30 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Orcas

“We enjoyed our 40th wedding anniversary here. Can’t say enough about the staff and the food. They were so welcoming to our Terrier Charlie T. And talk about convenience...“

“Great breakfast- good service- good coffee- clean-“

“Located in the heart of town & less than a 10 minute walk from the ferry terminal, skip the overpriced options (unless you want to pay for the harbor view) and enjoy breakfast served all day at the Rocky Bay Cafe. Quick, friendly service, reasonable prices, good rye toast, greasy spoon standards. Can get busy; small dining room; no outdoor seating; restrooms could be cleaner; limited free 2 hr street parking. Support your local small businesses & restaurants 👍“

“This was our first stop on Eastsound. It was a great welcome. I got a chai latte (delicious!) and breakfast sandwich. They had a vegetarian sausage patty and it was such a nice touch. I love when places offer that option. They had delicious looking pastries but we didn’t get any this round. They have some cute items for sale around the shop (great ideas for gifts). And there is plenty of seating outside in their little courtyard. The food came out quickly and the people working were friendly.“

“Pro Life Tip: when you see a line coming out the front door of a business - GET IN LINE! I was in Eastshore (from Nebraska) to purchase some coffee roasters from a local seller. I had some time to kill before my ferry back to the mainland left, so was walking around the cool downtown of Eastshore. My attention was drawn to a line of humanity spilling out the front door of one business and out onto the sidewalk. A quick Google told me it was a bakery and so I did the most sensible thing and JOINED THE LINE. When I got inside I was delighted to see Kouign Amann at the front of the pastry case. I had only recently learned of this demanding, difficult to make pastry and it was ALL I WANTED. A short wait later one was in my bag/Crumb Catcher! Here it is a week and a half later and i’m STILL THINKING ABOUT IT and writing this review. It was a-MAY-zing and I have little doubt that ANYTHING you choose will be just as memorable. These guys could probably FRANCHISE their knowledge & processes in places like Aspen, Park City, Jackson Hole, etc. - but then again, maybe not. Maybe you need the passion of two classically trained pastry chefs, in their own little wonderful corner of the world (Orcas Island, WA). In any event, if you find yourself on the island, you MUST make Brown Bear Bakery a stop. You will NOT regret it. How ANYONE could give this place ANYTHING less than 5 FULL STARS boggles the imagination.“

“Excellent cocktails, beer and food! Such a lovely location—we sat at the bar and could see the boats in the marina and the sunset. We got the pork dumplings, kimchi pork belly udon and the smash burger noodles. Everything was delicious! Can’t wait to go back.“

“Stumbled across the smell coming from this place at 6:30am before anything else was open. The food and coffee was great! I was impressed by the service, the food and the coffee. Thank you!“

“Best Pizza this side of Venice, Italy! Who knew? Owners are really friendly also. Only downside to this place is it is not open enough!“

“A+ pizza and chef. Josh cooks from the heart, and his customers are treated like family.“

“I love Medio, from the high quality food and drinks to the atmosphere. Their matcha is amazing and so are their other specialty drinks which are fun and delicious. Try the kimbap, chorizo burrito, or any of their baked goods, you won’t regret it. The cafe space is amazing for San Juan. There are very few places were you can hang out on island and these guys have it going on with the vibe they’re setting up, from the decorations to the variety of nooks. There’s a fantastic fireplace and some adorable options for kids. Really great spot. I recommend it to local friends and visitors.“

“Such an awesome little brewery!! A total locals place with delicious beer and food (the smoked salmon and cheese are insanelyyy good)! Cali was the Beertender and she was so sweet, knowledgeable and fun to talk too!!
There’s a room on the side that’s super private and great if you have a few dogs with you, tons of outdoor seating as well. Definitely will be coming back next time we are on Orcas :)“

“I thought the pulled pork was super good! And I’ll go back for the mac n cheese any time - yum! My husband is a fan of their brisket and he even he had enough to have left overs for breakfast too. Yikes Matthew! Next time we’ll branch out with other menu items, though it’ll be difficult to leave such good ones in the kitchen! My only problem is we don’t get to Orcas often enough to enjoy this tasty place!“

“Great food & happy people always a smile“

“Awesome service! Beautiful day, delicious wine!“

“Madrone Cellars has introduced great wines and ciders to our community with fun events. 👍👍“

“i’ve photographed a couple weddings at orcas island winery and it’s a lovely spot. the winery has a wide lawn for sipping wine and hanging out, a beautiful venue for weddings or events. it’s intimate without feeling small, stylish without trying too hard. perfect place to visit for a slow afternoon or to rent for a celebration that feels relaxed and local.

“In a lot of towns you pass local pubs like this and think, meh, it's a tavern, let's look for something else. But towns need their taverns, and Eastsound is lucky to have The Lower! There is an obvious pride in ownership going on here. Clean, comfy and warm interior, supremely friendly and welcoming staff, a really wide selection of beers and wines that ain't common in most pubs, and filled with a great local energy - you can tell that this is a regular gathering place for the community. We were there on an Open Mic Tuesday, which added to the charm and fun. Outstanding burgers (the only food we tried on this visit) and reasonable prices. Just enjoy it.“

“See the photos for review.“

“It’s an incredible view with an incredible array of wines, and the wine whisperer has a bubbly demeanor as sparkling as the finest champagne!“

“Excellent establishment, great employees and coffee“

“I love it here! They’ve got the best espresso“

“Great happening place in quite island!!“

“This place is top notch! Local, farm to table Italian food. They have several starters that could be combined for a meal with no regrets. They make their own pasta, light as a feather, nice sized portions, still safe to also get a starter or two. Entree options are always spectacular and the wine and beer selection curated to suit your meal. In season on Wednesday nights they do smash burgers (local meat or house-made veg patty, both delish). Burgers are 3:30 pm until they run out, cooked in the outdoor wood oven. I’m told the pizzas will be back soon, too. These are not ordinary burgers and pizzas, they are art. Dessert? One could come here just for dessert. The brunch served on the weekends is so ridiculously good. Not to be missed. This is not fast food, it’s sit a spell and savor food. Choose a table in the garden on a warm, sunny day. Inside it is cozy, too, with a communal table in the back or private tables in the dining room. Recommend. 👍 ♥️“

“This place is amazing! The pizza is delicious the drinks are perfect and the staff is phenomenal. They are dog friendly on the patio and I will definitely be going back everytime I visit the island. 😊“

“Amazing pizza! Love seeing a great pizza place on Lopez!“

“Great spicy Mac and cheese!“

“Long-time (~25 years) favorite San Juan Islands destination. Kathy and crew are great hosts. Amenities equal to, or greater than any other, and at an affordable price.“

“Though it’s a taproom only, they’ve partnered up with Oyster tale next door so you can order some amazing food directly from your table!

The beer selection here is amazing, they also have GF and wine options. Great selection of games, and the views can’t be beat.“

“I absolutely love this place. Hands down best breakfast in town.“

“Great breakfast and mimosa. I especially loved the tater tots in lieu of hashbrowbs.“
