50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Chicago

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!“

“Ignore the weird racist comments – the food here is pretty good! Margarita was lovely, fries were great, schnitzel was juicy and tender. Falafel was nice and green, although a little underspiced. Staff was great and friendly. I will be back!“

“Borrowing the wise words of our epic Chicago historian Shermann Dilla Thomas Goose Taproom is one of the dopest places in the dopest cities (located near the United Center) Why so?Not surprisingly, the crew that works is there is above and beyond amazing! From the tap manager to the bar tenders, to the tour guides, to the brewers, and the list goes on. This is a must if visiting town and especially if your a local. This place benefits from local patronage as we can be part of a tourist’s experience! Despite Chicago’s segregated neighborhood design, this place embraces love and diversity for all folks. I know this first hand having organized diverse musical events.They of course are know for their beers and you will find on site ONLY options that are amazing and very LIMITED.You can bring your own food, family, and they have menus onsite to order in.You may run into amazing Goose Taproom reps like Nick, Chris, Brian, Johnny, Julian, Kelsie, Eliseo, and more that provide top notch professional customer service that you just won’t find at most places. It is a rather magical dream team.Parking is usually easy and there are dope spots within a 2-3 drive to get coffee Metric (pricey yet good) pizza - Dante’s or Tortorice's Pizza, vegan food - Liberation Kitchen/Upton’s, and a bakery - Publican Bakery (pricey yet good).This place is a must, again for all tourists (yes families are welcome for well behaved kids ?; and especially for you beautiful Chitown locals (yes born and raised or yuh been here most your life).“

“Food was great, but service was lacking.Wait was quite long on the weekend, but that was expected. If I were to go again, I'd probably bring my own latte for the line, ha. But the maiz con leche was everything I hoped it would be. The longanisa was superb. I couldn't identify the spices, but it had such a different balance than what I'm used to in Latin cuisine.They have an odd ordering/seating system where you order at the front, pay, but then they don't sit you for a while, then they sit you, then they bring you out your food.They came by 4 times during our brunch to tell us that they couldn't find our lattes in the system. Not once did they ask what the lattes were. They eventually brought out the lattes as we were just finishing our meals (and obviously found them in the system since they brought out the right ones). Since we already tipped, I guess no incentive to do anything about the poor service. They didn't comp the lattes, they didn't bring out a little dessert, etc. like you might see in a any other restaurant.Obviously they need to make the ticketing system more accessible to their waiters or train them on it better.“

“This place is the coolest bar I have been to in a long time, hip and fun but not pretentious. They paid attention to every detail when building and designing. The white marbel bar has clean lines and looks fresh. All of the hardware finishes look sharp and clean. The patio is large and inviting with a fire place and plenty of tables to sit at. The drink menu is creative and refreshing and the staff is kind and welcoming. I cannot say enough good things about this gem of a bar. I am excited to hang out this fall on the patio by the fireplace with good drink in My hand.“

“Excellent meal. The freshest ingredients from start to finish. Highly recommend Andros!“

“Local WIN—after my visit here, I understand why they are rated #1. We ordered a veggie pizza + pepperoni/sausage/mushroom pizza. Both (deep dish) were layered with delicious flavors and crust was delightfully cooked. Our server Margie was wonderful too! Decor/vibe is as casual as can be. (P.S. I am not into deep dish, yet highly recommend because of how delicious the pizzas were).“

“Not going to lie, the beer “A Smile With A Future In It” hazy double ipa, is honestly one of the best beers I’ve ever had.Truly, all of my protons, neutrons, and electrons (basically all of my atoms) light the heck up upon tasting. P.s. Marcus the bartender is a gem & will take the best care of you. Love this Spot!“

“This food and service is rare in Chicago. The food is rich authentic Italian. Let me stress the word “Rich”.The service is superb. Incredibly the servers always have a deep understanding of the menu and I’ve never felt like there is a rush to have us eat and leave. Over 6 years we have never been disappointed. It is clear the owners care about this business. Theyshare it with us with old world diligence and charm.“

“2nd time coming here. Food is phenomenal. Never had chicken with honey butter or pimento cheese with fries. When you put the butter on the chicken, the melted butter, the crispy texture, and the juices of the chicken just melts in your mouth. As far as the pimento cheese goes, the sauce has a bit of a tomato hint blending in with the cheese when you have it with the fries.“

“We had a terrific experience here. Great service, atmosphere, and the Hong Kong style curry cuttlefish was to die for. Will definitely be back“

“We celebrated a graduation with family and Alma was the perfect setting for this event. We sat at an outside table with the ballgame on and ambiance was lovely. Food and drinks were fantastic and the service was excellent. Our server, Jane, even put congratulations graduate signs on our table for us to take pictures with. Would 100% recommend this restaurant.“

“Do you love pickles? Forget about pickle fest in Wrigleyville. Come to Parson’s for the pickle spritz and other pickle themed drinks. Also definitely get the hot chicken or fish sand-which.Vegetarian options: Non chicken sandwich available“

“Parsons is my absolute favorite place to go in the summer to sit outside with the dog, have some great frozen drinks and some yummy food. Sitting outside is like a huge barbecue, the awkward family reunion type. Super chill vibe, lots of people just having a good time and enjoying the sun. The fried chicken sandwich, fish sandwich, and hush puppies are amazing. If you have better restraint than I do and can eat your food slowly like a normal human being, he won’t leave feeling like you need a nap. Highly recommend the hush puppies she just wishes he could sit on the bench and drool closer to us“

“Great vibes, incredible staff! Beautiful patio space and free WiFi - I love finishing up my work notes for the day while having a cocktail here. My favorite night is Mario Kart night on the last Wednesday of every month. Truly a gem of Logan Square!Wheelchair accessibility: ADA accessible building and bathrooms.“

“Nice establishment and great atmosphere“

“There is no where else in Chicago I would rather watch a game with my friends at! Parlay truly has it all, wonderful food and drinks, fantastic service always willing to accommodate anything! You will be doing yourself an absolute disservice by going anywhere else. Thankful for Parlay opening and all the good times it has provided.“

“my best friend and I just had the BEST experience at the whale! Our waitress taylor was incredible and the manager (so sorry but we never got his name because he was just being so nice to us) was incredible as well. We will definitely return with friends and recommend anyone to try it out! classy, but not snobby, cool decor, warm kind and accommodating staff, and great food and cocktails are just the cherry on top! try the carrot cake after your meal :) Thank you again to taylor and the manager again <3“

“i am so grateful for such a wonderful evening at lula cafe! i went with a friend last night and the service, the food, and the atmosphere truly were all five stars. the staff were just so lovely, it felt as if i'd been coming for years and was a cherished regular. we started with the baked feta and it actually came with more than enough delicious sourdough to enjoy it with. you ever notice how a lot of places will give you something delicious to dip, but you run out of something to eat it with? haha clearly lula cafe wants you to just eat and have fun - they take care of the rest. my main was delicious and the ricotta ice cream with chocolate and cherries? i could have eaten a litre. thanks again!!“

“Eravamo in 4 a cena e siamo rimasti soddisfatti sia del cibo che del servizio . Il locale era pieno di gente ma la cameriera Maria ci ha serviti velocemente e in maniera simpatica e professionale. Le pizze che abbiamo mangiato sono state ottime. Ristorante consigliato.“

“This place is really good. Went in with a friend and had an absolutely great time. It's a nice spot for a date or even small get together or solo. The food was very tasty (can't remember everything we got but it was all good) and the drinks were too. This is a little of a delayed review but I would definitely recommend this establishment. Great service as well.“

“The food was great. The wait staff was courteous and professional.“

“The food and staff were amazing! Such a friendly staff who were extremely welcoming and attentive. I have never ordered ‘seconds’ at a restaurant until today! The tostadas were out of this world and the shrimp taco was delicious. A must try!“

“Great Custard, hot dogs, & Service!“

“Small interior, but very nice outdoor patio space to eat at. Started with the chicken pot pie. Nice crispy crust and a great balance of peas, carrots, and chicken. Great flavors but the chicken was a little overcooked messing with the overall texture of the pie filling. The reason I came was to try a sweet pie and ended up getting the chocolate pud’n. The pudding and cocoa whipped cream had perfect consistencies with the pudding being slightly thicker. Dark chocolate curls on top being a nice touch and everything being encompassed by the crust which reminded me of brownie brittle. The slice was not overly sweet but gave me all the chocolate flavor I needed. Can’t wait to come back and try some of their other sweet pies as well the mushroom pot pie.“

“Friendly and helpful staff“

“Great beers Great atmosphere. Friendly staff!!“

“good food and good service“

“The flavours were exceptional, I tried a bunch of flavours while I was there and ended picking two of my favourite the goat cheese caramel and the non dairy strawberry (which was really yummy with the coconut milk in it)Dietary restrictions: They have non dairy optionsWheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible“

“Cozy brewery & distillery nestled in a neighborhood and against the train tracks & highway.Great selection of unique beers and cocktails made from in house spirits. Some of the beers you can find in stores, others are unique to the location.They do still do scheduled beer releases you may only be able to get on location.You can bring in food, but there's also a selection of pizza that is pretty good.Only gripe would be that it was a bit difficult to find, if you hug the road that goes against the tracks its very narrow and basically an alley. Part of the charm though, makes the place feel like it's hidden.“

“We love Malaysian food especially Peranakan! The portions are American hahaha but it's okay. The Char Kway Tiau, Nasi Lemak, Satay, Ayam Masak Merah etc., etc., etc. Just great food and the owner engages with patrons. Oh yes, Chili Crabs finger licking good“

“Super , tasty food and nice atmosphere“

“Rejoice! The place for some great Chinese teas had arrived near you! Yes, it does share the fad with the Taiwan born boba drinks. But our eye was caught by the nice website with images of nice teacups and ambiance. Only 23 miles away from home we discovered that the trip in a hot and still pandemic day was totally worth it. In few words owner, Shaolong picked the teaist vibes in us and offered us a great real experience of sharing a favorite tea - he introduced us to the wonders of Zhang Ping Shui Xian (漳平水仙). Unlike the real "black tea", the Pu-erh, this one also comes in bricks, yet is a type of oolong with an amazing floral scent. We were honored with 4 different samples which we are currently slowly and thoroughly testing (3 pics). And yes, the fermentation levels are different - some definitely will give you a great oolong taste, but others are just a unique elixir on its own. But back to the house itself. I see and hope for great unrolling potential. This could become a place for tea lovers and teaists in training. Why not theme days, classes, shared experiences, a club? We would join. The 23 miles are a drive, but there isn't much of a real tea-drinking place in our Chicagoland (unlike smaller cities in North America like Portland and Montreal). However, Living Water Tea House is a great promise and it totally won our full support! Keep the cups warm!“

“Original cocktails in an original setting. Very good service, very good drinks that you won't find everywhere (their own touch on the classics too), good ingredients and bottles behind the bar. Pick your atmosphere: you can sit a the counter where it's more like a speakeasy, or at a table in the bustling bar, or in the lobby area of the apartment building where it's more like a quieter lounge. My favorite bar in uptown.“

“New menu time again at our favorite Chicago restaurant. Appetizers we chose were the new Jumbo Buffalo Shrimp on top of their homemade coleslaw. Amazing. So lightly breaded, it was all shrimp, yet the flavor was soaked all the way in without needing all that breading. Loved it! We also loved the lobster topped deviled eggs. I had entree of New York strip salad, Jen had the tuna steak salad and we split the warm carrot cake with candied nuts on top for dessert. New menu but awesome as usual!“

“they have good food and their plats are vary big and good staff“

“Best Italian Ice I've tasted. loved the variety of flavors and super friendly staff 10/10 would recommend.“

“Cozy neighbor bar experience. A very nice draft beer selection. Wednesday’s are 1/2 off wine bottles.“

“This is the most amazing cocktail bar I’ve ever been to and it’s not even close. The size of the bar is perfectly intimate; the music selection is perfectly chill; the neighborhood vibe isn’t off putting to strangers (I’m from San Francisco) and very welcoming overall; the decor is beautiful, not too posh but just enough that you know you’re in an establishment that takes what they do seriously. Last but not least, Britt (bartender) was amazingly talented, knowledgeable, passionate and skilled at cocktail making. She makes a great cocktail and will educate you if you let her, making your experience all the better since you learn how to appreciate her craft more. Like I said, best cocktail bar I’ve ever been to and it’s not even close.“

“Tonight, the Wife and I asked for a table of 4, saw multiple tables open. Host replied with "Looks like we're not going to have table free for the rest of the night." Our 2 friends walked in about 5 minutes after us for a table, Host proceeds to not automatically deny them and asks the servers. Servers apparently had a problem with having another table until another server came worked it out. Finally, Wife and I walk back in to join our friends and overhear 2 servers discussing with the host about not seating anyone after 9pm (they close at midnight btw) Great to know that you wanting to close early is more important than actually doing your jobs and making easy money (we only got drinks and 2 apps) Pathetic, will not come back. Sayonara!“

“Some of the best grilled seafood in the city and that's saying something. Top 2 in the city along with Dees" IMO. Very seasoned without being salty. My guess is garlic. Crabs are my go-to. The corn, potatoes, and turkey necks are all tasty too.“

“Great food thanks for the house phone“

“We just moved to the area and my wife and I finally made it to Websters wine bar. We were greeted by the friendly hostess, and made our way to the overflow bar in the back. The setting was quaint and intimate.We were greeted by the knowledgeable beverage director Nick. He brought a taste of a nice Bordeaux as a welcome gesture which we appreciated. We gravitated toward an Italian bottle and had the frites. The aioli was pleasantly citus forward.Thank you for the hospitality!“

“Such a great place! A must try restaurant!“

“Such an amazing place. Not only did we have our wedding reception here, but LOVE THIS PLACE“

“Cool spot. Very nice open atmosphere. Plenty of seating inside and out. Clean. Good food. Good beer selection. Self serve is cool for a change. Staff is friendly. Dogs are not allowed inside because they serve food but there is a decent outdoor area where they are allowed. There is room for improvement with the music they are playing. They could use touch tunes in here. Overall, a good experience. Will recommend, will return.“

“So much more than pizza. The food is excellent. The pizza is like what you have in Italy. Highly recommend.“

“What an amazing time! The Breakfast Pie (Louisiana Hand Pie) was absolutely delicious, and their Matcha was the perfect accompaniment. The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming - I felt right at home! The decor, with its New Orleans vibes and charming masks, creates such a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Loved every moment of my visit!“

“Thank you for hosting Open Mic night. Wonderful experience. We’ll be back.“

“Flo is awesome! Delicious & good value. Easy, comfortable neighborhood spot. Weekend brunch is fun. I particularly love dinner...amazing homemade chips and guac. Love the burger & fries!! And classic steak tacos. Perfect margaritas.“
