50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Edina

“A lovely mom-and-pop restaurant that gives excellent value for $$. Everything is made from scratch in what I’d call a Latino Fusion style. I’ve only been there for lunch, where I’ve tried and highly recommend the Sandwich de Carne, Sandwich de Pernil, and Stuffed Poblano. Yummy house desserts include Tres Leches Cake, Crème Caramel, and Coffee Flan. Haven’t sampled the wine or beer, but the Arnie Palmer was delicious with homemade lemonade, not overly sweet. Décor is minimal but with fine-dining touches such as cloth napkins and fresh flower bouquets on each table. Great care obviously goes into each aspect of Cahill Bistro. Best of all, the staff is genuinely welcoming and attentive. Not to be missed!“

“Fantastic option for healthy food in the Twin Cities. One unique aspect is that the menus are different here than at the airport locations but you should try both, and you should definitely do the P.O. at the airport if you have even a slight interest in eating healthy while traveling. Very, very few if any other fully organic restaurants in airports across the country.But this location in the Southdale Mall is excellent, although it may move to a different area of the mall after some renovations soon (2024). Try the fried rice, tostadas, tea, really anything on the menu is great. This location is counter service, then seat yourself“

“A really great experience. For us, different new cuisine, made in an accessible and delicious way. The plating was appetizing. The bison, soups and yes....the snack like popcorn crickets were our favorites. A very helpful server and all the staff was friendly and nice. Very glad we went on a visit from New York. Location was pretty too.“

“Had 2 takeouts by now, extremely good tomato sauce and balanced cheese with fresh basil. Crust could be a bit more chewy and flavorful (with a higher mineral content like authentic French bakeries). Service is impeccable, truly old world generosity - we mentioned the crust was a tad on the burnt side the first visit and they gave us a free bowl of roasted carrots (which were also flavorful). Will be back again and again, and I can imagine their chefs only getting better with time“

“I can't say enough about how amazing Francis is! Outstanding food and drinks! They have the BEST Spicy Margarita that I have EVER had! Their drink menu has so many cool and unique cocktails that are different from any I have had before. Then there is the food...I literally think about the Chicken Sandwich daily. My daughter went 3 times the first week they were open, and continues to go weekly! There isn't an item in the menu that I've tried that is anything less than AMAZING! I HIGHLY recommend everyone tries it! You definitely do NOT need to be a vegan to love this food. Trust me, TRY IT! You'll love it and will ABSOLUTELY be back for more!Vegetarian options: The entire menu, including drinks, is vegan. No meat or dairy products, so perfectly suitable for vegetarians!“

“We held our company Christmas Party at their beautiful restaurant and had such a great time! The staff were so attentive and wonderful to interact with throughout the whole evening! We ordered an array of food and our employees couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic the prime rib and KFC (Korean fried cauliflower) were! The talk around the shop about this event and the delicious food went on for days! We all had such a great experience from start to finish. They made it so easy to plan, set up, host and tear down. We would highly recommend anyone looking to host a party to come here! Now if you are just looking for a bite to eat for a date night or family night out, they also have you covered. No matter what plans you have this is the spot to be! A huge thanks to Lake and Irving for all they did for us and a massive thank you to Chris the chef! That meal was better than we could have ever expected!“

“Extremely friendly atmosphere and staff. Our server, Jackson, has the best personality. Being our first visit, he explained the ingredients and recommended to try different sauces which were great. We asked to speak with his manager and Danny was just as kind. It’s nice to see a manager supporting his team with pride.“

“This place is small but BOY is it good! Their flavors are more upscale and unique compared to your typical scoop shop. Sometimes I feel like places are trying to make these new fangled flavors just to seem cool and edgy, but not here. These flavors ACTUALLY work. Are they cool and edgy? Maybe. But they're also really really good.The burgers and cheese curds are great too. There's not much else on the menu but what they do, they do VERY well and I have no complaints.“

“Sad that it took me 9 years living in the area to stop by. Hadn't known about the place until searching today. The food was great. Multiple items on the menu I wanted to try (but provides opportunity to come back). I had the Carnitas omelet, which was great. My wife had the gluten free pancakes which tasted very good as well (I thought the syrup was a bit too sweet, but I think that might be how actual maple syrup is and just not what I'm used to). Food was excellent. Highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: Seems to have some good accessible gluten-free options.“

“It was a pleasure to meet Joe! Despite everything being full of hate, "America" I was delighted to have Joe as my server, and he was marvelously amazing! Let's get out of our comfort zones and say hi, hi, greet, and simply be kind to each other! My partner Brian and I are following Joe's footsteps.“

“Whoa, all those suggestions are weird. IE has been our favorite place since they opened. The service is always good, the food is always good. It’s a little bit upscale but we regularly bike there so I never particularly care what I wear. Cocktails are good. Amari is really good.“

“First time here today for chess club meetup. I was greeted right away and the gentleman/owner was super nice and helpful. Fun yet low key environment that had cool decor with fun chairs, tables and keys on the wall. It was clean, they played good music, kinda like an upbeat coffee house. They let us bring in our own snacks. They have beer, soda, seltzer and 2 NA drinks available along with pretzels for purchase. Will come back!“

“As the name suggests, this place is all about being social. You definitely want to come with a group. My party of two stopped by on a trivia night and, even with the host on the loud speakers, I'd say the sound split was 55/45 in favor of guest chatter. Nicely varied selection of drinks, and the food truck has a solid burger. Tots were a bit over seasoned for my taste.“

“First time going here. Absolutely terrific service and food. Loved the atmosphere and was soooo tempted by the bakery case. Our group each ordered something different from each other and everyone was pleased. Cute gifts and clever t-shirts in the gift area.“

“Great ambience!!! Fun space and not too busy on a Saturday afternoon to bring my boys! Beer was great! Many different Pilsners to choose from! And some good N/A options for the kids. Fun and friendly staff and added bonus of a parking lot!!“

“Went here for dinner with my wife and brother. We were seated promptly and service was very attentive. The vibe of this place is really interesting, especially the décor.The adult beverage list is extensive and reasonably priced.My brother and I ordered the Wagu Butter Burger - 10/10! Maybe tope 3 burgers I've ever had in my life. It was perfection. The fries were also a cut above.My wife's Mediterranean sampler tasted fine, but she said my burger was better.No complaints at all. I'll be back!“

“Kruse Market is wonderful! We enjoyed the Rainbow Bowl, What’s Wrong with Basic toast, Masala Chai Tea, and Blueberry Hills coffee. All were fantastic! A friend ordered the G.O.A.T. toast (on gluten-free bread) and let me take a nibble - divine! The retail side had a ton of great merch (those basil olives!!! *chef’s kiss!*) that we also stocked up on. And my family was pleasantly surprised to be the recipients of fresh takeout pastries and some Milkjam ice cream! We had such a fantastic time! There are ample outlets for the remote worker, and enough choices to satisfy all kinds of palates and dietary needs. I can’t wait to go back for dinner!“

“I tried two of their IPAs and they were really good and I brought a smashed crab sandwich from Coastal Seafoods which was really good.The beer had a lot of good hops, but they took my credit card for the tab? What? Do you really think I was going to run out of my tab on you?That was really off putting. The music was super loud, and I could barely tell what my wife was saying.Good beer though.“

“Maybe the best food I have ever eaten! The only thing it compares to was a small, unsigned restaurant in Roam, Italy. This adorable little old grandma made what ever looked good at the market into beautiful courses. This meal brought me back to there, 17 years ago. The flavors are so well balanced that each bite has the most amazingly perfect taste. It makes you forgot looking for all the individual flavors and simply just appreciate the perfect balance of all the flavors have combined to. Lastly, I love that it feels very much like good old fashion home cooking down to the extreme! The lasagna was something I will dream about eating again. Thank you!!!!!“

“I'm gonna go ahead and add to these 5* reviews because they deserve them! We ordered at least 3 times back to back. The owner recognized me on the 2nd visit, which I appreciated. The pizza is always fresh, looks AMAZING, tastes GREAT, AND THE OWNER HANDS YOU YOUR FOOD WITH PRIDE! Oh! Yes, vegan sausage (soy) and vegan cheese (non soy ? ) available. One of my visits, there was a young man doing homework and eating pizza. It was a picturesque moment of a student after school hanging at the pizza spot. The prices are decent, too. Even though I do carry out, I made sure to tip because of the quality service and food.The photos are the first visit. Each visit after has been just as beautiful and tasty. I ordered without cheese, just to see how flavorful the sauce was. The sauce was SO flavorful, I did not miss cheese. Mind = BLOWN. The owner put me on to "fried peppers." When I tell you they add heat?!? So delicious! They are the peppers on the non-cheese pizza in the photos. Fresh veggies. Fresh basil! We love the crust. Crispy, chewy, and yummy! This place is worth it. Awesome location, tables and chairs to eat in, cute window seating, and super cool vibe. Seriously, give them some of your time and money.3.2.24 UPDATE: Back again... THEY DO NOT MISS! This is what you call CONSISTENCY! Today was a cheese pizza with Italian seasonings and light white onion on half. They NAILED it! No need to request extra cheese or well done. This is real pizza.Vegetarian options: Vegan cheese and sausage (soy) available“

“Oh good gravy, I can’t begin to explain how good their Ruben Sandwich is! Side salad also on par with what tastes like homemade dressing. The side of homemade chips is a surprise bonus of deliciousness.Second time grabbing take out from here and the flavor and quality are just solid!“

“One of the best MN distilleries, IMO. Every spirit I've had is smooth and well balanced. Their blue agave tequila is one of my favorites and something I drink in the rocks. Tried their spiced rum today and it's just as good. Not overly sweet or cloying like a lot of rums can be. Nice notes of cinnamon, allspice, and anise. The taproom is really laid back but can get loud and hard to hear folks you're talking with. The service of amazing and ordering by QR core at the table makes everything really smooth. They've got some bar snacks and Heggies of you don't want to order in. Their cocktails are all well balanced, strong, and not overly sweet. It's one of my favorite places to grab a drink since it's not pretentious like a lot of other cities lounges or "rustic" like you get in the country. Just a lot of people looking to have a drink or two and get some good conversation.“

“Urban Growler did not disappoint. We were there for a paint your pet fundraiser and were upstairs in the event space. The staff was very nice, taking food and beverage requests for the group and delivering them upstairs. I appreciated the time one of the employees took to answer my many questions about the beer and seltzer options. I chose the Growling Mule, which was delicious. The space was welcoming, bathroom was clean, with the biggest win being the option of food at the brewery. I posted multiple pictures of the outside space and of The Barrel Room. We enjoyed our first visit and will plan on returning soon!“

“Unfortunately couldn't capture a photo because we ate the food so fast!We ordered the gyro, waslad, and boy we could not have been happier with our meal. The spices, tenderness, and how they fried their food could not have been more perfect. Their sauces are spicy yet not overwhelming. I'm surprised I haven't heard of this place, it should be on everyone's hot list for the Twin Cities.“

“I love that the menu is made up of both tapas-style options and full entree dishes from the Caribbean + also New Orleans- some of my favorite flavors! The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and helpful. Both the cocktails and NA drinks are fantastic, and the ambiance is a welcome addition to North Loop + the Twin Cities-- festive, fun, relaxing, good vibes.“

“Great food and service. We split a caesar salad and 3 pizzas among 4 people. It was plenty of food for everyone. Really enjoyed the Tavern Pie. Employees were very friendly and helpful when deciding amount of food to get for our group. Will definitely be back to try other pizza options in the future.“

“We recently enjoyed the the Köld Kolsch from Fair State. We do like our kolsch beers and we enjoyed this one fairly well. It had all the features and highlights like a kolsch should. With this beer the flavor highlights are crisp ,clean, bready and some presence of graininess.It was a very refreshing beer and one that we liked quite a bit as the heat of midsummer cranked up a few notches when we enjoyed this Kolsch a few weeks ago.“

“We had to make some last minute changes and reach out to El Jefe to see if they could assist us with our grooms dinner. Everyone was amazing through the whole process and very accommodating. The food was incredible and served fast. Even with the 100 degree weather Miguel made sure we had a great time. Thank you El Jefe!“

“We visited Headflyer yesterday during the Johnny Athletic podcast recording. Packed house. Our first visit to this brewery and we were impressed. Excellent beer. I had the Feel the Flow Golden Ale. A great choice for me. My wife enjoyed the Root Down. Friendly staff. Nice size parking lot.“

“A cosy brewery where you can sit down with your buds and enjoy every sip. They have a good variety of beers on tap and few seasonal ones as well. You can have free popcorns on the side to enjoy with your beers. They have limited seating for up to around 10 tables, so chose a not so busy time to go there and make the most of it. ?“

“The atmosphere was nice. I feel like it's more of a place to meet people rather than to work as it gets quite loud. I visited on a late Saturday morning and it was pretty busy. I'm giving the "food" 3 stars because the "hot" coffee flight I ordered was not hot. Three were warm and one was cold. It's definitely been my least favorite coffee flight experience so far and it's disappointing because that's the whole reason I wanted to visit.“

“The lovely barista recommended I put some cardamon on my latte- it was incredible. Thanks so much- I really enjoyed it.The cafe is quaint, the service is kind and helpful. The food people had looked tasty. I only wish I could have stayed longer. Will be back!“

“Great coffee spot for working remotely. Has an industrial feel with high ceilings. Quiet and clean. Enjoyed my ham and cheese scone from Amy’s Cupcake Shoppe. It was tasty and fresh. Met a friend for coffee and this was the perfect spot located off Excelsior Blvd in Excelsior.“

“I met up with some friends to do the wine and tarot card reading event for Halloween night. Tickets had to be pre-purchased. Located in a small business strip with a shared parking lot. When we got there we sat at an high table and ordered some wine glasses and snacks sold at the wine room while waiting for our readings. Wine and food was good. Overall experience was fun and I'd like to come Back and try other menu items too.“

“Just had a staff happy hour ( that lasted about two hours!) that was so much fun! Great service, great apps and beverages and just a wonderful place! Haven't been in for a while due to Covid and it was GREAT to be back! A true gem in the neighborhood! Thanks, Sonder Team!“

“the coffee is amazing and they make the most interesting drink combinations for their seasonal drinks. I never thought peaches and coffee would go well together but it's delicious. they also make adorable latte art and are very involved in neighborhood events!“

“Haven't been there in a while but I'm so glad to see they are still there. Great coffee, service(quick and efficient) and the atmosphere is THE best I've ever experienced in a coffee house. The staff is friendly and so are the customers. Outside seating is great. I love that there are spaces, on the street, reserved for motorcycles. Prices, for a coffee house of this caliber, are inexpensive. I used to live in the neighborhood and Bob's became my go to. Thank you.“

“The beer is very good, and it's one of my favorite tap room venues in the city. It's in an old factory (plane wing manufacturing?) with the cranes still in the rafters. Fantastic semi-covered outdoor space, cornhole/bean-bag toss, several tables, and an overpriced food truck.Update several years later: still one of the best atmospheres in the metro. Family and dog friendly. Open air, huge patio, great food trucks.“

“The last two words "Coffee gallery" perfectly describes the coffee shop! It's cool seeing the different kinds of art work, also two huge plusses are there's plenty of tables and there's a parking lot!! For the amount of people that were there it wasn't super loud either! Will for sure be coming back again!“

“Consistently a very popular restaurant in North Loop, allow extra time to find a table without online reservations. The food does not disappoint, lots of Italian favorites to choose from. We enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan & Chicken Caesar Salad, the wood grilled oysters also seemed to be a fan favorite.“

“Highly highly recommend this food truck. I got a chicken burrito and it was like eating in Mexico. The burrito was a nice portion size so I have some left over for later. Plus the chicken had a good smokey flavor. I will 100% eat here again soon. And to think I almost went to Chipotle lol“

“My husband I have been coming here for a couple years now and we LOVE it. As frequent brewery visitors, out of all that we have been to around the Twin Cities WSB is by far our favorite. The hospitality and atmosphere this place brings is unmatched. (Of course, we also LOVE their beer!) We always get a friendly smile and a delicious pint. Highly highly recommend.“

“This is a fun dog friendly, child friendly brewery. It was very busy when we stopped by for a beer before a soccer game. The bar tenders were friendly, quick and patient. The Lake monster theme is fun. There is quite a bit of seating inside and a large patio. You can order food from a place across the patio and they will deliver it right to you. The beer was good.“

“Excellent beer selection in a dog & kid friendly environment. Location right by the train, bus, & apartments is optimal. Limited parking, but they do have spots specifically for Venn. Restrooms for customers only. Highly recommend the sours, stouts, & especially the Hawaiian Hog, which almost tastes like bacon due to the smokiness.“

“Finally tried out northbound smokehouse and it did not disappoint! They have both an indoor and outdoor seating area great for when weather permits! (Picnic tables outside on the patio) There are plenty of drink options from beer, cocktails, wines, to non alcoholic. I ordered the cider sidecar (7/10) and tried one of the IPAs (8/10) and thought both were pretty good. For food we got smoked wings (sweet and spicy 7/10) and cheese curds (8/10). For my main meal I got the brisket grilled cheese which was delicious! (9/10) Our server was very tentative and our food came out timely! I will be returning in the future!“

“Just "discovered" this wonderful place yesterday between performances by Ten Thousand Things at Luminary Arts Center 2 doors down! Customer service was friendly, joyful, expert, and truy welcoming even 20 minutes before closing (and beyond). My decaf Mocha and Cuban panini were both superlative and hit the spot. I especially loved the little free library and the cozy atmosphere. I will return as often as I can!“

“Probably the best brunch I've had since moving to the Twin Cities. The decor and general atmosphere mean that you're always going to have a fun time. Favorite dish might be the Dia y Noche. And I can't leave a review without mentioning the house hot sauce. Beyond good. We keep a bottle in our house at all times, and I don't think I can eat eggs any more without it.“

“Love! Came in here after an evening of pickleball at Lake Nokomis. For a Wednesday night, it was lively and the food was so good. My partner and I shared the Chicharron de Pollo and every part of the plate was amazing. I love plantains! It’s great vibes for a date night. I’ll be coming back for the patio this summer too!“

“We went to Pinoli for my bachelorette weekend and it was the perfect spot to celebrate! We made a reservation for brunch. There was plenty of seating for our large group. Our server was very polite and SO QUICK. To add on top of all of that- the food and drinks were top notch. I would 10/10 recommend going for an event or for a casual get together.“

“Wonderful spot in Uptown for a sweet afternoon treat with plenty of options. The place is clean and welcoming, with plenty of natural light. We tried a special flavor for Arab Heritage Month called Shosho. This is a mango-based ice cream with crushed pistachio and rose toffee. Absolutely delicious. Not too fruity, not too nutty. Perfect balance of flavors. Will definitely be visiting again to try more flavors!“
