50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants River Oaks

“This unassuming burger joint has amazing food. So much food I had to put half my burger away for later. 10/10 for just the fries n onion rings alone! Best burger in town.“

“Burgers we're great. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The server kept coming by asking us if we wanted to refill our drinks. So nice. The atmosphere is just what you want in a burger joint, kind of down home small town feel to it.“

“Fabulous experience as always. Slammed during TCU Dad's Weekend. Food, service and atmosphere was wonderful. We enjoyed it so much, we returned for an early brunch the next day. So much fun sitting outside watching the FW marathon go right past us.“

“Enjoy the great tastes of Hawaii right here in Fort Worth! Great chicken, rice, mac salad. Recommend the Huli Huli classic! The only thing that could be better is Coke instead of Pepsi. Christian was friendly and helpful! Mahalo!“

“Visiting Ft Worth for a concert and wanted to eat a local place. Great location, service, atmosphere. Flavors were fantastic. Give it a try! Don't fill up on their chips & salsa verde!“

“Kava Culture carries an eclectic vibe—good company, smooth energy, and a chill atmosphere all around. And Mia? She’s easily one of the coolest daytime kava tenders you’ll meet. She brings that laid-back light, a consistently welcoming presence, and an attitude that makes the whole spot feel right. When Mia’s on, the culture hits different.“

“Hannah is the best server food was great“

“I love this place. The owner is so friendly and nice and the ice cream is just awesome! They have the old school snow cones with the crunchy ice that I absolutely love. Me and my grandkids are regulars here. Give them a try if you haven’t already. You wont be disappointed!“

“I love this place! The people are so sweet! The food was fresh and delicious. My boyfriend isn't vegan but he absolutely loved it! We will be back! I need to try everything!“

“Today was my first day of getting to go and try the food. I’ve been wanting to visit for quite some time so my husband and I went on a lunch date. We got the tacos, the loaded potato, the elotes, and the jalapeño poppers. Everything on the menu looked amazing so we had to try a little bit of each. Next time I will be getting the sandwich because the tacos were really dry. Everything else was amazing. Bad choice for my first time eating there, as I passed everyone having a sandwich I wished I would’ve ordered one cause they really looked good. I can’t wait to go back and try something new and the bread pudding. I will stick to the meat and sides. It’s a no for me on the brisket tacos.“

“Excellent burgers and fresh hot fries and the service is excellent“

“Great atmosphere! Cool location and dog friendly. Pups everywhere. Will definitely recommend and be back.“

“The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is warm and Friendly! Our server Monica was fantastic and definitely the reason we had such an amazing experience!!“

“Excellent food and atmosphere!“

“The best shrimp and if your whole family does not like shrimp, it's recommended. You bring whatever they like and eat it at the restaurant no problems“

“The store closes at 10 AM.

I walked in with only glazed and chocolate left and no option to het cinnamon rolls substitute for donuts. Not even if you count it as 2 donuts.

However, the owner is VERY friendly and generous and pointed me to another donut shop nearby.“

“The Medi Dip alone is worth driving here to enjoy!!\n\nThere are many things to love about the Press Cafe, but the best one is a dip you probably have never encountered before. It’s simply addicting.\n\nYou can sit indoors or outdoors on two levels, but only IF you get here before the crowd. You can eat, drink. look out over the Trinity River and watch the people on the Trinity Trails bike path. \n\nThe rest of the menu is good, bordering on great, and then there is Medi Dip. You can get it as an appetizer, but it’s better than most desserts 😊“

“The best shrimp and if your whole family does not like shrimp, it's recommended. You bring whatever they like and eat it at the restaurant no problems“

“Such a variety of yummy options! Love their juices and salads! Wish I could come more, when I’m in Fort Worth again I need to stop by! They are so kind every time I’ve been here. :)“

“The best burger in Texas , I love it“

“Order and pay at the counter, then have a seat and wait shortly for your delicious meal to be delivered to your table. Great value and hospitality await you here at Big Joe's, not to mention the good food. We thoroughly enjoyed a slice of pizza each and we split a lasagna. If you find yourself on this side of town, stop at Big Joe's. You won't be sorry.“

“I’ve been meeting friends there for several months to share good times, good food, and good games. They have a lovely assortment of both foods and games. Their little pot pies are unique and delicious! Plan to meet up with some of your friends soon. It’s a great place to hang out. It would be a great date night, too!“

“This is seriously a great burger, and what a friendly staff! Will definitely visit again next time we're doing AC repairs in Ft. Worth!“

“I love this place, I come often, but please please please bring back the salmon tacos!!! They were my favorite thing to get and I would bring all my friends there just to taste them. I went today to find they changed them to tostadas and was heartbroken! The tostadas left a lot to be desired. Bring the tacos back!!“

“We drive from Irving to Fort Worth to get beers at Martin House. I love the Tap room. My favorite beer is Silk Route. I’ve had a lotta Juicy Hazy IPAs in DFW, but this has been my personal favorite so far.

Also, most importantly, they have the best customer service. They take their sweet time to explain about the beer, special offers at the taproom, and also educate on the available To-Go beer in a detailed fashion.

As a beer enthusiast, I don’t mind driving 35 miles just to get good beer and great customer service.

Special shout out to Jessica, Hailey and Clayton (apologies if I got the spelling wrong). They’re my favorite bartenders. The service I get from them is TOP NOTCH QUALITY..“

“I reccomend this place for a great night with family and friends .Atmosphere is perfect and Moody . We went on a Saturday night at 7:30 pm and sat outside on the patio .The staff is remarkable.
I had the Tomato Bisque Soup which was delicious and creamy and the side salad ,I recommend the house dressing for your salad because it was so tasty . My mother had the tuna salad and she loved it .My Grandson had the lettuce wraps which were delicious. My Sister in law had a burger she said it was good . My husband had the delicious meatball with rigotoni which was so big he couldn't finish .
The drinks were good .
We had wine , old fashioned, Mezcal Margaritas and a dirty Martini .Everyone enjoyed the drinks , oh and a Chocolate Martini .We had different desserts.
The Chocolate cake was delicious .The Pumkin cheesecake was amazing, the Chocolate ( pudding ) was so delicious , just make sure and share it with someone because it is rich !!
The price for everything was so reasonable . We felt like this place was very high end without the high end price .“

“Great $12 all you can eat every Wednesday!“

“My review on google is way longer lol but just know that this establishment is a 10/10!!! The staff went above and beyond to make sure our experience was enjoyable. Kelvin and Josh had amazing service and were very knowledgeable!! Food was great, rock shrimp, scallops, pacific dip, risotto, salmon, oysters, ice cream sandwich, cappuccino and crème brûlée are all recommended!! Highly recommended!“

“I'm a sucker for beer pairings! Maple Branch has it down. The latest pairing was w/wings. Now... I'm not a fan a BBQ suaces, but their BBQ wings was delicious! The beers selected paired perfectly with the wings.
Cool ambiance, great beers, friendly faces.“

“Brisa our waitress was exceptional! Great service all around! The food was fantastic! The cherry on top was the French Press 🤌🏽“

“Loved the Family Feel Great Food and Great Location!!!!! We Loved Every Bit of Our Experience!!!! Thank You Picchi Pacchi“

“We are from Springfield MO. Rodeo Goat is hands down one of the best burger spots around! Their menu is packed with creative, high-quality burger options that are both unique and absolutely delicious. Every bite is packed with bold flavors, and the fresh ingredients make a huge difference. The variety of options, from classic to inventive, ensures there’s something for everyone, including great vegetarian choices. The service is just as impressive as the food. The staff is friendly, attentive, and quick, making sure your experience is smooth from start to finish. Even when they’re busy, they keep things moving efficiently without making you feel rushed. They’re also great at recommending menu items if you’re stuck deciding between all the incredible choices. The atmosphere is laid-back, fun, and perfect for both casual outings and group gatherings. Whether you’re craving a top-tier burger, great fries, or a refreshing drink, Rodeo Goat delivers every time. Highly recommend!“

“Love this place! Dog friendly too!“

“Fantastic burgers! And cold Lone Star!“

“My friend and I got the toasted sea salt latte (if I remember the name correctly). I had iced and my friend had hot. I also got a snickerdoodle cookie! Drinks and food were delish! The atmosphere of the space around the truck and the truck is really cute and also modern and cool! I’d go again for sure.“

“Hands-down, some of the best Taqueria food in the county, and some of the best birria you can find. Run by a passionate leader, and team. Highly … highly recommended.“

“Rachel was fantastic!! Super attentive and patient with modifications made. Her level of attention and care made us feel taken care of!! The food was so good!! Loved the veggie quesadilla and the fiesta fajita. Very flavorful, piping hot and did I mention yummy. This was our first time and we can’t wait to come back. Wonderful service made everything even better!! And the frozen watermelon margarita… was EVERYTHING!!“

“Very good coffee shop in downtown Fort Worth. One of my to-gos. Good coffee. The baristas are welcoming. There’s a beautiful view of Burnett Park and the it’s one of the few shops that stay open late. I walk to it, but apparently there’s free validated parking.“

“soooooo good!! great flavors. the meat doesn't need sauce, but their peach glaze BBQ sauce is fantastic!!“

“The food was great! The dinner rolls before the meal were AMAZING!! It’s a cute little restaurant that is very reasonably priced. I HIGHLY recommend!!“

“I’d take my mom there for a drink.“

“These are the truth. Perfect for a light lunch, just grab 4 or 5 and a bev. Great for a get together. A tray of 30 is only $24 and some change. Worth a drive. Be sure and call ahead to place your order. If you want 20+ it's going to be a 20-30 minute wait. Last time I was there I saw someone pick up an order of 500 and several people pick up orders of 20, 30 and 50.“

“They were so patient and kind and allowed me to sample sauces. I’m never familiar with the choice/familiar with Mediterranean foods but this is great location and food is great. Great customer service“

“It’s the best. Just great food and atmosphere. Been going to Piola for years.“

“I have been here a few times and the food is always good! I haven’t had anything that I didn’t like.

The fish - crispy and full of flavor!
Baked potato could feed 3 ppl
Potato salad - solid!
Ribs
Brisket
The lil jj meat combo …..All are soo good!

Don’t forget about the boom boom candy - a small slice of heaven….I could go on and on.

And did I mention you can get a free drink! I don’t mean kool aid (which they also have) I mean a DRANK.“

“The tequila lime chicken was so so good! The atmosphere was nice. Love a good patio. We loved it. Recommend the cheesecake for dessert. We will definitely be back. 🩷“

“Great local place with friendly service and live music performances. Hint hint.“

“Fun place! Avila’s Casado tacos were so yummy.“

“This is the BESt Torchy’s around! The food is always spot on the service is great! Be sure to stop in and Tyler will take good care of you. Seriously the BEST Torchy’s there is!“
