50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Baltimore

“I’ll be honest, I was both excited and skeptical about trying Wonder when it first opened. The whole concept seemed a little strange to me, and I wasn’t sure how it would actually work. Since they were offering 50% off for first time customers when I went, I figured it was worth a try.

We ordered a pizza from Alanza, a double cheeseburger from Burger Baby, and a Build Your Own Bowl from El Diez. Funny enough, the burger, which was the item I was least excited about based on how it looked, ended up being my favorite. It was honestly one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. The pizza was a little overdone, but I actually like my pizza that way, so no complaints there. The bowl was good too, though I felt like it was missing a little something. Maybe some extra lime or cilantro would have given it more of that fresh Mexican flavor.

I’d definitely come back and try some of the other restaurants they have. I also really liked the atmosphere. It was quiet, clean, and didn’t feel chaotic, which was nice. The kitchen area looked especially clean, which always leaves a good impression.

If you’ve been curious about Wonder and are looking to try something different, I’d say it’s worth checking out, especially while they’re offering 50% off for new customers. There’s a huge variety of food options, so it’s easy for everyone in your group to find something they’ll enjoy. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and left more impressed than I expected to be.“

“We went to Indigma this evening for restaurant week. The food was fantastic and my nine-year-old loved everything! She gave it a 1523/10 rating! Though everything was excellent, the creme brulee was the best I've ever had. Thank you for a fantastic meal!“

“🤤 AMAZING blueberry cheesecake!! 🫐“

“Highly recommend this restaurant. The staff was phenomenal from the hostess to the bartender to the food servers and the chefs. The food was DELICIOUS!! Ordered the pulpo followed by the lasagna special and the most juiciest delicious steak I’ve ever eaten! Flavored and cooked to perfection. Definitely will be back.“

“We had an incredible experience. The service was fast, the staff were welcoming, the food was delicious. Looking forward to try more items on the menu soon!“

“My family and I happened up on this cool little place while on vacation and in Baltimore for one day. Loved the atmosphere and the fact that it’s a local place and not a chain that I can get at home in Louisiana. Pizza and wings were great and staff was friendly and attentive.“

“Best dining experience all weekend!“

“Cloud Shrimp - Juicy shrimp fried in potato starch, served w Kimchi-kewpie Mayo“

“Crab dip bagel was 10/10. Barely a bagel though, the bun was much softer - which only made it better. Strongly recommend. Also, tried the crème brûlée and the guava cheese pain suisse. Both were good - though the crab dip bagel was out of this world.“

“Just enjoyed the yummiest ice cream ever with my family!!!! We absolutely LOVED THE 🪩 disco ball vibes and the atmosphere was so fun!! 🤩“

“Perfect place nice service and more the flavors are super🫠🫠🫠🫠“

“The absolute perfect spot to grab a beer and listen to music on a beautiful day!

They have an incredible collection of nostalgic vinyl records (LPs) and retro arcade game. It brought back so many great memories. It’s a good place to unwind on a nice day. If you love retro games and good tunes, you’ll definitely want to check this place out!“

“We are visiting from Canada. We received fantastic service and the food was incredible. The restaurant even helped us get back to our hotel when the cab didn't show up as our phones weren't working. Thank you Abigail and the hostess (unfortunately I can't remember her name). They ended our evening on a positive note which won't be forgotten 🤗. 5 stars.“

“Good place to stop by whenever I'm in town“

“If you like beer, friendly people and a comfortable inviting atmosphere then trust me you will fall in love with Pickett Brewing Company.“

“Buffalo arancini spring salad w egg lemon curd dessert“

“Yesterday was my first visit to Corner Juice Bar, and I absolutely loved it! I ordered a fresh wheatgrass shot—it was both affordable and made to perfection. The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming, making the experience even better. The decor has a nostalgic charm that took me right back to my childhood—especially the mini piano and gold telephone. I’ll definitely be coming back every day!"“

“I love the mamas on the half shell in Owings Mills. The food is great and I am a frequent diner. I love Mary, Alaina, and Gavin the best. They are so courteous and customer service orientated. The crab soup there and the cream of crab is to die for. Also love their coddies! The restaurant is beautiful and I also love sitting outside as well. Always seems very clean. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Mindy.“

“1:39 4 ..ll 5G§ 83 < Reviews Koba Café First coffee shop of 2023! Koba is a cozy shop on the corner. The young lady at the counter was friendly. She was familiar with the two customers in front of me. It definitely had a neighborhood friendly vibe. The shop was busy. Most of the tables on the first floor were taken up when I was there. Be sure to take a stroll up the stairs. At the top of the stairs was an adorable little spot for two people to sit and chat. The second floor has a great little area to sit and ready or study. The top floor was full of light. I ordered my usual cortado. It was a solid drink. The cortado wasn't bad but it also wasn't anything spectacular to write home about.“

“If you have gluten or dairy allergies, this place is Heaven! My daughter swears the staff here are magical fairies because no human can make food this good that is GF and DF! Beyond that, they also have the best customer service of anyone around! Cannot recommend this place highly enough! Everything we have had here has been amazing!“

“Still in soft opening until 1/26 but the pastries are delicious, attentive baristas, affordable price points and has a very cozy vibe for coffee dates :)“

“I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Ampersea! From the moment we walked in we felt welcome. Joey was absolutely fantastic - setting us up at a table with an amazing view and checking on us multiple times during our visit. He offered to take our coats after we were seated and then offered to take pictures of us when we were on our way out. Ampersea has definitely been the most positive experience we have had during our trip. I can honestly say that Joey is the sole reason we cannot wait to come back to enjoy a meal and a drink (or 2, or 3 haha) once the weather is nicer! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!“

“This cafe was a super pleasant place to enjoy a drink and snack while sitting at the bar. The baristas were friendly and welcoming. The iced matcha was perfect. I had a lavender lemon muffin that was not too lavender flavored- I usually don't like lavender and it was great! Will definitely go back.“

“As a patron and a former staff member, I know that Ministry is run by the best of the best kind of people who I miss so much no longer living nearby. Support these fine folks ❤️“

“I dream about the honey sriracha cauliflower wings. Love Maggie’s!“

“Wow! We ordered carryout from Ellie’s Tavern and were absolutely blown away. The food was incredible — huge portions, hand-cut fries, house-made blue cheese, and perfectly hand-breaded chicken tenders. The Crab Rangoon dip and Buffalo Cauliflower were outstanding. The service was awesome — fast and friendly — even while busy. We can’t wait to dine in next time. What an awesome Canton neighborhood gem!“

“We stopped by Miss Shirley’s Cafe during a trip to Baltimore after seeing glowing reviews on Google Map. It lived up to the hype.

Got here around 10am on a Sunday and waited about 20 minutes for a table, which wasn’t bad considering the popularity.

The decor is fun, eclectic, and welcoming. The menu is huge with plenty of both sweet and savory options to choose from. We ordered the fried green tomato breakfast sandwich and the banana chocolate chips pancakes, and both were excellent. I’d order either again. One note: the hot chocolate is very sweet. I ordered it with the pancakes and found the combo too much. If you prefer less sweetness like I do, skip it.

Service was fast and friendly, and the restaurant seemed very well run despite the crowds. Though it’s popular with tourists, the food and overall experience make it well worth a visit.“

“Great place to come eat and enjoy family and friends. They also have live music, fantastic.“

“Excellent delicious food. Exceptional service that would go above and beyond for their customers.“

“First time visiting, the Hefeweizen Beer is the best and the lamb burger with pomme frites was on the money.“

“Such a unique menu and such nice people“

“This is my favorite place to go in Baltimore. Aside from my house. I don't know what to point out as the deciding factor, but it just feels comfortable to me. The food is good, not great — I absolutely love the French Dip Cheesesteak. The wait staff and bartenders are always beyond friendly. We've done trivia nights and game days and quiet nights. My wife absolutely loves the dirty martini. Her favorite in the city. And it's a short walk from my home. I hope it's here for another 100 years.“

“Excellent“

“Great neighborhood spot, delicious food, fantastic people. 5 stars. Highly recommend.“

“Dependable. Friendly. Relaxed.“

“This is one of the best snowball shops in Baltimore reasonably priced and amazing woman owned and black owned but amazing love the flavors and the seasonal fruit after league this is my go to spot“

“I eat here every time I visit the area.“

“Been going here with my mom for years and we love it . I get one every time I visit Baltimore. The lean corn beef is delicious“

“We were visiting from out of town and ran across this restaurant. The food is so unique and made with the freshest of ingredients! Staff was friendly and service was fast. Recommend highly.“

“In my best Kat Williams voice "Playa Playa" !! From beginning to end, excellent experience. I love the fact that you can choose from 2 doors to enter as well as safe free parking lot options. I was greeted by a very nice young lady who answered all my questions as well as provided free samples. I ordered the Nica Bowl and Hubby ordered the Tide Bowl. I enjoyed checking out the visuals in this place while waiting. The menu is conveniently located on the wall by register w options galore and descriptions. Plenty of substitutions and add ins. Pineapple decor, 2 picture walls, meal bars for sale, etc. Once our bowls were complete, they came out Yelp, IG picture ready !! The only thing better than their appearance was their taste. We could taste each fresh ingredient that fit perfect w the bowls. 1/3 of the way in, we were full. I forced my bowl down. Hubby brought his home to freeze and eat the next day. No complaints. I signed up for their customer loyalty program and can't wait to revisit. I want to try a Green Bowl and Smoothie. Great event, fantastic service, quality bowls, etc. Job well done Playa Playa !!“

“Randomly ordered this morning through DoorDash, and I found this place. what a gem. The food was absolutely amazing and super quick delivery into the city. sandwiches were still hot and gooey. So thankful they are not right down the street for me as I would probably give them all my money. keep up the good work.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Piping Hot Crab Cake Perfection in Baltimore

Stopped by Riverside Taphouse and ordered the lump crab cake sandwich, and it absolutely delivered.

The crab cake arrived piping hot, packed with generous chunks of lump crab meat, and cooked to a beautiful golden-brown perfection. The house sauce complemented the sandwich perfectly without overpowering the flavor of the crab. Every bite was rich, fresh, and exactly what you'd hope for when ordering a Maryland crab cake.

The coleslaw deserves its own mention. It was the perfect blend of fresh, sweet, and tangy, adding a crisp contrast to the warm sandwich. It's the kind of side dish that elevates the entire meal rather than just filling space on the plate.

To top it off, the Bloody Mary was exceptionally well-balanced. Not too spicy, not too salty, and full of flavor without overwhelming the palate. It paired perfectly with the crab cake and completed the experience.

If you're looking for a great crab cake sandwich in Baltimore, this one is worth the trip. Fresh ingredients, excellent preparation, and flavors that showcase why Maryland is famous for its crab cakes.

🍹🦀 Highly recommended. I'll definitely be back.“

“Had the crab cakes they were phenomenal very lump and perfectly made“

“beautiful restaurant, but the food and service was amazing! highly recommend!!!“

“Three of us got some veggie sambusas (and then we ordered more of those because WOW) and the Tabor. The Special Tibbs was so great that we asked for a separate order of it in chicken (lamb, beef, or chicken). We “bothered” our waiter quite a bit and he didn’t mind a bit. He was so caring and kind. It was such a neat little spot and with music playing. Just a whole vibe. 1000% will be returning!“

“The Backyard is the best neighborhood bar in Baltimore. Expertly curated wine and spirit list, knowledgeable and friendly staff with amazing food and cocktails that are all very reasonably priced. It is am absolute hidden gem!“

“so good the chocolate is the best ever“

“Catalog is my favorite coffee shop/cafe in Baltimore. I come here at least once a week and I still haven’t tried all the vegan options, simply because they have so many. Catalog outshines other spots in the city. Everything is perfection: the vibe, the staff, the espresso. I could write love songs about their espresso. It’s sublime. Their nitro iced tea and vegan sandwiches are fantastic. Updated from previous review on 2026-01-05“

“One of my favorite places in the city.“
