46 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Excelsior

“Outstanding food. Never disappointed.“

“This Dunn Brothers does not compare to the one in St. Michael. They can not make sugar-free mochas and food is lacking. Many young people are working here. One today was wearing an airpod while taking orders. I also had to put in my own splenda... not an issue at a normal coffee house. But when you pay $6 plus tip for a cold brew, put a Splenda in there when asked. I do like that I have seen so many dogs in and out of there, which makes me smile. Also, I love the jewelry they sell.“

“nice little stop along the excelsior bay coastline. great place for some of MN favorite Sébastien Joe's Ice cream and a few other snacks and small food items. Awsome place to bring the kids or pets...great customer service with a smile and all around lovely atmosphere. e wn have a couple of chairs and benches to sit at while you eat your ice cream or stroll along the park path. we will be back many times.“

“My husband and I came from Ohio to celebrate his birthday and we had some time to kill before attending Paisley Park for our tour. So we stopped at this establishment and the staff and the people in the area were friendly. As for the brew I'm not a beer drinker but I did try the Rosé seltzer and it was really good. Hubby and I definitely had a great experience!“

“Delicious pastries, great service and atmosphere.“

“We were welcomed with open arms yesterday! The food was simply amazing! We recommend the Urban Cowboy Burger and the Tacos!!! We will be back again, thanks again Ben!“

“The food was the best, I mean the absolute best.“

“Had a wonderful experience for dinner on a very busy Dec. 23rd. Our party of 3 arrived at about 6:10 to a waiting list of approx. 6 other parties. We were told 20 minutes to wait, it was no more than 15 minutes. Service was spot-on time-wise and efficiency-wise. Food was excellent. Portions were huge. I feel it is a great place to enjoy a meal.“

“always wonderful perfect thin crispy crust perfect ratio of toppings today we had the El Camino - excellent but the spicy arbol chili red sauce was too hot for us we should have asked for mild or just pico de Gallo. our son will enjoy it“

“Great service…great food…great prices!“

“Tried for the first time tonight and it won’t be our last! Fast, delicious and great service and atmosphere! A new favorite for sure!“

“The best hot dog ever! 🤤 Very friendly service!“

“Love the friendly atmosphere. Many events. Family and dogs welcomed. Outside is great with large movie screen for sport events. Great DJ.“

“The Pineapple Boat was Amazing! Loved the street tacos!“

“I reached out via their Facebook messenger to order a custom cake for Mother's Day. Communication was prompt and courteous. The cake turned out so stinking cute! It was just the right amount of icing to cake ratio and so moist! Will definitely order cakes in the future!“

“Beyond impressed with the phenomenal customer service at CTC! The staff is so kind & incredibly helpful. I love trying their sandwiches, wraps and of course coffee too. Everything has been so great.“

“Great service… Every friendly staffing… welcomes everyone…“

“Probably one of the few coffee shops that offered some sort of refillable drip coffee option. I was in a hurry but I plan on returning to take advantage of that. Plenty of seating and comfy atmosphere that would be excellent to bring a book or a laptop for some quiet work time!“

“One on my favorite breweries, they have great beer, friendly staff, and fun times. The brewery is very community centric, and dog friendly. There are two patios, one that is out front of the building and the other in updstairs. The upstairs patio is very quite and one the best kept secrets in Shakopee. The beers are great, the Hazy IPA is incredible and the Mexican lager is amazing. There is a reason these beers keep wining in the MN brewer's cup.“

“I showed up about 30 minutes early, for my on-line order. The man at the counter greeted me and asked if he could help me and I explained I was early. He responded with let me get that going for you! These burgers are SO tasty, I did the burger of the month, onion rings, and a chocolate malt. The service is always impeccable!“

“Beer is great here (i barely booze these days but sampling is still a thing). Im a beer snob and this is one of the few brew pubs that consistently delivers high quality beer. Love the layout, open air feel and lots of tables, kid friendly- very much neighborhood vibes. Loads of bikers stop here- i mean a lot a lot. Like the tour de france except every day. Bikers are a weird lot (sorry to say that you spandex wearing clip clopping state of the art helmet wearing crazies). I guess riding makes more sense when there is beer involved (like most activities). Ha!“

“This was our first time here and we had such a great time. So many beverage options and a fun, relaxed place to be. We will be back very soon!“

“I just watched one of Josh’s videos and saw what y’all did. Any business that helps their community is just amazing to see but any business that’s willing to go half in as soon as they heard it was for the homeless shelter just melts my heart and gains my recommendation any day. I Haven’t been to Minnesota and would love to try y’all’s food one day. Just by looking at some of those chicken sandwiches makes me so hungry.“

“People like to say, "this is some of the best food outside of (insert city)." The Noble Lion has some of the best food anywhere and amazing staff as well!“

“Best tasting beer around. Great atmosphere“

“Boom Island Brewing and The Tile Shop Thanks for a great Party. What a great Brewery and they know how to host a Party! 💯“

“Beautiful! I can’t say enough about the wonderful summer vibes of this gorgeous restaurant! The only thing I noticed out of place were the napkins. Mine was all white but the table next to me had stripes? Don’t skip on the delicious calamari- prepared fresh by the scratch kitchen! The craft cocktails were delicious! However my favorite part of the experience was our server Sara! She made great recommendations and even better company! I would have invited her to join the table and stay but I would have had to take a number because all the guests were loving her!“

“Great staff always taking care of your needs and an awesome venue to listen to music.“

“Great food, great service!“

“Great food and better service. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Highly recommend! As a local to the area, I think it is incredibly important to support small businesses! Even when they are super busy and running like mad trying to bartend, run trivia, change kegs, and make sure all customers have what they need, their staff is great. Reading through previous reviews, it’s clear that some people have never worked in the industry and have no patience or compassion.“

“Wonderful team with great suggestions and assistance! Best coffee around- whoever roasts their coffee is an expert!!! We had our crew meeting there and they accommodated no problem with a quick call ahead! I would recommend it highly!!“

“Great to see the turn out for Goat Fest 2025. It was too busy and super long wait times in line to get a beer. Parking in the side ditch on Hwy 61/Chaska Blvd and the long walk up the hill was not ideal but it was because so many came out for this event so all is well, we have fun. Can't review the beers as the line was so long, never got one after paying the $15 admission. May try it again on a different day.“

“Best marine on the lake 👍🏽“

“Great staff and food. Very fresh has a fun golf club machine“

“Great customer service!!!“

“My wife and I were thoroughly impressed. The wings were some of the best I've ever had and the prices were incredibly cheap. $7 for the Brindisi burger with fries?! My wife had the beef stew and it was great as well. Server was friendly and the patio was nice.“

“The chicken Parmesan and asada bowl are some my favorite dishes here. The Happy hour Buy 1 Get 1 for $1 is the best in the area. I typically come because bartender Julieta is awesome and fast with drinks.“

“Delicious barbecue chicken and peach tea. Excellent service. Very nice patio.“

“Excellent brunch food! A great variety, cooked to perfection, and amazing service!“

“Great service and better food“

“We had a great meal last night at the Lake Room. The bar area was packed, but the dining room was less so (nice for noise). We shared appetizers (deviled eggs and chicken skewers) which were both excellent. Entrees were also very good - bone-in pork chop and shrimp and grits. Wednesdays are 1/2 off bottles of wine night, so we enjoyed an excellent red. Service was great. We love this place!“

“I was visiting family in Mound this day. Walked into the outside seating because I needed a meal and to bring my dog with. Staff was welcoming to us both. Asked for a burger for my dog, staff even asked how he would like it! Very enjoyable to be able to sit outside with my buddy and have a beer and something to eat. Thank you for the hospitality Carbone's!“

“The bacon wrapped cod was delectable and the steak fajita bowl was very delicious. The beet tartare was a bit underwhelming was probably the only down. Restaurant week menu allow us to try a little of everything and we throughly enjoyed the experience.“

“Birch's is one of the best places to go in the entire Twin Cities. It's unique yet, classic in many ways. Delicious food. Great Staff. Beautiful Ambiance. The crowds always bring a great energy.“
