50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Highland Park

“Really nice chill breakfast-ish brunchy place. I ordered a lot of food as much of it was pretty novel options that I have only had once or twice while traveling. All of it was very good. The location wasn’t anything fancy, very casual, but with an overall nice vibe. Staff were very friendly and helpful.“

“Penstock is great. Their tea is awesome and it always hits the spot. Also, the staff is very helpful and down to Earth.“

“Great neighborhood bar and vibe. I've been here a few times for live music. There's plenty of room both inside and outside to hang out. Drinks are tasty and the bartenders are friendly. Haven't had the food but I've heard good things from friends that have eaten here.“

Please support Global Grace Marketplace and Cafe for amazing gift items and out-of-this- world delicious and nutricious food!!! Marcia Marcal Persiano“

“Great my favorite place to get the Boba tea“

“Do you really live in a small east coast or Midwest town if you’re not eagerly awaiting the seasonal opening of the local ice cream shop? Closer to Edison than HP proper, this no-frills ice cream shop in a barn-shaped building serves up some excellent ice cream. They offer everything from soft serve to dole whip.

Some notes for when you go. There’s a limited amount of parking spaces, a small amount of picnic benches for seating, they only take cash, and there’s always a line. It goes pretty quickly though! I highly recommend walking there if you can!

Dietary restrictions: They have dairy free and sugar free options.“

“This restaurant has by far the best thai food I've ever had (and their portions are huge). My favorite item on the menu is the Guay Teow Rad Prig; it comes with tons of sauce and is extremely flavorful. Their fried ice cream is also a family favorite. I've also tried the mango sticky rice, which is very good. I highly suggest coming here!“

“First time back since 1973! Even better than I remember it. California cheese burger, fries and a soda. Served up in about 3 or 4 minutes, hot and fresh. I will not wait another 50 years to go back! LOL“

Everything was fresh and very flavorful definitely coming back here when I’m in the area.“

“Tiny location, packs a pearl.... comedy. ?I love their Thai Tea Boba and their waffles are amazing ?? whether you like croffles or their house made (?) batter. All smoothies I've had have been delicious as well as their Dolgona(hope I'm spelling that right) coffee boba! SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS??tons of parking btw!“

“the staff is excellent nahum end sulma yarixa the guy who helps you select the food for the bowl is amazing. also the manager at night is also very sweet! great environment! food is amazing. they also have specials and also can get points. the service is above and beyond“

“i rarely write reviews but this place is so good that i must write one. i first tried their brown sugar boba back in 2021 and i was honestly blown away. it's a basic drink, but something about it differentiated them from the rest of the boba shops that also has brown sugar boba. every time i come here, their boba pearls are always perfect (not mushy, soft, chewy, perfectly sweet). i've also tried different drinks such as their taro puff cream, rose milk tea, and matcha creme brulee, and it did not disappoint. i believe they're reasonably priced too, compared to other boba shops where a large boba would cost almost $10. as someone who has tried most of the boba places in central jersey, i can say this place is definitely one of the top (in my opinion) in the area!“

“We love the atmosphere, the delicious homemade soups, main dishes, and desserts at the lovely Friends Friend's Cafe :) the jazz evenings outdoors, the chess-playing and studying students & Mo, Josephine, and Hannah with the heart of gold for all furry friends who are welcome inside the cafe, and, of course, on the patio <3 <3 <3 Below is our Rover enjoying his doggie meal and a comfy bed at the cafe :)“

“Delicious protein shakes and super friendly customer service!“

“We love this place! Great Sabrett DWDs. My favorite is the Spicy Sabrett with either cheese or mustard. Good selection of toppings. There's also chips and drinks available. Right next to the railroad tracks in Jamesburg. A great easy and quick lunch!“

“I recently visited this Subway shop, and I was thoroughly impressed by the overall experience. The service was exceptional — the staff (Mr. Ashok) was not only kind and helpful but also attentive to every detail, making sure I had exactly what I wanted. The quality of the sandwich was top-notch, with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors that left me satisfied and impressed. On top of that, the cleanliness of the store was impeccable, which is something not often seen at many other locations. If you’ve been disappointed by other Subway branches in the past, this location will definitely change your perspective and set a new standard for what you expect from Subway. Highly recommend!“

“Súper delicious food and spot !“

“Friendly staff. Great food presentation. Quick service.“

“Comfortable environment with knowledgeable & friendly staff. Always have something that I enjoy and let you sample before a full pour. The menu changes often enough that there is something new to try but also the classics on standby. Located in a quite area but close enough to rt 1 so pretty much anywhere will deliver. They also offer different events and food trucks, so there is always something to look forward to.... the best part? They're SUPER dog friendly!“

“As a Asian food enthusiast I’ll have to say that this place have one of the best Pork Fried Rice in the area, we visit this place very frequently portions are good people is kind, prices might not be like other places but, Rahway is not linden or Elizabeth rent is higher at this area. Parking is an around the building located at the back, Not a fancy place not a dine in place but at the end of the day food is amazing.

Parking: PARKING AVAILABLE BACK OF THE BUILDING“

“We tried this place for the first time and it did not disappoint! We were originally nervous because of the high price point, but it was quickly justified by the quality of the food.

The fried chicken from Combo A had a light crunchy exterior, and the meat was juicy, hot, and succulent. The chicken was perfectly cooked.

The waffle fries were crunchy and slightly spicy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. Order them as fresh as possible so it’s at its peak crunchiness.

The chicken sandwich was AWESOME. The bread was sweet which paired well with the spicy Mango Habanero sauce that we selected on the chicken. While it was on the pricey side, it was large. Worth it!!

The soy garlic sauce was sweet yet garlicky. It was really flavorful. The Seoul Buffalo sauce however, was not good. It was too tangy, and tasted like Franks Red Hot Sauce despite all of their sauces being house made.

Overall we’d HIGHLY recommend this place as a place to splurge when treating yourself to some awesome fried chicken 😍😍😍“

“It’s the best pizza ever sandwiches & Stromboli salads the pizza is very thin crust great flavor“

“great place great food what a gem ....“

“Great coffee and delicious breakfast/brunch food.“

“I stopped by Stewart’s recently, and wow what an experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly smiles and that classic, welcoming atmosphere. The menu had everything I could hope for, from delicious burgers to perfectly crispy fries, and don’t even get me started on their shakes they’re thick, creamy, and absolutely delicious! You can tell the ingredients are fresh, and each item feels like it’s made with care.

The service was quick, but nothing felt rushed, which I loved. It’s clear that Stewart’s isn’t just about fast food; they’re about good food and good vibes. Perfect for families, groups of friends, or anyone craving a quality meal without breaking the bank. I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend!“

“Love, love, love this place forever and will always be my go-to spot for great vibes and drinks! Riley and Parker are such amazing bartenders and keep the vibes up in the pub at all times! The drinks are some of the best I've had in New Brunswick, and the prices are just reasonable compared to some subpar drinks I've paid more for in other pubs in the area.“

“I love this place. Hand made tortillas are really tasty. There isn’t any other lace like this in miles! A local gem! Me gusta mucho y lo recomiendo por encima de los otros que hay alrededor“

“Ordered calamari and it was so salty when we got towards the bottom. Ordered the Easter special entrees (prime rib and short rib) with mashed potatoes, same thing. Too salty that it wasn't safe to eat for someone like me with high blood pressure. Manager came over making his rounds and we told him about the overly salty food today. He went to the kitchen to check and came back and agreed with us. He said they were making a new batch but never heard from him again even though he was in our area multiple times. There was no offer of comping part of our meals considering that my wife and I did not have an edible side (mashed potatoes) to go with our meal. Have been dining here for years and this has been the worst experience we've had at this establishment. Disappointed that we didn't get another side to eat with our meal.“

“It seemed like the restaurant was closed but my friends and I was able to order some drinks at the bar, then we moved to a table for dinner. Our server Dominic was very attentive and helpful. Chicken tasted a little too dry, but all the other food we ordered was amazing; especially brisket! It was so tender and tasty. Two of the desserts we ordered with a cup of cappuccino were phenomenal. We were so full after finishing the bbq combo plate, but sure did finish both of the desserts ? I'm glad this place is open for the public. Will definitely comeback ??‍♀️“

“Cute costa Rican 🇨🇷 spot.
Very friendly and welcoming.
The empanada are $5 but if you are a big empanada fanatic like me, you should definitely try it. The chicken and beef are my favorite. They are stuffed... no air pocket whatsoever. Pulled beef and pulled chicken.

The food was good but a bit blend. Just need a little more seasoning on the eggs especially. Maybe salt and pepper may solve it for some but I needed more. Lol

I got the breakfast tacos and added chicken to it. The chicken were just added on top and the were big pieces of chicken. I had to diced it myself to mesh it all together. You must be quick with the tacos or the tortilla gets very soft and makes it impossible to hold.

Overall I enjoy my empanada and took my leftover which I spice up the next day on the stove.

If in the area again, i would visit this place for their empanada and delicious ice coffee.

You can bring your dog here. Very dog friendly and I thing they were doing photoshoot with the dogs when I visited.“

“This is one of my favorite places for pizza in my new neighborhood! The vibe truly is chill! Where menu items are prepared with fresh ingredients and a smile! The flavor is so amazing! The pizza dough is soft and foldable. Truly yummy! The owner and her people are very pleasant as we always chat when I come in! They are in the right business and i shows! The Garlic Knots are super fresh and oh my goodness...DELICIOUS! Grateful they are here and so glad I walked into their place that first time! They care about the community! What a blessing!! Keep doing what you do!!!“
