50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Charlottesville

“Love it 🥰 pizza and service are fantastic.“

“Its a beautiful place to be🤩“

“Thank you. Absolute perfection.“

“Decided to visit the city of Charlottesville Virginia with the husband. Found this brewery and decided to give it a try. It turned out to be an excellent choice.

Our bartender Tatum was charming, incredibly knowledgeable about the product and gave us great suggestions. Honestly, their Harringbone NE Hazy IPA is the best I've ever had. With that bright citrus beginning and a smooth ending, it doesn't have the aftertaste that so many hazy IPAs have. I like the fact that they offer a 6 oz pour on most of their beers.

I also had the farro, wild rice, quinoa salad, a tasty blend of roasted veggies, mixed greens, toasted walnuts and a citrus herb vinaigrette, topped with feta cheese. It was very tasty indeed.

If you're in the area, check it out! You will not be disappointed.“

“I promised the owner of this joint that I'd write a glowing review, since I rhapsodically praised his talents in person earlier today, and I'm thrilled to do so.

The Brassica Oleracea is, quite simply, the greatest sandwich I've eaten in my life. It's a delicious mix of carefully considered ingredients that combine perfectly into a sweet and savory blend, and the textures all interplay perfectly. The focaccia is outstanding. And the broccoli is flawless - the char is incredible, and there's not a hint of sogginess. If you're a vegetarian, you'll be delighted. And if you're a meat eater, you'll also be pleased - every sandwich on this menu is an imaginative and delicious feat.

It's bare-bones, and extremely clean. You punch your order into a kiosk, and they have a modest selection of drinks (there's also water with paper cups available). There's a little area outside where you can find a table and eat. If you're looking for a sit-down experience indoors where you'll be fawned over by a waiter, this isn't it. But if you're starving and want a creative and substantial lunch, this place totally has you covered.

I hope The Wich Lab is around for a long, long time, and I'm excited to bring more Charlottesville visitors to this fabulous eatery. This town has so many stellar dining options, but this little unpretentious sandwich place is right at the top of the heap.“

“The food is delicious and if you're looking for the best Cuban coffee in CVille, this is your place!“

“My wife and I had an amazing dining experience at Maya! The food was absolutely delicious and the presentation was impeccable. The staff was very attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The ambiance was perfect, creating a delightful atmosphere for a very memorable meal. I can't wait to return and savor their fantastic cuisine once again. This restaurant is a must in Charlottesville. Highly recommended!“

“I have been seeing so many posts about Mochi Donuts and I just had to have some. Stopped by Moge Tee UVA and was more than delighted with this visit. Very pleasant atmosphere and super friendly service. They seemed so genuine. You can tell that they care so much about QUALITY, because the fresh ground coffee was absolutely off the charts. This is quite possibly the BEST cup of coffee I have ever had in my 5 years of being in Virginia. Now to the good stuff, did I say good? I meant GREAT!!!!! The Mochi donuts were simply perfect. Texture and just the perfect amount of sweet. The soft chewy bite was everything that it should have been. My little princess and I ordered the 3 pack. Strawberry, Mango Coco, and of course the Matcha. Absolute bliss in every bite. If you're looking to get your Mochi fix, Moge Tee UVA has got you covered.“

“My husband and I enjoyed our visit yesterday and were very pleased with all of the wines that we tasted. The fresh baguette and goat cheese were yummy. We had a very knowledgeable server that answered all of our wine nerd wannabe questions 😂 We especially enjoyed chatting with Gabriele he is a very sweet man and the history and stories he shared were an extra special treat.“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“Crazy good breakfast homemade English Muffins!“

“I I love Bodo’s in general, but what have they done to their whitefish and salmon salad? Five out of five for Bodo’s in general, one out of five for the changes made to the whitefish and salmon salad.“

“Omg as a foodie I can say that the food there is just so good everything is fresh and taste delicious. Will definitely come back .“

“Great atmosphere and probably the best burger I’ve ever ate. I’m new to the area and was really looking for something special that reminds me of just home and I found it and more. A must to all the new travel nurses in the area.“

“What an incredible little restaurant. I still can’t believe we happened across it! My boyfriend and I live in DC and eat out quite frequently, and Tavola topped some Michelin star restaurants we’ve tried. We were blown away by the kindness and knowledge of the sommelier and staff, the generosity and talent of the kitchen, and the overall atmosphere and ambiance. Every dish was on point, every service mark was hit, and I could write paragraphs about the wine recommendations. I would rate it more than five stars if I could. Huge thank you to Clay, Caleb, Kendall and everyone else we met for making our night so memorable. If you’re thinking about opening another location I vote DC!“

“LOVE THIS PLACE! It’s fantastic from top to bottom, from Barbie to barn. Can’t wait to come back (probably tomorrow morning for lunch!)“

“Honestly came here for the amazing cider but it turned out to be a very personal experience soley bc of Deena. What a gem she is. You can tell she enjoys her job and her spirit is contagious. She told us the history behind the buliding and the backstory of the two men who created the company. What a way to wrap up a vacation with amazing customer service and delicious cider. We can't wait to come back.

“A delicious lunch today at Cou Cou Rachou. The staff was helpful and croissants mouthwatering.“

“Food is amazing and the staff exemplify that of a fine dining experience but in a casual and fun atmosphere!“

“Awesome brewery!! Very welcoming and great local feel. Don’t really love beer BUT Decipher always has at least 2-3 that I love….pet friendly and veteran owned—-highly recommend!“

“Perfectly executed modern Japanese cuisine. Their wine list and sake options are exceptional. Do ask for recommendations on the Sake flights, they have some real gems. The fish and cooked dishes are impeccably prepared.“

“Bartended at a wedding Blue Ridge Pizza catered and they were amazing. Not just the food being fantastic, but the staff were so friendly, helpful, and professional. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best barbecue in Charlottesville!“

“Fast service good prices and very very very yummy 😋“

“Wonderful experience! Hubby and I visited the tasting room for Valentine's Day. We shared the Reserve flight and Valentine's Wine & Chocolate flight. We took home bottles of four of the eight wines in the flights. The food, corn chowder and a crimini mushroom flatbread, was excellent too. It's all cooked to order & served at the table. Very attentive service. Beautiful setting with sweeping views. I'm so happy that we chose it to celebrate Valentine's Day. It'll be easy to persuade hubby to take me again for my birthday in the summer.“

“Everything I've ever had from Corner Juice has been delicious. Their Dank Sinatra smoothie has been the only nutrients we can get into my mom in the hospital lately. The staff are so incredibly kind and compassionate, I can't say enough positive things about this business.“

“Great service and wonderful live music outdoors. A small selection of snacks is available for purchase, and you're invited to bring your own picnic. The pimento cheese is great!

Tastings are flight format, with brief tasting notes.“

“Ammmmmmmmmmmaaaazzzzzzziiinnnngggggg“

“Our favorite brunch location in Cville. The fried green tomatoes are amazing. Excellent service and selection.“

“amazing food, amazing service, at a most amazing price. we highly recommend. we will be back.“

“Staff were very attentive and helpful with our food and beverage selection. When it got crowded, it got a little loud but you could still hold a conversation. T-shirts and goodies were cheap!!!! Parking was good. I'll go back when I visit!!“

“01.28.25 The beginning of January we had our Wedding Welcoming Party at Random Row in lieu of a traditional Rehearsal Dinner. The outcome was exactly what we were hoping for. It was a laid back and fun environment where 80 of our guests were able to have great pizza and refreshments in a way that brought all of the different families and friend groups together. Cori and her staff from the planning stages until the end of the night couldn’t have been easier to work with and we had great reviews from everyone that attended. They all commented that it was exactly what they wanted and many of the people that were there that had more traditional Rehearsal Dinners for their weddings wished they had done something like what we did. Random Row allowed us to rent out the entire facility for 4-hours at a cost that was very affordable. There were some negotiations during the planning stages regarding costs and operations and even the few places that Random Row was not able to have much wiggle room there was always an attitude of “lets try to figure this out and make it happen.” With that said, they were amenable to most of our requests and budget limits. Without commenting too much on pricing and expectations because those conversations are always unique to each situation, Random Row afforded us 4-private hours and we paid for 2-hours of pizza, salad, olives, and an open bar with our guests opening tabs for the rest of the night. The cost was affordable for a middle-class couple and the experience was worth every penny. We live around the corner from Random Row and have been visiting them for years for a quick pizza and a beer. It has been one of our go-to neighborhood spots since we moved to Charlottesville. Luckily, no matter where we go, Random Row will be part of our wedding memories. Thanks again to Cori, her staff, and all of the folks that made that evening special. Joel Frank and Marie Thomas“

“Amazing cute little coffee shop. I loved the vibes and variety of seating. The mocha latte, italian panini, and refreshers I had we delicious. Baristas were lovely and service was good too~
Love love love ♡♡♡“

“I came with a group of 15+ people and our service was AMAZING. Our reservation was for 8 pm and the food came out extremely fast and the servers were all amazing (especially Vincent!). The food was amazing as well. Will be coming back again.“

“Top notch! Small place but great people and the bartender was awesome“

“Excellent variety of beer, ciders, seltzers from local breweries. The food was awesome too!“

“I've tried another diner that got rave reviews from people I know. And I was sadly disappointed. In the past I've done take out here. I had my little one with me so I did fine in. Sam's Kitchen has the best omelets and chicken sandwich and my favorite crinkle fries. They are child friendly the waitress brought over a coloring book so my little grand daughter could color. Our waitress was and is very friendly and sweet. We will be going back there to dine. I want to try other menu options I know everything on the menu will be just as delicious I can't wait.“

“Fantastic sandwiches! We got take out lunch and it was delicious!“

“We keep trying to give this place a shot and wind up disappointed every time since South and Central closed. Someone gave us gift cards for Dairy Market after we decided not to come back. So here we are again. Maizal won’t take them. Dino’s would, but had to take the gift card to the ice cream shop to debit there.“

“This is one of the best food trucks I have ever had the pleasure of eating at, the owners Ian and Hayley make you feel like you sat down to eat at their home kitchen. Amazing food and great people for sure 10/10 recommend!“

“Stop by this place on a short trip to Charlottesville, my husband and I enjoyed the atmosphere the bartender was very attentive and he took good care of us. The highlight of the day for us was Audrey this girl is not on the payroll but spend a good amount of time at this place, she was extremely helpful we started to chat with her and she gave us recommendations for everything we needed, honestly we have a better time thanks to her recommendations. Put her on payroll and please for us blind people the menu is impossible to read we need bigger letters! But jokes asides the bartender guy was super nice and Audrey is awesome! Will be back“

“This is my 2nd visit to Camellia’s, and I am hooked. Their coffee is VERY good. I basically want to guzzle my latte. Their baristas and cashiers are super nice. Their pastry selection is insane. I’ve now tried three different pastries (no, I didn’t get two although I wanted to. I tried a piece of my friend’s lol), and all were delicious. The atmosphere is cozy, and they have lots of different searing options. You can sit at tables, in armchairs, on couches etc. This is now my new favorite coffee shop, and I spend a lot of time in coffee shops - so they’re about to get to know me really well!“

“Super chill vibe and fun/welcoming atmosphere. Great music and bartender on 3/20. Czech Pilsner and cold IPA were very good. And the best red ale I’ve ever had. A little echoey at times with some loud patrons but definitely worth the visit.“

“Phenomenal wine in a beautiful tasting room setting. We stopped in for an impromptu tasting and we were delighted by the quality of wines offered. Michael Shaps has clearly developed a taste for wine that suits me, and is doing great things with both Virginia and French grapes.

The tasting room is lovely and welcoming, with lots of indoor and outdoor seating.

Bonus! There are FOUR Tesla chargers available with long hookups!“

“We had an amazing experience with Red Hub Catering. They provided our cocktail hour food, reception buffet, cutting cake, bartending service, and Sunday brunch. The food and service were impeccable. For bartending service, Red Hub provided the bar set up and mixers, but allowed us to provide our own alcohol which is uncommon among catering vendors. Red Hub generated a custom menu for our reception that consisted of a nacho bar for cocktail hour followed by a taco buffet for dinner. They also baked a beautiful cutting cake and delivered brunch to the lodge we were at the following morning for everyone to enjoy. Overall an incredible vendor who expertly provided us multiple wedding services.“

“No comments about the food, but, if you reserve a table you better double check. Yesterday was the second occasion when I had reserved a table for a special event and when I showed up on time I was told they were so busy and therefore had no table available. Not good business!“

“Love multiverse kitchens!! Food is always delicious! 😋“

“We love First Watch in Charlottesville!!“

“Outstanding customer service!!!“

“you have to try the foot long hot dog with chili onions and mustard. to die for. The only thing is they don't take credit cards so you need cash“
