6 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Rutland

“Great food and very reasonable prices. The owner is so pleasant. .“

“Great beers and delicious pizza!“

“I live in Maine and heard about Southside Steakhouse from a friend. The service was great. Bruce was right on top of everything. The oysters 🦪 were delicious. I had the prime rib and let me tell you it was over the top delicious. I highly recommend it for service, food and drinks 🍹. I was very disappointed in the place allowing men to wear hats. Call me old fashioned but good manners are not that hard. It just looks disrespectful to your place of business. You are a very good restaurant and asking for men to remove their hat is only going to draw people back.“

“We have been twice so far and plan to go back when we visit Castleton again. The food and beer is amazing. They also have the best staff. We even brought the dog last time we went and they gave her a nice cold bowl of water and a pup cup. I highly recommend eating here.“

“The Rustic Rooster is one of those rare Vermont gems you almost don’t want to share because it’s that special. The food is absolutely amazing — consistently fresh, hearty, and full of flavor. But what really sets this place apart are the people. Greg and Donna, the owners, make you feel like family the moment you walk in. Their team is just as wonderful, and I have to give a special shout-out to Tyler (aka Leroy), whose warmth, humor, and service always make the experience even better. If you’re looking for authentic food, authentic people, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, this is it. The Rustic Rooster is easily one of my top spots in Vermont — a true local secret that’s worth discovering.“

“I loved the rustic decor and peaceful vibe of Mountain Top Resort. The stunning views and incredibly comfortable beds made it the perfect retreat for a relaxing getaway. The views from my room of the grounds and lake were gorgeous and the sunrise in the AM was stunning. Highly recommend the Inn for anyone looking for a tranquil getaway or a couple seeking a destination experience.“
