50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Asheville

“Had a wonderful experience at Chai Pani. I had the Buffett and the food was all so flavorful. Would recommend!“

“First visit today and it won’t be our last!! It was fantastic!!!“

“Absolutely incredible vegan food! Plant is a more upscale vegan restaurant, and it delivers on every level. The atmosphere is elegant but welcoming, and the food is amazing. The cheese platter is a must-try, so flavorful and beautifully presented. I also loved the ravioli; it was rich, creative, and perfectly done. Whether you’re vegan or not, this place is absolutely worth a visit!“

“Fantastic meal last night at Jargon! The ginger carrot 🥕 soup was incredible. We paired it with Asparagus and risotto. The strawberry dessert was amazing and the after dinner drinks with espresso beans were perfection.“

“Excellent service and delicious food.“

“Our lunch today was outstanding! Amazing flavors and three of us shared 4 items. Hunter was so accommodating and nice today, we will be back!“

“Wonderful experience at Tall John’s last night! We stopped in for appetizers and drinks. Everything was amazing! We had the special appetizer and mussels. Excellent wine menu, great atmosphere and overall amazing experience! We will definitely be back for brunch or dinner too! Side note- where can I find the bathroom wallpaper to purchase? Very interesting! 😊“

“My friends and I ate here during our visit to Asheville in August 2024 and I can’t stop thinking about it. It was so good! I cannot wait to have another opportunity to go back“

“Love this local brewery! Definitely a fav of mine in Asheville.“

“she has built such a cute charming place. unique and special. she has put her heart into this business, and it's amazing to see it grow. delicious coffee with some very creative ideas, it's always fun ta see what's on tha menu. truly wish her tha best, she deserves it“

“This was hands down one of the best breakfast spots we tried during our weekend getaway to Asheville. My boyfriend and I both got a bacon egg and cheese on a biscuit which was out of this world!! Reminded us of authentic southern homemade cooking, something hard to come by with many chain or franchise restaurants. Highly recommend giving this hidden gem a try!“

“The food and service were fantastic! However, the reason I will return every time I visit Asheville is not actually food related. The owners fed their employees and their families the entire time they were shut down for Covid. The owner’s husband is involved in many global humanitarian projects. While I was reading the Cantina’s historical wall display, the researcher responsible for the wall came and spent about 20 minutes chatting with me about the area’s history. I was moved by life work of the people associated with the restaurant and will return in support of goodness in the world.“

“My favorite place to eat! I eat at Montford almost daily and it never gets old. I love finding out what the special will be each week and then proceed to immediately start to salivate from the anticipation of sinking my teeth into the delicious treat. If the weekly special isn’t what you are feeling that day then that’s fine because you honestly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Once you go a few times and get to know the people that work there, it’s not hard to see why the food is so good. They have some extremely polite and talented people working there.“

“Purest donut I ever did have! Friendly staff and cute location“

“There were four of us - two locals, two from NYC - and we all enjoyed the experience. Great service from Tenille, who took excellent care of us by being personable, knowledgeable, helping with various selections, and was gracious and funny to boot. The food - chopped salads for all, then chicken, pork chop, short ribs and trout - all excellently prepared. For dessert we shared a decadent lavender-chocolate artful creation that was delicious. Cocktails, wines, coffee all fantastic. A terrific outing.“

“Amazing pizza and awesome staff! Just seeing them setting the dough to rise on their plentiful racks affirmed this pizza is crafted with love and attention to quality. Then you taste it!!! No question It’ll keep us driving those extra miles to have a pie!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Saw a comedy show at DSSOLVR - it's a great space that's very open and welcoming. They have a large selection of brews, plus a few N/A choices. I really enjoyed the THC beverage and one of their N/A beers.

There's plenty of street parking (with meters) as well as an hourly parking near by.“

“Visited on my most recent trip to Asheville and was probably one of the best meals on the trip. We got a variety of different arepas(including a vegetarian), yucca fries and corn fritters. The yucca fries were by far my favorite of the sides, the vegetarian arepa was delicious but would have been a little elevated by a crunchy element. My sister got the Ropa Vieja and thought it was delish but would have liked a fresh element to top the dish like cabbage. The Pernil arepa was also a favorite but a little more sauce on the top would have put the dish over the top!
Overall, definitely worth a trip but don’t be surprised if you have to wait a couple minutes for a seat as there is limited seating inside. Service was great and they were very attentive.“

“The atmosphere and drinks were amazing! However we arrived around 5 o’clock and were told no coffee after 4pm - but they had coffee for cocktails. It was upsetting for our designated driver who was looking forward to enjoying a coffee while we had cocktails. Hoping this rule will change so we can enjoy a responsible night out in the future!“

“We have lived in Asheville for about 15 years and have been eating Suzy’s food since there was only a food truck. It’s nourishing, delicious, and always filling, not to mention very fairly priced! The ownership and staff are amazing and have always been welcoming to myself and all of my diverse groups of friends and family. We love Gypsy Queen!“

“We went in on a Saturday afternoon and the place was quiet. They brewed fresh coffee for us (very good coffee) and made a wonderful breakfast! The shop was spotless and the food quickly was outstanding. I don't know where they found fresh high quality avacodos , strawberries, and blueberries, but they did! Highly recommend this establishment!“

“Great vibe, music, bartenders, and beer!“

“This is a favorite! The staff is so friendly and helpful. Yummiest drinks, great atmosphere and I love that harnessed cats are welcome 😸“

“Yum! Great pizza! Wonderful, friendly staff.“

“Luella’s pulled pork is absolutely delicious! It’s hands down some of the best I’ve ever had. Super tender and full of flavor. A definite go-to if you’re craving top-notch barbecue. Highly recommend!“

“I highly recommend any business that steps up for their community in times of need. thank you for getting those 596 people fed yesterday!! kudos!“

“I really recommend this Restaurant, the food and the service is so good. The people is very friendly, Paul was our server and he did amazing“

“I requested a 2 night stay in my Harvest Host / Boondockers app. I got a quick approval in mins. The brewery was easy to get to, had lots of parking & there was a small local band playing when I arrived. Sky was my very friendly bartender. I asked for a beer suggestion than was on the lighter side. He suggested the Cowboy Poet. He was spot on. I also ordered food from the pizza place. Was really delicious. I got to see Sky on my second night also. I would definitely revisit. The information & description of what to expect were exact. Thank you for sharing your business with the camping community.“

“Icecream truck came through my neighborhood. First time trying and will definitely buy again. The Mint Choc Chip Icecream Cookie was the best I have tried.“

“Chuck was such a good conversationalist with a bright personality and a clear passion for this cute coffee shop! We were passing through town on our way back from camping, got 2 iced lattes, a cinnamon coffee cake muffin, and a blueberry walnut banana bread. They were all beyond delicious, phenomenal, an absolute delight that almost had us turning around to buy the rest of the pastries on the spot. We will be back and ready for more of this great spot!“

“I got my wedding bouquet and boutonnières from Pollen and they were gorgeous! The staff were so great at communicating and making the bouquet exactly what I wanted!“

“Love dobra tea. Vibe is so nice in downtown and WAvl. I haven’t been to EAvl location. Food selection great for vegetarians. Amazing tea selection. Great place to just bring a book or some work reading and focus.“

“We have been eating here for over a decade. Came back for the first time post-Helene, and it was such a welcoming, comforting experience!! I had the special which was INCREDIBLE. We brought a Vegetarian Platter home and had it later for dinner- delicious.“

“First time at Salt Face Mule tonight. This place is awesome, highly recommend anyone in the Asheville area to come check this place out. Such a fun atmosphere, great food, and a great time all around. Our bartender Kyle was an awesome guy who gave us great recommendations for things to see and do while we’re visiting here. We’re visiting family in the area and I’ll definitely be back to this place the next time we’re back in town. Awesome job tonight guys and we appreciate it! - Chase and Rose“

“Wonderful brewery, our first time was lovely. Beer selection is good, and I really dig the sci-fi theme“

“I’m blessed to live within walking distance of this gem. If you appreciate a variety of well made beers that may entice you to try something different. Located on Haywood Rd. Across from The Odd, sit outside and enjoy your beer on another Glorious Day in Asheville. Share & Enjoy.🙏🍺🇺🇸“

“Any time we venture to Asheville (which happens often), we always make Nine Mile a priority. It’s a trifecta of awesomeness: great food, great service, and great atmosphere. We’ll always be back for more! 😋“

“Joe was fantastic and so was the cider. Definitely will be back!“

“Awesome food and wonderful staff. Locally owned“

“Amazing! Yummy and delicious food ❤️“

“My daughter and I stopped in Mt pleasant location today for the first time ! It was yummy ! Can’t wait to go back ! The pork belly was off the chain !“

“Worth stopping in to relax and unwind. Seasonal coffee tastes great! Highly recommend.“

“Had one of the most thorough and informative tours of a brewery / distillery ever. Our guide took the time to answer all questions and even hung out for a beer afterwards with us. It is so good to see things returning to a bit more normal in Asheville after Helene.“

“Travel From NY Always Trying to Consume what the Little Earth of ONE Produces.
And Ask for a Hispanic Store.
💯 % Delighted with This Store You Find Any Product from CA and Mexico.
The Products. The Service. I was Served by 2 Beautiful Young Ladies. Very Clean Overall.
I recommend them. Highly Recommended.
We will be back very soon.“

“Wedge has always been a vibe of its own. Carefully made beers with a good variety of tastes. This spot is a low key, chill Asheville staple. Sit out front if you want to sit outside. Cig smoke seems to linger in the air outback. Pup friendly which we love!“

“Best cold brew and blueberry muffin I’ve had in a long time served by incredibly kind employees! ☕️“

“It’s our first place to eat every time we go to Asheville. They have a great local beer selection and oh that Prohibition Potroast!! I’m drooling thinking about it!“

“I’ve eaten here 2 times in the last 2 months. The food is delicious , the service has been excellent and the atmosphere is so nice . I’ve enjoyed eating on their patio . I know I’ll be returning .“

“An offshoot of Mamacita’s, Taco Temple retains the same focus on homemade Mexican eats. The offerings are a bit fancier than you might find at a typical taco joint but not to the point of pretentiousness (they also have breakfast tacos for those who are up early enough). While it occupies a smallish space, Taco Temple does offer a cool vibe, including a vintage Corona machine.

My wife and I opted for a trio of tacos plus guac to go. Our order was ready on-time, and one look at the homemade blue corn tortillas made us anxious to dig in. The tacos were generally tasty and delivered distinct flavors: the loreto (tangerine-pasilla shrimp) was spicy and tangy while the Santa Barbara (ancho-brown sugar rubbed steak) was smoky and slightly sweet. The panela (panela cheese, poblano, black bean, pickled onion) included too much pickled onion and too little cheese, however. The chips, guac, and tomatillo salsa were solid complements to the meal.

Taco Temple may or may not make you a convert, but it’s worth at least one pilgrimage.“

“Loved everything about this place the people the place. These ladies are awesome. Try a Hazelnut white chocolate frappe. On a hot day it's amazing.M9m had a breakfast sandwich as well as coffee we both really enjoyed the whole experience. Going back on the 29th“
