Dog Friendly Restaurants Great Neck Plaza

“We have come to this location many times. Employees here are very kind and try to help even if sometimes they're on the newer side. We were helped today by a girl named Sam who was particularly memorable in providing great service (coming from my partner who is a former Starbucks supervisor)! Drinks are always good and reliable Starbucks quality. They also oblige and correctly fulfill my request for crazy amounts of java chips in my frappachinos because I love the sweet crunchiness. I recommend this location.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian snacks and dairy free substitutesDietary restrictions: Dairy free substitutesParking: Ample parking in plazaKid-friendliness: Plenty of seating for kids“

“We go here regularly & we’re always amazed of how fresh their products are! You could actually taste the freshness of the mango & other flavors! Me & my kids loved to order the mango, pomelo, sago & mango ice cream! One of the best!“

“Great spacious area with calm soothing music, refreshing beverages, and delightful treats. Would 100% recommend. Staff is so friendly. I highly recommend a refresher when coming here. Def a go to spot! Look forward to coming back!!Parking: Plenty of street parking all around the area!“

“Food is delicious and great size portions. The service is excellent. Erdom and Aziz were so kind and helpful. The atmosphere is quiet and lovely. Very clean and bright. Went a week ago and returned a few days later because my 1st experience was so great. Marion“

“This is a cute dog cafe if you want to bring your dog and have some coffee. Two different entrances to buy coffee and to enter with your dog. People there seem friendly and they have paper towels and spray if your dog pees.However, the place is fairly small. I would say having about 10 small dogs would be enough for them to run around? I was there when 2 big poodles, 1 corgi, and 2 other small dogs and my cavapoo who is about 12lbs. I wish it was a bigger space for them to run around ?Nonetheless, it's a cute space for a quick stop to have your dog have some playtime.“

“Great beer selection - loved all the IPAs I tried!! Live in queens but was in the area and wanted to try a new brewery. Owner is very nice and welcoming. The space inside is nice and cozy but they also have outside seating too. I definitely recommend adding this to your next go-to brewery :)“

“The service was top notch! Came on a Saturday for lunch and it was surprisingly not too crowded. All the dishes were super authentic Beijing cuisine. If you get the duck set, they would offer to either deep fry the carcass or make it into a porridge. We picked deep fry and loved it. The desserts also all look cute and interesting while tasting great.We were trying to hit the minimum for special seating, but the portion was very decent, so we took home enough leftovers for a second meal.“

“Great place if you can be bothered to wait for entry. Security and staff were unprofessional. Queues were extremely disorganized and the attendants were young and not trained well for crowd control. I didn’t feel safe (if a fight or emergency broke out) once inside the atmosphere for the first night return was great. Many vendors. I will become a regular this summer if the entry is sorted out.“

“I always order a keema palata because it’s been my favorite dish since visiting the Burmese Bites stall at Queens Night Market in Corona. The way it’s made is fascinating to see. The dough is spread out very thinly and placed on a cooking surface where it is then topped with a minced chicken filling. It’s very similar to mughlai paratha in Bangladeshi cuisine but has a difference touch of flavor. The finished product tastes great with the cucumber yogurt sauce. My only issue I is with the oily texture which can sometimes overpower the flavor and quality of the dish. Other than that the keema palata is a hit and all the items on the menu are halal.“

“Must visit! Want authentic, phenomenal food at reasonable prices? This place it is. Upscale food, fantastic flavors, and great friendly service.I was so impressed, this was my first time and we stumbled upon it. The quality of food for the price was outstanding. It’s an intimate spot that’s decorated beautifully. The family next to us was their third time there in a month.The owner Adan, is very warm and welcoming. He’s been doing this for over a decade and has lived in Greece and was taught 1:1 by grandmother.We had two appetizers, sangria, vegetarian moussaka and chicken gyro sandwich. Of course we went home with baklava. Will be returning.Dietary restrictions: There were vegetarian options.“

“This is my go-to spot for refreshing bubble tea! Their menu offers a wide variety of flavors, and each drink is made with care. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making every visit a delightful experience.Whether you're a bubble tea enthusiast or just looking to try something new, Chai Wala is definitely worth checking out and the prices are not bad at all either! My favorite is the Thai Milk Tea with or without tapioca pearls (picture attached) , truly delicious!“

“Best chicken cutlet in the area. Left a note for an order specification that they were not seeing (that I was not aware about). I left a lower than usual review because it was happening more than once as I am a regular customer. Immediately they were on it. The next time I placed an order I received a phone call from the owner herself to make sure they knew what went wrong and how they could fix it. This business truly values their customers and really go the extra mile. Great food and great people make for a great experience! Highly recommend to all in the bayside area!“

“10/10! Highly recommend. The drinks are reasonably priced. The food is freshly made and delicious. The atmosphere is soothing and welcoming. The seating is limited but sharing a table with a stranger isn’t so bad. All of the patrons were extremely kind. A great work from home (wfh/remote) setting! I’ll be returning soon!“

“Love this space , food and the culture that lives here. I recently needed a last minute catering order for my small business event and they were happy to help us out. The owners are professional & creative dope women. So happy to have this space in #TheBronx!“

“So impressed with the delicious food and beautiful presentation. My husband loved the Veggie Pakoras and the Masala Dosa. The waiter was very friendly and made note to not use ghee on the Coconut Naan and Masala Dosa when my husband told him he is vegan. I loved the Tandoori Chicken, best I've tasted and so tender! We look forward to trying other dishes from their extensive menu on our next visit.“

“Heard about this place many years ago as a kid and always wanted to go. Well we finally went. It was nice to see a line outside because it increased my anticipation. Guy behind counter was nice. Ices were flavorful. For $10 we got sm. Lemon, sm. Blueberry and med. Pistachio. Worth the trip to this famous little spot.“

“Have Been Eating here with my boyfriend and friends for a very long time and we are absolutely obsessed with the cuisine at this restaurant. The chef is so personable and friendly he always greets us. I can say that this is definitely authentic Greek food they have the best lobster bisque soup, baklava ,fried calamari, Bronzino and lamb chops. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious and divine I highly recommend you book a reservation before going because they are always busy. But worth the wait. The entire way t“

“Not count as cheap eat though, but I really like the vibes here, it’s pretty like local Cantonese style. And the food taste pretty good though, I like the cheese pork cutlet and the Hong Kong style milk tea.The staffs are really nice here, tips are not mandatory but I did leave some tips to them.“

“This place is a little diamond. Went for the first time last night and WOW. It took me back to Italy. They don't use the artificial flavors you'll find at all the local icecream shops. It's REALLY pistachio and hazelnut and chocolate. The flavors were absolutely incredible and smooth. Not too sweet. Just perfect across the board. No little bits of ice like you get at other spots where the ice cream has been sitting. It was all fresh. And the owner was a lovely Italian woman who was so happy to share her treats with us. They were very kind and patient as we struggled to pick a flavor (because they all were AMAZING). They also have an assortment of tarts and the icecream cakes that looks like the best ice cream cake you'll ever have. They are absolutely beautiful! If you love proper Italian gelato or ice cream this spot is gonna be your new favorite.“

“I come to this place almost every morning, and it never disappoints. It is family owned, and the workers are all very accommodating and friendly. Food is always very good and they always cook it to wants of the customer. Also make some of the best smoothies I’ve ever had with fresh fruits. Highly recommend this place“

“I tried the place for the 1st time around 1 week ago. I've been back again I really enjoyed the chicken wings and my smashed bacon cheeseburger I tried a beer called a Cloud in the Sky it was awesome I will definitely be eating there again“

“Valentina’s is a hidden gem! I almost didn’t write this review so I can keep it secret…but I decided to share so you can enjoy it too.It’s just the best Italian food for miles around. Everything is made to order and is excellent. The Chicken Martini is a must try, and don’t miss the Veal Parm. Prices are very reasonable and the owner and staff are so friendly and welcoming. You will not be disappointed!!“

“We had my mothers' 90th birthday last Saturday and we are very pleased with the entire experience. Robbie was a pleasure to work with, he answered all our questions and was helpful with the food choices and the entire setup. Ignacio and Rueben provided outstanding service the day of the party, and dealt with late comers and we even went over the time frame a little bit. Now to the food, wow wow wow! Everything was delicious. The crowds favorite, Ravioli's and Pollo Zingarella. Highly recommend it all! Thank you Piccolo's“

“I went to the Sweet Sap today with my mom. We were having a lunch for her birthday. The restaurant’s beautiful, spacious, and clean. My mom drank a Sprite. She ate Chicken Katsu with Rice. Whereas I drank a lemonade and ate a Fried Shrimp Burger. Overall, I paid under $60 (including a $10 tip)!Definitely coming back one day.“

“First time here with my family! Lovely place with all the sweets! Owner very friendly! We got two cupcakes, a chocolate brownie and a coconut ube cookie! Cookie not too sweet, cupcakes are delicious and the chocolate brownie definitely my favorite ^u^ Will definitely go back and try the rest of the sweets that they have!“

“If you’re trying out a new Korean-Chinese restaurant then all that matters is the Jjajangmyun and jjambbong. Tried both and they were delicious! Classic taste and healthy serving. My only critique is the potatoes in the jjajang sauce. Not a big fan. Other than that looking forward to coming back.“

“Came on Good Friday for lunch. There was a bit of a wait and everyone needs to be check-in on a wait-list via a tablet by the entrance. I believe you can also check-in on Yelp. The place is bright and clean. They offer 2 levels of AYCE buffet. There is a basic option for $19.99 and a premium option with all the beef and seafood for about $40. You can also add on premium dish a-la-carte. Made a bad decision and got the 2 flavor soup base, the pot is very small and with a divider inside the pot, which restrain amount of food you can put in. The food bar is a bit tight to move around and you may get stuck if there is a slow mover... ordered a rib eye as add on, the slides are paper thin and you can see through them. Our waiter refill our broth frequently without been asking, which is nice. The refilling of food can be a bit slow, there are empty dishes at the food bar.“

“Passed by on one of my errands! Stopped by to try this new place out with my mom.--Special Promo Going On 3/04/24--Follow them on social and receive a free upgrade to a large drinkFollow and share on social media and get a free drink or Taiwanese sausage snack--Review--Only one employee was manning the shop~ When we came through on a Monday afternoon. We ordered the Oolong milk tea w/ Herbal Jelly. My mom ordered the Bubble Milk. Both at 30% sugar and no ice.Oolong tea with herbal jelly was perfect. Tasted exactly at 30% sweetness. The jelly was a little more viscous than what I'm used to but thats not a criticism or anything just an observation.Bubble milk tea: The base tea I think is earl grey - it was just slightly sweeter than the Oolong but still ok. Too sweet for my mom but ok for me so we switched drinks.TLDR:- Decent tea and not overly sweet at 30% sugar and no ice- Clean and spacious seating area- Has Wifi and clean bathrooms- Clear listed menu items and highlighting recommend drinks on the adjacent wall- Didn't try any of the food items but will be back for them, especially the snow shaved ice!- Cute logo <3“

“I love this place. They have won awards for their avocado toast and when you try it you’ll see why. Everything tastes homemade and made with love. I love their espresso too. 3 stars for service because I had an incident where I was given non gluten free bread once and also cheese when I asked for none as I have both food intolerances which cause massive widespread inflammation for me that can last weeks into months. The person I spoke dealt with did not apologize/seemed annnoyed and it happened both times with her. However, it’s such a rare find to find a place with such good food and GF options for me (coming from the BX) that I wound up going back and it hasn’t happened since. Everyone there knows me now and automatically knows what I order but I just think people need to take food allergies and concerns much more seriously than they do. The atmosphere is cute and it’s a nice place to read a book or work on your laptop.Dietary restrictions: If you have food allergies, mention it 3 times. Triple confirm they understand.“

“Stopped in for a quick takeout order on a weeknight, the staff were very attentive and provided great service.Food:- Kai burger: SO good!! Highly recommend. Really good flavor and ratio of meat and cheese and toppings. Best part of the meal.- onion rings: these were okay, but I think it was due to the delay in getting home and eating them. The sauce was good and and breading indicated they’d be good fresh. Could benefit from having more in the order.- soup dumplings: very tasty, still warm when I got home with them. Had a lot of meat packed in.Had a little mishap with the shrimp dumplings, but the staff was proactive and made the situation right. Food was out quick. Give this place a try if you’ve got a hankering for some comfort food.“

“El Toque Restaurant is a super hygienic place, its spaces are all organized, the bathroom is super clean and odor-free. The services are super friendly, respectful and kindness above all with VIP attention, they make you feel like family. Their empanadas and pastries are the best in the entire Westchester area, super delicious, with good seasoning in their fillings, they are super tasty. I recommend the place so don't miss visiting the place.??“

“Clippers coffee is a delight! A true gem of the Bronx and of City Island. All the staff there are super friendly, and their menu items are wonderful! If you go try their jumbo chocolate chip cookie, there are very few cookies that can beat it!“

“A proper authentic old school deli with real genuine kind owners who are passionate and care about their products and service. The food matches its authenticity. (They use regionally sourced Dietz and Watson and even have grass fed burgers) Other delis, restaurants, or any other type of business for that matter, take note - this is how it's done. One of NYC's best kept secrets and kind of want to keep it that way, but that would be selfish of me not to spread the word of just how good it is. As a NYC native, I can tell you I've tried my fair share of Deli's and finding the best BEC (bacon, egg, and cheese) around, and this one by far tops the list in any category.“

“Love going to Bigelows i’m sitting at the bar the experience is great watching the staff freshly batter seafood and putting it right in the fryer right in front of you. The New England clam chowder is like no other. It is very delicious and creamy the perfect consistency for clam chowder. Definitely the best around the Ipswich fried clams are my go to favorite. They are fried to perfection and very clean oil which makes the food very good because the oil is always clean that they cook in. The people that work at Bigelow’s are great. Always welcoming and fun to hang out with by the bar while you eat your delicious seafood, no matter what you get I highly recommend coming here if you are in the area and you love seafood, you will not get any fresher!! Always leave happy and full from delicious FRESH seafood!!! 10/10“

“It’s a small cramped hole in the wall place. But it churns out great rice rolls at affordable prices. I got the shrimp rice roll with scallions and an egg. There’s a half hour wait so make sure you have plenty of time or you can do what I did and order go get other food and come back to pick up your meal. The skin of the rice roll is soft and smooth. The egg and scallions add texture and the shrimp was cooked just right.“

“Angelica is very sweet and helpful I didn’t know anything about Indian food she helped me order my meal. Goat Curry and Butter Chicken was sooo good! Highly recommend this very clean and delicious restaurant!! I will definitely be back soon!“

“Best mall on the island, in my opinion. Great tech stores and kids stores. Even good clothing stores coming from someone who dispises clothing shopping. The only issue is that it is so big you can get lost. There are maps all over the mall, but if you can't read them, bring someone with you who can. There used to be paper maps as well that you could take with you around the mall, but they stopped making them. You can get a digital version on your phone, though.“

“Very much a hidden gem. The place is cozy with a warm atmosphere and very cool. There are the big beer tanks visible right in the space. There are so many interesting beer and drink choices and a small menu with a few items like a bar pizza and empanadas. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. There is a tent out back with heaters, tables and benches for extra space. The parking is tight but spots available. Cute hangout and definitely great if you're into beer! ? ? ?“

“Wonderful bagels, we enjoyed with the family some incredible bagels with salmon, onion, the delicious sauce and avocado, phew definitely exceeded our expectations, we discovered it recently and we loved it, very good service.Vegetarian options: Salads and bagels“

“Bean House is easily one of the best cafes in this area. I hope they expand because whenever I am here, it’s always packed! The coffee is delicious, I think I’ve tried 6 different variations now and they’re all amazing. The ambiance is cozy and I love their baked goods in the front. Smoothies are also really good and their honey toast is a nice treat. Highly recommend“

“Since moving to the area, Nana's is one place that is consistently fantastic and everyone I bring here raves about it. Simple, yes, but freshly made, flavorful, and healthy isn't always easy to find when you're trying to grab a quick bite.I think the way the menu is laid out is a bit confusing if you've never been. Once you understand how to navigate that, it's smooth sailing.My regular order is the Mu'shwarma, pita or platter depending on how I feel that day. I am pescatarian and love that they don't use artificial fake meat, but this dish is just really well flavored mushrooms. Their platters are great because you can choose so many sides, and they REALLY stuff their pitas, so I think either one works, depending on what mood I'm in. If you get the platter, you can choose pita or pita chips on the side. Their pita chips are fresh and the best I've ever tasted. I'm not usually a drink gal, but I love their Limonana so I do order it quite frequently. Very refreshing and made with all fresh ingredients. Not overly sugary or anything. I've tried a bunch of their salads/salatim and they are all amazing, but the Babaganoush is a MUST. I'm not always a fan of the dish because of the texture but theirs is the best I've ever had. So flavorful and fantastic. Any of the spicy salads (spicy tomato) are actually quite spicy, so be aware. There isn't so much of an ambiance here as there's 1-2 tight tables and it's definitely more of a to go place, although I have dined in and eaten outside when weather permits. There is no table service. The prices are definitely on the higher side, but I can often stretch one of their meals to 2 and the ingredients are so fresh and so delicious, so it is worth the price. Don't expect any $7 street cart pitas here though! I've taken my parents and several friends and everyone that has been has only raved about how fresh and delicious it is, so it's a must go to and a neighborhood staple for me.“

“Absolutely fantastic! What a gem!We were in town for a very quick visit and stumbled across this amazing restaurant!We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and it was simply delicious. Tender, cooked perfectly, and very tasty.As a main dish, I ordered the special seafood pasta fra diavolo. It was amazing. My wife ordered the branzino special and that too was divine.We closed out with a tiramisu that was one of the best we ever had.Added bonus, Tuesday is 40% off wine, so we had a great bottle for a super deal!Lastly, Cristian, our server was top notch!We will highly recommend this incredible restaurant with great ambiance and over the top food!“

“I enjoyed my visit today. I ordered the lunch special (meat, side, cornbread) and chose brisket and sweet potato. The brisket had great flavor, though next time I'll ask for leaner pieces as mine was fatty. Sweet potatoes were just right, not too sweet. Cornbread just ok. Things to know: 1. This place is tiny. There are just 4 bar seats and that's it. 2. Beverage options limited. Coke, sprite, water. 3. The service is amazingly friendly and personable. I didn't get the woman's name behind the counter but I'd go back there just to hang out with her. And it wasn't just me, she was that way with every customer including a 4 year old. You don't need to travel to come here but it's a good stop if you are nearby. Just 2 blocks off the Locust Valley train station.“

“Unique, I felt in a small forest ?. How can they keep plants so beautiful? I don't know how they do it and it's wonderful, the food is delicious, the girl who serves in the house lacks a little warmth but everything else is perfect.“

“Roast & Co is a welcoming local cafe for delicious food and drinks. It is a great place to read a book, do some work, meet with friends, or to grab a quick coffee before hopping on the LIRR. I especially love the smoothie bowl for breakfast!“

“I miss you guys so much!!!!! Since I lost my job due to covid/getting a brain tumor I can't afford you guys anymore, nor get to you..... every one that works there was always nice to me,and held the door open for me because I was a nanny and always had a stroller lol. I miss the Greek restaurant. I miss the pizza place, and the bakery,the pharmacy....rvc people are just real. I miss it. Kookaburra made me feel like family so thank you guys. And I remember a man who would sit outside every am Joe I hope he is well.“

“Made to order and all the ingredients used are fresh. Reminds me of eating delicious açaí bowls at grappling competitions. Highly recommend if folks are also looking for other healthy bowl alternatives.Staff is very friendly as well, clean store and calm vibes ?“

“I saw a commercial for C restaurant and the food looked really good so my friend and I went to check it out. It is super cute inside - great atmosphere and details. The focaccia bread they bring is so soft and the olive oil is extra tasty. We had the frito appetizer, pappardelle, gnocchi special, and chocolate mousse cake. Everything was delicious! I plan on bringing my mom there next time she visits, but I might go back sooner to try some of the other dishes too.“

“What a fun and tasty summertime treat! If you "but it's just a snow cone" you are mistaken this is much softer, fluffier and definitely a Snoball! This is the kind if treat once took my first spoonful I was already plotting when I could Come to eat it again and why did I only get a regular sized when I should have gone BIGGER. There are over 100 flavors to pick from and additives and more so truly you can go wild. I really enjoyed coconuts tutti fruti, tigers blood so far. I wish I had one sooner. Lots of young people working behind the counter but they had a smile on their faces 5/5 stars!“

“Glad there's another boba spot in the mix of Rego Park. I can tell they do a better job of providing quality tea than other boba businesses here. I ordered the Jasmin green milk tea and it wasn't watered down. I was able to taste the flavor and their tapioca pearls were perfect“
