50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Greendale

“Had an issue with my to go order last Friday. I called and explained and was invited back today to fix the issue.Was very impressed. Food was great.Thank you Josie.See all of you soon.“

“First off, we have been patrons of Explorium Greendale for years. We LOVE their beverages/beer. Their food has really fallen off and we just do not go often anymore. It's such a bummer because it is such a great place in our community. My fish fry was ok, but my husbands fried cod had zero seasoning to the batter. It was literally just fried batter. He is not a tartar sauce user, but in order to get any flavor he needed sauce. Just sad. Our waiter was maybe the biggest dud of a waiter I've had anywhere in awhile. He could not seem to find his smile or energy. Overall it was a disappointing evening beyond our great drinks. Such a bummer, we love this place!“

“Whoever was working the front end cashed at 3 PM on March 16th, 2026 was an absolutely fantastic worker. She took my order, brought it out, cleaned tables out in the dining area (everything was very clean), asked me if I was enjoying my food and told me to have a great day, AND held the door open for an old couple with one of them in a wheelchair. Gotta be a conspiracy from Cane’s with that sequence of events. Seriously though, it was nice to see the cashier put that kind of effort in. Keep it up ya’ll!“

“Went for breakfast. Excellent food & staff were very friendly and efficient. Highly recommend & will return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We didn't know much about Indian food our server Yashwant k was amazing helping us along food was amazing and so was the service... job well done“

“Very nice family restaurant with very friendly staff!! The food came quickly and was delicious! Definitely would recommend to everyone“

“Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Our meals are always delicious no matter what we select, burgers, fish, brunch. Great selection of options. Love the outdoor patio.“

“Great food and great service. Mary Margaret was our waitress and she was SUPER“

“Delicious drinks and cute atmosphere!“

“Went to Kim for my hubby’s bday and we were both extremely pleased with our meals. Normally it should be too much food to eat in one sitting but he and I couldn’t stop! 😆 Looking forward to going again.“

“This is our go-to bar in MKE! We keep coming back because of the atmosphere — and especially because of the bartender, Bred. He’s super cool, always remembers us, and his service is amazing. Plus, the drinks he makes are always on point!“

“Leon's has been on South 27th Street since 1942 and they remodeled in the early 1950s into the neon-lit, walk-up drive-in format that still exists today, meaning the building you're standing in front of has looked more or less like this since before most of your relatives were born. There's no dining room. You walk up to the window, you order, you eat in the parking lot or on the hood of your car, and on a warm Milwaukee evening you are surrounded by a full cross-section of the city doing the exact same thing. It's one of those places that functions as a kind of social institution without anyone having to try.
The custard is made fresh daily with cream and eggs and it shows. The texture is dense and silky in a way that regular ice cream cannot match, which is something food writers have been saying about Leon's for decades and which is still true when you actually eat it. We had the Butter Pecan, which is one of three flavors always on rotation alongside vanilla and chocolate, and it has this nutty sweetness that holds up all the way to the bottom of the cone. The Super Sundae Special is the move if you're not sure what to order: vanilla custard, hot fudge, pecans, and a genuinely generous pile of cherries that they do not scrimp on.
The Hot Fudge Sundae is a separate thing from the Special and equally good, with a fudge that runs thick and warm and doesn't slide off into the cup immediately. We also had a chocolate shake just to see, and it was the kind of chocolate shake that makes you realize you've been settling for lesser versions of the thing for most of your life.“

“Fun place! Always get treated good. Great food and great staff. Alfredo cooks some killer burgers, Bridgett, Josey, Eli are very hardworking and excellent at serving everyone. Bloody Mary is delicious as well.“

“My go to is usually a almond chai or Jolly Green Jenny, a single maple-syrup laced crepe and a side of tofu scramble. Together they satisfy all my sweet salty and savory cravings with a comforting hot beverage. It’s always civilized in there, everyone keeping their voices to a mellow decibel and the greenery all over in the living walls is over the top beautiful. In the summertime it’s gorgeous outside. Michael and his staff are always hospitable and polite and you feel like they’re family taking care of you. It’s a terrific little gem tucked away in a sweet spot. Go there for healthy ish eats but mostly go because it feeds your soul.“

“Such a lovely coffee place. We picked the cute corner for some good coffee and chit chat. The coffee’s we picked were really good. My friend loves matcha coffee and she said it was simply the best.
Would definitely go again if in the area. Next time would like to try more stuff from the cafe.“

“I had the LOUP DE MER Grilled Branzino, Lentils, Walnuts, Brocolini, Caper Vinaigrette 10 out of 10!“

“Good burger,good service in a fun atmosphere“

“If a cup of coffee could flirt with your spirit, Discourse Coffee Workshop on Barkley in Milwaukee would be the one batting its lashes. I ordered the Flora and let me tell you — from the very moment my lips touched the cup, I knew I had stepped into another dimension.

This isn’t just espresso; it’s artistry.
It’s alchemy.
It’s what happens when coffee decides to put on a silk robe, light incense, and whisper poetry.

The first sip? Floral, creamy, soft — yet confident.

That oat milk-kissed espresso wrapped itself around my palate like a warm hug from the universe. The lavender honey syrup added a gentle sweetness, not loud or perfumey — just enough to let you know she’s divine. The rosewater? A subtle spiritual elevation. The candied lemon powder? A bright kiss on the finish. And the fleur de sel sealed it — a tiny spark that made every flavor stand at attention.

I tasted everything. Every intentional note. And with each sip, it only got better.

By the time I reached the bottom of the cup, I wasn't ready to say goodbye. This was easily the best espresso-based drink I’ve ever had. A soft, luxurious symphony in a cup — one that made me close my eyes and appreciate the moment every single time.

Discourse isn’t just serving coffee…
They’re serving portals, rituals, and revelations.

10/10 — Go treat your taste buds to something magical. ✨☕🌸“

“Gorgeous interior and bar area. Excellent food! Excellent wait staff and hosts. Great place to eat, chat and catch up with friends“

“Great selection of taps. Friendly bartenders (Chase) . when in Tosa always visited Lions. Three hundred plus miles away and may not get to visit again. Hope we can tag-off to new visitors to the area. Raise a glass to the crew. When the time is right and lightning strikes go visit the Lions.“

“Everything about the experience was delightful. The coffee and matcha latte was good, the pastries were great, and the soup was delicious!“

“love it! I didn't know there could be so many types of butters and jellies! my fav is the triple decker with bacon.“

“EB Elizabeth Always gives Great Customer Service- Top Notch. Food and atmosphere are always great! Come here often and the experience, atmosphere and food will have me always coming back! Thank-you for awesome time! Stephen“

“Cool vibe and nice beers. We were there for the release of the Mystic Knot series and had a flight of them while listening to live Irish music. What's not to like. Would love to come when I could experience the outside space. We'll be back.“

“Put this at the top of your must-visit Milwaukee list. Enjoyed both amazing beer and hospitality during my visit last evening. We love you Central Waters Brewing 💕“

“Been going to Broken Bat since they moved to their new location on 1st and Pittsburgh. I absolutely recommend this place and its entirety and wish I lived closer. Whether it’s wiffle ball, darts, or kicking back and enjoying a Beach Ball (my personal favorite Pineapple Milkshake IPA) no brewery comes close to offering the atmosphere of Broken Bat. But what really makes Broken Bat so special especially to the city of Milwaukee is they care about the people and the surrounding community. They aren’t here to just make another craft beer and take your dollar. If you’ve ever met the owner Tim you’ll understand what I’m saying. So… Whether you’re in the area or at a local store, grab a beer made by Broken Bat Brewing Company. You’re doing yourself a favor and supporting an establishment that deserves it. PS- if you’re a Marquette fan (or not) -> Find the beer “Ring Out Ahoya” and crack it open during Marquettes deep run this year“

“I have heard good things about the fish fry but was worried it would not live up to the hype not only did it live up to it, it surpassed it. The staff is amazing. I have not had that kind of great, friendly service in a long time. Highly recommend. Will be back for sure!!!“

“Great local place. Very friendly service. And the pancakes were amazing!“

“Went for the first time today for a doggo lunch date with muh fur baby. Wonderful staff and quick service. I noticed negative reviews complaining there was dogs, well no crap it’s the business model and there’s an actual picture of a dog on the door and logo. ANYWAYS price is a little steep but when I got my food holy cow it was delicious. And I love that they have dog friendly menu items available as well. The place is super clean for the amount of guests and animals that come through. Loved that the food pickup and service area is separate from dining. The only downfall was I did pay for pickles and there wasn’t any but I didn’t even notice it until I devoured the first half of my food. No big deal. I ordered the steak sandwich and strawberry limeade which I also love is made by hand with fresh fruit. My dog is now sleeping in a food coma as am I.“

“One of, if not my favorite, MKE places!“

“Amorphic's 3 year anniversary party was absolutely epic. The space is incredible. I can't wait to try the golf simulator. The beer keeps evolving, and it attracts a very nice crowd. I highly recommend bringing friends and building memories.“

“Wife and I went for a long walk along the east side then decided to look for a sushi restaurant. Found this place close by. We ordered 5 different rolls and some veggie Stirfry w a side of rice. Everything was excellent! We had a great experience. Reasonable prices. We would go back.“

“Great place nice people and great Beer !!“

“First time here today was amazing I had the hot mess and it was to die for ! I will definitely be back !“

“Mobcraft beer selection is growing, padishah is back and it's quite good for the first time after reboot!

And their pizzas are amazing with crust that has like 1mm thin crunchy bottom and the rest is fluffy goodness. Toppings are yummy. Seriously, thank you for amazing pizza!“

“love a good fruited sour beer! I had the strawberry rhubarb today and let me tell you it is so good!“

“The service, the food, and the atmosphere were top notch!“

“Love to treat my dog to ice-cream!“

“I’m a frequent FreshFin customer, and I was extremely excited that R & R had gluten-free sweet shoyu!! 😱 My custom bowl was perfect, and there are a lot of really interesting bowls on the menu. Lots of options for different styles, a variety of sides, AND boba tea! ✨ Super friendly staff too, I’m new to the area excited I have a new spot!!“

“My husband and I have been eating at county Claire's for years the food and service is always great sometimes there's a little wait but thats everywhere“

“Found this place on a whim by searching food near me on our way home from St. Lukes. We checked out the menu and were sold! I must say the food was hot and tasty! I had the Onion Burger, My friend the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos. The serving size were plentiful. We will definitely be back and we'll spread the word !! Keep it Up!!“

“Delicious sandwich and “just right” portion and price by itself. I’ll be back for phô!“

“Cute Robot – 3.10.26
Our 416th unique restaurant between Madison and Milwaukee.

First thing that hit us walking in was the music. Straight 80’s bangers all night. I was grooving in my chair. Great vibe.

We started with a few small plates. The spicy edamame was really good and the pan seared pork gyoza were on point. The sunomono cucumber salad was solid once we added a little salt, pepper, and some of the spicy sauce from the edamame. On its own it could have used a little more flavor, but once we tweaked it everything came together nicely.

Drinks were just okay. Nothing bad, but I would probably skip the cocktails and go with an Asian beer. We finished with an Asahi Super Dry, which ended up being perfect. Ours was imported from Italy.

The burger was the star of the show for me. Two patties, and let me tell you those s.o.b.’s were not smashed. Two thick patties. But the real standout was the bun. Buttered and perfectly toasted. Absolute elite bun work. Toasted bun, two thick patties. Simple, filling, very good.

Madda got the chicken katsu sando (🥪) on traditional white bread, which is how they serve it. She was definitely eyeing my buttery toasted buns with a little jealousy though. Pro tip if you order it, ask for extra sides of both sauces for dipping fries.

Madda got regular fries with hers and I went with the Japanese street fries. Crispy McDonald’s style fries with furikake seasoning, spicy mayo, okonomi sauce, and kewpie mayo. The $2 upgrade to go full throttle was worth it.

The plates and bowls were cute, the paper straws were annoying and make life less enjoyable, the 80’s music carried the vibe, and our server Jacqueline was great and very attentive.

Even though we might not order all the same things next time, I’d definitely come back for one of the curries, the breakfast sandwich, and the egg salad sandwich.“

“I absolutely love Ann’s! Pizza, fettuccine, lasagna are all delicious. Last night I had Ann’s penne with chicken and it’s my new favorite! Our waiter, Logan, was amazing also! Definitely a must check out!“

“Great Beer selection, even gluten free options!“

“Everything was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is really friendly and the space was very clean. The employees who took our order were very helpful since it was our first time we each tried different things and we loved every one! I would recommend the iced matcha, gingerbread latte and the dubai chocolate the most if i had to choose specifics.“

“Excelente servicio al cliente!! Un lugar donde se respira paz y armonía, tienen juegos de mesa para jugar con tu familia/amigos. Les aseguro que de entrar por la puerta se sienten las buenas vibras. 100% recomendado!!! No se vayan sin probar sus dulces, frescos y con un sabor riquísimo!!“

“Great tasting latte with vanilla and cinnamon. Super friendly person working behind the counter. There are so many coffee shops in Milwaukee.. i will definitely be back here based on this experience!“

“We had an amazing evening in the specialty roof top decorated and heated dome! Would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a great atmosphere and good food!“

“If you’re reading this, make the reservation. Easily a 10/10 meal. We started with the burrata, their specialty. It was, in a word, divine. The bread was perfectly toasted. The salad underneath the burrata changes seasonally, and the apricot, honey, and truffle oil elevated it beyond expectation. I could have had another order of this for my entrée and been set. My chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Unpretentious but perfectly executed. The potatoes and broccolini came to life with the lemon caper sauce. My husband had the mac n’ cheese with short rib. The creamy mac and tender meat don’t compete in flavor — they’re in a loving, happy marriage. This is what restaurant BBQ mac should be. I’m not usually a crème brûlée person, or at least, I thought I wasn’t. I let my husband pick the dessert, and it did not disappoint. Perfectly creamy and flavorful. This is the experience you want when you decide you’re ordering a dessert. The service was top-notch. The alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks were all delightful. Heirloom MKE delivered one of my favorite dinners to date.“
