50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Joppatowne

“Real Italian cuisine is served here in ample helpings. Mama's Favorite Caesar salad can be split for two people. It's loaded with soft fresh mozzarella, artichoke, & sundried tomatoes. It's my favorite, too. The lasagna had so much of the wonderful delicate tomato sauce, it was covered. This is the real authentic lasagna of Italy. For a tasty pasta with a kick, the Salmone Al Pesto has a marvelous creamy pesto sauce, & a heaping of small fresh button mushrooms. They say it's only 6 oz. of salmon but the whole plate was covered in large segments of it--it's large enough to take home for a second dinner. Mama had made her own Tiramisu. The delicate sponge soaked with flavor is something not to be missed. Get it when you can. The service from Madison was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable & extremely helpful. This is a wonderful place for authentic Italian meals.“

“Outstanding“

“Really enjoyed our night out!

For a diner, it’s certainly higher end. Not pretentious but the food is very good.

Ordered the Cod which I loved. Flavor profile worked while being on the healthier side. Paired with their Pinot Noir and was lovely

Boyfriend got the cheesesteak and loved it as well.“

“The food is very good, but It is a little pricey. I am disappointed to find out yesterday that they no longer have the French dip grilled cheese sandwich on their menu. Why not??“

“I just have to share the fantastic experience we had tonight. My husband and I went to The Local around 6:30 pm (prime time without reservations lol). The only available seats were a high top table in the bar area. They asked us if that was ok and we said “sure”. Within a minute or so after being seated, it became apparent that our vision of a nice relaxing dinner would be impossible in that room. The Preakness was about to begin, and that bar was loud and hopping! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, I love to see people enjoying themselves. It was a party, but just wasn’t our vibe tonight. We decided we would go elsewhere. We politely informed the hostess that we were going to leave because it was just a tad too noisy, but that we would definitely return again soon. We stressed that we were not mad, or upset. As we were walking to our car, a very nice gentleman followed us out and asked if we would consider returning if they could sit us elsewhere. We said “Of course!” We didn’t think there were any other available tables, but he said they would work something out for us. We told him we didn’t expect them to go out of their way for us and that we could wait. Within five minutes, we were seated at a lovely table in the dining room. We later learned the gentleman that helped us was none other than the owner/ executive chef Zack. We went on to have a delicious dinner with the most attentive and charming server. They demonstrated exemplary customer service, which sadly is lacking in many other establishments. We weren’t expecting any special treatment, but they certainly went above and beyond for us, and it was very much appreciated! When we were leaving, Zack happened to be outside, so he made sure to ask how our experience was. We told him it was amazing, and that his restaurant has been one of our favorites since it opened. We told him we would be back soon. Our experience there tonight is just one of many examples why this restaurant stands out, and why we will always highly recommend them! Thank you all so much for proving customer service is not a dying art!“

“the food tastes great. My wife and I love their food. That red sauce is so so spicy. Definitely get that sauce on the side.“

“Gretta was great. Had 1 bad crab out of 12 Kate replaced no problem and no questions asked.“

“Had the Italian deluxe sub today & it was amazing. Fresh ingredients, fresh bread. I loved it!!!!!“

“I’ve been coming to Naz’s for a while and it’s usually the only place open after I get off work. The workers are always super nice and the food is definitely worth every penny. It’s very accommodative and you can adjust things just how you like it, plus the fact it’s ethical is a major major plus. I’ll definitely be loyal to Naz’s for a very very long time.“

“Amazing. the wait staff was very attentive and very friendly. kitchen staff was on point with everything we ordered. everything was perfectly cooked and tasted fantastic. The cocktails were great too. Can not recommend enough.“

“We had a lunch for three today. We had a tuna sushi and Salmon sushi for starters. We also had three ramen noodles bowls and they were delicious! The staff was very friendly and checked in on us to make sure water was refilled, asked how our food was and cleaned up our table. They thanked us for coming as they bid us goodbye. Awesome experience!“

“Excellent“

“The place is amazing. Delicious food great atmosphere“

“Our food was excellent and service was outstanding. Dawn was our waitress, It has been a long time since we had a waitress that earned her tip. Dawn took our order, served our order, check on us several times while dining, and finally gave us our check. Most waitress now take your order and give you your check and want a 20% tip.“

“Poke Bowl never disappoints! They have the best crab rangoons I’ve ever tasted — crispy, flavorful, and packed with the perfect amount of creamy crab filling. Absolutely addictive!

My go-to bowl is the one with crab, rice, tempura chicken, and cream cheese, and it is amazing. Everything tastes so fresh, the textures are perfect together, and the flavors are just on another level. Every bite is delicious!

If you want fresh, flavorful food that hits every single time, Poke Bowl is the place to go. Always consistent, always tasty, and always worth the hype! 🍚🦀🍗💛“

“Always a great time. Awesome staff, Family friendly, great beers, and Fanta local music support! Thank you IBC!“

“Plaza Mexico never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. My absolute favorite is the quesadilla with beans and rice — it’s so delicious every single time. The quesadilla is perfectly cheesy and cooked just right, and the beans and rice pair with it perfectly. Whether you’re craving something comforting, authentic, or just seriously good, Plaza Mexico is always the move. Great service, great flavors, and always hits the spot! 🌮🤍“

“we had never been there before today. A friend recommended them. The berry salad is perfection! Turkey sandwich with cranberries and brie, perfection. Everything we got was delicious and they answered our questions without tude. everyone was so kind and helpful. our new favorite salad and sandwich shop! thank you guys for a wonderful experience ❤️“

“Awesome a great Baltimore tradition for crabs, recently enjoyed the soup flight that comes with bread and it was amazing, I recommend the seafood gumbo.. my new favorite, engaging prompt bartender, sitting at the bar alone still felt so welcoming, 63 year old female FYI.“

“I’ve been coming to Pats for as long as I can remember. About 8 years ago it became a regular thing for my husband and I. We met our favorite server around then and are so grateful to get to continue going back and getting amazing quality service. Heather is an amazing asset to Pats. No matter day or night when she’s on the floor running the dinning room, our dinning experience is A+. Sad to see she’s no longer on tables on Wednesday’s we were so surprised. But that didn’t stop us, we just come on the weekends. We visit on her shifts only so we know we are guaranteed top notch service. She knows the menu front to back, always has any answers to our questions we need and always serves us with a smile and awesome attitude. If you’re looking for good food portions, and amazing service stop in and dine with Heather! Best server around :)“

“Food is soo good! Never gotten anything I sis not like“

“We love this spot. Everything is always delicious. Great Service.“

“Roger and his staff (Rebecca, Ally and company) hold us down every week we come. They have welcoming energy, don't mind when we have questions about the food vendors or their drinks, and accommodate us as best as they can if we have a large party. Our group came out here on a whim at first, and now it's one of the things we look forward to the most every week.“

“Fresh cut fries are AMAZING. Food was all fresh and delicious“

“We came here last Friday for my fathers wake. Everything was perfect, food was hot and refined quickly. The server, Mike was amazing. Thank you for a wonderful experience.“

“I went there with 3 of my kids after a soccer tournament. We were greeted and sat immediately. Our waitress Samantha was kind and quick to take our order and anything needed while we ate. Chris ( another worker or perhaps manager there) slipped me a piece of paper asking if it was okay to surprise my kids with ice cream after they ate. I also noticed a special needs woman in the booth next to me who had ordered, then asked a dessert to be removed from her order because she said " she could not afford it". I saw that the staff comped her dessert and treated her with kindess and respect. All around I was impressed with the staff, their caring nature. The food was also great! If we are in the area for a tournament, I will defintely come back.“

“I’m a sucker for good outdoor seating and food is always delicious! I love that it’s kid and dog friendly too 🥰“

“We needed a tapas style Friendsgiving dinner. We got compliments on the taste and quality all night long. We are fans. 10/10 recommend. Will be reaching out for all future parties. You are awesome!! 🤩 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I hosted a corporate dinner party at Boordy last night, and it was my first time being at their facility and getting to experience what they offer. After a miscommunication between myself and the (external) caterer, who was providing food for the event, I was left scrambling to figure out how to accommodate all of my guests in a very short amount of time. Grace and Carly immediately leapt into action and saved the day, no questions asked. They went above and beyond to help out, never once stressing out or making the inconvenience seem like an inconvenience. It was top notch service from both of them all night and extremely appreciated! The wine was wonderful, the space was great and I can't say enough good things about the service. Thanks again Carly and Grace!“

“We used Margherita’s Pizza of Kingsville to cater our daughter’s birthday party and everyone raved about how good the food was! We had chicken parmigiana, Caesar salad and rolls that were all amazing but the absolute hit of the party was the Crab Chesapeake Pasta! It was to die for! There was so many giant chunks of crab meat! And it all just came together perfectly with the sauce! Everyone asked where we got it from and when I was packing up the leftovers, I even had some guests ask if they could take a little bit home too! Highly recommend!“

“Excellent service and delicious tea lattes! I’ve also had their coffee drinks, which are excellent. The atmosphere is calm and perfect for reading or working or catching up with a good friend. Thanks!“

“We are trying to buy local. I came in to see what local roasts they had. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable! They also carry other local businesses' wares. Someone there knows how to bake gluten-free! The quiche was out of this world! Can't recommend highly enough!!“

“The gentleman Danny inside was so helpful. My Breastfed baby is allergic to Cow Milk Protein and he made sure I received a delicious dairy free pizza. He was such a kind soul. We chatted about our families his wife and children, my baby and husband. It was such a refreshing experience. Thank you Danny for your great Hospitality! We will never forget.“

Everyone commented and asked where we got it so hopefully you'll have some new customers!! Thank you again!“

“We had dinner reservations at another local restaurant, and when we showed up, they booked it for the wrong night and could not accommodate us. I called Libatore’s and they were able to seat our large party within 20 minutes. They were super helpful and super accommodating and our server. Emma was absolutely amazing. Everyone loved their meals and their drinks…such a great place..“

“Eric helped me with my first experience here today. He took his time to explain the menu and some additional options they have. I got food and a smoothie. I didn’t even know they had food in addition to their smoothies. It was a great experience and I will be back again to try a new smoothie!“

Still smelled bad but we love the food and were hungry ao we stuck it out. We used the restrooms and omg horrible. This place needs a good tile cleaning. Its like the bathroom buckets of cleaner are being mopped throughout. We wont go back“
