Dog Friendly Restaurants University Heights

“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.“

“Wonderful serving ! Larenzo was a wonderful server, thanks for all your help !!“

“This location is under new ownership and management as of about August 2022. I have to say that the quality has improved a lot since. Bit of a tip. It's fresher and much more delicious if you pick it up vs Door Dash. DD drivers drive around for half an hour, go in all sorts of weird directions and the pizza is cold by the time it gets to you. You can't get extra cheese with Door Dash, either. You have to order by phone and pick up.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Amazing food! Wonderful service!🤩 Todo es divino!!!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“i forgot when is the last time i make a good review like this.
i come because my friend work here and recommend me to try this restaurant.
everything was wonderfully amazing! every dishes that i got represented whats on the menu perfectly.
especially the braised shirt rib with 24 hours slow cook, omg thats effortless chewed.
thanks to Miranda who served me and my friend Nic that recommend me this place.“

“Brassica in Shaker Heights was such a good find while visiting a friend. I went twice in one trip, that should tell you something. Got the salad bowl both times with hummus and basically loaded it up with everything, and it just works no matter what combo you put together. Tried the chicken on one visit and the brisket on the other, both were fabulous. Fair warning though, the brisket is subject to availability, so don't count on it being there every time.
Do yourself a favor and order the fries at least once even if you're trying to be good. They complement the bowl perfectly, and throwing a few fries right into the salad is genuinely a great move. Also have to mention the beer selection. Good local options and reasonably priced, which is a nice touch alongside the food.
This place earns the trip back any time I'm in the area.“

“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“

“📍 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.“

“Great food and MILKSHAKES!“

“Very accommodating and great food!“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“So friendly and fun. Great place to stop in for a cocktail“

“Another great experience...fast...good shakes“

“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“

“Great brewery with great food and excellent staff.“

“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!“

“Cool , laidback atmosphere. The owners are great !
my only complaint is the employee Alexa. She greets you but her vibe is kind of rude. I usually get my points but she rung me up and I asked “will I get my points for this order ?” she said “no” and walked away (spent $9 so, yea i wanted those points)

but I always return, for the drinks….they’re good“

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

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

“Great food An experience.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Apple Cart what can I say your still in business.My mother would bring us to your walk up window to order our chocolate or vanilla ice cream when I was 12 years old.Everytime we got a good report card to show mommy when we were 12 years old me and my identical twinsister lloved this place.
Thank you for memories .“

“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 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!“
