50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ballwin

“Best chicken shawarma in the area by far. The sauces are delicious and the fries are seasoned with the perfect blend of spices that bring them to life. Great, fast service too!“

“LOVE Mia Sorellas. Amazing dinner, delicious cocktails and A+ atmosphere! Added to my favorite spots list.“

“Happy Grandbaby! ❤️ Best Custard!“

“Great place. Delicious food and a great hostess! Thanks Nikki! Really takes all precautions to social distancing!“

“Kaelen Felix recommended this lovely restaurant. We enjoyed meeting the owner and her staff that helped us pick the best taco. She was right. We actually tried five different ones. They were all delicious. I particularly liked how they doubled up the delicious corn tortillas. The exciting spice and the crisp onions or salad toppings made a savory meal. we will be returning! We would recommend this to anyone who enjoys authentic food“

“Delicious! Hope to return soon to try the grilled salmon.“

“Wonderfully friendly staff, amazing in house crafted syrup! Breakfast burrito was “the best!” according to my husband! My iced coffee with Spanish vanilla is fantastic!“

“I go to the Shack at least once a month. I was there recently and received excellent food and service. Jennifer was great server, nothing was too much trouble. She helped move all of our coats and bags in order to change our seats. She was cheerful and helpful. I bring my out-of-town guests here often. The menu includes healthy,creative, delicious entrees, and as well as gluten free options.“

“Visited last weekend and it was amazing. I had iced tiramisu latte and my daughter had iced raspberry latte and it was so good! We had a veggie empanada and an espresso roll that were delicious. Bought a bag of beans to take home and it was great. Beautiful shop (Eureka location) hope to make it back again!“

“Gioia’s Winghaven is our go to for sandwiches! Always get the order correct, always timely service, always wonderful customer service, always delicious! The only complaint is I can’t have them on Sunday! :( We’ve tried to go back to other sandwich shops on a Sunday and it never compares to Gioia’s. You’ve raised the bar so much, now everyone else is a disappointment.“

“One of the best coffee homes in town. Home because of how cozy + welcoming the atmosphere + employees are without fail. Also experts at being involved in their community.“

“Great atmosphere and bar. Friendliness of staff 50/50. Not enough seating. Music too loud. Can’t have a conversation.“

“First time at Taco Buddha! Great food! Great staff! Staff went up above and beyond to help with my order, today! Thank you for such Great customer service at the Kirkwood location 💕“

“I absolutely LOVE the Orange Dreamsicle at Narwhals! It's my favorite guilty pleasure. If you remember orange pushpops - this drink will bring you right back to your childhood. I have tried several other favors and they are all delicious but the orange dreamsicle is the best.

I get Narwhals frequently and I have even had them cater an event. Having the drink machines at our family reunion was a huge hit. They made the experience so pleasant and easy - I highly recommend adding their service to your next event.

I go out of my way to get Narwhals and love it everytime. The employees are always so friendly and helpful with trying new flavors. I highly recommend giving them a try if you haven't.

And our kids love their smoothies. They have great non-alcholic options as well.“

“The chimichanga is fantastic and I can't get enough of the rice. So good!“

“Timothy’s by far surpassed my expectations in every aspect! The service was exceptional. The food was to die for, so much flavor. The drinks were fun and balanced. The atmosphere was intimate and moody. I will be telling everyone I see on the sidewalk about this restaurant! I can’t wait to go back!“

“They deserve a 5.0 rating and not just a 4.9!!! The bibimbap was so good, you definitely get your money's worth out of the portion, and if you like spice, definitely something I suggest! The sushi was good as well. I also suggest getting the green tea icecream. Very subtle taste, creamy, and the after taste is where you get the green tea. The complimentary pineapple was wonderful and also a nice touch. Wonderful service and restaurant.“

“I had the chance to check out Dave’s Hot Chicken in Chesterfield, Missouri this past weekend, and I ended up going both Saturday and Sunday. That alone should say a lot about how good the experience was.
One thing that really stood out to me right away was how they opened their doors to support our Army Reserve unit. They made it easy for us to come in, get a solid meal, and stay within a budget of under $14 per person. That’s not something every place is willing to work with, and it showed a lot of respect and appreciation for service members. It meant a lot to me and the team.
Now let’s talk about the food. Dave’s Hot Chicken lives up to its name. The wings are hot. If you like spice, this is your spot. What I liked most is that it is not just heat for the sake of heat. The flavor is there too. The seasoning is on point, and you can tell they put effort into making sure the food actually tastes good, not just burns your mouth. Even going back the second day, the quality was consistent, which is something I always pay attention to.
They also had a great selection of food and drinks. Whether you want to go all in on spice or keep it more mild, there are options for everyone. That makes it easy if you are going with a group like we were, because not everyone has the same tolerance for heat. No one felt left out, and everyone walked away full.
The service was another big highlight. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and on top of everything. Even with a group coming in, they handled it smoothly and kept things moving. You could tell they cared about making sure we had a good experience. That kind of customer service goes a long way and is something I do not take for granted.
The restaurant itself was clean and well taken care of. Tables were wiped down, the floors looked good, and the overall atmosphere felt organized. It is one of those things that might seem small, but it makes a big difference when you are sitting down to eat.
Overall, this was a great experience. Good food, strong flavors, fair pricing, and a team that knows how to take care of their customers. The fact that they supported our Army Reserve group and worked within a budget just made it even better.
I would definitely come back again, and honestly, I probably will the next time I am in the area. If you are in Chesterfield and want something with real flavor and a little kick, Dave’s Hot Chicken is worth checking out.“

“Excellent Sushi! Great service! Definitely our favorite restaurant!“

“Long much needed POSITIVE Post. Please scroll to the ***** to see what I got. I was working a private event with Blues Fired Pizza on Saturday and as I was closing the truck door to begin prepping and service, a friendly warm voice from an older gentleman said “Hello!” From the side as he was talking to the event coordinator. After shift I stuck around to wander the area and wanted to check out their truck. I met Steve (that friendly warm voice that had greeted me hours before) and he asked me how I was and how we did. Asked me if I’d like to order anything. I was shocked because I didn’t want to assume I could also order- having not been part of the event. I asked if it was okay and he said “Sure! We have to take care of our own!” With a genuine smile on his face. I heard stories of this industry being a cut-throat business. I was more than willing to pay for my pizza but Steve assured me it was okay. (I did drop a tip in their tip can) 🙂 ***** I had the 8" Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza. Garlic/Ranch Sauce, Chicken, Bacon, Jalapeño, Cheddar Cheese and Mozzarella Cheese. (Pictured) It was AMAZING! I’m so tired of these big chain pizza places and I’m sooo happy that I went to Blues Fired Pizza’s truck! The dough was fresh, soft, and had that fire oven taste and crisp. You can tell the dough is made from scratch. I’ve driven past them numerous times in Kirkwood at their little pizza shack… but never stopped in. I’ll be glad to come by and order for sure! I greatly appreciated the hospitality. It was a great service and experience. Thank you, Steve!!! It was very nice to have met you, Sam, and Brian! I hope to see y’all sometime. -The other Sam.“

“Yesterday was our first time there. Food was really good, will definitely be back.“

“nothing makes me happier than Peri Peri , ❤️“

“Absolutely love this place. Healthy food that actually tastes good.“

“Donuts were great!! Quite surprised.“

“I have lived in 7 states in my life and this is one of my the best restaurants I’ve ever been too. Consistently the best Walleye in the world and the ambiance for a fisherman/hunter like myself is top notch. The most underrated restaurant in Saint Louis. If I was on death row and they asked me what I wanted for my last meal I would say “TAKE ME TO YELLOWSTONE CAFE PLEASE”.“

“Probably the best experience at a restaurant we’ve ever had. Ethan, the waiter, was personable, accommodating, and friendly! Food was exceptional as well!“

“Great atmosphere and service“

“I got a pizza with garlic alfredo sauce and italian sausage and extra cheese. My pizza arrived as ordered. I had to wait for a refill of my drink twice. The was only 1 server working today at lunch and for the size of this place they should have a second server at lunch.“

“Good restoran but I don’t know it’s Turkish, or Arabic name of restaurant, Arabic and food Turkish“

“My sister gifted my husband and I a gift card for Xmas. She works for three kings in south county another establishment with the same owners. The food and atmosphere at Three Kings is so great that we were thrilled to see they’d opened a Mexican restaurant as we love tacos! Just from walking up from the partying lot, I knew it would be great! The outside dining had lots of themed touches that were really nice! Soon as we walked in we were greeted and told of our wait time. we really appreciated that the hostess took our number and called us when our table was ready. We ended up sitting and waiting, we like to people watch :D the decor was gorgeous! I loved the succulent chandelier, the floral walls, the ceramic and the mosaic touches! All of their establishments are inviting and really create a nice atmosphere! Our server Charlie was friendly and knowledgeable regarding drinks and food! We each had a delicious margarita! The chips and salsa were fantastic! My husband ordered a smothered burrito and I opted for a taco plate. I was very impressed with the amount of options on the food especially for health conscious people- vegan, gluten free, etc! I loved that I could mix and match, I had a Baja fish taco and the vegan chorizo. Both were amazing! The slaw on the baja taco was sweet and crunchy! This was my first experience with vegan chorizo and it was the perfect amount of spicy! The plantains were delicious and basically became our dessert! We over indulged too much and skipped dessert, but we will be back soon so that we can order the Churros! Highly recommend checking out Tres Reyes and or Three Kings if you haven’t yet! You won’t be disappointed! :)“

“love this place. the crew, the brew, the food is all great- BUT PLEASE bring back the picky eater. we want to come by more often but miss this fav so we just don't drop by as frequently now. thanks!“

“Great coffee, great service. Gentleman preparing the sandwich stated ‘just like grandma makes.’ Indeed it was. Perfection.“

“What an incredible dining experience! I visited Bartolino’s on a Tuesday with business partners, and we were blown away. The atmosphere is top-notch and the entire silver-service feel starts at the door—the place is spotless. We started with some 'on point' cocktails at the bar before moving to our table, where the five-star treatment continued. Our waitress was truly one of the best I’ve ever had; she walked us through the menu and kept the night flowing perfectly through every course. We left completely stuffed and beyond satisfied. Highly recommended!“

“Natalya T was our server, and did an excellent job . She was very friendly , and anticipated what we would need. Excellent!“

“Awesome atmosphere, delicious food, fast and friendly service!! 12 out of 10!“

“Adrian was an incredible server, honestly treated us like family. I’ll be asking to be seated in his section when we return. Food was really good. I suggest the Tues night special, steak dinner!“

“My husband and I stopped in Saturday night. We are new to the area and someone referred us to check it out. We sat at the bar and the bartender's name was Ashley! She was so nice, gave us her favorites and recommendations. I tried the Elderberry Martini which was delish! My husband had the smoked Old Fashion. I love the great variety of the menu. And they offer a Gluten free menu. I wanted to try everything. We landed on the firecracker cauliflower appetizer which was amazing. For dinner we had the Cajun pasta and the Fish and chips. We will definitely be back for the great Happy Hour they offer during the week that Ashley went over with us too.“

“This establishment is fantastic. Not only is the food delish ( corned beef, egg salad and bagels favs) but the customer service is top notch! Ben, Kaylee, Alyssa, Gail, Audrey, Jerry, Mauro, Caleb, Jared. The employees- their customer service is truly the best around. They go out of their way to make us smile. These days it is almost impossible to find a restaurant where everybody is lovely and accommodating. Thank You Leftys for the great food and outstanding customer service. 😁“

“Stopped in and had a wonderful meal! We ordered the chicken dumplings, shrimp dumplings, beef dumplings, and a side of golden broccoli. It was all so delicious! I can’t wait to go back! The service was great and fast. You love soup dumplings you will love this place!!!“

“Over the years, when I've needed something a little more professional than I could find in other brick and mortar stores or the apps like Amazon and eBay who sell primarily cheap Chinese junk with all kinds of false advertising, my wife has found exactly or as near to exactly as I needed here at Cornucopia. Whether it be spatulas, pizza cutters, muffin pans, etc., it was always high quality industrial grade for a home kitchen as well at an economical price. Sure, you're going to pay more for let's say an industrial grade restaurant cookie sheet or metal spatula, but, when the kitchen tool looks and performs like new after ten years or so, and there's no sign it will ever be any different, it's paid for itself a long time ago over and over. I am really happy that they are carrying USA pan bakeware. I just wish they would carry the full line. They didn't have the extra large cookie sheet I wanted, but I'll forgive them this time. To give you an idea of the quality of cookware Cornucopia has at relatively low prices, go to Target or Kohls and buy their best metal regular fryer flipping spatula. Hit it against something hard like you would a tuning fork. It's a dead tink sound. Go to Cornucopia. Pay less and get a real spatula that rings when struck. You'll know it when you hear it. That solid quality sound. That's the difference. Better quality and prices than other kitchen and restaurant supply stores in the area. My wife has to shop for me because I would never leave this store. They are always nice. They always help her find exactly what she needs. I pray this store never goes out of business. Anyone serious about their home kitchen or even a non corporate restaurant should stop in and see how this store can fit your needs. If Cornucopia can put a smile on my old grizzled face, then it could put a smile on anyone's face.“

“Our waiter, Mike, was personable and quick. The food was good and hot. Loved the cream the chef added to the Manhattan clam chowder.“

“First Time Eating there I had the Cheesesteak & fries & it was delicious my boyfriend had the bacon cheeseburger he said it was delicious as well ! Highly recommend & all the staff was nice & very clean atmosphere!! 5 ⭐️’s“

“All the flavors are very good and they are so friendly!“

“Some of the best food ever ,, never go wrong at HuHot .. been to multiple states always perfect food and family friendly staff makes it feel at home .. 15 out of 10 stars…“

“Great selection, prices, sizes and SERVICE! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!❤️❤️❤️“

“Great place! Will definitely be coming back“

“This is one of the few original route 66 restaurants that is still in business today! We saw them in. A route 66 documentary and had to see it for ourselves. Food is honestly, large portions, and large variety. Service was fast and friendly. Price was good. There's even a route 66 state park nearby.“

“I swung by for a quick bite and I kept it simple with a Chicken Sandwich, Nuggets Meal, and an order of Waffle Potato Fries, and each one was fresh and satisfying. The Chicken Sandwich was juicy with that classic seasoned breading and crisp pickles that make it so good every time. The Nuggets were tender on the inside with a nice crispy coating on the outside. The Waffle Fries were hot, crunchy, and perfectly salted. Even though it was busy, the staff stayed friendly and moved the line quickly, and my order came out accurate. It was just an easy, dependable meal that tasted exactly how you want it to.“

“always great so many choices great service“

“Cozy atmosphere. They have a great beer/saki selection not normally available at other Missouri restaurants, so that was fun. I left four stars on the food, only because I ordered pad thai with medium heat, and it should be known it's a low medium heat. I could have probably tolerated a hot level. Service was wonderful. We paid and ordered using the QR code, but the person seating us said that they would come take our order if we preferred. Keep that in mind for older people who may not like ordering from QR codes.“
