44 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Waynesville

“Looking forward to future open mics/performance with Papi Kodak live!“

“Amazing burgers and good customer service! 10/10 recommend drove 3 hours and found it and glad we did!“

“My favorite family friendly place. Bock excels at creating a space where we gather as family, friends, soccer teams, etc with their large open room, but also there's a game room my kids love, foosball, and shuffle board. And that's not even getting to the food and drinks. My favorite snacks include the German nachos, reuben dip, and pretzels. The drinks are always on point- fresh and delicious. we always love the lemon blueberry with with a slice of lemon and the Negligent IPA. They are staffed by some of the greatest people. A family favorite for sure.“

“The crab Rangoon is #1 anywhere in Dayton. Fish Fry through Lent is IMPECCABLE. Cooked to PERFECTION. A HUGE KUDOS to Blake the Fish King!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“I have been to this KPOT location several times. Every time I have had a wonderful time and enjoyed the food. Tonight we had an absolutely amazing server. AJ was very kind and provided exceptional service, which was so very appreciated after our 8 hour drive back home from visiting family. Honestly I don't know how KPOT keeps managing to go above and beyond our expectations each time we visit, but we are consistently leaving very pleased. Great job to the KPOT staff for being amazing at what they do 💜“

“I loved this place. Its a nice, cozy, and comfy coffee chop. It was my first time visiting but I felt like I knew the baristas since forever. They have a variety of pastries and drinks. There is a grab and go fridge. The food was fresh and delectble. Frindly and kind staff who made me feel welcomed.“

“Me and my weekly lunch bunch of 6 ladies have this place in our regular rotation. The clam chowder is perfection with tender, not chewy, clams. Paired it with Boom Boom shrimp for the tastiest lunch. Just sorry it took me so long to try this place.“

“Some friends and I went there for the first time today. The entire staff was so welcoming and kind. I would highly recommend it to everyone! Thank you 🩷“

“Coming to Hole N One has become a little weekly thing of ours for me and my family. My girls love the sprinkle donuts and I loveee the raspberry jelly ones. Literally can’t get enough! Lots of options as well, and very clean.“

“First time I decided to splurge and got some cookies for the kids and I . Was a treat . I assumed the cookies would be smaller so I was not looking forward to the paying for these cookies however the size of these cookies makes it well worth our enjoyment. Glad to have caved and come here“

“Q was very attentive and made sure we always had a drink. 🥃“

“Stopped in after a Reds game to get dinner with my wife on our way back to the KOA Campground nearby. Clare had our table and was a great server! Frequent visits to the table, very cheerful, and served us a fantastic steak sandwich. Draft beer was cold and clean taste. And they have Keno. My kind of place, I will be back the next time I’m in the area 😁“

“My son and I had a great meal here today. The pork tenderloin and wings were some of the best either of us can remember having ever. We can't wait to go back and try some more creations off that menu. Son's a massive wing fan and we go to different restraunts just for that reason and he said these are now his absolute FAVORITE he has ever had.“

“The people that are running the place are so sweet and accomodating! The drinks were delicious! There are so many choices to choose from. The lady who took my order told me that if I didn’t like the drinks that I ordered she could remake something else I might would like instead as they are new and still trying to get the measurements right with the recipes but there was no need, they were so good! Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed! 🫶🏼“

“I’m obsessed with this place! I personally do not like sushi but after I got the hibachi for the first time I have had to order it over and over and over! Also my daughter and I dined in and it was just us at the grill but it was still a fun time!“

“Great food! Great service!“

“The wattress was amazing. The wine , food, atmosphere is exceptional. A party of 8 and everyone was extremely happy. Will visit again.“

“You place your order at the counter and the sandwiches come with a small side. They serve what has to be the best Reuben Sandwich in town. It was full of meat and kraut but not sloppy. My side was potato salad and it was good but a little small.“

“Love that they carry TinCap something for us ladies that like something sweet. Amazing food always. Kid and dog friendly. Edit from recent visit during Oktoberfest 2025: I want to give kudos to the Taproom Manager, he was helping out with another lady at the bar. I asked for a couple crowlers and had went to pay and the tablet had an error, so as I waited for the Manager to finish...some guy comes up to be and tries to act like I skipped the line (which clearly I hadn't as the lady at the bar was helping people faster, as I waited for the guy to finish). It was a ridiculous altercation with a grown man, and the Manager went to bat for me. I appreciate that, and hope that gentleman who felt he needed to be a bully doesn't come back.“

“Our group of 6 from Hidden Springs Senior Living decided to stop in for lunch. We all agreed that the food was Wonderful and the service was too. Staff was very helpful and friendly 😊 We are already planning our next visit!“

“Had a great lunch at Hidden Valley Orchards yesterday, and the highlight was definitely topping it off with one of their amazing apple caramel ice cream sundaes 🍎🍦. Perfect fall vibes, great company, and a sweet treat that hit the spot! If you haven’t been, it’s definitely worth the trip. #HiddenValleyOrchards #FallFlavors #SupportLocal“

“I couldn’t give a total 5 stars because anything extra is an additional charge. I mean anything! A side of ranch is extra a side of buffalo sauce extra and so on. I ordered a white wine sangria which was actually only a white wine with a slice of orange and a slice of lime. I asked the server if I could get a couple of cherries and a splash of pineapple juice to make it actually a sangria and they charged me a dollar for it!!..same thing when I ordered a second one. My 15.00 chicken sandwich platter after adding a few extras..( cheese,bacon and buffalo sauce ) ended up costing a whopping $23.00. I never knew everything or anything that does not come with your meal is extra until I received the bill. FYI ala carte is a killer here.“

“This is my 90 year old mother in laws favorite, so we thought we’d give it a try! Friendly service and a great meal at The Chop House in Dayton. We started off with an appetizer of spinach queso, it was full of flavor and the chips were light with just the right amount of salt. The grouper special was incredible and paired well with the rice pilaf and broccoli. The crab cakes were perfectly cooked, (she asked them not to cook hard...remember she's 90) and they made it just right, and the baked potato was spot on. My turkey and dressing was good, though the turkey was sliced a bit thick for me but my husband loved it, the dressing was flavorful and not too salty which is a huge plus for me. The homemade Heath Bar and vanilla ice cream were outstanding. It was rich and creaming and tasted soooo good!“

“Great restaurant! Friendly faces and quick service every time. There is plenty of free parking and tables available. Dine in and take out. Delicious food, I love their apple jalapeño sauce, and their Shakes are delicious too. Kids friendly. Love their trains decor! Highly recommended.“

“Each year around Thanksgiving, we celebrate our employees with a company-sponsored breakfast. Despite economic challenges and tariffs negatively impacting our bottom line, we wanted to continue this tradition. This year, we provided a continental-style breakfast featuring Chick-fil-A chicken biscuit sandwiches, fresh fruit, and several additional items from a local warehouse store. Chick-fil-A delivered our food promptly, complete with all necessary utensils and serving supplies. A special thank-you to William, our delivery driver, who was exceptionally patient and kind. When I asked about signing the receipt and adding a tip, he explained that Chick-fil-A doesn’t process tips—but his excellent service deserves recognition. We want to express our appreciation to the Washington Township Chick-fil-A, operated by Marla Davis, as well as her Centerville (Cornerstone area) location. As a local Centerville resident, I find both restaurants are consistently efficient, and their employees are always friendly and professional. We highly recommend Marla Davis’s Chick-fil-A locations for any catering needs or any Chic-fil-A craving.“

“Everything was so yummy! Best crust I’ve had in forever! The pizza was so good ! We started with the stuffed mushrooms. The mushrooms did not disappoint! Great wine. The balsamic was great. Service was fantastic! Would definitely come again.“

“Relaxing and the pizza is great“

“Just moved here to the area couple years ago I just now started getting out and seeing new things in Lebanon and one of the things I've liked is a little bar called Kings bar on Mulberry Street the people that are and there are friendly it's a little bit of mixture of everybody I've only been in there a few times so far and everybody already starts to know my name to put it up on the chalkboard to play pool a nice little drama-free place“

“Victor’s Taco shop is by far the best “fast food casual” Tex-Mex menu around! We love going and getting the breakfast burrito; awesome tasting and so price competitive!! It’s a two-meal breakfast. Highly recommend, you getting the best Tex-Mex food available in Dayton.“

“Probably my favorite restaurant in Dayton, even though it's a chain. We come here often and have rarely had anything not be perfect. Usually the service is so fast and the courses come out very quickly. Some of my favorite things are the Alex's salad, rotisserie chicken, pork tenderloin, and the filet mignon. Steaks are usually perfectly cooked. Dimly lit and cozy atmosphere, usually still not too loud.“

“Been eating there since they opened the first location! Can't wait for the Huber Heights location!“

“Had a great meal at Carvers the other night. I ordered the 14oz NY Strip medium-rare, closer to the rare side than medium. They absolutely nailed it, the steak was cooked to perfection. It was a great cut of meat, very tender for a strip, and the taste was just perfect. The service was just right, checked on us when appropriate, kept the drinks full. The au gratin potatoes were delicious as well. Overall, a great experience and I will definitely be returning.“

“Pho yummy at a great price!“

“The PB Swizzle bowl is soooo good!“

“Lock 27 is always top notch. Especially the food. The recent addition of fried pickles seals the deal for me. I hope they don’t get rid of them. Not many places offer fried pickle spears. And they make their own breading and it’s just the right amount of each!! It’s the best I’ve ever had! (Also wings and resolution salad always slaps)! 10/10 would recommend :)
P.S. the bartender Kenzie has always given the best service to me and whoever I bring in. Thank you!“

“Best wings I've ever had! 10/10!“

“Love the Hot Sexy Roll and BYOB rocks on $$$ savings!“

“The original on Brown St. was church but I still stop in a couple times a year for nostalgia, not to mention the sweet patio.
The bar had a duo playing so win-win.
Scott n Dana blew it out of the park, book them again please cause we'll be back.
The bartender was friendly and on it service wise but nor over bearing. Manager was friendly without being cheesy as well.
I've never had their pizza let alone a cauliflower crust-Holy Baboli, we LOVED IT!
It beats out every one I've tried with my gluten free 🥱 friend 😆
I ordered a half sub with Milanos potatos. Gotta get a side of homemade chip dip for dipping every time cause I'm addicted“

“Fast, friendly service. Food was great!“

“Amazing customer service! This restaurant gives back to the community!“

“Great portion size. Food is hot and delicious. Customer service is top-notch. Lunch special is very affordable. Overall great experience.“

“Love love love everybody here and I come and get my coffee every day and everybody just has such a positive attitude and the drinks are made right every time and so delicious. 💕 always coming back it always gets my drinks out in time when I’m in the drive-through.“

“It has been a while since I was able to eat at Long John Silvers...or A&W, for that matter. I was very pleasantly surprised at how good it all tasted. The flavor or the fish is one-of-a-kind and unforgettably cravable. The chicken has a similar, but equally good flavor. I remember actively disliking hushpuppies when I was a kid. The hushpuppies that I had today were the first ones that I have ever had that I would search out again. They were wonderful.“

“First time trying the pizza. We ordered the New York style stuffed pizza. Overall not bad however it was a bit dry for my liking. I think if they added a garlic butter lightly brushed over it once it’s done it would be perfect. Other than that it was pretty good. Smells amazing. Could maybe even stuff the crust with cheese. Again thoughts. But overall I was quoted 35 minutes and I arrived about 10 minutes early and it was coming out of the oven. The staff were very sweet and polite. I’ll try a different style next time. I may not be a fan of the double crust. It was good don’t get me wrong. I just think it was a tad dry. Flavor was great!“
