50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Waunakee

“It’s the local spot. Great owner and staff, good prices, live music, meat raffles, friendly atmosphere. The Mizzo is the shizzo.“

“This was our third here and as during the previous two we were extremely happy with our visit. This time we got to meet the owner and we were all very impressed with him. Staff is great, wine is wonderful which my wife her friend enjoyed, and there were several beers option for my buddy and me to choose from. We sat outside and enjoyed a relaxing time with the smell of pine trees topping our experience. We will be back again and again.“

“Cool place; love the logo .. brisket tacos were good“

“We held a birthday party at State Line Distillery on short notice due to weather concerns with the outdoor venue that was planned. They were exceptionally welcoming and extremely accommodating. So many guests commented on what a great space State Line offers—both inside and outside. Not to mention the delicious high-quality drinks and friendly, helpful staff. High praise and top recommendations for this local gem. 💜“

“I got the woodsman pizza which tasted delicious, a little oily for me. The service was fast, efficient and the hostess welcome us kindly. Because it’s was a weekday they were not busy at all. Definitely a place I would go back, I like the atmosphere too, inside it has a red decor and with the candles looks cool. Also the price is great!“

“It’s hard to make food a sexual experience but the Spicy Shrimp Po’ Boy f***** my face. Fuckin’ F**** a lot of places tone spice down for ‘general pop’ but this place gives it to you raw. If it says spicy it’s spicy but it also delivers a balance of flavor with heat. It was an explosion of awesome in my mouth. So, if you are looking to eat some delicious food while in Madison and need a foodgasm, visit Stadium Take Out you will have your mind blown.“

“I love this restaurant when visiting Madison. My most recent visit I had the rigatoni vodka pasta which I really enjoyed. Taylor was our waitress and she was awesome! She was very attentive, checked on us throughout the meal, and truly made our visit a lot of fun! She is so personable and we loved our conversation with her. If you get the chance to have Taylor as your waitress, take it. She is worth asking for!!“

“Top notch atmosphere, great drinks, good food and snacks, dog friendly. Feels like a cabin in the northwoods. I want to decorate my basement to resemble the Muskellounge because it just has the perfect feel. A must stop whenever we are in town. Highly recommend this place.“

“Not stop-sign red. Not barn-side red.
Not Wisconsin-maple-October red.
I mean tuna red. Roe red. Glow red.
Somehow the sea slipped into Madison,
borrowed a bowl of rice, and learned to roll instead.

Tuna cut clean with a ruby-red sheen,
salmon burns orange beside avocado green.
Slice, rice, precise, nice. Roll, roe, bowl, whole.
Dip, drip, chopstick grip, let soy take control.
Little edible mosaics, rolled tight for the soul.

Soft beside crunch, cool beside heat,
sweet meeting salty where rice meets the sea.
Then comes wasabi. Easy there, friend.
One dab too deep and your sinuses ascend,
then ginger sweeps through and resets you again.

There’s something delightfully backwards in play:
Wisconsin has no ocean, yet here comes the spray.
No gulls. No surf. No saltwater mist,
just chopsticks gone fishing with a flick of the wrist.
One piece. Two pieces. Three cease to exist.

Then someone asks, “Want another roll?”
Dear friend, that is how they swallow you whole.
So when Madison supper needs something instead,
get raw, get rolled, get remarkably fed.
Follow the ruby, the roe, the roll. See RED.

Peace. Piece. Peas.

“We had such a great experience! The service was fantastic, the cocktails were excellent and it was a great atmosphere!“

“Chocolate Shoppe catered our wedding dessert and they were completely perfect! They bring a truck with about ten flavors including 1-2 DF flavors, and scoop into dishes or cones. The guests loved it on a hot, summer day, and it felt a lot more memorable than cake. They were super easy to work with in booking the event and the employee who worked our event was so kind. It was a huge hit and the ice cream was, of course, delicious! We would definitely book them again for a large event and would recommend them to friends.“

“Fantastic cozy bar. This was our first stop on a round of three different bars recently and was by far our favorite. The decor is somewhat sparse and reminiscent of an art gallery, but the lighting and fun amenities (arts & crafts, coffee table books, Thursday night free snacks) add to the charm. The drinks were unique and fresh and the service was good. I appreciated the offerings of N/A beverages that weren’t just soda on tap. I had a grapefruit Sage fizzy N/A drink and my spouse had a lovely gin mixed drink (gin, passion fruit, tea). Definitely will be back!“

“Great cider creations!! Always something different and delicious. Worth taking some cider home too. They also have food trucks and live music sometimes.“

“The best sandwiches I’ve found in madison. Chill atmosphere, incredible food. Probably the best meatball sub I’ve ever had. All I wanted today was a sandwich and couldn’t have prepared for the absolute beauty that was placed in front of me, quite quickly I might add. Check this place out or you’re absolutely missing out!“

“Excellent pizza, we’ve never had a bad experience (ordering more than just pizza), and we’ve been 10+ times!“

“Just two of us on a Thursday evening. The food was delicious and came to the table piping hot. Family size portions were very generous. Service was excellent.The place was very clean. Our favorite was the Triple Delight. Will definitely dine here again and also try carry out.“

“Hands down one of my favorite coffee places!! Many drink options as well as pastries that are to die for! The customer service there is also top notch on making you feel welcomed and helping find the best drink for you! If you’re in a rush, order online ahead and start your day off amazing!!“

“Y'all.…. this place is out of this world!! Everything from the wine, appetizers, entrée desserts and coffee are just phenomenal!! Do not pass this place up! I love the line of this chef… The way the music goes, that’s the we dance! And that’s exactly what this place is all about. Everyone loves this place! Tony Bennet and famous athletes from all over - including Reggie Bush!“

“Haven promises to live up to it's name and rather more. In the midst of many, many new Asian restaurants on or near State Street, Haven stands out for having a warm, open, well-lit and tasteful atmosphere--including not only a few games but a well-chosen, literate bookshelf that welcomes you to linger. The tea selection finally brings us back to the long-lost day of Dobra tea, finally expanding the State Street area Asian dining experience beyond bag tea. The food is equal to these other successes. I had the braised beef noodle bowl. This was a generous, flavorful no-nonsense bowl with a goodly bone-n joint of beef in the midst of the other hearty chucks of meat. The broth and the noodles were up to the same generous, flavorful standard. I observed in passing that they seem to have the liquor selection they will need to fit in with State Street, though that isn't a reason why I stopped in. I will certainly be back.“

“I’ve been here about10x and have never been disappointed . Lots of yummy veganized options of classic meaty items“

“One of my favorite foods is pastys, I was excited to learn about this place, otherwise you would find them normal in the u.p area of Wisconsin. All of the varieties are great! Had the chicken tikka masala one today, was awesome! I do like they wrap it in foil, because my 40min drive home it's still warm!“

“Our waiter was very polite, kind, and prompt. The food was a cut way above a typical ethnic food restaurant. Very unique as well as delicious choices. Definitely ranks at the top of my list of places to dine. Five stars!“

“always solid pizza, great crust!“

“The best coffee, and more delicious mocha! I Love this place. Tracy is an excellent host!“

“The Kava is amazing. Great little place with games and books. Very relaxing, check it out!“

“Thank you Lily and Tip Top for hosting some weary travelers with amazing food and a dog friendly patio. We had the best food, and the patio was like an oasis, beautiful!“

“Great pizza. Perfectly charred underneath. Some of The most flavorful pizza sauce I’ve had in Madison. All around delicious“

“Stopped in yesterday on a whim on our way out of town. Excellent selection and such a cozy spot. Will definitely be back the next time we’re in town!“

“El Grito stopped by my clinic to bring delicious tacos and cheer to our healthcare workers during this crazy time. The tacos we had were smaller, so you didn’t feel guilty eating all of them real quick. The flavor was awesome too! I highly recommend adding the mango habanero sauce, if you like that extra kick! I wish they were here all the time!“

“Delicious! I'm so glad I tried this place. Amazing flavor, gluten free choices, healthy, and SO yummy!!!“

“Organic and extremely tasty beer. Wednesday pizza from Origin Breads was fantastic too!!“

“This European style tavern is a classic throw back.
The bar itself has some of the best local, national and international beers served in town. And served in proper glassware.
The back bar is stocked with a wide and varied selection of high quality whiskies and spirits.
There is something here for everyone.
Whether you’re looking to meet up with folks or are seeking a drink while reading your current book, this place is for you.
Kudos to the team for bringing this to Madison and keeping it alive!“

“Best bagels anywhere! Worth the trip.“

“Everything we tried here was delicious. I highly recommend this place!“

“how can you go wrong, awesome menu, lovely bartenders & great cooks... I'd be surprised if you have a bad thing to say here“

“The best coffee, and more delicious mocha! I Love this place. Tracy is an excellent host!“

“Small town feel in the big city. Super friendly atmosphere. The owner was so nice. The owner said he makes the andouille with his son, which also won us over! This place is a Gem!!! We will stop everytime we are in that area for sure!!!“

“Great food and service! Very friendly atmosphere.“

“Love the charming European Grand Cafe vibes. An abundance of outdoor seating is available. Our server was very attentive and had great recommendations for drinks and food. One of the smoothest bloodys I have had. Food was absolutely delicious! What a great spot for brunch and enjoying a view of Madison.“

“Great GF beer. Deep flavors not found in most of the crap on the grocery store shelves.“

“Very good tasty food with a nice variety and presentation and atmosphere“

“I would give this place 10 stars if I could! My car broke down and I rolled into the parking lot of the Springfield Inn. I was so lucky to have found the place. Everyone there was so friendly and helpful to my daughter and me. Thank you Kim!“

“Great food, great service, nice patio, and some really good beers. Dog friendly on the patio. Highly recommend.“

“This place has consistently great food and attentive service! The outdoor patio is a nice place for people watching as well. Stop in and try a "machete!"“

“We ordered the all-you-can-eat sushi dinner for $30, and the quality and abundance of food eaten made it worth the cost. A wide selection of sushimi and sushi, as well as appetizers, and an assortment of entrees too. There are many items to choose from on the menu so even if you're not a sushi eater there's likely something for you. Good service but there can be a wait between courses if it's busy.“

“The shop is adorable and has such a cozy atmosphere, it’s a great place to sit and get some work done.

The real highlight, though, is their chai. I’m a huge chai drinker, and their iced chai, the “Chai’d & True” is easily the best I’ve had in Madison. It’s always perfectly balanced and consistently delicious.

The food menu is pretty limited with a few pastries options and honestly they are hit or miss which is the only reason I can’t leave 5 stars. Overall, I’d absolutely recommend stopping by if you’re looking for a cute coffee shop with excellent chai.“

“Best burger I have had in LONG time. All the stars. Thank you!“

“We tried this place for the first time, and as a boba tea lover, my wife and I both absolutely loved the flavor. The atmosphere inside is really nice, and even though we came late, we were welcomed warmly. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to have a good time.“
