50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Hamilton

“Very pleasant environs, great place to meet up for a date, wine is just okay.

Beautifully set farm in a lovely area with a tasting barn and ample parking.

Patrons bring picnics and dogs, friendly vibes.

Outdoor tables have great views of surrounding farm and vineyards.

The wine is pricey for its quality in my opinion. The staff are friendly.“

“I recently celebrated my birthday at The Barns at Hamilton Station Vineyards, and it was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I reached out to Susan, their coordinator, I knew we were in great hands. She was incredibly responsive, professional, and accommodating—especially considering we had a large group.

The vineyard itself was beautiful and welcoming. We had such a great time enjoying the delicious wines—each one we tried was truly tasty and well-crafted. The charcuterie baskets were a hit too: generous portions, beautifully arranged, and full of flavor.

To top it all off, there was live music by Chris, which created the perfect atmosphere for a fun and relaxed afternoon. The entire team was so warm and friendly, and they made the experience feel special from start to finish.

My friends and I are already talking about coming back again soon. Highly recommend The Barns at Hamilton Station for any special occasion—or just a great day out!“

“Great wine. Excellent service and atmosphere. 🍷😁🍷“

“My first time here, but this is the best place I’ve eaten in a very, very long time. My family of 4 Adults and four little children all had a great Dinner here. The service was fantastic even though they were down to one Chef, one waitress and one bartender. If this were American Idol, I’d hit the Golden Buzzer. By the way, aside from the great Dinners, the Fiery Mussels were to die for. Best I’ve ever had and I’ve had plenty of them.….. to include famous Berthas at Fels Point, in Baltimore.“

“Ate here for dinner tonight with my 2 boys…we each had a bacon cheeseburger. It was delicious! Hopefully this place has better luck than the last tenant!“

“Their dedication to quality and service makes every visit a memorable one!“

“Walked in and seated at the bar. I look up and see all of this allocated bourbon. I see they have chicken fried steak (my favorite). I of course order that and it surpassed all my expectations. The biscuit was nice and fluffy, the chicken fried steak was made to perfection, throw on top of that the sausage gravy and I was in literal heaven. The service is some of the best I have ever had. If you have not tried Buford’s biscuits you need to!!! I can almost guarantee everything on the menu is amazing!!“

“So good!!! I got a vanilla latte and a bagel, both were fantastic! Service was so quick and everyone was so friendly. Such a cute and fun spot!!“

“We had a wonderful experience at the vineyard! Nancy is an amazing person. The staff were great and the wine was wonderful!“

“Love Tarbender’s! Such a unique spot. Live music on Fri/ Sat, brunch on Sunday. What’s not to love!“

“Took my boys there for the first time today and everything was absolutely delicious - two Deniros and a meatball & cheese sub. I highly recommend it. This is certainly a place we will frequent.“

“One of my most favorite places to hang out with friends and family. The beers speak for themselves and I’ve yet to be disappointed by one! Love the family/community vibe and the staff is so awesome and welcoming. See you soon Wheatland ;)“

“Fantastic rum... my FAVORITE by far! Highly recommend!!!!“

“Wonderful afternoon celebrating my daughter’s birthday. Excellent staff, so hospitable and knowledgeable. We loved the Williams Gap White, blue cheese from a local artisan, and being able to bring a cake!“

“Great food, a lot of great variety here. The service was great, we were sat quickly, checked in on at good intervals, food came quick, and no issues with the orders. Portion sizes for some things were a little off for me personally, the buffalo chicken mac and cheese and the cajun chicken fettuccine both had a LOT of pasta with very little protein, but I'm a bit of a carnivore so I acknowledge that might not work for everyone. Great overall, a solid spot to grab some grub“

“This is such a wonderful brewery. I love the raddler, seltzer, or gose, my husband prefers the more traditional German beers. You can bring your own food in, or enjoy a soft pretzel. They're dog friendly indoors and out which is nice. They also have a nice small front patio and then a bigger outdoor area kn the back. The staff are very friendly as well.“

“Hands down the Best pizza in Virginia! Said is a great host and Chef and he personally looks after every customer as his guest. Wonderful experience. Five + stars.“

“I was the only one there & had a great visit with the winemaker/owner.“

“I've been eating their tacos for years from their ghost kitchen location in Chefscape, and I'm so excited they have their own place now! The food easily held up to my rosy memories from the old location, and the drinks are a wonderful addition!“

“Tuscarora Mill (Tuskies) Restaurant went above and beyond to make our son's High School Graduation lunch special (he is first-generation), even though i only booked a reservation the day before. They phoned me to check his name and printed out special menus as a keepsake and gave him a gift at the end. They were attentive and understanding that by the time he came to eat the stress and excitement of the day suddenly hit him and he was exhausted affecting his appetite. They happily got him a box to take it home without any judgement. The food was tasty and well cooked and staff helpful and kind (they even gave us a choice of table). The main dishes are on the pricier side, so it is why we chose it to mark his occasion. However, we will be back for drinks and appetisers in future.“

“This winery is great if you are looking for a good wine and peaceful place. It’s small but it has a great atmosphere. Their wines are excellent! I love their wine and chocolate praline tasting. We like this place for birthday parties as well as it’s usually not too crowded. Their outdoor is large with many places to sit. The indoor is small with just few tables. But as I mentioned, most of their members typically pick up their wines to go so it’s never an issue to find a spot to sit. The only negative thing I can say is that my kids don’t love going there because it’s not much to do for them, and the parking lot could use a bit of love. But we are members for about 6+ years and we truly like their wines. My family makes wines in Slovakia and I took them there as well and they enjoyed their wines a lot as well!“

“Absolutely the best restaurant around! A great menu and excellent service!!!“

“First visit today. Lovely venue. Nice wine and food. Kids and pets…witnessed a couple with 3 dogs who had no control over them. One pet fight with another dog guest. Then witnessed a small child having her hand bitten by one of the dogs. I hope the owners of the winery have sufficient insurance to allow anyone…especially children and babies, and dogs to enjoy the venue. Great to be family and pet friendly…but is that a wise business decision? Not sure that alcohol, children and pets are a wise and safe business practice…what happened to baby and pet sitters for an afternoon out?“

“Definitely try the Milky Way sundae“

“We were driving by and just happen to see it. Decided to turn around and give them a shot. Place was clean, staff was professional and to this coffee addict, the coffee was a 10!! Will definitely be back!“

“A must Excellent breakfast today, staff friendly, menu delectable, best Americano I've ever had!“

“My favorite winery hands down, amazing selection, love the owner, feels at home... couldn't ask for a better place!“

“Kind staff and great food!“

“Old 690 is definitely hard to find, but most definitely harder to leave! Great everything! Beer, food, friendly staff, ambiance, easy going atmosphere, you name it! We don't get there often enough since we live 90 minutes away but everyone go! You'll be glad you did. Looking forward to Wicked Old Lady Pumpkin Beer like we do every fall!“

“Fun, comfortable place to stop in for a tasting with their knowledgable staff -- try everything, even if you don't think you like whiskey or gin. Everything is very drinkable (especially the Honey Hot Whiskey) and we always end up bringing a few bottles home.“

“Great hard apple cider! Great pretzel’s!“

“A lovely collection of white wines. The unoakef Chardonnay was my favorite. Several wooden picnic tables in a quiet backyard surrounded by trees. The vineyard dog is as sweet as she can be. And, yes, it's a dog-friendly vineyard of course. I would definitely return.“

“The food and environment were spectacular! Definitely coming back for the cocoa.“

“The ice cream is phenomenal! Every weekend different choices of flavors“

“Long post ahead, warning! I walked in around 9 pm and the hostess didn't bat an eye at my dining alone, and didn't say anything about it, which I appreciate. I was seated right away with no problems and immediately got a chance to look over the menu. I will admit, it took a little bit longer than expected for my waiter to come over, but as a lone diner I sort of expected that. I looked like I was waiting for someone, I'm sure. The look and feel of the place was very upscale, but they didn't have any problems with me walking in wearing a nerdy t-shirt. I was seated in this cute little booth for 2 with curtains on the side so, if I wanted a more private dinner, I could have it. It was a cute touch! The restaurant also offered patio dining and since it's by the creek, that would have been a downright charming experience were it not the usual Maryland summer. Despite having a bar, the restaurant was respectably quiet and low-key, making it an easy dining experience. I wasn't in the mood for something wild, and this place really hit the nail on the head. My first waiter Kevin, however, was the picture of polite helpfulness. He answered all of my questions, made some wonderful suggestions, and was incredibly pleasant to talk to. I was delighted to find out that this place takes part in DC restaurant week, so I was able to take part in that promotion. Under a suggestion from Kevin, I ordered a glass of their moscato (I wanted something light and sweet), and the wine was so good I brought home a whole bottle. Not really on them, but it does reflect their excellent selection. Dinner itself was delicious. The red pepper soup was refreshing and flavorful, without being too filling. The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection and was flavored in the perfect way to make the actual flavor of the meat shine. The potatoes were both light and fluffy, but also had the little chunks of potato that I prefer in my mashed. The best part was desert. About halfway through my appetizer, Kevin introduced my other waiter, Maddy, who took over after he went home. She was as much of a delight as he was, and made possibly the best recommendation of the night. Desert was this blackberry tart that I did not have room for but could not put down. Gooey and crumbly all at once, with a warm center that was almost caramel-y even though it was fruit based. Topped with a light cream to balance it all out, it was absolutely delicious. I will be thinking of that tart all day tomorrow. The prices on the menu were a little high, but I wouldn't go so far to say they were unreasonable. If I had wanted a cheaper option, I could have gone to any chain restaurant ever. In the grand scheme of downtown Frederick, with it's many small businesses and one of a kind dining experiences, I think this was reasonable. For reference, a lot of meals were between $20 and $30, but a good steak is almost always $30+. Despite the price, I had an exceptional dining experience, and would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for upscale dining, without the upscale requirements.“

“Lauren is the absolute Best!!! Kind, down to earth, and knowledgeable. Get in her line if you can!“

“The best! They get their salmon fresh everyday and you can tell. Watch the sushi chefs - 6 guys behind the bar working constantly when they are busy. All of their food tastes so fresh and tasty. And their cocktails are delicious! Staff is generally super fast. I eat a lot of sushi and this is by far my favorite place!“

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

“Nice place to grab a beer after work. Good environment, friendly staff, good beer and snacks!“

“Absolutely fantastic food. The entire meal was an experience and one that I will not forget. Chef Jason personally checks in with every table throughout the dinner service.“

“We are regulars at Andy’s. I’m disappointed they removed a lot of their vegetarian items from the menu, which leaves me with fewer choices, but the food is consistently good and we adore Patty!“

“Had a fabulous time here today! Excellent wine selection and the staff was amazing! Elizabeth was so sweet and the gentleman bartender whom is a high school history teacher (didn’t get his name) was great as well! We found our new favorite winery! Stunning views!!! Absolutely breathtaking!“

“We LOVE Brusters ice cream , but this location has been screwing up our order the past few times. The employees also aren’t as friendly as they used to be. I assume it goes hand in hand.“

“Lovely small vineyard that makes you feel at home. They have great wines, steaks, eggs and other food products. We have been coming here for years and always enjoy our time. Bob is amazing and does so much to make you feel part of the family“

“Great brews, huge space, excellent staff. Everything youd want in a spot to grab a beer.“

“My son Jake’s place continues to innovate and grow — DC location opening soon!“

“Thank you for dealing with ALL the nieces & nephews!!“

“Good food as always. Our server Jordan was perfect!“

“I had an event for St Patrick’s Day catered by Spanky’s Shenanigans. If 5 star is the top, this was 10 star. The food was absolutely delicious and more than plentiful. People raved about the Corner Beef and Cabbage and Fish and Chips. The food arrived in a timely fashion and was hot. Kolt the manager could not have been pleasanter or easier to work with. I look forward to future catered events with this restaurant. Cathleen“

“Went there for happy hour a few nights ago, and sat at the bar. Small plates were delish and service was great! BUT THOSE SEASONAL COCKTAILS…. AMAZING!!!!“
