50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Raleigh

“Delicious Best food ever Awesome customer service Thanks so much“

“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.“

“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.“

“The bartender is super friendly and will give you some really good recommendations with the beer. I can't review any of their food there, since I haven't ordered any.

Overall, it's a good chill spot with an incredibly selections of beers.“

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

“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.“

“Food and mocktail- Thyme drink were delish!“

“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“

“Love everything about this place“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing ambience and food great location loved it“

“Only had two bread choices but that was my fault, I went at 1 pm. However everyone loved it so it made me look good.
ETA: Went again on a rainy Sunday. They had a lot of pastries & cookies, more than I remembered. I got a ham & cheese croissant for there & a piece of coffee cake to take home. Tasty food, great staff, & enjoyed sitting at the window as the storm passed by.“

“Awesome place, delicious food and super friendly staff!“

“Man, I had to revise this review. Love their crab cakes, but man, I just can't get enough of their NY Strip Steak. Perfect medium rare and that incredible char on the outside of the steak, yum. The Mac and cheese side might be the best I ever ate.
These folks make the BEST crab cakes in Raleigh. Prime rib is delicious.“

“Very good food and friendly relaxing awesome etc“

“Great little neighborhood deli in N. Raleigh area. Ordered the Grand Gobbler on focaccia (bread was perfect & so fresh) & the potato salad (literally some of the best I’ve ever had). It was all so plentiful & so very good! Place has a very simple, but tasteful menu. Super nice staff working Sabrina & (Dalton brought our food out & spoke) he always does a perfect job on preparing our sandwiches! 🥪 Overall service was great! Definitely a must for a quick lunch stop! Will definitely be back asap!“

“Nothing beats a passionate chef. Tonight was my first experience, and it's only the beginning! The staff was amazing and did not make me feel rushed. 5-star plus. I've never been to a restaurant where all the mussels were open and full of flavor until Northside Bistro. It was impressive and absolutely delicious, and they also serve some of the best cocktails I've ever had!“

“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.“

“A Classic Irish Pub and the Perfect Neighborhood Spot.

Whether you're craving a fresh draft beer or comforting pub food, this is the place to be. The menu is packed with delicious options. Don’t miss the creamy potatoo & cheese croquettes, classic boxty, the indulgent mac & cheese, the flavorful Tra’li Burger with rashers, or the hearty shepherd’s pie. The warm, welcoming atmosphere makes it a true neighborhood gem where lifelong friendships have been formed.“

“Amazing food and great service!! All that is needed is an ocean view. Best empanada, moist and flavorful. Great presentation and plentiful portions. Highly recommend“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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).
