50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants South Boston

“I stumbled upon this shop waiting for the T and it was so good. Seriously one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. And the latte is great too. The woman working was also so kind and pleasant. Would definitely be a regular here if I lived in Boston!“

“Prices increases a little but quality of the food is still good. I always get their Clam strip dinner which comes with only fries. Wish they offered Cole slaw with it if you're charging $22-$23 for the dinner portion . Cheeseburger cooked fresh from the grill. Onions minced up like McDonald's. I believe their lobster rolls are $22 now? Not bad . Great customer service and clean environment after renovations. Overall, like many places, prices slightly have gone up but portion size the same . A little sad soft serve ice cream is double the price now lol $4.50 for soft serve on a cone . Time has changed .“

“We love going to Fromage with friends. The owner Tatiana is so sweet and it feels like you’ve just stepped into a European cafe. The crepes on the lunch menu and lattes are amazing.Kid-friendliness: It’s not loud like most Southie restaurants/bars and they have plenty of room for a stroller or anything needed to accommodate kids.“

“Been here many times. I legit think the French toast here is the best I've ever had (and I have had a lot of French toast). It's so perfectly fried, and there are many delicious topping choices. My favorite I've tried is the seasonal pumpkin one in the fall. Bit of a sweetness overload though, can't finish it all. But hot tip: they do half portions of French toast so you can combine it with something savory. I also like their sandwiches, biscuits, and home fries. Despite a lot of love for their pancakes, I'd say they are just fine. Mixed experiences with service are making me dock a star. Sometimes they are very slow and inattentive. Even with reservations, they sometimes make you wait a good bit for a table. I guess it makes sense since this place is SO busy. Without reservations, the wait on weekends is insane. So def recommend making one or coming on a weekday.“

“Sip of Joy is a lovely spot in the South End to enjoy a drink and pastry. The service is friendly, and the space is bright and welcoming. There are different types of seating, including counter stools and a large table.I got a plain croissant that was warmed up, and an iced chai latte. Both were tasty, but while I wouldn't get the croissant again, there were other treats that I want to try in the future.“

“Hidden in the residential area is the best lobster roll I have ever eaten! The weather was nice last weekend, so this lobster lover finally came to check out the lobster roll at this seafood shop. Lobster sandwich: It is obviously just ordinary bread, but it is fried until fragrant and then filled with thick fresh lobster meat. It only needs simple seasoning - a little mayonnaise, salt, black pepper and green onions to highlight the freshness and sweetness of the lobster. The bread is fried in butter but not greasy, and the cold lobster meat tastes fresh and chewy, not fishy at all, and basically uses the meat from the lobster body, unlike the lobsterroll in many restaurants that is cooked with tongs. It tasted so delicious, so I asked specifically, thinking that some magical sauce was added to the seasoning, but I didn't expect it to be that simple. wonderful! (The price is slightly more expensive now, $35 each.)After finishing one, I bought a second one and continued eating it in the evening.From now on, I will eat here probably once a week, it is very good! !I went and bought two more yesterday^ ^ Delicious!“

“Tatte Bakery & Cafe at One Boston Place offers a delightful culinary experience. The ambiance is cozy, with a charming atmosphere perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment alone. The pastries and baked goods are simply divine, each bite bursting with flavor and freshness.“

“Good food,freindly serviceThank you Beantown Kabab.Gyro and Baklava was realy good and fresh.Wrap bread was really realy good.Was to bussy,wait some minutes but its ok.I love what i eat.They was realy nice and explaining food details.THANK YOU .Vegetarian options: Large vegeterian selection.“

“First timer but won't be my last. Ambiance was cool. This particular Sunday was quiet...just a few patrons. Small but super cute. Service was great. Very attentive and polite. The menu selection was a little limited but we made do. Not your typical brunch but still had the big players like pancakes and a breakfast that consisted of eggs, pancake and home fries. When the plates came out we were a bit surprised at the amount of food but it was the “perfect” amount. We left satisfied.“

“Discovered this gem while searching for nearby ice cream spots. Though we've passed by it countless times, its name eluded us until now. The interior may be cozy, but its charming décor and ample outdoor seating make up for it. Portion sizes exceeded our expectations; a single scoop suffices due to their generous servings. With a diverse array of flavors, ranging from familiar classics to intriguing blends like banana oreo, our taste buds were in for a treat. Despite initial doubts, the unconventional combinations proved to be a delightful surprise. I opted for the banana oreo, a fusion like no other, and it was a flavor revelation. Meanwhile, my partner savored the white chocolate chocolate chip, equally satisfying. While the bill tallied up to around $11, the quality of service, portion sizes, and flavor variety made it a worthwhile indulgence.“

“Really good flavors. I tried the mushroom lobi bowl as my main course and also some of the appetizers and desserts. This is primarily a quick-serve take out restaurant, but they do have a handful of tables inside. They also serve breakfast too under another name. I tried their fruit compote (juice) which is house made with real fruit and it was delicious. Owner was the only one working and he was very nice.“

“The best Somali food in town. Tried their chicken and rice - absolutely delicious, and they included Sambusa with my order ?FYI: Found the place inside MIT on the 2nd floor. Got a bit lost with maps, but called their number on Google, and they guided me in. The Google pics show another branch in East Boston( not sure if the East Boston spot is open atm ), but the new spot inside MIT is where it's at.“

“When visiting a French restaurant expectations are high. The food tends to be exquisite and some dishes are here. The Foie Gras is amazing and so are all the deserts we tried. However the escargot which is something I always try at French restaurants was only ok.The service varies on who your server is as we had friends who came to the restaurant after we sat and we ordered before they even got their menus and yet they had their appetizers first. When looking for someone to call for a refill and even when we wanted the menus for desert, it is very difficult to catch anyone looking at your table as if each waiter will only look at their own table only. On the bright side they brought us water as soon as we sat and refilled it often. That is how I would get someone's attention...finish my water so someone could come by and I could ask for something.The place is very small and you will have to be a party of two and be lucky to get a table without a reservation, which is what happened with our friends..who came in a little after we sat and were hoping they could sit with us, but with such little space it seemed unlikely they would even be able to get a table but as they were asking a table for two was leaving.Its rather on the expensive side which can be understood with the quality of some of the dishes, however I would except everything to be great for these prices.Its a good place with potential to be great.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Monument in Charlestown with a large party, and I can't praise them enough for their incredible hospitality and outstanding food. Right from the start, they made us feel welcomed and accommodated us with ease, despite the size of our group.They had a great little back corner of the bar set aside for us, we were treated to chips, salsa, and guacamole, which set the tone for the amazing meal to come. The cucumber salsa was a standout, offering a refreshing and unique twist that had everyone at the table raving. It's not something you find just anywhere, and it's a must-try for anyone visiting Monument.And let's talk about the chicken sliders – they were absolutely delicious! Perfectly cooked and flavored to perfection, these sliders were a hit among our group, capturing the essence of what makes Monument's menu so special.Overall, the combination of friendly staff, a welcoming atmosphere, and delectable dishes makes Monument a top-notch dining destination in Charlestown. Whether you're planning a gathering for a large group or looking for a spot to enjoy a fantastic meal, Monument has you covered. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to enjoy more of their culinary creations!“

“Wow, just wow. Went to Bully Boy with a crew this afternoon and we had the most delightful time, all due to the lovely and talented Jack (shout-out Jack). Had some delectable cocktails and then went on an awesome tour led by Jack. After hearing his delightful history as a salesman, Jack easily sent us home $200 poorer, but a whole lot richer in spirit. WE LOVE JACK AND BULLY BOY!!!!!“

“My husband and I meet here after work sometimes for dinner, since I can drive and park easily and he can take the orange line from Boston. The bartenders are nice, the food is good and it's a fun and low-key place to be. Highly recommended.Parking: There's a lot right next door. First three hours are free but you need a credit card to get in and out.“

“The oysters are amazing!! Came in with my dad, and had one of the best meals ever! We ordered A Tale of Two Oysters, and is the way to go. This way we both could try all 8 of the day’s oysters. Hailey was our server, and was absolutely amazing. She brought over paper menus to make it easier, as my father didn’t have his phone with him. She was attentive, engaging, and just a joy to be around. She treated each able as if they were her only table, and was great at explaining and offering suggestions. We will definitely be back!!“

“Exquisite pastries. The hazelnut cream, the tarte au citron were 2 of my favorites. The meringue on the tarte was so airy, the hazelnut flavor light and moreish. Coffee eclairs have a depth of flavor...and well the chocolate fondant and cake were all one could expect. Very buzzy at 11 am and service with a smile!“

“For out-of-towners, this is a great lottle place to drop in for a wonderful lobster roll. Fast service, with small but convenient seating indoors and out. Families were there on a Friday evening and relatively quiet (even w the NFL draft on the tube).Quick to get a draft beer and the roll, sitting at the 'bar' listening to the staff talking about the goings on of a restaurant and commercial supplier.“

“This past Sunday I went out for my long run, 13.1 miles, and decided I would stop at Idle Hands on the way back.The brewery is about a mile from my house so most of the hard running would be done.I had the Gretel pilsner and it was excellent. If you like Pilsners, this one is great.The patio was open and I had a few pilsners with some friends, enjoyed the weather and jogged home.“

“Coffee, Baklava, and most importantly the unique experience of being able to peer into arguably Boston’s coolest full-service motorcycle shop. If you’re there you might even get a sneak peek at some of the Madhouse teams latest projects!!!“

“Well ok, I admit the cookies are good, it's expensive but mama the taste. On the other hand, the new lemon cookie which is $4.75 instead of $4.25 would be a matter of dosing. The uncooked dough still of course falls in the stomach. Still a line but it goes quickly.“

“Amorino Gelato on Newbury Street offers a delightful gelato experience, with excellent service, a charming interior, and high-quality, flavorful gelato that sets it apart.Full/Extended Version:My visit to Amorino Gelato on Newbury Street was a delightful experience from start to finish. Located in a bustling area full of enticing bubble tea spots, restaurants, and a nearby Trader Joe's, Amorino stands out as a gem for gelato lovers.One of the highlights of my visit was the exceptional service we received. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about their gelato offerings, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The interior of the gelateria was charming, with a cozy ambiance that invited us to sit and savor our gelato.But the true star of the show was, of course, the gelato itself. Amorino's gelato is a cut above the rest, offering a natural denser, richer flavor than traditional ice cream. Each scoop was bursting with flavor, and the quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite. The variety of flavors and the way they were presented, shaped like a blooming flower, added to the overall experience.Whether you're in the mood for a classic flavor like stracciatella or something more adventurous like mango or pistachio, you can expect nothing but the best from Amorino. Each flavor we tried was delicious, and it was clear that a lot of care and attention went into crafting each batch of gelato.If you're in the mood for some delicious gelato in a charming setting with excellent service, look no further than Amorino Gelato on Newbury Street. It's a perfect spot to satisfy your sweet tooth and indulge in a scoop (or two) of high-quality, flavorful gelato.“

“The food is nice and surprisingly tasty. The falafel is nicely presented and shawarma is on point! The plate serving is big in my opinion. The staff is very nice and always smiling!! Highly recommend for tourist whose looking for a local taste“

“My sister-in-law just sent me and my wife a door dash order to cheer us up, with cold brew and two pains au chocolat. I took one bite and… wow. Buttery but light and flaky, cooked just right - understated perfection in a bag! I grew up in France, and this is honestly one of the best French pastries I have had in 28 years living in the US. Even in France it's not every day you find one this good! We’ll be going there for more, can’t wait to try what else they have to offer!“

“Welcome and friendly service, the pasta is perfectly cooked and the accompaniments are delicious. The pesto sauce is a bouquet of flavor and the shrimp pasta a watercolor of taste and texture.The service is fast, attentive, excellent value for money ?, very pleasant time ?“

“How was the pizza you ask? A wise man once said a picture is worth a thousand words!Awesome food and a nice beer selection. I will assert that this is a wonderful spot to chill, have good food, and meet nice wholesome people! ? PS - no wifi here so be prepared to talk and be social! Like its 1999!“

“Cool - more stoner metal than headbanger on a recent visit (on 4/20, so that tracks). All positive: sharp aesthetic; friendly, knowledgeable staff; plenty of parking and room for special events; food trucks; to-go options and merch; and the OG beer hearse. Similar enough to the newer Boston location that you can pick whichever is convenient, if not going for an event.“

“This place is simple. It sells boba, and it sells waffles. I’ve tried the waffles, next time boba! But I did really love the variety it had with waffles. Lots of fun flavors like strawberry cheesecake and apple pie (which I got). I also loved how all the employees handled the waffles with care.The place was pretty busy on a Saturday evening with not a ton of space. I got my waffle in about 10 minutes and ate it on the walk to the theater.The apple pie waffle was good. The waffle itself was hot and yummy. It wasn’t a Belgian waffle, but it wasn’t a normal waffle either. The batter must have something in it to make it taste a bit different. It was pretty fluffy and held up the toppings quite well. The cinnamon apple chunks were lightly warmed and gently sweet. The “crust” was Biscoff cookies. I think a Graham cracker crumble would have been better because the Biscoff was too sweet compared to the apples and waffle.I’ll definite come again!“

“One of the best breweries in Boston with the coolest vibe. The beers are super fresh and they have such a great variety between IPAs, lagers, porters & sours. Super friendly bartenders and a beautiful, spacious patio which is perfect for the warmer months. Plus they have great coffee!“

“Kushala Sip Coffee House is a beautiful, clean spot offering a great selection of food and beverages. I ordered a hot Café Latte and a Spanish omelette, and both exceeded expectations. The latte came in a generous glass mug, while the omelette was perfection with layers of thinly sliced potato. The ambiance was serene, with other patrons enjoying their Sunday morning over relaxing bossa nova music. A perfect place to unwind and enjoy quality food and drink. Highly recommend! It’s so nice to see that Chelsea is finally Gentrifying.“

“This is a great place for groups and families. It’s overall a great time for bowling and nice little novelty experience if you haven’t tried it before. We only had two people so it might not have been worth it but we enjoyed it anyway. I actually liked the paper scoring but I can see why people would prefer automated.Unfortunately the lanes next to use kept breaking and it affected us getting enough balls, at one point our lane just had one and we kept having to wait for it to return to finish our turn. Other lanes had plenty and it would have been nice to have a staff member try and make it more even (further annoyance was that when we saw another lane only have one we gave a few of ours…? not realizing it would break and we would be down to one). We eventually just lost steam and finished up within the hour.Food service: extremely quick food service, and friendly staff. No complaints here.Food: the pizza was good, not amazing. They could have had more toppings for the speciality pizzas. We also ordered a drink which was ok. We finished the night off with dessert and got a lemon blueberry whoopie pie with ice cream. I kid you not, the whoopie pie tasted like Entemann’s little bites that you get at the grocery store. The lemon cream was way too sugary. I appreciated the whole locally sourced ingredients and the high quality… but it’s gotta taste good too.Overall we enjoyed the experience but it’s not my favorite.“

“I've lived in Boston all my life. At the age of 55, I finally went to the Pru with the Wife, and we went to the top of the building to the observation deck... I've seen Boston from a different view...It's pricey up their... But, Boston is still beautiful.“

“I had the large lobster roll and a small clam chowdah ! it was great ! It was small inside but I found a seat . On a nice day they have a large outdoor seating area . my lobster roll was great and so was my soup. The service was fast . I will go again when I am back in “

“Great brewery. The beer was awesome Northeast IPAs as well as a couple of West Coast. The bartenders were awesome especially Brian wealth of information around the neighborhood too. first time in Boston he hooked us up with a couple other good restaurants.“

“My mom hosted my Bridal Shower in the private room at Night Shift Brewing's Everett Taproom and it was a dream come true!The space was recently renovated and looks amazing! Table/Couch configuration is customizable and Night Shift provided a few folding tables as well.My shower was in February and Valentines Day themed, I am *still* hearing from guests on how great the space was, how everyone enjoyed their drinks (& were so surprised Night Shift served more than just great beer!), and how wonderful Mike and the rest of the NSB team was!“

“What a great experience at Fuki.. the staff was quick, attentive and friendly but not overbearing which made for a very pleasant meal. I decided to try the set menu which for $45 a person was a great deal. I thought the spicy seafood salad was delicious as well as the chefs choice sashimi and rainbow maki. They had plenty of seating and nice low lighting which was relaxing. I will be recommending Fuki to friends and family for years to come. Hats off to the chef, keep up the good rolling.“

“First time coming here. We tried the chicken lasagna, pomodoro pasta, and had the chocolate cake for dessert. The pasta was a bit overcooked to what I prefer, but overall everything was tasty, and portion sizes were generous for the prices. Service was very good despite the restaurant being busy. Would definitely be willing to come back if we're ever in the area.“

“My son ate all of your greek style pancakes and thats a huge compliment to the food! Everything else from the brunch menu was super tasty and service was great. it gets busy early, so come as early as you can. Overall, great food great service and very airy and spacious space. Loved it!“

“This was my first ever Tatte location I went to. It was warm out so I sat outside for a nice view. Got the prosciutto toast with pesto and goat cheese and now it’s my go to Tatte dish. Their honey halva house latte is a must try too - also my go to Tatte drink.“

“Absolutely delicious and authentic style Mexican food. I had the TACOS BIRRIA my girlfriend had the tempura shrimp tacos. We are from NY and here staying at an Air BNB up the road , if we lived local we would be ordering from here at least once a week ! Highly recommend.“

“Serg & Evelina have created my favorite little-known coffee shop and I almost do not want to write this post and blow up my spot. My husband and I go here as often as we can. It is so nice to feel like a part of a neighborhood and community. We stumbled upon Bikeeny and are so happy we did.“

“I always get the classic with house mayo, and it’s made perfectly every time (seriously, how do they get a runny egg so perfect?). It’s the perfect breakfast sandwich to start off my day, and it’s so affordable (under $10!) I swear my life improves just a little bit every time I eat my favorite breakfast sandwich at Mike & Patty’s.“

“Such friendly service and warm atmosphere! Love the interior, the booths were comfortable to sit at! Loved the personal photos on the wall and the bright colors of the decor. It was hard to choose what to pick since everything sounded wonderful. The hummus and cucumber mint dip with the hot pita were the best start with! Could have eaten just that for lunch but had to try the bowls. The falafels were crispy on the inside and soft and inviting in the inside. You could taste and see the freshness of all the ingredients! The mint lemonade, get yourself a pitcher! Finished with the homemade baklava, oh my gosh, so freaking flavorful! The family owned restaurant is top notch! Even if your not a vegetarian, you will enjoy the flavors and variety, also you will be full for the rest of the day! Looking forward to coming back next time in the area!“

“Short Path is one of my fav places in the Boston area. I’ve been here multiple times but most recently to celebrate a surprise birthday party.The gin and drinks are phenomenal but what surpasses that is the staff. Very kind and accommodating! There was a hiccup in the event on our end but they were the best.Jeff who was working in the distillery was so kind and sweet.No doubt that we will be back!!Definitely consider Short Path Distillery to host your event!!“

“Went with my family, loved the experience! Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free friendly. Awesome staff and great ambiance. Do not go for the cocktails, they are very small in size for the same price as other restaurants. Might have a better time with other drinks instead.“

“I stopped in here with a friend after a long walk and I'm so glad we went here. We got there not too much before closing, but they were just as friendly and accommodating as if we got there first thing. They have a ton of options, including plenty for vegetarians and vegans. I got the breakfast burrito (as I am seemingly always craving one) and my friend got the caprese. I was tempted by the treats they had in the display case, but we opted just to get our sandwich/burrito. Our food came out quickly and was perfectly made. I really appreciated that the egg in my burrito was bodega-style which made it so much less messy to eat. My friend practically devoured her sandwich; she thought the maple balsamic was so tasty and the veggies and pesto were really fresh. She has food allergies and was really happy with how much they laid out what was and wasn't in the food. They had convenient parking and plenty of outdoor tables. I will definitely come back when I'm in town.“

“Came in for a quick visit and the main seating area was very busy. Lots of people working, which is to be expected for any cafe in Boston. The staff was friendly and lively when they took my order. I just got a raspberry crumb bar and it was linzer tart like and delicious! They had some other tasty options it seemed so I will probably be back for a study session.“

“The true draw of this location is the staffs' diligence when it comes to the initial vetting dogs. I'm glad we can bring our pet here knowing that, while we have to keep watch, we can lower the intensity and enjoy being in the space. This, accompanied by their constant awareness of all the dogs running around, makes for a great time for us owners while the animals get to be off leash doing their own thing.“

“Tasty beers, friendly staff, and some off the wall pizzas (though I haven't had any, the toppings qualify as nutso bonkers). Also near a bunch of solid restaurants if bar pizza isn't your thing. Highly recommend if you like beer and are a nice person. I should also mention that Liam, one of the beertenders, is super friendly and obviously deserving of a raise!“
