50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Maplewood

“Excellent service and great quality! They gave me samples when I arrived. I couldn’t resist, I had to get the sea moss drink that they recommended was one of their best sellers. And just when I was about to leave, they allowed me to have a sample of the chicken noodle soup, to die for 10 out of 10.“

“We were in the area and stopped for a late lunch at the Park Wood Diner. I felt like a burger and ordered the blue burger supreme. Was not impressed as the burger was well done and not by order of medium. The burger itself was not seasoned so a bit disappointing. Decided to have dessert and ordered a slice of plain cheesecake and it was delicious. I would recommend it highly. My wife ordered the chocolate cream pie which was also delicious.“

“The margherita pizza and house salad have been a favorite and a staple my diet since we moved here five years ago. But tonight, after slice/uber eats screwed up my order, Sabatino himself came and delivered my food and won my loyalty forever! You really can't beat excellent food and a kind, community-oriented owner. Please check this place out if you haven't already!“

“Dope every time I go amazing food.“

“crispy fish with mango sauce was delicious 🤗😙😋“

“Roman Gourmet has been around a long time and they have delicious pizza and other Italian specialties. When you come here for pizza, it's as if you walked into a time warp - the pizzeria looks like it's from another time, but they have amazing service and always with a smile. If you order a pizza to go, you know it'll be ready within 30 minutes, not like some of the other pizzerias in the area. A great place!“

“The Goldilocks of bagels…. I tried a lot of bagels in nearby Milburn and South Orange but I keep returning to Bagel Chateau. The bagels are not too thick or thin. I also receive prompt service and easy parking compared other nearby villages.“

“So the food is actually excellent. I’d love to give them five stars except 1. I have no idea what I was charged so much for (I ordered Chicken Egg Foo Young w/FF, Spring Roll, and small Egg Drop Soup; $24) 2. There’s a few different prices on the menu for the same items and 3. I can be wrong because it’s the first time I tried Egg Foo Young ever but I don’t see or taste any chicken in my Chicken Egg Foo Young. The food really is amazing though. I’ll definitely order from them again because it’s really hard for me to find a Chinese food place I really like. Asia Garden is so far the top Chinese food place for me. Hunan Wok can easily take 2nd place.“

“my bestie and I like to search for new places to eat. THIS place is now on our fav list! the food is astounding, the fresh carrot juice i had was delicious. The owner is warm and a delight! may he flourish here because this is going to be a repeat spot for us!“

“I came for the tiramisu latte and it did not disappoint. Super creamy- it tasted like a perfect tiramisu dessert! In fact, I believe the whipped topping may have had some mascarpone in it! Lovely!
I also ordered the 3 cheese spinach empanadas and they were very cheesy, yet the dough was, crisp, light, and delicious.
There was no oily residue- perfectly fried.

Looking forward to coming back and trying some healthy options as well.“

“Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.“

“Kawana and Natorie provided outstanding service and was very welcoming when entering the restaurant. Kawana made sure that my food was fresh. I would come here again.“

“Anáis is a great server I recommend her she is the best“

“I’ve lived in the area for quite some time and I’m disappointed I haven’t tried this place sooner!

For starters, I really liked the chill, laidback vibe. I tried the Vietnamese coffee and the brown sugar banana espresso - both were perfect. Not overly sweet and balanced well with the coffee. The banana espresso is one of the best I’ve had - highly recommend it, especially if you’re a banana fiend like me.

I came for the coffee, but also ended up getting some sandwiches, which were very good. The sandwiches come on a soft English muffin. The BEC sandwich was eggcelent, with a big fluffy egg paired with thick cut bacon, melted in cheese.

Great local spot, will be coming back soon!

“Delicious crepe and latte! Wonderful staff. Would definitely return to try some Turkish treats.“

“Went for dinner on Friday with my boys. Stephanie was amazing. her recommendations for entrees was perfect. The timing and meals were great. Was a nice evening.“

“Everything! I loved Nick’s. First time there and it did not disappoint.“

“apps were good, service was even better. live atmosphere on a Friday evening to boot.“

“Wine was ok, but the cake...........................insane“

“So freaking delicious! Portions are huge in my opinion for stuffed arepas, so you are definitely getting your moneys worth. Tried the fruit salad as well, the fruit was fresh and presentation was so nice although it was a takeout order. There is definitely a little bit of a wait time on your food, they are making it with love… so be patient. Will be back to try more!“

“Had a few hours to kill before my flight at EWR. Looked up restaurants near the airport, found this and I’m so glad I did. Friendly staff, delicious Beyond Burger wrap w sweet potato tots, and a deeeeelish freshly made strawberry lemonade. Highly recommend! I’m keeping this place in my fav saves. If I’m ever back in Newark NJ I’m def stopping back. That drink was so perfect for the hot day!“

“They have the best social hour!! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great!!!“

“This place I found on google about two months ago while in New Jersey and fell in love with them. The establishment is so clean and the servers are so helpful and very informative about their products. This definitely is a top notch healthy business that to me is like a home away from home. I also want to give a huge shoutout to my server TODAY D. Natalia at the Harrison location. Such a pleasant, helpful and cheerful individual. I reside in Bronx NY and will be more than willing to commute to the Harrison location because of D. Natalia customer service. If you haven’t tried Vitality Bowl yet. Please do as you will not regret it! If you go to the Harrison location (which is my favorite) tell D. Natalia James sent me because of your exceptional customer service!“

“Jenn did such an amazing job taking care of me at Ruby Tuesday! It was my first time visiting The Mills at Jersey Gardens, which you can imagine is a very overwhelming experience (especially in December!). I decided to come to Ruby Tuesday to figure out a game plan & decompress and she was nothing short of kind, responsive, and prompt!! I would definitely come back to Ruby Tuesday for Jenn’s service and kindness(:“

“Wonderful peaceful atmosphere. Comfy seating with nooks to plug in and work. Locally authored books in the shelves. The chai has a perfect balance of herbs and spices and is not too sweet. Also had an amazing empanada and a freshly baked-on-premises cookie. Love the local focus of this cafe. Will come back again to try the fresh leaf teas and the other empanadas.“

“Nothing… but good things to say about this place. Seriously. Not only was our food vivacious, extraordinary, and a religious experience for the palate — our server, Sam, was nothing but helpful and attentive throughout our entire meal. He was incredibly inviting and warm (this guy should do stand up) and our experience would not have been the same without him. Now for the food. The flavors… where do I even begin? Rich. Luxurious. Multi-faceted. Whether it’s a poke bowl or a shrimp tempura roll you are guaranteed a transformative experience. When eating here, be ready for excellence. No joke. 11/10 will be coming back. Additionally, the atmosphere in this niche underground Montclair spot was nothing short of perfection. Both the songs and the beautiful views of the raw bar were essential to our wonderful experience. Till next time Sushi Koshi.“

“I recently visited Rush Bowl, and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had in a very long time. As someone who frequents different restaurants, this visit went far beyond my expectations.

For starters, the customer service was superb. MaryAnne and Reginald were extremely welcoming, warm, and attentive from the moment I walked in. The great service didn’t stop there. I had the chance to try their fresh smoothies, bowls, and Rush Bites, and everything was truly exceptional. Each item was full of flavor, made with fresh ingredients, and you could tell they take pride in what they serve.

If you’re looking for a place that delivers both amazing service and delicious, wholesome food, Rush Bowl is definitely worth the visit.“

“Pana House Restaurant is a fantastic spot for Venezuelan food! I had the pabellón, which was delicious with tender shredded beef, black beans, rice, and fried plantains. The Venezuelan sample platter was also great, featuring tasty arepas, empanadas, and tequeños. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is friendly. Definitely recommend checking it out!“

“The atmosphere is chill and I really like the Airplane vibe. The Airline seats really give it a nice touch. Coffee was great! Also love that old style Airline ticker on the wall. Will be back.“

“I stopped into this restaurant for a meal and when I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in to super cute restaurant. I was greeted and ordered:

Vietnamese Coffee with coffee jelly
Pho Bo with short rib
Banh Mi Sandwich with Shrimp

I loved the food and my favorite was the sandwich! The drink was also super tasty! All in all a really good experience!“

“I still rave about the garlic shrimp, pallella and sangria even in Nashville!“

“Cozy health cafe offering high protein waffles, crepes, teas/coffees, shakes, and more. I had the delicious dolce waffle which in addition to the high protein comes with fruit. The iced chai is lovely. My companion had the savory salty waffle and a berry protein shake, both of which he greatly enjoyed. We are happy to have found this gem.

Vegetarian options: Not sure if Vegan (ask), but for the lacto ovo crowd it's great

Dietary restrictions: Weight watchers friendly“

“Was going thru Grubhub for wings and came across this place. I said how bad can it be. Wow I was surprised and disappointed. Disappointed that they didn’t have popcorn chicken but substituted for wings. They were amazing .not greasy at all. Very impressed. Will definitely go again. Tried the potato dog as well … very interesting, very good…“

“I visit Sweet Jeans more than once per day when I am working - it really is the BEST cafe I've ever been to. Every single staff member is welcoming, friendly, and treats you like family from your very first visit. The coffee, sandwiches and pastries are literally incredible.

I find myself wishing I was at Sweet Jean's whenever I'm not in Newark.. there's nothing else quite like it!“

“Great TEC on a Kaiser roll and coffee. Many other great Italian food choices!“

“Went this evening to try this new place as I was graving some shawarma. Had a beef shawarma that came with olives and pickles. Flavor was very authentic Middle Eastern in both the shawarma and pickles. I also had their fattoush which was very good. 2 people can easily be served from both the shawarma and fattoush! Overall, good food, nice place. Will be back.“

“We ordered delivery to Union. Our order arrived about 30 min early and was fresh, hot and delicious!! I highly recommend this location and will become a regular customer.“

“Excellent food and the exceptional service given by the waitresses Lucy with her friendliness and attention to all customers“

“This place is everything you hope for in a hometown bagel shop: great food and genuinely warm service. Joe, the owner, is there every day and somehow knows everyone by name—it really feels like a community staple. When we first moved to the area, I made it a point to try every bagel shop nearby, and these are hands down the best. The bagels are consistently excellent, the breakfast sandwiches are fantastic, and there are plenty of solid lunch options too. My personal favorite is the Nova cream cheese sandwich. It’s become a family tradition for us to come every Saturday morning for fresh bagels, and they even freeze well for weekday breakfasts (which is surprisingly hard to find). Can’t recommend this place enough“

“We had the pleasure of dining for the first time at Due 360 in Summit. From the moment we walked in, Luis the manager and Brianna welcomed us and seated us promptly. Luis was very attentive and made sure we were happy with our order. Our server Sofia was extraordinary! she was warm and friendly with genuine smile. She offered excellent recommendations and we had conversation as if we're know each other for years. We started with a complimentary bruschetta, it was tasty and nicely flavored. I ordered the Tapas- Polpo Ala Plancha, Steak Yuca Frities and Crabmeat/shrimp tacos. Everything was fresh and bursting with flavor. The portion was perfect and the presentation was impeccable. Due 360 was quite a gem of an Argentine-Italian restaurant (interesting combo but it worked!). This place is going to be my "go to" dining spot. I highly recommend it and the experience is worth it.“

“Today was my first time here at Cava. The employee Danny was so sweet. She walked me through the menu options and explained the ingredients and how they pair together. Also, I was pleasantly surprised to see the portions here are much greater than Chipotle.“

“Good donuts, great staff, wasn’t sure what to get and they were able to walk me through getting something a little custom just for my taste. It’s always so bright and cheerful inside. Oh and the donuts are made fresh??? Amazing!!! (Try the cinnamon sugar donuts trust me)“

“Love Curiosity! Delicious, fresh and well priced food. The garden provides a great atmosphere. The staff is so friendly and the owner treats you like an old friend as soon as you walk in. Highly recommend Curiosity for your dining experience.“

“I love this place so much. I just ordered a booster smoothie and a rotisserie. Chicken flatbread sandwich and it was amazing! The beautiful woman behind the counter, who made it, made it with some love. I'm definitely coming back whether it's either to see her. Eat that amazing sandwich and have another one of those amazing smoothies.“

“Great place! Delicious food, friendly and accommodating staff and cozy atmosphere! Thanks for being so gracious, Steve! Hope your opening night serving dinner goes well. We’ll be back!“

“Very clean and well-kept inside, despite the slightly ragged condition outside. Very reasonably priced, good diner food.“

“Great location great business grade coffee downtown , Cranford the best“

“Stopped in while my son was at soccer practice on a whim last night and was blown away by the food and the amazingly friendly staff. The noodles were out of this world!! Prices were very reasonable esp in this economy. Will definitely be returning.“

“Great selection. New brews regularly and the staples. Great staff & atmosphere. Fun place“

“Great food, excellent service!“
