50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Norfolk

“Husband took the family out to dinner and it was amazing. Best restaurant we've eaten at in Norfolk. My 3 year old ate the spinach that's how good this place is. The drinks were excellent, the food was extremely well done and full of flavor. No wonder it is regularly booked up.“

“Great food and awesome service I highly recommend it“

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

“Fave coffee in the area!!!“

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

“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. 💚🥰🎄☃️“

“Great time . Big place where you can sit and talk while eating. Great tasting food and attentive servers and staff“

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

“Stopped by for the first time today. Billio was extremely nice & walked us through the whole menu as four tv screens full of options can be overwhelming. There was no rush to make decisions, everything was cooked to order. Appreciate you guys!!“

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

“The Cure in Newport News is such a comfortable environment and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. The Crème Brûlée macchiato was absolutely perfect as well as their “The Hangover Cure” breakfast sandwich. I will definitely be coming here again!“

“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“

“Best coffee in downtown Norfolk!“

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

“Great food, great service“

“Good smoothie and was made relatively quickly. First time coming here and definitely will be back.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“Delicious and fresh amazing tea and desserts“

“Excellent fresh, made to order poke bowls. They have other Hawaiian items but I only like poke. The large bowls have three scoops of fresh salmon, tuna, or spicy tuna. You can have over fresh salad greens or brown or white rice. I’m very picky about raw fish and this was excellent. Very nice people serving. Very casual - more of a take out place. Will be back!“

“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.“

“We drive from Chesapeake once a week just to get Salmich’s. Best burgers around!!!!“

“Clean, clean,clean. It was very refreshing to walk into a clean establishment.

Service was fast and friendly. Staff was willing to help without the attitude. Only assistance and smiles.

They allow you to sample all of the options if needed before you order.

Soup: Loaded Potato-AWESOME
SANDWICH: Cheddar and bacon melt on chicken salad- So good

I will definitely be back.“

“Came to be surrounded by cats and instead was surrounded by people who just wouldn't leave us alone and were being loud. We kept standing up and walking elsewhere to get away from them and they kept following us and surrounding us and talking about inappropriate things like furries, loudly, I believe to harass us and make us feel uncomfortable being there.

Edit: Reached out to staff and they apologized and validated seeing that happen and I appreciate the way they handled things after the fact, just wish somebody did something while we were there if they saw this group of people acting weirdly towards us“

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

“We were in town for the night and a friend told us a out this place. OH MY I am so glad we went. Its a plate of big flavor. My husband had the chicken I had the filet..We talked to the chef after, very impressed and alot of experience under his belt. Wow is all I can say. We wish this place the best of luck“

“We love Domoishi! The poke bowls are super good - with all sorts of choices to make your fave.“

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

“The bartender Brian went ABOVE and beyond. If you’re looking for the sweetest, most accommodating, positive bubbly bartender this is where you go. ALWAYS go see brian!! We will be back to see him. If there was 10 stars…he’d immediately be above and beyond that.“

“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.“

“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“

“The food is superb and the customer service is an A+++. Definitely try the Mac and cheese and the brisket burger.“

“Best little brewery in 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.“

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