50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Denton

“Spent a fun afternoon on the patio and enjoyed some amazing wines! Super friendly and knowledgeable. Our server, Ariel, was so helpful! We joined the wine club. Can’t wait to go back! 😄“

“I stopped in with a friend. New to Denton and obviously we were new. The attendant gave us an intro to Kava and a sample to share with us. Enjoyed the visit a lot and the helpful staff. I never leave tips and I ended up doing so. Well earned.“

“I love this place, it’s only minus one star because I wish the hours were extended because when you’re having fun here you don’t want to leave early from this place. It is super cute and so many places to sit and play games. It would be cool if they offered a trivia night, but that’s just wishful thinking. I love the fact they offer drinks here and we have brought our own charcuterie here to munch on while playing games. Definitely fun place to be at.“

“Great place to unwind and relax“

“One of the best coffee shops in DFW, and hands down my favorite espresso in Denton. Family-owned with an amazing staff and an owner who truly cares every visit feels special. The fact that it’s attached to a bike shop makes it even more unique. It’s always an inspiring moment for me to stop by, whether I’m looking for great coffee or just a little creative spark. Highly recommended.“

“It’s such a cozy little place for morning coffees, the atmosphere is just so welcoming and the second floor seating area is such a cool experience. Great customer service, super helpful with questions about app services, and delicious coffee and bagels (my favorite is the cinnamon sugar bagel)!“

“Good food good prices!! Recommend this place for anyone!“

“The atmosphere, the vibe, the music is on target. The waitstaff is very knowledgeable and pleasant. The food did not disappoint.“

“Sidney is great .personable and takes care of the customer needs“

“This is by far my favorite pizza ever! We found them accidentally as we were looking for food delivery late night and they were one of the few open and we are SO happy we found Zalat! The pizza is amazing. Always fresh, reheats great and the unique flavors are just perfection. Don’t forget about the dipping sauce they add. LOVE!!“

“Love this place! Foods always hot and plentiful. Prices are great for the food you get, awesome margs.“

“I love their chef salads made from any of their foot-long subs. The staff is friendly always smiling when you walk into their shop.“

“Was delicious!!! Coffee is well balanced. Food was wonderful! Hummingbird bread should be a permanent menu item!!!!“

“The food is impeccable and atmosphere is amazing! Cant go wrong with anything on the menu! 5⭐️“

“Everytime I've been here the food is amazing! They have a great selection of toppings for your pizza. Service is always really great too, my fav pizza place in Denton!“

“Takeaway: go try their damn food!!

We sat outside and staff was kind to wash the tables and chairs tho a dry rag would have been better since it rained😂 BUT food is soooo delicious!!!
We went on a Saturday around noon. It was easy to converse with each other. Curious as to why it wasn’t smashed on a Saturday? I know they host events and live music from time to time which I would love to be able to attend one of these days.“

“The food and service was spectacular! My daughter is Autistic and the manager took the time to bless her/us with a free pancake. Our waitress was awesome. My husband and I are in our 50’s and the crowd there was a younger, hippie vibe but we were made to feel extra special. And I LOVED the hippie salad! We will be going back! Thank you!!!“

“excellent quesadillas for a reasonable price 👏“

“Good cocktails, laid back vibes, cute puppies 💕“

“Really cool bar with live music and a stage, a huge courtyard outside with sitting areas and even little outdoor couch cubbies to hang out with your friends or significant other! There's hang out and sitting space inside too, of course. There are pool tables and darts as well as TONS of drinks on tap and in bottles and cans, plus good mixed drinks...this is now my new favorite place to grab and drink and hang out in the cool atmosphere of this little hidden gem 😁“

“We have been meaning to try this place for awhile but just weren’t sure. Wow! I’m so glad we did! Everything was sooooooo good. And I do mean everything, from the wings to the whole chicken to the sides (we tried four sides and four sauces) right down to the picked radishes. The wings are thick and juicy and the crispy coating on the honey garlic wings is amazing…literally the best wings I’ve ever had. Even my brother (who hates everything) ate a whole plate and said how good it was. The staff/owners were so friendly when we went to pick up. We will definitely be returning! If you haven’t tried it yet, that is your loss! I wish I would have taken pics but we ate it all so fast, we only would have pics of empty boxes.“

“We had the La Fondita food truck cater a celebration luncheon at our church. The food was delicious and the employees were friendly. We’re hoping for another opportunity to hire them again!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jack’s Tavern is home base for my dart team in Denton, and it’s a great place for league nights or just hanging out. They’ve got free darts, free pool tables, cornhole, video games, and plenty of other ways to stay entertained. The drinks might be a little pricier, but the food is good, and they mix things up with karaoke nights and live bands that make the atmosphere even better.

What I like most is that Jack’s feels like more than just a bar—it’s a spot where teams, friends, and families can all feel welcome. If you’re in college and want to bring your parents out for a night, this is definitely one of the better choices compared to other bars in town. All around, it’s a fun, friendly place with something for everyone.“

“When you say RG burger we’re talking about one of the best burgers in the world

“Aftershock Rebel….yessssss!“

“So far the biggest Crawfish I have found this year. The alligator is very good also“

“❤️Love Jupiter and I have going there on and off for 16 years. Forgive me for being a little selfish in my suggestions, but it would be cool to have a 12oz option (16oz minimum is too much For me personally) and it would be nice to have coffee served in ceramic cups when having coffee there on premises.“

“Cake was a hit. Sweetness is just right. Very accommodating and responsive.“

“YUMMMY!! So fresh and many options!“

“the food and service was excellent“

“Let me tell you what when I saw it was five dollars per pop. I was kind of hesitant, but as they say when in Rome and I’m telling you what I was highly surprised completely amazed so much that I looked into getting a franchise of these back home, I spoke with the owner of this franchise here, Kirk Super awesome guy told me all about the business but what really sells it is all the different flavors and the quality of a gourmet popsicle. This isn’t cheap little popsicle truck with cheap popsicles. This is high-quality good stuff.“

“cool place. they really have done a nice job with the outdoor heaters , and all of the staff is very friendly“

“Coldest beer in town with the most enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and friendliest staff in Denton!“

“SO good! Loved the food, atmosphere and staff were super kind! We tried the Birria Tacos, Barbacoa tacos, and el pastor taco! All were so delicious! They were busy but we got our order in and food brought to us quickly. Definitely will be coming back!“

“Passed by many times but finally tried it out today with my mom. Absolutely delicious! The ranch style beans alone are worth a visit. Generous portions. I'll definitely be going back.“

“The people at Eastside are like family. I can’t say a negative thing about Eastside or the people there. It’s like my second home. I will forever be grateful for them.“

“My boyfriend's favorite place❤️“

“I ate here for the first time yesterday, and was so glad I did! We enjoyed sitting outside and our server was very friendly and fast bringing our drinks and food out. The cornbread and butter app was great. I got the choose 2 lunch special with tortellini soup and chicken salad sandwich and both were amazing. My son had the truffle Mac and cheese and it was also very good. We had a great experience and will definitely be back!“

“Great atmosphere and they are very helpful when needing help on my first time.“

“I have to shout out The Pickled Carrot for thier vegan (and allergy) friendly options and their customer service. I ordered a Bahn Mi sandwich with pork, and did not realize it had an aioli until after I took a bite. I have an egg allergy (thankfully not anaphylactic!), so I approached the truck and explained my mistake. I was willing to pay for another sandwich for my own mistake. The guy said it was no problem to make another one, AND they had a vegan garlic aioli as well that I could have. The sandwich was 10/10 perfection. I will definitely come back. Thank you so much for having vegan and allergy friendly options and kind enough to fix a customer’s mistake.“

“Great service! Delicious food & nice views!“

“my dog and I love walking over to zachs for shaved ice! I love the pickle flavor combos and they always make my dog a little pup cup with whipped cream and shaved ice. the staff is always so friendly and quick too.“

“Sweetwater’s Cafe off of Teasley is hands-down one of the best local spots in Denton! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the warmest smiles and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Absolutely incredible coffee — smooth, rich, and brewed to perfection. You can tell they take pride in everything they serve. The service is exceptional. The staff is attentive, friendly, and genuinely cares about your experience. It’s the kind of place where they remember your name and your favorite order — that rare, personal touch that keeps you coming back. Sweetwater’s isn’t just a café — it’s a community favorite, a local treasure, and a place that captures the heart of Denton. If you haven’t been yet, you’re truly missing out. Do yourself a favor and make this your next stop. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Tacos were good. Street corn was better“

“Sidewalk Cafe is our favorite place to eat in Denton county. We have not had one thing to complain about, the food, service, and the cleanliness. Sam is great in the kitchen but SUSIE Is the sweetest friendliest owner we have ever met! Very reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. The best pancakes ever! Always have to get a to go box.“

“visited The Greenhouse in Denton, Texas, on Friday, July 25th, and really enjoyed the experience. The interior has a great casual dining vibe that’s perfect for conversation — relaxed but refined enough to feel like a treat.

Our waitress struck the perfect balance of attentiveness: available when needed but never intrusive. She gave us excellent recommendations when we were torn on what to order.

Pictured are two of our entrées:

Honey Chipotle Salmon – This was the table favorite. The salmon was glazed with a rich honey chipotle sauce and served alongside jack cheese mashed potatoes and broccolini. The dish was clean, flavorful, and well balanced — the richness of the potatoes was offset beautifully by the glaze. I could honestly put that glaze on anything. 😂

Stuffed Chicken – Filled with poblano pesto and jack cheese, this chicken dish was topped with a creamy poblano pesto sauce and served over the same jack cheese mashed potatoes. While tasty, it felt like it was missing something — maybe a pop of acidity or a marinade to liven up the chicken. Still enjoyable, just not quite as memorable as the salmon.

Overall, we had a fantastic dinner. The wine was great, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect for a quiet Friday night out. I’m sure we’ll be back sooner rather than later.“

“The rosemary bread was awesome. I highly recommend the Californian Club. Nicely done with the 6ft restrictions. The bonus was that they had Pepsi products.“

“The staff is very friendly and the food is very delicious! 10/10“

“We have been coming to MiCasita for over 25 years!!! Great prices, friendly owners and staff and yummy food!!! Plus they have a drive through!!!“

“Great place for pool and drinks. Bartender Brooke did an awesome job handling a strange situation with billing my brother and I (same last name and card appearance; reasonably and underconfusing). Very neat place with friendly staff.“
