37 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Darnestown

“Great ambiance, rolling hills in the distance, west-facing so expect a stunning sunset, beautiful landscaping, and lots of options for seating from indoors to covered outdoor options to picnic tables with umbrellas and Adirondack chairs, to seating around fire pits. Not the comfiest seating in the lawn area given that it’s wooden without cushions, but withstands the elements and all. Expect most if not all the outdoor seating to be reserved on busy days, but there is a nice banked hill overlooking the views, so you can bring a blanket and camp out there. Almost more enjoyable to be one with nature that way in my opinion? The indoor area is normally less crowded on nice days and has big glass windows also overlooking the views.I’m not a wine connoisseur but have done quite a few white wine tastings and definitely enjoyed the white wine I drank here - I think we honestly just purchased a bottle of the least expensive white, a Pinot Gris, and we were very happy with its flavors! Service was excellent— we talked with the bartender and even the owner for a bit.Snacks including a few varieties of charcuterie boxes are available for purchase inside, and there are typically also food trucks. All in all would definitely recommend you check this place out if you’re in the area or trying to plan a peaceful afternoon out of the city!“

“Its absolutely amazing tasting and best experience with service if the owners are there, it really feels like they care and want to treat you right. But the second time going without the owners there, the experience fell below. Very sad. still delicious but missing the hospitality and care with the food. For example first time with owners everything was hot the bread was beautifully presented all puffed up and steaming hot when opening it second time going without owners the bread wasn't puffed up and barely hot. So from now on I only go when I know I'll get taken good care of because it's absolutely one of the best experiences me and my husband had in a long time.“

“I have ordered non dairy cake for my son’s birthday. He is 44 and has severe allergy to dairy food. Also i gave a pic of him to them to put it on the cake. This cake from every aspects was amazing. Was outstanding. The look was breath taking , the price in compare to the job they had done was a little, and the last but not the least the taste was so so delicious that my son after almost ten years of not eating any cakes or pastry couldn’t stop eating and admiring it. I have been their customer for many many years. Thank you so much Classic Bakery workers who work hard and very pleasant people ♥️??“

“Food was excellent. Our group of four had sea bass, halibut and neck of lamb. All of these dishes were outstanding. We had the flaming cheese as an appetizer; two of us loved it, two thought it was too salty. Our server Zach was outstanding! Three of us were servers many moons ago so we know what it takes to be a good server. Zach, at only 17, was fantastic. Highly recommend Ela Mesa Taste of Greece! -- Ted“

“This place was amazing! I was overstimulated with all the selection they had.(just means I’m coming back.) they have so many choices my daughter got a Nutella custard and the custard is so delicious and creamy. It’s midnight and I’m still thinking about my amazing experience.“

“Attentive, welcoming staff. Comfortable dining room with good acoustic ambiance and lighting. Food is tasty and made fresh in a kitchen with cooks and chefs who seem happy to be there and delight in their craft. A pleasant outpost of elevated dining in an ocean of chain-based choices.“

“The unique taste of each pizza really lifts this place above the rest. Anything I can get at Pizza Hut, Papa John's, or Domino's just can't compare. The only bad thing I could say is the food is a bit pricey but as a nice splurge this is what I'd expect from a specialty pizza place. I wish all the best to these guys!“

“Some of the best greek food in the NoVA area, certainly a gem of Reston. Owner is a personable and wholesome Greek fellow who always treats you right. I hope more people visit this place because its often empty when I go.Parking: Half empty, can always find a space.“

“In the area for a short while, stumbled across this small establishment and I'm glad I did. We asked to try the Ube Soft Serve, wasn't for me but awesome to have e tried something new.Recently back from Hawaii so I've been on a search for Lumpia just as good. These were right on par. Super flavorful, perfectly fried. Thai chili also served as a dipping sauce.“

“Another great evening and dinner at Our Mom Eugenia. If you have not had the opportunity to dine there, we highly recommend this jewel. Live music adds to the energetic atmosphere and is a perfect ending to a long week. It's our go-to.“

“In town with my family for vacation and ended up here twice! Food, drinks and the service was amazing both times. The kids meals are huge and my son loved his both times. The price of everything is also extremely reasonable, especially with how big the portions are. I would highly recommend this place.“

“Went here with 4 people and everyone loved their food. We started with the appetizer assortment, which was delicious. Then we all got lamb, but in different dishes. Lamb is definitely their menu focus. The flavor combos were different and interesting and they all worked well. Nice wine list by the bottle or glass. We'll definitely go back“

“I have been going there since it opened. All of the owners have been great people. Rich and his staff are courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. Trivia night is always fun. They’re beer and wine selections. Are very good as well. I can’t recommend them highly enough.“

“We had the pleasure of having Gledys helping us as our waitress. She is smart, super kind and pleasant and extremely attentive.She made our experience extra special and enjoyable.Food was on time and delicious.Thank you Gledys.Parking: Fine“

“I found this to be a very enjoyable dining experience. First the drink I ordered, the Old Fashioned, was made to perfection and this is no overstatement. There are simply no words to describe other than to say better even than steak house drinks I've had; not watered down at all either.The Caesar salad was fine, typical of many establishments not bad at all. The croutons were quite crispy and flavorful and plentiful. Of note, it was a perfect portion (many restaurants give a huge salad with a meal which is fine for some I guess but I appreciated the true "side salad" portion).The true king of this meal was what I ordered which was the meatloaf. Absolutely divine flavoring, each complimenting the other. The mashed potatoes were also perfect, and the seasonal greens were quite crispy (which I don't prefer but others might). The only part that almost caused me to give 4 stars for the food was the corn. It was kind of "starchy" for lack of a better word; didn't have much flavor even for corn. But the meatloaf and potatoes carried the dish home for the win.For dessert the milkshake (which I believe was the "Chunky Monkey") was awesome with chocolate chips in EVERY sip, not one sip where the mouth wasn't full of chocolate chips. Also nice that they gave the full container where it was mixed in so you could have really two full shakes, finishing off what couldn't fit in the glass the first round.All in all a wonderful meal definitely worth the price. And the service was excellent too. I also appreciated the means by which we paid our check. Right at the table so very quick which was convenient to make the movie we were going to see right after.“

“As a Lebanese American , I'm thrilled to stumble upon a genuine , locally-owned small restaurant that serves authentic lebanese menu.While it may be a bit on the pricier side, the quality is evident in the taste. I usually enjoy cooking at home, but this place makes me feel like I’m home away from home!“

“I had a pleasant experience. This was my second time at this establishment. The ambiance was casual. Dishes were all delicious on both visits. Service was efficient. My favorite dish was the crispy pork and Chinese broccoli. The sauce was oh so good and the crispy pork paired well the the Chinese broccoli. The kanom jeeb appetizer was another favorite. The steam dumplings were delectable with a combination of chicken, crab, and shrimp. Their crab fried rice was nice, pretty standard. The beef boat soup was comforting. The flavor of crispy catfish was perfect. Just didn't stay crispy very long. Both visits have been good, and they won't be my last.“

“Went to their old location a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Since discovering they moved to a new place we had to check it out.Really like the new place. There own stand alone building that had a nice personality. Smaller than many of those huge breweries you see everywhere, it makes you feel more at home.We enjoyed all the friendly staff and all their beers we tried. We even sampled some cask beers they are working on and they were pretty unique and tasty. This is one of many great breweries in this area. Heck them out of you are near the DC area, no too far northwest of the city.“

“Fast food in a nicer atmosphere. The personnel are very friendly. All food is made to order. The Greek escape salad has a nice variety in its content and a delicious dressing. The best are the Garlic Crostini with cheese, unbeatable in taste and value for money!!! Another good choice is the Bruschetta which has fresh cut tomatoes with lots of mozzarella and basil on a flatbread!!!“

“In the area visiting and came across this place. Fantastic find. Food was good, pleasantly surprised to find they had a great selection of gluten free options. Great drink menu. Our server was wonderful. Overall great experience and would highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: Has good options for gluten free.“

“From being the only people there to having the whole place crowded! Its amazing how popular this place is. I have not tried meadery or this location so this was a new experience. Driving there seems a little sketchy given that its kinda hidden in the back of what seems like an industrial area. Once you are passed that, you will see a wonderful brightly lit Meadery area. The place is well decorated and very welcoming. Clean and spacious, I love the atmosphere. They also have seating torwards the back where they make/store the mead. They have games there, but I wasnt so sure if they are available to customers. They do allow outside food which is nice since you can have something delivered. My partner and I tried the flights to get a taste of all the different kinds of meads and I have to say they really know what they are doing. There were very fine tuned taste within the mead. Very tasty and plenty of alcohol. I cant wait to go back and try the place again.“

“hi, I had a few crepes from here (banana strawberry and Nutella) and they were really good . however I would say that the beverages vary.. I ordered a bubble milk tea and it was too sugary for my liking even when I requested for low sugar percent, I was eating literal tiny chunks of sugar. the strawberry banana smoothie was better. I did not dine in but the place is clean and has a nice atmosphere“

“I met friends for brunch here on Saturday. Shoutout to Lisa, our server, who was fantastic! We all ordered bottomless beverages and she was quick with the refills.The sangria was the best though the bottomless drinks offered included mimosas and bloody Mary’s.There aren’t many places for brunch in Montgomery county and I’m so glad we dined at this one. We will be back!Parking: This is close to a Safeway though it’s probably not welcome to park there. I took the bus and walked from 355 which was 9 minutes - plenty of street parking if you are OK walking“

“It was quite busy on a Sunday. The patio hadn't been opened up yet, but you could order to go and sit there. We arrived without a reservation and were told it would be a 20 minute wait, but didn't get seated for ~50 minutes. Our server seemed harried.The crab cake eggs benedict was the highlight for us. The English muffin is toasted thoroughly and didn't get soggy, the crab cake was crispy and seasoned well. The breakfast potatoes were also seasoned and flavorful - just wish they had been crispier. The huevos rancheros was fine. The Werewolf in London was a touch watered down even before the ice melted.“

“Coffee Republic is my favorite coffee spot in Rockville! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and it's a comfortable place to enjoy a great coffee drink and delicious pastry or breakfast sandwich. I no longer live in MoCo, but I still try to come by often, especially to try one of their special seasonal coffee drinks!“

“Who would brave ice cream in -15°C weather? Apparently, adventurous souls like us! Our visit to Bruster's Real Ice Cream was an unusual but delightful experience, even in the freezing cold. Despite the shivering and teeth-chattering, enjoying their delicious ice cream in such extreme conditions added a fun and memorable twist to our outing. It's a testament to the quality and appeal of Bruster's ice cream that it can be thoroughly enjoyed even when the temperature is well below freezing. For those willing to embrace the cold for a tasty treat, Bruster's Real Ice Cream is definitely worth the visit.“

“Just moved here and stopped by Sully’s on recommendation. They were great! The two bartenders were super friendly and willing to give out advice on where to go locally.The food and drinks were good and all the other patrons were nice. They have a lot of events weekly, so it seems like a good place to get plugged in socially.“

“This was my first time visiting Vasili’s Kitchen. I never heard of it, and my daughter suggested it for our father-daughter night out. The calamari, lamb gyro, crabcake, and desserts were excellent. The server (Katherine) and overall service were great, and the atmosphere was loud and vibrant but not overbearing. I've already recommended this establishment to a friend. I will return for another meal soon.“

“Giving them the benefit of the doubt after 1 visit:- Food: great!!! Best empanadas I've ever had (at least in the US. I'll admit to not not having lots of empanada experience)- Wait time: several minutes (on a slow weekday at the shopping center, I'm sure)- sodas weren't cold. I don't drink soda, but this is a non-starter for 99.99% of US people.I asked about arepas in Colombia. He said this business has a restaurant in Gaithersburg/MV that serves them! Based on the goodness of the empanadas, I'm definitely checking that place out!“

“If you're looking for an international version of a greasy spoon, this is it! Food is superb. Prices are reasonable for anywhere, let alone NOVA. Atmosphere is attractively rough around the edges. And they have good beer on tap. Highly recommend!“

“I am #teamconsomméThe consommé - the dip, as I like to call it, is amazing. Bursts of flavor with bits of red onion and fresh cilantro. I’d like to take a bath in it, it’s soooo good. Grab a pork or birria taco - Squeeze a bit of lime juice and dunk. Game over ?Vegetarian options: Vegetarian, Vegan and gluten free options on deckKid-friendliness: Cheesy and delicious. What kid hates cheese?? Fries, ramen and quesadillas and yummy corn.Parking: Most locations have a decent amount of parking“

“This place is so amazing that the staff love to come here to work and interact with their guests. I Highly recommend this place as they have a huge wine selection. They also have some beer and 28 beers on tap. The deli puts out more food than any other small kitchen that we've been to and it's super good. Seriously, if you can't find your favorite beverage they will do the best to order it on your behalf. However, my guess is that they already have it in stock. Cheers!“

“Beyond being friendly and attentive, China Jade staff are very honest and generous with genuine commitment to exceed our satisfaction! The award winning chef menu boasts authentic Chinese dishes with fresh and high-quality ingredients in a warm and cozy store, the best thing is NO msgs or processed stuff. The value and portions is unbeatable for the price. Delivery is very convenient and parking is abundant free“

“This is really a Mediterranean place, with typical options. They even asked if I wanted ice in the water, nice touch! I had a wrap with lamb. The lamb was hit or miss, some chunks tender and some quite chewed. My wife's falafel wrap was wonderful. The coffee and water were great.“

“3.7.24 Location The restaurant is located in the King Farm Village Center and on the backside of Safeway. There is limited street parking in front. There is also parking lot across from Ming's with a walkway. Ambiance This restaurant is not dine in. There is only a small table for two and two separate chairs likely to be used when waiting. I got there early and ate at the table. They had Chinese music playing in the background. Menu -Weekday (11am-3pm) lunch specials include: mini spring roll, choice of egg drop or hot & sour soup, and 1 of 12 entrees. -They sell milk & fruit tea and toppings. Food -I ordered the lunch special sesame chicken and selected the egg drop soup. I also ordered a medium taro milk tea with boba. I appreciated that the food came out piping hot. It was actually so hot that I had to blow on the food, was sweating, and had to take my sweater off. It was my first time (to my recollection) having egg drop soup and I loved it. Spring roll was crispy. The sesame chicken and rice were moist. The sauce for the chicken was different, but still good. Taro tea was good and the boba had the perfect chewiness. The portion for lunch was generous especially for the price. Can't beat it. I only managed to finish half my chicken entree after eating my soup and spring roll. Service Good and friendly service. The owner's wife runs the counter and takes orders by phone and in-person. She brought my food out and when she noticed I didn't have the crispy noodle with my soup, she went to get it. I appreciated her attention to details. Helpful Info -Delivery within 2 miles with $20 minimum. -Closed on Tuesdays. Final thoughts I loved my lunch, fair pricing, generous portion, and friendly and attentive service.“

“This place is a wonderful hole in the wall spot. The food here is freshly made and served hot. The pupusas are filled with delicious cheese and are not greasy. The tacos are made with handmade tortillas and server on plates that hold the tacos in shape! The meat in the tacos is flavorful and juicy.“
