50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Oakdale

“Can't say enough good things about this place! We had our wedding reception here just recently (reserved the private party space) and the ambiance, food and drinks were above and beyond. The staff are attentive, super friendly and accommodating. HIGHLY recommend! Thank you, Mana Brewing! ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“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! 💖“

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

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

“THE BEST!!!“

“Great service, great food, friendly staff, and the food was yummy too! They even had eel!! Which honestly is the best. Their bao buns were tasty (unagi) 😋 😍 and then I made a custom rice bowl my kids had a chicken bowl and then there was a rainbow bowl. The place had plenty of seating for small groups.“

“Beautiful patio and great pizza and beer!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I’ve eaten here three times. First place I’ve tried since moving to St. Paul. Can definitely say if you want a good breakfast/lunch this is the place to go. Everything is decently portioned for those who love big meals or would like some food for leftovers overs to enjoy later. Out of what I’ve had I’d recommend the Onigiri (specifically the salmon and pickled onions), any of their fruit teas, and the bacon and Swiss crepe (honestly any of them sound great though). All the food is fresh ingredients and not frozen.

Atmosphere is very chill and down to earth. Very cozy and comfort oriented. Only complaint is that if it’s busy not a lot of room to work with and can be a little loud. When it’s slower very nice place to hang out with friends and listen to the music they play.

The service is 5/5! Very nice, relatable, and fast service.“

“I got the jalapeno cream cheese wontons and a kids pho and both of them were absolutely amazing the pho was delicious and the broth didnt taste like it was prepackaged and the wontons were huge and full of so much creamcheese😋i definitely got my moneys worth“

“Great little spot,! Service is great super friendly.
The dogs are amazing!

The kids here attract a trendy croud!
Do yourself a favor and stop by and support this local kiddos.
It's a great place.“

“Comfortable place for some craft beers“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“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“

“Great view, food and beer selection. Great service team…“

“Great vibes, great staff.
We came in while exploring our pub pass locations both this and last year and they don't disappoint! It's a nice area with a bit of a lake view from inside. Outside seating with games and stuff.
The passion fruit seltzer was amazingly flavorful and the pizza (we got the combo) was pricey but good. Nice and crispy with a good amount of toppings and cheese. Had a lovely time!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Yummy blue berry scones and of course coffee!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 had our meals delivered so we can only say it was delicious. I love the flavor of their hot sauce. We had the burritos and chimichangas with rice and beans. Lettuce, tomato and sour cream on the side,Thank You. So good and fresh ingredients.“

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

“Great view, food and beer selection. Great service team…“

“Food was delicious
Best Burger ive had in a long time
My lady friend had the reuben, its her favorite place and I see why the food is great.

Server was quite a bit over the top loud, tables where loud and obnoxious.

Would definitely come back if it wasn't on a dinner or weekend. To see if its better.“
