50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Hillsborough

“While traveling through the area, we had the pleasure of discovering a hidden gem—an up-and-coming local distillery and cocktail lounge that left a lasting impression. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. The staff wasn’t just friendly—they were incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to walk us through the unique distilling process behind each of their handcrafted spirits. Their passion for the craft was evident in every sip and every story. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or just curious about small-batch spirits, this distillery is a must-visit destination. We can’t wait to return and see how this exceptional local spot continues to grow!“

“Great beer selection. Large and cozy tap room with plenty of room inside and outside to chill out and enjoy. BYO Food and a rotating selection of live music. Great for groups of 2 to 20. And a distillery next door... Winner winner BYO dinner“

“We don’t order or dine out much, but we highly recommend this place. It’s a hidden gem that makes Mexican food with a very traditional approach. They also use fresh products. I can’t get enough of their Raja Tamales. The owner and staff are very friendly. Give it a try.“

“good sushi“

“I got a cheesesteak fries coffee and a brownie for $13. I couldn’t even finish it it was so big!! Definitely recommend“

“Best cheesesteaks in Somerset/Middlesex area. Consult with Nick or Maria as to their great selection of cheese, including provolone, Cooper, pepperjack and mozzarella.“

“Best and affordable vegan restaurant downtown.“

“So glad we have a place like Uncle Tanks in town! My favorite local go to.“

“We always have the BEST experience at Fresh Tiki Bar! Every time we go, the place feels bright, cheerful, and so welcoming. It’s the kind of spot that instantly puts you in a good mood.

Everything we’ve tried has been absolutely delicious and so creatively presented. You can tell they really care about making each treat fun and special. My son is completely obsessed with their waffle wands and never wants to put his down. It’s safe to say this has become our favorite treat stop!

If you’re looking for amazing desserts, a happy vibe, and a fun experience for families, this is it. We already can’t wait for our next visit!!!“

“Excellent food great service never disappoints highly recommend“

“Not only are the burgers reasonably priced, but they are pretty darn good too. Quick service. Lots of people get take-out but you can et in diner-like setting. You can order burger from the adjacent bar, but not the other way around [no beer in the burger joint].“

“Amazing service, food, and atmosphere! Dining at Pink Pistachio Cafe was such a beautiful experience. Mariam was very attentive and helpful. For drinks ordered the mango mojito and pink matcha lattes. For lunch we enjoyed the fresh chipotle chicken sandwhiches. Cannot wait to come back again and order afternoon tea and desserts.“

“daFilippo's is a hidden gem of a restaurant that has been my family's special occasion standard for many year's. The Northern Italian menu which changes to focus on only the freshest ingredients has a little Swiss influence and is presented with an artistic touch and personal care. Last evening I hosted sixteen business associates in the back room which has an iron gate for privacy. Filippo presented a five course meal which blew everyone away followed by him playing a few songs on the Piano. The Chicken or Cod dishes were pan seared to perfection. daFilippo's is a BYOB restaurant which I Love. My wife remarked how clean the restrooms are kept. Plenty of parking in the rear of the building. In closing, if you are looking for a family owned, unique restaurant where the owner chef touches every plate to ensure perfection then this is the place to make a reservation.“

“Great coffee, great breakfast, and friendly atmosphere!“

“We recently had my daughter’s soccer team lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. I spoke with the manager on duty the evening prior and it couldn’t have gone smoother. We had the whole top floor to ourselves. Service was amazing as was the food. We sometimes have issues splitting checks because the girls want to sit together away from their parents but they handled it with ease. I’m still dreaming of the delicious ice cream that was the cherry on top of a great experience.“

“A hidden jewel. This 50's themed diner is always immaculate. Staff is well trained and really friendly for this family owned business. We, until recently, worked our business from home so Chris's is our home from home. Always accommodating, food is excellent, prices fair. My happy place❤“

“Great Food. Great Staff. Highly recommended“

“The Bridgewater NJ is my local Crumbl, but I have been to others . Bridgewater is the cleanest one I have been to. Also, they are insanely busy, but I may have only had to wait a minute for my order maybe once or twice, and I visit crumbl twice or more a week on average. It's an addiction for me at this point! For Bridgewater, if there were a 10 star option, I would have picked that!“

“Consistently excellent food and atmosphere“

“Great coffee shop! Everything is organic in the shop. Love their cold brew Shandy, which you can customize with their various organic syrups throughout the entire year. Also their bacon breakfast sandwich and large crumble cookies (they have four or five different kinds) are to die for. And their organic lemonade is also awesome! And the barista’s know their stuff. I also like their grab and go organic sandwiches.“

“I recently had my bridal shower at this tea restaurant, and it was absolutely awesome! The ambiance was perfect – so charming and elegant, which made it feel special. The tea selection was incredible, with so many unique and delicious options that everyone enjoyed. The food was also amazing, from the delicate finger sandwiches to the scrumptious pastries; everything was fresh and tasty. What really stood out was the service; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. It was a truly memorable experience, and I highly recommend this tea restaurant for any special occasion. Thank you for making my bridal shower so wonderful!“

“la atención y la comida es exelente“

“Kyma is the reason we drive 30 minutes for amazing authentic Greek cuisine. Our appetizer/small plate of smoked eggplant dip & lamb empanada with herb mint sauce was a wonderful start. Sea bass in tomato broth with potatoes & Aegean shrimp dish were perfectly prepared. We had to have the baklava with vanilla ice cream (no pic as we attacked it!). The ambience, service and food made for a beautiful meal!“

“Luna Rossa is an exceptional restaurant which is run by a loyal and dedicated team under the direction of Adrian. Our first time visiting this establishment was with a party of 10. Adrian took all of our orders including appetizers without writing anything down. The food was delivered to perfection. I am astounded by the diversity of the menu, the ability to switch out sides, the quality and taste of the food. The chefs are talented and cook to delight every palate. I can not say enough about this wonderful restaurant including their staff Carlos, Kevin, and everyone that works so hard to deliver memorable meals. I look forward to going back soon. Thank you!“

“My daughter and I were in the area for an appt. and we came across Tino’s and I have to admit this is by far THE BEST Pizza we have ever tasted in our life!!!!! If you have not gone there- please do!!! They have excellent food and will not disappoint. Cheers!!!!“

“Went for my birthday and it was great. Food was great so was the service, even tho they were busy we still got our food and drinks promptly. Will be making this our regular spot to go for sure. Also the Bison burger and chicken and waffles with the chipotle maple syrup was amazing. Give em a try.“

“No words for how good the food, service and atmosphere is here! Highly recommend to everyone. We are visiting from North Carolina and are glad we made a stop here.We will be visiting Tierra mia on the next trip here for sure! Everyone is so friendly here and the food was delicious. They also have beautiful mural artworks inside and artwork of Costa Rica. Again everything was amazing but if i had to choose a favorite dish it would definitely be the empanadas 😋“

“Great space, great beer, great staff!“

“The two people I was with were really happy with their menu choices and said the food was really good, and everything was nicely presented, but my House Waffles were dry and tasteless; they looked really nice though, and the scrambled egg I ordered on the side was perfect. Excellent service and really nice atmosphere. We'll certainly go back, but I'll make a different menu selection. In short, I really recommend The Bridgewater Cafe, I just can't give as enthusiastic a recommendation for the waffles.“

“We loved both the food and the atmosphere. The interior is cozy and manages to make diners feel pampered without being stuffy. The menu is interesting and well-executed, the hamachi appetizer being particularly delicious. I appreciated the selection of mocktails as well.“

“Outstanding sushi. Traveling for business, walk in group of 10. Great experience. Super impressed with the quality of the food. 10/10 would recommend. Probably will come back again before we fly out. Worth it“

“I recently visited JOES PIZZA and had an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The pizza? Simply amazing. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside yet soft and chewy inside—exactly what you want in a pizza. I tried their signature EGGPLANT PIZZA, and the combination of fresh ingredients and bold flavors was a delightful surprise. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, and everything tasted so fresh. What really stood out was the variety of toppings and unique combinations. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re into classic Margherita or prefer something more adventurous. And don’t even get me started on their homemade sauces—wow! The portions were generous, and the prices were more than reasonable for the quality you get. I’ll definitely be back soon to try more from their menu. If you're in the area and craving delicious pizza,“

“We have been disappointed with our go to diner lately so we decided to try bridgewater diner. We placed our order, with some notes attached. We got pork roll egg & cheese, home fries bagel with cream cheese fruit cup & chocolate milkshake. All notes were read & followed. Sandwiches were loaded & roll was fresh. Bagel & fruit cup were very good also. Now, time to eat used to be our go to, but lately the food is not up to par. The home fries were not fresh just warmed up & dry. Asked for gravy with French fries & did not get. Roll was hard, no pickle or coleslaw with blt. No syrup or butter with pancakes. Will not let you put in notes. This has been going on gor the last 6 orders. Bridgewater diners home fries were fresh & so much better, added onions per request, pork roll sandwich was excellent. Hands down much better then time to eat diner. Needless to say Bridgewater diner is now our go to diner.“

“Amazing food. Had hummus shareable platter. Fresh ingredients and tasted amazing!!“

“Carlos pizza is amazing, our absolute favorite pizzeria. We've been getting them for over 8 years. Recently I my food allergy escalated to the point where any exposure to it sends me to the ER. With that said, i haven't been able to order take out as its a major risk. I took a chance and requested them to exclude these ingredients from the pizza and to avoid cross contamination. They went the extra mile and made a safe pizza!! When you're not able to order pizza for months, this means the world lol. BIG THANKS TO CARLOS!! You rock! ❤️“

“Excellent food, friendly family business. Highly recommend! Best Chinese Food in the area!“

“Outstanding food, great atmosphere and attentive staff.“

“Delicious protein shakes and super friendly customer service!“

“Great old fashioned diner with solid menu and very accomadating staff.“

“Your juices are always super fresh and delicious! I highly recommend that everyone try it. My favorites are Midnight mint, Spiced cider, Just dandy and Beet it. Guaranteed to get addicted! Also love the limited blends!They also have a juice subscription plan where you get juice as often as you like! amazing!“

“Great + fast service! Delicious“

“Fast, fresh and delicious. Friendly owners, free cans of sodas on certain days and/or if you buy a few dinners? Not positive how it works but the first time the lady told me that I was happy, that’s how you treat customers, paired with quality Chinese food and you have yourself a go to spot.“

“The staff is nothing but the best... super friendly and very accommodating. We have always been treated like family every time. The food is great... good variety on the menu and quite tasty. Had numerous party's and always received the most welcoming, caring and supurb experiences!!! Great spot!!! Highly recommend!!!“

“The food is good I like the oreo drink,but the order took long because people kept interrupting and this family kept on interrupting the lady that kept doing the hard work and she was doing the hard work and atleast put a extra worker to help her“

“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!“
