50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Highland

“Working with Bad Seed Cider for our wedding was hands-down the best decision we made. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and our guests haven’t stopped raving about how beautiful the spot is.

s a pretty laidback couple, we were so grateful for how attentive and accommodating the team was. They completely took the stress out of the day, making sure we had absolutely everything we needed while keeping us on track so we didn’t forget a single detail. They truly went above and beyond for us.

And of course, we have to mention the drinks… they were absolutely INCREDIBLE! If you want a gorgeous venue with an amazing team and fantastic drinks, look no further. We couldn't have asked for a better experience“

“Decided to go for dinner, simply because we never have a bad experience here, we were going for burgers, but both got ribeyes, and wings as an appetizer, wings were cooked to perfection, the ribeye was amazing, came with perfect mashed, and broccoli,carrots and green beans, that were so delicious, and to be able to outside and look at gunks while the leaves are changing, priceless, so happy to have such an amazing restraunt in my neighborhood,“

“There is no way we couldn't give this restaurant a 5 star review! The food fresh and delicious, the staff caring and attentative the atmosphere beautiful worth every dime. Go treat yourself you won't regret it and you will be back again I know we will !“

“I have been meaning to go to this place for like a year now I would drive past all the time but today was the day lol I took my son out for dinner and i finally said let’s go try out this restaurant I’ve been meaning to go to. I can’t stress enough how amazing the food and staff are! Big thank you to Angel everything I ordered was a recommendation from her from the food I ordered to the cocktail thank you🙏🫶🏽 My New Favorite place 🤩“

“Great place to get quality teas & drinks. Always ask what they recommend - they won’t steer you wrong. And a great way to try new things!“

“Overall amazing food and staff“

“We loveeee their sausage rolls. Great spot.“

“This beer is a must have if you are remotely close. Most unique but absolutely the most delicious beer I’ve ever tasted. Awesome location, dog friendly, and great atmosphere. Pretty sure the owner was pouring beers when we were there, and that’s awesome! So interesting hearing about the farm. If you like beer or wine there’s something here you’ll love.“

“Okay... first of all - I ordered for take-out and my husband is lucky this food even made it home. The car smelled so good, I wanted to pull over to eat it right there. Both the chowder and stuffed clams had big, tasty pieces of clam. I got the Mac & Cheese with garlic shrimp - there were no less than 20 pieces of roasted cloves which were sweet and delicious. The shrimp was completely deveined and tender. My husband thought the stuffed clams were a little salty, I thought they were perfect, so do what you want with that. I am verily looking forward to my next visit.“

“This spot is incredible. The chocolates are mind-blowingly good and the coffee and other beverages are amazing. Original, creative, ethically sourced, and cosy.“

“I’ve been here several times and the staff is always friendly and fast. When I come in on the weekends Aiden is always friendly and a great worker. The restaurant is clean, and my sandwiches are made exactly how I order them. Great customer service and a good experience every time“

“Amazing place to relaxing with a good wine!“

“The place met all the "barrs" in the restaurant business. Fun atmosphere, knowledge, kind and friendly staff and most of all, the food and portion sizes. 100% Recommend“

“Obercreek Brewing Company!

Isthere honestly anything this place can’t do? Every time I come here, I leave more impressed than the last.

I already shop weekly at their local farm stand, which is phenomenal on its own and something I highly recommend to anyone in the Hudson Valley, but the brewery experience itself is on another level. The current atmosphere is already beautiful, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed, and hearing about the new location being built on the farm makes it even more exciting. From what I’ve seen and heard, it looks elegant, ambitious, and truly impressive while still keeping that authentic Hudson Valley charm.

The beer selection is outstanding with constantly rotating options that are always fresh, creative, and perfectly brewed. Whether you’re deep into craft beer or just looking for something enjoyable in a great setting, Obercreek delivers every single time. The indoor and outdoor seating both have amazing appeal, and when there’s live music, the whole place comes alive in such a fun and relaxing way.

And then there’s NightShed Pizza. Cameron and the team are absolutely crushing it. The pizzas are made with incredibly fresh, high-quality ingredients that genuinely elevate every bite. You can taste the care and craftsmanship behind the food. One piece of advice, order quickly because it sells out fast for a reason. The demand speaks for itself.

This place is more than just a brewery, oh no no, it’s a full Hudson Valley experience. Whether you live locally or you’re visiting the area and want somewhere that captures the beauty, flavor, and community feel of the region, Obercreek is absolutely worth the trip. It’s also easy to see why this would be an incredible venue for weddings, gatherings, and special events. Truly one of the gems of the Hudson Valley.“

“Employees are Always the best!! Very personal and professional always with a smile!! I love their coffee it truly is the best!! I’m sad to be moving in the new year as they won’t be anywhere close.. hopefully they see this review and open one in Catskill or close to!! I will be making trips to Hyde park just for my favorite coffee when I can ❤️“

“Such an amazing afternoon at Minards with friends! We came with our 7 (combined) kids - who are 3-14 years old- And seriously, every single one of the kids had a blast, as did the parents! It’s a great set up for your kids to play while the grownups hang out nearby hand can enjoy a beverage or two. Angie and Jason were WONDERFUL hosts - which is kind of wild because my assumption is that the owners would generally oversee from some sort of ivory tower, but nope! They are right there “in it” with all the customers visiting for the day. I won’t lie- I love it and they are awesome people. My 7 year old is currently directing me to give them a 10 star review and is NOT happy that 5 is the max amount allowed. The parking lot was full of lots of jersey and Pennsylvania plates and that’s awesome- but more locals need to come spend a day here because it was an awesome experience for all! Also worth noting- I know places like this can be incredibly overwhelming for kids who may be neurodiverse and not thrilled with sensory overload. If you do come and try a day hanging out here- look for Angie (Incredibly friendly, very pretty blonde - can’t miss her!) and introduce her to your little one. Her whole background is in taking care of kiddos just like yours and she’s like a sorcerer with making them feel comfortable and not overwhelmed!

“The best hummus I’ve ever had in my life. The pomegranate iced tea is incredible. The quality is extremely high in all of the food. The pita is soft and pillowy. The prices are high for the portion, but I wouldn’t want it to be cheaper for lower quality. We will be back!“

“Fun atmosphere, great food and service !!“

“Great wine bar with great Sangria! Perfect place to relax after a morning of hiking or running!!!!“

“kay but seriously… yum yum 😭🍪 I LOVE Crumbl. The cookies are always so soft and warm, and the flavors change every week which makes it even more fun. Every time I go, I end up finding a new favorite. Definitely worth it if you love sweet treats!“

“Beautiful grounds, food and wine were amazing. Highly recommend, best of all, the staff were all super nice. Can’t wait to go back.“

“We have gone to Nanas before for ice cream, always had a great experience with the staff and food. We even use them as a go to for kids gifts- they feel so cool getting their own 10$ gift certificates to spend 🫢😊We have used another ice cream truck the last few years for my daughters party in the summer, and this year they are no longer available. I saw Nanas post they had gotten an ice cream truck and it was even better than the other one! They have soft serve which was great for adults , tons of novelty ice creams for the kiddos and was much more affordable than the other company. We can’t say enough how great they were! Thanks again“

“Loved the noodle bowl and the relaxed atmosphere, will be back!!!!!!“

“Pizza was delish! Recommend.“

“Comfortable atmosphere, attentive staff and great drinks!!“

“I’m from Long Island and when we moved up here there we tried other bagel places. Easdale Avenue bagels top them all. Best bagel in town.“

“We had a delightful Cajun inspired meal that included blacked catfish, fried chicken, and a burger. The kids really liked the Mac-n-Cheese, and we also had Gumbo Fries and Alligator bites.

Staff was very helpful, patient, and adaptable to our needs.

Pricing was appropriate for the quality of the food and service.

We had a good time and would recommend this place for something a little unique.“

“This place is amazing I only go a little because this is a treat for me but I do have to say the best boba around hands down. And to make it better the staff is so friendly. Always so welcoming.thank you“

“Such a refreshing atmosphere, either inside or the lovely outdoor area! The staff are sooo friendly and welcoming! The food is fresh and delicious! We’ve been there about 6 times and always wonderful! Love the coffee choices and drinks are great! Love the idea of breakfast anytime! Perfect!“

“The owners, James and Michelle, and staff are always welcoming. Great selection of coffee and tea. They'll grind your selection of beans or take em home whole. James' paninis just great. Starbucks has nothing on Mudd except hype. You want good ☕️ and reasonably priced selection of quality products when you need a break Mudd Puddle is worth a drop in.“

“Had my wedding here and Frank and the staff were amazing and the food was great!“

“We were staying in the hotel next door and stopped by for lunch on one of the last days. The food was GOOD and the portions were generous. Even the service was better than expected. Wish we had stopped by sooner and multiple times during our visit.“

“Went above and beyond when my husband ordered me a gluten free lettuce wrapped burger. Asked him if it was a sensitivity or allergy, when he replied allergy they stopped production of all other burgers to make mine so it would have no contact trace. Not to mention their fries are always gluten free. So very grateful to be able to get safe food for my celiac disease while getting take out!“

“ITS ALL JUST SO AMAZING! THEY GIVE OUT SUCH BIG SIZES OF ICE CREAM FOR SUCH AND AFFORDABLE PRICE!“

“My daughter love this place and she is 8. What the hell so do we!“

“I grew up in NYC and during my teenage years in the 60's discovered middle eastern cuisine. It was the choice for "fast & delicious meals" Now my discovery in Rosendale has presented me the delicious opportunity to learn the exceptional cuisine offered at The Garden House. everything I've eaten is mouth watering wonderful. The community of welcomeness is abundant each time you visit. Enjoy a 5 star meal.“

“I went on 10/22/2024 to the location on Albany Street in Poughkeepsie N.Y. Today is my mom Birthday we had a party of seven. When we arrived we were told they don't have big table for our size party. They managed to add a table. The food was a 1.5 Everyone fries were over cooked the chicken was dry not a bit of Honey was tasted on the sandwiches. Tap water warm little to barely no ice. It took over 30 minutes to receive our meals no bread sticks salad nothing offered while we waited. It was a HORRIBLE DINNER. We asked if they have any Bday specials were told No. Do you sing Happy Birthday No. Mind you we were told by the person that recommended the place said they do sing Happy Birthday. I'm starting to feel it was a racial situation. Yet we still left tips. The Family had to go find Food upon leaving. The server was great it was her second day. I wish her well“

“Great place to spend an afternoon with friends and pups! We thought the pizza was delicious and loved having the flights of cider. There’s a nice shaded pavilion where the dogs can hang too. Also a beautiful pond where we saw geese and a turtle! Would definitely recommend this place!“
