50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Madison

“Awesome little spot, never knew anything was back there. Got my wife the nashville hot and I got fish n chips. Both really good.

Parking: tons of parking

Kid-friendliness: Dogs are welcome on the patio.“

“We stopped in on our way to a show in St.Louis and was met with the best hospitality and service. Excellent food and coffee served with a smile and inviting conversation. We highly recommend this very friendly place!“

“The individual that waited on us was fantastic! She was full of energy and enthusiasm and made us feel extremely welcome! It was a little slow when we were there, but I think it was merely because they appeared only to have two on staff at the moment and may have been during a break period. Nonetheless, the service was great! Our drinks were made fresh and exactly as we ordered.

Another thing I truly appreciate is that Dutch Bros stays open later for those that want coffee after 8 PM. All other competitors close by 8 or 9 so the fact that they are open later is awesome!“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Nashville—food and vibes are so good!! Shoutout to Ari for being the best waitress ever!“

“Great hot chicken sandwich!“

“Jam Box is a gem in Nashville. Regularly running fun specials with very creative flavors, this place has a little something for everyone. You can tell the owner prides himself in providing good service and feeding the community. A must try.“

“In town visiting Nashville for the weekend, and needed my weekend coffee. I ordered a lavender Matcha and it was the best latte I have ever had. Mary and Katelynn were the baristas who were very friendly, and provided great service. Will definately be recommending to everyone who comes to town, and will be visiting again!“

“amazing food and staff! The brunch is top tier“

“We had our class reunion here this weekend. We wanted something chill, just mainly a space where we could congregate and people could come and go, but food and beer at their leisure. This place didn’t just deliver, they exceeded expectations! The management was great, we had a space, and we were so well taken care of! I can’t thank Trey and Brittany, and their staff, enough!“

“We had Jaida as our server and she was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and was able to answer all of our questions as well as suggested other fun activities to do in the area. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was excellent. All around this is a great place to visit and eat.“

“The food was delicious and the service was great!“

“Avo in Nashville is a must-visit! The cheese platter is absolutely incredible—perfectly curated and packed with flavor. It’s definitely a must-do when you’re there. The pesto penne primavera was amazing, with fresh, vibrant flavors that really stood out. And don’t miss out on the avocado margarita—it’s a unique and delicious twist on a classic cocktail that you’ll want to try! The vibe is laid-back yet trendy, and the food and drinks are top-notch. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great vegan food and a fun experience!“

“Had the ribs and collards yesterday evening , both were outstanding. Highly enjoyed“

“I don't have enough time in the day to express how great this place is! The food is perfect, environment is a vibe, and service is TOP NOTCH! Every. single. time.

What really makes every visit amazing, is the employees! When you walk in, you're greeted with the best atmosphere. I can go on and on but I'm sure you get the gist by now! 10/10!

TITAN UP! (Go Steelers!)“

“I was in the Nashville location on 1/28 during my visit to the area. It was packed but everything moved quickly, efficiently and the staff was so very friendly to everyone. That didn’t stop just at the start but all throughout our time there. The lady helping us (her name was Isis, I believe) even followed back up with us on something. Her and the manager went above and beyond to take care of us on something we didn’t even ask them to. Btw, nothing happened, they were just out of something, it came back in and they took care of us. A measure most would not do but she found us and made sure to take care. Now THAT is friendly customer service! The food is so amazing, y’all. This is going to be my new joint for every single visit to Nashville from now on. Hot dayum!!“

“Edley’s did an amazing job catering my daughter’s wedding. The service and the food was fabulous.“

“Great service and a very delicious Lebanese food!!!“

“Live music with great food, drinks, & service!“

“Great food great people go there“

“Great experience with the friendliest staff in town. The food is outstanding and well worth a visit. A local’s favorite for sure.“

“We had a much needed date night after a long week away and I’ve really been wanting to try Butcher & Bee in East Nashville. Absolutely a new favorite. Flavors are not for the faint of heart and you’ve got to be willing to explore but their approach to Mediterranean fare was amazing tonight. We did the Chef’s Choice sampling menu tonight and it was SO GOOD. You had to tell your taste buds to sit down and wait their turn while the others spoke for a moment. Whipped feta was more than your traditional approach with a very strong Mediterranean flair. Spicy goat sausage plus the hummus on veggies and the crispy chickpeas tasted great. Then a taste of salads and apps including grilled watermelon and a squash salad that was ridiculous! The falafels were flavorful and not just tahini covered. Then came the goat ribs covered in coffee…so rich and so good. Then some dessert of Ecuadorian chocolate covered mousse with pistachios. All of the sauces had levels upon levels of flavor. I can definitely see where this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but if your taste buds get bored and you need some outside-of-the-box flavors and foods, this should hit your list. Tons of families were there enjoying themselves, it had a very cool, laid back vibe and our server Amanda just topped it all off.“

“The Authentique is a charming French wine bar nestled in the heart of East Nashville, where the warm hospitality of owners Philippine and Alexandre sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. The cozy atmosphere, combined with top-tier customer service, creates a welcoming environment for guests. The menu features a delightful array of sweet and savory crêpes, prepared with recipes passed down through generations, alongside a delectable steak tartare and carefully curated charcuterie boards. The wine selection is impressive, with the option of fun wine flights to complement the exquisite flavors of the dishes. The restaurant also offers great happy hour deals and nightly specials, with the added bonus of live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The overall experience at The Authentique is a true gem not to be missed. Bon appétit!“

“Absolutely delicious! We couldn’t believe the place wasn’t packed!“

“I don’t drink coffee and Elevate doesn’t hold that against me. Instead they welcome me with their AMAZING Lotus drinks. I’m obsessed and the staff is fantastic.“

“Fantastic coffee. maybe the best macchiato I've ever had. the caramel crunch cake is so varied in its layers. rich enough to splice a slice for 2. my partner was very satisfied with the flat white. highly recommended coffee spot. chill atmosphere. fast, kind service.“

“Absolutely, hands down, the best fish and chips I have ever had. Everything is obviously made from scratch (even the tartar sauce). My wife loved it and she isn’t even much of a fish person. Put this place on your list of restaurants to try!“

“We stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon and were thrilled they had 2 for 1 beers! I love the vibe, the scenery, the drafts, and the bartender was very nice & helpful. Also big compliments to whoever takes care of the plants! I've never seen so many live plants thriving like that!“

“Love this place! The food is great, the owners and employees are helpful and super nice. Plus they carry Wynk THC seltzers on the menu which is icing on the cake for me!“

“A nice place, very quiet, it gave me anti-social vibes because everyone was so quiet. This was actually great which created a calm setting.

Kid-friendliness: Yes, but not exactly tailored to children.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“The best sambusa ever I love it“

“I highly recommend if you are traveling for work to pop in here and eat at the bar!! Super friendly amazing bartender Gina was fab! Food was really good and I enjoyed my meal so much! Great dessert menu too!“

“I can not emphasize enough that this is THE BEST VEGAN ICE CREAM ever to have come into existence. Words fail me here, so rich, the best mouth feel and a wonderful variety of flavors. I came from Michigan to Nashville with my partner and this was the highlight of the trip for me!🤤🤤🤤🤤😁“

“Edley’s did an amazing job catering my daughter’s wedding. The service and the food was fabulous.“

“I've been from Tacoma to Tokyo and these are some of the best pastries I've ever had in my life. 5 STARS! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good vibes. Amazing staff. And the food… good grief. I haven’t had tapas so good since I was in Spain. Everything was absolutely amazing and the olive oil cake was out of this world.“

“Absolutely wonderful!!! Food was amazing, the Ruben was soooo good. Clean, fresh friendly staff. 10 out of 10“

“During our stay in Nashville we wanted a good place to eat that was not part of Broadway. Our condo was in East Nashville and we thought we would try something local to that area...and boy are we glad we did!!! This is cute little gem and everything was excellent, food, service, parking and hospitality. If I lived in the area it would be place that I would frequent often!!!

Parking: Plenty, we had no problem“

“Amazing food and service!“

“The best safe place for all of the LGBTQ+ peeps and introverts and extroverts safe too.“

“Edley’s did an amazing job catering my daughter’s wedding. The service and the food was fabulous.“

“We went there for my daughter’s birthday. The staff was very friendly, the food was amazing and even though we was to full for dessert we got some to go.. we will definitely go back…“

“Great burgers and the mayo with caramelized onions was amazing!! Highly recommend it if you come to Nashville!“

“Read about this restaurant on Eater Nashville, so had high expectations. It mostly lived up to it. The Focaccia crust pizza is fantastic, especially topped with burratta. However, the fennel salad was a little bland and grilled dates ok. The restaurant was cozy and excellent service.“

“Had the Big Smack the other day and it was outstanding, perfect crust on the outside of the patties, great toppings, beautiful meat to bun ratio, fries were perfect and the beer was great. Will be back!!!!“

“The service was fantastic. The food was so delicious. We had a variety of food and not one thing disappointed. It is hard to go any where that every bite is delicious but that is what happened here.If you get a chance you should check it out.“

“I currently have cancer, and I have radically changed my diet. It’s so nice finding a vegan and gluten free place! The food I have ordered is incredible, and I have been amazed at how amazing everything tastes. A forever fan now!“

“Burros, Quesadillas, Elote; all delicious!“

“First: I’m extremely picky about my lattes. I am sensitive to overcooked (burnt taste) beans and undercooked (sour taste) beans. I have gone here repeatedly for iced lattes and they have always provided the perfect texture and balance. They are by far (and I don’t say this lightly) providing the BEST espresso in Nashville. Second: What truly makes this cafe great is that it’s the only cafe in town that makes you feel like you’re wanted. All of these cafes built in the last 20 years are hard, cold and sterile. If you’re younger than 40, you probably don’t even remember that cafes used to be warm, social, inviting and a home for many people. New cafes are so uninviting and I feel it’s done on purpose to get you to leave so more customers come in. But the Daily Grind? It’s homey, has couches, the walls are filled with all sorts of crafty love and plants and there’s a poster on the front that lets you know this is a SAFE space for all. It’s reminiscent of the old days when you had warm social spaces where you could spend hours every day with friends playing games, drawing, talking and no one glued to their phones. I hope this cafe gets to expand and provide even more of this nostalgic homey feel and bring that needed community experience back to Nashville. Third: GREAT food and customer service on top of all of the above“

“Been coming here with my wife and friends for 2 years. Love their selection of home brewed ciders! Super relaxing & friendly vibes. I love picking up 4 packs from my local liquor store to support their business!

Parking: May have to circle the block to find some available street parking“

“I had the shrimp and chorizo Benedict. It was delicious! I was disappointed in the hash browns. Personally I like them crispy, but these were mush served on the plate with an ice cream scoop.
The place was cute and clean. It did feel a bit rustic. It was a bit pricey as well. Will we come back? Absolutely!“
