50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants University City

“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 💕“

“These pastries and cakes were so delicious! Many different variety’s and love that they include the ingredients labels next to each one. I like the concept of lunch trays and going at your own pace. Having a food allergy, it makes it very convenient to choose something, while not being under pressure at the register. It also has a nice aesthetic design inside.“

“The food and drink are as good as the place is comfortable. (Thinking of the couch upstairs.) The owners and staff are friendly. They also enjoy good humor.“

“Great bbq. Will be back. Great service“

“After reading reviews, we wanted to take a chance on this bar. We are from out of state and look for low-key places. We love smaller 'dive' bars. We were greeted right away by the friendly Madi behind the bar. Great conversations, lots of laughs, and good prices. The kitchen was closed, so we are unable to speak to that. But - do not let a few nay-sayers turn you off from checkin this bar out.“

“Lovvvvvve the sushi here!! Dining experience is a total vibe!“

“Good to see you Tim. We loved your amazing food. Definitely will be back! Love ya 😘“

“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!“

“Vinnie was really nice and helpful. He brought us our food when it was ready. Place is busy but the waits not long we got a table right away. Food was flavorful and fresh. Recommend the Ruben (the rye bread is good) or Uncle Sam's club.“

“My husband found this place as a spot for our day trip to stl. My sister in law introduced me to Cuban food years ago so I was no stranger! It was DELICIOUS!! The tostones with garlic,my Cuban with black beans,all amazing. An observation:this place was hopping! I’d make a reservation or I’d get it to go because you might be waiting for a while but in my opinion,it’s worth the wait!“

“4 stars for fingerling potatoes. 5 stars for Sleigh Bells “Rill Rill”.“

“They use carrageenan. Carrageenan is a food additive extracted from red seaweed, used as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in various foods and drinks. While considered safe by the FDA, some studies suggest it may cause inflammation, digestive issues, and potentially contribute to more serious conditions like inflammatory bowel disease.“

“Visited Have A Cow recently with a friend and it’s such a neat establishment. Great food and wonderfully friendly staff. Looking forward to my next visit.“

“Service was excellent, gentleman at the bar was very knowledgeable and friendly. food came super fast, we both got their signature breakfast sandwich wich was delish however for $13 i was shocked it was on regular bread. looked very basic for the price. i also felt like their drinks came in the smallest size cups for adults you had to get two maybe even 3 to make it through your meal and the refills arent free. overall, it was a good experience glad we went.“

“Delicious fresh and healthy!“

“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.“

“The staff is outstanding…so warm and welcoming and just all around great! Food is outstanding with so many tasty options to choose from. Don’t miss out on the trout amandine and those amazing pomme frites!!! A wonderful menu of cocktails and wine, too. To close out the dinner, try the floating island. It’s pure heaven!“

“What a find! I was in town for a few days, looking for a place to read, and think! Each day I was warmly greeted and found the atmosphere to be peaceful yet busy and bustling! Beverage wise, the coffee and americano are all I can speak on— they were both fantastic and I plan to come back when I’m in town again! PS — Try the s’mores cookie!“

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

“Great drinks. Sting so worth the price“

“We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere can’t wait to come back!!! My husband had the salmon, rich and broccoli this was cooked to perfection! I had the fish tacos they were so good. Our desert was carrot cake & raspberry lemon cake they melted in our mouths. This restaurant gets 10 stars we absolutely love it!!!“

“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.“

“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 is the best burger in the city. I will die on this hill lol“

“Super chill place to enjoy a great sandwich.“

“My husband and I come here all the time. It’s a 30 minute drive for us but it’s completely worth it. I had their seasonal gingerbread ice cream recently. It comes with a gingerbread cookie that’s made in house. Best gingerbread cookie I’ve ever had in my entire life.“

“The best chai tea lattes and chocolate chip cookies ever! I just read the back story of the owner and now I am more enthused to wholeheartedly support this shop.“

“I went to Pizzeoli last night with a group of friends and had an amazing dining experience. We started off with the Deep Fried Chanterelles and Chili-kissed Garlic Knots - the chantrellles were delicious and came with a chili ranch sauce that I would love bottled for home use. The garlic knots were a cut above your normal pizza place fare - melted in my mouth and garlic to butter proportions were perfectly balanced. It should be noted that their drink menu is extensive (along with their pizza menu - so many great options!). I chose the Athletic Cerveza - a great Non-alcoholic beer that ranks as a personal fav. I also like that Pizzeoli had multiple NA options as a non-drinker. On to the main course - my group chose the Andy (a current special with white sauce and mushrooms), the Lumberjack Snack (pep and bacon on red sauce) and the Meatball pizza (as recommended per their chef - meatballs on white sauce!). All three were delicious and cooked to perfection - the right amount of bubbles in the perfectly thin curst. I kept trying to choose a favorite and couldn't decide - would personally recommend a white sauce pizza but the red was also awesome! The grand finale was a banana split dessert pizza and ice cream sandwiches. A hot dessert pizza with the perfect cool toppings, I'd stop in just for an after meal treat some time. The ice cream sandwiches were delectable and fun to share with the table too. The atmosphere of Pizzeoli transported me to a simpler time when going to a neighborhood pizza place meant a friendly staff, unique decorations (check out the light shades over the tables!) and quality craftsmanship. A new favorite - highly recommend!“

“A great neighborhood bar filled with fun people, frequent specials and activities, and run by awesome individuals ❤️“

“This place is AMAZING!!!! My first time visiting and definitely will not be my last. Very busy place because of the great variety and selections and service. I HIGHLY recommend this spot to everyone. 🤩“

“Uniquely decorated inside, and it's beautiful. Outside patio is awesome, loved the music, We had amazing service as well♥️ and great food!“

“We went yesterday after a hot but wonderful trip to the zoo. When I tell you the staff was probably the most amazing people I’ve ever come in contact with…I would not be lying! They were beyond friendly & sweet which is the best to encounter when you’re a tourist! The ice cream was top notch & I can’t stop raving about! Thank you for a great sweet treat ❤️“

“Very good food highly recommend to someone wanting to try out something new and love Hawaiian food. Loved the Katsu. Service was friendly and wonderful! Definitely coming back.“

“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 🙏🏼♥️🏁“

“My absolute favorite pizza. Can't go wrong.“

“Just randomly stopped by this coffee shop on the way in from Houston, and I got to say this was luck of the draw. They have great coffee from the pour-overs, to all espresso and espresso based drinks. The atmosphere was great and the art was superb.“

“The prairie village location was SOOO GOOD!! We went on opening night and the staff was speedy, friendly, and professional even though they were slammed. Worth it for the price compared to other ice cream shops in the area. This will definitely be a new regular spot for us.“

“Pizza! Kind of pricey about $7/slice with the cash discount. It’s good, not great but yknow.

Been here a couple times, 10 cent token Thursday is bomb. Drinks are eh. I don’t drink a whole lot.

The games, they’re cheap they’re fun. Some are broken. Quite a few are out of order. Many never heard of. But again a fun space to burn some time“

“Love everything about Mack's! Mack and Tommy are some of the best people you will ever meet! the food is great and the staff is wonderful! I had a birthday party there and I plan to have many other events there too! the Sunday Fine dining is some of the best food I've had! 5 stars hands down“

“Great atmosphere and service. They have a limited but diverse beer and beverage selection. The cocktails are made with attention. And if you're hungry (or even if you aren't), the food is not too be missed. Creative top notch selection of bay snacks and sandwiches. It's very laid back with live music almost every night and lots of recreational fun - pool, darts, games, etc. And then they also have a comfortable outdoor patio in the back, where you can bring your dog.“

“Before their great beer could be found in cans at your local grocery store, there was the Civil Life Brewing Company tap room and restaurant. Great craft beer and perfect pub food & comfort food served in a German brew house style space. Fantastic outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Worth the trip to South City.“
