50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Shaker Heights

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

“I absolutely love Brassica! The food and lemonade is always so fresh and delicious! I love the different options of veggie toppings. Since this place is located within Van Aken District there is plenty of space to sit and enjoy especially in the warmer months so the atmosphere is nice. The bathroom has always been clean everytime I've used it and they even have just a small sink outside of the bathroom if you only need to wash your hands. This place is a little bit on the pricer side but I think its worth it as it is healthier and fresher and a lot of their utensils and napkins and bowls are made from recycled materials and is some are compostable. If you like Mediterranean food in a Chipotle style way then I recommend this place!“

“I love thin style pizzas, a la Il Rione and Pizzeria di Laura, but the bottom 1/3 end of our margherita pizza was crunchy, almost like a thick potato chip. The middle part up to the crust was good and the crust is quite large, but tasty. Although I don't like eating the crust that much. The taste of the middle portion of the pizza was good. We'll have to try this again.“

“Le Stand is one of my go-to spots—everything is always fresh and consistently good. The staff is extremely friendly, which makes the experience even better every time I go in.

I almost always get the avocado bowl, and it never disappoints. And I have to say, I love that they have white French dressing—it’s a small thing, but it sets them apart.

If you’re looking for fresh, flavorful food with great service, I highly recommend Le Stand.“

“Great local place to crab a Cleveland area craft beer. Bartenders also make homemade libations that hit the spot. Coktails are also seasonal and fantastic. Bar seating is limited but plenty of communal tables. Also offers to go beers so you can shop around the area. No food but you can bring in food options from the market.“

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

“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“

“Excellent place to get fantastic and unique food. You won’t have trouble remembering this place once you visit the first time, and you’ll definitely return - for the food, coffee, and friendly staff!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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 food and service!“

“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.“

“Service was great! Delicious, fresh bubble tea and delicious mochi donuts!! 🍩🧋 Can’t wait to come back!“

“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!!“

“A great location with a lot of options (something for everyone 🍦. The staff are always friendly, they move the lines quickly, and the prices are affordable. My favorite is the key lime or berry crumble. They even have already frozen options to pick up and take home.“

“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.“

“This place is phenomenal! This was our second time eating here and we have been so impressed both times! We normally would go downtown for special occasions, but there is no longer a need with this amazing place! Phenomenal food, stellar service and beautiful ambiance. This place is a hidden gem. We will return for EVERY special occasion!“

“OK. I checked this place out last year and I was sorely disappointed. But they have completely changed their tune...er, taste. The curry chicken has a nice spicy taste. The cabbage has good flavor and a unique (at least to me) different presentation (sliced up real thin). And they give HUGE portions! I'm talking "can't shut the lid" portions! Man, they have Jamaican-style plantains - they sweet style. I have another favorite Jamaican spot which I have been going to for almost twenty-five years. If Jamerican keeps up what I experienced today, they may end up taking the gold.“

“Great food and MILKSHAKES!“

“First visit this evening with a small group of friends, had 14 different menu items, drinks, apps, pizzas and desserts The staff was attentive and swift, a nice back room to sit and relax with friends. Everything we tried was wonderful, the staff was flexible bring the hot honey for the pizza on the side. All five of us left comfortably stuffed . Will absolutely be returning. 10 out of 10 pictures of drinks and dessert, eat the pizza to quickly“

“Very accommodating and great food!“

“📍 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.

“Highly addicting.....but we'll worth it“

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

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

“I can't believe I haven't given them a review yet. I come here often and also order delivery too. Nice people, fast and consistent food. I've tried several things on the menu and all good. I recommend this place anytime anyone is looking for a simple, diner style experience nearby.“

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

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

“Ever think of ordering THE Irish stout at an outstanding wine bar? I decided to give it a try and boy oh boy were my expectations blown out of the water. As someone who is personally not a fan of Guinness pours in glasses that don’t meet the Guinness glass standard, this glass and pour is superior to your run of the mill American pint glass. Reasonably priced. Perfect pour. Amazing atmosphere. 11/10 would recommend. The wine spot??? Also could be considered an Irish pub!“

“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!“

“Very cute setup for a quick walk-in for a drink/snack or to sit and study/read. The Taro matcha latte was very well made and hit the spot perfectly. Loved the Tap the screen to order feature. Makes it easy to make selections and also control the various add-ins, sweetness, and ice as well. Definitely will make more runs to grab other items on the menu. Thanks for a great first time experience :)“

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

“The staff was amazing! My 17 (!) friends and family members and I had a blast for my bachelorette party. Our pre- dinner activity finished a whole hour and a half before our reservation and they made it work to help me stay stress free for the evening. Aimee, our server, was so sweet and ensured my group of gals were taken care of the entire time. I highly recommend!“

“Great brewery with great food and excellent staff.“

“Friendly service . explained the flavors... the right price“

“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!“

“I love eating at Gateway diner. It’s always a friendly experience. It feels like Home there. The staff is so kind that atmosphere is so warm. It’s got that true diner experience that you don’t often get anymore plus the pancakes slap.“

“Simply the best pizza I've ever had. Superior toppings, great crust and consistent excellence for decades now. I find it unreasonable for me to go anywhere else.“

“Food wasn't the greatest new cook or just having a bad day. Our waitress crystalyn was very nice and took care of us.. we will come back hopefully the food will be what we remembered it to be.“

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

“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.“

“I came here a lot between 2022 and 2025 when I lived in Cleveland. The beer has always been top notch even for Cleveland but I have to say the food has gotten much better since Eugene's first opened its kitchen inside. I used to think differntly about them but in 2026 these may be the best fries in the city. The vegan dumplings were very high quality and you can't tell that a lot of skill and intent went into the non-meag dishes. I would definitely recommend stopping“

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

“We got a last minute reservation on a Friday night after a recommendation. We weren’t sure what to expect, and we were VERY happy! I had a delicious classic Paper Plane cocktail and hubby ordered a bottle of red wine. We started with frog legs as an appetizer…lightly fried, and so much garlic and lemon…perfection! I had the chicken pitta, my husband had veal parm (our server Tony suggested it as it would go great with the wine he chose). Both dishes were so plentiful we each took half home. The amount of artichokes and red peppers on my piccata was very generous, they don’t skimp on anything! We ended the night with Affogato and it was also wonderful. Bottom line is the whole experience was great! We can’t wait to be back in Cleveland and come back…don’t miss out.“

“It’s been awhile since we have gone to little Italy, Presti’s has been our favorite, they did not disappoint. Took the grandkids & eat so much great stuff! Great prices. Dinning area clean & bright. Restroom room is a 7 out of 10. Chose their pasta, meat Stromboli, spinach & sausage Stromboli, eggplant, red tortellini pasta & of course their cannoli, lady locks - the young man who help was sweet & kind, warmed up everything. Love the self serve water.“

“My brother introduced me to this place. He had brought me in on my birthday weekend (8/9). He showed me the menu prior to coming and so I had an idea of what I wanted to order. When we arrived, I had the honor of meeting the owner of the business, Razzi. Such a really cool, chill dude.
Since he wasn't busy at the time, he took the time to show us all the things his business had to offer. He told us where he gets his ice-cream, the ingredients for his waffles, etc. To learn the history of each item was very insightful.

Service: Razzi was very knowledgeable about his food and the things he serves. He was super cool and I love that he is a small minority business owner. He will be seeing me again soon.

Food: I ordered the Cinnaroll waffle with Nutella spread and a scoop of vanilla brown sugar ice-cream. I also got this Matcha Lemonade. Talk about the best waffle I've ever had. It was light, fluffy, with a nice crisp bite to it. Because of it being made by scratch, all the flavors were very well balanced and nothing overwhelmed. I highly recommend ordering the large waffle. The iced Matcha Lemonade (the green drink) was also good. A very healthy drink.

Atmosphere: Calming laid-back vibe. Place to chill and have great food.“

“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.“
