35 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Independence

“I met a friend for lunch recently and had a nice experience. The food was good, and the place is pretty nice. The place was sparsely populated at the time (mid-afternoon) and I would have thought the service would have been a little better. At my friend’s urging, I tried something new (chili relleno) and it was GREAT! I will certainly try that again.“

“Best place to get coffee, desserts, pizza, and even a brew on tap. The owners are the sweetest people and we love our collaboration there! You can pick up any of our multi award-winning desserts right inside Brew! You will be welcomed by Cathy and Mitch and they’re amazing team, you can’t get a better experience in such a beautiful little town.“

“Fun times and good beers!“

“Our favorite place to grab food for casual date nights. The food is TO DIE FOR. You can taste how much he loves to cook; he puts his soul into his cooking. Wonderful people, love the atmosphere here. Great place to hang out and enjoy downtown.“

“I have always been more than happy with the special #2. The portion sizes are huge and I love it. Id prefer less sweet and sour sauce in the box when you order it to go, but it seems like theres always a relatively equal mix of fully sauced chicken pieces and some only about half. So you can elect to drown your chicken in more of the delicious sauce or eat a half doused ones as is. The chow mein is perfect. Pork fried rice is a great addition that lets you enjoy rice with some appreciated flavor. I originally didnt like the crab puffs but they grew on me quickly.

Ive seen some complain that the outside needs more cleaning or that the environment needs some adjustment. I think the concerns of the outside are fair enough, but Ive never felt the place was unclean. If anything, I take small town restaurants with dated exteriors but fine interiors as a sign of the truly good stuff. And my experience with Jade terrace has basically just been that: the good stuff.

I am currently full to the brim with a special #2 after thinking about it all day and not eating much. You know what Im not full of? Regret. The special #2 filled me up so much, I have no room for it. Great place for Chinese food.“

“The place has a lovely western feel to it. Almost feels like you’re in Montana or Wyoming. The staff was lovely and the food was great. 10/10 experience.“

“Mendi's! You keep popping up on my GPS! I need to come fulfill this need for amazing pizza! You have come very highly recommended from local talent!

Update: I was finally able to make it! I am not disappointed at all! Hell yeah Mendi's.“

“Online ordering is very easy and when we picked it up, the food looked even better than in the photos. Our order was done right on time and was the most delicious Thai food I’ve had in Oregon or NY. I can’t remember having Thai food anywhere else, but it’s likely better than that too. The salad rolls and papaya salad were my favorite but the grilled pork was an important part of the meal.“

“Had a lunch with here with girl friends. Our server, Aiden, was so fun and amazing! Food was incredible and wine was exquisite! We plan this as a yearly event now. This is a wonderful winery with great service as well as wine and food!“

“amazing! had some slushies and some other ciders! got a growler! amazing staff!“

“the food and drinks are amazing!“

“Food was alright just a tad over cooked. Waitress was not very nice. The place is old and needs updated and the floors were disgusting! The menu did not have the correct price so if your on a budget, you get to guess how much more the price is.“

“Not only are the pizzas delicious, with the yummiest pizza crust but YB has some of the best customer service I've ever encountered, especially in the last few years when customer service seems to have seriously declined. I would go back to them again and again just for that.“

“My family had a great experience with booking a party at Left Coast Estate. Jacquelyn and I worked together to plan a great birthday experience for my daughter. Everything from the food to the setting and of course the wine was fabulous. She communicated well with me (from out of state) and made everything happen seamlessly. Thank you so much!“

“It is hard to find good breakfast in this area and Cafe 22 hits the spot. I love their peaches, the pancake thickness isnt overly cakey and hard to swallow. The bacon is thick and cooked just right. The raspberry jam is real raspberry jam. The water mentioned in the another review is because they are on a well so it does taste little bit more tinnish, a lemon wedge in my water cured that. Stopped by the fruit stand for fresh strawberries, on the spendy side, but oh the flavor, absolutely nothing beats an Oregon strawberry. Had I known they did strawberry short cake, I woulda skipped the breakfast and went straight to the fruit stand.“

“I absolutely love the Sippery and regularly travel over from Salem to enjoy their delish fresh smoothies, coffee, and bagel sandwiches. The workers are always so incredibly friendly and I just love the vibe. Highly recommend it’s worth the drive!“

“Westside is without question the best taphouse in Salem. Great variety of beers, ciders, and wines that skew PNW local. Almost always something new and unique to try. Small selection of cans & bottles to go. Friendly staff & nice atmosphere. Year round outdoor seating as well.

Kid-friendliness: 21+“

“Great food. Friendly staff.“

“I love this place!! I put a bumper sticker on my 74 jeep I’m building for my grandson. Great place!!!“

“If you’re on the hunt for mouthwatering, authentic barbecue, Roger That BBQ is a must-visit. From the moment you pull up to the location, the smoky aroma of slow-cooked meats draws you in like a magnet. This place is all about honoring the art of the smoker, and it shows in every bite. The brisket is phenomenal. The pulled pork melts in your mouth, and the ribs are fall-off-the-bone perfect. The Prime Rib Dip is exceptional and cooked to perfection. And what I consider the hardest meat to keep juicy, a chicken breast, is delicious to the last bite. Our family never passes us an opportunity to take home several wimpy burgers for later. Roger, Danielle, and all the staff are serving up food with care and passion for the smoker’s art. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty platter or just a quick bite of smoked perfection, this spot delivers. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This place is fabulous. The food is great.“

“Beautiful place. Great wines. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.“

“Comfortable, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. Supports local events, ie: Monmouth Music in the Park, Western Oregon University concerts, & Tailgating, local service organizations & charity events. Locally sourced products, wines , & brews. Healthy meals, cooked on order. Sunday brunch, catering, family dining. Please visit!“

“Where to begin? The location looks great, and it has a good vibe to it. The customer service is top notch, my server was very nice and even put some special attention with a message on our anniversary order bag (very sweet!).

Now the food. The flavor on the beef ramen is fantastic. The beef is tender, the noodles are cooked perfectly and all the veggies tasted fresh. The Takoyaki here has to be some of the best in Salem. I also tried the fried chicken bun for the first time, great flavor, soft bun and crispy chicken in the middle.

My wife ordered the chicken stir fry ramen, fresh veggies, fried chicken all tasted amazing.

We will be back for sure! thank you for a great experience!“

“I live in Salem Oregon but I work out in Monmouth so I frequently stop at the Dutch Brothers here in Monmouth for my drinks and let me tell you the staff here are just so amazing they're always so nice and they always make my day you're all your locations need to have a crew like these guys and I just wanted to give them a shout out today to let them know this customer appreciates everything they do and how they make me feel every time I come through thank you guys and you guys are and always will be my favorite shop.“

“This has been such a happy surprise. Bethany the bartender has the best energy and way w all the customers. Rita’s Taco Truck is phenomenal, my mouth is watering just thinking about their food, Able and his mom are a DREAM TEAM. Only reason I didn’t give five stars across the board is because the smoking area is rather large and the smell can be smelled inside.“

“A beautiful venue with many unique wines to try. It was so nice to have an indoor tasting space in the heat of summer. Plus, they were so knowledgeable about the different varieties and what made them each special. We'll definitely be back!“

“The Employees/Baristas/Broistas always make exactly what I want, and they’re so friendly and kind. Thank you so much for making me feel so special every time I come over to get my drink. ♥️“

“Great food and awesome service. I'm here either dining in or picking up my dinner at least 3 times a month“

“I’ll say that I’ve been to this location a few times whenever I’m able to stop by and I always have good experiences here. Drinks are always good and consistent, but today the incredibly nice and funny girl taking orders outside was amazing! She recommended a flavored green tea for me which I absolutely loved and her energy was just great!!“

“The Employees/Baristas/Broistas always make exactly what I want, and they’re so friendly and kind. Thank you so much for making me feel so special every time I come over to get my drink. ♥️“

“Thank you for the 5-star drive thru experience on National Fry Day weekend. I received a free regular fry for Burgerville Loyalty Members and I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and a Sprite to make it a meal. Everything was very fresh and very good. I am definitely planning on going back soon.“

“We had dinner here on a late Sunday in Sept 25. We were able to sit outside as it was still warm. No one else was outside so we had the whole porch. Our server was tremendous. She worked with the kitchen to help customize our order. The food was great. The old house is an attraction in itself.“

“Amazing place! Amazing food! Amazing decor! Amazing beer! Clean bathrooms!“

“We were able to be seated super fast, great menu selection and warm comfortable vibe! Highly recommend!“
