50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants South Portland

“Excellent food . The kindest and most helpful staff. Best new contribution to Knightsville. YES ALL THE WAY….. .“

“Sure, Mabel! Here’s a polished, friendly review letter you can use: --- Restaurant Review I recently visited this restaurant for the very first time, and I was truly impressed from start to finish. The food was so delicious that I actually found myself wishing I could get the recipes to make the dishes at home later. I ordered the chicken sandwich, and it was one of the most unique and flavorful sandwiches I’ve ever had. Every bite was incredible. My friend ordered the steak and cheese, and it must have been amazing because she ate every last bite of it without hesitation! The staff deserves special recognition as well. They were excellent, kind, and especially patient with my service dog in training, who is only five months old. Their understanding and welcoming attitude made the whole experience even better. Overall, this was a wonderful first visit, and I will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!“

“Antony was our waiter this evening and he was great! He was running the house as the only waiter, bar tender, and maybe even cooked our dinners! The food was excellent and our waiter made our our visit to Pattaya really enjoyable! ❤️“

“Just had their chicken pot pie and it was just as delicious as it looks. The peanut butter smores blondie was to die for. The Bakery was neat, organized and clean. Lots of baker's working on a number of tasks. Prices are competitive. I will be ordering more from their menu. Ready made dinners and salads in the cooler also looked great. Full and fresh.“

“Their strawberry cheese tart might be the most delicious thing I have ever tasted in my 34 years of life. Just saying. 😮‍💨“

“terrible food. soggy and cold. nothing fresh about their seafood. you can't even get ice with your drink because they're brain washed libtards. stay away unless you hate America, you'll fit right in.“

“What a nice place with great tasting food and shakes! We will be back to try different menu items!!“

“Impossibly wonderful food and vibe! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We had such a delicious meal at Scales! Everything was presented beautifully and tasted excellent. Service was on-point and the atmosphere is super chic. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone in the Portland area!“

“I expected great coffee and got it, but the biscuits and scones were delicious- even better than my own homemade.“

“We highly enjoyed our visit to the area and Eventide! Food was great - oysters and lobster roll were amazing, great atmosphere, and employee serving oysters gave us good info on area. We will definitely make another visit to Eventide from Austin, TX!“

“We totally enjoyed our first visit to Luke’s. There were 4 of us. The service was quick, the food was delicious, the vibe was somewhat key west and the staff were so great!! Definitely returning. Thank you“

“The best breakfast I have ever had, and I own a breakfast restaurant 😂 Super friendly staff, well worth the wait ! If you don't try the hollandaise I will question all your life decisions. Blueberry Fleur Mimosa ... 12/10! Try this spot if you're in the area, we will travel back 3 hours just for brunch !“

“Had the grilled Tuna with brocholli rabs and blisted tomatoes (which I assumed would be a warm item - but were cold), and a cup of the tomatoe bisque soup, all was outstanding for such a cold and icy nite. Wife had a bowl of the tomatoe soup and brussel sprouts salad - wonderful Any time we make the trek from AZ to Maine, Street & Co is an automatic place to dine at, great offerings, always fresh and a few chef options, you'd never be dis-appointed“

“We're from out of town and thought the concept of this place was intriguing- ended up loving it! Sipped on some delicious hot chocolate at the window side bar area while my husband shopped for some Christmas pre rolls. Life is good here :)“

“We had dinner last night and it was excellent!!! Service was wonderful, drinks were perfect and the food was amazing. Highly recommend!“

“The duck isn’t the only thing that’s going to be fat after you dine here! The food was amazing. The biggest highlight was the duck fat poutine, and it’s totally worth adding the fried egg and the duck confit on top! The duck fat milkshakes were thick, creamy and so delicious. The ONLY reason I didn’t give the atmosphere 5 stars is because the inside has the stools fixed to the floor and you can’t move them, which makes it very hard for a larger individual to sit anywhere comfortably. Fortunately, we were able to move outside and sit where the chairs could be moved, and it was perfect!“

“We brought our soccer team over for a team kick-off party and couldn't have picked a better spot. The staff was so friendly and excited to see us, the food/drinks were delicious, and all our families said it was the perfect spot to gather. We'll definitely be back!“

“Brought some of your Maine State Lager home with me to Villa Rica Georgia. What a fantastic beer!!!“

“Some like old antique places and find them charming. I do not. Our server was wonderful in my opinion and the food runners. All food was prepared well. My issue was amount of options and flavors. Interesting flavors did not love. Quality preparation. Very few drink options if you aren’t drinking alcohol. Their menu rotates so maybe it’s better on a different menu.“

“Meilleur oatmeal EVER parfait petit café🤘🏼“

“This place is amazing. Very LGBTQ friendly, and wonderfully nice management.“

“I always enjoy stopping in when I’m in the Portland area! Only place with other options besides the ol run of the mill lobster with butter or mayo. Delicious!“

“The chipotle lobster roll was great no spicy at all but a lot off lobster. Long line but they moved quickly. Will definitely come back“

“Some of the best beer in Southern Maine, always a ton on tap“

“The best in Portland. Great beer and wonderful employees. Cannot wait until they can distribute to Minnesota!!“

“We just returned home from Maine, after eloping this week. I couldn’t have gotten through the week without Smiling Hills Strawberry milk. It was a guilty pleasure all week long. Thank you!“

“Highly recommend! The place is always extremely clean, there are happy, friendly folks behind the counter and the food is excellent! Pork belly pad Thai totally knocks it out of the park!“

“delicious food, three excellent beers on tap. loved the vibe from the moment I walked in.“

“Best Gelato I’ve ever had! I’ve been to a few different places but none even compare. I had the Hazelnut and Sea Salt Caramel and they were mouth watering. My bf had Maine Wild Blueberry and Oreo and we almost went back for more that night! Eagerly waiting for Boston Creme to come back so I can try it!!“

“An unpretentious, low-key German restaurant that lives up to the hype . Delicious , real deal German food ..just like your oma would make !“

“Love it! My husband is obsessed now 🙂“

“Nice place to have a beer with friends.“

“Warm welcoming staff, happy regulars, creative events, top notch dedication to their draft list pouring from clean lines and glassware, passionate owners who are present and make food from scratch. A true Portland gem!“

“Walked into the Portland location at 7:57 on a Saturday when they close at 8:00 and they graciously served me, even though it was clear they had finished cleaning up for the night. I am a regular at the Scarborough commissary throughout the summer and this was my first time visiting the Portland location. The staff all said hello to me with a smile and conversation and had no problem packing a few rolls for me to go! Great staff and always consistent food!“

“Oh My God what a gem this place is! First off when you walk in it smells incredible. I had the Godmother grilled cheese. It was so good I couldn't hold a conversation......or maybe it was their margaritas!! Anyway the sandwich was unbelievable and the "secret sauce" on the side for dipping is something I didn't think I needed but ended up wanting to be buried in!“

“My favorite bakery! Every product is of the highest quality. Love the Danish, cinnamon buns. and the breads. And to top it all off, it is nestled in a small neighborhood.“

“Awesome place! We went for the first time yesterday, and we were not disappointed with the food and drinks! The 🦞 roll was one of the best that we’ve had. We ordered a cheese plate and oysters as well, and they were both delicious. Hidden gem tucked away in the Old Port! We will definitely be back again.“

“everytime I come to Portland I try new restaurants and this place definitely is one of my favorites so far! great on a cold day“

“Amazing beer. Friendly Staff. Cozy atmosphere. Good people. Go there!“

“Wonderful service and excellent food!“

“Came here for the very first time on Veterans day. The staff was so helpful and kind. I told the gentleman at the counter that I had never been here before, but that I really enjoyed coconut. He recommended the nutelloco, and I am so thankful he did. It was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back, thank you!“

“We wandered in today and sat at the bar. We were so impressed with both the service and the food. The bartender was cordial, friendly, and extremely attentive. We had a flatbread that was absolutely delicious and chicken, bacon ranch salad with house made ranch that was exceptional. Closer than any. We don’t have a flatbread company near our home sure wish we did.“

“Food is always amazing here. It’s a must“

“Went during the day and got to sample 6 of their mixed drinks. The guy behind the bar told us the Boston Tea Party drink was selling out and wouldn’t return, which was too bad because it was the best one on the menu. Everything else, unfortunately, was just okay.

It was really nice they let us bring in outside food! And if you order food and eat there they will give you $2off your drink order.

Parking was easy. The staff were friendly. The space is really cool. They drinks were just alright.“

“Great fish market that is worth the trip to Commercial St. They will cut it for you to the amount you want. Fish is always fresh. And their prices are reasonable“

“We traveled from Memphis to Maine and tried out several different highly recommended lobster roll spots. None could compare to Bite Into Maine, soooo good. The next time im in Maine I will def be coming back“

“I am the owner and operator of Hager Photography and I had the immense pleasure of photographing a few events at Rising Tide this year. A wedding reception and a private rehearsal dinner. This was such a perfect venue! Clean, fun, laid-back, and I can't stress this enough - TONS OF PARKING. Great location, close to the heart of downtown Portland. You would be very wise to consider Rising Tide for your event. I can't wait to go back!“

“Had an absolute blast hosting our Winter Film Challenge kickoff party here. Awesome communication, staff and vibe. Cant wait to come back!“

“Very efficient and speedy delivery - a whole 9lbs Maine tuna toro. Is this skin side up or belly side up?“
