32 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Defiance

“We went to the new location in Wildwood on Father’s Day, with some friends, and it was refreshing watching the children playing games, and families together. This place is going to be a great success in Wildwood. Congratulations, we certainly enjoyed ourselves yesterday.“

“My husband surprised me at Christmas with tickets to the January Farmhouse Dinner event. The whole experience was outstanding. We really enjoyed each course, and they somehow created the perfect pairing with a wine that elevated each dish.
The first course might have been my favorite, but only because a warm hearty soup is so comforting on a cold winter’s night. It was accompanied by a homemade biscuit, which was delicious.
The fourth course was another favorite, because the chef managed to cut the prime rib into thin slices and I’ve never had it that way before. The sauce and the mashed potatoes were divine.
As expected, the portions were right sized for a 5-course meal, and the wine pours were just right as well. I was impressed by their wine selections and I truly enjoyed everything we tasted.
The chef came out when each course was served to give us a bit of background about how it was prepared.
The owner gave a brief intro to the wine selection/pairing, but come to find out, they were grieving a loss and had just faced personal family heartache, so it was incredible that they were able to pull off this event, under those circumstances.
This place is usually a bike ride destination for us, so it was a treat to have another way to appreciate the venue. I told my husband that I would love to do this again!“

“I hosted a baby shower for my daughter in the Barrel Room and it was the perfect place. The staff was so accommodating from the beginning to the end. Brooke and Emily had quick response times and very professional. Matt was our server and he was top notch along with the food on this special day! Thank you so much!“

“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!“

“drove over 45 minutes to take my whole family out for my dad's birthday dinner and Kay was amazing! perfect weather for patio seating and she even brought out a candle in some fried oreos for him! such an awesome place! my dad blew out his candle and said for his birthday wish, he wished we lived closer 🤣 thank you guys for being so sweet and accommodating!“

“Love the bartenders at Crossroads! Everyone is so nice there, we love the game shelf, and it’s well-behaved dog friendly!“

“Great atmosphere and experience. Would highly recommend!!!“

“My favorite local bar in the area hands down. Best staff and craft beers. The “bowrider” “hazy” and “Brombeir” are amazing beers. Menu is great and check the specials like the burger/fry/pint for 10$ on Mondays is unbeatable.“

“We had our son and daughter in law’s rehearsal dinner at Mellow Mushroom and boy, did we choose a great place! They had us all set up for 25 people beautifully when we arrived and was quickly introduced to our amazing server, Katie. Between her and her crew of helpers (for lack of a better word), we were taken care of so well. Tara, the bartender also tended to us with quick and excellent service. The general manager Ahmad checked on us several times to be sure we were happy and everyone was taken care of. Food and drinks were quickly and deliciously served and enjoyed. The atmosphere is so fun and upbeat. I don’t think we had one problem (except us being 7 minutes late - so sorry about that!!). We go to Mellow Mushroom as a couple and a family and now we can add as a wedding party and extended family. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!“

“Plus the brewery is fantastic! We had a fun date night there last Thursday and I’m loving the fresh produce.“

“Fun atmosphere for all ages. Sand volleyball, pickle ball, whiskey bar, and concert venue. It is open seating, there are several clusters of chairs and firepits, but you have to get there pretty early to score those. Bring your camping chair and enjoy the live music on the turf. Food trucks change, so look it up before you go!“

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

“We held my daughter’s graduation party there and the food was amazing, venue was perfect and our servers Amy and Will were fantastic!“

“The best tacos!! I absolutely love it!!“

“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.“

“always great so many choices great service“

“We’ve been here twice and both times service and food were excellent. May be my new favorite restaurant in this area. Highly recommend!“

“This place is cute and friendly! The sloppy nachos were amazing. We will be back to sample more of the menu!“

“Absolutely amazing! The service was amazing and the atmosphere was calm with little shops to go to. The mushroom swiss burger was amazing, though it could use a touch more seasoning. The cookie butter pie was also delicious! I look forward to going back and hopefully bringing some friends with.“

“Me and a friend were craving sushi and wanted to go somewhere close. We looked on Google and they said they were open at 11am on Monday’s. We get there and the sign on the door says they don’t open until 4pm on Monday’s. Amazing food but they need to update their times on Google!“

“I went to Starbucks at Bryan Rd and Feise to get some Valentine's gift cards for the family. These employees, Brooklyn, Veronica, Grace, Sydney and Bella were so friendly and provided such great customer service. What a wonderful community atmosphere!“

“First time trying the iced Blondie ! Sorry Starbucks but I found my new love for iced coffee ❤️“

“All Chinese restaurants in St. Louis are what I call fake Chinese food. However, I like to judge them by how they make their Singapore Mei fun which is what I always order. Well this one is delicious! Mei fun means rice noodles and Singapore Mei fun has all the meats including shrimp chicken beef and Chinese bbq pork in a slightly spicy yellow curry sauce. I give 5 star also for friendliness!“

“We recently visited this well-known drive-thru coffee shop, which has multiple outlets across St. Louis, and our experience completely lived up to the strong ratings. Even though the setup is drive-thru based, the service feels personal, warm, and surprisingly attentive. The process is quick and smooth, and despite the steady line of cars, everything moves efficiently without making you feel rushed.
One of the things that immediately stood out is the wide range of flavors and drink options they offer. For a drive-thru coffee place, the variety is impressive — from classic coffees to fun flavored lattes, mochas, and seasonal specials. There’s genuinely something for everyone, no matter your taste.
We tried the Mocha, Iced Latte, and Hot Latte, and all three were consistently good. The Mocha had a perfect blend of chocolate and espresso, neither too sweet nor too strong. The Iced Latte was refreshing, smooth, and well-balanced, not diluted like many iced coffees can be. The Hot Latte was rich, comforting, and made with noticeable care, which speaks highly of their quality across multiple locations.
Another highlight was the staff. Even in a drive-thru model, the servers were extremely kind, patient, and willing to guide us through the menu. Their friendliness made the experience feel more thoughtful than a typical drive-thru stop.
Overall, with great flavors, excellent coffee, and genuinely warm service, this place is absolutely worth a visit. If you’re in St. Louis and in the mood for a reliable, flavor-packed coffee experience, this drive-thru spot is definitely a must-try.“

“Food is on par with what you'd expect at a fast food restaurant. The chicken is tasty. Fries are ok.

It's usually surprisingly busy in the evenings. Can be a bit on the messy side. Not a bad place to bring the kids to for an easy meal, though.“

“My favorite place for a burger in West County. Beer is cold and staff is friendly. Good healthy options if you’re into that kind of thing. Golf simulators, but remember to make a “tee time” which is easy to do via their website.“

“Friendly staff, get through the line quickly and so many options for everyone!“

“An awesome place to go and relax with friends. We were lucky enough to be taken care of by Cassie. She was very friendly and helpful in deciding what to order. The wings are great.“

“Had a Sunday brunch with my friend at Dogwood. It was our first time going, and we love it! She ordered jumbo wings and I ordered the garbage burger. It's delicious with sidewinders (curl-cut fries)! Topped it all off with ice cream on a waffle. Delicious as well! Our server, Rain, was excellent! This is a big place, filled with arcade games for the whole family. I'll have to return to play!“

“Great place to bring your little ones!! They have tons for them to do while you enjoy your treat. Bubble machine, cars, trucks, sidewalk chalk, building blocks, a huge connect 4! So much fun🍧🙌🏻“

“Absolutely fantastic costumer service, even if you smoke a lil too much before lunch the manager here might recognize your face to remind you that you usually get gluten free buns 😂 and their sweet tea is fantastic!!!“

“I am beyond livid at the state of your freaking parking lot. The line was out of the parking lot. I was trying to get a bagel from your neighbor Panera and had to sit in my parking spot for 20 minutes trying to get out because your patrons are so incredibly rude and your parking/drive thru situation is ridiculous. I am no longer going to frequent your location (which I currently do almost daily) until you figure out some sort of traffic management system!“
