50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Durham

“Great place but some dish not familiar“

“I love Ally 26, the atmosphere is wonderful. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. The drink selection creative with many great options to choose from.“

“Even before we moved down to NC almost a year ago, our friends who live down here introduced us to this place. We enjoyed our first visit and have come back at least once a weekend or every other weekend. The staff, music, ambience and crowd is great.“

“The food is great. Very well managed. I’ll definitely go back!“

“Very friendly and they make great recommendations on drinks.“

“They allow dogs 🐶 What’s not to like? 🫶🏻“

“Great menu and flavorful food!“

“One of the best smash burgers I’ve ever had. Wouldn’t change a thing on the Classic!“

“Tasty dishes, festive "beer garden" atmosphere. The made-on-site ginger beer is a winner!“

“Everything taste good. The brisket was very tender and I liked the sauces.“

“Disappointed despite the hype. This place came highly recommended, but we left feeling let down. It’s a seat-yourself, order-at-the-bar establishment, but the experience was far from smooth. The tables were dirty, and our seats were wet (was it beer, water, or something worse?). The line to order was chaotic, with people forming their own lines, and the food arrival was just as disorganized. Some of us finished our meals before others even received theirs. Thankfully, we ordered nachos as a starter, which helped hold us over.

Two of us ordered the Birria Dip, and both came out completely different. One barely had any beef, and at $14.50, it was far from worth it. On the positive side, the leftover Thanksgiving sandwich was plentiful and flavorful. The cheeseburger, however, was average, you can skip this one.

Unfortunately, we forgot to take photos of the food because we were too busy enjoying each other’s company.“

“Excellent vegan options. Will go back.“

“I love the food Go there for the best food ever“

“Amazing Vegan Buffet on occasional Thursdays. I'm not even a vegan but I LOOOOOVE all the selection of savory and sweet items to enjoy and they are all delicious. great service too !“

“please lose the QR menus. I agree with the baby boomers this is a terrible way to have menus. I literally want to just give you money for food and yall are making it very difficult. its 100 degrees outside, open your dining room already.“

“Para ser mi primera vez en el de Durham 1000% recomendado“

“Just WOW! Man oh man I’m a Pizza Lover through and through and this has to be the best pizza I’ve had in a decade! So great! This is the REAL DEAL!“

“After an event at the hotel I had the opportunity to eat at the bluestone restaurant. Marla and Jerome were awesome! They were extremely busy but still found a way to be courteous and made sure the food came out in a decent time. The brussel sprouts were very good, definitely worth a try!“

“Great fun with the family“

“Had very relaxing time with family. The food was enjoyable.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Sushioki in Durham, NC! We tried the spicy tuna burrito and the HoeDeopBap burrito, and both were absolutely delicious. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were spot on. The service was excellent — the staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. I highly recommend Sushioki for anyone craving a fresh, tasty sushi burrito in Durham!“

“Anissa’s is truly a hidden gem of the Triangle. They make some of the best food in the area, period, the end. Especially if you’re trying to stay healthy, they have the freshest Acai bowls that they customize to your liking and no added sugar like other places. On top of that they have a loyalty card and after 10 berries, you can get a free bowl. The service is bar none, after my 3rd time they had my order memorized, which is why I go in once/twice a week!!!“

“Hands down this is the best bakery in Durham! All the items are well crafted and tasty. I'm often happily surprised by a new flavor combination, twist, or exceptional version of a baked good!“

“Great staff! Great service! Excellent food! Ambiance atmosphere superb. My family of 6 were all very happy! Owner is kind and friendly! Presentation of food well done!“

“Outstanding, wonderful, amazing! It was beyond our expectations! The servers were extremely knowledgeable about the wines and the food pairings. We were able to talk with the chef too who was extremely kind. The atmosphere, wine, and food were absolutely amazing!“

“We came in to visit some friends and they recommended this place for brunch. It was absolutely AMAZING! They were really quick to get our food out to us and our server was very kind and attentive. I got the brisket and grits brunch option and WOW! The brisket was perfect and I'm typically pretty picky about meat quality. I also order grits anytime I go out to breakfast/brunch, because they are my favorite, and these were hands-down some of the best I've ever had! The only ones that came close were what I've had in New Orleans. 10/10 would come back to Durham just for this restaurant! We also got the beignets and my partner got the eggs Benedict with fried green tomatoes + blue crab! Everything was delicious! I just truly cannot emphasize enough how I will be dreaming of their brisket and grits until I can come back again.“

“Yummy pastries! 🥐 🥮 Definitely recommend this place! 🥰“

“Everything! Such a lovely atmosphere and amazing food!“

“Lovely bar with delicious beers. Lots of games and comfy seating and dog-friendly!“

“This place is wow. Amazing beautiful deserts. Always fresh. Paninis! Unusual for NC as well, great selection. And the custom croissant sandwich I had today with egg, ham, tomatoe and lettuce was warm and heavenly. Also love the pictures on the walls.“

“Absolutely delicious! Wish you had a location in Greensboro,NC !!“

“It was my 1st time, I was in press with the place“

“Visiting Weldon Mills Distillery was truly an unforgettable experience. The tour was nothing short of amazing — not only was it incredibly educational, but it was also engaging from start to finish. You can really feel the passion and craftsmanship behind every step of their process, and the guides do a fantastic job of bringing the history and science of distilling to life. Customer service was top notch. Everyone we met was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, making us feel right at home the moment we walked in. It’s clear that the staff genuinely care about the quality of their product and the experience of their guests. And the drinks? Absolutely incredible. Whether you’re a seasoned bourbon lover or just curious to try something new, their spirits are smooth, flavorful, and expertly crafted. Each pour tells a story, and it’s clear why Weldon Mills is earning a reputation as one of the best distilleries in the region. Highly recommend this stop to anyone traveling through North Carolina — you won’t be disappointed.“

“the best sandwiches in the triangle, hands down. I love no. 11 (egg salad) and no. 22 (turkey and havarti - pictured).

they are absolute whoppers and always so fresh and so tasty. the staff are all very lovely and even during the lunch rush the sandwiches are quick to come out.“

“I was there while my dad was in the ER. The service was top notch as usual but the kindness demonstrated by the staff was more than I could have asked for. Truly great people and service. ❤️“

“Loved the friendly atmosphere and dog friendly“

“Great place for delicious beers! Great atmosphere and staff! Will definitely be back now that they’re in Gastonia“

“I got the Greek omelette with light feta spinach and peppers ! It was amazing ! Great lil spot!“

“The absolute best place for authentic Latin food. We eat there weekly and the food and service has always been consistent. I highly recommend the tamales and pastor tacos.“

“Excellent gluten free options that are very tasty“

“An unexpected, amazing find on the park. Get your locally crafted beer to go if you please. I’ve tried four different beers so far and all have been really good. So far the 40 East is my favorite. This place is definitely worth checking out if you like excellent beer. They have a large selection for a micro-brewery including sour and specialty beers. Love this place!

Update: I've tried a few more and all are exceptional. These guys aren't just making beer; it's obvious they are lovingly crafting it.“

“Fun atmosphere and excellent drinks.“

“Service, beer and food was outstanding. Thank you to who ever thought of brewing something for the Blockhead. My wife was like, we are going once she found out there was a NKOTB boc. Haha. I can’t wait to share with my beer friends. #runforbeer #swabeerfinder“

“Had the brisket and bbq platter and it was good. I’m stuffed!“

“Awesome beer selection, atmosphere & live music!“

“I LOVE the glass jug. Their beer choices are amazing, ranging from lagers to IPAs to stouts and my favorite, sours. The service is consistently great, with all the beer tenders serving with a personable touch. I also love the glass jug for group and work events since you can easily rent the atrium space out. I found my community here through run club on Tuesdays, Trivia on Wednesdays, and many other events.“

“Absolutely delicious food and amazing service!!! 10 out of 10 !!!“

“We stopped by on our way home to Maryland after our son Eaves attended The John Scheyer Basketball Camp at Duke. We were impressed with the menu selections is why we chose them to start with and we were not disappointed at all !! We would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to enjoy some delicious food at a reasonable price 💙“

“Always great food and great service“

“The food is consistently good, although it varies on the day you buy food. The service is good but the young waiter gets visibly upset when you don’t leave a tip for take out. Other waiters don’t care as much. I would tip if I ate in but I don’t see the need to tip for a take out. Maybe that’s only me. Overall great food, a little pricey but I guess that’s city prices?“
