50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Cincinnati

“I stumbled into this place with some work colleagues when we were working in the area. When we walked in the door, I had no idea what kind of food they served. The menu wasn’t particularly large, but it had some really interesting choices. I’m not a big hot dog person, but there was a broad selection of very unique hot dogs. I ended up choosing the Elote grilled cheese, and we also got some duck fries for the table to share. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the grilled cheese sandwich, but it was outstanding! The fries and dipping sauce were also really good!“

“Yay great stuff man enjoyed!“

“My Goodness! The flavors are amazing!! The oxtails are tender and flavorful. The chicken is completely marinated and moist never dry. The steamed fish with peppers and onions is great with just the right amount of heat. If you want to go to Jamaican just order and be transported in you mind! JUST DELICIOUS!!! The only reason no 5 stars is there is always room for improvement. And I can't wait until theres a more upscale dining experience of Yummi Express!!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Mediterranean Hyde Park with Heather Raake Bates , and it was truly an exceptional culinary experience. The meal was outstanding, and the service was superb. I highly recommend visiting this establishment, as it is a hidden gem that warrants a return visit.“

“Owner is super sweet & friendly. She helped me pick out a lychee fruit tea with boba. I love that jasmine tea is the base. It was yummy but very sweet- I got 75% sweet but next time I think I would get 25%. Love supporting small businesses! ❤️“

“Today I traveled from Florida to Cincinnati. My sister and I wanted to get a bite to eat . We didnt want to get fast food that you could get on every corener . While leaving the airport I Googled restaurants close by . There were several to choose from however, we decided on Pig Candy BBQ this restaurant did not disappoint. The food was amazing ( we had the special which was the brisket sandwich) this sandwich was very tender and full of flavor. If you are just traveling through or a local or feel up to a drive this is definitely worth your time .The staff knows what customer service means . All around Great food and service. A MUST STOP....... THANK YOU !!“

“Loved it!!! Food was great but service was even better ! KATELIN, KATELIN, KATELIN!!!! We shall return!“

“One team member said: "Cafe Mochiko is hands down one of the best Japanese bakeries that I have had the honor of trying. Everything is perfectly balanced regardless if you are a sweet or savory kind of person! The best part was my gluten free wife had some incredible options as well. The only thing that I wish is that I knew about them sooner. They are award winning for a reason and I highly recommend everyone to check them out!"“

“it's the bourbon slushies for me!“

“I am in the area often for work and have even delivered here. But I finally got to try it today! This iced mocha is divine. I WILL be back. It’s so cozy inside and the staff was very nice.“

“SUCH a cute gem in madisonville! Great coffee and bakery. They have an outdoor courtyard and patio, and they allow pets! I’ve brought my cat on a harness and leash multiple times and they are so welcoming.“

“Super impressed with Better Blend Anderson. My friends have raved about BB Florence for years. I finally found BB in anderson. My family has ordered over 10 smoothies so far and we've enjoyed all of them. My favorites are LeanGreen and PBOreo. Impressed with the fresh produce used, the size and value. The store is so clean too!! Well done!! You made me a regular in one week.“

“This is a great place with so much history! the waitress, Jasmine, was friendly and did a great job!“

“I was in town and Agave & Rye was recommended to me. I stopped in on 9/10/22 talked with Emma the hostess and explained I was having a few friends to stop by not sure how many between five and ten. She accommodated me at the high rise table back by the windows which was perfect for my nine guest. Sarah was our excellent server, she continually checked in on us even thou I saw her working outside as well. Our drinks were awesome and our food was really good. Next time I am in town I will definitely return here.“

“The pastries were excellent!! They clearly sell out fast - we visited twice and the first day we showed up an hour after opening to a very limited remaining selection. The croissants had excellent flavor and a really nice textural contrast between the exterior and interior. I tried a number of pastries and think a must-try is the artichoke croissant. If I were local I’d be here all the time!“

“Benson Paige is a pup who has lived in a shelter for a whole year. Today is his last day on earth since he is being humanely euthanized tomorrow. A foster took him out and spent some time at Bloc, so benson got to finally cuddle up on a couch. He finally got to eat a whole plate of eggs, a plate of bacon and experience the good life- something he never got to experience before. Stevie the lead barista was incredibly kind and compassionate over the phone with me while I tried to coordinate getting benson a special treat and helped me make sure the foster & benson were taken care of and that he got to experience love. There are no words to describe my gratitude to them and thank them for providing a place for benson to be safe and loved. ❤️❤️❤️ can not recommend them enough for their customer service“

“I was so happy when I saw you all are on Postmates! I haven't had your food since I stopped working upstairs. Everything was delicious! Thank you!“

“I love this place. The atmosphere is beautiful!! Their patio area just amazing!“

“Me and the family stopped in as we havent had Mongolian in a while as they've all closed down around us. 10000/10 would recommend this place. I never knew egg drop soup was a thing, and this restaurant turned me into a fan!! The staff was awsome wish I could have that staff in many other restaurants we go to!! Even our picky kids enjoys the experience and food as well. We will return again soon.“

“Delicious food and friendly service“

“What one of our team members says: "Milkman in OTR is the go-to spot for the best smash burgers in Cincinnati, and it's so much more than a burger joint! They serve alcoholic/non-alcoholic milkshakes and slushies, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, and more! Plus, the cozy retro vibe of the restaurant makes it such a fun spot for date night or hanging with friends. We highly recommend trying their blue raspberry soft serve!"“

“This is the best one. I miss the coffee.“

“The gotta melt was fantastic! Hot cheesy and the spicy mayo was fantastic. The chips as the side was a little disappointing they were fine just a little stingy with them for the price. Ate at the bar and Any was a fantastic server and I was able to sample several beers to make my choice. The beer was outstanding the Chocolate Hazelnut Milk Stout was so good and I am not even a big coffee fan but that beer could change that!“

“Fantastic Veggie Burger! Will definitely come back“

“Love all the sours!!“

“best ice cream around. The blue ice cream and all the Dole Whip flavors are just the best.“

“First visit. Got the special… best French Dip sandwich I’ve had. Baguette was perfection for this dish. Will be back.“

“What a delightful coffee shop! Lots of delicious options. I had the Cinnamon Chip Muffin, Hazelnut coffee and took home an Almond croissant. They have sugar free and gluten free options, too! Scrumptious. Chill and friendly atmosphere with good service. Local art on display and community feel. Easy parking. I highly recommend.“

“We drive almost 3 hours to visit. Bluebird Bakery is one of the main reasons. The pies are to die for. I love the apple and my gf loves the coconut cream. It’s also a great lunch spot. Always a pleasure!!“

“We had dinner with 7 people and everyone enjoyed their meal. The Gnocchi was phenomenal. 10/10 highly recommend!!“

“Great bar to grab a drink. Friendly staff, clean and great vibe“

“Today we picked Fireside cause we wanted to try some Cincinnati pizza! All I can say is what an amazing place. The gentleman working was amazing!! Helped tell us about other places to go, had us try some different draft beers, they made the best pizza’s even my kids loved all the different types and loved drawing plates to put on the wall. If we were to ever come back this way definitely would be coming back! Recommend 100x!!“

“My husband and I visited Sugar and it did not disappoint. we bought a variety of cookies and a brownie. Everything was fresh and baked to perfection. I definitely recommend!“

“Great local low key bar with friendly attentive staff“

“Great atmosphere and the best brisket. The owner, the cook, the bartender and all of the waitstaff are friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!“

“Was in town for the week on business. We all had a blast!!“

“This is the best Brewery in town!!!
I had my 50th birthday celebration here in the private party 🎊 room which was just right for a small crowd. It was intimate, had a grown and sexy atmosphere. Lindsey the event coordinator was pleasant, patient and very helpful with questions regarding any accommodations for me and my guest. I would definitely do business with them again.“

“Always fantastic. Go for the fries, stay for the blue cheese. Oh yeah, they have meats too. I usually get the spicy garlic on the wings, but they were kind enough to give me a cup on the side of the Chernobyl to try. It is very hot, but I would not say super hot. If you regularly eat habanero sauces and want more then this is probably a good heat level for you. It also has a good flavor, it’s not just hot for sake of being hot. Everyone there is super friendly also. Great atmosphere. Cool aesthetic. There is often live music on the weekends, which can be a bit loud and it definitely gets busy. Not a negative, just something to be aware of. Come during off hours if you don’t want that. I wish I could just buy a jug of the blue cheese. Maybe I can, but I haven’t asked.“

“Best Mac and cheese and great beers!“

“The food was delicious. Had my husband hollering, lol scared the ppl at first then the other customers joined in. Service was amazing“

“Favorite bar in the city. Food specials are amazing every time and their cocktails are delicious. Bartenders feel like old friends“

“Wonderful space for a gathering! Just celebrated my birthday here and everyone had a great time! Anthony, one of the owners, was a pleasure to work with and had a fantastic recommendation for a caterer (Kate’s Catering in Bellevue)! Would recommend!“

“Our waitress was Kayla and she was Awesome! Drinks was Great food was delicious. Definitely have to come back“

“Wonder Ribs and sides. Excellent customer service.“

“Great neighborhood bar. Great bartenders, fantastic beer selection, but if you’re looking for food, you’re in the wrong place go across the street or next-door to Mo Chico or Tequila.. This is my favorite neighborhood. Hang out. Parking on the street or across the street in the Paige lot, or behind building on free parking deck.“

“Amazing quality craft beers.Not overly expensive.Great customer service.Anything can be sampled generally.Whiskey Wednesdays are funCalista flockheart is easily my favorite.Family friendly.Clean, and the vibe is calm and welcoming.Not a homey place.More hipster.“

“Tillie’s Lounge is one of our favorite establishments in the city! This bar manages to strike a balance that most can’t... it’s polished and well-decorated enough to avoid the “dive bar” label, yet still feels relaxed, homey, and completely unpretentious.

Drink prices are very reasonable, and the atmosphere invites you to settle in and stay awhile. The bartenders are incredibly warm and kind. Special shoutout to Randy, Vince and Luna for consistently providing excellent service! The establishment is always clean, and the restroom upkeep is especially commendable, considering how tough it can be to maintain single-stall facilities in a busy bar environment.

Tillie’s hosts a variety of fun, themed events that showcase diverse and talented performers. We especially love their brunches and open stage nights—they’re always lively, inclusive, and full of great energy.

There’s a true sense of community and camaraderie among the regulars, yet newcomers are always made to feel welcome. The crowd is friendly but never overbearing, which adds to the overall charm.

Tillie’s is truly a hidden gem. As much as we’d love to keep it to ourselves, it only seems fair to share it with the rest of the city. If you haven’t visited yet, you’re certainly missing out. Stop by and support this lovely little establishment!“

“Loved my experiences here so far. Friendly employees, great coffee and the best chocolate croissant I’ve ever had in the United States. You can tell that their croissants are freshly made once you buy into them. They have great coffee choices that they change up each day. 5 out of 5 stars!“

“My friend Rachel and I stopped in at Northside Yacht Club for dinner. I had the Arby's special, and it was some of the best Arby's themed food I've had since moving away from Georgia. Rachel had the wings and thought they were the best she's ever had in southwestern Ohio, and you know what - I agree. We will definitely be back.“
