50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Portsmouth

“My favorite place to relax and enjoy a beer. Wonderful staff, beautiful property and magical greenhouse beer garden!“

“We just came by boat with two little kids not realizing the new fall hours. The employee working saw them peaking into the window and was so kind bringing them each out doughboy donuts. It was such a generous and thoughtful gesture that truly made these two little kids day! We look forward to coming again in the spring (during hours your open)“

“Great food and a great time! The owner spent a lot of time talking with us and sharing stories of the history of the property. A wonderful evening.“

“Great food and the wait staff very friendly.“

“We had a great birthday experience aboard the train & plan on returning many times. We chose The Spruce Car, (as opposed to the murder mystery) which is aptly named, as it's filled with rich, warm woods. The cozy lighting & up-scale, but not pretentious, decor created the perfect ambiance for a romantic birthday. Dinner service was nothing short of wonderful. Our server, Maddie, was friendly, beautiful, and attentive. Both of our dinners were delicious and the cocktails were perfect. More locals should enjoy the Bellevue Grand. It's worth every penny.“

“Delicious breakfast. I had two eggs over light with fruit. Grandson had pancakes. Daughter had Belgium waffle. Good service. Clean restaurant. Pretty decor.

Parking: spacious.

Kid-friendliness: roomy for kids.“

“I visited the Portsmouth location for the second time this morning and this is a perfect first date spot imo. The large wraparound deck is so cute & cozy, like a farmhouse porch. & the coffee 🤩 I had a tiramisu latte last time, a cherry Garcia latte this time- I was not disappointed either time, the flavors were accurate without being overwhelming or weakening the espresso, & oh so delicious. The food is even better; the attention to detail & balance of flavor in the dishes is off the charts. I recommend the avocado toast or whipped feta plate, and if you’re not into coffee, their teas and lemonades are just as amazing.“

“This place is a solid go-to for classic American food done right. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. Fridays are an absolute win because of the $1 raw bar—great quality oysters at that price are hard to beat, and they were super fresh. What really made the experience stand out, though, was our server Mercy. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. You can tell she genuinely cares about great service. Between the food, the Friday raw bar deal, and Mercy’s top-notch service, this spot is definitely worth coming back to.“

“We enjoyed having breakfast at this wonderful place while in Newport, RI. The people who own it and those who work there are AMAZING, friendly, and take the time to talk to customers while keeping service at the top of their list. They (from the kitchen to the front door) look like they love working there and have created a loving family environment. Of course, the line was out the door and down the street, but that was okay because everyone enjoyed visiting each other. There is just one warning, the portions are enormous. You know when my husband can't finish it, it's a lot. 🤣“

“Family run atmosphere with the best service I have experienced in a long time. The restaurant gives off “your mommas home kitchen” vibe with the friendliest, kindest, and caring staff. Our server stayed and talked with us about life and my wife and I (From Florida) felt right at home. The food was amazing! Scrambled eggs were super creamy (I had cheese mixed in with mine), pancakes were cooked to perfection, my wife’s French toast was amazing! The star of the show was the homemade corn beef hash, this is my opinion, is a must try! Will definitely come back every time we are in town! Thank you Timmy’s Staff for an amazing breakfast experience!“

“Coffee and 🥯 Bagel were fantastic, highly recommend“

“Just moved to Fall River few months back and was looking for some food and Sam's pizza in Fall River is one of the best if not the best food I've tried. Always respectful, on time, and also they offer delivery. I give them a 10/10. If you haven't tried there food yet, get on over there and see what your missing out on.“

“I took my wife there today for lunch for the first time. We made the 30-minute trek and we were not disappointed. I had Bluto's Chicken Sandwich and my wife had the Chickpea Wrap. OUTSTANDING! I would recommend to anyone looking for a good Vegan spot 👍“

“We had another wonderful meal at The Food Shack tonight. My dad and I shared the nachos which were superb and my daughter enjoyed her rice bowl. And don’t forget a side of plantains! Also they serve local beer now which is a bonus. You need to eat here!“

“Cru Café is an excellent spot in Newport. Even when it’s busy, the line moves quickly and service is friendly and efficient. The staff is cheerful, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the food is fresh, fast, and absolutely delicious. A great place worth visiting!“

“Root is a nice vegan spot in Newport with a simple, comfortable setup and a straightforward menu. Nothing fancy, but it feels welcoming and easy to order from. I had the BBQ jackfruit sandwich, and it was really good. The flavor was smoky and slightly sweet, and the texture worked surprisingly well. My partner tried the Arriva grain bowl, which was fresh and layered with flavor without being heavy. Both dishes tasted well thought out and clearly made with care. The menu has a good mix of bowls, sandwiches, smoothies, and baked items, so it’s easy to find something whether you’re fully plant-based or just looking for a healthier option. Prices seemed reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Service was friendly, and things came out at a steady pace. Overall, Root feels like a solid place to go for a good vegan meal in town. I’d definitely come back for the food, especially that jackfruit sandwich. Updated from previous review on 2025-12-29“

“Celebrated a birthday last evening at Viola Cucina with a party of 12. EXCEPTIONAL! Small venue but comfortably accommodated us all. Fabulous food, drinks, and service. We all left very happy! Bravo!“

“We were staying nearby and decided to get Thai. The decor inside is wonderful and thoughtfully done. The food was really good and prices are amazing. I was shocked by how affordable they were. The gentleman who served us was very kind and friendly. No complaints. Would definitely return in the future.“

“Today we made a pilgrimage to Basil Yu’s restaurant, Yagi Noodles. My son happened to see that Basil had become a successful restaurateur while he was watching one of Guy Fieri’s shows. We had become acquainted with Basil when we were all involved with a Boy Scout Troop in Manchester NH. We were disappointed to discover that Basil wasn’t at the restaurant, however we got over it when we found out it was due to a commitment to a fundraiser for the James Beard Foundation. Basil, You weren’t there, but your food is delicious. You get the Merit Badge! You weren’t there, but your staff is spectacular! You get the Merit Badge! We wish you continued success!

“From atmosphere, customer service, bartenders, great vibe and above all great selection of pours! pizza and wings are my families favorite bite!! highly recommend“

“We were vacationing in Newport from Wisconsin and stopped in at Cappy’s. Sue the bartender was friendly and a wonderful bartender. The owner Joe, what can I say….what a guy! Joe saw us walking to our Airbnb and yelled at us on the street asking when we were headed back home. Joe is a gem of a bartender. He has a gift of gab and can hand out the bs too. Nice local establishment with friendly customers and bartenders. We had Dan as a bartender too and he was a friendly, great guy! This place reminds us of our local pub at home where everybody knows your name. Thank you for your great hospitality! It made our vacation so much more enjoyable. Thank you!! LuAnn & Steve“

“We’ve been going since they opened. Beautiful place on the water! Great new menu (much better in my opinion) Had the bratwurst, Mediterranean Succotash w/ Chair 2 Wheat Beer and it was really good!“

“Friendly staff and delicious food/drinks. Highly recommended“

“We lived in Bristol for about 3 years, and we discover this place early. Love the food, and I still tell people about the lobster roll with filet. The drinks were always awesome. Last, the music was incredible that created the atmosphere. Miss this place so much as we had to move away. Every time we are back we go here. Love it and miss it dearly.“

“Ordered here for the first time today and OMG it’s amazing. Everything was good and I’m so happy I finally tried it!! So yummy!!“

“Such amazing flavors was a taste bud explosion! Definitely an under rated restaurant in Newport!“

“cool beer garden and fresh sushi“

“We were her last year and had to stop by again. From North Dakota. Great chill spot. Good music. Good beverages. We’ll be back later this week for their awesome sandwiches. Highly recommend for getting out of the packed places and grabbing a relaxing happy hour.“

“Steph and the team at scratch were SUPERB! Our catering order was perfect (tho we were sad the croissant machine was down) every thing was piping hot (or nice an cool). Everything was SOOO good. Ordering was easy, Steph ensured we had a great variety and enough to feed the post-wedding crowd. We did have breakfast here and it was stellar! Any event you need catered, be sure to check Steph and the team out. You will, NOT be disappointed!“

“Had the extreme pleasure of popping in this morning to try NY Fresh Bagel & Bakery and meet Md, oh my goodness these bagel are delicious, soft and chewy and so good! I got the Asiago cheese bagel with the from scratch homemade scallion cream cheese and I can honestly say this was the best bagel I have ever had. We also tried his fresh squeezed orange juice that was pure heaven and his homemade tuna and that was amazing too, it has a bit of a slow heat kick as you eat it, truly worth the trip as you won’t be disappointed! 100 % recommend. Run don’t walk, support local not a chain and I promise this will become your new favorite bagel spot! Def is ours now! Ty for outstanding customer service, it was absolutely a pleasure to meet you and experience your outstanding quality and fresh homemade food. Xo 😘 we will be back real soon!“

“Iced oat milk latte with chocolate cold foam is perfect for this 93° day! You’ll never get a bad coffee here. It’s always the best around! I own a really nice coffee machine and I’m still driven to go here all the time! They even offer Knead donuts and a pressed juice kiosk and amazing chocolate chip cookies along with light lunch type of snacks, everything about it is fantastic!“

“Great atmosphere and great beer“

“Food and coffee are phenomenal. Service is SLOW. When the owner isn't there, the place is run by teenage girls. They're nice, but only pay attention to people ordering. Once you pay, you're forgotten. You'll sit and stare at your order on the counter for 10 minutes before you finally have to just ask for it. We love presto and will keep going, but just highly recommend ordering ahead.“

“We love The Homemade factory! My fiancée and I are obsessed with it, from the atmosphere to the staff to the food it is all top notch and quality. The shrimp tempura rolls are amazing, the tuna is always fresh and tasty and the tamago!!!!“

“my favorite place to grab a coffee and crochet!“

“Nice service and good coffee“

“Just finished great meal. Huge lobster roll, high quality kids chicken and big beefy kids burger. I had the fish n chips which was amazing! Old Bay fries and what had to be a whole Cod! The best part was Peter N. He was very informative, quick in serving the kids which lets Mom and Dad relax. Such a great day and great meal.“

“Best place ever. Such nice employees and even better treats.“

“Amazing in every way, I’ve been delivering here working for UPS for awhile and decided it was time to check it out. Bluewater did not disappoint and delivered one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had! Can’t wait to go back!!! Five STARS ⭐️“

“This place was hands down the best italian food restaurant i have ever had. The owner tony was a pleasure and so authentic and personable. The waiter service by josh was amazing and he was so helpful with service and opportunities. The food was fantastic and so truly italian. The best italian food my family and I have ever had with amazing service and kindness.“

“Solid local sandwich shop with delicious subs and tasty desserts. Far better than the chains on the island.
Ordered the Italian sub and it was amazing. The OG Sauce had a nice bite to it. Also, highly recommend the cookies at the counter. Got a massive Red Velvet Cake cookie which was scrumptious. Will be back!“

“Finally ate at Rhody Roots last night and the only thing i’m disappointed at is that we haven’t gone in and tried their food sooner. They were so accommodating, our server was fantastic,and everything we ate was amazing!! 10/10 100% recommend!!! Can’t wait to go back!!!“
