50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Waterford

“What a find! We were staying at the cottage on property so walked over for dinner. Great pizza. Staff from pizza company worked so hard! Fabulous IPAs on tap. Enjoyed the Italian music provided by a local trio. Bonnie is a wonderful host. Don’t miss this place if you are in the area.“

“Delicious bruschetta! I can’t wait to go back and try some of the other variations. The wine was also very good. I prefer whites and they were perfect for a hot summer day.

I brought my puppy and he had a blast at the small, adjacent off-leash dog park.“

“Best food ever! I was in town two days and ate dinner there both nights! I had the Big Veg Burger one night and the Creamy Coco Ramen Bowl the 2nd night. Best dishes I ever ate! I am not a huge dessert person but HAD to have the oat milk ice cream both nights! I had chocolate one night and vanilla the 2nd night. Yummy! Super quaint, fresh food, awesome company, and loved talking to Ben and others. They run an awesome business! Wish I had this restaurant in Indiana! I highly recommend! Thank you guys! Made my trip so much more amazing than it already was! I appreciate your kindness! I will be back someday!“

“love the food and the people there! finally I found a place with authentic middle east cuisine. the kebab with salad in a wrap is my favorite . way to go! gyro in pita bread with salad is also very tasty.“

“Just stopped by Nautical Bowls for a tasty açaí bowl. I ended up getting both açaí and pitaya topped with bananas, blueberries, and strawberries, chia, chocolate nibs, and peanut butter. Simply the best açaí bowl I’ve had!!! Thanks so much for a great experience!!!“

“Delicious“

“So good!!! I got a vanilla latte and a bagel, both were fantastic! Service was so quick and everyone was so friendly. Such a cute and fun spot!!“

“Took my boys there for the first time today and everything was absolutely delicious - two Deniros and a meatball & cheese sub. I highly recommend it. This is certainly a place we will frequent.“

“awesome spot. Great people“

“I have heard how delicious the Pub food is so I decided to stop by for some takeout. Upon my arrival, I was greeted immediately & placed my order. The food did not disappoint! I ordered a reuben sandwich with fries which arrived within 15 minutes. It was delicious! While I was waiting for my food, I noticed a good sized area for outdoor dining as well as indoor seating. A group of 4 came in behind me & was seated immediately - I overheard their immediate comment that the music was too loud. I could see that having a quiet conversation might be difficult especially as the place gets busier. If you're looking for delicious food & friendly service, I would definitely recommend!“

“Love Tarbender’s! Such a unique spot. Live music on Fri/ Sat, brunch on Sunday. What’s not to love!“

“This is yet another winner in Loudoun County. It's so great to have so many options for wineries in Loudoun - no matter what section of the county you're driving around in, you will likely be very close to a great winery. This location is not far from Casanel and Willowcroft Wineries, two other favorites of mine. They offer a white flight or a red flight, and you can also mix and match in the flight. I had the white - the weather was perfect for it. Vidal Blanc and Petit Manseng were not as sweet as others I have tried in these varietals and the white flight included their rosé, done exactly how I like it (DRY). They also still do counter tastings, which is a big plus these days.

There are three creeks that wind through this property. You cross over one to enter their location, and the other two are in the picnic area. A nice selection of picnic tables and spots on the back patio to choose from. Some of the picnic tables are next to the creeks. And this is a "21 and over only" spot - sometimes you want to be, and need to be, away from kids. There are plenty of family friendly options in the county (and state). So it's great to have a few adults only locations now.

Definitely worth a stop on your next winery "daycation."“

“One of the most personable experiences at a Virginia winery. They are friendly and helpful to everyone and the wines are amazing! Everyone is valued and made to feel like family!“

“Fantastic rum... my FAVORITE by far! Highly recommend!!!!“

“if you're visiting the historic town of Brunswick, then the Potomac Street Grill should be on your list. They have a robust menu that will suit anyone from vegetarians to carnivores. They have a great bar and friendly staff. If I'm ever visiting again, I will surely return.“

“The food and service was 100%!!! We indicated on the reservation that we were celebrating an anniversary. They had menus printed with a personalized message for us when we arrived. They also gave us a glass w/candies inside including the menus as a gift. This was not expected and was a nice surprise.“

“Definitely try the Milky Way sundae“

“A must Excellent breakfast today, staff friendly, menu delectable, best Americano I've ever had!“

“Long post ahead, warning! I walked in around 9 pm and the hostess didn't bat an eye at my dining alone, and didn't say anything about it, which I appreciate. I was seated right away with no problems and immediately got a chance to look over the menu. I will admit, it took a little bit longer than expected for my waiter to come over, but as a lone diner I sort of expected that. I looked like I was waiting for someone, I'm sure. The look and feel of the place was very upscale, but they didn't have any problems with me walking in wearing a nerdy t-shirt. I was seated in this cute little booth for 2 with curtains on the side so, if I wanted a more private dinner, I could have it. It was a cute touch! The restaurant also offered patio dining and since it's by the creek, that would have been a downright charming experience were it not the usual Maryland summer. Despite having a bar, the restaurant was respectably quiet and low-key, making it an easy dining experience. I wasn't in the mood for something wild, and this place really hit the nail on the head. My first waiter Kevin, however, was the picture of polite helpfulness. He answered all of my questions, made some wonderful suggestions, and was incredibly pleasant to talk to. I was delighted to find out that this place takes part in DC restaurant week, so I was able to take part in that promotion. Under a suggestion from Kevin, I ordered a glass of their moscato (I wanted something light and sweet), and the wine was so good I brought home a whole bottle. Not really on them, but it does reflect their excellent selection. Dinner itself was delicious. The red pepper soup was refreshing and flavorful, without being too filling. The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection and was flavored in the perfect way to make the actual flavor of the meat shine. The potatoes were both light and fluffy, but also had the little chunks of potato that I prefer in my mashed. The best part was desert. About halfway through my appetizer, Kevin introduced my other waiter, Maddy, who took over after he went home. She was as much of a delight as he was, and made possibly the best recommendation of the night. Desert was this blackberry tart that I did not have room for but could not put down. Gooey and crumbly all at once, with a warm center that was almost caramel-y even though it was fruit based. Topped with a light cream to balance it all out, it was absolutely delicious. I will be thinking of that tart all day tomorrow. The prices on the menu were a little high, but I wouldn't go so far to say they were unreasonable. If I had wanted a cheaper option, I could have gone to any chain restaurant ever. In the grand scheme of downtown Frederick, with it's many small businesses and one of a kind dining experiences, I think this was reasonable. For reference, a lot of meals were between $20 and $30, but a good steak is almost always $30+. Despite the price, I had an exceptional dining experience, and would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for upscale dining, without the upscale requirements.“

“Fun, comfortable place to stop in for a tasting with their knowledgable staff -- try everything, even if you don't think you like whiskey or gin. Everything is very drinkable (especially the Honey Hot Whiskey) and we always end up bringing a few bottles home.“

“I recently celebrated my birthday at The Barns at Hamilton Station Vineyards, and it was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I reached out to Susan, their coordinator, I knew we were in great hands. She was incredibly responsive, professional, and accommodating—especially considering we had a large group.

The vineyard itself was beautiful and welcoming. We had such a great time enjoying the delicious wines—each one we tried was truly tasty and well-crafted. The charcuterie baskets were a hit too: generous portions, beautifully arranged, and full of flavor.

To top it all off, there was live music by Chris, which created the perfect atmosphere for a fun and relaxed afternoon. The entire team was so warm and friendly, and they made the experience feel special from start to finish.

My friends and I are already talking about coming back again soon. Highly recommend The Barns at Hamilton Station for any special occasion—or just a great day out!“

“Had a fabulous time here today! Excellent wine selection and the staff was amazing! Elizabeth was so sweet and the gentleman bartender whom is a high school history teacher (didn’t get his name) was great as well! We found our new favorite winery! Stunning views!!! Absolutely breathtaking!“

“This winery is great if you are looking for a good wine and peaceful place. It’s small but it has a great atmosphere. Their wines are excellent! I love their wine and chocolate praline tasting. We like this place for birthday parties as well as it’s usually not too crowded. Their outdoor is large with many places to sit. The indoor is small with just few tables. But as I mentioned, most of their members typically pick up their wines to go so it’s never an issue to find a spot to sit. The only negative thing I can say is that my kids don’t love going there because it’s not much to do for them, and the parking lot could use a bit of love. But we are members for about 6+ years and we truly like their wines. My family makes wines in Slovakia and I took them there as well and they enjoyed their wines a lot as well!“

“We are regulars at Andy’s. I’m disappointed they removed a lot of their vegetarian items from the menu, which leaves me with fewer choices, but the food is consistently good and we adore Patty!“

“✨ A huge thank you to Travinia Italian Kitchen Leesburg for catering our event yesterday! ✨ From the moment the food arrived, we knew we were in for something special. Every dish was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service and setup were equally impressive, with everything handled seamlessly and professionally. We’re so grateful for your team’s attention to detail and hospitality. You helped make our event not only successful but memorable. Highly recommend Travinia for anyone looking to elevate their next gathering!“

“Love this brewery! The beers are always interesting, delicious and they have a ton of options. You cannot beat the atmosphere inside with great tunes, cozy couches, and plenty of bar height tables and stools. Pack a picnic and enjoy the outdoor seating while sampling your favorites or trying something new, like one of the summer slushies. (omg! so good) This is a great spot for a meet up, hang out, or a party bus stop.

It's important to note, their excellent beer is only topped by the quality of people who work here. They share so much information about the beers and you can tell they really care about their customers experience, the beverages they produce, and creating a welcoming space for all beer lovers.

It's a good thing they arent open super late or we would spend a lot more evenings here. The To Go Menu makes it really easy to bring their tasty brews home too!

We have made visiting Adroit a part of our regular routine and suggest you do the same!“

We don't get there often enough since we live 90 minutes away but everyone go! You'll be glad you did. Looking forward to Wicked Old Lady Pumpkin Beer like we do every fall!“

“I had an event for St Patrick’s Day catered by Spanky’s Shenanigans. If 5 star is the top, this was 10 star. The food was absolutely delicious and more than plentiful. People raved about the Corner Beef and Cabbage and Fish and Chips. The food arrived in a timely fashion and was hot. Kolt the manager could not have been pleasanter or easier to work with. I look forward to future catered events with this restaurant. Cathleen“

“Wonderful place and people. Always good food and atmosphere.“

“Love their gluten free pizza! The best I have tasted! Delicious pie, can’t wait to go back!“

“Really enjoyed our recent trip to the brewery and the adventure center! We went to the brewery for some very good beers, had an excellent pizza (looking forward to having some ice cream the next time we visit), and were entertained by the fantastic views and the live music. Stayed overnight in one of the cabins next to the brewery. What a fun night! The beds are pretty bare-bones, so I'd recommend bringing an air mattress with you. Overall, we had a great time and are planning our next trip!“

“Took ourselves on a afternoon wine tour in Purcellville, VA while staying in Harper's Ferry and wish we started here and stayed here. Kacey and Carolyn were amazing hosts.
