50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Valley Park

“Fritz’s is the best place to bring our family and enjoy an amazing dessert! You can’t beat the frozen custard and all the delicious toppings to choose from!! My kid’s favorites are a scoop of chocolate with sprinkles! My favorite is the brownie sundae and my husband is a plane Jane and goes for a scoop of vanilla on a cone! That’s why I love Fritz’s because it’s a one stop shop for something that everyone loves!“

“My husband and I just went here for lunch today, and it was awesome. The food was great, and our waitress was top notch. Keep up the great work. We can’t wait to come back.“

“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!“

“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“

“Cool lil place, great food 🏁 nice folks too!“

“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.“

“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 🙏🏼♥️🏁“

“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!“

“We rented the ice cream truck for our wedding. It was a big hit. especially for all the kids. They showed up on time and were so sweet. They had all the ice cream in stock and very professional. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Okay, I do want to say that with all the 5 star reviews, I had high expectations. I don't think those were met. The crab rangoon was pretty good, the sushi was slightly above average. It filled my stomach and scratched an itch. The presentation was nice.

I just really wish the sushi had more flavor. More sauces, more combinations. I also wish it had come with Miso.

My final complaint is that the service was a little slow.

The pineapple at the end was cute!“

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

“Best ice cream around! Their concretes, cones, sundaes awesome.“

“Great place with great beer & cocktails and friendly staff!!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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 💕“

“Great food first time at the Shack. Need to have a Shack in Edwardsville Illinois“

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

“Dining at Mia Sorella was a great experience. The service is wonderful and everyone seems genuine and friendly. All the food tastes fresh and made with quality ingredients.“

“My husband and I came from out of town for a date night, and this was the perfect spot. Easy parking, table was ready when we got there, friendly staff, delicious food. We had the OG Pepperoni Pizza and the Cacio e Pepe. Both outstanding! Definitely worth driving from outside the area for!“

“Stuffed squash blossom, delicious!! Did not get the margarita had a different cheese pizza with garlic can’t remember the name. It was great except 2 slices had no cheese. Will definitely be back but need more cheese!!“

“Poke Munch is my favorite restaurant in Madison County! They have the perfect meals for a healthier meal that tastes SO good. I love eating at Poke Munch!😋😋“

“Arch Nemesis Brewing is a hidden gem that should be on everyone’s list to visit. This modern yet cozy spot has a welcoming “hole-in-the-wall” charm. Whether you settle into a stool at the bar, sink into a couch, or claim a table, you’ll feel right at home. Grab a board game from the shelf and dive into some of the best hand-crafted libations around. Not sure where to start? Go for a flight to sample the unique creations brewed right on-site – it’s the perfect way to experience the variety they have to offer.“

“Awesome place!! So much fun, friendly atmosphere!“

“Great food, staff was wonderful, a great find!“

“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.“

“This is where I always meet my grandson for lunch. We love the walleye platter. The breading is very light, and the portion is generous, allowing you to eat every bit of it. The sides are delicious, too. We love the atmosphere, service, prices, and portions. \nI've taken several friends there for lunch, and they are happy to meet me there again anytime. My grandson is an accomplished fisherman, and that makes our experience all the more enjoyable. We love the fish offerings, but the menu is extensive. We highly recommend and enjoy Yellowstone Cafe.“

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

“Service was impeccable and the food was amazing, portions plenty with fair value prices! Most impressive was were CLEAR take home food containers eliminated any doubt or confusion of whose and contents. The only non 5 star was the pulsating music , a bit loud for the over 60 crowd .“

“I got the steak bowl with rice, chicken spring rolls, and banana Boba. all of it was so good. the bowl was so flavorful. I will definitely have to come back soon!!“

“I recommend the chocolate chip cookies! So big and delicious..!“

“Great food,great coffee, great people, and great experience. So glad to have gone here and can't wait to visit again!“

“I've had a fantastic time here! The owners, bar staff, and everyone who comes in create such a warm and friendly atmosphere. It's always a wonderful experience, time after time!“

“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! :)“

“My second time at Dave hot chicken was kinda disappointing because this LARGE strip was on this little bun blew me, Like what happened to using chicken patties now a days? I couldn’t even eat it. Lose my appetite PLUS it took a min for someone to come greet me. 7/10“

“Your gluten free menu is the best we have had at a restaurant in the metro area. Can’t wait for you guys to come to Saint Charles county.“

“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.“

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

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

“Love the atmosphere and best bartender D!“

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

“Love three kings. We had a great dinner with great service. Maharaja on tap!“

“Born and raised on Long Island (NY). Bagels are in our DNA. The closest thing I have found to a bagel like home.“

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

“When I'm in the area, I always make sure to stop by! I usually get a matcha or an americano but I love the drinks. Def want to try more too !

The atmosphere is really nice too, I'd love to chill and work here! Can't wait to come back :)“
