50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Grand Rapids

“Great Food! Awesome service.“

“Greyline Brewing Company is hands down my favorite brewery. They consistently deliver a fantastic selection of beers—there’s truly something for every taste, and each one is brewed with care and creativity. Lately, they’ve been stepping up their food game in a big way, and the new offerings are a perfect match for the drinks. The service is always top-notch—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Combine that with a laid-back, chill atmosphere, and you’ve got a place that keeps you coming back. Whether you’re a beer enthusiast or just looking for a great spot to hang out, Greyline never disappoints.“

“This restaurant has a very low key facade but the menu was big and the food was outstanding and extremely tasty,definitely a winner their biriyani is to die for,I will be going back even though I live 45 miles away“

“I absolutely love hanging out at this place. The game selection and welcoming atmosphere are fantastic! The variety of drinks and added convenience of being able to order food from their kitchen makes it even more stress-free. I will gladly support this local business while enjoying the hobby!“

“My husband and I came here for my 28th birthday and had such an amazing experience! Our waiter was very kind, the food was outstanding, and the atmosphere was amazing. We had calamari as our starter and I had the mushroom ravioli and my husband had the steak and we loved all of it! For dessert we ordered a s’mores dessert and were pleasantly surprised! I heard they have a speak easy type of lounge downstairs which is unfortunately closed on Mondays which was the day we went. But I’ll definitely be going back go see it!“

“I went picked Brass Ring Brewing to celebrate my birthday with my family. I choose Brass Ring because I was interested in trying their cask ales. What I found at Brass Ring was a level of customer service that I have rarely found across the food service industry. We showed up at Brass Ring to find that a very large group was dining there, taking up a majority of the seating. They don't take reservations, so it was going to be a challenge finding a table for our group of 6. The owner heard the staff struggling to find us an available table. He jumped in and found a solution. He personally asked a couple that was seated at a large table if they would be willing to move. They graciously accepted to make room for us. This level of customer service has obviously been trained into the entire staff because our waiter was the most helpful and hospitable server I've ever encountered. Firstly, he was extremely knowledgeable of food and drink menu, helping us to navigate it superbly. He also got the entire restaurant to sing "Happy Birthday" with us when it was time for dessert. The food and drinks were top notch, but the customer service was out of this world. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to the Brass Ring. You will not be disappointed!“

“If you love absolute creamers, then this place is absolutely for you!
The Brewmaster, Sweet Lu, is a standalone mixologist in Grand Rapids, crafting up some of the tastiest dirty bevies around these parts. Downright righteous flavors and spectacularly sips to satiate your desire for sours.“

“Quesadillas and tacos are the great. I like it spicy and the salsa offered tons of flavor!“

“My family eats here every time we visit downtown. They are kind to our daughter but the atmosphere is also great for a date. I have also dropped in for lunch between work meetings and the service is fast for a tight schedule. The Black Dragon roll is great!“

“Great menu selection, great service.. the sweet potato breakfast - I do not recommend… 🤷🏼‍♀️ went out elsewhere for a 2nd breakfast..“

“Had dinner here last night with some girlfriends before a show at DeVos. The fries and sauces are amazing! But the highlight? The elephant ear with vanilla ice cream!!! Our server did an excellent job and we loved the outdoor seating!“

“Fabulous food! Look forward to returning.“

“Omg!!!!! I searched protein shakes near me, after a workout. My GPS bought me here, all the times I passed here, I didn't know this delicious place was here. Omg I got the blue berry muffin shake it was so natural.... flavorful, it was It was so so so delicious! Perfect. Very very very delicious!!!! If you haven't tried it! You have to come here. I am hooked 😁“

“As a French family, we are grateful for Gaby’s. The pastries here are in many cases better than what you can find in France because Gaby and his team make everything from scratch. The choux, cannelés, and galette des rois are not to be missed. Merci, Gaby!“

“I live north of this Crumbl and do not get into Grand Rapids often. I was recently visiting Milwaukee and my sister introduced me to Crumbl. The next time I was near GR we made certain to pick up some cookies and brought a treat to my elderly mum-in-law. My favorite is the lemon cookies.“

“Fantastic atmosphere, fast and friendly staff, great drink choices. We went when it was fairly busy and nearly full and still got seated and drinks within five minutes. The Strawbarb sour and Wizard Burial Ground quadrupel are strongly recommended.“

“Best flurries in town and the staff is awesome.“

“a friend first invited me here and I wasn’t even sure what a poki bowl was…. now I can’t even get enough!!!! so so fresh! fast and easy and perfect for on the go too… the best kind of fast food bc you feel amazing after you eat it too!!! i highly recommend and if you’re kind of a picky eater don’t worry- they are so helpful and you will be amazed how much you love it!! my kids even love it! super thankful now they have 3 stores!!!!“

“This is authentic Louisiana boil. If you prefer fin to she'll they have the dish for you. You can make it hot or Not. They have crab in shell and everything is customizable. During the pandemic everything is served on leek proof containers and food is still hot when you get home. There is nothing fancy here served as out would be on the beach. They have generous portions for the price. This little place is a must try.“

“Five stars! We ended a week of camping with a vehicle delay on our way home and stopped for lunch at Big Bob’s while my husband took the truck to get fixed. First of all, the food was amazing (our son said the deep dish was better than Giordano’s). But more importantly, Rob and his staff took were beyond hospitable to our 3 kids and I as we spent the next 5 hours utilizing their Uno cards, Connect Four and enjoying their complementary popcorn. If you’re ever in the Grand Rapids area we highly recommend giving them a try. We’ll definitely be back next time we come through Grand Rapids.“

“Great beers, food, and service! Highly recommend.“

“Came in to this place and the employees were very nice and welcoming they have a nice selection of drinks and food I would highly recommend this place. If you want some good food give this place a try. You won’t regret it, I didn’t want beans and they hooked it up on the rice“

“I went off season (no outdoor activities involved) and was so impressed by this little gem in Grand Rapids. The donuts were beautifully soft and so satisfying. Additionally, everyone at the wine cellar was so friendly and so helpful. Though very sweet, I loved their recommendations, and I’m so glad I bought bottles to share of their peach Spumante. They did offer a discount if you buy 4+ bottles. Also, loved hearing that their wines support local MI farmers as all the fruit used for the fruit wines comes from MI farms.“

“Their pizza and pasta is amazing!“

“Best chicken tenders ever! I love them with the Asian Sauce. And reasonable well drinks! Also great is the brisket sandwich. This is a must go to place.“

“Wow! You guys outdid yourselves today! We waited in line for just over an hour and it was so worth it! We caught up with friends and our pup received lots of love while we waited. The staff must be so tired after such a busy first day!! Good job Frosty Boy! We will be back about 1 million times! 🍦💗“

“Our favorite ice cream in GR!“

“Had the Birddog Sandwich today off the new menu. Excellent.“

“This was our 1st visit to a Hop Cat and knew it was going to be loud. That would be the only negative I felt we need to mention, but overall we loved the place. Food was great, our server, Julia, was great. Everyone must try the Fries! Great beer selections, too! My husband had the Chicken Bowl and I had the Steak quesadillas and they were both very good. We will definitely go back.“

“Our food was very good. We started with their meatballs, very tasty. My wife had the fish sandwich, and I did the brisket udon noodle dish. Both are very delicious. Our server, Hunter, did a fanatic job as well. I really like the Bokonon IPA as well. Will be back.“

“This our family’s favorite! The owners and team members are amazing … and make everyone (even our dog) feel special.“

“Dinner just this week. Food was, as always, delicious and very well presented! Service was attentive, efficient, and energetic. A really good wine list! Varied regions and countries with representatives of some of the best and best bargains from “old world” and “new world.” We can verify the wine mark-up is absolutely minimal! We had the walleye and shortribs. Both were really delicious! The kind of food one expects to find in NYC, Chicago, SF, etc. Hats off to this husband and wife team that know how to do it up so well, providing outstanding food, wine, and service!! We will keep coming back!“

“Food is great. We had a food coma after. Elliot was very attentive and gave us a very good service. 6 stars for Elliot!“

“Whenever we go by, we stop. The staff is personable and attentive, the coffee and teas are great, and we especially enjoy the treats. It is not the sterile, mispronounce your name, too hip to be pleasant vibe that many other shops have.“

“Great food, staff and friendly welcoming atmosphere 👍“

“Absolutely loved our visit here. The food is amazing and the beer pairs perfectly. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone needs to experience this gem.“

“There are a few bars in Grand Rapids that open at 7am and accommodate third shift workers. This is by far my favourite. The Logan's Breakfast is a generous, affordable option after a long night of work, coupled with their ample options for beer, and accepting staff.“

“Service was great! Cider and cocktails were great! Food was pretty good, but the menu has been heavily reduced. I thought it was silly that they got rid of the veggie wrap, but they still have wraps and veggies available to make this item - so why not keep it on the menu?
Seems wise to also offer a meatless patty substitute for burgers, an easy thing to keep stocked in the freezer.
I know allergen friendly offerings aren't the main priority for many places, but some very basic options would be helpful 😅“

“Great ice cream there is something for everyone!“

“Super cute ice cream shop! Love the staff and atmosphere. So happy they’re open again!“

“Food was delicious as always. We sat for almost 30 minutes before our drinks were brought out. Our appetizer was brought out with our food. I understand the restaurant was busy, I was just surprised the app or drinks weren't comped for the wait. The temperature was also very warm.“

“One word, yummy! I am a huge fan of Rise, often stopping in for a bagel and latte, so having Rise make the delicious cutting cake was a no-brainer! After we cut our cake, we had the remaining sliced and available for guests. Not a single slice was left, so it’s safe to say our guests also found it to be delicious!“

“I had a great experience at Olives tonight. Everyone from the hostess (Elise) to our waitress (Emily) exemplified great customer service. A couple of my favorites were the brussel sprouts and the lychee drink. We will be back!“

“price and taste 5 stars. tried fudge, mint and cookies cream. very creamy“

“Amazing ice cream!! Husband and I love coming here!“

“I was late picking up my order which included a Nitro cold brew, only to find out they don't prepare the Nitro until you arrive. Clutch. The Barista offered to remake my Americano, which I declined because that sucker is already strong enough. Incredibly convenient pickup location for your natural caffeine on the go!“

“Amazing experience and for anyone who’s new to the Cigar world, BOLD gets you well taken care of. Outstanding hospitality, drinks were on point, the staff were absolutely phenomenal in assisting us. The overall atmosphere was just what I was looking for in a nice Cigar lounge.“

“Had so much fun! We had a wonderful server today—really on top of her game. The manager was there, and she was very professional. I could tell she loved her job. The food was phenomenal! Try the Parmesan-crusted chicken! 🍗 SO GOOD!

Kid-friendliness: Kids love steaks“

“From the moment we walked in , till the moment we walked out we were thoroughly impressed. From the wonderful ambiance to fantastic people. Our waitress, Em was absolutely the best. She gave us extremely helpful hints on the menu. The brussel sprouts appetizer was out of this world. We locked in on the cast iron pork and the smothered chicken thighs. These were both phenomenal. We tried four different sides , the Mac and cheese , onion rings, fried okra, and fried rosemary potatoes. They were all fantastic. We will definitely return and can only hope to be seated in Em's sections. She really was a true pleasure to have as our waitress.“

“I had the butter chicken and samosas, whoever was in the kitchen put there foot in it!!! Very delicious“
