50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Keswick

“A great atmosphere and friendly employees. Our bottle of wine was delicious“

“I recently attended a wedding at Castle Hill Cider in Keswick, and it was absolutely spectacular—even when nature had other plans! A fierce Virginia thunderstorm rolled in, complete with lightning and heavy rain, but thanks to the venue’s excellent planning and back-up indoor spaces, everyone stayed completely dry and comfortable. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines scenic charm, excellent event infrastructure, and a team ready to handle anything—even Mother Nature—Castle Hill Cider is an absolute winner!“

“Its a beautiful place to be🤩“

“Crazy good breakfast homemade English Muffins!“

“It has a great and welcoming atmosphere. It is very student friendly with WiFi available for customers and is also not too loud. The drinks itself are very creative with a Wide variety of choices, my favorite one would be the brown sugar boba. Definitely give them a try!!“

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

“Best barbecue in Charlottesville!“

“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!“

“Thank you. Absolute perfection.“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Our family loves Wahoo BBQ!! The food is excellent, the staff is so friendly and kind. Lived in Texas for several years and we know good Brisket. Wahoo is a favorite for us.“

“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!)“

“A popular vineyard as was getting crowded as evening approached - live music Fri evening. Pleasant afternoon, super nice staff, and top tasting wines. Love the natural flower areas! Could use a little more shade cover on the patio in the hot Summer as the umbrellas are not enough coverage when it hits 85 and up. I really wanted to sit among the flowers but not possible. They had pop up tents - would have been great to have a few in this area. Will come Fall or next Spring and will be perfect.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Best tasting wines in the Charlottesville area (that we have found thus far). To reasonably qualify my opinion, as a stranger the internet- This is my wife’s and my third trip to the Charlottesville area vineyards, and we have drank wine at vineyards around the world. Trust me- you should go to Chestnut Oak.“

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

“Utilizing BRPC for our rehearsal dinner proved to be a great hit with our bridal party and families! The gluten-free accommodations elevated the event, and we appreciate their sensitivity to our guests. Their spread was delicious and had so many options to choose from! Whether you are gluten-free or enjoy all the gluten in the world, BRPC will exceed your expectations and leave you craving more!!!“

“Southern Comfort food at its finest at an affordable price. I highly recommend!!!“

“Limited seating inside but more outdoors - area is covered. Standard small brewer with a limited but diverse selection of beers. Food is available - some items from MarieBette Cafe. Ordering is done at the bar. Bartender was knowledgeable of beers.
Bar adjoins 5th Season Gardening store. Be sure to stop in either before or after Rockfish. It's a great shop with lots of unique items as well as gardening supplies. Large parking lot of side.
We will definitely visit both places again.“

“Not too long ago I discovered Sk Coffee and I’m already in love with it. Not only do you get greeted with smiles but you get great quality coffee. Sk coffee is a great place to go to if you want a quiet environment for studies etc. I 100% recommend this to anybody!“

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

“My son and I visited Twisted Provisions for the first time today at MJH. We both got the chicken sandwich, which was totally awesome! Those French fries are the BOMB!! We are so looking forward to our next visit! Thank you for lunch today. It was delicious!“

“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.“

“I'm staying in town for work, and I've been trying to find a place with good food and beer to hang out at that isn't just geared toward UVA students. I've stopped here twice and it has a great atmosphere, great beer, and the food from the restaurant next door that they serve is so good it's ridiculous.“

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

“Firefly always provides delicious food and exceptional service from kind people! Their tots are the absolute best! The food is consistently cooked well, and the menu has a lot for those of us with gluten allergies and those of us who are vegan/veg. We recommend the tatchos, plain tots, vlt, sweet potato fries, any soup of the day, the portobello sandwich, and the jackfruit bbq (though I haven’t had it in ages - next time!), and the brownie sundae (available gf&df!). The best thing about Firefly is the people! (They also have awesome pinball!)“

“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!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Something for everyone!“

“Great pick-up/ drive thru only location . They are fast and friendly; my only 2 priorities when I crave my morning cup!

Wheelchair accessibility: Walk up and drive thru only location , order/ pick up window adjacent to handicap parking .“

“There are so many fantastic restaurants in Charlottesville near the downtown mall; we’ve tried many but Tonic is our favorite because of the creative and fresh menu, delicious drinks and al fresco vibes. Our favorites are vegetarian creations like grits and Brussels, and unique special soups. Last night we tried a new appetizer with ricotta, apples and caramelized onions served with artisan sourdough (chef’s kiss)…“

“Rotating craft beer selections daily.“

“The sandwiches were awesome yet expensive! There is really no atmosphere or service to speak of since we served ourselves, but those sandwiches were incredible for coming out of a sandwich rack. The iced tea is very good too. Not too sweet.

Wheelchair accessibility: I saw wheelchair ♿️ ramps.“

“This place was wonderful! I have both dairy and gluten allergies, and they were easily able to accommodate my needs. The outdoor patio was spacious and lovely, and people were super nice. The food was delicious and we will come back over and over again!“

“Awesome staff and food. Can’t wait to come back.“

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

“A great place to bring the crew when no one wants to cook and everyone is hungry. No one is disappointed, the prices are relatively reasonable, everyone can order what they want and the food is consistent. The service is usually fast and attentive (in my thirty or so years of coming here I’ve had slow service maybe one time). I love to sit by the fountain on the nice days and watch the traffic go by. But we ate the past couple times inside and enjoyed the air conditioning. I try hard not to use the bathroom bc it’s so small and inadequate so be warned. Otherwise once you know what you like it’s a good place for a quick and easy meal and the kids are usually happy with a jarrito and taco.“

“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!“

“Never had a bad time here.“

“Ammmmmmmmmmmaaaazzzzzzziiinnnngggggg“

“Nola food and drink and great people!“

“Lobster bisque was yummy! Pimento with chips and bread also delish!
Food came out without silverware. Inexperience server but that’s more the establishments prerogative…
lively- Lovely ambience! Affiliated with DAVE MATTHEWS from Dave Matthew Band, On a nice strip on mall. Outside seating is available.“
