42 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Charlottesville

“I was taken aback to find parking meters in their lot, so I found street parking nearby. I went for breakfast at 9am on a weekday, and they had counter service (but the charge machine still asked for % tips ?). It was easy to find a table by a window, and I enjoyed the casual vibe of the place. I didn't love that for dine-in my sandwich came in paper and foil instead of on a plate, so I flattened the wrapper out on the table as a make-shift plate. But they are already washing cups and saucers and silverware, how hard would it be to put the food on a plate?!?! The latte (in a proper mug) was good, and the sandwich was phenomenal.I love egg sandwiches, and the one I had here was so good. The brioche was so soft, pillowy and buttery, and the sausage and egg were the perfect size for it and perfectly cooked. It was rich without being greasy at all. It is kind of a ridiculous price for an egg sandwich ($12 I think), but it really was more refined than even what I make at home, so I'll be back to try some of the other variations.“

“A go-to recommendation for larger parties (6-8), vegetarians, or parties with a variety of tastes and preferences. You'll get high-minded flavors in a relatively casual setting with excellent service. Oakhart has some of the best vegetable dishes in the city (beets or charred carrots), while also offering excellent pizzas. The cocktails are creative and affordable ($13). Consistently a five star experience.“

“Everything I've ever had from Corner Juice has been delicious. Their Dank Sinatra smoothie has been the only nutrients we can get into my mom in the hospital lately. The staff are so incredibly kind and compassionate, I can't say enough positive things about this business.“

“What an incredible little restaurant. I still can’t believe we happened across it! My boyfriend and I live in DC and eat out quite frequently, and Tavola topped some Michelin star restaurants we’ve tried. We were blown away by the kindness and knowledge of the sommelier and staff, the generosity and talent of the kitchen, and the overall atmosphere and ambiance. Every dish was on point, every service mark was hit, and I could write paragraphs about the wine recommendations. I would rate it more than five stars if I could. Huge thank you to Clay, Caleb, Kendall and everyone else we met for making our night so memorable. If you’re thinking about opening another location I vote DC!“

“We took our family here for an impromptu brunch during the week. There was no wait and the staff were very friendly, helpful, and efficient. The atmosphere is cool with an old federal architecture vibe and definitely gives you that historical Charlottesville feel while also being modern/sophisticated. The food was fantastic. You can’t go wrong here!Kid-friendliness: The staff and restaurant are easy for those with small children. Very accommodating and plenty of space for high chairs/strollers without interrupting other guests.“

“Staff were very attentive and helpful with our food and beverage selection. When it got crowded, it got a little loud but you could still hold a conversation. T-shirts and goodies were cheap!!!! Parking was good. I'll go back when I visit!!“

“We visited Tonic on what was probably the nicest day of weather this year, so that definitely factored into our experience. For cocktails we ordered a "wabbit-season," a G&T, a beet drink and an "al Pastor." All were fantastic but the Wabbit-season was the standout favorite. The charcuterie board was great and had unique flavors. The pork belly sandwich was really top-tier good! Service was great too. All in all, we can't recommend Tonic enough--especially on a nice day!“

“Excellent food and friendly staff. The platters, kisir and lahmacun were incredible. Everything was perfectly prepared and so fresh. Thank you!“

“Food is amazing and the staff exemplify that of a fine dining experience but in a casual and fun atmosphere!“

“Great atmosphere and probably the best burger I’ve ever ate. I’m new to the area and was really looking for something special that reminds me of just home and I found it and more. A must to all the new travel nurses in the area.“

“Love Guajiros. Everyone is so accommodating, friendly and stylish. Love the food, music, COFFEE and music.“

“A very nice sprawling winery. The views and scenary are just amazing.Also the wine is good. I did the red flight and enjoyed each one. I do think I like the meritage the most though.Service was very friendly and easy going. And the scene is very relaxing as it is.Edit: second time here from florida, and still great.“

“Blue Ridge Pizza Catering was a great choice for our wedding. The appetizers, salads and pizzas were delicious. They were extra accommodating of special dietary needs. Our guests loved it all. The staff was very professional and very helpful. I would certainly recommend them for any event.“

“Beautiful rustic atmosphere. Baguettes are to die for“

“This place is great. I've been here a couple of times now. The last time was for a sea shanty show and it was packed. There were cars parked down the access road. It was great. The music was fun, the staff was friendly and attentive even though they were swamped. My kid loved running around on the grass outside.Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian banh mi.“

“Omg as a foodie I can say that the food there is just so good everything is fresh and taste delicious. Will definitely come back .“

“I really like Möge Tea and so far it's the best boba milk tea I've found in Charlottesville and my boyfriend agrees.The inside of the store is super cute. There is plenty of places to sit. The aesthetic is mostly white with mixed materials (concrete, stone, etc) with green plants. So it's really cute/aesthetic. It is also SUPER clean!You can order at the kiosks at the counter or save a few cents and order directly from an attendee. We picked the kiosk so we could take our time and customize the drinks without annoying a worker. The workers all seem nice though so I'm sure they wouldn't mind. There are tons of customization options and the kiosks are easy to use. Prices are about $7 a drink - very comparable to any other specialty drink place (other boba places, Starbucks, etc).I had the creme brûlée milk tea and subbed oat milk since I am lactose intolerant. They allow you to change the level of sweetness which I really like because often I feel like the teas come too sweet. I did 50% and my boyfriend ordered a earl grey bubble milk tea with regular milk and 100% sweetness.Mine came with some cheese foam on top - this was actually delicious. It's not cheese flavored like Mac and cheese it's just like a mild cream cheese flavor. Very yummy. I was honestly surprised at how good the creme brûlée flavor was it didn't taste artificial and I often encounter that. The sweetness level was perfect - I almost think 100% sugar would've tasted totally fine, they do a good job of not overdoing the sugar for the regular drinks.I tried my boyfriends and it was great. The 100% sugar was sweet but well balanced and the earl grey flavor was so good and delicious - and I hate earl grey flavored drinks most of the time. This was great.Both of the bubbles in our teas were well cooked - many placed in Charlottesville cook boba poorly and Möge teas are so well done. The cups they come in are also really nice, they seem almost like they could be reusable. Whatever material they are I felt fancy drinking out of it :)I don't give 5 stars often but am pretty sure this is the best boba in Charlottesville so this deserves it.“

“LOVE THIS PLACE! It’s fantastic from top to bottom, from Barbie to barn. Can’t wait to come back (probably tomorrow morning for lunch!)“

“SK has a warm ambiance with comfortable seating areas that provides the perfect place for catching up with friends over a cup of coffee or a lazy study date. The baristas are very friendly and love giving recommendations! SK's is an absolute must visit!“

“My husband and I were greeted warmly by Mary, who took care of us and guided us through our amazing experience. We’re not drinkers, so we had Elderberry Mocktails. They were REALLY good. The atmosphere was cozy but trendy. For our apps, we enjoyed the Pimento Fritters, Fried Oysters and Pork Belly. All three were fantastic. Our entrees were the NY Strip and also the ribs. Both entrees came with beautifully flavored collards and whipped potatoes. Just phenomenal. I give Mary 10/10 for her suggestions, friendliness and making our experience special. Maya was really great. We highly recommend! Marquis and Juli Jayne“

“We got the apple cider and the apple donuts and they were so good!! both were tasting so fresh and you can just taste how organic and authetnic it tasted! the service was so good, the people who worked there were so so so sweet and made us feel at home!! :) the absolutely both breath taking views at this orchard with view of the rocky mountains and the gorgeous cville below, i would highly recommend! :)“

“I’m from Virginia Beach and decided to drive to Charlottesville for my 2 days off. Discovered Decipher. Little did I know I came across some of the best beer I’ve ever had! The Kolsch is great especially! It was great talking to Mike as well about breweries. He’s always welcome in VB to my brewery Wasserhund! I’ll definitely be back here though!“

“Stopped by here for lunch during a recent work trip to Charlottesville and loved it so much I returned the next four days. Everything I had was delicious, but my favorites were the tomato bisque and the gobbfather sandwich. I agree with some other reviewers that there was a bit too much spicy mayo, but that's definitely not a dealbreaker. I was also very impressed with their iced coffee. Highly recommend!“

“Great place to meet with friends or watch the game. I had a flight, and these were the biggest pours I've ever seen on a flight very filling. Good variety of pours to choose from if you are not sure what you like there.My only concern I had was that they shared the restroom with another bar next door, and the other place was a bit rowdy. Going to the back for the restroom, I saw a lot of people hanging out and being loud. As a female, take someone with you to the restroom if you see a crowd hanging out by it just for safety.“

“So happy this Starbucks opened. The staff is kind, my drinks are delicious and consistent. They even sometimes have the cutest samples and displays in the drive-thru area. Everyone there just seems like they genuinely enjoy their job, which means a lot when you need a quick pick me up on the way to yours!“

“My friends and I had an amazing first experience w/ Thyme & Co. today! The food was hands-down the best Mediterranean I've had in town... It was so fresh and they made it to order. The wait time may be a little bit longer than some places, but EVERYTHING is made fresh. Rami was amazing as well; very helpful in explaining the menu and ensuring we were comfortable and satisfied. I will DEFINITELY be back and I'll be back often!“

“I have to shout out our server today, Eric, for his friendliness and patience. This was a four hour working lunch! Eric was on point with asking the kitchen about my allergies and double-checking the one dish I forgot to ask about before taking a bite (oops, my bad.) He never made us feel rushed, he sang the "Happy" song along with me, and was just a pleasure to interact with. Oh, and the food was really good, too. Lol“

“On the way home I spotted your truck. I was hungry for lunch and seeing the truck got me excited to try something new. It did not disappoint! I got a smash burger and smothered spuds. Was one of the best meals I’ve had! Thanks for staying open a few minutes later for my order that was super kind! Looking forward to my next meal from your truck!“

“I appreciated the free 1 hour parking.This visitor from the Midwest came due to the request of a grandchild. The options were many. The indoor and outdoor environments were pleasant. The selection of the shop by the child led to a very expensive, low nutritional entrée. I couldn't afford a more well-balanced nutritious meal for either of us.“

“Stopped here as great nephew recommended and had some college experience. Layout was very nice and sat outside. People at the bar were so very friendly and helpful. If we come back to Charlottesville, will definitely return. Just one beer but what was recipe see was very good. Unfortunately it was only our first beer stop that day 0 stars for food as we had nothing here the only drawback and was certainly not their fault but there was a homeless woman in parking lot who was a bit aggressive- standing right next to our car window and looking inside. Little freaky . Great nephew said he’d seen her around there numerous times.“

“Excellent beer in a cozy tap room on the Downtown Mall. This is my husband's favorite Charlottesville brewery.Outside food is welcome and they have menus from nearby restaurants at the bar counter. Indoor seating is either at the bar or at the high-top booths. They also have outside seating on the mall.“

“We had a delightful visit here not just because of the wines, but because of Cynthia and Luke. I had called before we arrived in Virginia and spoke to Cynthia who was informative and friendly. When we came for our tasting, we were lucky enough to get Luke. He is clearly enthusiastic about the wine and knowledgable as well. People like Cynthia and Luke absolutely make the winetasting experience. We so enjoyed our time here and are glad to report our wine made it safely home in our luggage! Thank you both and what a beautiful vineyard.“

“Servers are kind but it seemed a little understaffed. The lobster bisque was overrated and overpriced for my taste. Didn't try anything else on the menu. The music was great, but then again I was one of the ones performing, so does that invalidate my review? ?“

“Red Hub was absolutely delicious! We had pulled pork and roast chicken (which were great) but the real hit was the mashed potatoes, which were incredible. We liked the variety in the menu and their partnership with Farm Bell gave us a lot of options (everything we tried was delicious, even the things that didn’t make our menu). We also used them for bartending and were very happy with the service they provided, even with complicated signature drinks.“

“Best pizza in Charlottesville. Their salads are also top quality.“

“For whatever reason, a good Philly Steak is hard to find in Virginia. Look no more! The Philly Steak here is spectacular! We'll be back to have more, for sure.“

“Food was okay. Certainly not bad food. We got the spicy home made salsa, veggie fajitas, and a combination plate (bean burrito, cheese enchilada, and bean and cheese chili relleno). Service was really good and complimentary chips/salsa were good. They have a few vegetarian options and and willing to help you make things vegetarian. Plates were big. Service was super fast. Prices were cheap. Don’t think I would go back, but it was fun to try. I’d recommend if someone is looking for fast and affordable Mexican near the dt mall.“

“I came here for their nice Sunday brunch. The atmosphere was great. Prices are reasonable and the omelet was my favorite. Cuban Coffee is strong, but I was not a fan of the burrito. Service was great and when we asked for warm water for my friend it came expeditiously.“

“Amazing!!!!!!! The vodka rigatoni is to die for!“

“Brazos Tacos is a great taco shop with innovative tacos. I rate them 5 out of 5 on my VegScale™ (my rating scale for how vegetarian-friendly a restaurant is). They have nine vegetarian tacos, three off which are vegan. My favorite tacos are the Sir Paul and the This Is My Yam. Beautifully crafted tacos. I was intrigued by the tacos that have mashed potatoes, but found that they were texturally a little bit odd. They have a nice kiddie menu and some great sides. Wonderful and fun vibe. Service was great, too. Highly recommend.“

“Just went and saw a movie with my kids, ordered a margarita and it was not to my taste, not saying it was bad, but I didn’t like it and just ordered another drink and told them to take it back, my waitress was so awesome and took it off my tab, I was willing to pay for it, but such great service!!!!“

“Nola food and drink and great people!“
