50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Shaker Heights

“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“

“Great place!!! Lots to do and always hosting a variety of events for adults and kids!!“

“Great breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Especially the Brisket!❤️“

“Best pizza in Cleveland or maybe in the Midwest. I have tried many great pizzas in NYC and New Haven, CT. If you like crispy, chewy sourdough crust and thinness and amazing flavors, this place is for you. I would say it is like Roberta's of Brooklyn, NYC. The sauce is also tart and has amazing flavor. My favs are the pepperoni and the white pizza with the mushroom and garlic. I have tried Little Italy, some place that starts with M and V, and I tell you, if you are a coastal expat, this is your pizza oasis.“

“Before visiting, I thought Craft Collective was a bona fide brewery, but it's actually just a tap room of sorts situated inside a galley style venue. Interesting set up. The Hazy IPA I enjoyed was really very good, I must say, while the bartender could have been a bit more attentive. If you're looking for a variety of beer in this vicinity, give them a shot.“

“Wonderful food! Friendly atmosphere“

“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.“

“Great people!!! Pastrami reuben is AMAZING“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Fantastic food and service!“

“Catering for Our Film crew was Perfect after a long day on Set!! Every dish was a celebration of Italy's culinary traditions, fresh, high-quality ingredients. The classic combination of ingredients was a snapshot of what Italian cuisine is all about. The Lemon Chicken, Peppers, Meatballs, Pasta and Salad were Perfection .... the team loved everything!“

“9/24/2025: This place is a gem! The food and service was amazing! Our server Katina was very attentive and made sure everything was great throughout the night!! We also enjoyed talking with Moma and her daughter. Such an added bonus to the night to meet and hear their stories! Can't wait to go back---until then I will enjoy my left overs!!“

“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!“

“I have breakfast here every Friday and I love their food. I have met some of the nicest people that are regulars here like I am. The staff is awesome! The service is wonderful thanks to Lisa, Ricky and Ian.“

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

“Food was all perfect - love the blue cheese dressing on the romaine wedge salad and Branzino and other guests were very happy with their meals - lamb shanks, salmon, and seafood tortellini. Waitress Mandy was excellent. Really appreciated that we could reserve a table for a regular time rather than specific New Year's Eve seatings and it was no problem to be out of there before their 1 3/4 -2 hour time limit for the special night, even with dessert and apps. Multi-racial clientele and good jazz over the sound system.“

“Yummy latte. Got the spiced coconut latte with oat milk. Very helpful and friendly staff. Husband got blood moon tea and it was delicious too.“

“Great food and MILKSHAKES!“

“📍 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.

“very nice spot with good coffee, good service, and a very nice atmosphere.“

“This place will always hold a special spot in my heart. Been going since I was a small child and absolutely love taking my kids there now. Is the food and coffee more expensive now? Sure. But, so is everything else. The food is still amazing and still tastes just like home.“

“The food was amazing like OMG! I am so glad I chose this as my birthday meal. Everything was flavorful, portions were generous and I did my happy dance while eating my oxtails. My Mom got the curry goat and my sis got the curry chicken. I had to try theirs too! Everything was on point and the owner is so sweet🩷“

“Last week I stopped in looking for a red wine I could enjoy with a friend visiting for Thanksgiving. I had super vague parameters and a budget of $300 or less. Adam was able to hook me up with probably the best wine I have ever tasted (Spottswoode 2017 Cab)!!!!! To say Adam is knowledgable is an understatement. I will absolutely be back. Good vibes too!“

“My fiancé and I want to thank the entire staff at Vero for an AMAZING experience! The pizza is by far some of the best pizza I have ever had in 40+ years! I will gladly come back from NJ to eat here again! My compliments to the Chef and the staff. We now have a home away from home. As we Italians say GRAZIE TANTE! 🇮🇹🙏“

“Chicken bacon ranch taco is absolutely amazing. Great vibe here, very chill and welcoming. Artwork is amazing, staff is helpful food is fantastic, drinks are classic to unique depending on what you are in for. Love this place and would highly recommend.“

“We always have a great meal at Korea House. I crave their budae jjigae“

“A bit loud, but not beyond what you would expect for a beer hall. The food was excellent, and the variety of brews was great. Also appreciate that they have some NA options.
Seating is communal, so if you are a small group (2-4), expect to share a table with another small group.
Overall I highly recommend checking this place out.“

“The Fairmount is a perfect mix of all you could want! Amazing, delicious food, beautiful atmosphere on the large, enclosed green terrace and professional , friendly staff. I have never had a negative experience and I’m there often!“

“Great brewery with great food and excellent staff.“

“I got the 1/2 pound bacon BLT and the Chicken Tenders with French toast. Lots of quality food, and fast, friendly service. I will recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants quality at a fair price. For a small sit down/carry out restaurant, I thought the place was super clean and new looking with white quartz counters and white wall tiles. Looks very new inside.“

“My husband and I Stopped in randomly after driving past on a Saturday afternoon. We loved it. Sat at the bar. Talked to one of the owners who served up a fantastic cranberry orange margarita! Cozy atmosphere. We shared the breakfast burger with the most perfectly fried hash browns and a side of the Brussel sprouts! No complaints. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Karen is a hoot! We had an amazing dinner and even better service. 10/10 recommend!“

“Cute cafe in a quaint Cleveland neighborhood. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious.“

“The food is delicious, the atmosphere is inviting. Perfect neighborhood spot.“

“The food is absolutely delicious!“

“My go-to spot for a cannoli and espresso! Presti’s is an absolute gem. There’s something here for everyone. Sometimes there’s a long wait if it’s busy but it’s always well staffed and the employees are clearly hustling. I always tip because they work so hard!“

“We stopped in for lunch and it exceeded our expectations! We ordered a ham sandwich on focaccia bread with potato, broccoli and cheddar soup, and the Claudio sandwich with white bread. It was all spectacular! The story of how the shop started was also sweet to read inside the restaurant. We will definitely stop here again next time we are in the area.“

“I have been coming here for well beyond thirty years and found the food to be deluscious every single time!“

“The food and service were excellent. Always there asking if you needed anything. Service incredible and great group of people coming there to get great food!“

“This was our first time here. Absolutely amazing service by Oliver... very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was perfect, cozy, and inviting. The spicy hummus with warm pita bread, was really delicious. Classic cocktails and just flavorful food.. We will definitely return ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
