50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Norfolk

“Great food and awesome service I highly recommend it“

“Long time vistor, first time reviewer. Ilo is a must go and dine. We went a couple of weeks ago and had a top notch meal. The service was incredible and the food was to die for. The head chef there is a wizard in the kitchen who crafts the most decadent meals. The salmon was best salmon I've ever had and my wife's gnocchi was right up there. If you're ever in Norfolk go there and give it a try. You won't be disappointed.“

“Fun little shop in downtown Norfolk. Great crepes and coffee! Will be back!“

“The food here is excellent and the owner is very welcoming and friendly. We would definitely recommend!“

“Unexpectedly delayed in Norfolk and happened to find this gem! Absolutely delicious! This is stuff you dream about. So freaking good!“

“Another excellent meal at Omar's Carriage House. The pork belly fried rice had just enough heat to it but not so much as to overwhelm the flavor.“

“They go above and beyond: I joined my book club ladies for dinner last night at Press 626. I have some mobility issues and was advised to take the back steps upon arriving. I was well assisted up the stairs and taken to our table. The servers could not have been more pleasant. When it was time to leave one of the female employees assisted me down the front steps and to my waiting car. They made me feel very comfortable and welcoming. Thank you so much.“

“This is my new coffee supplier! Great coffee and amazing people!! MR. Chris and the whole staff are amazing! Highly recommend!“

“Norfolk Botanical Gardens is always a yes. I finally had the pleasure of visiting the Holiday Lights Display. The trail is walkable for all age groups and abilities. (There are benches to sit on all along the way). I highly recommend it, for a memorable experience. 💚🥰🎄☃️“

“Kimchi and spicy peanut noodles hotdogs were crazy!!! Highly recommend!“

“Amazing Food and Restaurant environment. I am glad we chose this place over Chick Fil A. Restaurant is family oriented and family ran, owner gave us freebies for a disruption in the store. Personally apologized to us.“

“I love the atmosphere at Coasters coffee . I always enjoy my time there and appreciate the baristas recommendations as well.“

“The ham cheese and dijon mustard bagel is delicious. And if you get a latte, try the banana bread while it’s in season! - taste just like a piece of banana bread. 10/10 highly recommend“

“This location is fast, clean, and the workers are super polite. Been here a bunch of times and for the price it’s especially great! I hope the prices don’t go up too much like everything else has recently!“

“Warm, inviting, friendly venue to talk fly fishing 🎣🗽🇺🇸“

“Best coffee in downtown Norfolk!“

“My wife, our grandson, and myself went to Saltines on Valentine’s Day which is also my wife’s birthday. Reservations at 7;45 and the seating arrangement was perfect. Kyle was our waiter. We could not have gotten a more perfect waiter. Kyle was extremely polite and was very attentive to our needs. The drinks he served were perfect. The food served was above par. He even wished my wife a happy birthday and made sure she had everything she wanted. Kyle is the sort of waiter that you look for and hope for. He was perfect for our little celebration. My thanks to Kyle and thanks to Saltines for employing someone such as Kyle. Kyle will be our waiter for future dining at Saltines.“

“Such an incredible experience! Popped in unexpectedly and we have found a new spot. The space is gorgeous and so open. I had the lavender coffee which was just mind blowing and hubby had the vanilla cold foam. We will definitely be returning!!!!“

“Thanks for the best coffee drink I’ve had in a really long time! See you soon.🙂“

“Edit: After coming here more, it has become my favorite spot to pick up food. I'm a fan of their smoked musubi. Every time I go, I try something else on their menu. And I have no complaints. I wonder if the reason I keep going, despite nothing standing out about the place, is the easy going atmosphere and consistently good food.“

“"Sandfiddler Cafe is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance is cozy, perfect for a casual meal or catching up with friends. The menu boasts a variety of delicious options, from classic breakfast fare to creative lunch specials. Each dish is prepared with care and bursting with flavor. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure your experience is nothing short of fantastic. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Sandfiddler Cafe is a must-visit destination. Five stars all the way!"“

“I came from northern Virginia 3 hours away to visit Norfolk and we stopped by penguins in my opinion the mango flavor with mango pieces was the best combination out of everything.I recommend this place to everyone in Norfolk either live or visit penguins and they are way better than the slurpee at 7-11 cause they don’t have the natural fruit like penguins does.“

“I’ve eaten here now 5 times. Gone for an evening date, family gathering of 8, and a regular dinner for 4 out and about in town. They can accommodate anything. The food is excellent, creative and unique. Staff is nice and helpful, and hardworking. This is a staple for me. Parking on the street hasn’t been a problem but also garages are available or uber if you are enjoying the neat drink menu.“

“The best sushi In norfolk. I have been coming here since 2017.“

“Delicious and fresh amazing tea and desserts“

“Best little brewery in Norfolk.“

“OMG...absolutely awesome Manny's cheeseburger combo. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked. The burger looked like a Burger King (they can't even get theirs to look like that) advertisement and tasted better. The french fries were fresh and hot. Great meal.“

“The best burgers and mozzarella sticks!! Highly recommend!“

“Every flavor is delicious. Bread pudding is the secret jam. S'mores Amore is a Downtown Norfolk staple!“

“Been a favorite brewery of ours since the beginning. Always have a great beer selection no matter what type of beer you like and Proven Theory may be the best IPA on the planet!“

“Decent Mexican food, but the last time we were there the beans were not good. They were the consistency of baby food. Prior to this we have never had any complaints. Always excellent service, super fast! Too bad their patio wasn't built out back instead of on busy, ugly Little Creek Rd. A good go-to, neighborhood place.“

“Had to check this place out after seeing it on Triple D. Was worth the trip. Easily the best Cubano I’ve ever had, even after living in Florida for nine years. Food came out hot and fresh too. The fries tasted great with both garlic aioli and this hot persimmon lemon cranberry pepper sauce that was at the table. Will definitely be back if I’m in the Norfolk area again.“

“My husband and I were in Norfolk on vacation. I was so excited to see there was a cat cafe in town! The space was open and very clean. The staff were incredibly kind. It was also kind to have a space with complimentary beverages. Highly recommend to anyone nearby or traveling through to have some mellow kitty love!“

“THE FOOD! Can’t wait to visit from MD and have more!!“

“The Spicy Fiesta Burrito is ridiculously good and it is truly quite spicy. I always get a side of both the green and red salsas and they are also perfect. This place is almost always busy and the indoors only seats maybe 10 people or so, so I always order mine carry out. Only complaint is that they will not make ANY modifications like adding cilantro, but Highly recommend!“

“☕️ 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Such a cool place; excellent location. Parking 🅿️ too‼️“

“The atmosphere and people are so welcoming and the coffee is perfect! The food is delicious as well. Super cool place I will support any day of the week“

“I wasn’t sure what to think of a restaurant that was all about chicken salad, but I’m so glad we tried it! They have a great variety of flavors and styles, and we sampled several of them before deciding on the ones we wanted. It was so delicious that we came back for dinner the very next day! The chicken salads are amazing, and the side options are delicious as well. The staff at this location have all been super helpful and kind. Definitely will be back…with friends!“

“Longboards is a family friendly restaurant that is top notch with a surf and turf menu that is sure to have everyone in your party satisfied! A wonderful selection of food and really great drinks! Service has always been great. It can be busy at times but the servers treat you like you are their only table. Hands down, this is a place you have to try. Great prices and every dish is well thought out and cooked to perfection!“
