5 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants North Utica

“Loved this cute shop from the adorable puppy dog logo to the architecture and, of course, the yummy coffee and sweet treats! Knowledgeable and helpful staff helped me order my tiramisu latte to my liking, and the mint chocolate chip ice cream was the best I'd ever tasted. Plus a nice selection of pure cane sugar sodas. Will definitely come back if we visit Starved Rock again!“

“The burger, tenderloin, fries are all amazing!!!! Gonna have to come back to try more off the menu! Stopped in here after a day of hiking at Starved Rock and it was absolutely amazing! I got a burger and fries, my gf got a tenderloin. We cut both sandwiches in half and did what we call “splitskeys” so we could both try the burger and tenderloin. Fantastic. Both are massive, the burger was a single 3/4#! Great service, sat ourselves right away after walking in and waitress was there within a minute. Very reasonable prices, gonna try the jumbo wings next! Family friendly atmosphere, plenty of space inside and the tables aren’t jammed in too closely. I highly recommend Skoogs, you should try it, you won’t regret it!“

“Very friendly and down to earth staff. Amanda the cook is fabulous. Debbie was very outgoing and attentive. Food was all fresh made to order and generous portions. Will most definitely be back and will bring some friends next time!Dietary restrictions: My wife has a mushroom allergy and they were able to fry in a separate fryer.“

“This place is a GEM!! We were in town and decided to stop in for a drink, yep we ended staying the whole day… The bartender is awesome and made us feel like we were just at home. We walked around and looked at all the great sport pictures and signatures, also got to swing several game used bats the had hanging on the all. This place is our new hangout every time we are in townThe food was great and I did finally ordered the lobster tail Alfredo that I heard about all day, well worth the wait and hope it is available next time we are in town.Thank for the great time and can’t wait to see y’all again.“

“Barbecue restaurants are slim pickings in the Oglesby & Peru area and most seem to be open Thursday-Sunday.Anyway I had the sliced brisket, slaw and cornbread.The cornbread was delicious and had a sweetened flavor. Slaw was good but was missing something…. Briskets are hard to smoke and finish to get the right flavor and end up with enough moisture without getting them too dry.The one I had was dry and needed sauce.If in the area again, I’d give them another chance and you should too.A coworker had ribs and he said they were delicious and were fall off the bone to perfection.“
