50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Allston

“I usually like the food here but the service is usually terrible. I think if they improved their service, the restaurant would be somewhere I’d like to return to. This was my third or fourth time but this last experience made me not want to come back. 😔

The food taste/quality also wasn’t as good as I hoped. Mandoo ttuk guk didn’t have enough mandoo and too much ttuk - they should also bring a burner so the guk stays hot.

I think the waitress got mad bc I asked her to switch out a combo item for bulgogi which cost less than galbi - I was confused about why they wouldn’t want to do that.“

“is the best ever ice crem a had in my life“

“Great experience this afternoon. Sat outside and the service was great. The food was delicious! We had a flat bread and two pita wrapped sandwiches. The freshly made pita bread is delicious! Looking forward to going back!“

“Coffee Turco has great coffee with rich, authentic flavor and a cozy atmosphere. The pastries and snacks are a nice bonus, and the service is warm and welcoming. A wonderful place to relax or catch up with friends. Just a little room for improvement, but overall a very enjoyable spot!“

“1st time. It was great. Good food!!!! Well packaged. Driver was so polite. I will order again from them ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Starbucks of Tea. Essentially the undisputed S-tier royalty of the boba world.

When this Allston location first opened last year, the hype was unreal. I had to wait a couple of weeks before I even dared to get in line. While the waits on weekend evenings are still pretty rough, the crowds have definitely thinned out a bit now that they’ve opened more outposts around Boston.

I've loved almost every drink I’ve tried here. I love that they use real dairy, fresh fruit, and absolutely no powders. They essentially pioneered the premium tea market in China (and actually invented the cheese cloud foam), and they manage to keep that high quality incredibly consistent across a massive menu. Even the drinks that look like heavy fruit smoothies are infused with premium bases like jasmine green tea, which gives them a much lighter, floral aftertaste. The OG cheese cloud cap also adds a really sophisticated layer of savoriness. My favorites so far were the Cloud Coconut Blue, the Coconut Mango Boom, and the Cloud Mango.

This isn’t the most convenient HeyTea location for me, but it’s in the perfect spot to hang out and grab a drink after a heavy Chinese or Korean dinner in the neighborhood. Will definitely keep coming back to try their new flavors.“

“visiting from California and my son brought us here for brunch. OMG, the food was fabulous and service was exceptional. I was very impressed by the waitress. she took our order without writing down and got everything correct. five star rating“

“The additional noodle option was very worth it (nearly doubles the amount) and the soup base for the Umami Ramen is delicately seasoned and has a rich taste. Crew was also extremely friendly and helpful, a flawless experience for the price point.“

“Piatti buoni e curati , cucina meditteranea ben interpretata“

“Absolutely delicious in it’s perfect simplicity!“

“Just ordered some yummy chicken bowl AMAZING! Hands down the best food I’ve had in a while!“

“Went for the first time and everything was great!!“

“Yummy! And dog friendly patio.“

“Normally I’m a traditional Pad Thai or Pad See Ew but I branched out to try the Panang Curry. It was SO GOOD! Definitely reccomend. My table got Pad Thai, Basil Rice and the See Ew and they thought it was great as well! Server was super accommodating and attentive.“

“Deep Cuts is a great little spot to eat and catch a show. The food is good, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The live space is small and intimate. There’s even a selection of vinyl records available for sale in the taproom!!!! I highly recommend it.“

“Absolutely love this place and it’s staff! The ice cream is delicious and there is a huge selection of flavors. The ice cream sandwiches are to die for. They are made with homemade cookies, so delicious. Maggie is crushing it! The owner Matthew is so kind and friendly and openly invites suggestions! **Allergy friends, they keep all nuts separate from everything else in the back. We were very pleased. We’ve already made two trips this week!!“

“Good food, great prices & friendly service! 👌“

“Loved the Texas brisket sandwich. Delicious. Nice atmosphere.“

“Amazing food. Don't miss out on the pasta dishes or the bread. They actually make for great sharing apps. The staff is so nice and welcoming. Drinks are delicious and unique.“

“best Palestinian cuisine. Unfortunately it’s marketed as Israeli which colonized and ethnically cleansed the native population. Kept the cuisine, discarded its roots!“

“This was the best night out I’ve had with my husband in a long time. The food was spectacular- I suggest the mezze platter so you can try everything, and of course the koshari. The mushroom fritters they had as a special were divine. The atmosphere and quality of service were top-notch and we will absolutely be coming here regularly.“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“The food was incredible and everyone was super friendly. I’m glad we stopped in!“

“Food: I thought the broth rivaled a lot of other popular options in Chinatown/Allston. The spicy options were my favorite and complemented many of the options well. I thought the sauce bar was decent but not as extensive as some other places.

Service: mostly self-serve off an iPad - they won't check up too often.

Atmosphere: I appreciate the lanterns and the booths in the back. Will come out and sing for birthdays too which seems to be popular.

Overall: quality across the menu is great, and the soup bases are possibly my favorite in Boston. Can be a bit more expensive than other AYCE options, but generally worth it for the quality.“

“A treasure of a restaurant on busy Cambridge St - walk through the door and you’re in a different world. Servers quickly become friends. Great spot for a romantic dinner for two but still a place where a solo diner feels welcome. Wonderful menu with choices for the adventurous and not so adventurous eater. My new favorite spot for lunch or dinner in Boston.“

“When someone's looking for lobster bisque, I'll send 'em here!“

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

“On the slightly pricier side for a takeout (there is no sitting area and even standing to order or wait was a little tight). Service was fast and friendly. Food was nice and pleasant- not life changing. I would definitely revisit if near but not smth I would make a special trip for“

“Definitely coming back“

“Great food and pet darn fast actually. My wife had the shrimp scampi with linguine and I had the stuffed calamari over black squid ink linguine. 🤌🏽👌🏽👍🏽“

“I recently hosted a birthday party at Idle Hands and it was so awesome! It was super easy to schedule the rental and plan the event with Darren. The Idle Hands team was great during the event - they made everything run smoothly and made it look easy. Everyone had a wonderful time 🙂 thank you!!“

“Thank you for GREAT customer service and making me feel welcome. The cafe is immaculate and the food and drink was delicious! My first Iced Matcha!!! Well worth the visit from SW France 🇺🇸🇫🇷 Great merchandise and appreciated the WiFi....Á bientôt!“

“The quality and presentation of the food was top notch. We were incredibly impressed by the dining room layout and staff. If you are looking for a place to propose to your significant other… this is NOT the appropriate place. As I mentioned the food was the finest I’ve ever had; however, the music was terrible. We felt like we were in a 1990’s discotheque. The music was loud, very heavy beat and not remotely romantic. We did mention to our waitstaff and they attempted to get it turned down to no avail. No coffee or dessert available either. I understand space is limited; however you have two of the finest dessert businesses well within walking distance. Even if you only carry two desserts. I would still go back there for the food with the hopes of different music…even soft jazz would be acceptable.“

“My friend and I visited the Distillery the past weekend on our trip to Boston and we had a phenomenal experience. The tour we took was very informative and allowed us to try a variety of spirits. We enjoyed everything we tried especially the Rum Cooperatives and the Amaro’s. All the staff were very friendly and went out of their way to give us a truly unique experience. Shout out to Nolan and our tour guide for the recommendations around town and a great experience.“

“I had an amazing experience and can’t wait to go back🥰“

“Three of us went in yesterday around 11:45 for a quick lunch and we were all very happy: I had the cold turkey sandwich on a challah roll, the coleslaw and a secret dressing were on the sandwich and it was delicious. I'm also not a huge lover of pickles, but the nice big one accompanying the sandwich was good!

Other dishes were the chicken salad on a bagel and a bagel, schmear and veggies. Katie (I think that is her name???) took our order and brought it out as soon as it was ready, as well as checked in with us to see how everything was.

We sat along the window for people watching, Washington Square never disappoints! Embarrassed to say it was my first time in, but definitely will not be the last!“

“Very lovely folks who work here and nice space, but if you’re a coffee snob who came for the high ratings just be a bit careful what you order.

The flat white here is a latte and the beans are not good. I think this is somewhere to go more for Turkish coffee or American-style syruped coffee. And (probably) good pastries!“

“I love this place so much. I live in PA, have a husband and children, and still contemplate leaving them for the day to drive to Bakey and pick up a boatload of baked good. It’s that good. Please please please consider coming to the Lehigh valley!!“

“Really good flavors. I tried the mushroom lobi bowl as my main course and also some of the appetizers and desserts. This is primarily a quick-serve take out restaurant, but they do have a handful of tables inside. They also serve breakfast too under another name. I tried their fruit compote (juice) which is house made with real fruit and it was delicious. Owner was the only one working and he was very nice.“

“Had no idea what to expect when a friend booked the reservation and it was amazing. Food was so good and we were all fighting over the family style leftovers when it was time to leave. Such a great atmosphere for a large friend group dinner and the perfect spot for great food and service. Thank you again!“

“If you are in Boston, you must go here! I don't really eat red meat, but I devour the koobideh. We go here at least once a month. And the owner/staff have been nothing but sweet to us. Would highly recommend catering from them if you can. Zohreh is the best!“

“Went for Dinner and the atmosphere is very intimate. Definitely need reservations and to specify where you want to sit in advanced. We had seating at the bar and were placed very close to their people. They needed more spacing for item I had no where to put my purse and had to hold it i my lap the whole time but i did notice that the bar seating by the window had hooks for purses under the counter that the bar didn’t have. If you jot into being close to your neighbor aid stead clear but for a date night it also puts you close to your date and was nice for that. The food is small plates and we had about 4 different small plates we shared which were absolutely delicious. The best were the Empanada and croquetas de bacalao. we also got the special which was a paella made with fideos which was really good. I didn’t try any of the drink but my date got two beer and liked both of them. The service itself was good the server took time to explain how the menu worked and was quick to tell us if we wanted a paella it does take some time to make and even gave some recommendations. There was only one issue which was we’re having the wrong dishes brought over to us that we meant for the people sat next to us and that seemed to be happens in got other seated at the bar as well. Over all grey choice for date night if you’re okay with smaller spaces.“

“It's such a vibrant place where shopping, dining, and just strolling around feels like a treat.“

“The oysters were fresh and i enjoyed the ambience!!!“

“First time in Nee England and my buddy joined a bowling league. So I told him lets go and I’ll just chill at the bar. This place is awesome! Great flatbread, great beer and great service! If I’m ever up this way again I’m for sure making a stop here.“

“Ordered an ice cream cake for Easter. It was delicious!!!“

“Best place,great food.Highly recommend 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Sunday night dinner … Out-of-town visiting our daughter & her family … tasty & flavorsome craft beer; mouthwatering, wood burning oven pizza; TVs & lots of games for the entire family. The best part was the staff…VERY welcoming, friendly and assisted you so that your visit was a memorable and enjoyable experience. Thank you! 5+ Stars“

“Mancini Soul Project definitely recommends night shift brewing. the best people, staff and brews!!“
