50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Earlysville

“As members of the design team for the New Hark Vineyard Tasting Room, we had the pleasure of getting to know the Harks throughout the design and construction process. Their care and passion were evident in every decision — from the big-picture vision to the smallest details. That same dedication shines through in the quality of their wines and their commitment to cultivating community. We couldn’t be happier for them on this latest accomplishment, and we’re deeply grateful for their trust in us, and for their investment in our local economy.“

“Love it 🥰 pizza and service are fantastic.“

“Thank you. Absolute perfection.“

“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!“

“Very cool place with an interesting selection of sandwiches- you can tell a lot of thought and care has gone into dialing in the sandwiches offered here. Was only in town for a day really- but glad we chose witch lab for one of our meals- only wish we had been in town longer to try out the whole menu.“

“Yeah this place is great. The food is delicious, fresh, flavorful, local, from scratch, incredible wings, smash burger, etc… kale salad hello why is kale salad so good like craveworthy…the food goes well with the beer (which is also really amazing) and service was on point. Love the Czech beers. Tatum was really great bartender really attentive and personable as were the rest of the staff. He made sure we had what we needed and made good recs. We have only been here a couple times but after tonight will make a point to come here more often. Also really appreciate the TVs at the bar and the power outlets below. Very nice!“

“I come here all the time and I really like it!! I always get coffee or milk tea with boba and cheese foam… always fresh and tasty… tend to not put much ice even at 100% ice, which is a plus for me. I’ve never had trouble getting a seat inside, but the building is often pretty noisy at opening time/in the afternoons. Parking nearby is difficult but that’s just normal for this part of town. Really really glad to have this shop, such a great treat. :)“

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

“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 .“

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

“Best taco truck in Ruckersville!!“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“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!“

“Best barbecue in Charlottesville!“

“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!)“

“The food is fresh, with the taste of home. The service is outstanding. Servers are gracious, polite, and hard working. I love this place!“

“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.“

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

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Amazing views from the patio. Very nice Sauvignon Blanc.“

“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!“

“I’m not one to leave reviews, small baby and little time! But this coffee shop necessitated looking up how to leave a review. It’s THAT good. Service was exceptional and welcoming. My husband loved the cinnamon and honey latte! My in laws both love coffee and very much so enjoyed their drinks as well. The kind barista made sure my mother in love had the perfect amount of cream to how she likes it. I love chai lattes and try them everywhere I go and this was probably top 2 if not #1 chai I’ve ever had (and I’ve probably tried over 100 different chais!) Might just make the trip back to Charlottesville just for this!“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“Food was excellent. If you are going to charge for a bread basket that is the way to do it. Amazing. Chicken and shrimp perfectly cooked. Service was meh. Our server was also the bartended and never checked on food once it was dropped. My drink frequently sat empty (so much so that other servers filled it with pity). I was ready to cash out and get the check and my card sat on the table for over 10 minutes with our dishes done.“

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

“We stopped in because we were told they had a Tannat. Sarah greeted us and, upon asking about the Tannat, she immediately opened one. It was delicious- all of the characteristics of great Tannat. We then did the red flight. Absolutely some of the best reds we have tasted in Virginia. And Sarah was a great hostess-knowledgeable and very accommodating. Love this place.“

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

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

“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!!“

“Just tried for the first time. Smothered tots, brunch burger (I think it was called T's Smashburger), and Oreo cheesecake cups. Everything was delicious! I will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Outstanding customer service!!!“

“Fantastic food, great atmosphere. 10/10 recommend. Their trivia night is a blast and their vegan and non-vegan offering has something for everyone.“

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

“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.“

“Rotating craft beer selections daily.“

“Food was good, But its quite expensive for what you get. I order scallops and shrimp with white rice. What i did not know is it came with more veggies than anything. I received 3 shrimp and maybe 3-4 scallops with LOADS of veggies and a small container of white rice. For 20$ I would have liked to seen more meat but the quality of the meal was very good. Also I had a older menue so Items were a few dollars more than I expected. Overall very good food, staff were nice and it was a good meal.“

“Ammmmmmmmmmmaaaazzzzzzziiinnnngggggg“

“I had a great experience at Playa Bowls Charlottesville! Meme and Shawna were super friendly and really helped me choose the perfect base and toppings for my smoothie bowl. The bowl and my cold brew were both delicious. The restaurant is very clean with cute decorations and a great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!“

“I cannot speak for the food, but the coffee is some of the best I’ve had in America. My husband ordered a macchiato and I grabbed a vanilla iced coffee - two things that can be easily messed up. The iced coffee was perfection. The vanilla tasted real, was not overly sweet, and complemented the coffee perfectly. The coffee wasn’t overly acidic and had been brewed well - it wasn’t burnt tasting like many local roasters. The vibes were chill, there’s a ton of space to hang around, and the staff were delightful!“
