47 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Grand Rapids

“Fun time and cost friendly. Tried Games I would have overlooked at a store. We had the 1 lb. pretzel(twice), plain fries and chicken tenders. Pretzel was huge! fries salted perfectly, and good helping of chicken for our party of 4. We tried 3 games. Kitchen Rush was our favorite. While it has a bar, you don't feel like your in a Bar. We had 2 teenagers with us and were very comfortable. Only thing we would like to have them add, an automatic card shuffler.“

“Super fun speciation themed brewery! The owner was really nice—I had emailed to say I was sad that they had closed for an event during the time I tried to go earlier (since I was only in town very briefly from out of state). He responded to apologize and let me know when they were open again and I’m glad I made it back during my trip to Grand Rapids. They have lots of fun speciation-themed glassware and shirts etc.“

“We had a wonderful time at Brewery Vivant. Elsie (aka Kelsie minus the Potassium) was absolutely wonderful - top notch service, personable, kind, patient, funny. The food was excellent - we ordered the duck nachos, charcuterie board, pomp frites, and monk salad. Great food, great beer, great company. Can't ask for a better experience.“

“My favorite outdoor coffee spot in the city.“

“Wood grilled pizza is so delicious! Wide variety menu, cute outdoor seating. Great location.“

“Creston hosted us for our rehearsal dinner in their Golden Age room. We had so many compliments from our guests on the food, space, bar, sound system, etc. Helen planned the event on such short notice when another venue cancelled, and she was so pleasant, prompt and professional to work with. Could not recommend them enough for your event!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Nice place. More known for beer than food, the menu seems like an afterthought. It was good mind you, just a bit on the boring side. Our servers were attentive. Saw all different age ranges, but the music is definitely for the heavy metal crowd. Not too loud though and it was easy to talk without having to yell. All in all a good experience.“

“Delicious pizza, and love the pizza flight option (pictured). Being able to try 6 different flavors of pizza in one meal is a great experience. And the flavors are distinct and well-developed.
Downsides included overcooked garlic knots and a really long wait for the pizza after ordering. But overall, I'm looking forward to my next opportunity to try this pizza again.“

“Overall, very good. We arrived during happy hour and it was pretty busy outside and we only saw a couple of servers. The patio had a lovely atmosphere, although the table next to us was definitely close enough to eavesdrop on our convo, we were just chatting casually, so it was fine.

The only actual negative was that we didn't know we couldn't get a bottle of wine at happy hour price before our server brought it and opened it at our table. I think we would have saved 20 or so dollars if we had just bought 4 glasses instead.

The goat cheese appetizer was very yummy. We could have used 2 or 3 more pieces of bread, but we ended up just eating it with the spoon because we couldn't let it go to waste. For entrees, we had mac and cheese and the al pastor bowl. Both very good and well seasoned. For sure we will come back, it was a nice afternoon spot and felt very casual.

Dietary restrictions: The server specifically asked if we had any food allergies or restrictions, which we appreciated.“

“We got the Vegan breakfast burrito and my gosh was it delicious! It was much larger than we were anticipating and way more appetizing too! We were so happy with the choice we made for breakfast. The Early Bird will be our go to from now on!“

“I mobile order here frequently and never have any issues. The staff are always super kind and welcoming. My drinks are always made correctly and in a timely manner. Parking can be an issue depending on time of day, but most of the time I am able to park my car and run in to grab my drink(s) without issue. Love having this quick option in GR!“

“Great ice cream and great staff“

“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.“

“Logan's has become my new favourite breakfast place. Everything is just really solid and tasty. I really like their nachos and my husband enjoys their breakfast quesadilla. We absolutely love the staff - everyone is so friendly! Its cozy and casual and I love feeling like I can just come in my workout clothes and hang out.“

“Great time for all ages! Prices are great & there is mini golf for some fun!“

“Stopped in to try their hand crafted ice cream, and really happy I did. Lots of choices, I picked the WhatChaMaCallIt ice cream in a bowl, excellent. I’d get it again but learned that the flavors change and aren’t always available. So…I’ll come again and try something different. Definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended.“

“There were 10 of us dining at Olive's tonight. Wonderful service from Alec; the place was hopping but he was cool, calm, and patient. The food and drinks were wonderful and I felt the bill was very reasonable. We love having this great neighborhood spot.“

“We went with Rise Authentic Baking co. For my daughter’s 1st birthday smash cake and cupcakes! They were adorable, tasted amazing, and were pretty affordable for what we ordered! Amazing customer service!“

“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.“

“The food here was great. Everything we ordered came out excellent, with the exception of the chicken on my wife's chicken sandwich. Her chicken was bland and didn't appear to be seasoned. My son's burger was excellent. My salad was great, and the fries and cheese sauce were spectacular...as always.

The atmosphere is cool. The decorations are funky and fun. The service was good. Our server was attentive and responsive. The food took a long time to come out, but the restaurant was busy.“

“Walking by and spontaneously decided to get a pizza to take back to the hotel (Tuesday evening 5:30) . The host kindly directly me to the takeout counter. The very friendly young man took my order, everything came out perfectly. I was glad he offered utensils because I forgot to ask. We got the thin crust pepperoni - it was fantastic! Crispy edges, nice cheesy pull, great taste. Very glad we stopped. Great service and food!“

“Stopped here to enjoy some ciders. Started off with a flight to try out a few ones we had interest in. Through a tasting of those 4 selected a full size honeycrisp to enjoy. Atmosphere is great, neat spot to see the operations, good space, and opportunities to enjoy yourself. Service was a bit disappointing on this visit. Slow and when we wanted to order food we had to wait and ultimately ask someone to take our order. We only ordered the loaded fries which should be pretty easy and quick, but took forever. When they did show up, fries were barely warm. Thinking they were forgotten. We had gone back and forth about ordering entrees and with that experience decided to pay our bill and go somewhere else. Plenty of parking and bathrooms were good. Ciders were nice, just wish the service and food had been better.

Parking: Plenty of park with lower and upper lot.“

“Our server was ABSOLUTELY amazing!!!! A friend and I brought our dogs with us to eat, and for most places it can be very stressful. Our server was super sweet greeted us and every the dogs, said a friendly hello and asked politely to pet them too. When we got our drink order she also brought little tins of water out for our dogs. Overall the places was absolutely amazing! 10/10“

“The menu options were uniquely amazing with a choice to suit each individual's taste. The food was cooked perfectly with bold and thoughtful flavor combinations. If you're looking to try something new that could easily become a staple place to visit, then Tupelo Honey is that place.“

“Always a pleasure to visit for the donuts and other sweets and then hit up the gift barn. They have a beautiful unique collection of gifts for all ages. My favorite is the women's clothing and accessories. My son loves all the kids things.“

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

“This new location was worth the wait! The menu isn't overwhelmingly large, but the items are thoughtful and locally sourced. The outdoor space is beautiful and vibrant, the living flower wall and mural really make it a welcome space. Great experience, can't wait to come back!“

“Miranda was incredible, her attitude and aptitude were stellar. She knew the wines inside and out as well as the menu and made the perfect pairing for each of our courses based upon our personal likes. We will definitely return next time we're in GR!“

“Great place! The staff is awesome, the food is good, and there’s always amazing music!“

“Great place with even better staff! Made it an enjoyable night out!“

“Great food, atmosphere and service!“

“We stopped in here on Saturday afternoon and I had the PCHERRYDACTYL which was amazing. I love a sour beer and this one had the perfect cherry hint.I had the MOTHER NATURE’S RETURN sandwich which was the perfect mixture of sweetness with the dried cranberries. I especially like the caramelized onions. They had a roasted red pepper tomato soup on special for the day and these two paired great tougher. The patio was full however we sat in the back room which was so bright and warm from the sun, our server was attentive and cheery. Great location for lunch and to enjoy some delicious beers!“

“The staff there is very attentive and genuine even though they were hustling to serve other customers! I was torn on what to eat, but when my server said the corned beef was made in-house...I just had to have a corned beef! Which was awesome!“

“Perfect, on time thank you karki restaurant“

“As a local in downtown Grand Rapids, I like to think I know the nightlife. I can honestly say that Eli, Jake, and KJ are the friendliest bouncers in the city. Efficient and thorough. With a staff like this… I will gladly make The B.O.B my bar of choice.“

“Barrio catered an event for me lastnight, it was for about 20 people and everyone's reaction was above satisfactory. We should have ordered more food. Definitely a great choice for a catered event and can't wait to go eat at the restaurant.“
