50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Oaklyn

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

“Once again excellent pepperoni pizza delivered fast and hot. Will not go anywhere else. The young delivery guy was so pleasant.“

There is one woman there every time I go, and all I've ever seen her do is chop fruit. Just constantly chopping mangoes or pineapple or whatever. So it seems like everything is made with real, fresh ingredients.“

“Stopped after a winning Phillies game, and got a few slices and a couple cheesesteaks. The pizza is amazing with a little crunch and great flavor. Cheesesteaks are perfectly made with great flavor, perfect seeded roll and the cheesesteak sandwich is n a perfect size and certainly not tiny. Great portions.“

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

“Unique food, cozy, candlelit atmosphere. Our group enjoyed it tremendously. Highly recommend.“

“We dined here while visiting Philly for the weekend. We managed to walk in, but the restaurant is small and intimate so a reservation is probably best. It is also BYOB, so remember to bring a bottle of wine if you want something to drink.

The menu is clearly marked with gluten-free options, making ordering easy. Our server asked about allergies upfront and was confident handling the request when we noted my partner has Celiac (we mentioned it as a gluten allergy to the staff). We ordered the seared duck leg confit and the steak au poivre, and both were excellent. My partner had no symptoms the following day. We did not ask specific questions about shared kitchen space, but the clear labeling and great atmosphere made for an excellent dinner.“

“I am new to the cheesesteaks here even though I was born and raised in South Jersey. I was today years old when I first had a cheesesteak with onions. Excellent moist but not soggy sandwich and love the roll! My first Donkey's sandwich will NOT be my last!! Yummy!!“

“Everyone who was working there was genuinely friendly and the food is amazing. I definitely recommend the wild mushroom toast.“

“Dave was a great waiter! We enjoyed our time“

“Love everything on the menu! BEST pastrami sandwich ever! Recently went to Rosenfelds in Rehoboth and had the worst experience! Skimpy sandwich, tasteless cheesecake! 4th Street could teach them a thing or two! I love the chopped liver and the matzo ball soup! The pastrami sandwich is to die for! I highly recommend“

“Excellent Food & Amazing Service 👍👍“

“I only stopped in here to grab a coffee and all I want to do is go back! One of the best iced lattes I have ever had!

But yeah if you live in Philly, let your coffee ☕ here!“

“1)wonderful food and a goodly portion.2) BYOB 3)Not cheap but reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. Hits the Restaurant Trifecta!!!“

“I absolutely love Taco Heart! Having lived in Austin for many years, I often crave authentic breakfast tacos and jalapeño crema salsa, both of which can be hard to find. Taco Heart is my GoTo spot now that I live in Philadelphia. The food and drinks, the vibe, the music, and the location are all exactly right.

One recent Saturday, Nano even let us stay in the restaurant well past closing time while a strong storm blew through. We got to sit inside, warm and dry, and watch the torrential wind and rain and eat his delicious food. It was amazing.

Can't say enough good things about Taco Heart!!!!“

“Walking into REN’s feels like stepping into a cozy refuge from the chaos of the outside world. This place is not just a coffee shop, not just a bookstore—it’s a community hub, a creative sanctuary, and a labor of love brought to life by one of the most inspiring owners you’ll ever meet. The owner, is the heart and soul of the place. Their passion for people, literature, and coffee shines through in everything—from the hand-picked book selection to the thoughtfully crafted drinks and baked goods. They know their regulars by name, support local artists and authors, and host events that bring people together in meaningful ways. Whether it's book clubs, charity drives, or just offering a warm smile to someone who needs it, they go above and beyond. The coffee? Phenomenal. Smooth, bold, and consistently delicious. And the pastries and snacks are always fresh, with plenty of local and seasonal ingredients. As for the books—expect a mix of beloved classics, hidden indie gems, and everything in between. It’s the kind of place where you go in for one thing and leave with five (and no regrets). Whether you're there to read, work, meet friends, or just breathe for a minute, this space welcomes you like home. Ren’s coffeehouse/book store doesn’t just mean enjoying amazing coffee and books—it means supporting someone who genuinely uplifts the community. Places like this don’t come around often. Cherish it.“

“Absolutely delicious! Don’t sleep on this great restaurant for eat in or takeout. It’s great every time!“

“Visiting Philadelphia and wanted an iconic cheese steak . Victory was very good. Three out of the five of us had them and the other two enjoyed a burger and chicken sandwich. Sampled a flight of brews and enjoyed the experience. Would recommend if looking for a sports bar atmosphere. Had a few of the local brews and even bought some to take home.“

“Food was delicious! Good vibe!“

“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!“

“Truly a 10/10 experience from start to finish.

This was our first visit after hearing so many great things, and we left feeling like family. Our server, Grant, was fantastic, super attentive, incredibly helpful, and genuinely kind. The rest of the staff made us feel just as welcome. We were originally seated inside but asked if it would be possible to move outside, and they happily accommodated us without hesitation.

Since it was our first time, we had no idea what to order. We basically rallied the staff and bombarded them with questions, and everyone was more than happy to help. We ended up trusting their recommendations, and they absolutely nailed it. We ordered the sausage & fennel pizza, the mushroom white pizza, the kale Caesar, the focaccia, and the ricotta dip. Every single thing blew us away.

The pacing of the meal was perfect. Everything came out at just the right time, so the table never felt cluttered. We definitely ordered with our eyes, but we weren’t complaining because the leftovers were just as exciting to take home.

The focaccia deserves a special mention. You can tell the bread program is something they take a lot of pride in. Their dough is absolutely dialed in. As someone who loves wood-fired pizza, it’s always a treat to get a pie that’s still sturdy and not floppy,
a difficult thing to pull off when you’re cooking pizzas in under three minutes at around 800 degrees.

One of the highlights of the night was when the chef let us try a new dish he was working on; a tomato salad with caramelized breadcrumbs. It was absolutely mind-blowing and fit seamlessly with the rest of the menu. I think it’s easy for new chefs to come in wanting to make a statement or put too much of their own ego into every dish. This wasn’t that at all. It was thoughtful, humble, and incredibly well-executed. It complemented what was already a fantastic menu instead of trying to overshadow it. You can tell there’s a real sense of collaboration in the kitchen, and it’s exciting to see that kind of synergy. They already had something special, and it feels like great things are still to come.

Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the portion sizes were perfect for me and my date.

A huge thank you to Danny, Grant and Garrett, who were absolute sweethearts, along with the rest of the team for making our first visit so memorable. The food was outstanding, the service was exceptional, and the hospitality made all the difference.

We’ll absolutely be back.“

“Hi we had a luncheon yesterday 8-4-25 it was a celebration of my cousin’s life. There was 10 of us and they knew what service was outstanding. My cousin always was at your place for breakfast or lunch. It was perfect send off in her memory. The servers went above and beyond to take care of us. I will definitely be back. Donna P“

“My friends and I have lunch here about 5 times a year before attending shows at the Walnut. The food at Moriarttys is consistently good and our usual waitress, Nicky is the best. Nicky treats us like family and we just love her.“

“My experience at Tataki was overall really good! I came here with three friends and all the starters were a hit! I highly recommend the ube fries they come with a really good special sauce! Service was amazing the manager gave us a free ice-cream highly recommend.“

“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 🤩“

“Hands-down, one of my new favorite restaurants! My boyfriend and I went to last night for New Year’s and the staff there was insanely amazing and kind and thoughtful and generous. My boyfriend had a medical emergency which resulted in us having to leave via ambulance and the staff there just handled it was so much grace. I can’t believe I’ve never been before but I will 100% be going back again and again and again! You guys are amazing and we are forever grateful!“

“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!!“
