50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Overland

“This was such a cute little family owned restaurant. While it looked like most people picked up for delivery, you can eat in and they give you paper plates. We ordered the popcorn chicken which had fried basil in it and it was so unexpected and delicious! My littles loved the stir fry noodles. Also unexpected was what they called Chicken Chili stir fry! The pork belly melted in our mouths!! Absolutely delicious. We will be back“

“Stopped there after a square dance. It was some of the best custard I'd ever eaten. Yes, better than Ted Drew's! Even though I'm on Weight Watchers, I'm going back tomorrow! It's worth it!!“

“Friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere, and great coffee!“

“Visiting the area and came by for a quick drink and snack. Jessie the bartender was amazing. The food was great! Def recommend this place!“

“Flank steak & Short Ribs!“

“A good new local breakfast place. Food is consistently good, staff is friendly, & the blueberry pancakes… the fresh berries burst in your mouth! We’re repeat customers, & the coffee ☕️ is really good, too!“

“Delicious fresh and healthy!“

“An absolute must visit if you’re in St Louis! The original frozen custard hold your ice cream upside down. Even when the lines are long I’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes these workers are EFFICIENT! I loved the Cardinal Sin this time around.“

“Best ice cream around! Good amount of VEGAN choices...just wish more were available daily without chocolate. Delicious!!!“

“Love it! Food and atmosphere is great! We will definitely be back!“

“We are in town visiting and found this spot, and we are so glad we did! Food was delicious, limited menu but locally sourced and delicious. The coffee was absolutely phenomenal! We sat at the coffee bar and loved watching them make the drinks. Overall great vibes, our server was incredible! Wish we had this in our hometown.“

“Stopped in for a drink and received the *most* delicious Chai Tea Latte! Cute place with cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone was extremely friendly and inviting. Definitely recommend!“

“My husband and I popped in for breakfast this morning. We were amazed at how quickly we were seated and served with as crowded as it was! Our breakfasts were delicious and service was excellent! We will definitely be back!👍🏻“

“I’m 78, travelled the world and these are the very best noodles and noodle dishes I have ever had. I doubt I will ever eat ramin or udon ever again. This is not a fancy sit down restaurant, it’s a Japanese noodle restaurant or social bar. The young lady receptionist/waitress was very welcoming and helpful. The cooks are hard working and friendly. The selection is somewhat limited but just the kind of meals you will want to try again and again. 一番 Ichiban. (# 1)“

“Incredible food, cocktails and service. Their French onion soup is to die for. Lovely place with great atmosphere, highly recommend!“

“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“

“Great food and great service. We had a very large group there for lunch after a funeral recently and it went really well. I’d recommend for lunch or hosting a large gathering. Thanks for the hospitality.“

“I love Up-Down STL! The games are 25¢ per game no matter the game. On Fridays they sell their giant slices (basically a quarter of a large pizza I think) for only $5 per slice and they gave lots of different flavors to choose from. I'm allergic to tomatoes and they even have choices I can eat. The games are fun and run great. The drinks at the bar are delicious. The vibe on the place is really fun.“

“They have puppy pops for dogs! Thank you!“

“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.“

“The pizza is phenomenal (the best I have had in a while) and the atmosphere is so relaxing and fun! The art on the walls and the decor is such amazing eye-candy. I can’t wait to have another slice and enjoy a relaxing meal and drinks! ✨“

“I was on lunch break was told food would be done in 10 minutes. waited 30. got back to work very late. To top it off the food was disgusting. I'm not sure if there was even a burger patty provided. what was om the sandwich was an over abundance of mayo and mustard like I guess I ordered a mustard and mayo sandwich. It was messy made the bun soggy and just all around gross. I was going to bring all my kidd back to eat and will NEVER EAR HERE AGAIN. A REFUND IS WANTED. 27 DOLLARS FOR 2 BURGERS 2 DRINKS AND 1 FRY AND THE PLAIN CHEESEBURGWR HAD ONIONS ON IT WASNT SUPPOSE TO. NEEDLESS TI SAY NO ONE ATE THEIR MEAL WE ORDERED ELSE WHERE AND I SUGGEST SKIPPING PAST THIS PLACE. NOT WORTH THE TIME IR MONEY WASTED.“

“Great drinks. Sting so worth the price“

“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.“

“I absolutely adore this place, and I’m completely shocked something like this exists in the St. Louis area! I had the vegan croissant and it was extremely delicious, very close to the vegan croissants I’ve had in France. I also got the cheesecake and it was absolutely amazing. It didn’t have any of the weird flavors some vegan cheesecakes have, and probably tasted closer to dairy cheesecake. I also had some macarons, but they seemed like they were a little older. There weren’t many in the case during my visit, and I saw a photo from someone else a few days after my visit that showed a full case, so I could only surmise they were less fresh. The flavors were good, but they were a little hard. Overall, this place is clearly a winner. The outside and the inside are decorated in such a nice and beautiful way. When I lived in St. Louis a short time about 20 years ago, I would’ve never imagined a place like this could have existed in the area. I can’t wait to stop by again next time I find myself in the St. Louis area.  Updated from previous review on 2026-05-12“

“Super chill place to enjoy a great sandwich.“

“Written back in 2016 and moved here because I'm ditching Yelp. Hopefully they got the credit card thing sorted in the last decade.

We went to 3 places on this excursion and this one was my favorite. Why? Mainly because I could see myself spending a lot of time hanging out here. They have a great selection of beers, multiple seating areas (both indoor and outdoor), darts and a lot more. We sat outside for a while but moved into their loft area when the sun set.

I had 2 beers. The first was an American Pale Ale. It was slightly crisp and delicious. The second was their cask beer of the day or week. It was surprisingly creamy and rich in flavor.

Why only 4-stars? Mainly because it's 2016 and they are a cash-only business. Time to modernize!“

“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.“

“Everything we ordered was delicious and perfectly spiced. Service was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back to try some more dishes.“

“First time at Failoni’s yesterday. Had pasta and marinara (I know, not very daring). The marinara can stand on its own. Wonderful. Loved the ambiance, neighborhood vibe. We were made to feel welcome right away. Was with two friends and we will be back!!“

“This place is so good. Relaxing atmosphere, great service, and the drinks are to die for. My husband and I aren’t big drinkers but we will be back for sure.“

“Terrible parking but great food.“

“This place is so, so cool. My cousin took me out for dinner and I had never even heard of this spot. Wow, it’s such a beautiful and moody spot full of charm!! We had to wait 15 minutes for a booth but I didn’t mind because this place serves LOOKS. The decor was awesome! Everything from the stellar service, crispy and lacey smash burgers and gorgeous dining room(s) made me realize why this spot is always recommended to me. We were very happy with our food and it was under $50 for two people! Check out Golden Hoosier, you won’t regret it.“

“It was such a great time! Food excellent, wine even better and the atmosphere was so awesome. Low lighting just a great vibe“

“I ordered while at work and walked over after closing up shop to realize that I was WAY early for my pickup order. The staff member at the counter did not make me feel silly for being early and fired my order early
Pizza head makes our city a better place. They feed the unhoused and folks in need as well as giving back to the community. So glad to be neighbors with them and enjoy their FIRE food
Xoxo“

“Our first experience here was nothing shy of amazing. The service was incredible, even with a bar full of pub crawlers. The food was so delicious and we cannot wait to go back.“

“2nd Shift Brewing absolutely blew us away. Not only is their beer/seltzer’s incredible (seriously—every single one we served was a hit), but their generous donation of drinks for our school trivia night made a huge impact.

From the very beginning, their team was so communicative, responsive, and genuinely easy to work with. Planning an event can be stressful, and they made the entire process seamless. Their generosity truly helped make our event such a success.

And the beer itself—top tier. So flavorful, well-crafted, and a crowd favorite all night. We had so many people asking where it was from and raving about it.

2nd Shift is the kind of local business you want to support—amazing product, even better people. We are so grateful and can’t recommend them enough!“

“Best ice cream around! Good amount of VEGAN choices...just wish more were available daily without chocolate. Delicious!!!“

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

“Stopped in on a whim for brunch before heading home to KC. Would definitely go back. It was amazing.“

“The food is phenomenal! We've ordered about 10 different items (steaks, burgers, lamb, appetizers, sides, desserts, etc) on two visits and loved all of it! Top notch!“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Great service! Great product!“

“First time and not the last time we dine here, God willing! 🙏🏼♥️🏁 Very busy place, but fantastic service, food, and experience! Josh answered the phone and was so helpful, friendly and welcoming! When we walked in Josh was on it, made us feel we were “regulars”, like he new us personally and Stacey, the hostess that seated us, was equally as welcoming and we were seated promptly. I don’t believe we got our kind servers name, but the beautiful young lady was on it as well. The chefs/kitchen were on par as well, hubby had one of the eggs Benedict with a side of biscuit and gravy, I had the Ranchers beef salad, one of the best beef and blue cheese salads I’ve EVER had, and believe me, I’ve had a “few” 😋🤫😊 Hubs also loved the huge coffee mugs his coffee and my Kahluah/hot chocolate(yum on this damp chilly day)were served in…this where my only complaint would be, my mug was chipped along the rim 😅 All that said, it was just a fantastic way to start our Sunday. Looking forward to sharing this spot with some more loved ones 🙏🏼♥️🏁“

“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 💕“

“We had an amazing time this evening. Met the owner who was awesome and had the best service imaginable. We will definitely be back!“

“great place, food, and people!“

“Great service and the food is amazing“

“We love Sugar & Slice! We have used them for birthday cakes in the past and we knew they would be best for our wedding cake. We just got married this past weekend in May and they did a fantastic job using our reference to build our cake. The cake was beautiful and tasted amazing. The texture was still soft and full of flavor. We can't recommend them enough. They also did an amazing spread of cookies and cinnamon rolls. We provided to go bags for our guests and we had none left to take home, they were so popular. You will not be disappointed with whatever items you decide to buy from Sugar & Slice.“
