New England Lobster Market and Eatery is a dog-friendly restaurant in Burlingame on California’s San Francisco Peninsula that’s been serving the Bay Area with fresh Maine lobsters, Dungeness crab, and premium shellfish since 1986. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor patio seating, making it easy to enjoy a serious seafood meal without leaving your dog behind.

The outdoor patio is where you’ll want to settle in. It’s casual and comfortable, the kind of place where your dog can relax beside your table while you work through lobster rolls or fresh oysters. The staff is accustomed to dogs and the atmosphere is genuinely welcoming for dogs of all sizes. Inside, you’ll find long bench-style communal seating tables that add to the New England seafood shack vibe, though dogs stick to the outdoor area.

The menu is a seafood lover’s dream. Every dish showcases the restaurant’s commitment to sourcing the highest quality seafood—live Maine lobsters and Dungeness crabs, mussels, clam chowder, lobster rolls, and fresh oysters. Beyond the eatery itself, the on-site fresh seafood market lets you purchase to-go seafood of all kinds, including live lobsters and crabs to prepare at home.

Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, featuring a dollar off all wine and beer plus discounted tacos, sliders, and more. It’s a great time to stop by with your dog for a relaxed afternoon.

The restaurant is open seven days a week from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, offering plenty of flexibility for fitting a visit into your dog-friendly Peninsula adventures. Burlingame itself is a wonderfully dog-friendly city with pleasant sidewalks, nearby parks, and a vibrant downtown strip perfect for a post-meal stroll. With a 4.5-star Google rating from over 3,200 reviews, this is a well-loved spot among locals and visitors alike. The casual vibe means your dog won’t feel out of place, and the patio faces out onto Cowan Road where you can people-watch between bites.
