30 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Saluda

“Another great night at the Purple Onion. The staff is terrific - they work together and serve with the right pace and attention. Last night we enjoyed salads and a pizza and not disappointed. The trout dip we started with was very flavorful and served hot. Crème brûlée to end the evening was perfect. The Onion offers a great reservation setup for live music. Thanks again!“

“Great little bar in downtown Saluda to grab a drink. They had a good selection of local craft beer on tap, as well as a fridge full of cans and bottles. The bartender was on the ball and very sweet. She knew all the locals by name and was able to recommend beers to the new people that came in based on their taste. Was obvious that she knew the menu very well. I was impressed, a very friendly spot. I can see why so many locals like coming here. You can sit at the bar or they have a good size area outside with seating.“

“This is where the locals go and you should too! They bring in high quality entertainment, the service is solid, and the atmosphere is great for sipping.Parking: Carpool with your crew because parking is limited and the spots out front are slim.“

“Stopped in to get an ice cream after a hike to Pearson Falls and Glen. Great little sandwich shop and ice creamery. Lots of flavors to choose from and they make their waffle cones in house. The staff was very friendly and offered free tastes to help in the decision process. We will definitely be back when we are in Tryon, NC.“

“My husband and I had a very nice time at Appalachian Ridge. We arrived shortly after they opened and since it was a weekday we ended up being the only ones here. It was so beautiful and peaceful out on the patio. They have tons of pretty areas on different levels outside as well as a gorgeous inside bar area. All of the ciders tasted good and the service was good as well. Each time we are in the area we will make this one of our stops.“

“I have been to many fine drinking establishments in my life but the Blue Door is my all time favorite. It has over 500 beers to choose from under perfect refrigeration. In addition there are 20 rotating taps of excellent curated beers from the best local and regional craft breweries. If that sounds like too many choices, just ask the owners John or AJ to help you. Tell them what you like and they will find a perfect match for you. They have been amazing in helping me try new beers but matching it to what I enjoy. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and has a feeling of comfort to it that invites you to relax. I highly recommend the Blue Door.“

“Wow - this was the best scooped frozen custard I've ever had. I am a big purist when it comes to ice cream and other frozen desserts. I don't order blended, topped, mixed stuff. I want only the dessert in its purest form. And this place is excellent for that. It was super refreshing after an afternoon of hiking. We got fast service and very generous servings. I could only eat about 2/3 of the double scoop. My husband had about 3/4 of a medium Whit-zer (? Sorry if I'm spelling that wrong!).“

“On vacation from Michigan, we needed a late lunch after hiking to multiple falls in the mountains. What a find! It was warm and breezy outside; perfect for their bright picnic tables on the patio.The menu has astonishing variety and is all fresh ingredients, made onsite. We each ordered 2 and had the option of flour or corn tortillas. We tried gyro, fish (grilled), steak and carnitas. Each has perfect seasoning and flavor.Unlimited chip basket came with a salsa trio. Again, each flavor was unique and delicious. And the staff was extremely friendly and helpful.If we get back to the area, this place has earned a repeat visit.Kid-friendliness: Indoor and outdoor seating.Wheelchair accessibility: Flat entrance and patio area“

“Very chill, family owned winery. The owner and his pup greeted us upon arrival. FYI we had 3 Ubers cancel on our ride to bold rock. I asked a “stranger” in the parking lot for a ride who was more than happy to give us a ride! Come to find out he worked there! Super awesome guy didn’t even want to take our money for the ride!!! Def will be back!“

“The best shrimp quesadilla you can get in 50 miles with sine of their Awesome red hot sauce and AI for extra limes and you have a perfect lunch. Another seriously good hidden gem. The steak isn’t my favorite.. tends to be a little tougher than necessary the times I’ve tried it. They have Mexican Coke in the bottle which is a big yes. Don’t go there for their ambiance. Go there for a quick to go order, they accept order aheads.But seriously, the pastor tacos with extra lime and their red hot sauce is very crave-able and especially the shrimp quesadilla.. just to be clear.. on the shrimp…. Quesadilla….. Yep.“

“It is a vintage cafe, very well decorated, with friendly people. This cafe was born from the dream of seven friends and a passion: Coffee You will also find freshly baked products!Kid-friendliness: They have a large place, with books and board games for the family.“

“Stopped out of curiosity- wasn't terribly hungry. I was greeted with a smile and told that 2 tacos would be perfect for my hunger level. Don't know what got into me- I generally don't order fish from a food truck unless I'm familiar with it- but I had a hankering for it so got the fish tacos. I was so pleasantly surprised. And for $6, you cannot go wrong.The location is kind off the beaten path, and there were still cars in and out mid-afternoon. So obviously this place is a known little treasure.Clean.You can call orders ahead at 828-458-3370 (I should've took a pic of the menu. Next time, because I will definitely go back).“

“We’re become frequent visitors over the past few years. Everything is impeccable from chicken to doughnut. The service is so fast and friendly. We’ve only had to go back up to the counter after ordering on one occasion and they were so quick to reconcile and even gave us a box of doughnuts to take home!! We love “

“We looked for little coffee shops to stop for a quick bite on our way to Pigeon Forge from Florence SC and went out of our way to stop here. Totally worth it! The service was amazing. The bacon egg and cheese sandwich hit the spot. The iced coffee was good too! If we are ever back this way, will definitely stop here again!“

“We left our previously loyal vineyard to visit this one and we are so glad we did. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with smiles. Our tasting was fantastic, (guy with bun) couldn’t have delivered better service. The wine was fantastic from white to red. We left with two bottles. The outdoor atmosphere was beautiful with a great fireplace. We are loyal customer of Marked Tree in the future.“

“My husband and I stopped here, our last full day before we head back home to michigan, and I have to say this place was amazing! The atmosphere was 10/10, the service was 10/10 and the beer as well, 10/10. I asked the girl at the counter who was on the shorter side with brown hair (I didn't catch her name but she was awesome) what beer I should try because I was having a hard time deciding and then she suggested a few to sample so I did. I really liked them all! I also bought a four pack and she said she'd leave it in the fridge for when I'm ready to leave and when I went up there to grab it I hadn't even said anything yet and she was grabbing the pack and putting it in a bag for me. I wish I lived closer!!“

“Great traditional beer, cool atmosphere and a full bar if you're not feeling beer. We didn't try the food but love that they offer American and German options. Appreciate Sean, the bartender, suggesting some other great local places to visit. Like the half pour option!“

“Dry Falls Brewing has an amazing vibe with an excellent variety of tasty beers. Jeff the owner sets the bar for fantastic customer service and knowledge of craft beer. Not only did he and his team do a great job of taking care of us, he also hooked us up with dinner reservations for 8 at a great restaurant, the Flat Rock Wood Room, on a Saturday night.“

“My absolute favorite winery in the AVL area. They always have fun live music, great food trucks and an amazing selection of wine. They have something for everyone. Staff are super friendly, long term employees who I've gotten to interact with for many years.“

“fantastic. my fiancée and I both loved our snow cones and our dogs were so delighted with their cute pup cups! this is a snow cone place that has actually good flavors and fluffy “snow,” not just ice chips. highly recommend and can’t wait to come back.“

“Charming place, super friendly owner and staff and very yummy drinks . Went on the Wed songwriters in the round night. Good songs and talented local musicians in an intimate setting, telling stories about their songs, harmonizing together. Really enjoyed it and I highly recommend.“

“This place is amazing. We came for a bday dinner w 10 girls...I could see how this place even better with having dinner or drinks outside when it gets warm.. we still managed to take great pictures. I put 4 for service only be cause I and my friends asked how much was a bottle of wine just be cause most of us has been drinking the same rose by the glass and we wanted a bottle. Asked 4 different times and we never got a response. I don't get why such a big secret.. we still got a bottle. FOOD had amazing taste , we all loved it! I'm putting few pictures.“

“My wife and I have been wanting to try The Baker's Box for a while now. Today was our lucky day! We tried their "Big A** Fish Sandwich" which was one of today's specials and the Ashe-vegas Panini. Both sandwiches were delicious, but that fish sandwich might have been the best I have ever had. The house made roll and tarter sauce were out of this world! I just wish there was more and that it was a permanent menu item. While ordering our lunch, we were tempted by the dessert display to the left of the registers, so we ordered a lemon tart and an oreo cheesecake brownie to take home. Highly recommend this place! Just don't stop in for lunch if you are in a rush, they have signs reminding you that this is not a fast food joint.“

“Hubba Hubba catered our wedding and it was perfect! Guests raved about all of the food-- especially the brisket, mac n' cheese, apple slaw, and corn bread!Jeff and Jody and the rest of the staff were also so sweet, helpful, and efficient. They were already comfortable with our venue (Camp Ton-A-Wandah), so they made set up and clean up a breeze.They went above and beyond!! We can't thank them enough.“

“I was told to stop here from my sister and she was right. The baked goods looked amazing. I got a gluten free pizza. It was the potato but I subbed prosciutto instead of potatoes, yes nightshade allergy. It was delicious. Next time I’m buying all of the baked goods.Also, service was wonderful and friendly.Thank you!Will be back soon :)“

“The fish was light and delicious- lots of flavor. The potato wedges were not cooked all the way through. Shepard's pie was savory and served hot with a side gravy that was amazing. The waitress seemed annoyed. Atmosphere was definitely a pub style, but family friendly too.Parking: Find a spot on the main road or side streets and walk to the pub“

“This was the very first time I've been here and my fiance and I love Thai food and thought we would try it. We were very surprised at the selection as well as the portion and the tastiness of the food. We will definitely be back when we are back in town. Overall it was my favorite place to eat while we were visiting!Vegetarian options: I am pescatarian and it was one of the best Tom Ka soups I've ever had. I added shrimp in but it was very good and my fiance loves spicy food and he thought the spice was awesome!“

“Excellent food and they were great with food allergies! The kitchen manager came out and double checked everything and answered all our questions. We felt safe and well taken care of.Dietary restrictions: Knew all their ingredients and food prep and were able to accommodate multiple allergies including dairy.“

“2nd time we have tried and STILL fantastic!! I MUST give the owners and staff and extra merit for working Easter Sunday(2024)!! We had some things arise and couldn't make it home to our families last minute.??❤️??Both experiences we ordered the same because it was sooooo good!!* Fig-Et About it Pizza* Boneless BBQ wings* Arugula salad* Chicken Parm SubThe staff was very nice and friendly! We got it to go but the patrons inside seemed to be enjoying themselves as well!The prices are very affordable.I highly recommend this place! They also have a nice front outdoor patio.“

“Received in welcoming warmth by tasting room pair, but restaurant was closed despite reservation and listed open times on Open Table. This winery does have large restaurant building, but separate tasting room only thing open on a Wednesday at 1:00 pm. Servers apologized with confused acknowledge of misrepresented information on Open Table. After a redirected drive to Japanese restaurant downtown, we returned for an appreciated and tasty wine pour. Servers were excellent.“
