50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Garner

“Loved the Coconut Crush ☕️“

“Amazing! It was love at first bite for me! And the staff is just as amazing!!“

“Service was great and the food was excellent .“

“Good food, drinks, bands, and staff“

“Went last night with some friends and had a great time. The bartender was excellent. Service was great. Food was great too. Will definitely be back but it is 30 mins away from me. Nice little arcade area in the back, a little something for everyone. Very reasonable prices on food.“

“I love the food. My favorite is the grilled salmon salad. I also Love the 100 grade rating. I didn’t rate it 5 stars because the lighting is always so dim that it’s hard to read the menu. Also, the bathroom is extremely old so always looks dirty. I only saw one bathroom and that was for both men and women. That is unusual for a restaurant.“

“tailgaters meals are great“

“I don’t normally write reviews for restaurants but after visiting Prime, I just had to let others know. First, the restaurant was clean and beautiful inside and out. The staff was friendly and attentive. The line to order was out the door. I guess that should have been my first clue that the service and food was going to be out of this world. They offered cold water to us while we waited in line. This was me and my family’s first time trying this restaurant and they were so patient and answered all our questions on meat and the best options. (Yes, we were those people holding up the line. Sorry!) The young men cutting and preparing the meat were knowledgeable and super nice. I ended up purchasing several items (Brisket, Ribs, House Made Sausage, and Turkey Breast). All I can say is if you are within 100 miles of this place you must make the trip! Your stomach will love you for it!“

“It has to be one of my favorite restaurants for brunch in Raleigh.“

“Absolutely phenomenal! Tonight was our first time trying Torchy's and it will definitely not be the last. Awesome vegetarian options that packed a ton of flavor. Mike and the entire team were so patient with us as we asked questions and had a sincere interest in ensuring that we were happy with everything. thank you all for an outstanding experience.“

“We're from Graham, NC and visited today for the first time. Everything about this place is fantastic! Great service, great food, comfortable atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Highly recommended.“

“Excellent venue! In town for a weekend and this was the first place on our list. So impressed and pleased after the first day, we came back the next. Play mini golf and have a beer? Yes please! Excellent food, excellent service. Will be back!“

“This was my first visit to the Raleigh location on May 28, 2025 with two out of town guests. three diff dishes were ordered..brisket, St. Louis rubbed ribs and burnt ends. The brisket and burnt ends were amazing. The ribs however were dry and tough. The meat certainly did not fall off the bone. I would not recommend the ribs based on this experience.“

“Howling Cow is the perfect mix of education and enjoyment. The ice cream is rich, creamy, and made with milk from cows right on the farm. The Dairy Education Center gives visitors a unique look into how dairy products are made, and the Randleigh Dairy Museum offers interactive exhibits for all ages. The porch with rocking chairs and views of the pastures make it a relaxing stop. It can get busy on weekends, but it’s absolutely worth the visit.“

“The Depot on First has been open since October 2023 and since then has simply excelled as the only fine dining restaurant in the area. I think much of their success is based on the fact they not only maintain consistency in areas such as attention to detail, exceptional customer service and quality culinary experience, they also continue to evolve and adapt to changing tastes, trends, and customer preferences. I enjoy seeing their ongoing tasting and intimate dining events, of which I will have to attend at some point. Another cornerstone of success for many restaurant's is Authenticity, and this Farm-to-table restaurant continues to prioritize authenticity by sourcing quality ingredients directly from local farms and producers. They don't take any shortcuts when it comes to freshly prepared food to save time which is why I will wait patiently in the elegantly decorated intimate, warm and inviting dining room for my entree upon every visit. No Rush! Just me bring me another perfectly prepared old fashioned. Don't hesitate to step outside of the box and try something new on the menu, I am not a fan of porkchops, but I have become a fan of theirs. This is an environment that will put a smile on your face, Ben and staff are simply exceptional, every visit feels like coming home to dinner. I look forward to spending some time out on the beautiful back patio this spring. Cheers!“

“We had a wedding rehearsal dinner there this past weekend. Delicious food, good sized portions, excellent service! Thank you so much for making it a wonderful occasion.“

“I love the first thing you see is black lives matter and the rainbow flag their support of equality means the world! 🌎
Limited menu but everything was really good our waiter was awesome very friendly very sweet. Prices were reasonable. We would definitely come back“

“Food was delicious, drinks excelent. Service esa awesome. We'll definitely go back soon!“

“Had the best time at Crank Arm! Fantastic drinks, awesome staff, and such a chill vibe!“

“I used to go to Gym Tacos very frequently. Their food is really delicious. The place is ok. Not a big fan of it but ok. I think that the Chorizo and Al Pastor may be the tasty ones you should not miss. Be careful with the Serrano pepper, it might be very very spicy. Sometimes you wouldn’t think it’s a Serrano pepper.“

“Really enjoyed the brisket nachos- solid flavor everytime. The quesadillas are huge! We also ordered the guac this time (usually go for the chips & queso) and while it tasted fresh it was missing the heat factor I’m used to. Be aware- there are no open restrooms! When we asked where we could wash hands/ change our baby’s diaper we were told to go across the street to the public park restrooms.“

“Absolutely wonderful experience and big thanks to the owner Mr. Jessie for being so humble and creating a beautiful restaurant. Would recommend to anyone on the planet who thinks good service is important.“

“This is my favorite stop when I’m in town. The owners and staff are amazing, the service is great, and the food even better! Having a one of a kind vegetarian menu this big is amazing. I just wish I was in town more often to try all the things! I was in for lunch a few days ago during a rush when they were short-staffed, and the owners stepped in to handle the surge. We had amazing service. Seriously the best all around.“

“the best place in Raleigh and the bartender knows how to make drink“

“Delicious coffee with an awesome company mission! Recommended whole heartily!“

“Quick friendly service… And an amazing menu to choose from… I had the tomato, pimento cheese pie and the deviled eggs, and they were both absolutely fantastic… I highly recommend!“

“We had such an amazing time at Red Line in Raleigh! The atmosphere is relaxed but still full of energy — the perfect spot to unwind and have fun with friends. The owner is a genuinely great guy who goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels welcome. Service was spot-on, the drinks were fantastic, and the whole vibe just made the night even better. Definitely one of our new favorite bars in the city!“

“The best spot for casual draft beers and an excellent selection of bottles to take home. They also have amazing food trucks and are located in the middle of Raleigh!“

“Love everything about this place“

“food was good..nice staff the decor was more than we expected ..will be coming back“

“This place still feels relatively trendy, even though it's been open for years. Our appetizer, the nachos with ahi, was simply amazing. The sushi itself was good. And we were there on a Wednesday, which was half price bottles of wine, a nice surprise, indeed. Our server was friendly, bubbly, and very attentive. Overall, a really good experience!“

“Sean’s Shack is hands-down serving the BEST burger I’ve had anywhere in Raleigh and that’s saying something! Juicy, perfectly seasoned, cooked to absolute perfection, and stacked with fresh toppings that actually taste like they were picked just for my order. Every bite was pure magic. Friendly service, great vibes, and food that makes you want to come back the next day (and the day after that). If you’re in Raleigh and you love burgers, stop what you’re doing and get to Sean’s Shack. You can thank me later.“

“Great Food, even better staff. So happy for the cuties couple/bartender Jen and Paul heard that they are having a little one this fall🥰“

“Great beer and wine! Friendly ambiance.“

“I recently moved to the area so I went in for a loaf of sourdough and a blueberry cake and croissant while I was at it. Quick and easy service even when busy.
They have a decent amount of ready to go items like jams, merch and such. Gotta try some next time.“

“Despite coming in on a whim on a Saturday at 430, I was able to get seated quickly and the waiter appeared soon after.

The food was served quickly and while I had the chefs board, so nothing was cooked, the crostini was crisp and the baguette nicely warmed. I was getting a bourbon flight so I appreciated that there were 2 types of cheese, breads and meats along with spicy pickled vegetables, a kicking Dijon mustard and a sweet preserve. So all in all nice variety.

My waiter was attentive without being annoying, and despite sitting indoors it wasn't as loud as I thought it would be. The patio looked nice too I just wanted a chair not a bench.

The whiskey/bourbon menu was extensive featuring American, Scottish, Irish and Japanese options. They also have a section, flight and Wednesday discount for NC distillers.

I definitely go back to try something else, both alcohol and food.“

“We visited from Arizona and we were not disappointed, the food was incredible. The atmosphere was warm and inviting the portions were fantastic. Everything was fresh and came out quick and we had the pleasure of meeting the owner who was super friendly. It was an amazing experience and we can’t wait to come back!!!!!!“

“Apparently the food is good but I wouldn’t know because I couldn’t get the owners/ crew to call me about my order. I was told multiple times, “I will call you back”. I was even told to send the menu I desired. It was my daughter’s first birthday and I needed a caterer. Customer service is important but clearly that is not Corner Boys priority.

UPDATE: After posting my previous review, I spoke with James from Corner Boys and I must say I am truly pleased with the conversation we had. He showed how important customer service was to his business. I look forward to working with him in the future.“

“Top notch brewery with a death theme.“

“The gentleman was so friendly and patient. He gives great recommendations if you are indecisive and honestly you can’t go wrong! Had ham and cheese, bacon and cheese, pork chimichurri and chicken empanadas and they were all delicious. Both the hot sauce and chimichurri sauces are must have. Best part is that they are prepared when you order them, not just sitting on display. Worth the wait!“

“Great vibe! Mixologist Jefferson skillfully guided our craft cocktail selections. Impressive knowledge, real ingredients. At his recommendation we grabbed a couple of slices (authentic NY pizza) from Oakwood Pizza Box next door, that did not disappoint!“

“Great local spot! Friendly & knowledgeable staff. Top notch service and wonderfully crafted drinks. Highly recommend!“

“SO glad to finally have a good local cidery in the Triangle! They have a good dry and semi-dry selection, and a rotating seasonal special and cider spritzers/cocktails. Tons of outdoor seating with shade in summer and fire pits in winter.“

“The tea was amazing! The staff is friendly aswell!“

“I had the Philly tacos on Saturday at the Altis by Serenity neighborhood event and they were PHENOMENAL! I’m not even exaggerating when I say these were the best tacos I’ve ever had in my life. The staff was amazing and took great care of us (I was with the band playing). Definitely recommend them and can’t wait to have their food again!!“

“Amazing ambience and food great location loved it“

“Excellent beer choices and service!“

“Great atmosphere, great food, great staff, and even great prices!! Check them out for your next date night!“

“Everything was amazing. The old fashioneds are still the best we’ve ever had. And I tell anyone who will listen about the brussel sprouts. We usually come for lunch so we often only get Brussels and sliders but the last two times we tried the featured burger and lemon risotto. The lemon flavor was subtle perfectly balanced and complemented the salmon I added. I am hoping to come back and have it again very soon. The service is always great and one of the main reasons we come back. Everyone has always made us feel welcome and often remember us. We don’t come in enough to be considered regulars but we are always made to feel that way. Be sure to make a reservation. It’s a small restaurant and we always see it fill up fast especially for lunch.“

“Definitely one of my favorite hole in wall bars to go to...... great food and ice cold beer. Love all the live music they offer as well :-)“
