39 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Carefree

“We love this place! Their coffee by the bag is wonderful in addition to all of the specialty coffees available by the cup. Lots of delicious pastries are available. They have a lovely, dog friendly patio and the staff and owners are super friendly.“

“Black Mountain Coffee is my absolute favorite place. Everything about it is fabulous: the menu has a nice variety, Everything I've ordered has been delicious, but my favorite is The Easy Street Sandwich with the croissant, staff has always been professional/friendly and make you feel at home.The location is perfect for me; we enjoy going into the boutiques afterward or just a walk around The Dial and hear the birds.“

“Not only was the service amazing the food was incredibly authentic! I have to recommend the Pinsa (think pizza but better) and the Fettuccine Alfredo (the noodles are next level, based on the fettuccine I'd be comfortable recommending any of the pastas!)Will definitely be back up for a date night or maybe a whole family meal soon!“

“My dear friends, Nick & Heather had their wedding rehearsal dinner upstairs at this very hip restaurant, with a nice view from up top.Our servers were genuinely friendly and observant. I could not ask for better, Service.The food was outstanding: fresh, light and delicious. I’m usually the guy that takes pictures of my food lol but I was too busy having a good time.“

“We ordered take out from here while visiting town and WOW! Both of our burgers were cooked to perfection, which is a rarity in takeout. These were some of the best burgers we’ve had- and were from Montana! Highly recommend this place and we’ll certainly be back next time!“

“This place is wonderful, super friendly and they serve cold draft beer! Since in AZ, draft beer seems to be hard to find...The food was delicious, quick and friendly service. We had an early dinner and it was great. We will probably come back to try breakfast. It's located in the Red Truck Plaza in Cave Creek in the back of the plaza. The vibe was 70's 80's rock posters and art. We liked it a lot.“

“Very good pizza! Tastes just like the New Haven Pizzas(Pepe’s, Sally’s and Modern!) Nice char on the crust, you can taste all the ingredients! Highly recommend! Staff is always attentive and polite! We go once a week for our Pizza night!“

“I love BBQ!! The problem with most places is their sides are weak. This place is absolutely the BEST BBQ restaurant I have ever eaten at. From the meats to the sides to the dessert's, I could not recommend this place more! I wish I could give them 10 stars. Cody the owner was super friendly. This is our new go to in cave creek!“

“Excellent lamb chops. Went here for the first time. Tuesday around 7pm. They were busy but No wait. Seated immediately. Prompt service, friendly waitress who suggested the lamb chops. Atmosphere was very pleasant. This was 5 stars. Perfect experience.“

“This looks like a very lively place in the evening,and a GREAT place to relax with a sandwich and a beer! Large dance floor I'm sure is packed on the weekends with live music daily. We visited for lunch on a Friday, when fried whitefish was the special. DELICIOUS! Friendly staff and great food selections make this a good place to stop while in Carefree,AZ!“

“I have been to the Pony Express numerous times and the most recent ownership has by far made it one of the best little restaurants in the area. The food is great and service-to-match. Thanks so much for being the go-to restaurant in the area!“

“Cool location, bar is old and has a lot of character. Food was fresh and flavorful. I loved their pulled pork, it almost tasted like a mixture of a vinegar based sauce with Applewood smoke flavor. Cob salad was super balanced with ingredients and fresh and cold. Large patio area that is dog friendly“

“Know that this is quaint before you go. I go for the food, which is very good. I had the Navajo taco and chicken/beef crispy tacos. All are very good but the Indian Taco I really like. It is on Indian fry bread, which is to my liking. Fast takeout service is a plus. Mark“

“I can't believe I have driven past this place so many times to go eat somewhere else. Burgers are great here. Service was quick. Beers were cold. Live music. A lot of outdoor seating. Cave Creek eating on a patio during spring or fall is the best.“

“Was looking for a dog friendly restaurant after a hike and found Copper Mule on google maps. The service was awesome, everyone came out to greet our puppers which he loved! They quickly brought us all drinks including our dog. The food was great, I got the Copper Melt. Fries were super crispy and the sandwich was honestly perfect. We will definitely be back ☺️“

“Excellent crepes, sweet ?, savory so many to choose from can’t go wrong with either. My favorite is the lemon curd with ever kind of berry you can think of raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and fresh filling of heavenly lemon curd ?. My husband’s favorite is the club it has bacon ? chicken, tomato ? lettuce mozzarella cheese ?. My favorite is the chai ☕️ latte either vanilla or spiced. He is in love ?with the strawberry berrioska cocktail ? Don’t take my word for it just try it!“

“If in Cave Creek and you need a quick bite to eat, Big Earl's is your place. Great fast-food type menu selections, bar-drinks, and super friendly staff made our lunch a stand-out. While you wait, there is also a 1950's style candy store to pick out your vintage dessert. There are only a couple seats inside, so most seating is outside with much of it shaded. Seating choices are the most negative thing I saw if you prefer indoor air-conditioned dining. As for me, I'll stop here again and again.Parking: Parking at busy times could be a challenge here.Wheelchair accessibility: Because of the limited parking and terrain, parking and accessibility here could be a challenge. I'd recommend a pre-visit to see if persons with limited mobility would be comfortable here.“

“Corn chowder average. Hardly any corn. 3 out of 5 for taste.Posole excellent 4 out of 5. Perfect heat and flavor. Pieces of pork rather than pulled pork knocked down to 4 out of 5.Salmon was average 3 out of 5. Farm raised slight pink color.Stuffed chile relleno with shrimp was a 4 out of 5. Very good but served not very hot.“

“We love Soul Cafe, so took some of our out-of-town friends the other night. Gotta say that I was a bit disappointed with the chicken piccata this time. It's usually one of my faves, but VERY dry this time. Service has always been great here and we won't let this stop us from going again.“

“Best desserts ever! The food is great, cocktails and atmosphere too. But DO NOT leave without trying one or two desserts, even if you need to take them home for later! Great breezy place filled with strong beautiful staff. I know, weird comment, but betting you'll agree that it's just a positive vibe and you'll leave feeling better than when you arrived. Cheers!“

“A visit to the Raven's View is usually a tremendous experience however, our visit yesterday left a bit to be desired. The service and ambiance was excellent as usual. Destiny does a fantastic job and the view never disappoints. Unfortunately, the food seems to be going in the wrong direction. I had the chicken sandwich and it was very dry and almost uneatable. I would have sent it back however, not sure it would have mattered as the consistency of the food continues to be an issue.“

“Had family staying at the Boulders where we ate at the Grill Rest.They drove pass your Restaurant and made reservations.The food & service was unbelievable. We live 32 miles away and will definitely return.Vegetarian options: Food was superb as was the service....Parking: Just off Scottsdale Rd. very convenient.“

“JJ"s is great. However the last couple times the everything bagels were lacking on the everything. Bagels seem smaller and a bit on the dry side. I hope this is just a fluke and not a trend. Anyways JJ's is great. Service is always top notch.“

“The inside is gorgeous and very nicely decorated. We came on a Wednesday afternoon so it was not too busy. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We got the guacamole, pastor tacos and brisket enchiladas- all delicious and great portions for the price(not too small but not crazy huge). One of our new favorite places in the area, we will be back!!!“

“This was our second visit and once again the food did not disappoint. The service was good and the place was packed as it was a Friday evening. The sashimi and Tuna cracker was great. We highly recommend the Paradise, Dragon and crawfish rolls.“

“Been years since we last visited this establishment, but they haven't missed a step in their food, nor their service. . .One of the few places where they give you complimentary chips & salsa (but they mix in flour chips too, which are so very yummy)! Signature Steak Fundido, “

“I had the chance to meet Bryan, the owner and culinary genius, behind this amazing hidden gem. He was an absolute pleasure to talk to. All the recipes used here are a special proprietary blend ingredients Bryan himself perfected over his years spent in the kitchen. Unfortunately for all us foodies out there, I'm sad to say he will be retiring quite soon. There will, however, be another BBQ pit taking over the location. They will be hard pressed to live up to the amazing food and great atmosphere Bryan's has provided Cave Creek over these past years. Bryan's will definitely be missed by this foodie.“

“I love their large selection of drink flavors and their rebels especially make me want to come back almost daily lol. The service is always great and I always feel like family when I’m either at the drive thru or the walk up and order. They always play a great playlist that makes me in a great mood for the day ahead of “

“?????In my hometown, amidst the hustle and bustle of daily chores and errands, there lies a magical portal named Papa Murphy’s, where culinary wizards craft enchantments in the form of pizza. On a quest to rescue dinner amidst a busy schedule, I turned to these sages online, navigating their tome of recipes with ease, casting my order into the ether.As the appointed time drew near, I approached the sanctuary of Papa Murphy’s, where the air was thick with the aroma of promised feasts. The keepers of the portal greeted me with smiles, handing me the treasure an exquisitely prepared pizza, swathed in secret sauces, blanketed with bountiful toppings, and resting on a doughy canvas, ready to be transformed in the fiery forge of my home oven.With the precious cargo secured, I hastened back to my abode where the ritual of baking transformed the raw creation into a golden masterpiece. As the final spell was cast and the kitchen filled with the spellbinding scents of molten cheese and toasted crust, we gathered at the table, eager to partake in the feast.Each bite was a symphony of flavors, every morsel a testament to the craft of the Papa Murphy’s wizards. Truly, this was not just a meal, but an adventure a quest wherein the ordinary act of dinner was turned into an extraordinary experience of joy and fulfillment.Papa Murphy’s had not only provided sustenance but had enchanted our evening with a touch of magic, making me ever grateful for their culinary prowess. A five-star quest, complete with dragons of flavor vanquished and treasures of taste unearthed!“

“This is a great casual place to enjoy well-prepared simple Italian food. Staff is helpful and great, ambience is very comfortable, taking us back in time. Slightly high on pricing, but typical for Scottsdale so a neutral. Since we started going there about thee months ago we've returned at least once a month and will continue to do so.“

“I go out of my way to come to this Starbucks! There are 2 other stores plus a couple of grocery stores within 3 miles of my home. I'll drive the 6 miles for the INCREDIBLE Cafe Mocha they make...it's better than any other location, including out of state stores.“

“Our local go-to in the "Creek. Josh's Eggs Benedict with the cheese queso is fantastic. Val is our favorite server. He is utterly fantastic. Never bad meal here prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this wonderful establishment.“

“First of all, I would like to say, I am a “CHICAGO GIRL” who loves her pizza.Oregano’s did not disappoint. We were headed to Cave Creek and I decided to do a search to look for a good restaurant to try.I read all the reviews and checked the menuout before I make my decision to go to Oregano’s.As soon as we entered the restaurant,we notice how CLEAN it was. A total must for me to dine at any restaurant. We were greeted with a smile from a bubbly waitress Jennifer that was dressed for the holidays. What a doll! She made our whole experience extra special. We ordered 18” One-O Pizza, antipasto salad, LS Big Rig, Garlic cheese Bread with marinara sauce and drinks. As Jenny was taking our order for four, she suggested to order a large antipasto saladInstead of individual salads. What a great tip.I mention to Jenny, I read the reviews and people were complaining about their pizza crust being burnt and I told her I did not want a burnt crust. She totally reassured me my crust would not be burnt. When our pizza came out to our table, it was perfection!The presentation of the antipasto salad was totally inviting and well balanced.During our meal we had a visit at our table from “Mr.Michael” the manager. He asked us if we were enjoying our food. I expressed to him how outstanding the pizza and antipasto salad was and I was a girl who knew my pizza.He was very engaging and we shared with him how pleased we were at our total experience at his restaurant. I would suggest to anybody who is reading this review to give them a try and see for yourself what a gem of a restaurant Oregano’s truly is here in Cave Creek. We will be definitely coming back and looking for Jenny to serve us again.“

“Cozy diner between Scottsdale and Cave Creek on Scottsdale Rd. It's tucked off the main road and has outdoor seating. Perfect Sunday breakfast/lunch location, great food, friendly service, beautiful drive, and fun local shopping options nearby.“

“I been going to señior taco for years.The Diablo red chili carne asada burrito with beans is my absolute favorite here. It's served with tortilla chips with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. They also serve footlong burritos stuffed with either chicken or carne asada with potatoes pico de gallo guacamole cheese and sour cream.“

“Ordering from Jalepeno Inferno via DoorDash was a culinary delight. The mini fundidos were bite-sized bursts of cheesy goodness with a perfect jalapeno kick, while the spinach enchiladas offered a flavorful and satisfying vegetarian option. ?Despite delivery, the food arrived hot and fresh, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality. With prompt service and delicious flavors. I strongly suggest Jalepeno Inferno for a convenient and flavorful feast delivered to your doorstep.“

“I've been coming here for last three years. The food is really good! The service as with all restaurants depends on the server, some are new and learning, some have been there a long time. All are great and everyone goes out of their way for you. If it's busy just have patience and enjoy the view or the music- the owners are awesome and the regulars are their for a reason- because it's like our real life "Cheers". if you get the chance, stop by and say hi and get ready to feel like home!“

“Finally made it here!Was delicious.Well marked gluten free items on the menu. Dairy took some asking. But there are some sides, that are dairy free as well.3 BBQ sauce choices. The baked beans were fantastic!Dietary restrictions: Gluten and Dairy free“

“After not going to this location for a month noticed that everybody was new, and there was only one server that we knew. She was wonderful as usual and right on task. For the rest of the people that were there, which were another five or more. They did nothing, but stand around and talk, one girl played with her hair behind the counter for the entire time we were there. Very disappointing to be sitting there and witnessing this incompetence of work. Of course they were not busy because it was early on a Sunday. But that doesn't mean that you stand around and do nothing there's always something to do. I hope the owner sees this post, because I have a picture of exactly what they were doing nothing .“
