50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Bon Air

“I highly recommend Front Porch for those who are gluten free. I am extremely sensitive and I had no issues. The GF bread was normal size! The Reuben was yummy, the potato salad was delicious and creamy, and the pound cake was so so good!!“

“How can something be so beautiful and so yummy at the same time?! I absolutely love Perk for their coffee drinks, gluten free bagels sandwiches, their staff is the best… you def gotta check em out!“

“I love the donuts and customer service was amazing“

“Excellent pastrami, great people, and a truly welcoming atmosphere. The owner and staff are amazing - you can tell they care deeply about creating a warm, community-focused space. I love coming here with my family and bringing friends along - it never disappoints.“

“We had a great time and had delicious food! Our waiter Trey was amazing!“

“Run, don't walk to Con Salsa! Seriously great food. Each order made fresh. The bowls are phenomenal and the arepas and empanadas are the best we've ever had. And the sauces...OMG the sauces. The garlic and the red sauce are honestly some of the best condiments I've tasted. Thankfully, they sell the sauces too! I do wish there was indoor seating as it is getting colder, but they were doing a brisk takeout business when we were there. Do yourself a favor and try Con Salsa. Everything we have tried is amazing.“

“Every time we are in Richmond, my husband ensures that we stop by to grab a meal. EACH AND EVERY TIME!!!!! Great food and I absolutely LOVE the desserts.“

“My pop came through town about two weeks ago. He said he wanted to grab lunch. I work nearby, and knew he loves a good burger. I was concerned because my mother (who loves cooking, loves learning new recipes, but has her classics and go-to’s, makes his burgers) would never hear the end of it, if the meal was awesome. Well. I was right. So my mom and my pops came to town and wanted to have dinner, with me and my partner. After politely asking us recommendations and subtly dodging each place my partner and I mentioned. My mom asks, “Where did you take Daddy for lunch?” We ended up hanging out and chatting while the staff started to close up. Great food. Every time. Great fast friendly service. Every time. Need a restaurant that your parents like to get them to visit? (Probably not) but THANK YOU, EAZZY BURGER!“

“Love it. Great food and fun people. I highly suggest. Even my own magic bunny (Conejo) loves the food here.“

“Best birria egg rolls in Richmond Virginia, food was exceptional 💯💯🫶🏾🫶🏾“

“Love eat 33 small hidden gem for many years!!!! And their soups and grilled cheese!!! Yasssssss!!!!“

“Best street tacos! Service was amazing and the food was delicious! Cannot wait to go back!“

“My absolutely favorite bubble tea, especially their house milk tea they make themselves. The slushes and fruit teas are also delicious and they've entertained a few custom drinks for us when we feel adventurous. Can't beat the price and location either, and the folks who run it are SO sweet. Love love love LOVE TT“

“Here for the first time on my daughter’s 48th b’day, wanted to support a small business today, and was not disappointed. After a short wait, (10 min), the food, service and atmosphere was amazing & fun. Highly recommend this place.“

“amazing bread and quality. I've bought laofs meant for the week and haven't seen Wednesday because they are so good it's hard not to work into a meal. fluffy light and perfectly baked!“

“This place is so incredibly creative. It was a great choice for a group of 5. Everyone one found something they wanted.

The waffle options were so amazing. I had the berry crunch waffle with a tater tot waffle. And the combo of sweet and savory were so perfect together. Their cold brew was really great.

Staff was so kind and helpful. Really just a wonderful spot for brunch.“

“Crumbl Cookie is a game changer! The variety of flavors is incredible, with each cookie baked to perfection. They have a perfect balance of chewy and soft textures, and the creativity in their seasonal offerings keeps me coming back for more. The staff is always friendly, and the warm cookies right out of the oven are a delightful treat. Highly recommend the classic chocolate chip—it's simply unbeatable! Crumbl never disappoints; it's my go-to for a sweet indulgence. Five stars all the way!“

“Now I know why this place got a 4.8 rate, the food is good. Seafood fresh, crabs are sweet, and the serve is on point....Yes, the outside needs some improvements, but I'm not eating outside anyway...don't let looks turn you away from good food and great serves...this place deserves a 4.9 rating now...“

“This place checked almost all my boxes for brunch spots;a variety of Benny's, specialty cocktails especially ones with flowers, moonshine, and sparkling, chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy; stuffed French toast, and avocado toast. Ambiance was great; the building is an old school movie theatre. Both the food and service we're amazing; Jessica was handling her business!“

“This was a great atmosphere, great waiters, and delicious food! I highly recommend this restaurant!👍🍷“

“clean, fast, friendly & delicious“

“We love their commitment to great food, their spirit of innovation, and the many gluten-free options they offer!“

“Ice cream was so creamy. It was probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had.“

“We had two of the specials tonight - lamb stew and salmon. Delicious and bountiful meals and wonderful desserts (as always).“

“Excellent stop for our lunch. Brisket was incredible. Creamy max & cheese was delicious. Will definitely stop again!“

“This place has a great atmosphere and the staff is wonderful. We were just driving through Richmond and decided to stop here for a bite. My husband had the brisket sandwich which he said was fantastic. I had the trainwrek that was so large and outstanding I couldn’t finish it and have leftovers. The food is fresh and has exquisite flavor! If I’m ever in Richmond again I will be returning.“

“Bartizan Events Venue was the perfect choice for my mother's 80th birthday party this weekend. The entire experience was outstanding, thanks to the venue's wonderful staff. From our very first meeting, they were professional, accommodating, and made the planning process a joy.

On the day of the event (August 9, 2025), the staff was incredibly attentive, and they went above and beyond to make the day magical for my mother. Guests were blown away by the food, and I've received countless compliments. One cousin even asked me if I thought she could get the recipe for the chicken!

The venue is conveniently located in Glen Allen with easy access to street parking and free public garages. I'm honestly a little sad the party is over because I loved working with Rachel and the team so much. I'm already looking for another excuse to host an event there. Bartizan is a definite five-star, full-service venue that I would recommend for any special occasion.“

“This place is definitely a hidden gem in RVA. Both locations have great food that is always fresh, never salty or processed. I order to-go and they are always fast. I usually order the salad with either chicken or salmon. Tonight I ordered the lamb, chicken, rice, veggies and hummus for my mom and I tonight and everything was delicious 🤤“

“Lovely place, lovely people, and lovely tea of course 💕.“

“Fresh bagels, awesome service. I think they also make homemade cream cheese- my favorite is olive cream cheese. So delicious! Breakfast sandwiches and coffee are excellent too. I’ve always wanted some coffee cake or treat but haven’t made the plunge yet.“

“Terrific staff and beer as always. New set up is terrible. Nobody wants to have a full service brewery. Nobody wants to have to reserve a table. Please go back to original set up. let us sit where we want. order a beer when we want. If we want full service we will go to the restaurant side. This may work at the other locations, but Richmond isn't Charlottesville. This was our goto brewery, today's has us thinking differently now“

“Great breakfast, lunch sandwiches are great!!“

“This place is awesome! Great service, great food. My go-to every time I’m in Richmond.“

“Love this place! The staff is so welcoming and top notch, the atmosphere is cozy, beer is great, and there’s always something fun going on like trivia, food trucks, quesadilla place next door that will deliver your food there, live blue grass, the farmers market in the parking lot. Shout out to staff Jose and Jack! They are the best!“

“Burger’s are out of this world!!!“

“Great local coffee house with tasty food options. I’m always in the mood for all-day breakfast items when I’m on a work trip, so I tried the pork sausage, egg and cheese on sourdough toast, and a delicious latte. Food and coffee were outstanding. It’s obvious the staff puts care in the prep of every sandwich. The toast was toasted perfectly with the right amount of crunch, eggs were lightly seasoned with pepper before whisking, and the cheese was nice and “melty”. Get your order “for here” , and Chill to the beats of new and old school jams while you enjoy this little local gem.“

“We had such a great time at trivia night at Väsen. The questions were actually fun and well thought out, probably some of the best trivia we’ve played in terms of variety and challenge. This spot is also my husband’s favorite for non-alcoholic options, which means a lot since he doesn’t drink. It’s one of the few places where he still feels totally included in the vibe while we’re out having fun. Great beer and great energy.“

“I had them do 24 cupcakes for my Mom’s 75th birthday and they not only looked amazing, they tasted amazing! I got so many compliments on how good they were and I definitely pointed them to Smallcakes!“

“After reading all the great reviews, I wanted to check this place out... and I wasn't disappointed! It's a quaint, little onigiri shop with a very friendly & welcoming atmosphere. There are so many Japanese touches everywhere for those eating inside at their limited seating & those ordering to go. The selection was simple - mostly Japanese rice balls with various types of fillings for everyone to find something you'd like. I highly recommend the spicy tuna if you can handle some spice, but two onigiri are just right to be filling for a simple lunch. I can't wait to stop by for some more rice balls the next time I'm in the area!“

“What a gem this place is! We got a variety pack of 8 empanadas to go. We got excellent directions to cook them, they were packaged perfectly and they were DELICIOUS!! We are so pleased and the customer service was friendly, efficient and wonderful. We cannot wait to return and will tell everyone about this fabulous eatery.“

“We come to Shagbark when we visit our kids here in Richmond. Everything is always delicious and the service is wonderful.“

“So good! I'm vegan and there are numerous vegan options. I've had a vegan minty Milkshake, vegan protein pancakes and a vegan taco breakfast meal. All were some of the best food/drink I've ever had. Cool vibes. One of my favorite restaurants 😍 I attended the location in Tysons Corner“

“Best street style tacos in Richmond. Everything is fresh and full of flavor. They have a hot sauce bar, the drinks are really good and the vibes authentic. Nelson did a great job with branding inside the restaurant, staff is friendly and be sure to try the local Mosto tequila. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican this is the spot.“

“Found this gem while looking for a brewery that was open early on a Sunday, and had food. Mostly indoor seating, but it's a lovely space looking into the brewery. Staff was excellent in explaining the brewery history, the beers and the food. We ordered all the apps and enjoyed them all. Then we got a little creative and ordered the chicken strips to tear up and put on their mushroom pizza, as they don't offer additional proteins or toppings. Both were excellent. Only downfall was parking, but we did see something down the alley that may have been for the brewery.“

“Always a pleasure to visit Millie’s! One of our favorites!“

“This place is amazing. Last week, I ordered one of their bowls and took home ramen for my husband. He loved it so much that we went back this weekend. Even the kids ate the food (manic and cheese and plain ramen noodles), which almost never happens. The staff was super accommodating with our requests to adjust the order for the kiddos. We also loved the patio and ate outside while it rained, so that was cool too. Two thumbs up from us 👍👍😊“
