50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Grawn

“Oaky’s is out of the way near Grawn, but it’s worth the drive. Old timers knew the place as Giovanni’s Roadhouse, then Maddy’s Tavern. Both had ok food in a rustic building. Oaky’s owners have greatly improved the place. It’s large and airy inside, with a long wraparound deck outside. The food is mighty fine: the kitchen did a first-class job with our Smoked Turkey Club and Steak ’n Mushroom soup. The servers know their stuff and are a pleasure to deal with. The prices are a reasonable - indeed, they’re a buck or two lower per item than what you’ll find at competitors. And the parking lot isn’t the potholed monster like it was back in the old days.“

“Wonderful service and good food 🍲“

“OMG… SOOOOO GOOD! We called ahead to see how busy it was and Stephanie was delightful on the phone. When we came in Stephanie’s warmth, charm and friendliness met us at the door! She chatted with us about the restaurant and how it’s a product of her and her husband’s love for food. Everything is sourced from specific farmers so they know where all their ingredients are coming from! 💗 Our sever Vynessa 😊 was AMAZING, took great care of us, gave recommendations, chatted with us and poured love into her service! The food…. Holy smokes, it was so effing good! We had risotto, the flavors and textures just complemented each other perfectly, the best risotto I’ve ever had. The quiche was just as good and had great ingredients of rapini, sweet potato, broccoli, carmalized onions and more! We also had roasted potatoes and bacon sausage. We grabbed a scone and cinnamon roll to go, haven’t tried them at the time of posting this review. Please go here, support small, support local and have some of the best food of your life! P.S. it was so good, we went back the next day and it was just as wonderful! 💗“

“I treated my friends to dinner tonight and the service was just as fabulous as the food. Our server was Kateri (Kat) she took great care of us and also recommended some of the food items on the menu. Everything was delish. We are definitely going back. Thanks Kat for your great hospitality 😁“

“Great! Love the tofu scramble. Re potatoes- suggestion: they used to be better; now to small, get overcooked too easily. No flavor.“

“Amazing! Went in to enjoy breakfast with my girls and couldn’t have been more impressed. The food is to die for!! The atmosphere is perfect. The staff is great!. I would highly recommend going in, you WILL NOT be disappointed“

“My husband and I both enjoy Indian food. This is hands down the BEST Indian food we’ve ever had! I had Daal Tadka and my husband had Daal Madkani. We also shared garlic naan. The ambience is modern with of course an Indian vibe. The aromas walking in were very enticing yet not over powering. They have a large variety of food. Plenty of vegetarian options which I was pleased with. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was timely yet not constantly interrupting. The chef brings the food to your table which was a lovely touch. I’m addition to the food being delicious, it’s very generous portions. We both had plenty left over to take home. Highly recommend this gem when you’re in Traverse City. We will likely visit it again before we head home next week!“

“Amazing whisky, great atmosphere. A must stop when you are nearby.“

“My husband and I had an incredible experience at LFC. We were in town celebrating our one year anniversary and left foot Charley was our last stop! Michael was extremely attentive and shared so many great stories and tips as we navigated the menu. We ended up trying many varieties (including some we wouldn’t have normally ordered) thanks to him! He was one of the highlights of our trip - thank you so much Michael for helping us end our anniversary trip on such a high note.

Other things to note - the patio is incredible and has ample seating. We loved the vibes inside and the prices are reasonable. We brought our two dogs and they were loved on and welcomed which we appreciated as well. We look forward to coming back!“

“We didnt have food there....yet. Beer was minimal BUT every selection was top notch! In my opinion Jollly Pumpkin has the best sour beer until we tried this place! Great people watching spot downtown! Overall great spot and great beer to just relax. 100% recommend this place!!“

“Earthen Ales is a pleasant place to enjoy a beer. I stopped by to try a flight of beers and really enjoyed their darker ales. It feels pretty casual and welcoming, and I like how it’s kind of hidden away back there. I’ll have to look out for their beers in my neck of the woods.“

“I happen to live in interlachen and I absolutely love their barbecue chicken pizza I never have to worry about it not having sauces I don't have to worry about only liking onion on half I have never had a bad experience and all of the employees are so pleasant“

“If you have a pup, this is the place to be. We took our 11-month-old puppy out for her first time. All the other dogs were very friendly and greeted her at the door. Then they went outside for a good romp in the big yard. The humans were also quite friendly and welcoming. It has a very cozy and welcoming atmosphere. There were a good number of beers on tap and tasty creative holiday drinks. We will definitely return.“

“The best chicken soup you can get in TC!!!!“

“Fun, friendly and energetic staff. they make you excited to get your coffee/Energizer. My daughter was struggling to decide what she wanted and the person taking our order asked her probing questions (like what's your favorite candy, lemonade flavor, lollipop flavor) to help her decide what to get! Definitely recommend!“

“I arrived with one thing in mind, something to help kidney and liver function. there was choices and they were very helpful is narrowing down to exactly what was right for me. their knowledge and customer service are something you only see with locally owned businesses and their passion for tea is phenomenal! Thank you!“

“First time here and it was delicious!!! Fresh, fast , tasty food and friendly service! I don’t make it to TC often, but I’d make a trip for this place when I do!“

“What a fun find! Right Brain Brewery tap room has a super cool, laid-back vibe with plenty of character.
The beers are excellent, we especially loved Free Play and Social Probation. We enjoyed a couple of pints while munching on some tasty appetizers that hit the spot.
The best part for our family? The arcade games! There are tons of them, and they kept our kids happily entertained the entire time.
Friendly staff, a welcoming atmosphere, and a perfect mix of craft beer and family fun. If you’re looking for a brewery that works for both adults and kids, go to Right Brain Brewing.“

“We visited on 7/8 for a lunch. Food was delicious as always. My nephew accidentally dropped his very FULL shake and it hit the wall and spilled on the floor. The staff was incredibly kind and gracious, replacing his drink very quickly and cleaned up the mess in no time. He was VERY sad and embarrassed but Eden was so sweet and showed him such grace. Thank you for helping him feel ok with having an accident and not making him feel worse! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“One of my favorite restaurants - it has excellent options for meat lovers (the braised short ribs are delightful) and vegetarians (the quinoa masa cakes are so good)! Don't forget dessert here either.“

“Everything about my experience with them for my wedding was perfect! Booking was easy and Sharon really worked with us since we lived out of state. Being from Texas, my guests and I had very high expectations for our bbq and they absolutely delivered. I’m still hearing about how it was the best brisket they’ve ever had. And the service from Caitlyn and the others on the day of was phenomenal. I highly recommend!!!“

“Come here every year over New Year’s Eve and if you are coming now, the outdoor pool isn’t even close to up to temp. It is a big disappoint after the 5 hour drive and no one in hospitality bothered to tell anyone staying here about the pool not being warm considering it’s the main attraction to this place“

“On a stormy Monday afternoon, (May 18th), my wife and I were seeking a trendy lunch spot in Traverse City to celebrate our last full day in town and we discovered FireFly. Although the weather was wet and gloomy, our day was instantly brighter when we entered to encounter Leah, our smiley, welcoming, and cheerful waitress. She seated us next to a window, was eager to serve, made great menu recommendations, and was one of the highlights our last day in Traverse City. We would like to give her a huge shout out for making our visit to FireFly memorable.“

“If you want just great beer, no crazy flavors, this is the place. There is no bad beer there, and the food is bonkers. Bonus, tons of live music.“

“Good start to a holiday weekend. Enjoyed the special menu item Thai Red Snapper and fresh asparagus. Very yummy!! Staff went out of their way to keep us informed since they were very busy.“

“Great food, friendly staff and the owner is awesome!“
