22 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Waterloo

“Wonderful food, fantastic interior, and great location--on Northfield, between Bridge and University. Also a community-minded business. A must-visit establishment. Dog-friendly for well-behaved dogs on leashes. (I'm not a dog person, and I didn't feel nervous for a second.)“

“I was really impressed with the Breakfast Combo! It was substantial with the sides of chutneys and the potato masala was delicious- not very hot to suit those who can't take too much hot spice!!!! The cardamom chai was excellent. Purnisha (hope the spelling is correct) is a gracious hostess! We will definitely visit again and try out other dishes!“

“Great cocktails. Nice live music I really enjoyed the intimate atmosphere.“

“Delicious vegan baked goods and coffees. Highly recommend!“

“Went for all you can eat wings. Our waitress, I didn't catch her name, was amazing. Even though we had a large party, she would have conversations with us and was very attentive to everyone. The wings were fantastic and the food came out at a good pace so we weren't waiting long. Will definitely be going back.“

“the vegan pizza is soooooo good. do build your own. 5/5 I will be back for more. good vegetarian and vegan options“

“Great beer and super friendly people. I came with my two dogs who were cute but reactive...the staff were understanding and accommodating. This is a place where you can bring in your own food and drinks and your dogs. Dropped by because of a recommendation and love it! Will come back when I'm in the area!“

“We are not from the area and looked up places to eat. We tried The Civil and it was a whole vibe!!! The atmosphere was so nice and chill. The decor was nice and the music was vibing!! The food looked and tasted great. Our server Renée was pleasant. We had to wait a bit to order but she was waiting alone. The overall experience was great! Would definitely recommend. All our pizzas tasted so good.“

“This is one of the best breweries in Kitchener/Waterloo and Cambridge. Personally, it's one of the few breweries in Canada that come across entirely personable and incredibly welcoming to everyone. The owner is extremely helpful, enthusiast, and well-knowledgeable about all areas of their business. The available beers will rotate, so often you can try a variety of different delicious beers throughout the year but still pick up their staples which are absolutely fantastic (make sure to do yourself a favour and grab some Lando!) The prices are fair, the areas are clean/well managed, and I have never encountered an issue with the mulitple times I have attended this establishment whether if it was for concerts, going with friends or just stopping in for a beer after work. It is one of the few places I know that not only an adult can enjoy, but kids are welcome with their parents and even dogs, too! I wish there were more places like Short Finger Brewing Co. in Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge, but I am extremely happy we have this place as not only do they support the Region of Waterloo at every opportunity but host a number of events for Arts community and more. I know if I stop in, it'll never be for a quick visit because it feels like a home away from home. And honestly, I love that.“

“I have an extra large latte in a large cup every day at Balzacs in the Tannery Building. The baristas are top notch and the space is beautiful. Thanks for bringing fabulous coffee to Kitchener!“

“Ehrmahgawd! 😻 The best antijitos I've ever eaten bar none! 🔥“

“Stopped by Yeti Cafe on a Thursday morning while passing through and grabbed two vegan breakfast sandwiches.

I preordered and paid online with a 9:35 a.m. pickup time. Parking was super easy with free covered parking right across the street for up to an hour, which was a nice bonus.

Walking inside, my first thought was how cool the space is. I loved the aesthetic. It's bright, fun, and has a really great vibe. There are tables inside if you're waiting, plus outdoor seating, and the market across the street looks like a great place to wander before or after your meal.

My order wasn't ready until about 9:45, around 10 minutes later than scheduled. It wasn't a huge deal for me because I wasn't in a rush, but one of the reasons I preorder is when I'm heading somewhere on a schedule. A 10 minute delay can throw off your whole morning. They also weren't very busy, and nobody really acknowledged the delay. Nothing rude at all, just not much urgency. I'd suggest giving yourself an extra 10 to 15 minutes beyond the pickup time if you need to be somewhere.

Now for the food... wow.

The vegan breakfast sandwich was incredible. Perfectly toasted sesame bagel, vegan egg, vegan sausage, aioli, pickled onions, and just the right amount of hot sauce. The spice level was spot on for me, but if you don't like any heat, you may want to choose something else.

The only other thing worth mentioning is the price. Two breakfast bagel sandwiches came to $31 after tax, which definitely made me wince a little. I understand food costs are high right now, but it's still a pricey breakfast.

That said... I'd absolutely go back.

Even with the wait and the higher price, the food was just that good.

Overall, I'd give my experience a solid **9.5/10**. Amazing food, a really fun brand, a beautiful space, and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.“

“Our family has been to CFA Kitchener several times now. It's consistently good food and the staff are friendly and helpful. The rare time something hasn't been up to our expectations, they have gone above and beyond to make things right.“

“Best pizza in Ontario. Anna and Reza are hard working, and genuine. Since moving to the GTA 2 years ago, the biggest miss of Kitchener is Rustic. I promise to visit again when COVID is over! I hope you and baby (now toddler) are doing well! All the best!“

“First time dining here, and I really enjoyed it! The restaurant is huge with a spacious open-concept layout, so it never felt cramped.
My partner and I came for lunch around 1 p.m. and were seated right away, even though there were three large parties ahead of us with tables of 10+ people. Knowing the kitchen would likely be busy, we ordered our drinks, appetizers, and mains all at once and I'm so glad we did because everything came out surprisingly fast. We barely had to wait!
We started with the pickle chips, which were perfectly crispy, savoury, and great for sharing. For our main, we ordered the 3 meats, 2 sides platter. The ribs were definitely the standout served warm, incredibly tender, with crispy edges and a delicious BBQ sauce. We also had the cheddar sausage, which was juicy, flavourful, and cooked perfectly.
Our server was fantastic as well. He kept apologizing for being busy with the larger tables, but honestly, there was no need. Despite the restaurant being busy, he was attentive, checked in on us often, and made sure we had everything we needed.
Overall, we had a great first experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“good sushi for a good price. I haven't been to an all you can eat place yet that's bad so they're doing it right.“
