22 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Crozet

“Stumbled upon Whistle Stop Grill and the Stoney Creek Freedom Fest this weekend. We had their Maple bacon burger and it was so good we had to get a second one the next day for lunch. I definitely recommend trying.“

“we went on a Sunday during Polo which we had only seen in the movie pretty woman. the entire experience was incredible. we did a red and white flight of wines and they were so enjoyable we did a second flight struggling with our favorites. the staff was extremely friendly and made a couple there for the first time, feel like family.
we fully recommend trying the place out for yourself.“

“Wonderful wine, quiet and beautiful location. My husband and I enjoyed our picnic lunch on their patio with our sweet dog by our side. We even bought a couple bottles to go. There was an issue with the order but they went above and beyond to correct it quickly. We definitely plan to return!“

“A family member lives in this complex and we always eat here when we stop by! So much so that we dropped something off at her house yesterday when she wasn't home, ordered food to go, and drove an hour home to eat it! They are always so incredibly nice and accommodating... And the food is legit delicious!“

“DO NOT miss the Smoked Kitchen. During a recent "leaf peeping" drive from Richmond, we visited Crozet in time for lunch. First, the location is easy to find and easy to park. Second, they welcome dogs. (A real plus.) But MOST IMPORTANTLY the the food is top notch and the service can't be beat. The pulled pork is the best we've EVER eaten. (I don't use CAPS very often.) Speaking as Virginia/North Carolina customers, that's quite a statement. It's dry, lean and melt in your mouth. Plenty of sauces to choose from if you wish. Absolutely terrific. We bought A POUND to take home. No kidding. The smoked chicken salad sandwich was excellent. And the beer - well, what a nice addition to a great meal.“

“We got here a bit early. We were on vacation. The bartender was super helpful and friendly. Enjoyed the 5 beer flight and ordered a few. I liked the sours, my wife likes the Hef. Couldn't have asked for better service. Locals were friendly and we had an enjoyable time! Thanks for everything.“

“We used Restoration as our venue for a family wedding. It was fantastic! An outside covered patio with stunning mountain views for cocktails and appetizers. Then an event room with windows on three sides with views for our 50 person dinner, ceremony and reception. The food was excellent and plenty of it. Krista and Haley were a joy to work with on all the little details that made the evening such a wonderful success. It was easy to have vendors come in to set up the cake and flowers too. Krista is very accommodating and genuinely wants to help create special memories of a special day. 🤗“

“The Department of Pediatrics at UVA had an absolutely fantastic experience hosting our department holiday party at Pro Re Nata! The venue was warm and inviting, the setup was seamless, and every detail was thoughtfully executed. Special thanks to Nora, the event coordinator, who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Her organization, professionalism, and friendly demeanor made the planning process a breeze. From the decor to the accommodations, Nora and the team exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Pro Re Nata for any event—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Literally once a week fave spot. ❤️“

“We hosted my graduation party here and had a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. The venue was beautiful and created the perfect setting for celebrating with family and friends. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great event space and exceptional service!“

“We spent our weekend exploring different vineyards and wineries, and this was our absolute favorite! Tucked back off the main road, so an intimate and relaxed feel! Great views and amazing wines!! Jessa helped us with a tasting and was so knowledgeable and friendly, it was like being with an old friend!! Cannot recommend them enough!“

“Absolutely beautiful late afternoon at Septenary Winery at Seven Oaks Farm. The Carriage House 2019, Delicious!!!“

“My partner wanted to stop on 151 for a lark so we randomly picked this winery. I don’t like to drink and I’m gluten free and I found a non alcoholic drink and a snack I liked - overpriced but grateful for the options. The wine he ordered was good. There are a bunch of big windows with sunlight streaming in which was lovely, but a bird flew into one while we were sitting next to it, so I hope they’ll consider adding a little decoration so the birds can see not to fly into the glass.“

“Great products and lots of choices. Beautiful location. Many varieties of apples. Great owner and staff!“

“We decided to try this winery since the other one we had chosen was closing. The two way one/one way Road(as I call it) un-nerved me, but I kept calm and kept going, as the signed said. The Winery was VERY charming and the flights of wine looked so inviting, but we were very hungry and at 2:30, they were out of the charcuterie and I couldn’t enjoy the wine in an empty stomach. Didn’t think I would make another trip down that road, but because of the beauty of the location and the reviews of the wine that I wanted to taste so badly, I will make another trip one day😊“

“LOVE Wildmandan Brewery! The craft beers are delicious and there’s always something new to try! Great atmosphere and Terry and Dan are the best hosts!“

“Ive been there twice after a backpacking trip and I love the service, food, views and beer“

“Great wine and outdoor seating! They’re very dog friendly, but I wished they enforced the on leash rule a bit more. We had our dogs on leash and two dogs off leash ran off to greet us. One of our dogs doesn’t react well when off leash pups run up to them. And we had to physically pull the new pup off ours, and the dog owners weren’t even near by. I think they were the owners dogs or the owner knew them well. They were very sweet, but I wish the rules were either enforced for everyone or there was an off leash area.
But again, the wine was good, the staff was very friendly, and the environment was nice to sit outside. Recommend!“

“We had an amazing experience when we visited Flying Fox. Tralyn was so informative and pleasant. We spent about 2 hours with her and left with 6 bottles of wine. We can't wait to return. We Left there and moved on to Veritas Vineyard for lunch. (Sister winery)!!😋☺️😁“

“Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards is a dream setting for a wedding! The mountain views, vineyard vibes, and beautifully designed spaces create such a romantic and elevated atmosphere. We've had the honor of performing here and are always blown away by how smoothly the events run, thanks to the kind and attentive staff. It's truly a venue that makes every moment feel magical.“

“This is a must visit winery in the Charlottesville area. It is one of the most beautiful vineyards I have been to. They have a great selection of wine and the staff was very friendly!“
