50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Richmond

“Excellent and knowledgeable service by Rae for dinner!! Lightning fast service. Delicious apps and pasta entrees. Highly recommended.“

“Love it. Great food and fun people. I highly suggest. Even my own magic bunny (Conejo) loves the food here.“

“Loved it! Perfect atmosphere and drinks for families with kids“

“Terrific staff and beer as always. New set up is terrible. Nobody wants to have a full service brewery. Nobody wants to have to reserve a table. Please go back to original set up. let us sit where we want. order a beer when we want. If we want full service we will go to the restaurant side. This may work at the other locations, but Richmond isn't Charlottesville. This was our goto brewery, today's has us thinking differently now“

“Union Market is a great lunch spot! I’m a big fan of the indoor/outdoor dining, and the neighborhood market feel. The vegan club sandwich was fantastic, but I will always be a fries over chips gal. Richmond restaurants lack parking lots, so it can be tough to find decent parking. I would return, and I am interested in trying other menu items and drink options!“

“While in this area of downtown Richmond for work a co-worker and I stopped in for coffee and to get some work done…. Staff was very friendly and the place looks beautiful. Like places like this where they update and renovate such older structures and make then useful and beautiful for today’s clientele!

Coffee was really good… Plenty of seating… They have a bar too and it looks like a fun place to be in the evenings!“

“My pop came through town about two weeks ago. He said he wanted to grab lunch. I work nearby, and knew he loves a good burger. I was concerned because my mother (who loves cooking, loves learning new recipes, but has her classics and go-to’s, makes his burgers) would never hear the end of it, if the meal was awesome. Well. I was right. So my mom and my pops came to town and wanted to have dinner, with me and my partner. After politely asking us recommendations and subtly dodging each place my partner and I mentioned. My mom asks, “Where did you take Daddy for lunch?” We ended up hanging out and chatting while the staff started to close up. Great food. Every time. Great fast friendly service. Every time. Need a restaurant that your parents like to get them to visit? (Probably not) but THANK YOU, EAZZY BURGER!“

“Absolutely Everything Single Aspect .....“

“Super friendly and fast service!! Our first visit and staff was very helpful!“

“The food truck outside was superb. Food was beyond of this world“

“My friend got me a boba while I was at work, and the employee working was very concerned that the drink wouldn't be as fresh as it could be, since it wasn't until later that I could drink it. He so generously put it in a chilled bag, and it tastes amazing! Thank you so much for excellent service as always :)“

“Here for the first time on my daughter’s 48th b’day, wanted to support a small business today, and was not disappointed. After a short wait, (10 min), the food, service and atmosphere was amazing & fun. Highly recommend this place.“

“Crumbl Cookie is a game changer! The variety of flavors is incredible, with each cookie baked to perfection. They have a perfect balance of chewy and soft textures, and the creativity in their seasonal offerings keeps me coming back for more. The staff is always friendly, and the warm cookies right out of the oven are a delightful treat. Highly recommend the classic chocolate chip—it's simply unbeatable! Crumbl never disappoints; it's my go-to for a sweet indulgence. Five stars all the way!“

“What a great find for a short trip to Richmond. If you’re in the mood for simple yet great breakfast - this is the place. Waffles, eggs and delicious coffee. No matter what you get, they will not disappoint and the service is also fantastic.“

“Ice cream was so creamy. It was probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had.“

“This place has a great atmosphere and the staff is wonderful. We were just driving through Richmond and decided to stop here for a bite. My husband had the brisket sandwich which he said was fantastic. I had the trainwrek that was so large and outstanding I couldn’t finish it and have leftovers. The food is fresh and has exquisite flavor! If I’m ever in Richmond again I will be returning.“

“I'm addicted and can't wait to hopefully have more tomorrow 😋❤️ All the food was so flavorful and the presentation is amazing.“

“Excellent coffee and pastries! Stop by and enjoy the great atmoshere.“

“I had them do 24 cupcakes for my Mom’s 75th birthday and they not only looked amazing, they tasted amazing! I got so many compliments on how good they were and I definitely pointed them to Smallcakes!“

“Enjoyed a great day with amazing food and wonderful service! Thank you for being dog friendly, that was one reason we came. We will absolutely be back!!“

“I recently organized a couple of catering orders from The Smoky Mug, and it was an exceptional experience, largely thanks to Dan’s superb accommodations and friendliness. The catering itself exceeded expectations. I highly recommend The Smoky Mug for their top notch BBQ, and kudos to Dan for making our events a resounding success!“

“This place is awesome! Great service, great food. My go-to every time I’m in Richmond.“

“Love this place! The staff is so welcoming and top notch, the atmosphere is cozy, beer is great, and there’s always something fun going on like trivia, food trucks, quesadilla place next door that will deliver your food there, live blue grass, the farmers market in the parking lot. Shout out to staff Jose and Jack! They are the best!“

“We had the best dinner with the greatest waitress and superb cocktails this weekend! Thanks for the tremendous experience!“

“We had two of the specials tonight - lamb stew and salmon. Delicious and bountiful meals and wonderful desserts (as always).“

“this was my first time visiting urban hang suite and i was blown away!! i got the sausage egg and cheese on a croissant (with vegan sausage) and an iced oat vanilla latte, and both were absolutely delicious—and i can be pretty finicky about my lattes lol. i also loved finding out that it's Black woman owned!! will absolutely be coming back 🫶🩷“

“Burger’s are out of this world!!!“

“Excellent stop for our lunch. Brisket was incredible. Creamy max & cheese was delicious. Will definitely stop again!“

“Ninja is an incredibly unique and incredibly great tasting kombucha. I’ve lived many places in Virginia, and this is the best one I’ve had. I even prefer it over Health Ade, Forage, Rowdy Mermaid and Dr. Brew (I’ve tried a bunch). The owner pays particular attention to the formulation, making it so much better than those others I’ve tried. With many unique flavors in its line, I highly recommend!“

“Lovely place, lovely people, and lovely tea of course 💕.“

“I love carytown tea. I Iive in RI so only get to come in when I am visiting my daughter in Chester. I was there yesterday with my daughter buying tea. We always get treated so well. Thank you Carytown tea. Your teas are amazing.“

“Always a pleasure to visit Millie’s! One of our favorites!“

“This place is amazing. Last week, I ordered one of their bowls and took home ramen for my husband. He loved it so much that we went back this weekend. Even the kids ate the food (manic and cheese and plain ramen noodles), which almost never happens. The staff was super accommodating with our requests to adjust the order for the kiddos. We also loved the patio and ate outside while it rained, so that was cool too. Two thumbs up from us 👍👍😊“

“Love basic! The staff treats you like family and the beers taste delicious!“

“Atmosphere beverages staff“

“Lees is definitely enough to put the all three much popular chains like Popeyes,KFC and Church's to deep shame.Bojangles well that's definitely stiff competition because they're no joke either lol but there's something more authentic and more homely about Lee's.Their chicken taste like the fried chicken your mom makes in a batch and then bring it to church for lunch after service.Their chicken taste taste is fully seasoned,crispy and juicy,biscuits taste like they're from scratch.Nothing ashy and hard enough for me to play frisbee with.The service from the workers are so professional and cheery and love the cleanliness of the place.The mac and cheese in my opinion need a little more work,it kind of taste like box macaroni,they need to change up the recipe but other than that Lee's is always my go to place whenever i'm down in Richmond Va.“

“We brought my mom and in-laws here for July 4th dinner and had a truly delicious experience! Everyone was thrilled by the ambiance, food, and we caught the fireworks right at the end of dinner, view through the window. My almost 3-year old was the best behaved he has been in a restaurant — much credit to the staff whom were all so kind and welcoming!“

“Found this gem while looking for a brewery that was open early on a Sunday, and had food. Mostly indoor seating, but it's a lovely space looking into the brewery. Staff was excellent in explaining the brewery history, the beers and the food. We ordered all the apps and enjoyed them all. Then we got a little creative and ordered the chicken strips to tear up and put on their mushroom pizza, as they don't offer additional proteins or toppings. Both were excellent. Only downfall was parking, but we did see something down the alley that may have been for the brewery.“

“Our go-to for desserts, and they just happen to be vegan! Flavorful, beautifully prepared, unique items you can't find elsewhere. The savory options are amazing too, they are magicians with seitan. Don't miss their seasonal offerings for holidays! Most recently we had a delicious box of items for high tea from their Mothers' Day menu and everything was perfect and fresh. We are really lucky to have Sunflower Gardenz in our city, a hidden gem for sure“

“outstanding coffee by barista Lyndon and very chill vibe. Stopped here on a road trip from Florida to New York because I could not stand another chain coffee experience, and really wish this were my local coffee stop. I would be in here every day. Absolutely worth the seven minute detour.“

“One of my favorite spots in Scott’s Addition! Great beer selection (looooove having more than one sour option on draft) and the atmosphere is nice and cozy. Love catching a game on the rooftop or a movie night downstairs on the projector. Staff go above and beyond and always have great recommendations.“

“Old world vibe ,very cool Place“

“We just moved back to Richmond from New England and have been searching in vain for good pizza until now. Zorch is the winner by a mile!“

“First time eating at First Watch and it was a great lunch.“

“All I can say is "Yummy"!!!! Staff was very friendly. It was neat to see the ice cream being rolled“

“Amazing place. Parking is a task, so is everything downtown. Totally recommend“

“We had such a great time at trivia night at Väsen. The questions were actually fun and well thought out, probably some of the best trivia we’ve played in terms of variety and challenge. This spot is also my husband’s favorite for non-alcoholic options, which means a lot since he doesn’t drink. It’s one of the few places where he still feels totally included in the vibe while we’re out having fun. Great beer and great energy.“

“Wow!!! This was my first order with Zombie pizza, and the pizza exceeded my expectations. The pizzas were ready before I had requested; communication was excellent; the pizzas were works of art, and the taste was impeccable. I will order again.“

“I will turn 75 years old on Monday, Dec. 21, 2020. All I want for my birthday is some of the delicious pub grub from The Cask Cafe, and a growler or two of selections from the world’s (and Richmond’s) greatest brews. Unfortunately, this will be via touch-free curbside pickup. I’d much rather sit at the bar and chat about the role of diacetyl in English pub bitters, or the varieties of Bohemian or Moravian hops available in commercial Czech lagers...but not this year. The cask is Richmond’s best bar for real beer afficionados, IMHO. DAN MOUER“
