The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Clayton

East Clayton

In addition to hosting the pawfect dog park, East Clayton also happens to have its fair share of tasty morsels for you to sample -- maybe your pup, too, if they’re really good! A hop and a skip away from the dog park, you’ll find Skylines Cafe, a highly-rated spot for lunch and dinner. They have plenty of space for you and your canine companion in the outdoor seating area. The employees are happy to cater to dietary needs, so if your pup isn’t the only one who can’t handle greasy food, this is just the place. There are gluten free options, as well as vegetarian and vegan.

Shotwell Road

Travel along Shotwell Road, and you’ll find yourself with plenty of attractions to explore, from a number of chain restaurants that allow your dog to dine in with you, to the little hidden gems that will make you want to pack a doggy bag. Cleveland Drafthouse is a family-friendly sports bar with a selection of soups and sandwiches -- and, more importantly, a place to lounge with your dog! Their outdoor area is expansive, and the employees are always eager to meet a new face… well, snout. Water bowls are available for customers, so your pup won’t get parched after slobbering on so many kisses.

US 70

Keep on trucking along and you’ll soon find yourself traversing US 70. Intersecting Shotwell Road at the most populated area, you’ll find your share of treats if you keep on the path. Your dog’s nose will thank you when you come across Lone Star Steakhouse, a high-class establishment that serves up tastes of Texas and some doggone good steaks. There are only two outdoor tables, so this might be the place for you if your dog is too overwhelmed by crowds. With the beautiful scenery of North Carolina’s hills and plains all around you, the serene moment with your favorite companion can’t be beat.

Lake Benson Park

A ways toward the west, you’ll find yourself in the nearby city of Garner, and the beautiful Lake Benson Park. Make a path to the north and your taste buds will thank you. Your dog will be even more happy to find this secret gem hidden in plain sight. A lot of people would overlook Aversboro Restaurant, and they would miss a golden opportunity. With the simple dog-friendly patio, it’s a relatively innocuous location, and that’s what makes it pawsitively amazing! It’s not some tourist trap where your pup will be hounded by noisy children; it’s a good place with good food. Try their wings, make sure to bring some treats for your pup, and enjoy a lazy evening out on the patio.

Central Clayton

Once you’ve made your rounds in the area, you may want to return to the heart of Clayton. Here, you’ll find a restaurant with that famous Carolina Barbecue that so many visit North Carolina for. Smithfields Chicken and Bar-B-Q isn’t just for pulled pork, however. Their chicken is definitely a treat for your taste buds, and your dog will be eager just to get a good sniff. The outdoor area is a perfect place for your pup to play while you step inside to order. Be sure to save some room for some banana pudding; the locals swear by it! Don't fur-get to bring a leash and your dog's water bowl.
