50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Willow Spring

“I stopped by this place on a random drive day, and I’m glad I did so. Amazing Mexican food, and fresh juices. Their tacos and burritos are way above your $$$ restaurant experience. The lady running this place is polite and courteous. Beautiful location too.“

“Coffee was good it’s our first time being there“

“If you are planning a special occasion or just want a night out at a wonderful restaurant, I have a bit of advice for you. Go to Chef Palette! This establishment has got it together. The atmosphere is just lovely. We planned our son and future daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner from afar, way far.....Michigan. As stressful as that could have been, Kathie did everything to ease our stress. She calmed this Momma's heart and executed everything to a "T". The appetizer table was not only displayed beautifully, it was YUMMY! The salad, main entrees and dessert did not disappoint. But most of all, the staff was most kind and extremely professional. We cannot thank Kathie and the staff at Chef Palette enough for the wonderful and memorable evening we shared together. GO TO CHEF's PALETTE!“

“The ice creams here are absolutely delicious! We tried several flavors, and the strawberry and tuffy toffee were my favorites. There’s a wide variety to choose from, and you can even customize your own sundaes. The outdoor scenery is beautiful, making the whole experience even better. Definitely a must-visit spot if you’re in Raleigh!“

“This is the best coffee house in Apex workout a doubt. So many great options, delicious coffee and the best cinnamon buns (according to my husband!). We go to Common Ground at least once a week and miss it a lot when we're out of town.“

“Great beer, friendly staff. Is there anything else?“

“Great London Fog Lattes and waffles with exceptional service and the best atmosphere!“

“We have been wanting to visit The Blind Pelican for a while, and finally took the plunge for my husband’s birthday. This trip will absolutely not be our last. The place was packed on a Tuesday night (it’s not a huge space, especially in the winter when outside seating isn’t available, so plan accordingly). Our wait time was exactly what the hostess promised, and service was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. All staff were phenomenal and checked on us while we were waiting as well as once we were seated. The staff aren’t overly attentive, which we love (they checked on us enough to be helpful but otherwise just let us enjoy our meal). We obviously HAD to try the crazy fun bloody mary’s. They were delicious - exceptional bloody mary’s, and all of the food on top was perfectly cooked and a joy to eat. I had the Taco Tuesday special - lobster tacos with a mango salsa that made me do a happy dance, and my husband had the steak and scallops. Everything was so good and worth the price, in my opinion. Quality seafood can be pricey in central NC, but worth it! The bloody mary’s are obviously a novelty item - but the quality was so outstanding that I would actually order one again (which is saying a lot as I figured it would be a one and done). I can’t wait to go back and try all of the other items on their menu - including some fun drinks & apps we didn’t have room to try this time. If you’re on the fence, just go! You will be glad you did!“

“Fast service very friendly“

“My only go to coffee place. I love all the different combinations you can make. Though my favorite is the Peanut Butter Huckleberry Latte. ❤️ It is pure perfection. Nonnie is my favorite go to Barista, and she makes my drinks perfectly every single time. She is so welcoming, friendly and puts a smile on my face every time I see her. She remembers my husband's order when we come in, and then puts up with my build your own drinks when I want to switch things up. 🤣 I love coming here, makes you feel like your in a small town with how friendly/welcoming they are. LOVE this place!“

Such a chill place with great beer( I am not a beer drinker bit I really like theirs!!!)

Great crowd!!“

“Whoever was working at the Apex location today btwn 3-4 did an AMAZING job. The line was out the door the entire time with screaming middle school pre-teens and he was calm, quick and efficient. He was alone behind the counter taking/making orders, ringing everyone up, everything by himself until around 4 (the gentleman who came in also was doing a great job but we left shortly after 4). Stellar service under pressure, very impressive! Please make sure they know they are appreciated!“

“We had a wonderful morning at Java Jive. We got breakfast pastries, coffee, and iced tea and spent a few hours working. It did get a bit noisy with a few groups meeting and talking, but that is not abnormal for coffee shops. It is relatively small, with small tables for 2 people and a single round table that seats up to 4. The coffee and pastry was good, and they have art for sale on the walls.“

“Very retro 1960s trippy but nice good service the place is super clean, I had the meat ball hoagie my wife had some kind of chicken sandwich I don't remember what it was called she was happy with the place also they have a lot of different beer on tap ,The bathroom was the best wheelchair accessible I have seen all restaurants should be this way thats why I added these pictures“

“I’ve been looking for a local coffee shop to support a small business and have a place to work from on my work from home days. I came here today and OMG. It’s so cute, the staff are so nice, and the coffee is delicious! I’ll be here every week!“

“Great food and service!“

“I decided to try some hibachi here tonight, and it was wonderful! The staff was very friendly, and they greeted me with a smile. I had the hibachi salmon. I added a side of fried rice and a side of jumbo shrimp. I placed a to-go order at the counter.

You can watch the chef preparing food by looking through a window near the register. The ingredients look fresh and delicious. It may have taken around 10 minutes to receive the order, although I didn't pay attention to the clock.

I was very pleased with the speed, quality, and service. I'd highly recommend this place to others.“

“Great wine bar with live music and friendly bartenders.“

“We enjoyed our half bacon Sicilian pie last night so much! The fried breadsticks were amazing too, as was the pepperoni calzone! The staff member who took our order over the phone was kind and courteous, double-checking to make sure the order was correct. Prices are more than fair. Could not have asked for a better experience and delicious food! Thank you!“

“The staff and management here is always welcoming, I have gotten to know quite a few of them on a first name basis and they are always friendly and kind. The food is excellent whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The drive-thru is quick and the dine in area is always clean. A nice less busy option to the one up the road in Beaver Creek (which is also a good location with polite staff).“
