Pet-Friendly Restaurants in Palm Coast

Palm Coast, Florida, is a paradise for pet lovers and food enthusiasts. With more than 15 parks, preserves, and recreational facilities alongside over 130 miles of picturesque paths and trails, this coastal community offers endless opportunities for outdoor adventures. Add to that a vibrant dining scene that welcomes four-legged companions, and it’s no wonder Palm Coast is a favorite destination for those who enjoy life’s finer—and furrier—pleasures.

Whether you’re seeking a casual breakfast, a laid-back seafood dinner, or craft beers with a twist, Palm Coast’s pet-friendly eateries deliver. Not only do they cater to pets with thoughtful touches like water bowls and designated patios, but their outdoor seating areas also let patrons soak up the area’s balmy, year-round climate. Here’s a closer look at some of Palm Coast’s top spots for dining out with your dog.

250 Palm Coast Parkway NE

Beer lovers and their pups will feel at home at The Brass Tap. With more than 150 craft beers from around the globe, this upscale neighborhood bar offers a dynamic experience for its patrons. Their outdoor seating is dog-friendly, making it easy to relax with a cold brew and your furry companion in tow. Regular events, live music, and a welcoming atmosphere ensure this spot remains a local favorite.

Pet-Friendly Note: A covered and heavily shaded patio keeps your pup (and you) cool; a PetCo across the Island Walk Shopping Center parking proves convenient for picking up pet provisions before or after your Brass Tap visit.

A destination in itself, European Village is a charming complex that combines dining, shopping, and entertainment. Stroll through its cobblestone courtyard to discover unique boutiques, restaurants, and bars. Many eateries within the village, such as Mezzaluna Pizzeria or The Village Pub, offer dog-friendly patios. Live music and seasonal events add to the allure, making this a must-visit for pet owners and foodies alike.

Pet-Friendly Note: In addition to the multiple dog-welcoming patios across the development, European Village sits adjacent to a section of St. Joe Walkway, part of the 57-acre Palm Coast Linear Park, and an outstanding spot to take your furry friend for a walk.

2201 N. Ocean Shore Boulevard, Flagler Beach

With our next stop, we venture into neighboring Flagler Beach for the beloved oceanfront establishment—Java Joint Beachside Grill. Pairing oceanfront views with laid-back vibes, this rustic seaside eatery is known for its hearty breakfasts, creative lunch options, and outstanding Mimosas. A favorite of Palm Coast and Flagler Beach locals, the Java Joint welcomes dogs (and treats them well with milk bone and water) on its outdoor deck. 

Pet-Friendly Note: Though the oceanfront deck is a bit narrow, the semi-high top seating allows your dog all the room it needs underfoot; the extremely dog-friendly beach across the street is an added bonus.

5224 North Oceanshore Boulevard

A must for anyone craving fresh seafood, JT’s Seafood Shack redefines the classic roadside haunt with a charming lowland ambiance and an outstanding offering of coastal comfort food. This casual, unassuming eatery—if you blink, you might miss it driving by on Oceanshore Boulevard—serves up oysters, shrimp, crab cakes, and more. Its outdoor seating area is both spacious and pet-friendly and hosts local music acts every Friday and Saturday night, making it an excellent choice for a family outing—dogs included.

Pet-Friendly Note: The large patio offers patrons plenty of space and is perfect for those with bigger dogs, but do require they be leashed at all times.

5115 North Oceanshore Boulevard

Less than a quarter-mile from JT's is Rodie's Place, another dog-friendly eatery specializing in breakfast and lunch. A must-stop for gourmands looking for fresh, made-from-scratch dishes, the menu is full of southern favorites, including fluffy pancakes, make-your-own omelets, crab-stuffed Eggs Benedict, shrimp and grits, and a bevy of satisfying sandwiches. In addition to delivering delightful flavors from its kitchen and the laid-back come-as-you-are vibe, Rodie's is a welcoming spot for anyone with their canine friends in tow. 

Pet-Friendly Note: There are two outdoor seating areas, on the front porch and a side/back yard area with umbrella tables. The latter proves the better option for giving your pup a cool grassy spot to stretch out.

608 S. Ocean Shore Blvd, Flagler Beach

Finally, we finish our tour of pet-friendly restaurants in Palm Coast with another quick jaunt into Flagler Beach and area favorite Tortuga Florida Kitchen & Bar. Blending Florida and Caribbean cuisine, Tortugas offers a dining experience that’s as breezy and spirited as its ocean views. Their menu showcases tropical flavors and fresh seafood, and their outdoor patio is a favorite among dog owners. The Monday through Thursday Happy Hours are among the best in the region, and they regularly host special events and live music. 

Pet-Friendly Note: While the dog-friendly patio features stunning ocean views, Tortugas can prove a boisterous environment that sits directly on Oceanshore Boulevard. Skittish dogs may not be their best selves during peak hours, but social pups accustomed to crowds will have a wonderful time.
