50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Hinsdale

“Met a friend here for dinner. I glanced at the menu before arriving & there were several tasty sounding items. My friend & I split the tuna poké with chips ? I ordered the Derby Burger which was mouthwateringly delicious. My friend ordered the Greek chicken with Naan which also looked yummy & my friend confirmed. Our waitress was training but she did a great job ?? I would be more than happy to return!“

“First time here and was not disappointed! ? The service, the food, and the atmosphere was absolutely amazing! Our server was so sweet, she took such great care of us. We had the strawberry mimosas, a skillet, and the breakfast burger. (Not the actual names of the dishes) Burger was cooked perfectly and the skillet was delicious too. This place is huge! We were able to walk in and be seated right away.“

“Absolutely fantastic first time experience at D’Capos! I ordered the meatball sub and the owner gave me a free sample, of course it was excellent. The owner also took time to chat with me about the business and even gave me a free to go meal, eggplant parm. Couldn’t recommend this establishment more, incredible food and the owner is so kind and welcoming. 10/10!“

“Our server Anna was perfect. The ahi tuna salad that I ordered had a generous amount of tuna and very wonderful avocado slices, along with lots of other ingredients. The three people with me loved their choices also, especially the Neat burger with an egg on it. We shared carrot cake with caramel and a lot of nuts and the huge piece was more than enough for three over-eaters. This is place to pop into for a casual, delicious meal.“

“Always enjoy your place ! Our go to when visiting our children and grandchildren in Lemont ! Food is always great and the service is top notch and super friendly! We don’t even consider stopping anywhere else because I would end up there getting my fav meatloaf dinner for the ride home anyway ?❤️❤️❤️Kid-friendliness: They treat my granddaughter like the the princess she is and they call you by name“

“A great bar with even better food! Rose was a phenomenal server and had our food out quick even on a Friday night!Parking: Parking right out front is hard, but there’s a free garage less than 5 minutes walking from the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: All thresholds are easily navigated with a wheelchair. The front door does not have an automatic opener.“

“First time trying this place and I would go back again. I ordered the seasoned fries. They were very crispy and tasty. The seasoning was a bit different. I ordered the spicy garlic shrimp sandwich with extra shrimp. Absolutely delicious. It was not spicy but well seasoned. The arugula on the sandwich was a nice e compliment to the overall taste profile.“

“Its a great restaurant, been here many of times, upon my last visit our waitress was an older white woman with bleached blond hair! She was mad because the customers were done eating but hadn't gotten up from the table! Complaining about she's tired and ready to go home. I thought it was unprofessional! And!!!!! She didn't even get our order correct. I enjoy the restaurant, but I definitely don't want her to serve me anymore!“

“My wife and I enjoy a periodic evening at Parker's. We"ve been there numerous times over the years. It rates high on our list of fine dining with a very comfortable atmosphere and welcoming staff. The food and service are excellent and I compliment them on pouring a good drink. It's a premium stop for us!“

“My dining experience here was great, our server was Matt, he was very attentive, made sure our experience was great. The food didn't take too long considering they had a big party going on while we were seated. Definitely recommend coming in here ! And ask for Matt he won't disappoint!“

“We waited too long before trying for the first time! Really delicious food in a cozy atmosphere. It felt like we were being served by family in their own home. Fantastic price-to-value. Some great local history on the walls, too. Definitely will return.“

“The barista was friendly and made our coffee quickly. But it was lukewarm warm. Would recommend double checking before leaving. Also, the dog “Chanel” is not always there, recommend calling and checking if you are coming to specially meet her.“

“Do NOT sleep on the pineapple Dole whip or even just visiting Hole in the Wall! It is so, so delicious, especially the pineapple Dole whip (did I already say that?). It's so good that my chocolate-loving 5-year-old asked to go back before they close for the season for more pineapple Dole whip, because it in her words "It's even more yummy than chocolate!" Hurry, & stop by before they close for the season on October 8.“

“This is the best coffee place ever!!!! They are so nice and kind and everything is delicious I am super picky with coffee and always get scared to try new places but I have been comimg her for a few months and I love it its right across the street from the salon I work at so I love the convenience I love the energy and how nice everyone is and they always remember my order do yourself a favor and make this your new coffee shop!! ? -Liz the Nail tech“

“The cookies are delicious. The brownies are out of this world. And the cinnamon rolls (just had my first one there) are truly the best I've ever had in my life. The staff is warm, friendly and welcoming. Five stars all around for Blackout Baking Co.!“

“LITERALLY SO FRIENDLY!!!they serve really good matcha iced lattes! They have so much to offer. It’s such a cute coffee shop, they also have live music and free Wi-Fi.I had the bacon burrito with their red salsa (yum!) and the matcha iced late and it was so much cheaper then a venti and a sandwich at Starbucks. 100% recommended will be back ❤️“

“Discovered this place while biking to catch the BNSF back to Chicago. Usually would bike past to hop on the train at Western Springs or LaGrange Road. But one day I stopped short and popped in here. Really impressed by the selection of beer, wine, and whiskey. Before the Derby, they had three different bottles of Blanton's Bourbon. I asked for a smell (it's not Jimmy John's, I know) and they obliged me without so much as a blink of the eye. Quite an impressive wine selection. They are serious about their libations and happy to share their knowledge. I really like this place. Good vibe and great drinks. Check it out. Not sure why some clown gave it two stars. But reading that review, it's the poster who is confused, not the establishment. Cheers!“

“This place is truly a hidden gem. We were recommended to check this spot out by a local bartender, and we are so glad we did! The ambiance was really chill and non pretentious. Our mixologist, David, was super personable and well versed in his craft. He’s bringing experience from cocktail programs in the city to the burbs! It was a cute little spot that gave speakeasy vibes. We initially thought we were underdressed, but this place wasn’t booshie at all, and there was no judgement like some places. The cocktails were creative and well balanced. I’m so glad we have a place like this nearby. We will definitely be back soon!Update:We just went back because of our previous experience. I brought a group of 10 (all industry people). We spent over 1k as a group for my friend’s 40th bday. I raved about this place only to feel unwelcome in the end. A young female bartender tells us we were too loud. Honestly, we obviously had a lot to drink, but nobody was being reckless. We were told people were complaining. From a business standpoint you made us feel unwelcome in an establishment where we spent money. Take the $60 2 top who complained over what we spent there tonight? At least pull one of us aside instead of making a grand announcement. Chad you’re a great and talented owner, but train your staff how to talk to people. Just tell us, dont make a scene.“

“Loved the service and food. It is a very small cozy location, although I was told they will be moving across the street and expanding their seating. The staff was fantastic, I was there with my wife and baby and they were all very friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“Friendly service, delicious food, clean and nice environment. Service was just a tad slow on bringing our check; but otherwise very friendly and attentive for filling water and clearing the table. I would definitely return and already recommended it to a friend.“

“The James Joyce is a local treasure. It’s the epitome of an Irish pub; friendly, good service, and a social gathering place. The owners have made it this way, and they will come by to meet you and welcome you. They have events like the upcoming “1/2 way to St Patrick’s Day”, and it’s absolutely worth coming by for a pint. Sláinte?“

“Some may come for the waffles, I come for the ice cream. They let you try the flavors and it sealed the deal for me. I love their flavors and friendly staff. It is great for the summer, but if you go when it is cold, plan on eating in your car.“

“A HUGE variety of food in here. Of course, cheesecake is their specialty and the strawberry cheescake was fire. Pretty darn good in the jolly ol La Grange pals! Stopped by with my sis after good ol' Mak's house right around the corner“

“The food and drinks were amazing but the service was even better. Our server Nicole made amazing recommendations, all of which we went with and had a great time. We recently moved to the area and will be making this one of our frequent spots because of her amazing service. Get this girl a raise, her level of hospitality was unreal.“

“Our wedding was made even more memorable thanks to the incredible catering provided by Wooden Paddle. From the first bite to the last, their pizzas were a culinary delight, leaving our guests raving about the flavors and quality. Not only were the pizzas delicious, but the service was exceptional—prompt, professional, and attentive to every detail. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and they effortlessly catered to our diverse dietary needs and preferences. With their rustic wood-fired oven and fresh, high-quality ingredients, charcuterie grazing table, and artsy drinks they brought the flavor to our special day. If you're looking to add a unique and delicious touch to your wedding, look no further than Wooden Paddle. They truly deserve every one of these five stars!“

“Reached here by a mistake! And a good one at that ?Amazing brews and good music - they even played me a Ted Nugent (Stranglehold) on request ?We were hungry though and split from there to downtown! But the time spent here was just great! Quaint place for a good brew, good music and good company ?“

“I drive all the way from Darien to get there sandwich. Started going there 45 years ago and then I moved and came back and the original location was closed and I thought that was it. About 5 years ago while on Facebook I saw and add for Peppo’s. I was thrilled to know that they simply moved. Best sub sandwich you will find. I love subs and no one beats peppos“

“I work around the corner from here and found it by chance. I will say I will be back. I called to find out where they were located and Cindy explained exactly how to find her place. My coworker and I went to go check out the restaurant and Cindy and a gentleman greeted us as we walked in. Even asked if we had just called. This to me is how you treat your customers. As my coworker and I waited for our breakfast burritos the smell of the restaurant was amazing. Cindy also chatted the whole time we waited and explained how she preps and what all goes into their fresh food. Cindy is caring and very passionate about her food and customer service. Please make sure to go find Cindy and chicks’n salsa. They are located in the office building on the corner of main st and 22nd in Lombard. Keep up the good work Cindy.“

“Local Brewery with super friendly vibes. Tasty beers with wide selection of styles. Brown, Red, Hazy, Westy, etc.. Buckle has some good food options or bring your own. Mixed drinks available too. No pets, no smoking. Atmosphere is dark, relaxing and cozy. Beer fridge has cans to go, or fill your growler. Pacman and Mando pinball game. Merch is pretty nice too. Clean bathrooms and small outdoor area. Joe was a gracious host and very informative about the tasty beers. Park across street if full. Great service made it 5 stars.“

“Found out about this brewery in Westmont and came to try a few beers. It's in a pretty hard to find location in some industrial area, the worst thing about it. Whiskey Hill is a funny name, as this place has beer, not whiskey. Oh well, what they have is still good. There's a pretty good selection including some hoppy and sours. A lot of breweries are in kind of strange areas. It's the case with this one. This is located on Vandustrial in a building it share with some offices and whatever. Lots of trucking companies around here. There's semis parked along the street. Anyway, the beers. It's about $6 a pour. It's not quite a pint but whatever. Even so, a pretty good price for a small brewery. Has many to choose from. Best was the 7 Mile Bridge. It's a Belgian Weisse with key lime, toasted coconut, and vanilla. A lot of lime flavor. This is almost like a sour to be honest. A pretty strong one at 7% ABV. There's not a whole lot on tap, but they manage to have quite a bit for a microbrewery to be honest. Get some beers on tap or take some of the cans to go. It's a small place but when it's warmer they have a patio. There's no food but sometimes there's food trucks.“

“This place is so cool! What an awesome atmosphere and experience. It was wild coming back to the area that I grew up in to visit my parents and find a place that felt like it should have been here all along.Great coffee and free old school/classic arcade games, along with board games and cider/beer options too. What more could you ask for?“

“I saw a Instagram video about this place so I had to check it out. I went 2 days in a row! Our waitress mary (who I had 2 times) was outstanding super attentive and sweet! The food was amazing! I got a arancini as an appetizer which was delish and the vodka sauce is the best I’ve ever had. Really cute place after you can go walk around the park.“

“If you want good lagers poured the right way, come here. Everything they make is great, and while it's a small menu, typically only 5 beers on tap, it's enough of a variety imo if their focus is on quality, which is seems to be. Whenever I come into Chicago, I make the pilgrimage to the berbs to visit Goldfinger.“

“My man Mitch welcomed us in tonight with open arms and the greatest hospitality. Our first time trying the joint after seeing several great reviews, we couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience. The pizza lived up to the hype: Understatement. Thin, crispy, and delicious. The old fashioned was smoky and sweet; shockingly good for a brewery. My wife had a sour and I had a light beer as well. Great all around. We will be frequenting this establishment for the foreseeable future. Did I mention price range was incredibly reasonable? 5 stars: Understatement as well. Thank you, Mitch, along with the rest of the NWB staff, for having us and giving us another go-to in our rotation of pizza and drink locations!“

“This place is amazing! Polite and helpful employees that walk you through all the flavors, clean and fun environment, and of course good-quality food and lots of choices. I have never seen an ice cream place offer so many different topings! On my ice cream I dared to try popping rocks, gummy bears, and sprinkles. It was a revolutionary combination! The employees were so nice, and one of them even helped me test out different ice cream flavors. Not only is the food good, but also the atmosphere. When I walked in, I was greeted by an enthusiastic sound of a bell. Then as I walked through the most beautiful light pink hallway, I saw hundreds of little signs and pictures. My personal favorite is the "Dog People Rule" sign! Inside the store there is comfortable, clean environment. You can bring your whole family if you want to. Although be aware that their busy hour is during 5-8 window, so you might have to wait for your order.“

“Always easy-going bartenders with lots of local craft beers on tap, plus a good selection of bottle and cans. Ciders and NA beers as well. Bartenders will give you a taster before you buy a 5 or 12 oz pour. Customers friendly too, sit right at the bar or outside at tables under umbrellas and strike up a conversation. Board games are available inside. Seen beer drinking parents bring their little kids sometimes. You can bring your well-mannered dog inside too.“

“The food was really delicious and it is a big plus being able to get healthy, vegan choices that taste good. Everything we had was amazing!! I so recommend it if you want to eat healthy or just introduce yourself to healthy choices. Our server also was so nice!“

“Food was amazing, staff was very attentive and friendly, great bacon, big juicy burgers, huge beverage selection, and fun atmosphere. One thing I especially appreciated was that it is a scratch kitchen where things are House made. Anybody can buy a already prepared food item, but when they house make things it is just so much better. Highly recommend and will definitely be back very soon“

“We came down from oklahoma city for my wife b/day and was craving wings but different, and we found this place, amazing wings, air fried not oil fry and full of flavor and crispy, the fresh hand cut fries are amazing, only wish there were more flavors to choose from, but none the less very satisfy, only regret was we found this place on our last day here and not sooner, the owner is very friendly, and easy to talk to“

“A cute place! The guy who was working made my boyfriends and my experience so much more enjoyable. He had a smile on his face and was very kind! The coffee and muffin were delicious and the shop is very chill :) we found a new Sunday morning coffee shop stop!“

“I've been dining here and holding family parties here for 20+ years. the interior and patio are beautiful. the food is excellent and the prices are competitive. But the service is exemplary. We had a drink in the bar before dinner and the bartender was terrific. we booked a table on the patio and as we were being seated my elderly mother asked if we could sit inside and they immediately and happily accommodated our last minute change. our waitress was wonderful and patient with the two senior citizens dining with us. I cannot say enough great things about Jens. it is our go to for every family celebration and many dinners in between.“

“The food and service at True Food Kitchen were wonderful. Their seasonal selections and happy hour choices made finding fun food to share.The clean, bright and open dining space provides a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy a large selection of tasty choices. True Food Kitchen has plenty of vegan and vegetarian options that are great for those choosing a healthier plant based lifestyle.I'll definitely be back!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian choices on all part of the menu“

“Good place very comfortable. They have good samosa. They also have a special menu for the first Saturday of the month so will be back to try Parking: Because it is in downtown Oak Park sometimes it is hard to find parking. But it has a parking garage nearby and is free for the first hour“

“this place is unbelievably awesome.our server Jenny was top notch and very attentive. love the experience every time I come here. please open more locations. lol management jackie and kirsten are awesome and they treat every customer like family. I would rate it 6 stars if I could“

“I love Prasino. There is always something for everyone. I’m vegetarian and I never struggle to find something delicious on their menu. They also have a very nice children’s menu - my son loves the silver dollar pancakes. Everyone is always so kind and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming with lots of seating.Dietary restrictions: Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options.Kid-friendliness: Great children’s menu.“

“Everything is great ! Very well customer servise , very welcoming. Always a clean environment , good management treats employees very well,always a positive attitude. Excellent flavors, fast service, and large amount of food for what you pay for. My daughter and I love coming here for nearly anything.“

“It was late and I decided to walk over and have a cheeseburger /w fries. Getting there was easy. On my way back home it got a little DARK. Need to remember Riverside has NO street lights. I had to walk more cautiously. . Tiptoe through the tulips. Ha“

“Gina and Fabian are amazing! My experience at the gym was fantastic. I’ve since moved out of state and it is hard to find a gym in my new location that meets my expectations after such an amazing experience at Focus. My workout plan was tailored to what I needed and wanted to meet my goals. The gym was never crowded and I never felt intimidated walking into the gym. Highly recommend open gym or one on one personal training. Thank you Gina and Fabian!“

“I got the breakfast burrito with parfait, and apple fritter. The burrito was delicious, one of the best I've had recently. However the portions are quite small, which is disappointing since it was so good. The apple fritter was delicious as well, not sure if they make the pastries in house or not.“

“Great place, great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, and great staff. I've been there many times for events, private parties, and just because l was hungry. Very casual and affordable. You can't go wrong there. Just like the pubs I've been to in Ireland.They have a great Reuben Pizza“
