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.“

“Far and away one of my favorite places to take people in Durham when they visit us. Everyone who works there is so friendly. Their inside is cozy and decorated festive depending on season. Their rooftop is great and as a bonus, they offer blankets for when it gets cold. Limited food menu but what I've eaten has been good (I'm not personally going here to eat though) I'm going for their fun drinks, both cocktails and mocktails, and the view.
I do see people coming for the first time sometimes get discombobulated as to where to find it. Go in the building and take elevator and you'll see an open peachy pink door that leads to their bar.“

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

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

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

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Great fun with the family“

“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!“

“ravon was attentive and quick all the while being the only one at the front of the house while his partner was on break, i assume. the food was great, too! i only docked one star bc im sensitive to cold air and i was getting chilly but it wasn’t a huge deal“

“The folks here are wonderful - staff and visitors alike. The drinks at the bar are very creative, the stout was recommended and it was actually the best stout I've had. We will be back!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“Awesome beer selection, atmosphere & live music!“

“I AM NEW TO THE AREA AND THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST FOOD THE BEST DRINKS AND THE BEST STAFF ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! 10/10“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Low key the most reliably delicious beers in durham. Never had a bad beer by them. They always have something interesting too (not just an IPA warehouse). What’s more impressive is that they keep this 5 star rating consistent while also changing up their menu regularly (unlike horse-dinosaur and others)Gotta love the view of the park as well. A+ brewery“

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

“Great open space with events for beer drinkers and non-drinkers alike! The staff is very helpful with selection and suggestions and I also love that they have a small craft cocktail area with some hard to fond mixers and garnishes! I've been several times and will keep going back!“

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

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

“This is my favorite taco spot in the area, the patio is amazing and the food is incredible. High quality service as well.“

“Loved the friendly atmosphere and dog friendly“

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

“P&O is such a fun little place to grab breakfast or lunch. The quantities you receive are, in my opinion, are shareable. If you don't want to share, you have enough for another meal. While you wait for your order, you can shop for little gifts for yourself or someone else. There are also many luxury bath items to indulge your senses.“

“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.“

“Have driven by so many times and finally experienced the outdoor dining last night on a beautiful evening. The food was delicious (even thought they had run out of the rice and beans we were excited to try - just a great reason to go back!) Loved the drinks we tried, and we even splurged with some ice cream at the end. Service was fast and friendly. Now we just wish we had gone sooner!!“

“Fun atmosphere and excellent drinks.“

“Wonderful staff and incredible wine selections.

The only thing they’re missing is a menu that is better curated to their wine list, even better light snacks than the chips or (in my opinion overpriced) prepackaged cheese would go a long way. Though to be fair, it does seem like you can bring your own food in so that is an option.“

“Good time with friends and games. Grab a nice drink its chill

“This bakery is truly a Durham delight. I had my first date with my partner here two years ago and we’ve been coming regularly with an amazing experience every time since. Their service is so good, the people are fun, talented bakers with warm and friendly vibes, and the atmosphere is so cozy. The food and pastries are always delicious and feel like a home cooked meal. Great for lunch or a small breakfast for sitting in or to go. Lovely bakery!“

“If you’re in the area and you like beer, you must go here. The knowledge of the beer-making process seems to be the core of Beer Tooth (which is pretty important for a good brew). I’ve learned so much and appreciated the process more than I thought I would. Friendly staff, chill vibe, and you’ll almost always meet a cute puppy.“

“OUTSTANDING!!! my family and I were there for the art exhibit and we had dinner there. the food was amazing and the staff was kind and accommodating. Do yourself a favor and spend a little time in this wonderful Cafe you will not be disappointed !!“

“We had a wonderful time and the beer was great. Ben the bartender made our visit even better. Can’t wait to go back.“

“I'm here from Texas and lived in Mexico City for a little while. Coming to North Carolina，good Mexican food was not an expectation. But last night I saw people standing out in the cold eating by this truck and so I stopped in. Wonderful birria and wonderful people. I will be back - can't wait to taste the rest of the menu.“

“We had an afternoon of Whiskey tasting. it was absolutely incredible the guy (Duke) was so knowledgeable about everything whiskey. We tried 6 completely different but all incredible whiskeys (well except the Ardberg).“
