42 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants South Riding

“This is our favorite local watering hole, have been coming here since shortly after they opened and we moved into the area near the same time. Great service, great people, broad liquor selection (more than a normal bar). Food is ok to great, depends on the dish, no place does everything perfect. Clean and friendly, lots of rotating taps with beers from local breweries.“

“Il Faro is a very good restaurant. I love the Chicken Marsala here. Extremely tasty. A different spin on it as they don't use spaghetti as the pasta. The chef uses penne pasta and it absorbs the flavors of the sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach and the organic chicken well. The chicken is extremely tender and the chef consistently delivers this dish in the three times we have been here since they took over after Mama Mias closed. I also want to note they do the appetizers well. We enjoy the mozzarella sticks and the meatballs. You can tell the mozzarella is fresh since it doesn't have that frozen taste and the sauce to dip in is very tasteful. As for the meatballs, they are beef based but the chef adds a great flavor of the tomato sauce and mozzarella and they add delightful bread to soak up the remaining sauce and cheese after you enjoy the meatballs. The pizza is a thin crust cooked toward the under side so no browning on the cheese. It is a NY pizza in the finest of traditions. You will enjoy it. Service is top notch. I mean 100%. We go in and we are 100% satisfied with the service. Waitress is efficient, smart and completely interested in making sure you have a great dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“A small family run pastry shop. The owners are from Iran.Recommend by friendThe shop is like many other Persian bakeries in the DMV region. They have Persian cookies and their sweets - I love the jalebi like sweet and other similarly sugar syrup soaked sweets, the dry fruits and nuts but especially their swiss roll pastries, and cakes are the best.I love pastries perfectly tasty“

“My friend and I had a delightful lunch experience at a Vietnamese restaurant in the area a while back. Spring rolls were cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior and moist interior. Beef pho was warm and full of flavor. We loved the texture of the perfectly grilled squid in the mixed vegetable salad, which was even more delicious with the dipping sauce. The beef was perfectly seasoned and paired well with the rice. The interior decor of the restaurant was lovely, and the large windows let in plenty of sunlight. I highly recommend this place.“

“Went to the new restaurant last night, Local Provisions in Cascades. Everything was great, from the Old Fashion to the Olive Oil Cake. I would recommend the Shrimp Risotto and the Pork Chop along with the Goat cheese with hot honey appetizer! Eddie our Waiter was great as well. We will be back!“

“This place is really good! We ordered the shrimp hibachi bowl with cauliflower rice and the steak hibachi bowl. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of food you get for the price! I typically expect to get only a few shrimp when I order a shrimp dish, but my bowl was loaded with shrimp. We both had our meals for dinner and still had a lot left for lunch the next day.“

“Stumbled upon this place on the way back from a hike in the area. Who would have guessed Chantilly VA would have the best bbq I’ve ever had?? We got the spare ribs, smoked pork belly, kimchi pimento snack, and the smoked chili sausage. EVERYTHING was 10/10. My favorite was the pork belly which has this sweet crunchy crust that was absolute crack. For reference, we’ve had bbq in Texas, Kansas, Missouri, the Carolina’s, and more and this is hands down the most moist and flavorful. This won’t be the last time, Odd BBQ!!“

“As a Seattleite/Pacific Northwesterner & overall connoisseur of craft brewing, I’m proud to say that Juicy Brewing has become my favorite brewery! That speaks volumes since breweries such as Great Notion, Cascade Barrel House, Holy Mountain and many more top notch breweries are in my neighborhood. Whoever’s in charge here has some skills! Last week I was fortunate to visit Juicy again and was tickled to time it just right with the ANCHOVY variant drop of their AE OPAQUE!!! Juicy’s OPAQUE series are top tier hazy’s and each variant is unique and perfectly prepared. Along with their hazy offerings, the sours are out of this world! Quaint, cozy and cool is how I’d describe Juicy Brewing. Although I love their quirky glassware, I feel I’m being shorted a bit and would love other glassware/ pour options. Here in the PNW we drink hazy’s in full pint glasses and I’d love to see that or other options offered. That said; they don’t run a tab, so remember what you had! When you’re done it’s up to you to remember what you had…so be honest! Jaja. Never experienced that before. If you’re into Craft beer, especially hazy IPAs, double hazy IPAs and sours, you’ll love the vibe in this little nano knock out! **If you’re inclined, hit up Enatye Ethiopian Restaurant right around the corner for a truly magical and harmonious evening. CHEERS!“

“"Taste of Istanbul" truly lives up to its name. We felt transported to an authentic "esnaf lokantası" (a traditional Turkish eatery) in Istanbul. Although I'm not a gourmet, I can confidently say that if a place brews Turkish tea deliciously, you can be sure their food is equally exceptional, and that's precisely the case here. The flavors were reminiscent of the vibrant culinary scene in Istanbul, making this restaurant a hidden gem for those seeking an authentic Turkish dining experience.Parking: after 5pm, all parking lots are free.“

“This restaurant has a comfortable seating area with a relaxed atmosphere and serves fusion-style dishes, some with an Asian flair that is truly comforting. Last time, we tried the Chicken Lettuce Wraps, which had a hint of sesame soy sauce and crunchiness from the lettuce, making it the perfect appetizer. The Fettuccine Alfredo with parmesan cream sauce was good, and the Sweet and Spicy Ribs were sweet and tasty, with a kick from the Korean Gochugaru sauce. We enjoyed all aspects of the restaurant, including the decent service.“

“In town with my family for vacation and ended up here twice! Food, drinks and the service was amazing both times. The kids meals are huge and my son loved his both times. The price of everything is also extremely reasonable, especially with how big the portions are. I would highly recommend this place.“

“We LOVE coming to Silver Diner and having Gledys ⭐️ as our waitress today made the visit even more special! She was so welcoming and had our entire table in a good mood and laughing. Her service was fast and friendly and the food was good as always. We will be asking for Gledys the next time we come!!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options! Including toast, and French toast!“

“Wow! We were looking for somewhere to eat after 10 p.m. and I could not be more grateful. Home cooking when you don't want to cook. So tasty. Fresh ingredients, great staff and cozy booths. Justin gave us the best recommendations, 10/10 try the red white and blue French toast. Chefs kiss!“

“I love this place, I go just about every week and live about five minutes away. Great beers, good rotation for new stock. Make sure to go to Eugene's also for food! The crowds here have gotten so big for these events over the past few years, be sure to check their calendar for upcoming and recurring events ? parking can be a little tight so be sure to get there earlier.“

“As a Lebanese American , I'm thrilled to stumble upon a genuine , locally-owned small restaurant that serves authentic lebanese menu.While it may be a bit on the pricier side, the quality is evident in the taste. I usually enjoy cooking at home, but this place makes me feel like I’m home away from home!“

“This was our first visit, and we'll absolutely be back. The staff was friendly and helpful in providing recommendations. We ordered the Jerry and the chicken salad. The Jerry was spaghetti squash, sun-dried tomatoes, sausage, and shrimp. Boy was it tasty! The chicken salad was amazing and the chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The bread was freshly baked and hot when it arrived. We also ordered the bruschetta. Although it tasted good, the bread was not what I expected.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, Palestinian and vegetarian options“

“Fast food in a nicer atmosphere. The personnel are very friendly. All food is made to order. The Greek escape salad has a nice variety in its content and a delicious dressing. The best are the Garlic Crostini with cheese, unbeatable in taste and value for money!!! Another good choice is the Bruschetta which has fresh cut tomatoes with lots of mozzarella and basil on a flatbread!!!“

“first time at " lazy Dog" . Is spacious. very cozy bar, a patio with a fire place in the center and skywindow to watch planes on route to IAD. excelent menu, they have varieties of dishes to appeal sophisticated customers. the staff is attentive and excellent attitude. specially Natalie our waitress. since I live in the neighborhood, definitely will come back .“

“There's always something new at Mustang Sally every time I visit. They have Trivia weekly if that's your thing. It's entertaining to watch even if you're not participating. Family friendly in that you can bring the kids if they're capable of sitting at the table with you, but don't expect to let them run around, it's not that kind of brewery.Beers: There staples are definitely sours/sour variants, and IPAs. Both of which they do an excellent job with. The beer names/themes are also always enjoyable, great throwbacks to pop culture.Events: Mustang Sally has some of the best themed events/parties in the area. The Sour Fest, Dill Pickle Fest, and countless others are always awesome and a great value.Venue: awesome pinball games, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Food inside on most days at Eugene's.“

“I have been to this location for dessert back when it was a Gelato spot, a crepe spot, etc. Once I found out it changed, I knew I had to try it! My friend and I were looking at the menu weeks in advance of our visit to see what we wanted to order. We knew in our hearts and belly that we needed the pistachio cake. Once we arrived (after eating a large meal at the Ethiopian restaurant), our eyes were bigger than our stomachs....yea that's a real thing when you're in a bakery!!! We were feeling a little nutty and ordered the following items: -Nuts about you (pistachio, hazelnut latté) -Almond succés $8.20 -Almond croissant $5.35 -Pistachio cake $6.90 They were kind enough to split the latte into 2 cups for us and it was just AMAZING. I was a little confused about the almond succés flavor/texture, but my friend disliked it. The almond croissant was good. the Pistachio cake just deserves its own moment and I would highly recommend it!!“

“Wow, Wow, &?!!I think we found our new happy place!!The Pork ribs were HUGE(I know, that’s what she said?) The pig must have been on steroids. They were seasoned perfectly and had the right pull on off the bone. Sitting here writing this my mouth is salivating.They do everything right not a bunch of crappy sauces to cover poor cooked meats, like most places.They let their meat do all the talking.These thick and juicy ribs melt in your mouth and were priced right.The brisket bark was spot on, flavor was amazing but was a tad bit over cooked for my likings even asked for the fatty piece. Mac n cheese was also delicious.Now the beer list…. It Was outstanding!!I wanted to sit here all day drinking the beers and eating ribs.The story on how got here… we attended the Thai festival in Manassas Va on 4/7 stopped for a beer afterwards and the bartender suggested HammerDown. He said it was out of our way but said there is No good BBQ anywhere is Manassas. Hard to believe with over 40,000 people.So we decided to take a detour, way beyond our expectations! Well done ?The owner was kind and poured us up our beers and asked us if we were full.Also what kind of wood do you use?“

“Food was delicious, beer was great and staff was super friendly. Very family friendly and chill vibes. Only bummer was they didn’t have any ciders on tap. The few seltzers they had weren’t great. If you are looking for non-beer options it’s not the place for you.Food was more BBQ than Hawaiian (small hint of Hawaiian)—still delicious, but nothing like an LnL.Overall, great experience and would come back if I’m in the area again!“

“Great takeout spot. It's rare for a pizza place to have good wings, but Bricks does! Thin crust cheeseburger pizza is fantastic, and so is the supreme. I think they treat the staff well because almost without fail EVERYTHING is correct. That's a rarity these days. To boot they are a friendly bunch who will usually make you crack a smile when ordering. We are lucky enough to be in their delivery radius and everything always come in hot and looking great.In 7 years only one time ever did we get a pizza that had been mishandled (all cheese shifted to a side) and we called just to let them know (not even complaining). They INSISTED on bringing us a fresh pie. Who does that these days? Bricks does. Love them.“

“This place is a literal diamond in the rough. Not only are the staff and management super friendly, the prices are exceedingly reasonable, the food is delicious, the views from the outdoor dog friendly patio are beautiful, and to top it all off this wonderful establishment is veteran owned. If you're looking for a place like no other, Come to Mulligan on the green.“

“Best french toast I've ever had! ?The only caveat is that I added a lot of the fruit that was a side, inside in between the layers ???? (strawberries and blueberries) great job with the nuts... also amazing steak and egg sandwich!!! The cilantro jalapeño aoli is bomb af, and you get it on a CROISSANT... Latte was smooth and barely sweet, with honey available to add at your leisure. I just wish they had more locations, more obvious signage, and more space inside. Quite the hidden jewel ?“

“Update: Tried other food on the menus both breakfast and lunch. I think this place is my go to place now.This was a good find. I had a taco salad and it was very good. My friends ate taco and they loved it as well. I can't wait to try other food on the menu and their breakfast.“

“Random find after a work meeting, and am so thankful I came in. The food is out of this world. All three of us devoured our meals and couldn't stop raving and wishing Kabobi was down in CVille where we were visiting from. Seriously if you're in the area, this is where you need to be eating!“

“We tried Mass 29 on a friend’s recommendation and it did not disappoint! From the ambience to the service to the food and wine, everything was amazing! My husband had the beef tibs, an Ethiopian dish that was delicious. I had the flank steak. It was perfectly cooked to my liking with creamy mashed potatoes and a Gorgonzola sauce. Our wine, Silk and Spice was delicious. We tried and lived the sambusas- had a little spice but not too much. We’re taking the lemon dessert home for later. We can’t wait to go back. Prices were reasonable too.“

“I picked up a pulled pork sandwich and mac and cheese for lunch, and was blown away! Definitely one of the best pork BBQ sandwiches I've had in a long time, and service was so fast! The staff were also very friendly and answered all of my questions. I wish this was closer to home so I could come more often!“

“Always a good time at Ocelot. If you've not been in a while, stop in again to check their selection out!Their beer selection is constantly changing, with lots of seasonal releases or new takes on styles. From English styles, to super hoppy IPAs, or crisp clean lagers, there's going to be something on draft you'll like.Pinball in the back room is awesome, and they've got a variety of food trucks during certain days.“

“Just moved here and stopped by Sully’s on recommendation. They were great! The two bartenders were super friendly and willing to give out advice on where to go locally.The food and drinks were good and all the other patrons were nice. They have a lot of events weekly, so it seems like a good place to get plugged in socially.“

“Good wine and beer. Was very crowded and lines took 25 mins. Wine slushy and pizza line was particularly bad. We avoided some of the lines by sending someone to the adults only side to buy some bottles of wine. That was quick, but there was no way to work around the 20 min beer line. Pizza is Chicago style. They don’t serve any kid drinks, so be sure to pack what you need for kids.“

“The food was amazing. We went as a large group and the service was fast.One suggestion is to improve the cleanliness of the restaurant. I saw a bug crawling on the table.Food - We ordered veg snack platter, kadhai paneer, bhindi masala, bread basket. Everything was perfect. The piping hot garlic naan was delicious.“

“Beer selection is awesome, beers taste fantastic. I didnt have the wine... but the wine slushies were flying out the door. Pizza - killer tomato pie with pepperoni. Sicilian dough, cheese and then a sweet sauce and diced pepperoni on top. Chicago style beef sandwhich was very tasty. Live music was great as well. Huge outdoor seating areas and indoor too. Dog friendly. It was a great visit. If you haven't been.. stop sleeping on Quattro and get on over.“

“Such a fun family place! While there's a slight walk involved, good to burn a few calories! A local favorite. I'm glad Peterson's Ice Cream is in the town of Clifton. This is a place all I know have enjoyed. Due to its location it's slightly expensive, but you're getting quality too. They have regular ice cream, with multiple flavors. Yet my Achilles heel is their tasty soft serve. A fantastic treat. Dig the train out front, as trains are quite active on the nearby tracks. This has been around for some time. Yes it can get busy, but the employees are friendly and efficient. I think they deserve an extra kudos, and their organization system is an impressive one. If you're in the area please visit this ice cream shop. They are special to my whole family, and we will be back again!“

“I truly enjoyed my #CremeBruleeDonut ? and iced #ChaiStrawberry. OMG, AMAZINGGG ‼️Such a wide variety of baked/fried pastries and coffees/teas/ice cream ??All around Washington-Dulles Airport ✈️??????☕? ?. It's a lovely space with lots of seating indoor and outdoors. I will definitely visit again when in the area.“

“This place is a wonderful hole in the wall spot. The food here is freshly made and served hot. The pupusas are filled with delicious cheese and are not greasy. The tacos are made with handmade tortillas and server on plates that hold the tacos in shape! The meat in the tacos is flavorful and juicy.“

“Great little hidden hangout in the land of Ashburn's finest office buildings and data centers. It's a perfect spot for grabbing an adult soda pop after a long day of work. I highly recommend the rye porter for those who like dark beers because it is incredibly tasty.“

“first time at " lazy Dog" . Is spacious. very cozy bar, a patio with a fire place in the center and skywindow to watch planes on route to IAD. excelent menu, they have varieties of dishes to appeal sophisticated customers. the staff is attentive and excellent attitude. specially Natalie our waitress. since I live in the neighborhood, definitely will come back .“

“Came here after a visit to the National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy. It's a great place to grab a cold delicious beer and sausages. The menu here is vast and delicious! I highly recommend if you are in the area to stop by grab a beer and a sausage. The service here was great as well. Very attentive! 10/10 will return!“

“My friend and I really enjoyed this place! The service was fast and attentive, which was great for a lunch.We got a wide range of food to try and we really liked all the flavors! They didn’t have lunch pricing, which would have been great, but we really enjoyed the items we had (Lomo Saltado & Carne Asada Fajitas). We ended up having many margaritas - they were delicious. :)“

“The physical space is fantastic. It’s a high bay and really friendly people. But when I asked about their beans for the pour over, they had no idea what I was talking about. I was interested if they’re single origin or not. It’s a great coffee shop, but I wouldn’t go here for high end pourover“
