboring table. They were even nice enough to provide a complimentary dessert to apologize for the table's rowdiness. Would definitely recommend and return!“

“This place is genius. Your dogs can run and play with other dogs and you can have a beer and a smash burger. Lee owns the place and he's amazing. He has one rule. Your dogs must be vaccinated and you have to bring a copy of the vaccine record. This is great idea so all the dogs can be safe I will be back to try the food I can't wait“

“Everything about this place is just wonderful! Our go to is Italian Street Panini but everything is delicious. Beautiful place to enjoy a meal and can’t wait til the weather is warmer so we can enjoy the cute patio! Owner and all employees are super friendly!“

“Empower is my absolute favorite place! Their shakes are delicious and their customer service is amazing. Both co-owners are incredibly sweet and they genuinely care about getting to know people when they stop in. Could not recommend this place anymore. 11/10!“

“We were visiting the Florence area for 3 days & found this place online when trying to find pet friendly restaurants in the area. We enjoyed our meals so much that we ended up eating here 2 of the 3 days.. I got their Fish & Chips both days (no complaints) & their hush puppies are some of the best I've ever had. Will definitely stop here again the next time we're in the area.“

“This place has become our dinner out go to. The food is always super fresh and service is by people who actually like what they're doing and treat all of us very well. Highly recommend the Pickins ad a start. The rotating sauces are always good. I think by now we've had just about everything on the menu and nothing dissapoints!“

“My favorite coffee stop in NKY! This is coffee done to perfection and served in a place that somehow feels both cozy and eclectic. While you're there, be sure to browse the connected shop, La Maison, (SO MANY adorable things you didn't even know you needed) and to buy a Left Bank t-shirt. Mine is one of the comfiest shirts I've ever owned! #LOVE the COV“

“For a place that is clearly listed as a bar it has incredible food. It's a cool neighborhood bar that seems to have plenty of locals I went there with a few friends to try the food and I must say the Pork Schnitzel Sandwich and the Giant Pretzel with Beer Cheese were incredible. If you are looking for a fun hangout with a cool outdoor area and good food it's worth a visit. One note is the place is small so it can get pretty cramped in the small indoor space they have.“

“This is a gem located in the heart of Fort Thomas. It's a coffee cafe and serve alcohol. WOW. They have yummy pastries cookies and sandwiches for lunch. They have alcohol coffee drinks for an after dinner treat. Lots of seating and outdoor space and they have a playroom for kids. There is something for everyone“

“This is the best bar in Covington! They have great fast service. The owner and bartenders go above and beyond to remember their customers and their drink orders:) Great place with a really awesome outdoor area as well! Ask about their train shots! Thanks Chris and the Paddy’s staff for always making a night out an enjoyable experience for all!“

“Came here for a celebratory brunch after the flying pig half marathon and it was fantastic! I made a reservation and thank goodness because we got there when it opened and there was already a line at the door! Delicious pancakes and great mimosas!“

“"this is the best quesadilla i've EVER had" -my bf after taking ONE bite olla has been at the top of my list to visit for quite awhile and now? it's gonna be one of our go to's for date nights and when friends & fam are visiting we seemed to have gotten here at the perfect time today too because as soon as we ordered and sat down, it IMMEDIATELY filled up (which is always a great sign for a restaurant, right?). i cannooottt wait to come back here. especially during the summer? sippin a grapefruit jarritos & margarita on the patio? birria drippin down my arms? this is gonna be The Spot.“

“This establishment has been a neighborhood fave for many years. The service and food is top notch, and the ambiance is perfect for families and friends. This is also a super spot for a date. Never be afraid to ask for substitutes in a meal, as they are always happy to meet your needs when able. They have a full bar, a birthday gong if you're celebrating another year older, and wonderful desserts.“

“What a fun vibe! We went there New Years Eve, pretty early in the day so it was empty besides us, but absolutely loved the atmosphere. They have plenty of green space (which is dog-friendly as long as fido doesn't potty), food vendors, various seating spaces, large televisions, curling, other games, photo opportunities, and more. If being outdoor isn't your vibe, they have a covered heated section (where the walls can come down in the summer) as well as in actual in-door bar where we got some delicious gingerbread old fashioneds. I can only imagine how fun this place is when its packed (and warmer). Our service was great - which sound be expected as the only ones there lol but he was nice, friendly, and made a great drink.“
