A Running List of Dog-Friendly Restaurants in Jacksonville

UPDATE: Please note that Metro Diner is no longer dog-friendly.

If you have a dog, chances are you love taking him or her everywhere with you.

But if you’re the kind of person who really enjoys eating out, that desire to have your fur-baby around at all times can become problematic.

The good news is that Jacksonville is a relatively pet-friendly city, and there are plenty of food options that will allow you to bring your beloved doggy friend to sit with you on their patio. (City/state laws forbid non-service animals inside restaurants.)

We’ve put together a list of all the dog-friendly restaurants around the city. If you see any that we’re missing, let us know and we’ll make sure to update the list! This list is far from comprehensive, and we’ll update it as we find new locations.

Also, keep in mind that restaurants are entitled to change their policies at any time, so if you have any doubts it’s always best to call ahead and make sure.

(Note that we have ommitted national chain restaurants, but many do have outdoor seating areas that allow dogs.)
