50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Merchantville

“We tried the chocolate chip cookie skillet with vanilla ice cream and it was delicious! We also tried a peanut butter cookie skillet with the salted caramel ice cream and that combination was an absolute Star ⭐️ The cookies are freshly baked to order, Highly recommend! If you are in the Merchantville area, definitely check these guys out. The shop is clean and family friendly! 😃“

“We hosted my daughter’s 5th birthday here and it was amazing!! The lanes are clean, modern and the party room is so fun. They had everything organized & prepped with bowling balls/ramps set up for the littles, balloons and decor in the party room & additional lanes for the adults. The only thing we had to bring was cake/cupcakes for the kids! The staff was so kind from the booking process to day of, and the food is awesome - WAY more options for the adults/kids than your average bowling alley pizza. When comparing locations to plan the party, their prices were comparable to other bowling alleys in the area, so it was a no brainer. A more upscale space, better food, and WAY less chaotic. My daughter was thrilled, the kids had a blast and we can’t recommend them enough!“

“I had a great brunch. Loved the atmosphere. Food was excellent. I’ll definitely be back“

“Everything tastes so good, homemade and well-prepared! Go as soon and as often as you can!“

“Not the best barbacoa I’ve had, but still a good one. Reliable tacos with the usual sauces and toppings. You can pay cash at the counter or use your card at the kiosk. Staff is friendly, but you may need to pay closer attention if you order through the kiosk to make sure your order is being prepared. Happy to support Chef Cristina and her cooking!“

“An extensive variety of tapas restaurant with a good selection of wines and outdoor seating area. A focus on fresh, all crafted with the finest authentic ingredients. **Wine Selection**: A curated list of wines which achieve recognition as the "Best Organic Wine List" in North America in 2023. **Ambiance**: A cozy, inviting outdoor patio with comfortable seating, perhaps with Spanish decor and ambient lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere. **Service**: Knowledgeable staff who can provide recommendations on food and wine pairings, and who offer friendly, attentive service.“

“Great food, good service and reasonable prices“

“It was a really nice vibe and great food“

“Both the food and the service are Excellent.“

“Loved dropping in here on a Saturday. Very relaxed vibes walking in here, perfect for a relaxed meet up, coffee or quick bite. My wife and I ordered the Ume Plum Tea, Vietnamese Latte, Khang’s Special Banh Mi, Crispy Tofu Banh Mi, and Doenjang Butter Fries. The Ume Plum Tea is so unique, and their Vietnamese Latte is the best I’ve had. Their food portions are big, and will definitely leave you full. Highly recommend this place!“

“Tried Asad’s in Pottstown for the first time today. The slider was great and that Asad’s sauce, wow!!! Whatever you guys are doing keep it up!“

“Came for espresso and sat at the espresso bar. All the gentlemen at the bar were pleasant to chat with. The espresso tasted great. It’s roasted in house and the quality of the espresso machine makes the 5 star quality beverage. True Italian experience.“

“While visiting the city that I grew up in there has always been an abundance of restaurants to eat, look no further than Mabu Kitchen. The atmosphere of this cozy cornerstone in washing square will have you taste buds going wild. The burgers are a cooked exceptionally well with a fluffy pillow of a seeded bun…..it’s mouth watering. Then on the side, of course they have fries but the salads they provided were also a timeless palate refresher between burger bites. Highly recommend, the staff are very attentive, kind, and welcoming. It all ties in with the atmosphere of the place. They take attention to detail seriously and it shows in the way their food is cooked, plated, and served. Well done Mabu Kitchen, I’ll be seeing you for brunch as well.“

“Food was delicious! Good vibe!“

“Food was delicious and staff was friendly“

“The staff is amazing, so friendly and welcoming. It was our first visit, and they were not rushing us to place our order. Expect to wait during peak time. BUT Worth the wait, coffee ☕️ so yummy!!“

“Hidden Gem! The staff- so delightful. Went for the first time and was guided by a magical lady who guided us on how to order. The food- QUALITY. The tacos are stuffed! Prices seem high but when you get the goods, it all makes sense. The two of use ordered a variety of tacos (6) and took two home with us because we were stuffed. Don’t pass on the aqua Fresca or cookies. Happy to have this style of tacos in south Philly. Thanks 💜Taco!“

“Great covered outdoor patio along with tasty food - perfect combination.“

“Delicious weekend menu! Get there early it gets crowded, but super friendly!!“

“Just landed after midnight. Got to my place i am staying tonight. Wanted a drink and googled this place. Good vibes.

And my espresso martini was good. Nick the bartender was awesome and welcoming. First time in Philly for my bday week I'm impressed. Will be a regular here the next five days lol“

“The food was wonderful as the service was fast. I couldn’t believe the check. Extremely reasonable for all you get. I’d definitely recommend Kanella to anyone“

“Great coffees and super friendly owner/ baristas!“

“Victory Brewing Company in Philly is hands-down one of the best brewery stops I’ve made in a while. The space is awesome, the beer is next-level, and the staff? Let’s just say they seriously bring the place to life.

Shout-out to Paige behind the bar—super cool, funny, and yeah… HOT! She made the whole experience even better with great energy and solid beer recs. Total rockstar.

Speaking of beer, Kelly’s Hero was the standout for me—not just because it’s delicious, but because the proceeds go toward ALS research. That kind of purpose behind a pint makes it even more worth drinking. Love to see a place mixing great beer with a great cause.

Already planning my next visit!“

“Very tasty food and very personable owner. You need to try the falafel and also the Fava beans. I would go back again in a heartbeat.“

“What a charming little cafe with such wonderful staff! I had the pleasure of chatting with one of the owners, who was just delightful and really took an interest in her customers. It truly adds a special touch! ✨

I popped in to grab some brunch for my mom and me since we’re staying at an Airbnb and wanted something a bit more satisfying than what we've been eating.

Cafe Tolia was just what we needed! I went for a breakfast sandwich with egg and roasted peppers, while my mom enjoyed the Maple Honey Sandwhich and couldn’t stop raving about it—she actually asked me why I didn’t grab another one for later! The coffee was hot and delicious, complete with fresh cream. And oh my goodness, the BOMBOLINI was absolutely amazing! I savored every single bite and definitely need to get another one before I leave town. The Chocolate Croissant was equally scrumptious!

Such nice people, a lovely atmosphere, and tasty food—what more could you ask for? 💖“

“the absolute best! Fresh, hot pretzels the way God intended. Reminds me when we were kids and my Mother took us for pretzels“

“I have beengoing to Johnmy while life over 60 years..always a special treat. Always“

“It has been a life changer! Wow don’t know how good you can feel till you feel so much better. Give it a try! You won’t know how or want to stop! Thanks James!“

“Absolutely best breakfast sandwich value hereabouts.“

“We just love our new family restaurant! We get treated like family everytime we go!!!! The atmosphere is so cozy and the staff is exceptional. And let's talk about the food - it's absolutely to die for! The portions during happy hour are perfect and the prices are so reasonable.

But the best part? Let me introduce you to DAVID! He's the star of the show - always attentive, funny, and he makes drinks like a true master! Whenever I go, I insist on being seated with David.

They made our anniversary so special and they truly care about their guests' experience. We feel so lucky to have this gem in the neighborhood. I'd travel far and wide for this level of excellence!

Oh, and I can't forget to mention my favorites: The Good Good Things drink, the Buffalo wings during happy hour, and the amazing cheesesteak! And my kids absolutely love the huge, deep dish, extra cheesy pizza.

We're off to our reservation with David - can't wait! If you go, make sure to say hi to him and tell him Mink sent you!

Almost forgot the fresh house made potato chips!!!! So so so good!!! Don't skip them!

Kid-friendliness: Always awesome and patient with my kids!“

“Yards represents a great story of a local business that does well enough to expand and grow. The location offers a great variety of food as well as the iconic brews they're known for, in an open, though sometimes loud, environment. Parking options aren't great if you're not walking or Ubering, but it's the city so that's to be expected. That said, I was so happy when they took over this former commercial space and transformed it a few years ago and demonstrates how successful their brand has become and not just in the Philadelphia area!“

“ecxelente servicio personal muy atento amable y te ayudan a seleccionar buena comida y bebidas 💯 recomendable“

“I went here for the 1st time yesterday after hearing other people I know rave about it. I described it to my husband as “like Chipotle, but Mediterranean and way better!” I chose a mix of grains and greens as my base. For the grains, they let me get a little of 2 different ones (couscous and bulgur) and I chose kale & arugula for the greens. The 2 proteins I chose were chicken (tasted like seasoned and grilled thighs) and falafel (best I’ve had). There were SO many toppings to choose from, but I got shredded carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, white bean salad, a parsley quinoa salad, garlic hummus, baba ganoush, pickled beets and a spicy eggplant thing they said is a fan favorite (so good). I chose the spicy yogurt dressing on the side. Since it was my 1st time, they also put a little tzatziki on the side too and that was my fav. You can taste that it is fresh made in-house. I went home and ate half. Well, that didn’t last long! The clean and healthy ingredients just made it feel good to eat. The other half was just a half hour later! Highly recommend!!!“

“Love the breakfast basket!“

“It’s a cute cafe. Banh Mi is good . Love how they use seeded bread. I like the blended espresso and my daughter likes the cookies & cream.😋 The catering food was delicious . My guests liked the shrimp tapioca wrapped in banana leaves. Spring rolls was very stuffed with lots of meat . Highly recommend this place!“

“Noted as a wine bar. But much more. The menu is limited but imaginative, very good and large portions. We found it on our last night in Philly. But we won’t wait until the last night when we return.“

“This is maybe one of my favorite coffee shops anywhere. First of all, the space is just too awesome, exactly what I think of when I think of a coffee shop. Love the open windows, small and simple menu, and the total vibe. Wish I had this close by but live to visit when in Philly! If you’re looking for great coffee in an awesome space, stop here!“

“The food and the service are excellent. I recommend the Sausage Rolls, however everything I have had is good.“

“Best coffee shop in Philly!! A must-stop when in the city.“

“This place is great! A wonderful place to let your dog socialize, as well as yourself. And if you don’t have a dog , come for the food, it’s all very delicious! 5 Stars“

“Absolutely worth the trip to come here! The Omurice was phenomenal, the taro tea was amazing, and the cherry blossom jelly nearly brought me to tears. Will be coming back soon.“

“The lemon chicken tagine is to die for, and the macaroons are so delightful and flavorful. Soufiane catered for a small gathering and the food, presentation and service was excellent. I can't wait to visit the Cafe in person! Congratulations on your opening!!“

“We love Herman’s Coffee both as a business and a customer. They have good coffee and a great environment to start your day!!! +love their collaborations with small businesses 🤩“

“Jiggy coffee was a great spot to hang out and enjoy a matcha latte! The matcha was thoroughly whisked and did not have any chunks sinking to the bottom - which often occurs when rushed. I’m so happy I was finally able to give this spot a try!“

“Beautiful lounge with cool vibe!!“

“Todo super, y excelente servicio!“

“Good coffee, good pastries, good quiche, nice atmosphere, wonderful staff and owners!“

“Excellent Food & Amazing Service 👍👍“

“Attic brought us in to play their St. Pat's show, and man - the place is awesome!! Great food trucks outside, awesome beer, kind, fun, friendly people and ... obviously, killer (and handsome, we might add) entertainment. Sláinte, Attic, we'll be back!“
