23 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Rio Grande

“Who doesn't love Rita's? Especially down the shore? We stopped by this chain store for some ice cream. Plenty of parking. Staff opened up 2 windows to accommodate the crowd. There were tables outside with umbrellas for shade. They had a huge tic tac toe game so the guys loved it. We will be back!“

“My husband and I have made a tradition of visiting Cape May each year after Easter, and I can’t believe we haven’t been to Hawk Haven until this visit! Despite the dreary day, our spirits were lifted by the beautiful atmosphere, delicious wines, and friendly staff. We will be back!“

“Shame that the rating isn't separated from the restaurant, but my girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary and were blown away. We made a reservation in advance and were promptly seated upon arrival.The service was pleasant, and the food was exceptional. The oysters were unfortunately on the smaller side, but the octopus appetizer was prepared well and had great flavor.Both entrees were fantastic. The crab cakes were top notch, and the seared flounder was cooked perfectly.They went above and beyond by giving us this black cherry sorbet in honor of our anniversary, which was so thoughtful and definitely appreciated.Thanks for the lovely dinner and great food!“

“Son and I were in the day before Thanksgiving, even though I think they were supposed to be closed as per their website. We were all but the only ones there, definitely the only tourists. The bartender offered suggestions and was spot on with the beers he offered. I’m not sure if the others there, three people, were just regulars or the owners. We sat over three flights with good conversation between us all. The beers were excellent to put it mildly, in other words, fantastic.Thanks folks for a great experience, we’ll be returning.“

“Made my first trip to the new Slack Tide the other day. I've been a fan of there since they first opened on Route 83. The inside area is lovely and very spacious. The outside area is also large of plenty of parking, but the seating area could use a little bit of beautification. It's great that there's a food chalk that pulled up shortly after opening to serve what others told me were delicious foods.My disappointment with the person who was working behind the counter. She was not pleasant distractible, and didn't know her beers at all. She was not a good representation of the quality and of the beers and the company. And there is no one else but us and one other couple there when we arrived. I understand it that day there were problems with the list of beers and information but there were no hardcopies to read besides the computerized version.My suggestion is to have more detailed descriptions of the beers available for first timers and long timers to review to decide what they would like to drink, and or buy when visiting. The beers were still great but I've had a much better ambience and treatment on all the other times I've been to Slack Tide. I'm sorry to write this but my companion felt sad with our experience.“

“We went to Sunzup Cafe last week. was very impressed. I had the eggs benidict. it was fantastic. the food was great. the workers were great. I will definitely go back. highly recommended. They make Fresh Fruit Pies. I was planning on going back to get one and take it home. but didn't get a chance to go back. They are open 7 am to 1pm. serving Breakfast and Brunch. This is a gem in Wildwood Crest. I give it 10 stars. Everyone should put this on their go to place. you can eat outside or indoors. Get there early“

“Such a beautiful, fun, awesome place that is puppy friendly! The pickles are tooooo die for (I always get them). My first visit here last year, I got the pulled pork - awesome!!! Yesterday, I got the wedge salad - sooooooooo delicious!!!!!!!!!!! Cannot wait to come back again!!!!!“

“My 1st time at Peace Pie. I surely was missing out. Such a cute place and so vibrant and colorful. Love the peace signs in the front. The large flavor sign made it easy to pick a flavor and I love how every pie is $8. You can't beat one set price ! I definitely recommend the salted caramel brownie ice cream sandwich ! It was so sweet and the brownie was so gooey and delicious!“

“Unfortunate to see this shop is temp closed. Went a few months ago and had to drop a review because the ice cream was great. Got the strawberry and coconut. The bold and creamy flavors really stood out. Has a cool old school ice cream shop vibe and service was good. Hope they get back to business soon!“

“Love this restaurant!!! You will not be disappointed by visiting Viggiano’s for dinner. The food is amazing and the prices are more than fair. However, the best part is the people: the servers and staff are warm, kind and friendly. Highly recommend - give them a try!“

“We frequently visit Cape May Winery and love it during the quiet of the off-season as well as its bustling vibe in season. I am glad to say the winery is as wonderful as ever. This winery has the best kitchen of wineries in the area with a good array of foods that are prepared to order and often much tastier than one would expect for a non-restaurant venue. The venue itself is very enjoyable with both indoor and outdoor options. We always opt to sit outside unless the winter winds are prevailing. Wine can be purchased by the glass, flight, bottle or carafe. There is often live music on weekends. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, they want you to have an enjoyable experience. We highly recommend you visit this winery. By the way, I personally like Cape May wines, on the whole, over other wineries. Each local winery has its own strength, but Cape May wines are respectable across the board.“

“First stop for a refreshing smoothie. A little creamy flavor to it. The biggest part to give it 5 stars was the girls behind the counter. The vibes were GREAT. They were singing to music, talking with each other and making the smoothies picture perfect... literally, they took a picture LOVED IT“

“Gorgeous event. Wish I could have my wedding there but I'm absolutely broke. The food is delicious and the produce is fresh. Havent stayed at the rooms so I can't rate it. Probably just as nice. Excited to go back when the back farm is open so I can see the “

“CAPE MAY: Historic Cold Spring Village is an outdoor living history museum which is open seasonally and is pet friendly, but happened to be closed when we visited in late September. The village reopens on June 15, 2024. Luckily on the property, and opened year-round, is Cold Spring Brewery, one of the most unique breweries we have ever been to! Located inside a restored beautiful barn is a tasting room full of so much character, great beer, and a friendly atmosphere. It is NJ's only non-profit brewery that helps support the village to preserve history. The awesome beertender, Bill, made some great tasting suggestions and we had a fun time drinking the Hildreth German Wheat, Cold Spring Red, Cape May Farmhouse, and Pumpkin Festival Ale. There are 15 varieties on tap including non-alcoholic options. Most importantly, leashed dogs are allowed inside and there is also a great outdoor space with firepits and peaceful views. Check their schedule for live music.“

“In addition to the amazing food/drinks and atmosphere, the service and staff are exceptional! We came here to celebrate my wife’s birthday and for being cancer free and the staff bought her flowers to congratulate her! Honestly, they are the sweetest people ever! Can’t wait come back!!“

“My wife and I loved having breakfast at this family owned business. There is a friendly vibe that makes you feel welcome, and that you are appreciated. The staff is kind, and genuinely interested in pleasing the customers. I loved how they interacted with the locals and their regulars, like they were all part of their extended family. But most importantly, the bagel and egg sandwich was the best I’ve ever had- anywhere. Real, fresh eggs, cheese, and bagel. Nothing frozen or processed. I wish that I didn’t live so far away, because I would be there every morning.“

“Coho cafe is the best. Strawberry matcha with oat milk cold foam was amazing, she was beauty she was grace. The matcha is good quality and not pre sweetened. Great service and they put the perfect amount of strawberry. Lots of delish unique drinks. Also the bagels are so fluffy. 12/10“

“It was a busy Saturday night. The food and service were very good. We had the Cacio Pepe Tableside....rich and satisfying, a real delicacy. The owner, Marco, prepared the dish masterfully. We visit often, in and off season and we have always been pleased. The Roman specialties put the restaurant in a different category (on top) of the many others, all the same menu, Italian restaurants. Kudos to the management. The Amatriciana and the Scallops Risotto were fantastic.“

“Pizza was delicious. Staff could’ve been a little friendlier. They weren’t that busy when I walked in for a pie. It was between lunch and dinner and the dinner crowd slowly on the rise. I’m not gonna leave a 4 star review for that. It’s fantastic pizza and perhaps the best of all the Jersey shore or in the conversation for best of the Jersey shore. Was fairly priced for Jersey Shore pizza. It’s good pizza.“

“Me and the wife was at the village, so we decided to eat here on the way out, we were greeted nicely, told that it was a buffet, we were not disappointed, the service was impeccable, the food was off the charts!!! place was clean, the staff very attentive to us, and the price for what you get is unbelievable for the shore, will definitely be back“

“By far the best breakfast we’ve found in Cape May! Our server Jennifer was so friendly and attentive. I got the Oksanas avocado Benedict and my fiancé got the crab Benedict and they were both amazing. Prices were very fair. Will definitely be back! Would like to try their lunch and dinner next :)“

“I've been going to Buddy's all summer, what a fantastic shop!The place is clean, everything is fresh and delicious, the menu is creative, and all your traditional (and some newer) toppings are available.My favorite has been the island acai bowl, it's a little on the sweet side, but of course that's to be expected. The milkshakes are great, the ice cream floats are awesome, and the Italian ices are refreshing on a hot day.“

“What can I say? This place makes great cheesesteaks and fills the void that Bradley's left quite nicely. Minor quibbles - I wish the rolls where just a bit bigger, but that just means next time - I order two! This will be an annual "go to" when visiting Stone Harbor for sure. Quick and friendly service as well. Just go! Do it!“
