50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Oakdale

“Very high quality food. Steak was amazing and the salad was fantastic. Portions were great for the pricing. Lots of places now have poor salads and this place had an amazing salad. Very fresh and great mixed greens. Great service and easy parking. Would come back again and again.“

“We recently got married (October 2024) and Lake Elmo Inn catererd our wedding. It was absolutely AMAZING! We had the prime rib carving station and the walleye as well as the duck soup and salad. Our guests are still talking about the food. We decided to upgrade to the "LEI Experience" which means each of your guests get a warm hand towel, an intermezzo sorbet, and a chocolate covered strawberry!!! We were over the moon with the service on the night of the wedding and all our communication with LEI throughout the process. Special shoutout to Kayla G. who was the most patient, professional, and kind event manager! She answered every single one of my (many) questions and she did so with a smile! On the night of the wedding, we were SO impressed with how fast the servers were able to get to each of our guest tables and keep the flow going. It was seamless, seriously. We cannot recommend Lake Elmo Inn Catering enough. They've total pro's and just know that you'll be in good hands. Thank you again to everyone on the team for your hard work to make the dream come true!! <3“

“Love this place. A true East Side gem. We have tried the Burgers, Shawarma wrap and bowls totally addicting. Chicken tenders are a hit and don't forget the Gyros they are awesome. Ice cream better than the DQ. Try to visit there one a week. The owners are lovely, very friendly.“

“Accidentally arrived at Brunson's for lunch because the place down the road where we were supposed to go was closed. Best service I've had anywhere in America since before covid. Food was excellent, made from scratch, and doubt anyone could go wrong on the menu. Highly recommend.“

“I have been wanting to go here for years ever since Mendoberri closed. We came here for a work holiday party for about 20 people. Food was delicious and unique (and lots of vegetarian options), cozy vibe, wonderful drinks & great service! I plan on coming back soon and would highly recommend!p“

“We had a late request for them to stop by a three year-old party. They facilitated it and everyone in attendance enjoyed it thoroughly. Lots of different products“

“We just had the most amazing cheesesteaks! If you want the real east coast south Philly cheesesteak....you must go here!“

“The bartenders and whole staff are very welcoming! Food is always perfect. Love the spice!“

“Excellent pizza and cheesesteak sandwiches! Kids loved it as well! Food was ready quickly and staff was very friendly. My faves are the Spicy Tono, South Philly and Truffle Fries. Everything was delicious!“

“I love the Mediterranean wrap and gyros! They have excellent cocktails and our bartender/server (Aiden or Haiden?) was lots of fun!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Sub sandwich in town!! Bonus the ice cream and Dole Whip flavors are worth the weekly visit!!“

“We went to the cities to see Evanescence on the 20th of September and had layover time for the concert to start so my husband and I walked from the venue to Little Brazil. Unfortunately, we got absolutely drenched walking back to the show. Not only that, but we forgot our precious signed posters from the band at our table . The staff saved our posters and kept them safe until we made it back to get them the next day which we truly appreciated. They would have been destroyed by the weather otherwise. We were SO enamored with this gem of a place, it was WORTH the soaked clothes, chattering teeth and watching the rest of the concert soaked through! There is definitely something for everyone whether it be coffee, dessert, sandwiches. They also have a market of imported goods to try like chocolate, candies, snacks etc. Now whenever we are near the cities, it's going to be a must stop! 💖“

“Really good food but 4 bucks for a fountain soda??? Cmon.“

“Usually good experience unless its packed. It gets a little confusing then. The smaller cookies are better to me because they tend to be a little more on the done side. If you enjoy slightly under cooked cookies you'd like the bigger size. They are pricy though so I only go once in a while.“

“They have some of the nicest staff here. Always working so hard and being thoughtful. I love the atmosphere, plants and always clean in every spot. Would highly recommend any of their coffee drinks :) Also they have a great Celiac/Gluten free menu options!!“

“Beautiful patio and great pizza and beer!“

“Pizza is always killer. The man running the place is always so polite when we pick up our order. I'd say for me it's bordering on too much cheese but the pizza fries and sauce are amazing! And it's one of the few places that has artichokes available. It's also cash only.“

“Excellent place for sushi. Great atmosphere as well.“

“Angie and staff took amazing care of us. We were "celebrating" our father/grandfather's passing and the experience was so amazing. always great food and it was even better with the amazing service. thank you Zes!“

“I enjoy "mining" the $2 bins for hidden treasures!“

“today was my first day visiting this location and it will not be my last. The food was spectacular and the service was outstanding. The atmosphere was very welcoming. I can’t believe it took me so long to find this beautiful gem. I will definitely be returning soon.“

“Food is good. Stopped in for dinner last night. 12 bucks for a Sam Adams Oktoberfest on tap seems a little excessive.“

“The food and atmosphere was absolutely awesome. Everything we tried had so much flavor. You also get so much food for what you pay for, and it’s worth every penny. Will be showing it off to family and friends!“

“Comfortable place for some craft beers“

“I went here for the first time today. The service was amazing, the coffee and food was great, and they have a cute little merchandise area. I will definitely be going again!“

“Great place to grab a bite to eat while in Lower Town. Very warm, inviting space, including games and Legos! The food was delicious and exactly as we ordered it. The staff was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back.“

“I am not in the area to visit this business but if you are or passing through Minnesota stop in. Tell them Josh sent you! They are kind and caring about their community and gave free meals to the Homeless. So please give them a visit. *I heard the food is a #10 too! Thanks Kong’s Kitchen!“

“Best brisket and beans money or random kindness can get you 🔥♥️ We loved it and will be back next week“

“Amazing atmosphere, great food and reasonably priced. The live music is a plus!!!“

“Stopped in on 1/29/26 evening. The server was very informative of what was on tap. Described them to make a choice. Tried a flight to have a sample of 4 different offerings.
Server was friendly and carried on a conversation- great asset to the team!! Fair price - friendly - great atmosphere. Worth a stop“

“THE BEST!!!“

“The Bulldog has the best food and drinks, and Melissa is the best server in town.“

“I loved it. I got the 3 tacos (asada y chorizo) with rice and beans and it was greattt! Coming from somebody who eats authentic food a lot the tacos were great especially compared to other Mexican restaurants. The restaurant is beautiful and I would come back again!“

“I grew up in IGH and am always excited to see a new restaurant addition. This has quickly become a go-to local take-out option for family get togethers. The staff is friendly (and very patient w my 70-year-old father who does not pronounce a single dish correctly when ordering). The food is delicious, the portions are very generous, they know their way around take-out packaging (separate hot/cold, secure containers for liquid), and they are FAST. It is not at all unusual to get a “ready in 10 min” estimate, even around dinner time. Our go-to order includes: spring rolls, cream cheese wontons, combination or meatball pho, chicken vermicelli salad, and pad thai. Enjoy!“

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!“

“Wonderful service, great food and fun atmosphere!“

“My human gets out of the car and goes to the truck. She comes back with a plastic disk and then we sit there for a while. The disk buzzes and flashes and the my human goes back to the truck and comes back with the best food ever. I don’t get to eat the goat tacos because they give me the midnight poops but the chicken quesadilla is the best.“

“I love love loveeeee the Robert street store! The manager is amazing (I call her my cookie lady) she is always giving me her recommendations and once when I told her I didn’t like I flavor I bought from another store she said pick one out I’ll give it to you for free - she didn’t need to do that- and I didn’t accept but her customer service is above and beyond!!!!“

“great food and good service“

“Great people and atmosphere. Clean place, fun history, cold beer, and cool staff. We'll be back.“

“very spacious and quick service“

“May 17th near 7pm ish. I was doing a door dash order for someone and a nice dude handling the order said they didn’t have the waffle cone bowl. My heart sank bc that day everything was going wrong with all the door dash orders I had. Long story but props to that guy for accommodating to the order and he offered me a small ice cream dish. He’s a real one and should keep him around/ raise.“

“We had a Fantastic! time this weekend at the wine, cheese and chocolate tasting! Lots of fun treats to be had. We will be back... Thank you!“

“We got the alambre with 1/2 chicken and 1/2 al pastor and the pollo poblano and it was delicious! Service was excellent. We just moved here from Arizona and it’s been hard to find good Mexican food here, but this place hits the spot! We’ll definitely be back again ☺️👏🏽“

“It has a great patio, great food (I had wings), excellent beers. We sat outside and the place was packed both inside and out. Staff was busy for sure.
When sitting at the bar and when not at the bar it is great but durring peak times (aka diner rush) it can slow down due to being super busy. So just remember that everyone is important and they will get to you. So have some good conversation lined up if you go durring peak time.“

“Great people! Great food! Monthly specials are fun experiments that sometimes end up on the menu. If you haven’t been in a few years, give them another try. The current team and menu are awesome.“

“Absolutely Amazing Pure vegetarian eatery! All our guests were so impressed with the authenticity and topclass taste which felt like home cooked! Thanks to Radhika sriram for the scrumptious satisfying cuisines! Highly recommend this place!“

“great food, great employees nice atmosphere“

“Our kitchen is open. We focus on serving high quality, freshly made to order bar food, with a twist. We offer food specials as well as surprise Gourmet chef specials. We have awesome Bloody Mary's one of the best I've had. We offer drink specials 2 4 1s on domestic beer and premium rails. Our neighborhood is being revamped which is awesome for the bar and community. So if your looking for a cool neighborhood dive bar with awesome staff and great food come Check out The Saint Paul Saloon. P.s The owner is on site and loves to interact with the patrons of the bar.“

“There are very few restaurants that I really want eat at regularly, but Mississippi Pub is one of those. The consistency of the menu is part of that… I know that the wings will be crispy and hot. I know that the brunch items will be savory and plentiful. But the atmosphere is the other. This is NOT fast food! Come to enjoy a cocktail (or an excellent mocktail), the view of the river, and leisurely enjoy the experience. If you’re in a hurry, I’m sure there’s a fast food restaurant you can choose instead 😂“
