50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Independence

“Chicken and shrimp were over cooked and dry. Also they charge almost 5.00 extra to use a credit card and a 18 tip is added to the end of the bill. They don't tell you so watch out you don't double tip.“

“Wonderful food! Friendly atmosphere“

“I've only been there twice, but both times the staff was awesome and the food was amazing!!“

“Atmosphere is nostalgic for anyone who had shopped at Cowell & Hubbard jewelers. Menu has a nice variety of vegetarian options. We started with tea, tastefully served & truly delicious. We had butternut squash soup which was superb in and of itself...would've been even better if served with a hearty, ancient grain bread fitting for the menu. We followed with Bulgar salad, Curried beans, Fingerling potatoes & Mushroom tart....all very good. The bread delivered immediately to the table, along with dipping oil was not good...we asked it be taken away. Overly spiced/buttered, not appetizing. We asked for crackers or something plain, but our server said no other options. Staff was young & inexperienced, but willing to learn. Twice one of our party was inaccurately addressed as "sir", when indeed she is female. She was stopped and redirected as she entered the women's restroom. Overall it was a nice experience and we will return again.“

“This place was amazing such great food and especially drinks! Some of the best beers and cocktails! We had Bronwynn our server was absolutely amazing it was very busy but she still attended to all the tables in a timely manner and was absolutely hustling to make sure we had everything we need. Will most definitely be back!“

“First time eating there and I was impressed and pleased with the entire experience. The food was great and the staff was outstanding! We will be back.“

“I was happily surprised to find the King Tut, Egyptian Street Food truck at my niece’s graduation party! The owners were helpful in explaining the menu and delightful to chat with. The food is delicious, full of flavor and seasoned perfectly. Even some of my family members, who are not that adventurous with food, raved about the various selections they tried!“

“Amazing food!! Super nice staff!“

“We love Nate’s! We haven’t tried too many items yet because we just love the gyros and spinach pies! And the baklava is so fresh!😋“

“Delicious food and cocktails Festive decorations“

“This place is a vibe! Great atmosphere, great service (our server was Laura) and the food was amazing. Everything was very good. We had the Churrasco, Steak and Chicken Skewers, and Reina Pepiada. The chimichurri was excellent. The chefs Carlos and Andres crushed this meal. We'll definitely be back!“

“Black walnut is my favorite“

“I love Germany“

“We have been coming to Hot Grillz Diner since we saw it on New Day Cleveland (way before the pandemic). Karen and crew are awesome and the food is fabulous. No matter what you decide to order I promise that you won't be disappointed. We have brought friends here who are now regular customers. Come in once and you will be back!“

“Wonderful food very tasty.“

“This place is a 10 out 10+I would highly recommend this place !! The food is fresh , delicious and not to mention the staff and owner are all so friendly!! Definitely will be going back !!“

“Fantastic Soba noodles (cold dish)! Great staff (Thank you, Shannon),very nice atmosphere. A wonderful night out with the Mrs. was made extra special. Can’t wait to go back.“

“What a treat! Anytime I have been to Pier W I feel spoiled. Took my mom and her 3 friends for her 89th Birthday and they all loved it!! We will definitely be back for her 90th! Thank you.“

“4 of us visited Bruno’s Sunday for dinner with a 6:45 reservation. Greeted immediately upon walking in. Bar area seats abt 10-15 and reservations can be made for bar seating as well! Within a minute of being seated our server had our drink order and returned with them. Appetizers ordered: Hot sausage stuffed peppers These weee absolutely awesome. Served with peppers and onions with a light marinara. Menu says “spicy”; they are medium hot but amazing flavor Artichoke The couple with us ordered these ?breadcrumb” battered and fried portion. Also sauced in hous made marinara. Entrees ordered: chicken parm, spaghetti marinara, scallops and pasta. All were tremendous! Our server Martha was spot on with everything, meal was very nicely paced. I spoke with the gentleman in charge to compliment him on his food and staff. This was our first visit but definitely not our last! This is a definite 10/10.“

“Tried Barabicu for the first time yesterday. Got ribs, potato salad, mac and cheese, and baked beans so I could sample all my favs. The food is perfectly seasoned, and you cannot beat $12 for a half rack of ribs! The mac was elite. New favorite bbq spot.“

“The whole experience was personalized to what we were there to celebrate! Fabulous food and wait staff! Made our night even more special!“

“Just love this place. Everything they make is fresh and tasty. Freshly made pita separates this place from others. Every single component they have is of high quality which isn’t very common. It’s like Mediterranean chipotle but way better when it comes to the quality of ingredients and care they put into everything they make. Highly recommended“

“We ordered for our company Christmas lunch. All the employees raved on how good everything was. The owner and his employees were a pleasure to work with. The food was delivered on time and hot. Thank you Bronco's Western Ribs. I am sure we will be ordering again in the future.“

“Fantastic food and service!“

“We went to some kind of secret seller.\nIn the basement , and it was so christmassy , spirits , great decorations , and I like how they honored all their staff by putting their names up with christmas decorations.
Erica was our server and I kept watching her was so impressed with ease.She was able to handle by herself.Fifty people and never showed any fear and was great and fast service.
I also enjoy talking to other personnel that worked at different sections of the brewery and not even at that location. They still came to support the christmas get together.“

“My husband and daughter visited for the 1st time yesterday and I benefited with a box of baked good they brought back! The best cookies and brownies we have gotten yet! I cannot wait to return and try a sandwich! My husband said the sandwiches looked amazing!!!“

“Many fun games& the good was delicious“

“The coffee and service were great, but unfortunately the baked goods were not. My son and I each got a lemon poppyseed scone, and they had a strange taste. They didn't really taste like lemon at all, and I couldn't eat it. We took our order to go or I would have said something. I would go back for the coffee and atmosphere.“

“Mitchell’s Ice Cream is always a treat, and their vegan options are seriously impressive. The vegan Buckeye is rich and creamy with the perfect mix of chocolate and peanut butter—so good you’d never guess it’s dairy-free. The Cookies and Creme is a classic done right, with big chunks of cookie in every bite. And the Caramel Fudge Brownie is pure indulgence: sweet, fudgy, and absolutely delicious.

Whether you’re vegan or not, these flavors are worth the trip. Mitchell’s continues to deliver quality, creativity, and amazing taste. Highly recommend!“

“Please come here. So yummy and the workers are incredible <3“

“Great food,friendly waitress,great service ,differently come back“

“Jessica was the best and we will come back for her“

“📍 Deanatella’s Italian Deli – Valley View, OH 🧀🍕🥖 A true hidden gem that screams classic Italian deli the second you walk in. If you can name the deli meat, trust us—they’ve got it. Shelves packed, fridges loaded, and a full lineup of Coke products to wash it all down. We stop here 2–3 times a month, and for good reason. The food never misses. Here's what we had today: 🍕 Pepperoni Pizza – 8.1/10 Hot, fresh, and loaded with flavor. A crustless, center-cut slice of cheesy joy. No edge, no problem—it hits hard where it counts. 🍕 Sausage Pizza – 8.4/10 Same amazing base, but the sausage takes it up a notch. Big, juicy chunks of sausage packed with flavor. Definitely the MVP slice today. 🌶️ Mild Pepper Sub – 9.2/10 This one’s my go-to. Not super spicy, but absolutely loaded with flavor. The combo of peppers, melty cheese, and rich sauce makes for one giant, unforgettable sandwich. Perfect from the first bite to the last. The staff? Always friendly. The vibes? All Italian. If you’re anywhere near Cleveland, do yourself a favor and stop by Deanatella’s. You’ll thank yourself later. 🍽️ Two food lovers, one page—justifying our epic food binges, one bite at a time. Follow along at @joeandjrkfoodreviews for mouthwatering meals, honest scores, and the best hidden gems you need to try. Come hungry.“

“Came in from out of town and they were soooo welcoming!! Made us feel right at home and remembered us when we came in every morning. Gave us some yummy sweets for the road. Can’t recommend enough. Will be back here for sure!! 🩷🩷🩷“

“I live about 90 min from Cleveland, and my 8 year old has been begging me to take him somewhere to try bubble tea for weeks now. We were in Cleveland for the night, and Balance was close to where we were staying so I decided to give it a try. The girl working at the counter was AMAZING! She was so helpful and super interactive with my son, literally mirroring his excitement. I know this is something small, but I have worked in the service industry and I know how infrequent it is to get positive feedback. I’m sorry I didn’t catch the girl’s name (she was tall with long blonde hair), but she was fantastic and really made us feel welcome. The restaurant was also super clean and all the employees were working hard.“

“Love this place. Everyone is so nice and friendly. They know our names(Cheers)and what we drink. I love how they celebrate birthdays. We've had the flatbread pizza. It was absolutely delicious. if you want to feel extra special, this is the place to go.“

“Very accommodating and great food!“

“Fantastic food and service! Our go-to spot on the West side!“

“Great food and MILKSHAKES!“

“Delicious pizza! My husband & I have been watching Charlie’s youtube channel for years now. All of the work he’s put into testing every aspect of pizza making comes through at Good Pizza. We don’t live in Ohio so when we were traveling there for the weekend we knew Good Pizza had to be our first stop & we’re so glad we made it there!“

“Excellent lunch and friendly service from the owner himself!“

“First time here and it's amazing. Very clean and calm environment. I will definitely be back.“

“If I had to pick the top 5 coffees I’ve ever drank in my life I would have never thought that a coffee from MGK’s coffee house would be my #2! The place was such a cute place to stop on our road trip and I was pleasantly surprised but how good the coffee was and the atmosphere of the place!“

“Stopped here after visiting A Christmas Story House, and we were not disappointed! The food was excellent and great portion sizes. The poke bowls, ramen bowl, wonton soup, and house brew fruity teas were the best we have ever had. We will definitely stop here again when we are in town.“

“We had our daughter’s graduation party on 5/11/24. They made our experience wonderful for our party of 15. The food, beer and drinks were great! The table by the wall was perfect for our food to be set up and at 4:30, we could chat and it wasn’t noisy at all. Thank you to your staff for allowing is to create a beautiful memory!“

“Run!! Don’t walk to the culinary masterpiece at Zuki Sushi! This sushi haven seamlessly blends tradition with innovation. Impeccably fresh fish, vibrant flavors, and artistic presentation make each roll a delight. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff enhance the overall experience. This small town restaurant is a gem for sushi enthusiasts, promising a memorable journey through exquisite taste and immaculate craftsmanship. Simply amazing!“
