50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Reno

“Every time I visit my daughter I always come to Waldens love their food, service and their friendly, cozy environment , highly recommended Thank you“

“Greet you by name, such great staff and the food quality is always on point.“

“Oh! I wish I could upload pictures because trying to describe how amazing their food is doesn't come close. Their food is wonderful and they are very accommodating to people with allergies. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back.“

“My husband and I went to celebrate the Marine Corps 250th birthday at the outback. He received a free special lunch that he just raved about and I also ordered the grilled shrimp with a salad and the French onion soup. All of the food was excellent and the entire staff made us both feel respected and appreciated for my husband's service. Our server did an excellent job of pacing our meal so we always had our food but were never rushed. She was always there with the water and at the same time was quite busy taking care of many other customers. At the end of the meal our server offered to box up our cheesecake dessert to take home, perhaps knowing that we would enjoy it more later, and we did! Everyone there just did an amazing job to provide us with great food and a most enjoyable dining experience. We had not been to to a Outback in many years but we will definitely return to the Reno location soon.“

“Visited after our first convention back in 2018. Played Catan, eat pizza and had some drinks. Great time.“

“The burger and fries were so good! I told both employees you have the best burger by far! My second time trying the cheeseburger and I was so impressed and outdone! I highly recommend and customer service is always on point and very polite!“

“Cute place, wonderful staff, they let us try their house blend delicious! Come and check it out and help small businesses thrive!!“

“Absolutely amazing food and staff!! A must go to!“

“Kenji’s is the only food I get for lunch on my office day. Foods are so good and the owner is so kind. 👍🏼“

“WOW! Great food! Loved their bacon and the Bloody Mary was to die for“

“A great locally owned pizza biz, a very good tasting crust and an overall great pizza. I always seek out those local pizza locations, this is a definite must visit.“

“Amazing food and outstanding service. Love the decor. Best Eggs 🍳 Benedict I have ever had.“

“Every time I come to (or through) Reno, stopping at Taco Shop is a MUST. Every taco here is amazing. The best, of course is the Cheeseburger taco - which I know sounds odd, but until you try it, you have no idea what you're missing. The pastor is a close second, super juicy with just a lil heat, it is perfection. But you won't find a thing on the menu that isn't incredible. I just wish it wasn't 400+ miles from my home, haha.“

“DreamWeaver is amazing! I’ve been going to Angie for years and constantly recommend her to people! This salon rocks!!❤️❤️❤️“

“Great place. Food, drinks, and service outstanding. Great patio.“

“Very delicious ❤️ I really recommend it“

“I cannot recommend this place enough! I’ve been to just about every coffee shop in Reno/sparks and this is the best place. After living in both Italy and Spain throughout college, coffee back home wasn’t quite cutting it. But HCC never misses! Their sugar and spice latte is the BEST! The owners are so friendly and the baristas are excited to see us come in each weekend. I bring all my friends here and they have loved it too. There’s plenty of seating, good music and it’s decorated nicely. Really the best way to sum it up is that the owners know what small business in Reno is all about, no matter how big this city is getting. Genuine, hard working, kind and personable owners. We love HCC!“

“So much fun and the drinks are amazing! I recommend the espresso martini and the mint cookie drink with an extra shot!“

“Walked in on a Saturday morning a few minutes after they opened. Very friendly employee at the front told us she would be right with us as she prepared the previous customer's bagel and cream cheese. I'm not sure why they don't have 2 employees up front to handle orders because this lovely gal was stretched handling people's questions, taking orders, and making coffees. Because of this, it took 15 minutes to get our coffees. I watched my breakfast sandwich sit on a rack in the kitchen for the same amount of time. The scrambled eggs were brown, it was cold and extremely greasy but it tasted alright. The table we sat at was dirty enough that each time we picked up our coffee cups, we had to unstick them from the surface of the table.
Scheduling one more employee for the opening shift would've solved a lot of these issues.“

“the hangover helper is amazing 👏“

“I’m bringing more friends next time I’m in town.“

“The Twisted Fork is not only a restaurant with great food, but also with a very positive and bright personality staff. We loved it there. We highly recommend it! Live music as bonus of the day!“

“This was our 4th time back traveling through Reno. Food is great, service is exceptional and just a great place to enjoy a good meal. Never do you see and unhappy costumer or server.
Recommended are the eggs Benedict, avocado toast and country fried steak.“

“Joey at the Royce is the best bartender in Midtown by far! Burgers 🍔 are unbelievable too.“

“Best meatball sandwich in town. If you reminisce about the old Paolo’s, there’s a lot of old school Italian root flavors with some new additions. I was so happy with the way this place took the old school Paulo’s and made it better.“

“Crush has so many amazing and delicious options for everyone. If the kids want a refresher and you need a post workout protein loaded shake or you want a quick protein tea pick me up in the afternoon with protein balls for a snack Crush is the perfect place. Easy location in south Reno off the freeway it’s a short drive off Veterans, coming from Sparks and Northwest Reno. First stop as you get into town from Carson. Staff is so sweet and accommodating and goes above and beyond every time. Parking is easy and lots of seating inside and out.“

“Great food and friendly service.“

“We were visiting Reno for a week and this became one of our favorite local places. The young women that work there have such kind, positive energy. The tea was outstanding. My son and I stopped by 4 of the 7 days we were in town.“

“Love this place. Delicious food with a kind owner who gave us great service. It’s a small store on a nondescript location but the food blew us away.

The special was roasted lamb shanks. The meat fell off the bone. This was better quality than a fancy restaurant costing multiples more. I highly recommend this nice little spot and look forward to going back soon.“

“We were invited to meet there for drinks and food by friends that live in the Reno/Sparks area. Going into a new place is always a crapshoot. The service was wonderful. Sarah the bartender/waitress was amazing. Food was fabulous. We will be back when we come to visit friends.“

“Holy cannoli! This place is phenomenal. Food was so good it literally made me tear up. I will shout from the roof tops for everyone to come here.“

“Our server Duillio was so attentative, full of enthusiasm and really had a pride in doing a good job. The food was just as amazing, true deli style sandwiches, loads of stacked meats and delicious fresh bread....we'd definitely eat here again!“

“Amazing family owned Restaurant! Food is SO good! Cozy atmosphere and top notch customer service! Please come support this wonderful Restaurant as recently they suffered a huge setback a burglary where they stole everything! They could really use everyone to go have a meal, an appetizer or a drink. They also have yummy lunch specials! We need to come together to help this small local business who really need a hand up. It would be shame if they had to close their doors after more than 20 years!“

“Amazing place, wonderful service and our server kay was really amazing. There cheesy Bruschetta🤤 my terrific turkey pesto 🤤❤️❤️“

“I don't really venture out much anymore but had decided while being in Reno to try this establishment because of the reviews. Let me just say they were not wrong. The wine choices were excellent and the food was just as good especially the crab cakes! Everything was reasonably priced and the atmosphere was very laid back. I met Amanda and Chef David as well as others there who very much welcoming. I'll end by saying if you're looking for a place to go and you're a long way from home, like I was from Ohio, don't hesitate to go here. You'll be glad you did and you'll probably end up going back!“

“A charming little spot in with a cozy, quaint atmosphere that makes it a great place for lunch. The lunch menu is thoughtfully put together with plenty of tasty options, and the service is friendly. Everything we ordered was well-prepared and enjoyable. The only downside was the French roll, which was a bit dry and tasted slightly stale. Overall, it’s a lovely local spot that’s worth visiting, especially if the bread gets a little more attention.“

“The atmosphere with chandeliers, small tables for romantic talks, or the comfy couch settings for larger groups is amazing. I had the Lavender Lemon Drop, which I highly recommend. It was delicious! The drinks we got had tiny, real dried roses, which added such a great touch! I was so impressed with the Tavern!“

“Fresh amazing food!! The poutine fries and shakes are to die for. Don’t get me started about how fresh the burger pattie’s are! Always a must when in the area!“

“New favorite pizza place in South Reno. Italian salad was very fresh and good dressing. The pizza crust was thin the way we like it and the toppings were generous. No excess grease either!“

“Always Great service and the owners are the Best. Great Food and drinks love this place“

“We were visiting from Wisconsin and I had read about Casale's when researching things to see and do in Reno. We were not disappointed! Great food, great service, great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back the next time we travel to the area!“

“Absolutely loved my time at R Town! Such incredible pizza, really awesome owner, and wonderful, friendly staff. I am absolutely bringing friends!“

“Outstanding! Never a better place to eat Sushi. Min the owner Always makes sure the food is fresh daily. Take everyone I know there - would never go anywhere else. The San Francisco & a few others are phenomenal.“

“💜💜💜 great place to eat!!!!“

“Favorite sushi in Reno. Definitely check it out.“

“Wonderful coffee in a serene outdoor space (4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact) I almost missed the Coffeebar Roastery but I’m glad I doubled back to find it. It’s really on the lane with no name that runs between Haskell and S. Virginia – if you’re walking along Haskell there's a space where 1030 should be and Coffeebar is behind that plot. There’s lots of seating outside their red-brick building, including several small tables with lovely mosaic tiles, a large table for 6, and a sofa under a canopy. This seating area, which is well secluded from traffic, combined with Coffeebar’s great music selection make this a very chill spot to forget your Covid woes. And their coffee is great too! The friendly Barista introduced me to a few coffees – both natural processed (the entire coffee cherry is dried before the bean is separated from the pulp) which saves on water and often makes the coffee more fruity and delicious. I decided to risk over-caffeinating and have both of them: the Costa Rica Finca Lucerito as a Gibraltar and the Ethiopian Naia Bombe as a pour-over. This was my first ever Gibraltar – made with Oatly oat milk and a sprinkle of sugar on top – and it was so delicious! The Ethiopian coffee was so lacking in bitterness that I was able to drink it without milk or sugar (which is rare for me). They also do flights – either different beans in the same format (e.g., espresso) or the same beans in multiple formats (Gibraltar and espresso) so it’s a good spot for a coffee education. Prices were reasonable considering the high quality – it was $7 total for the Gibraltar and the pour-over. I’m also giving Coffeebar 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact for the following reasons: • Coffeebar have a direct trade relationship with coffee farmers. The benefits of this vary by coffee farm – it may be a better price for the farmer and/or more sustainable farming practices. • For example, the Costa Rica Finca Lucerito comes through collaboration with Sustainable Management Services (SMS) in Costa Rica. SMS do agricultural research in Central America to increase sustainability (e.g., improved fertilization techniques and coffee varieties that are more resistant to disease). • Having said that, Coffeebar don’t provide a lot of detail, compared to some other roasters (e.g., Temple Coffee in Davis strives for transparency in actual prices paid to farmers). Even on the blog posts dedicated to each coffee variety, there’s often a lack of useful information. For example, their Thai coffee is grown in Doi Inthanon National Park but there’s no discussion on the environmental impact of the farm (e.g., shade cover, which is often lacking in Asian coffee farms). There’s a decent blog post by David Wilson on why Coffeebar wants to move beyond coffee that’s certified (e.g., organic) but in order to do that they need to raise the bar on their communication – seriously! Otherwise, how do we tell them apart from roasters that are only paying lip-service to their social and environmental impact? • I like that they provided glasses and mugs for having coffee in-house when so many have abandoned them (for no good reason) during lockdown. • For disposable cups, Coffeebar are partnering with reCUP which make cups that are designed to be recyclable. The cups are generally not compostable as they still contain a plastic liner (just less plastic than normal). • There’s a 75 cent charge for alternative milk listed on the menu – that’s a fairly steep penalty for choosing plant-based milk. Having said that, I wasn’t charged extra for having Oatly in my Gibraltar :) • Their coffee-bean packages are pretty (and award-winning) but it’s a pity they’re not compostable (e.g., like Counter Culture Coffee) • On their website you can find info on their suppliers for food ingredients (listed under Partners) including some familiar good names like Central Milling organic flour and Petaluma Creamery grass-fed butter.“

“It was a good experience!“

“Music was great, plenty of parking! Friendly staff and other patrons as well (unlike other places I've tried) . Had a handcrafted drink that was very good, prices seem comprable to other similar locations. Plenty of room to dance if you like!“

“If you appreciate a massive selection and a great atmosphere, Beer NV is the place to be. They have about 100 taps on rotation, so whether you’re into a niche local craft or a heavy-hitting import, they’ve got you covered.
​As someone who runs a local business, I really appreciate how well-maintained this spot is. The tap system is clearly kept in top shape—every pour tastes fresh, which is a detail many places overlook. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and can help you navigate the huge menu without breaking a sweat. It’s the perfect spot to kick back after a long day on the job.
​Pro-tip: Since they don't have a kitchen, you can bring in your own food from the nearby restaurants. Grab some local eats, pull up a chair, and enjoy the best tap list in Northern Nevada!
​Would you like me to adjust the tone to be a bit more casual, or perhaps add a mention of a specific type of beer you usually go for?“

“Really cool little bar! The bartender was super friendly. We had ducked in to get out of the million degree heat and have a cold one, happily surprised how super cool and chill it is in there! And their back patio is a vibe with a dj or there and misters. It was just too hot for us to hang out back there on this particular day!! We will definitely go back here when we're in town!!“
