15 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants San Juan Bautista

“It never fails, I find a place I love but they are 30 minutes away! I live in San Martin but Lolla's is worth the drive. I currently can only eat pureed food due to a surgery and the soups at Lolla's are amazing!! Bring back the carrot ginger soup!! So tasty and I love that there are soups with NO CREAM. I am lactose intolerant and finding good soup without cream can be a challenge. My husband and daughter have tried a few of the sandwiches and love them. The 3-pack of chocolate chip cookies had my family in cookie heaven. Great sandwich shop and friendly employees!“

“I'll admit that my husband and I are very picky when it comes to restaurants, it's only because my husband is such a great cook! It's rare that we ever want to come back to a restaurant, but we will be back, for sure! SJB is a charming town and small business is what makes this place. Smoke Point is behind the main street, so don't miss it. Parking is easy on the street, seating inside and out. Decor is simple, yet thoughtful, feels comfortable. Beer and drink selection good, but that is not the focus, so great family place. Great menu, I had the brisket waldorf salad, which was tast, fresh, and of generous portion... I had to share with husband. He had the 1/2 pound brisket and a sausage, both were great, but not enough. We thought the food looked lonely on the plate, maybe a larger portion with a side may look more appetizing? The food was so good, we had to try the cornbread and mac n cheese, both were tasty, though the mac n cheese was missing either crunch on top or some ooey gooey cheese. Since the town rolls it in early, it might be a good idea for them to offer a snack menu and stay open for beer and drinks... there is little to do at night, but maybe that's a good thing!“

“A great place for drinks in San Juan Bautista! Beer, wine, and alcoholic slushies! Some cool indoor seating with window bar seating makes for fun people watching, and a sweet beer garden with ample seating - if you're lucky, there will be some live entertainment and dancing! Beer and wine list are diverse and have something for everyone. They have a charcuterie board that is well worth the money and plentiful. Prices are not overinflated. And service is uncompromising in this family owned and operated establishment. Whether taking a break from antiquing, passing though, or as a destination, 18th Barrel will not disappoint. Good vibes, good beer, and always a great time!“

“Had coffees and pastries. It was great and setting it does was very nice to enjoy. It's open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with good selections on the menu. They were roasting their coffee beans today. Nice to be in a real coffee shop. Thank you, we will be back!!“

“When I came in I was so impressed by the hospitality that I received. The owner went over the menu with me and answered all my questions. The food is fresh & a great selection. The juices were amazing & the smoothies were fresh and goof quality. I highly recommend this place as the owner is incredibly warm & welcoming and it's a delightful experience of fresh quality ingredients that you can't find around this area! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!“

“Jardine is a fantastic Mexican restaurant! We ate inside because it was a rainy cold day. They have a beautiful large outside patio for summer days with colorful full size umbrellas at the tables to keep cool. They have very lush plants & cactus around the patio. The food is fresh and outstanding! They have specials on their menu of food offerings and drinks. The servers are professional and very good at what they do. I only marked a few items below that are my favorite. All of their food is outstanding.Parking: There is parking available for free on the street. Sometimes it is more busy than other times.“

“Had a lovely and yummy lunch, was craving something crunchy and got the potato and cheese flautas, tastes almost like home! Hubby order the steak and eggs and wowsers his steak was huge and cooked just right! Didn't realize the Chavelas were going to be huge that we had to share and at $13 for a 48 oz not bad!“

“The food is absolutely delicious! The burger was hot, fresh, greasy and satisfyingly good. Price is up there, but the quality is good and youbget sides with it, so it evens out.The Tex Birger was even able to be lettuce wrapped, which was great. They had some of the best Onion Rings I've had too. Definitely try them out.“

“Mike's Backyard BBQ catered or son's wedding on 10/22/22. The food was outstanding the best ribs we ever had. His tri-tip and chicken were also very good. His wife's homemade potatoe salad was really good! Plenty of food, very classy set up. He brought his big bbq in to the venue early in the day and cooked it for our dinner. I highly recommend him. Sorry Mike, I forgot to take a picture!“

“Food is always super yummy and a lot of it.I generally split or take half home.Service is pretty good. If it's super busy, it can feel like you might get skipped/missed, and then they come around.Staff seems super friendly and genuine.“

“Man oh man pulled up today on the way to the beach. I'm from hollister but live in Modesto and I cant believe I forgot about this gem. I got the basic tri tip and my wife got a meatball sandwich she was juiced and if shes juiced it must be good. Lol . Got fried as well“

“We went for wine tasting, food and live band and everything was great. The wine was good. We really liked the variety of food and the live band was fun. They sang some oldies and their repertoire was all over the place so we heard a bit of everything. The owner of the establishment was super friendly and just made the whole thing more enjoyable. We will be back :-)“

“This was a good find. This was my first time in Aromas, CA. I stopped by for food and beer. I had a chicken sandwich, which was really good. I also had onion rings that were also very good. Finally, had a nice cold beer.The server was super nice and very helpful. I'll have to come back :-)“

“We just stumbled on this ice cream shop tonight. What a cute place with outside seating and amazing ice cream. We tried Horchata, Abuelito, and a chocolate/strawberry flavor. Absolutely delicious. We plan on returning to try others. The kids can't wait to try the fruity pebble ice cream bars. This is a unique and special place.“

“My daughter treated me to a birthday dinner at Running Rooster. It is located in downtown Hollister. The restaurant has ample seating and a nice bar. Parking is somewhat limited, but there is generally street parking available.I started off with a glass of DeRose Parróne Blend. We ordered two appetizers: Chips & Dips from the standard menu and Lobster Mac from their special menu. The Chips and Dips came with salsa roja, salsa verde, and your choice of queso dip or guacamole. We opted for the queso dip. The appetizer was good, especially the queso. The salsa roja had a thick, somewhat creamy texture. It wasn't bad, just not the kind of salsa I was expecting. The Lobster Mac was pretty good as well. It consisted of the usual cheesy macaroni noodles, but had plenty of lobster chunks and small, stemmed mushrooms (maybe beech mushrooms?). The whole dish was topped with baked, crusted cheese and piping hot.For my meal, I ordered the Cowboy Burger and upgraded to Garlic Fries. The burger had a great flavor, but the patty wasn't as juicy as I would have liked. It may have been slightly overcooked. The burger toppings included the usual lettuce, tomato and pickles, but also pepper jack cheese, bacon, one large onion ring, and "yeehaw" sauce. All in all, a flavorful burger. My daughter ordered the Mushroom Burger with the onion rings upgrade. She too had the same experience as I did with my burger because her patty was also a bit too dry/overcooked.We ordered a shared dessert, the cheesecake, and opted for a lemon topping. The cheesecake was very good and the topping was the right amount of sweet and tangy.Our server was attentive but not intrusive and she was very pleasant. I like the ambiance of Running Rooster. I do feel the burgers could have been a bit more juicy, but really, the food was good and we'll be going back. Recommended!“
