35 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Allen

“I dined at Mi Cocina yesterday and it was a wonderful time. Amber was our server and she was efficient and friendly. We enjoyed our food very much. The atmosphere was pleasant and we never felt rushed. I will go again and hope Amber will be my waitress.“

“Amazing pizza!!! owner is so friendly!“

“My friend and I had lunch at Lazy Dog on 9-23-25. Crystal was our waitress. She was exceptional. She made some fantastic recommendations, attended to our needs but was very thoughtful and respectful of our visit together. She was an absolute joy and our meals were so good!“

“The food… delicious!!! The chicken soup is so next level, I can’t describe how much I loved the soup. Nothing like I’ve ever had in my life. The fish and chips with jalapeño hush puppies are delicious. The burger is outstanding. Can’t say a bad thing about the food. The beers. WOW!!! The brewers are mad crazy inventive with the beer. I did a flight of 4 for $10. Limited myself to just the 4 because I had to drive. If I hadn’t been driving. I probably could have tried another 8, they all sounded so good. Good thing I don’t live in the area cause I’d probably go broke eating lunch and dinner every day“

“Great Italian food. Excellent fast service, pleasant Italian atmosphere. This is definately one of our go to places for lasagne. Plentiful servings of all dishes. Good value. Place gets crowded quickly so suggest getting there early unless you dont mind a wait. Quite popular.“

“amazing food, excellent courteous staff. owner personally visit each table. very clean and relaxing ambiance...highly recomended.“

“Great food and friendly team. I had the double chessburger and added bacon and that was too large a meal. Buns are soft, food is fresh and don't waste your time to go big because the single would have been enough. They need add some sports on a TV or two for weekend sports and that would have sent it over the top.“

“Never had St. Louis-style pizza before (uses provolone instead of mozzarella) and is now one of my favorite styles. The crust and sauce are fresh and flavorful. I spoke with the owner and the sauce recipe is a long-time family recipe. They don't use Sysco produce and bring in fresh to make everything they can from scratch. Staff is friendly and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Been there many times and never disappointed! The food is GREAT and is just like back home... NYC. If you want the real thing... this is the place.“

“Large selection of items, very busy but in a good way, very sweet employees, egg white veggie omelette, toast with avocado, and oatmeal all were delicious 😋, and I will spread the good words!“

“Promenade is such a nice cozy café. The owner is friendly. She acknowledges us and welcomes us back everytime we go there. I thought that was a very nice personal touch. They have a varied selection of pasteries, coffees, bubble teas, and smoothies. They have just the perfect blend of atomosphere, quick friendly service, and a light breakfast. It is such a treat for my kids when we stop there on our way out. 😋“

“Torchys is one of my favorite places to eat. The environment and food are both so amazing. Prices are nothing crazy at all. I love it.“

“The food is delicious, and everyone is super friendly and helpful. I love the barbecue, the fried catfish, and the fried okra. All the desserts are fantastic, especially the banana pudding and the bread pudding.“

“This has been our go-to neighborhood Tex-Mex joint since moving to the area a year ago. Consistently solid food and service. The house frozen margarita ($12) is outstanding, includes a splash of Gran Gala on top, and is served in a beautiful glass. Just $8 during weekday happy hour ('til 6:30) and $6 all day Monday. The salsa is one of the best I've had. Tacos al Carbon, Chepa's tacos, and brisket enchiladas are always excellent. The only disappointment has been the enchiladas verdes with carnita meat (gristly and oily).
Service is friendly and efficient; a manager always seems to be present to ensure this. Atmosphere is better than most Mom & Pop Mexican restaurants.
If you pick up a To Go order, I would check it before leaving as we've had items omitted from orders in the past.“

“Good food. The manager was nice and explained the offerings.“

“Good beers on tap good place to hang after work.“

“We had hummus and pita bread as an appetizer. The pita was hot, freshly made, and the hummus was delicious! We had a grilled sirloin steak, veggies and rice, and grilled lamb chops with veggies and rice. The veggies were steamed and fresh. The rice had a wonderful flavor to it. We will certainly be back, and highly recommend it. The atmosphere was great, as it is a converted two story house. Our room was simply decorated with pictures and well designed color scheme.“

“Boardwalk Bites was an absolute hit at our Fall Fest! Their team was quick, efficient, and super friendly, even during the busiest times, there was hardly ever a line. The food came out fast, hot, and absolutely delicious. You can tell they really care about both quality and service. Everyone was raving about their menu! We can’t wait to have them back for our next event. Highly recommend Boardwalk Bites for any festival or gathering!“

“We went to Kelly's last night for a Birthday Party. Food was great! Our service was unbelievably fast and accurate. Jordan was our server. Thank You for a wonderful evening!“

“I had the Nutella & Stuff w/ the Dubai Matcha Frappe and topped it off with a muffin, it was absolutely amazing. I'll highly recommend this to everyone who is interested good desserts and coffee.“

“Every dish we ordered the taste was very very good. From the brisket to dessert to potato salad and the beans. All was tasty. However, they did forget my chicken strips and fries, but that happens sometimes on a to-go order ... Had no problem reimbursing me the next day, but then forgot my ranch, so go figure? Highly recommend them for the taste, but make sure you check your bag(s) that you got every single thing you ordered before you drive home and find something missing. Always a major frustration. Will continue to frequent. 5 stars.“

“Food was hot but not seasoned well. Staff was friendly and attentive“

“It’s a must when we have dinner at Watters Creek. Plus today’s service was excellent“

“So I’m from out of town and decided to visit this restaurant, and oh my goodness, I am beyond grateful that I did. The food was absolutely delicious, but what truly makes this place special is that it’s not just about the food, it’s about the entire atmosphere and experience.

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. Not the standard “hello, welcome in” kind of greeting, but a genuine warmth that makes you feel like you’re stepping into someone’s home rather than just another restaurant. The environment is cozy, inviting, and full of character. It has that classic Italian charm that makes you want to sit down, relax, and truly enjoy your meal without feeling rushed.

Now let’s talk about the food. Every bite was packed with flavor. You can taste the freshness in the ingredients. The sauces were rich and perfectly seasoned, not overwhelming, not bland, just balanced beautifully. The portions were generous, more than enough to satisfy a serious appetite. The pizza was cooked perfectly, with a crust that had that ideal combination of crisp and soft. The pasta was comforting and full of depth, like something made with care, not just thrown together. This is the kind of meal that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate how good it is.

But what truly elevated my experience was meeting the owner, Sammy. What an absolute gentleman. It’s rare to meet an owner who is not only present but genuinely invested in making sure every guest feels welcomed and satisfied. He carries himself with kindness, professionalism, and humility. You can tell he takes pride in his restaurant and truly cares about the people who walk through his doors. It felt like more than a business interaction, it felt personal in the best way possible.

As someone from out of town, I can confidently say this place made a lasting impression on me. It’s not just somewhere you eat, it’s somewhere you experience. The combination of incredible food, welcoming atmosphere, and leadership that clearly values hospitality makes this restaurant stand out in a major way.

If you’re anywhere near Allen, Texas, do yourself a favor and visit. Whether you’re local or just passing through like I was, you’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. I know I will be back.“

“Menudo and tacos were good. This was our trip! We support our local restaurant!“

“We love staying at this property and Jonathan has always taken great care of us. Thanks so much😊“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely hands down the best food I’ve eaten in Texas so far! I’m already planning to spend my birthdays here for years to come if all goes to plan. The staff are exceptionally kind, the cooks nailed the meat perfectly … especially the moist tenderloin. 😋🤤 Out of this world! Their hot BBQ sauce is worth every penny if you can grab the big bottle.

We came on a Sunday after church and still found plenty of seating, even a party room in the back. As a carpenter, I appreciated the gorgeous handmade tables… solid wood, 🪵 sturdy, and beautifully finished. The atmosphere was welcoming for my big family, and the staff at the register even let me sample meats before ordering. Once I tried the ham 🐷🐖🐽 and then the moist tenderloin (like filet mignon! 🥩), I was sold.

Better than Hardee’s, twice the food for half the price,💲 and no long lines. Nearly as spacious as Buc-ee’s, with plenty of room to enjoy. Truly heaven sent food… 🥩🍗
“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm 34:8, NKJV). Rudy’s, you’re killing it… in the best way! 🙌🔥“

“I come here every now and then and when I do they have great service, foods, and creative shakes. I love the food and it's affordable food and the food is very tasty and fills me up.“

“Cute little place with delicious pasta! I have tried different pastas they serve and all of them were on point!!!!!! Service is also great, Eduardo was very polite, friendly and had great recommendation on the menu. Also service is quick, so if you are using the Tesla Supercharger, this is the best spot to stop. I wish they could open a location in Fort Worth because that is where I live!“

“Food was delicious! I got the red curry chicken, hubby got the peppered steak, and my daughter got the fried rice with flank steak! Meat was super tender and the service was top notch! We normally get it to go but decided to dine in today! Great experience! Definitely a must try!“

“Margaritas are awesome! As well as the Queso!! We had a blast!“

“I just started going to this location bc it's on my way to work and I don't leave early enough to go past my work to my usual location.

I was pleasantly surprised. The store is a bit smaller than I expected, with a smaller staff. They worked just as hard as a staff of 6. They were like a well oiled machine. It took a few mins to get my order since I came at a very busy time of morning, but my coffee was deeeelicious.
I am particular and look for a certain taste in my coffee order. They hit it on the head. :)“

“We hosted our family reunion at The Hub and it was an awesome experience! We reserved the cantina area of Macho Taco and had a catered fajitas buffet. The food and drinks were delicious, and everything was set up perfectly for our group. Special shout out to Jennifer, Cameron, and Collin,they were all fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend for any gathering or celebration!“

“All I can say is WOW! Jaime, first and foremost, provided absolutely amazing service. She greeted me with a bright smile the moment I walked up and kept that same positive energy throughout my visit. My order was taken quickly, and my latte was ready in no time — perfectly made, smooth, and delicious. The combination of fast service, genuine friendliness, and top-notch quality made this an experience worth coming back for!“

“Such a great experience tonight for dinner. We had great service from a girl named Caroline.“
