50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Oak Park

“Impressive collection of beer options but average food. They also do not allow food to be brought in from outside, so would recommend getting food elsewhere before coming here. They often have food trucks available but we missed out when we visited because there was no warning they were leaving. Regardless, I will be returning for their beer alone!“

“Bella, our bartender, was super cool and friendly. She knew the beers and was quick to keep us hydrated. Beers are top notch. From sours to stouts to IPAs, you will find multiple beers you'll love. The rating on Untapped reviews are right. Over 4 star beers on most! I got a Wheel Horse (cherry wheat sour) and coconut cuvée. Yum. Yum. Yum. Food trucks outside. Huge parking lot in the back. Easy to find. Tons of seating options and the biggest wrap around bar I've seen in a long time. Comfortable temperature (as in you're not freezing or sweating inside). Generous happy hour is 4-8 I believe. $1 off drafts I think. My only regret is not visiting sooner. Run club - see you soon!“

“Love this place! I've never been unhappy with a drink I've ordered and the staff has always been so kind and helpful. I'm jealous I don't work there - it looks like a blast! Excellent atmosphere.I'm dying for the ube syrup they had this summer. I think about it weekly lol“

“Unbelievable pizza, seriously. Best pizza I have EVER had, no joke, and I've had a lot! Cooked perfectly, every aspect of the pie on point in a major way. Godly crust...for real. Friendly greeting with a smile upon entry, owner told us about their history and recent addition/renovation. This is everything you want in a pizza place. A+, 10, , however you wanna put it. Excellence in primo pies abound here.“

“This place has a cool atmosphere and good vibes. The food is great and there’s many choices to pick from. I really enjoy the unique Thai Classics at Bangkok 96 and the fresh made ice cream that they have. Staff is super awesome and very friendly. this place will be the spot to be at in the summertime months, enjoying both the inside and outside atmosphere“

“Best Thai meal at a restaurant I’ve had. Sensational. This place is worth the drive. I see a lot of reviews about small plates. That’s probably if you do the taste testing option. My daughter and I each ordered our own meal and the proportions were large enough to bring leftovers home. The flavors are incredible. They are deep and layered, and have the perfect spice.My daughter had the Jungle Mussels. The broth could be a meal on its own with the garlic toast to dip in it. The chicken curry (KHAO SOI ) was also the most flavorful version I’ve had. My only pause was the whole drumstick. I would have preferred smaller pieces in the broth than picking apart the chicken off the bone. The Coconut pan cake appetizer was fun and different. So delicious. My daughter had the non-alcoholic blackberry and cardamom tea. I had the Special Thai tea with rum. Both were delicious and complimented the meal well.My daughter was treated with a desert of coconut ice cream with a crumble topping and sauce. Was so good, no other ice cream desert could compare.The service was attentive and had a menu prepared for us to indicate the allergens we needed to avoid. The atmosphere was laid back and casual and tastefully decorated in a fun, modern and crisp way.Can’t wait to go back.“

“Great visit on a recent trip. My wife and I visited three other local breweries and really enjoyed our stop here. The beer was very good! The fried calamari and grits was incredible! Our bartender was very friendly and inviting. Enjoyed our conversation during our stay. Will definitely come back again.“

“Delectable, Dynamic, and Down to earthWhen you first walk into Warda Patisserie, you are delighted by the salivating smells wafting from the kitchen and the delectable arrangements of pastries, leading your eyes (and stomach) further into the shop.Feasting first, with the eyes, you will notice that the flavor combinations on the pastries are out-of-the-ordinary (with a flavor to match). For example, Ube Flan, Yuzu Mousselline, and Mango Black Sesame Financiers, to name a few. I asked the staff about the inspiration for the flavors and was informed of Warda Bouguettaya's global pastry education. I even had the opportunity to meet her, as she was standing right behind me! For being an award-winning, critically acclaimed chef, her humility and centeredness spoke loudly!I was eager to try these treats and chose an item she recommended: her Ube Flan. It was an excellent balance of flavor, not too sweet, adorned with toasted coconut, and an excellent start to my Saturday. Also, the space, although intimate and close-quarters, was not loud for a Saturday morning. Every table was filled, but people were quick to enjoy their pastries and then get on with the rest of their day.With a friendly and knowledgeable staff, Warda's Patisserie should be a must-go if you are looking for delicious treats, a good way to start the weekend, or an excuse to treat yourself. Anyway, if you are looking for a superb bakery then look no further.“

“OMG. Best pizza we have had in a very long time. I've stalked them on Facebook for awhile. We were in Detroit for training and we grabbed 2 pies on the way to our hotel. Holy crap. As close to pizza perfection as you can get. Whenever we go to another city or state, I always look up best rated pizza places so we have had a lot of good pizza. Pie-Sci is in the top 2 of all the pizza places we've had. it makes me sad that they are 3 hours away but it will become a must stop when we are near.“

“We went on a night that they had live local music. What fun!! A true dive bar, which is my favorite! Space is tight inside and every shot on the pool table is a trick shot! There's a beautiful black cat that roams the property. The outside area is spacious and full of seating, including lots of porch swings. Booze is reasonably priced.“

“First time dining at Cork and Gabel for a date night and it was an amazing experience that made us feel like we were the only ones there in the middle of a packed restaurant. We loved the decor/design and menu - and our experience chatting with the staff member, Rick. We got to order a custom drink and had the bartender personally bring it to me. It was all so delicious. Thank you so much for the hospitality and kindness, as well as for our cool waiter, Alex. Can't wait to check it out again.“

“Occasionally, when a craving for chocolate strikes, I make my way to this hidden gem. Nestled in charming Berkley, Clark’s Ice Cream is a delightful sanctuary for ice cream aficionados. With its diverse selection of flavors and affordable prices, it easily rises to the top of the list.Now, let's dive into the highlight: the ice cream.? Indulge in the peanut butter cup flavor without hesitation—it's absolutely divine! Your taste buds and soul will thank you indefinitely. ?“

“Exceptional location with a wide variety of drinks. We come from windsor (Canada) just for this place. The best part for us is that it's dog friendly.They are receptive to ordering food from outside and bringing it in which I admire.And best of all, you can break up a six back if you just want a single beer! Love it, can't wait to come back“

“First time here. Came with three kiddos who had sandwiches off their kids menu. Portions are generous, staff is kind, service is fast. My son was watching him make the sandwiches and the gentleman didn’t seem to mind at all, he was engaging and talkative. Really appreciated it! Will definitely be back.“

“Urbanrest is the type of brewery/bar that makes you look around and think, "It might be the pint talking, but suddenly the idea of getting old one day might not be so scary as long as there are community spaces like this within walking distance."A cool atmosphere, good beer, people of all ages and backgrounds, families, dogs at the tables outside when it's nice out, all enjoying themselves and taking a load off in a casual, familiar feel.Bonus points for the pride flags, and extra mega super bonus points for when they host the Belly It! food truck.An awesome event setting for renting out the back room, too!“

“Such a great local neighborhood bar. As a patron that lives within biking distance it is always a wonderful local spot to enjoy a cold craft brew on a beautiful day. Indoor is very chill with a geat bar space and nice little outdoor seating for anyone that wants to soak up the sunshine. Very small food menu of pizza with meat and pizza without both delicious Detroit style made fresh to order. Cant go wrong for a brew and beer at this hidden jem in new center“

“Let me start off: KAL's lived up to the hype. I've always been curious driving by but I was especially curious after I saw all the glowing reviews.I got a beef shawarma bowl with all my favorite fixings and was left thoroughly satisfied and happy. They were super friendly and, since we were sitting right by the window, they checked in with us a couple times to make sure we had everything we needed and were happy.I'll be coming back here as often as I can.Wheelchair accessibility: Same level from the street/parking lot all the way to the order window. Automatic doors on the entrances to the Farmer's Market building.“

“Fabulous experience! As a City fan, we went to watch City v Arsenal here because our regular pub was closed on Easter. The service was spectacular, and the food was even better. Many thanks to the Arsenal supporters club for being gracious and friendly!“

“Fire Ass Vegan is located inside Fresh Rootz. The menu offers so many great options that it is hard to choose. I can't wait to try everything. The staff is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is cool. I'm looking forward to my next visit.“

“ordered from door dash a couple of times and this will be my last. every time, there is something wrong with the order. today, half of the order was missing and packing was so careless that the driver showed up with a container full of food spilled in the bag. As for the food, it has never been great, just okay.“

“Never disappointed when visiting my favorite tearoom, The Fern. The owner, Theresa, is a kind, caring host who takes her time to match guests to the perfect tea. Whether you’re looking for hot or cold tea, The Fern has one that’s bound to make your tastebuds dance! Additionally, the place is cozy and relaxing, which makes it the perfect place to read a book, complete a puzzle, or chat with a friend.“

“Summertown Fresh has a variety healthy food options in Corktown - the food is freshly prepared right in front of you. They made a juice for me and literally pureed/blended the veggies as I waited. The staff is friendly, there is street parking in front, and they have a great light-filled space that is great for hanging out, having a meeting, or getting some work done on the laptop (free wifi). They also cater sandwiches and other foods for local businesses.“

“Norman was the kindest when I stumbled upon his Cafe while in Troy! Was here for work and saw the awesome reviews so decided to check it out. While there, he was so sweet to offer the rest of my work crew (who was working out in the cold, rain that night) a cannister of coffee for everyone! Thank you so much, Norman! Amazing coffee and service! :)“

“Really great coffee and bagel was yum. The egg on the bagel and chive cream cheese were also delicious.I’m a little confused about the shopping sections in the corner of the restaurant but I guess that’s cool that they’re supporting local business. It just threw me off and it would’ve been nice if there were more tables… I had to sit outside. Luckily it was a nice enough day.“

“This is my favorite place to go with my classmates after our night class! We get there about an hour (sometimes 30 minutes…sorry) before closing, and they’re always very accommodating. Jacob has served us multiple times and he’s a real gem! Friendly, and quick! I’m Always sure to give him a good tip for serving us so close to closing time.Dietary restrictions: Their vegan options are delicious. From the build your own nachos to the plant based tacos.“

“I have gotten takeout from Amici's before, but this was my first time dining in! Really nice ambiance, we came around 7:30pm on a Saturday. Dim lighting, high seating, outdoor heated patio, and a super cool bar. Service was great too. I really like their pizza, more of a thicker crust, and the toppings are fantastic. They have great speciality pizza options, it was hard to choose which ones to try! We settled on the 'Pep In Your Step' and 'Shrooms and Grass', both in the smallest size avail. The banana peppers on the Pep In Your Step were such a good acidic addition to the meaty pizza. Also pepperoni cups! Best pepperoni shape (in my opinion). The Shrooms and Grass sauce was delicious, you can really taste the truffle. Definitely recommend! Great place to bring a group to share. We were only a party of 2 so luckily we had a bunch of leftovers for the next day ;)“

“Coffee is amazing. However, I’m dinging one star on service only because it’s Christmas Eve day, and I’m a Jew who wished a Merry Christmas, and got replied back with a Happy Holidays...on Christmas.You can say Merry Christmas, on Christmas. Nobody gonna cancel you. Merry Christmas ? ? ??“

“This is an odd and difficult review. You can't leave half stars on Google, otherwise this would be 4.5. Don't want to leave 4, 5 it is.The beer, excellent. The Winter Lager is better than the Boston brand version.Camping Beer is amazing. Was so good brought 4 home.Food we had was great. Had their version of a Smash Burger. The one thing I'd like additional would be pickle slices. One thing I NEED on a burger... MUSTARD! There was none available. That made it a 3 star meal LOL. Also, you have to serve yourself. Which is fine. For the great pricing on the burger and fries, I'll carry my food. And the fries...incredible to me.Bartenders. Friendly, helpful and thoughtful. I ordered a beer that came in a can. Bartender poured it in the glass and handed me the can because there was a splash left. I have never experienced that in 35 years of going to bars.Definitely a good stop and will be back.“

“I purchased the Turkey Stacker and I AM BOLD pressed juice. Great pair for spring weather! The service was quick. Friendly environment, this business is in a good spot that is around other businesses, and great food/drinks. Also, the branding is super nice! The logo on the glasses and the newspaper style wrappers for the food is superb!“

“This was definitely a treat for the family. Services was fantastic and they had plenty of staff making the rounds to ensure guests had what they needed. Not too intrusive though. If you like steak, you want to put Prime & Proper on your bucket list.“

“We had our sober social and karaoke night at The Congregation. They were amazing. They had everything we needed and helped to make sure we were all set for our event. The mocktails were a huge hit and the coffee is the greatest. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Always enjoy my coffee and spending time here they have handmade sandwiches as well as excellent coffee beverages and regular coffee now open also in the back of the building there is an area where you can bring your dog and still order coffee and it will be served to you. Definitely would recommend also trying one of the house made sandwiches or wrap. And their sweet treats are great.“

“Currently, my favorite watering hole downtown (one of several for sure). I can't get enough Elephant Juice and 313 IPA. Even better if you bring a traditional Mitsos gyro with you (across the street). The gods must be crazy putting so much decadence so close together.“

“I’m visiting in from Chicago for the weekend. I discovered this place on Friday night and absolutely fell in love. Returned on Saturday night and am seriously thinking about coming again Sunday afternoon before I leave. Erma’s is that AMAZING!! The Peanut butter parfait is heaven. The custard puff with hot fudge is just as delicious.“

“We’ve gotten Dooped Donuts twice downtown and once at the Ferndale Project and they are are always amazing! We decided to order two dozen for our baby shower and they did not disappoint. They were a huge hit and nobody could believe they’re vegan. They’re THE best! Our favorite is the cinnamon swirl!“

“It had been 5 years since my last belly up at Bumbos, but I'm glad it's still kicking. A proper bar with a proper pour. Nice staff, laid back atmosphere, good tunes and pet friendly patio. They also have a wide foot rest at the bar which amazingly some bars omit altogether. If I lived in Hamtramck, I would live in “

“Service is quick, despite there being queues - this usually happens on hotter days. Go prepared with some cash, as they don't accept cards.Parking: It is possible to park in front or on the side streetKid-friendliness: Place frequented by families with children“

“Had a great time with a couple of my friends. The bartender was very respectful and attentive and even though the card machine went down he let us leave to continue our amazing night meeting with our other friend. The bartender was very friendly and I look forward to returning and paying the tab I was unable to pay and buying one of their shirts in my size“

“Rose latte and tomato basil soup are *cgef’s kiss* delicious. I recently visited three days in a row because of how yummy the food. It is a tiny restaurant and the prices are in the more expensive side (20% tip is factored in to the prices). There is a good amount of street “

“Cocktail menu is absolutely outstanding, and you can buy everything you need to make them here. Great small grocer selection and awesome local beer selection, great curated selection of liquors and staff Is SUPER helpful and attentive. Great place to start or end a night, and even catch a game.“

“So... I never knew about this place for brunch. Wow, one of the better brunches I've had period.We had the shrimp and grits and the vegan biscuits and gravy. To sum our meal up...as the kids would say...it slapped!! It was so damn good.The shrimp and grits came with two polenta cakes. Then smoothed in a creamy sauce, topped with a pile of shrimp and bacon. You can't go wrong! The shrimp had a Cajun seasoning on them that tasted great with the cream sauce. The grilled toast points was a perfect addition to soak up some of the sauce.I only sampled some of the vegan biscuits and gravy. From what I tasted the gravy was rich and flavorful. The tofu scramble was seasoned well and it had a nice mix of peppers and onions it tasted pretty good.Overall I highly recommend this place for bunch.“

“We used Regina’s food truck for our wedding and it was perfect! The booking process was easy and fast. They were very easy to communicate with. The food was delicious and had plenty of options for everyone including gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan. Highly recommend for your next event!“

“I love this coffee shop so much! It's so convenient I can walk to it and it's open late during the week for when I need to work on side projects after my 9-5. The vibe is very cool and the music is just the right volume. There's also options to sit up front by the windows if you want more light, or you can sit in the back for a more cozy feel. I love their coffee and rotating specials. The Columbia Espresso is my favorite and I usually get a bag for home too when I'm here. The Guatemala blend is also very good!“

“Been looking for a third place to just chill & work since I work hybrid and this place is perfect! Calm & chill during the day with free wifi, great beer and retro games for when I want to take a break. They also have comedy shows & events at night. Great vibe all around“

“Hey, just leaving this place and was passing by one of the servers who was carrying a lot of food. I was gonna wait for him to pass but instead he stopped what he was doing, let me pass, saying “good customer service”. Stuff like that you can’t teach, awesome “

“These are such a cute gift. In the mid to high priced range, but worth every penny. The babes babes babes are always helpful when I go into the Detroit shop to get gifts for others, and I love that every. Single. BON. Is HANDMADE. LOCALLY. And always extraordinary flavor combinations. Thank you for providing an amazing experience and showing another side of how innovative Detroit can be. Love y’all.“

“April 2024 - came here with 3 adults and 3 children from 6-11. The food was very good. Probably the best pickle pizza we have had. The cheese bread was good. Daughter said the spaghetti with a ln added meatball was good (7 out of 10 rating). I ordered the burger and it was good. I will try something else next time. We had Meryll as our server and she was wonderful. The patio is big and it's very nice. If you want to eat outside, I would recommend this place. Overall a very good place with very good pizza. Good place to come with friends, date or family.“

“Parking sucks! Otherwise, it's a great place.Cool, repurposed location, friendly beertenders, friendly locals.Monthly euchre? I'll be back for that. Weekly trivia, too.12 taps of their own tasty liquids, well-labeled & easily read.“
