50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Merriam

“Have you been to this bakery?! It is world-renowned, and right in our own backyards! What a treat for us. I remember buying these breads and having them shipped to us, when we lived in San Diego. Now I can just stop by, taste their samples, and buy one fresh. Look at the stuffed layers, wrapped inside delicate, thin pastry. You will be a favored guest if you show up to a party with one of these contributions. Or a successful hostess if you place one of these awe-invoking dishes on the table. Plan to stop by and watch the bakers in process. It is fascinating to watch them work their magic!“

“A month ago I passed by this place and the location caught my attention... and I saw very good photos and very good comments and I went with my family and woooooo the portions were full and for the prices it is really worth it, for reasons By religion we do not eat pork and this place is a super safe option and the food for children is perfect. I was tired of paying more than $10 for a children's menu and having my daughter leave more than half for eating little.... very delicious. .and the waiters are super attentive, I didn't need anything, they already knew it from me.. I definitely recommend it and I will return aaaaaaa I forgot, I loved the gesture of having dishes with water for the pets outside.. THANK YOU FOR THINKING ABOUT THEM.Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegetables and I loved that there is no pork!!!“

“My Birthday dinner, I was able to reserve a table for 18 the day before it was tough but they worked with me. Our waiter Corey was AWESOME he was patient & courteous never got an attitude which I can appreciate and took care of all our needs. Great food & great service!!“

“Dinner for my wife's birthday. Jason our server was awesome and helped us navigate the menu and wine. Excellent, intimate venue with unique and excellent food. The Sea bass and steak were insanely tasty, NYC, Chicago, SF food and vibe.“

“My whole family is obsessed with 7 brew! They all know they can customize their drinks, when you have 7 kids who always want something too it helps how patient all of the staff is as well as friendly! The cost is also always reasonable for my adult drink plus the kids drinks!“

“First time trying. Love the atmosphere. My husband and I both got brownie sundaes, unfortunately I did not like the brownies, and didn’t finish them. But the carrot cake ice cream was good. We both agreed that if we came back, we would do ice cream by itself.“

“A new experience for me. Enjoyed the ambiance. Seafood was excellent. I had the grilled salmon w pasta. Very fresh and well presented. Service was most excellent. Great recommendations offered. A very reasonable price for service and fare. A must come back when entertainment is available. ?“

“The Gelato is delicious! The cup that it came in is single-use plastic and non-recyclable, same for the spoons. This was dished before I could say "in a cone" which is the way I typically order ice cream, etc. So, if you like fast service, fabulous frozen treats, and the planet we live on, I'd highly recommend starting your order with "IN A CONE, I would like a scoop of..." (my favorite is grapefruit prosecco).“

“OMG fantastic BBQ! Some of the best, most tender burnt ends I've had in KC! Definitely will be returning for brunch! We also enjoyed an appetizer w/$8 off for their "8th Anniversary Special" - we got the BBQ wontons - definitely would recommend. But I also saw the appetizer for onion straws - it was stacked about 6 inches high with onion straws across the 12 inch appetizer plate - it was HUGE to say the least & I was sad we didn't get that too after seeing it :) Kye was great! Very quick & on top of our needs. She seemed to be one of the few waiters/waitresses working & she kicked major butt! Thank you!!“

“My girlfriend had described this shop as cozy and that's the perfect way to describe it. It's tucked away in the back of a strip mall but it's worth the hunt. Two (yes 2 next to each other) drive thru coffee providers are in the parking lot as you turn in...skip those! They weren't busy but Sweet Tee's was. Not busy uncomfortable, just a nice quiet crowd. We went to visit and drink coffee. Although there are upholstered chairs and sofas, we chose to sit at a table for two. We visited for close to 2 hours. I see they have a new location also in Olathe. Judging from the on-line pictures, I don't think it has this cozy feel. I'm in Leawood, but I'd make a special trip out there again. Good fun coffees. Hers was hot, mine was iced. We didn't try the pastries but looked really good.“

“(Copied from my Yelp page!) I wish I had taken a picture of our delicious experience at this beautiful locale but alas, next time. We were greeted in a way I can only describe as "vibes" and that was the start of what I hope is a long and fruitful relationship with this amazing establishment. The drinks are smooth and unique, the grilled cheese (which was my husbands but if you think I wasn't going to nibble like a mouse at a Gouda and pesto grilled cheese, you are nuts) was HEAVENLY, the muffin was it's blueberry best and the ambiance was immaculate. Can't wait to go back. It was like walking into your friends house to have a coffee. But now I will expect compliments on my hair EVERY TIME...the bar has been set. seriously, I'm not joking. But actually seriously, every neighborhood should have a coffee shop so welcoming and warm!“

“Here's the scoop: the space is great, industrial cottagecore with exposed brick walls and a double height ceiling with rough wood beams and a skylight in the middle. The beer is very good, not amazing. The weakest links, if it matters to you, are hard schoolhouse seating and the sound system, an anemic speaker that detracts, rather than adds to the ambience“

“Our office recently took The Roasterie’s factory tour as part of a team-building day, and it was an exceptional experience! Our tour guide, Eric, was awesome! Not only was he accommodating and informative, but also had a fantastic personality that made our tour engaging enjoyable. The whole team left with a greater appreciation for an our daily brew! Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a unique and educational experience. Thanks again on behalf of the Baldwin City Dental team! ☕️ ? “

“Absolutely love Brewers Kitchen. Staff is extremely friendly, local beer selection is fantastic and the food is nothing short of amazing. Ive had just about every thing on the menu in the last 6 months of visiting and have never been disappointed. Their house made Honey Mustard is exceptional and wish I could buy gallons of it for back home it's that good. The food really is the star of the show, you can tell nothing is frozen and everything is fresh and made to order. If you want the best burger in KC, you need to come in to Brewers Kitchen.“

“This place is really cute. The closed kolaches are killer. The dough is soft and chewy. I tried the Mexican and the Texan at the shop. They warm them in the store and it is perfect. Each comes marked with letters that are also on the menu so you can tell each one apart. Both were just what I wanted. The Mexican was spicy and the Texan was a breakfast plate all packed inside.I took home a box full including a blueberry open kolache. Can’t wait for the morning.Service is kind and gave great recommendation. The coffee bar has lots of options for both coffee and chai drinks.“

“The Java garage has plenty of space to spread out and really focus on your work. Multiple different seating options from bar stools, couches, swinging benches, and dining tables. Sometimes I like a more cozy work environment so this might not be my go-to all the time, but it was a nice change of pace.I got the Open Road latte with oat milk and it tastes like a butterscotch candy. Very good.There is also a very friendly and adorable coffee shop dog named Scout!Dietary restrictions: Oat milk available as well as soy and almond!“

“Cute little cafe in the nursery! There is plenty of seating, as well as a section to sit in the green house surrounded by all the plants. The sparkling matcha limeade was very refreshing and made for an even better plant shopping experience.“

“I love what they did with the space! Lots of good vibes. The beer was really good - tried a few different ones and liked them all. Seems like they have rotating food options from local restaurants. Will definitely be back - great to have more options in this part of OP!“

“Lily was a great server from the time we walked in and made sure that our party of 4 large firefighters got sat at a table instead of the booth that the hostess was taking us to. Then she kept our drinks full, was very attentive with food in every detail. Thanks for caring about your customers Lily, keep up the good work!“

“This was my first visit here and it was fantastic!! Ordering was super easy with the interactive wall mounted menu, and when we had questions the staff was friendly and helpful. One of our group wasn’t sure what she wanted, and was able to order at the counter after asking questions about the menu. With five people we were all able to find something to our taste, and every one of the drinks were delicious. Our order was prepared quickly and accurately as well.Parking: At no fault of the owners of this business, the businesses on either side of this one have greedily claimed all of the parking right in front of the storefront with their own signage. However, there is general parking in the same vicinity very close by. It’s not difficult to find close parking at all.Kid-friendliness: There are so many kid-friendly flavors available that even my pickiest kiddo found something to enjoy! They also have board games available for use in the seating area.Wheelchair accessibility: There are handicap parking spaces available almost right outside the door, along with a sidewalk ramp leading to the business. Inside has wide walkways and tables well-suited to wheelchair access. The wall mounted interactive menu is probably just slightly too high to order from a wheelchair, but the ordering counter is low enough that placing an order there would be very reasonable.“

“Was pleasantly surprised to find this place. The mooncake sign caught my attention and made it feel like a little piece of home. I currently live in Wichita, KS but originally from LA. Growing up in a Chinese family this totally made my day. I had the lotus seed paste flavor mooncake with green tea. Would come back if I'm in the area to try their red bean paste one. Owner was very friendly and welcoming ?“

“So many good things happening here! I am not a beer drinker ? but took my husband for a birthday date. I have to say I did really like the cherry cider and appreciated that they had a non alcoholic option that was served just like all their other drinks. Also the plant lover in me was all about checking out all their spider plants and big beautiful babies everywhere! We found a big comfy couch to chill on while ordering food on the iPad at the door for the BBQ place next door. And the best part is in the cold those sweet people brought our yummy food to us at the brew house! They also have a corner of kids toys like cars and board games! Overall the service was great and we really enjoyed this sweet spot!“

“Recently had the Ruben and potato salad last Friday! Super good! Legit, I’ve paid twice as much for this kind of thing at other places, and they couldn’t even come close to how good y’all were! Good atmosphere, not super loud, and supporting a local, historical part of town! Thank you all at Breit’s“

“My boyfriend and I have been taking our dogs there for quite a while now. Not only our dogs love it so much. We love the employees there. They all treat our dogs like their own and ALWAYS greet them when we get there. I will forever recommend this place for anyone.“

“Incredibly good beer. I only tried the hoppy styles but all 3 beers I had were perfect, which gives me confidence they do everything else well too. Can't say enough good things about this place, some of the best beers I've ever had. Service was super friendly and they had fresh cans to go. Will definitely be back next time I'm in KC.“

“First of all not only was the food delicious but the service was on point as well. From what I saw the place was very clean and so were the restrooms. I do wish they gave a few more options like pulled pork mac and cheese, but everything was fine when I come through Westport again I will definitely stop by char-bar.Vegetarian options: There is a special section in the menu for those that are vegetarians and vegans.Wheelchair accessibility: There was very accessible sea sitting especially to the people that have disabilities, handicapped and special needs.“

“There's not question... five stars all day every day! We moved here last year and were ELATED to find out we moved within walking distance to Sandhills! The atmosphere is so chill and welcoming, it makes you want to go back week after week! The selection of beers is excellent. They always have a great range of strengths from kolsch all the way up to stouts or double IPAs. They also have great limited releases that keep us going back.“

“We love this brewery! Great selection of beers. They have new ones every week and they keep the popular beers on tap for a very long time. The staff is awesome!! I can't say enough good things about the staff! I would recommend Servaes to anyone and everyone. I have my local family hooked and when family comes from out of town, they have to visit. Try Servaes, you will not be disappointed.“

“Mark Robinson and his team are conclusive and their ability to direct you into which area you can develop is key. They have a keen intuition for where the market is headed and when to makes profits. they are worth listening to. Try the consultation! And never go low in your portfolio even when the Market is in dip or pump.“

“Another gem in the KC coffee scene. Driving out of your way is worth it for the drinks and the atmosphere. It's a spacious and cool store that's easy to relax in. Great chai, perfectly spiced and rich. The banana mocha is delicious.“

“I love Revocup! My only bit of feedback is regarding the types of cold cups used--they are not durable whatsoever and spill even when the cup is not overfilled. I hope they invest in cups that properly seal in the future! Coffee and atmosphere is amazing, 10/10“

“It's kind of like a mall atmosphere that has multiple places you can eat in one. You order from any place you want and you get a text message when your food is ready. Easy enough. I've been twice now and the food has been great each time.“

“I've been here a few times and it's always enjoyable. They had a pretty impressive live musician playing. The wait staff despite being very busy were still very friendly and attentive. The menu is fairly small but the quality is excellent for every dish I've tried. The cocktails are unique and delicious. If you're looking for a fun dining experience, I recommend dropping by Murphy's Corner.“

“THE SUPERIOR BOBA SHOP IN THE KC METRO AREA. If I can, I will always choose to buy my boba here. No other place has them beat on quality, taste & price. I would rather support a small business than any other chain in the area that is overpriced for what it’s worth. Every drink of theirs hits the spot and the customization lets you cater to your own tastes. Please tip well when you can, the owners & employees are so kind and there’s a very small turnover in employees so you will often see the same faces. Ari Delights I love you forever.“

“Kyle owns this great KC gem. It’s a clean and friendly atmosphere in the heart of KC. Beer, whiskey, wine, no cocktails. Kyle is a beer lover but won’t steer you wrong with you spirit selections! I had a great time Chatting with him and trying Penelope and Barrel Craft bourbons!“

“The Wife and I went here last night since they had vegan pizza and let me tell you this was some of the best pizza I ever had. It was very hot and fresh. The Employees where super friendly. If you haven't tried them, then your missing out.“

“The food is dynamite! I went in for the first time this week. I work in the area, and I know that the construction is really hurting some of the businesses. Super nice staff, nice portions for the price. Will be going back again! More than just worth a try if you're in “

“Hiring McLain's Bakery for our wedding cake (and sheet cakes) was an incredible experience. We went in for a cake tasting where they took the time to explain all of our options, as well as work with us on a plan for number of guests and amount of dessert needed to accommodate. Their cake was amazing! We ordered almond cake with raspberry filling, which was so delicious and can't wait to order through them again for special occasions!“

“This is literally my go-to spot now! I LOVED my experience x1000! Its so beautiful inside. Its a cafe & event space. I stopped in because my friend was Dj'ing & it was such a vibe! The service was amazing! Every question I asked was answered! Food was amazing! I will always recommend this place! They also have so many events on their IG, so check them out!“

“This is quickly becoming my exclusive coffee spot! I absolutely love the vibe of the shop. Lots of natural light, twinkle lights, and soft oldies but goodies playing in the background. I have enjoyed every item I’ve tried on the menu so far but my favorite are the vegan tacos with soy chorizo added. I highly recommend this shop both for the menu and the cozy ambiance.“

“The food was great and the waitress was wonderful with the kids. The restaurant is very nicely decorated. It was a neat experience, like being back in Germany.Parking: Parking was difficult to findKid-friendliness: They brought the kids their own plastic utensils, they had their own menu's as well.“

“I have been to many Tapas restaurants as they are my favorite kind of places to eat and this one was, by far, the very best! The food was ALL incredible and came out quickly after ordering. Usually at tapas places there are some dishes that are just "ok" but here...every single dish waa great! Our waitress was amazing, even providing recommendations (like getting whipped feta with the stuffed dates which ended up being one of the best things I've ever eaten)! The atmosphere is cute and cozy and perfect for a Spanish restaurant. Love the wall decor and all the pillows on the benches. We live in St. Louis and are already planning a trip back for a special occasion! Highly highly recommend. Definitely 5 stars in my book!“

“AmazingI really enjoyed the mochi doughnuts and the floral mango tea.I also was able to grab a sandwich from a pop-up event made by Chef Hera ( The homemade focaccia bread was to die for )Definitely will be back to try their goodies and to check out some of the local art they have displayed.“

“Always great beer, the Tacos Valentina food concept inside is pretty good too. They have the newer Public House side which is open and shiny then they have the original Taproom in the back that's wooden and cosy open a few nights a week still.“

“Everything was good. The food. The Atmosphere. The Service. The only reason I didn't give it a 5-star rating is because their has to be an explanation on why 2 casamigos Blanco shots cost a total of $23 & it wasn't a full shot. Other than that it was a great time. I'll be back in the future!“

“This restaurant is amazing. I would say that this is the Best Excperiece in a restaurant that I ever had.First, everyone is very friendly and personable.Second, the setting give you Greek vibes.Third, the Service is Outstanding!!!THE FOOD IS AMAZING AND IT IS VERY AUTHENTIC GREEK WITH MODERN TEIST AS THEY SAY.Fifth, it is spotless clean, the table clothes are change after everybody and you can see when they prepare the food that they use gloves and wash their hands all the time.Please, keep doing what you are doing. This place deserve 5 ?!!!“

“If you are looking for tasty food, good drinks, and a relaxing patio in Kansas City?? Cliff's Taphouse off Gillham road. We happened to go during happy hour and ordered an appetizer off of the happy hour menu. We started with the Bruschetta for $7, which was stacked with fresh ingredients. I ordered the MASSIVE buffalo chicken wings off of the happy hour menu for $11. I also ordered a side of creamy mac & cheese. My friends ordered the large Steak & Gorgonzola Salad. During happy hour, there are select $5 cocktails that you can pick between if interested. The service was great and attentive as well. I will definitely be back for happy hour and brunch asap! Highly recommend Cliff's Taphouse in Kansas City if you are looking for a patio and great happy hour deals.“

“Blackdog is my safe place. I tend to get there right at open, enjoy the cafe while it isn’t busy. They have secluded seating that is perfect for somebody like me who kinda hides from the crowd. The staff always takes such good care of me. They’re slowly remembering my name, I don’t feel judged for getting my overly sweet lattes, I get beautiful art on my drinks, their coffee cake makes me super happy, and I’m glad to be supporting any place but Starbucks honestly. People complain about prices but you spend more at a big corporation coffee place and get less than a quarter of the attention in your drink. I love this team of employees. I appreciate them and their hard work and I’m thankful to have such a cozy place to escape to.“

“This is a great brewery and the best I visited in KC. I had the pleasure of talking with the owner and the brewer and learned a lot about the beers and the KC beer scene. The fish and chips were also very good. They have indoor and outdoor seating options and the environment is very comfortable. The beers I tried: Wheat (excellent) Biscuit (great) Marzen (very good) Chocolate Stout (great)“

“I cannot express how special this place is too me.Me and my girlfriend have been going here since we started dating.Every time we go here, we have gotten the same seat almost every time (It's really cute to us).On top of all that, we have tried the sides, the miso soup, and most of the sushi. If you want a great first impression, get the sushi boat; for it is amazing!They put love and care into their food, and the atmosphere is just a great.This is my #1 favorite place to eat in the Metro area.Vegetarian options: There are dishes that contain no meat, and most if not all rolls are labeled what is in them.If you don't see it, ask, the staff is extremely friendly.“
