50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Watertown

“I wanna say thank you to the Jana Grill restaurant for the delicious food! I really liked the Armenian kebab, the restaurant is cozy and comfortable. There was an event on this day, but this did not affect the service time, there were a lot of people and i want to say thank you to Dmitry, sorry if i misspelled your name, this is a waiter in a black shirt who helped me with the choice from the menu, especially with dessert it was delicious, very good service! I will definitely return to you. Thanks to the owner of this restaurant for such staff I will recommend this restaurant to everyone!“

“This is a hidden gem. The service might be a little slower at times because it is such a small joint. But do not let that deter you from a phenomenal cup of coffee or treat. The cold brew is OUTSTANDING, it speaks for itself and I could drink it black it is so smooth.“

“Delicious food, prepared with care & love. I had a jerk chicken & plantain wrap — highly recommend. For dessert, key lime pie — out of this world. Excellent service & atmosphere.“

“Delicious vegetarian/vegan and gluten free friendly food. The Gobi Manchurian Cauliflower is delicious.“

“Love everything, from warm chips and salsa to entrees and delicious drinks.“

“Went in for Grand Opening & it was Great!! I grew up in Newton & have worked in Watertown for over 20 years. I’m so Happy to see what’s happening @ Arsenal Yards!!! Store was Beautiful Staff was attentive & Friendly. Can’t wait to go back next week :)“

“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“

“Visiting from California and went here for dinner, what a great decision. The owner greeted my wife and I as if we had known him our whole lives. He was extremely helpful and the food was delicious. The portion sizes are HUGE and the price isn't.“

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

“Service was quick and effecient. Wait staff gave me a great recommendation for lunch. The short rib curry was delicious; came with rice. Dining area was small, but single seats long the window were open. Price for the entree was $22, but short ribs don't come cheap. The meat fell off the bones, and it made a tasty curry! There were also peas and peppers in the curry. Spice level was perfect, big flavor, not heat.“

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

“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.“

“It was my first time there but I can tell you not my last !! It is now my favorite breakfast place .. ( can’t wait to try them for lunch ) They girl that waited on us was very friendly and you could just tell the day after Christmas that she loved her job The place was very clean , and didn’t smell like old steal oil .. And the foot well that’s another story and why I will be back !! It was fresh , I mean FRESH !! Like everything was picked from a garden out back to make my omelette.. And the home fries amazing !! Try it you’ll love ❤️ it , just like me !!“

“Absolutely delicious in it’s perfect simplicity!“

“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.“

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

“The service here is exceptional. Everyone goes above and beyond to take care of you and I haven’t seen a single employee not smiling. They can get so busy too so it is so impressive what they do and how kindly and warmly they do it. Kudos to you, Pressed Seaport! Keep it up we love your food and your staff!“

“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.“

“Great overall experience! It’s a la carte so it can get pricey and the sauce bare was not included 🤨 but the broths and meat/seafood selection were great! A great place for large groups and special events but maybe not the best for a casual night out.“

“Been drinking Idle Hands beers since they were in the original Everett location (I think it was a slasher movie film set). Quite simply, the best beers you can get unless you leave the continent and head east, and they’d give the European breweries a run for their money too. Top notch!“

“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!!“

“An amazing gem in Belmont. I can’t recall ever having a more tender chicken than I had here. The portions for the main dishes are enormous so they’re worth the price. The staff were kind and attentive. I’m looking forward to trying more dishes and I highly recommend Cafe Vanak!

Vegetarian options: The menu offers an impossible version of some dishes and there are grilled veggie options as well.

Parking: There’s a small lot behind the cafe, and street parking seems reasonable.“

“Yummy! And dog friendly patio.“

“Coffee, Baklava, and most importantly the unique experience of being able to peer into arguably Boston’s coolest full-service motorcycle shop. If you’re there you might even get a sneak peek at some of the Madhouse teams latest projects!!!“

“If you ever are in the Brighton Brookline area, you have to try Mamaleh’s at least once. If my partner and I could come every day, we would!! Everyone who works here is so friendly, the atmosphere is wonderful and cheery, and the food is delicious. Build a bagel and get the sable, you won’t regret it. So much love to Mamaleh’s!! Eat local!!“

“The breakfast sandwiches from here are sooo good and its even better that you can customize all of them too... for me- this place is up there in the best spots to eat in Boston. So flavourful with flexible and personable staff, reasonable prices and a relaxing atmosphere to sit by the window and enjoy.“

“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!!“

“Great Experience at Bully Boy!
We had an awesome tour and cocktails with Luke — super informative and fun. The tasting was great…even had one we’d never tried before. Really enjoyed the whole experience and look forward to sharing Boston Whiskey with Colorado!“

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

“delicious flavor and texture. very nice staff“

“It's 28 September 2025 at 0830. The place was super clean, comfortable, and we were treated by an amazing staff. This woman crushed it. I have not been this impressed by service in a long time. I would recommend this shop to anyone simply based off the quality of service provided by the employee.by the way the food and drinks were excellent“

“The husband and I did an order during their soft open, and it was super good! We have ordered atleast 2-3 more times since the soft open and it's always good! I've tried all their sides, brussels are DELICOUS. Zucchini salad is also VERY good. I do think it has a LOT of almonds, but I could have just gotten a nut heavy scoop, so definitely recommend! We did and sampler platter and the meats are solid. The ribs are THE BEEEEST. pulled pork and brisket is good too. have yet to try the burnt ends, that's my next venture! Overall a great meal. Price wise, it is moderate. price points around the same if not cheaper for most BBQ I've had up here. I'm from the south so prices will never be as cheap as there, but the food, personally, is worth the price.“

“Great customer service and delicious gelato. Clean and such a cute shop. So happy we stopped in!“

“Excellent food and brilliant staff. Turned a bad experience of being stranded due to a cancelled flight into a much brighter evening.“

“If you ever find yourself in Boston, do yourself a favor and visit Jen’s place. Jen is an incredible woman, hard working, dedicated, and truly passionate about what she does. She built her business with the kind of diligence and professionalism that can only come from someone with deep Italian roots and a genuinely kind heart.
From the moment you walk in, you can feel her warmth in every detail. The food is unforgettable, her meatballs are rich and comforting, and the cannoli are some of the best I’ve ever tasted. But what truly sets this restaurant apart is the atmosphere Jen creates. Strangers sit together at the same table, share a meal, laugh, talk, and by the time they leave, they already feel like new friends. It’s a beautiful experience, one that stays with you long after the evening is over.
I loved every moment I spent in Boston at her restaurant, and I’m deeply grateful for Jen’s generosity, her spirit, and the love she puts into her work. Thank you, Jen, for making your restaurant not just a place to eat, but a place to feel at home.
Laura Laureto.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I went there for an event my group was hosting and it was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. Great beer. It was a great space for a get together.“

“Get a yahoo, thank me later“

“Definitely coming back“

“I love StockYard. We haven't been in a long time as we moved faraway. Now, after 10 years we came back and it was like we never stopped coming to eat here. The food was super delicious. The NY Sirloin, and the tenderness of the Fille Minog was extraordinary. Outstanding customer service. The drinks were superb. And the complimentary chocolate cake with ice cream for Father's day was out of this world. Thank you.“

“Love assembly row…this is a fantastic, yummy and fun addition! Great ambiance… staff is friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend! :)“

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

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

“My absolute favorite restaurant in Boston. Was my favorite when I lived here and continues as my favorite must-have when I come back to the city. The food is always phenomenal - favorites include the jamón ibérico (it’s like if meat was candy!), gambas (shrimp), setas (mushrooms), dátiles con jamón (essentially bacon wrapped dates), maíz (corn, I recommend getting “off the cob” for less mess/zero hand holding), the empanada, and the cod croquettes. But you really can’t go wrong!
But on top of the outstanding quality of the food, you must also consider the incredible service and people who work here. Jonathan at the host stand is beyond welcoming and helpful. Bartenders Oscar and David are gems, always attentive enough to know you’re cared for. And so many more, never had a bad experience in my many times here.
Could not recommend more!“
