50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Virginia Beach

“We just had a large birthday party there last night are waitress. Kasey was awesome. There was 20 of us girls and she did not miss a beat. All the food was wonderful. It was my first time there as well as majority of the girls and everything was wonderful from the drinks to the food we will be back.👍“

“I am a member of the wine club here. The food is excellent and the wine is awesome ! Tonight the service was top notch! Highly recommend.“

“Ate here Thursday the 10th, food was tasty. The parking was confusing as there were signs all over of the risk of being towed. Asked someone in parking lot how the restaurant is. They stated very rustic but food is good. Our server Lindsey was awesome. Choice of beer on tap was mostly IPAs, not our favorites. Not many Craft beers available. I got the DB Vienna Lager which is always a good fall back when there's nothing else. The IPA my partner had was your typical grapefruity bitter IPA, not good. We ordered a dozen Clams Casino which were made to perfection! And we shared the Blackened Tuna cooked medium served on a roll. Yummy. It came with a little cup of wasabi a little too intense for our taste buds so we asked for tartar sauce instead. This came with a generous amount of Hush Puppies with butter on the side. I have never been offered butter with my Hush Puppies but I will be asking for it this way from now on, delish. Staff was very accommodating and friendly.“

“We stopped in for cocktails today (6 women of a certain age)! The drinks, the service, the atmosphere and overall vibe were outstanding! We had a great time and will return soon! Highly recommend!“

“The best, authentic shave ice this side of Kauai! Delicious flavors and the friendliest staff, we are looking for excuses to go to Va Beach so we can get more!“

“Great times to be had at this fine establishment.“

“Food was really good and the cashier was very nice to my friend and I“

“Park Lane on Fordham Drive in Virginia Beach is a great place for drinks, dinner, parties, meeting friends. I have been a frequent patron of Park Lane at this location for a very long time and at least twice a week. I spoke with manager Jim this evening and complimented him on the way the restaurant and bar is run. The restaurant is well kept and attended to. The wait staff and bar tenders are super efficient, well versed with knowledge of the product and food there. They are fast and very efficient, and honestly all of them have great work ethic and have a wonderful sense of humor. They make you feel like a part of their family and are very professional. They really get to know you (especially if you’re a regular customer), and that’s why it’s such a pleasure to frequent the restaurant. We laugh and kid around with each other and the atmosphere really is light, lively, fun and all around pleasurable. The kitchen staff prepare and present the dishes with absolute care and appeal…. and the food is delicious! I haven’t been disappointed once! The orders come out of the kitchen with care and they are very prompt. The analogy that I would say about this particular restaurant is that “it’s a well-oiled machine”, as it’s run with precision, it’s very efficient, and everyone works well with each other, and honestly they all seem so happy! It’s a wonderful place and I recommend it very highly. You won’t be disappointed, and I might add that the prices are very reasonable. Thanks to Jim, Justin and all the managers at this location, and a great BIG thank you to the wait staff, bar tenders, cooks, kitchen staff, janitors, clean up crews for an outstanding job well done! You ALL really go above and beyond expectations and other like establishments should take a lesson from you all. Thank you for your wonderful service and for the friendships that will always be cherished. Thank you again and know you are truly appreciated for your hard work, your loyalty and for taking care of our every wants and needs. You should get the Best Restaurant Award if there’s such a thing!“

“Been here twice and both times I’ve had phenomenal food and service. This last time I got a slice of the hummingbird cake and let me tell you it is sheer perfection.“

“Great“

“BEST iced drinks! So yum! Great people too.“

“Food was pretty good. Service was great! Disappointed in the cheap Verdi “ champagne “used for mimosas.“

“Good food and GREAT drinks and service, highly recommend! I have the pleasure of having Sydney M. serve me at the bar on my last few visits, she is awesome! Go see her..“

“The BEST oatmeal I’ve ever had. Followed by the best bagel and smoothie I’ve ever had. I’m in love.“

“Just had a very delicious brunch after church at Driftwood Kitchen on Pacific Avenue! A convenient bonus is they have a parking lot available which we appreciate! Hubs had the salmon Benedict with hash which he thoroughly enjoyed along with a Spicy Margarita, yum! Today's special was red, white & blue pancakes with a side so l ordered that with homemade hash as my side, probably the best hash l've had! The pancakes were on point with the white chocolate chips & fresh blueberries inside and fresh strawberries on top! I would definitely order the same dish again, perfection! The bloody Mary's & mimosas were $5 & tasty! Our server & bar tender, Kat H. was very helpful & kind! We certainly want to go back! Happy Hour 3-6pm, closed Mondays,on Sundays they close at 3pm.“

“This is the best bakery in the area! There's always a wide variety of delicious, fresh goodies waiting to be eaten. Want something savory? They have that too!! Sammiches, mac and cheese, all entirely vegan and made in house! The atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff are wonderful. Everyone is so nice and knowledgeable about the products.“

“Great shoreside New England seafood. Friendly staff, fast service. The people that frequent the place are all so friendly too, it's like they are so happy to be there.“

“Friendly environment. The owners are very nice. I purchased a gift card online and sent it to a friend. She received it via text a few minutes after I purchased it. We love this place. Great atmosphere, everyone joins in the conversation’s no feel left out. A relaxed hangout. And you can bring children!“

“I recently attended a wedding reception at Redhead Bay Cafe, and I couldn't have been more impressed. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was impeccable, even with such a large event. The owners, a fantastic husband and wife team, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. If you're looking for a great place to host an event, I highly recommend Redhead Bay Cafe. They really made the day truly special!“

“Delicious food, friendly atmosphere, great scene! Great variety of menu options and beer!“

“good food. nice people.... that bread though is delicious😋“

“Fantastic food, cool vibes Check it out“

“Found this wonderful little restaurant on our last day at Virginia Beach vacation. Wish we had found it earlier! Food was excellent! The owner , Jeff came out to visit. Very nice. Told him how much we enjoyed the food. Come visit this little diner on the Boardwalk!“

“Outstanding food and first class staff. Highly recommended“

“I am in awe tonight with the above and beyond service I received. I ordered online through an app I've never used. Not only did they help to correct MY mistake but one of the owners even offered to drive the food to me himself. These two establishments are run and owned by the most hardworking and thoughtful men you will ever meet. You can see it in the way they treat the staff as family. The delicious foods that are curated so perfectly..my favorites are the scotch eggs, gnocchi- flavor for days, my goodness the french toast, the calamari!!! Honestly, I haven't had a meal there that wasn't good. The inside of each restaurant that they created with help from their own families are inviting and cozy. The perfect places for brunch or dinner. If you haven't ate at Rustic Spoon yet you're missing out. 💖“

“Great prices and chill atmosphere. All the entrees were tempting but quite fun indulging in a tapas selection!“

“I ordered the catfish platter and omg it was FANTASTIC! And super cheap! I was alittle on the fence since the price was so low but this is the best seafood I’ve had since moving to VB! 10/10!!“

“excellent service and friendly staff...absolutely awesome food at a great price!!!“

“stopped in today for a late lunch, had the Neptune combo, everything was absolutely amazing and cooked perfectly! loved the fish topped with shrimp scampi sauce! And had waitress named Alexis which was very good waitress. looking forward to coming back on other VB visits“

“The food is excellent and our server Kendall was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and provided excellent service. The whole staff seemed friendly.“

“Only 2 things I didn't like was the collards and black eye peas ... but babyyyyyyy everything else was delicious ? perfect fresh chicken. Great service and the homemade ice cream and shakes is everything!! Make sure you try the burnswick stew .... I ordered it as a side and left with a quart ? ? ?“

“Really enjoyed this restaurant. Service, atmosphere and most of the food was very good. We were looking forward to the baked wings but they were quite soggy. When we mentioned it to the bartender, she had cook new wings They were still not enjoyable for us. We Will Definitely frequent this establishment again. The food overall is definitely very good.“

“Great staff, food, and vibes 😍“

“Amazing team! Made our twins’ birthday very special on very short notice. We’ve loved coming for sweet treats but absolutely recommending now for celebrations. Thank you so much again, Katie, Hannah, Ellie, and Sweet Frog gang🤍“

“Aslin is fantastic IF you visit early on a weekday! The beer is great, the cocktails are top-notch, the food is delicious, and the vibes are as good as the staff! There are also tons of seating options. 5 stars for everything the brewery can control!

I recommend steering clear on weekends, unless your idea of a good time is reliving a chaotic children’s birthday party. There are more kids here than at any playground (30-40+ the last few fri/sat nights), running around, screaming, throwing gravel, playing on the stairs, and treating the place like a jungle gym.

This is coming from someone who actually loves kids?! I just think it’s important to note: if you’re hoping for a chill night with friends/fam on a weekend, this isn’t it.“

“Found this establishment when looking for a place to eat after a visit to the botanical gardens. It was also necessary to have a dog friendly place as we had our pooch. We were able to sit outside with our dog and while the seating over looks the parking lot it is comfortably set back from the main road. The food was excellent! I had the fried chicken and french toast (rather decadent with bacon and peanut butter) and my wife had the pork and mac n cheese (they smoke the pork on the premises). Service was very attentive and we never felt rushed even though we arrived an hour before closing. We will be back.“

“I’ve always had a good time when I honor the Chesapeake location. I plan to check out the VA Beach location really soon. Great beer, great staff and fun events!!“

“I have been attending for 2 years and 300 classes and I can honestly say it has been a rewarding experience. From the ladies behind the desk to our fabulous manager Heidi to all of our teachers I have never had a bad experience. Everyone is kind, helpful and happy to see you when you come in!😀 Not only do I exercise but I have also made many friends. It is a win-win!“

“The Captain and the Wookie approve. This place is a hidden gem, tucked behind alderan. This place makes the Mos Eisley Cantina look like a swap meet. Impressive brews, great atmosphere, and the staff is very friendly. Only just a couple clicks away from the oceanfront, in a district where you couldn’t feel any safer. You only catch a place like this every few light years!“

“we love the view, friendly employees and relaxed atmosphere“

“It was very dog friendly and I got to eat pizza crusts!“

“This place alone would bring me back to Virginia Beach! The crab legs were the very best we have ever had. The steamer bag was amazing. And the carrots! Great service, perfect views, airy, music at perfect level. We will be back!“

“Stopped in for the first time today. Gotta say, I love the vibe and creativity put into the details. The bathroom decor was worth the visit. (Haha...no spoilers. Just go see for yourself.) You know when owners care about the small things, they're doing the big things right too!

Had a pale ale, Oktoberfest marzen, and Scottish Red Ale. All we're on point but the Red Ale absolutely scratched an itch I've had for a while!

Staff and crowd was just amazing. Walking in, I immediately felt like a regular.
We will definitely be back...“

“Great selection of beer, love that they have sours! The food is delicious and the staff is always awesome. It’s a fun place to hang out with our friends the atmosphere is is welcoming and relaxing 🙂“

“Many thanks for hosting the Veterans Luncheon today. You all were fantastic.“

“I went today for the first time and the baristas were incredibly kind and welcoming. I got the “bonfire” iced latte, one of the best lattes I’ve ever had, and the potato bowl which was amazing. The seating was great, I loved that there were a bunch of places to sit that were nicely spread out. Super cozy vibe. My fave local coffee shop I’ve discovered thus far!!“

“Exceptional dishes! HIGHLY Recommend it!“

“This is a big YES for great food, good service and atmosphere. If you love seafood and eating in the beauty of a Marina with all of the boats and the water, you're gonna love it here. They have everything you need and want when UT comes to dinning and a store to purchase swag and other memorabilia. You can also purchase raw food from the store.“
