42 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Denton

“This place was super chill and I will definitely go back. My only hesitation to visit was wondering if it was dog friendly. I did not see anything mentioning outdoor seating or being dog friendly. The most disappointing thing about my visit was arriving after dropping my dog off at home only to find that it is in fact dog friendly and had 2 dogs inside. The drinks were good and tasted better than the straight Kava I have made at home in the past.

Kid-friendliness: Don't bring your kids here. No official rule. I just say so.“

“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!!“

“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! 😄“

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

“Great place to unwind and relax“

“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)!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Aftershock Rebel….yessssss!“

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

“Great service! Delicious food & nice views!“

“My nickname is Jack so I thought it was appropriate to visit Jack’s Tavern for a quick drink while dealing with a toothache. Even though I wasn’t there long, I had a good experience. The place was clean, had a nice atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Even though it was late and almost closing time, they still took the time to chat and even recommended another spot nearby for my wife and me to check out. It’s always nice to come across bartenders who are actually pleasant, which isn’t always a given. I appreciate the hospitality and would definitely stop by again.“

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

“excellent quesadillas for a reasonable price 👏“

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

“Ambiance is so good. Live jazz on Tuesday night. Outdoor games for the kids. Earl Mar-tea-ni was beautiful and delicious. The food was very good, not mind-blowing, but well worth the prices. Very nice fruit cup with the kids’ meals. The service was excellent, even with just ordering at the bar. Very attentive and helpful! Hard to find places to afford a night out these days, so this is an absolute gem. Will be back for sure!

Kid-friendliness: Many outdoor games and fenced in open space to be able to move around while waiting for the food“

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

“Don't let Google fool you they don't serve food but they are absolutely the best atmosphere. Wish more people knew about them but as an introvert I love it when I go and there's only like 3 people lol

“❤️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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Tacos were good. Street corn was better“

“I go here often & their boba is amazing. one of the employees was kind enough to give me, my son & fiancée an opportunity to try one of their new bubble pop products for free, which was great. she was so kind and will be back without a doubt :)“

“We have four adults and three kids for dinner. The food was delicious, from the artichoke dip and pan seared pork dumplings to the pasta, steak, and salads. The server was very attentive to our needs and ensured our drinks were kept filled and the food came quickly. I travel weekly and in 26 years have never eaten at a hotel restaurant without staying at the hotel, this was my first time and I highly recommend this place.“

“I myself have not even been here but friends of mine from Denton have described his place as a sort of food haven, surprisingly tucked into a bar. They’ve described the place as having crazily cheap food ($1 per wing, $3 double shots, $3 huge amount of curly fries, $1 shots on special nights, etc.).“

“Lovely owners, service and food is delicious! Love to host networking events and happy hours here with our business owners as the place is big and also have different atmosphere in every corner!“

“Very comfortable location. The service was excellent and the food was wonderful! I enjoyed the meal.“

“The food is always amazing!“
