50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Penfield

“Party of 4 around noon on a Saturday on a sunny fall day and we could not have been happier. We shared a few different flights of cider - all of which were perfectly flavored - as well as a charcuterie board and a soft pretzel. The weather was nice enough to sit outside on the back patio, which we all loved. We were among the first patrons for the day but it was filling in by the time we left and the atmosphere was just the right amount of busy. I loved our stay here and honestly could have hung out for the whole day. We will be visiting again for sure!“

“Wow! Had an awesome plate of Chicken Riggies! And the staff are all amazing! Well done Team Capone! 🖤“

“Ate here while visiting family in the area. Service was excellent and the food was great. I ordered the Cajun catfish with Harlem potato salad and coleslaw as my choice of sides. A server brought us a plate of BBQ samples to try. Everything was good. On-street parking available plus a nearby parking ramp (for a fee). The place was noisy but had a great vibe.“

“Delicious food with reasonable prices, friendly and knowledgeable staff, beautiful interior design!“

“The best pizza I've ever tasted in Rochester and nearby areas. It's worth every penny. You can feel the good quality of the products.Definitely my new favorite pizza spot. Continue with the tremendous service and your good quality products.“

“Delicious vegan food Can’t wait to go back“

“LOVED THE FOOD!! So good and the atmosphere is amazing! Such great service“

“Best tacos in the city. You'll wait a while for them and you'll smell like them when you leave but it's absolutely worth it. Order ahead if you don't want to wait. Approachable and friendly service. Al Pastor tacos are the best of them all. Parking is not the best but there are spots on the surrounding streets. Will be back again and again.“

“Awesome family owned ice cream shop, in a beautiful walkable neighborhood. Friendly staff, good prices and large portions. Always busy, but service moves quickly. For events they also have a great ice cream truck that can come out offer ice cream on the go.“

“Really enjoyed this spot in town. Simple dishes, but you have a lot of options to
customize your order. The set menu is excellent value with its portions, choice of accompaniment, and a drink. The kimbap kit is a definite hit with the kids!“

“Delicious egg nog ice cream! Also love the raspberry/chocolate tarts and s’mores tart! Great customer service and cozy atmosphere!“

“Not only were the employees very kind, the food itself was wonderful for my first visit. We also got one of the chocolate chip vegan cookies and it is EASILY the best cookie I’ve ever had. I didn’t expect to like it so much (I’m not even vegan! It just looks yummy 🤭). Lovely little place with adorable animal photos throughout also. Employee was kind when I asked for an explanation for them. Loved finding out it’s a community board of loved pets alive and those also lost. They stated the community could bring in a photo of their pet to place on the wall. Great to see that small moment of recognizing the community and being involved to create that memorial & funny moments for the animals! Thanks for a great experience. For sure will be back.“

“10/10! I was blown away. Absolutely hands down one of Rochester’s best restaurants. Friendly and quick staff and the food… 🤤 oh the food. The food was DELICIOUS! Cooked to perfection, and as 2 chefs on a date who are highly critical of others cooking, we were BOTH impressed. Atmosphere was warm and inviting, and presentation was impeccable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I took some pics & vids and have a smaller social media of 22K that i plan on directing to go to this extremely good restaurant if they are in the Rochester area. The cocktails are presented with class and flare as well. If you’re looking for that perfect place for a romantic date night dinner, business meeting or just a foodie… this is a MUST-GO! Thanks to the amazing chef who was so accommodating! We will definitely be back!“

“We had our daughter’s college graduation party at FBC and it was a wonderful experience. Kristen was super easy to work with And and Lisa our bartender could not have been more wonderful. She was constantly checking on guests and no one ever had an empty glass!! Thank you, FBC We will definitely be back again.“

“Best cup of coffee! AND hands down best service i have ever received. I travel for work and eat at establishments multiple times a week. I felt so cared for and it was beautiful to see all the staff working together. Great team and great food“

“Visited tonight for bingo! I loved it there and everyone was so friendly. Drinks were great and I had the best seltzer I’ve ever had. I will for sure be returning! Such a fun and welcoming environment!“

“A++ all around, staff knows what they are doing“

“Had a great experience here while visiting our son.......Great food....great coffee and friendly service!“

“Super cute little spot for a drink! I love that they offer all different kinds of seltzers and beer in the fridges as well. Good selection of on tap beers as well as pour sizes. The outdoor seating is spacious and allows pups! Would come again!“

“This place... is special. I just had a fantastic meal and got a chance to chat with one of the partners and someone else working there. I wish I got their names, because they made me feel like I knew them forever and they were just wonderful. anyone should make it a point to head down there, try whatever they recommend, and have a chat!“

“Great food, service and Friendly.“

“Tall fluffy hair boy makes good coffee and is cute asf, I’m js“

“I’m embarrassed to say this was my husband and mines first time here being that the restaurant has been around for 20 years! Nevertheless, we couldn’t be happier to have stumbled upon such a low key, humble and delicious restaurant. The parking is a bit difficult as the lot is free but very tight. We had dinner here and from the chai tea to the plates we had (stew, salad, plantain fritters, gnocchi and greens), everything was flavourful, perfectly spiced and delicious. The pricing isn’t bad at all either. They prefer cash payment, but they fo take card. Highly recommend for anyone following a vegan/plant-based/vegetarian diet, since the menu is entirely friendly to these diets. We will definitely be back!“

“I have been to La Bola a few times for lunch and love their sandwiches on foccacia. Recently I went to a holiday party there and it was out of this world! What a cool place to have an event! They put out several different spreads to graze on, one was an eggplant and fig foccacia- fantastic. I also really enjoyed the craft cocktail options they had for the event which were winter themed. I will most definitely be back for lunch (or dinner) and I hope to get to go for an event there again.“

“Always delicious and staff very friendly. Can't wait for reopening in Spring!“

“stopped here today to get a shake and some protein bites. the 2 girls working were super attentive, sweet and thoughtful. they both went above and beyond and made my experience amazing. the shakes here are sooooo good.“

“Delicious! Very friendly owners and staff!“

“Every time I go to Clownboy, I wish it was closer to where I work or live, but that's more of a me problem. My most recent visit sealed the deal on why I need to just make the trip periodically.

This is a fully vegan coffee shop. I am not vegan but I am lactose intolerant so it's a treat to order from a menu with reckless abandon and not having to worry whether my coffee would be better with traditional milk. I think Clownboy is on par with many of the local coffee shops in the area quality-wise. I believe they make many (if not all) of their syrups in house, which is greatly enjoyed and appreciated. My personal favorite is the Dale Cooper, a cold brew with fig and walnut bitters. It's not sweet and has a subtle almost smoky finish. It's sophisticated and reminds me of a cocktail in a way. I have dabbled with a few other drinks on the menu and enjoyed them as well, but the Dale Cooper is my jam.

The vibe in the cafe is great. It's fun, welcoming and colorful. Local artists have work displayed for sale. I am more of a grab and go coffee drinker by default, but I could totally see myself chilling here for a while if the mood struck.

There are a few very small things I wish were different (limited seating, street parking), but on a nice day, I don't mind a little walk and a coffee to go.“

“First time there - the food is AMAZING! Some of the best food I’ve ever had. So reminiscent of El Ricon, but yet different. Huge and intriguing menu. The quesadillas are so delicious as are the sopes, & chile rellenos..the flan is creamy & caramel and the chocolate dulce de leche is sinful. If you haven’t been - GO… does not disappoint! I’ll be back for sure.“

“I’ve always had wonderful experiences at this crumbl location, on both sides of the counter! As a die-hard crumbl fan, I like this location the best in Rochester. This week I tried the Dubai chocolate cookie with crispy pistachio, it was simply fantastic. The cookies are always beautiful, and I’ve always had kind and prompt service from staff. Such a wonderful addition to the neighborhood!“

“My husband and I went for the first time and we loved the atmosphere. The food and the beers were amazing, and the rest of the staff was very attentive and friendly.
There was only one small detail: we ordered a cauliflower dish and, while the waitress was bringing it upstairs to our table, I noticed she picked up a piece of cauliflower from the plate with her hand and ate it. I didn’t say anything because it wasn’t a big deal for us, but it is something that should be handled more carefully.
That being said, I am still giving this place 5 stars. One bad action by a single waitress should not be a reason to disqualify the great atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the excellent service provided by the rest of the employees. We would definitely come back.“

“Food was delicious. The food truck was on time and Jon and his son were a delight.“

“Great place to grab a brew. Casual atmosphere. We love hanging out on the patio in the Adirondack chairs and by the fire pits.“

“Favorite local spot. Food is always good, rotating selection of beers on tap, friendly service, never so packed you can't move.“

“From time to time work brings me into Rochester. During a trip my co-worker brought me to Georgie’s for an amazing Cubano w/chicharrones. I enjoyed the food and chats with Georgie. Stand-up guy with an amazing café. So glad to see him and his family putting amazing food out after all of these years. You will not be disappointed!“

“Jess was great adding cinnamon to my wife's apple pie mule when they were out of an ingredient and it was awesome. The food was to die for, it just doesn't get any better. Thank you Jess for making a perfect experience bettrr.“

“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!!“

“Grew up in Rochester and this is was a really good, classic garbage plate. Add a bit more seasoning the mac salad and it would be 10/10“

“We had an amazing experience! Catered our grad party 🎊 So helpful and worked with our budget!“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE! The food is amazing and it’s a great environment to sit and chill. I switch up what I order but last time I got the Sea World roll and I think it was my favorite one I’ve had so far. The quality is amazing. I would have to say one of the best parts about E.suki is Cham. She works the front and she is absolutely amazing and the sweetest person you will ever meet. If you have been here you have met her and you know what I mean. She deserves a raise!“

“Ok so the staff was great and the interior was clean and orderly. The issue is have is solely with the overwhelming flavor of banana in every single smoothie. All 3 of the ones we ordered had the same intensity of banana. None of the smoothies names would indicate a banana forward flavor other than the SB. Disappointing at the price point“

“Absolutely love Mary and her team in Webster. Loved their yogurt and when it was discontinued, Mary suggested the closest option of non-dairy and loved it. She really cares about her customers!“

“Amazing food and even better service. The bar manager was so kind and attentive and made our whole experience that much better. && She makes the BEST mocktails!!! We will definitely be back!“

“celebrated my sisters 30th, the food was incredible. i plan to return asap for valentines day! I highly highly recommend“

“Great Beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“I love half pint ❤️❤️ it’s one of my favorite bars. Very cute, cozy, relaxed, and fun. You can meet lots of people here & they have great bartenders!“

“Relaxing and welcoming. Dog friendly.“

“We recently had a surprise 40th birthday celebration for my daughter. There were 14 guests. We had brunch on a Sunday. Everything was wonderful. The General Manager, Webster was great to work with. He was very professional as well as personable. The staff was amazing. Very polite & we had exceptional service. The food was delicious. Everyone was very pleased with what they had. We would highly recommend the Brown Hound.“

“We went here for a date night and could not have chosen a better place! The food was absolutely amazing and the staff was attentive but not too much so. We will definitely be back!“

“Have debated going for months, the price adds up quickly for multiple people (myself and 3 kids) but finally decided to try it today. Such a cozy little place. Amazing selection of food and drinks, everything is customizable, very friendly employees, quality is absolutely worth the cost. Will definitely be back, probably frequently because I need to try alllll of the things 😁“
