My husband and I started coming here this month a lot - we loved it so much we decided to try it with our two kids. This was a big deal for us since our son has autism and hasn’t been to a restaurant since he was 2, so it took a lot of preparation to make this outing possible. I don’t like to leave bad reviews about servers because I’ve managed restaurants very similar to Lazy Dog and I know how difficult it can be to staff. But our server, I think his name was Tony, really needs some help and I hope we never have him again. We sat against the wall opposite to the bar in the closest half circle booth to the kitchen side for a 2:30 reservation. He got our drink order wrong, took 20 minutes to deliver all but one, another 10 minutes for the last drink, forgot about our box request and we heard him tel mgmt from afar that our table was “done” when we were not. He kinda argued with me about the missing drink. He even told us at the end that we could take the in house kids cups since there were no to go kids cups, but then quickly said not to do that because it’s company property. Of course we didn’t take them, my daughter would’ve liked to be able to finish her drink but we had to jet out of there because my son with autism reached his limit publicly. I will say at the end he was not as aloof but I think that was just because his shift was ending and he wanted to close out his tables, we could feel it in the rushed way he talked to us and the attitude he had. Overall he was either not having a good day or needs more practice working with people. If we have a server like him next time we will find another restaurant as he created the bumps in what should have been a smooth outing for our son with autism.

Absolutely Amazing The art around the restaurant is so unique and beautiful. I love the stone walls and wood pieces inside, the decor of this place is too cute. We waited about 10 minutes after putting our names on the list(no reservation). There’s a patio/ outdoor seating you can bring your dogs and enjoy the yummy food and good vibes together. Our server was Great! She brought waffle chips for us to try which were interesting, it gave me homemade Lays chips vibes. We weren’t sure which wine to order so she thankfully brought out the house red and another to try. House wine was yummy The Non alcoholic drink was Soo good! My daughter enjoyed the chicken nuggets and she’s a picky eater ! The meatloaf was Soo delicious and my mom had the ribs and described them as “unlike any other ribs I’ve had before! I want to savor this I can’t rush and eat it!” The deviled eggs were Soo surprisingly delicious!!! Great Service Good Vibes and even better food

They do NOT have crayons for the kids to color on the menu. But our server found a few pens and markers for my kiddo Nice kids menu though and yummy drinks (strawberry lemonade etc)

First time dining here tonight. The atmosphere of the outdoor dining was beautiful. We sat on the patio by the firepit which was burning. The server was very nice and quick, I love how familiar she was with the menu and asked if it was our first time dining at the restaurant. She explained that the highlighted entrées were favorites and the items that had underlines were items that were spicy. That was important information because the menu is very large. Okay so I ordered the Bison Meatloaf which was AMAZING!! The meat was very tender, it was served with all-natural durham ranch grass-raised wyoming bison, smoked bacon, red skin potato mash, sautéed spinach, and haystack onions ( menu description for accuracy) THE TASTE OMG!!! I could not stop shaking my head, it was breathe taking. I also ordered the Coconut Pineapple Agua Fresca. Very good. Overall definitely come and check this out. You won't be disappointed.

My family and I came here for lunch on a Sunday. It wasn't very busy, we didn't have to wait to be seated. Ambience/Service: I love the restaurant, it wasn't super bright or too loud. The servers were amazing, attentive and recommended good dishes. 5/5 Food: My family loved their Campfire pot roast. The meat melted in your mouth, it was delicious and so was the mashed potatoes underneath. 5/5 The chicken cordon bleu was so thinly sliced but the frying made it extra crunchy and delicious. It was probably our favorite dish out of everything we ordered. 1000/5! The soy glazed salmon tasted off. The "soy glazed" was just teriyaki sauce and the sweetness of it threw our taste buds off. The rice was also a bit dry. We weren't a fan of this dish. 3/5 Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant. We even ordered 6 TV dinner home. It's a good spot for lunch.

Parking: slightly difficult, we came on a Sunday so there were many spots filled up. We had to circle around the lot a bit despite the lot being quite large but eventually found parking closer to Marshalls than the restaurant but it's a quick step.

Came here just before mid day and it was already getting quite busy. The service was fast and I didn’t see anyone waiting too long for their food. I ended up getting the Sweet Potato tots with a jalapeño aioli as a small starter along with the Chicken Katsu Sandwich with a side of pickled cucumber and a Golden Road Mango Cart Wheat ale. The tots were nice and hot and the aioli had a good kick to it. The chicken sandwich was surprisingly small, coming with just three sliced portions but it tasted great and balanced really well with the pickled cucumbers. I am normally a cider or wine drinker but the mango wheat ale had great flavor to it. Overall, great food, speedy service and a nice open atmosphere. I definitely recommend coming here, especially for lunch as it wasn’t too loud but still felt lively.

The restaurant is located in a major shopping area so there is always parking. However be aware the parking spots are tight.

We went in for happy hour. I called prior to arrival to confirm happy hour times, 3 to 6. Perfect, we arrived at 3:30. When we got to the hostess I asked if they had happy hour menus and she told me the waiter would get them for us. I explained we were very happy that we were able to make it for happy hour. She walked us to a booth. Almost a half hour past before I was able to talk to the waiter who informed me that happy hour was only available at the bar. During our waiting time the bar had filled up and they could not accommodate my Party of Five. We ended up paying full price on the oldest trick in the book, The bait and switch. On top of which, my burger was supposed to have double patties but only had one and my friends meal did not have the correct portions and three plates had to be sent back. The waiter never came back and checked on us so we had to hurry and eat what we were given. The service was poor at best. I spent over $130 for the five of us because we had another pressing engagement. I don't think I'll be back.

I was given a concussion by an intoxicated off duty server at dinner. He was drinking at the bar and was gesticulating wildly while talking about how drunk he was about some tinder woman he had just…met up with a hall we say; he struck me in the back of the head with I assume an elbow, my fiancée saw it. I was a bit foggy due to said concussion (I’m a physician so I recognized the signs) we left abruptly, forgot the pot pies we had ordered to go, and when I tried to get a refund I was met with suspicion of fraud by the manager. She never called back when I suggested they save the security footage. Our waitress that night was awesome and this in no way reflects on her. She saw the incident and brought me ice for my head and comped some of our food, she was the only saving grace in the situation, so thankk you Concussion effects can be recurrent and long lasting, I spent that next 24 hours being monitored just in case.

This is the first time I've heard of this restaurant. I'm a dog lover, so I felt right at home. With everything dog themed I was loving the place. This restaurant even let's you bring you furry friend with you, you have to sit in the outside porch area though. The atmosphere of the place is very energetic and loud. There is music playing and a lot of people talking. In the bar area they have the TV's going too. I was there with a large group (about 14 people) and the service was great. We had the bacon, fried deviled eggs and hush pupies appetizers. All tree are delicious they had good taste, they won't disappoint. Most of the food came out at the same time except for two people but they did get comps like a glass of wine and I think a discount for some of the food. I ordered the Alaskan Halibut with Brussels sprouts and cherry tomatoes. It is by far the best fish I've had hands down. I also had the cucumber, lemon and thyme drink it was so good and refreshing. I loved my experience at the Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar. I highly recommend it.

Wow! Where do I start. First off make reservations as this place is super busy. The food is amazing! A place we will be going back to. The menu items a reasonably priced. We had Fish Taco’s, Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken, a Child’s Hamburger, Bacon Burger, Tex Mex Salad, and Cheese Curds. Everyone really liked what they ordered. Our waitress was super friendly and very attentive. I would highly recommend checking out this restaurant.

The service saved the day! I wish I could say the food was anywhere as good as the service, but unfortunately, it is not. So I'll save that for last. The Hostess was a joy, especially after she knew we had just finished a 5k. She shared how her Mom was training for the NYC Marathon! Our server, Britney, was kind, attentive, and sweet. She made sure we had everything we needed. But that food...out of the 5 entrees we ordered, only 1 was finished at the table, and the others either bagged to go or left. And we were with 3 hearty esters! The food was bland, and all the sauces Britney brought to the table couldn't help it. The food was simply ungood. Unfortunately, I can't say I'd go back anytime soon for the food, but maybe for drinks and snacks.

I arrived just before midday, and the place was already bustling with activity. The service was prompt, and patrons didn't seem to wait long for their orders. For starters, I opted for the Sweet Potato tots with jalapeño aioli, and as my main, the Chicken Katsu Sandwich with a side of pickled cucumber, complemented by a Golden Road Mango Cart Wheat ale. The tots were served piping hot, and the aioli provided a satisfying kick. While the chicken sandwich appeared small with three slices, it tasted delightful and paired well with the pickled cucumbers. Despite being more inclined towards cider or wine, I found the mango wheat ale to be flavorful. In summary, the experience offered great food, efficient service, and a pleasant open atmosphere. I highly recommend a visit, particularly for lunch, as it struck a balance between vibrancy and a manageable noise level. Parking: The restaurant is situated in a major shopping area, ensuring ample parking. However, note that parking spaces can be tight.

Growing chain restaurant with a big menu that will satisfy any taste bud out there. This is the 5th restaurant of the chain we have tried. Other than some slight layout and minor decore changes, you will right at home. Both the pot roast sandwich and best balls were on point to the other restaurant we have been to. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick. It's always a great dining experience at lazy dog.

Just moved here and have already been to this restaurant 3 times the food has been SO good it just keeps bringing us back! Service both dining in and utilizing the drive up option has been fantastic. Some of the foods we’ve tried have been the Chicken Katsu Road-trip Bowl, Pot Roast Beef Dip (a staple order, regretfully not pictured), Dirty Dog (a surprising favorite ), Thai Noodles (will absolutely order again- packed full with its shrimp, tofu, and chicken- so good!), Buffalo chicken nuggets, umami fries (so good, but recommend asking for the sauce on the side it can be a little overwhelming when it’s drenched on the fries!), and their frescas/ lemonades! You really can’t go wrong with almost anything you order from our experience, absolutely recommend for quick lunches or sit down dinners!

I love this place.  People can sit out on the patio and eat out with their pets.  So if you need food and a puppy fix this is a great place to go.  If you walk inside it has a lodge feel with stone pillars and bars, and dark wood beams.The food is good too, plenty of diverse salads, good quality burgers and entrees.  I've tried their nachos, which is enough food for 3 people, tex mex salad, meat loaf, BBQ ranch burger, and tortilla soup.  Plenty of large tvs for the sports watchers in your party.  They close as late as midnight and have movie + dinner specials as well. The bartenders and waiters have always been nice to me. Follow me for more suggestions on where to eat in multiple cities in 10 states!

We go in regularly, hoping for that 5 star service that we were used to in temecula.. the MV LD just isn't it. As beer club members, we go to use the perks, mostly, at this point. The food is very hit or miss. We have had more bad service than good. And the atmosphere really bums me out. It's like jumping through hoops to order. They won't allow this substitute, even though we always get it... or even now, you can't mix beers on the sampler? All new (informed before we told them we were beer club, that we weren't even ALLOWED to have them unless we were members, like what?!) We could only have from the regular rotation list. What's the point of a sampler, if you've already had all of them?

I’m such a big fan of Lazy Dog! I was visiting San Diego for work and when I realized my hotel was across the street, I need I had to go. We started with my favorite appetizer - the hush puppies with extra crema of course. My coworker got the black and blue burger and he loved it - you must love blue cheese so keep that in mind. I got the kung pao shrimp with their white rice. As always, their sauce is so good and always well cooked. The rice was a bit dry but just had to make sure I added some sauce and their teriyaki to moisten it. Special of the month was a watermelon margarita that we may have had a couple too many. Always so good and such great service. I’m sooo looking forward to them opening one in Austin sometime in the near future.

Let me start with the ambience it was really good. What catched my attention was that this place is dog friendly, and they have a special menu for them. We went there during happy hours. Their menu for happy hours is really good both for food and drink. Our waitress was really helpful and attentive. The food was amazing, and the portion size was also good. We ordered mediterranean trio, Chipotle chicken quesadilla, thai noodles, and Curry chicken. The first 3 were really good, but curry chicken I felt was average. It's definitely a must visit place.

This was a great dining experience. Everything we had was delicious, super flavorful. I started with the fried deviled eggs, and my main course was the BBQ bacon burger with Cajun fries. It was amazing. I could have gone back and gotten more the next day! My husband got the chicken quesadilla to start, and the bison meatloaf he said it was one of the best meals he had in a long while. For dessert, we settled on the banana pudding and apple pie. Again, they did not disappoint. My husband did say the pudding was a bit much, but he said it would be good for someone who likes pudding.

Loved Lazy Dog so much we went twice in two days. It's a large restaurant with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is prioritized for people with dogs. The kid's portions are large with just as much quality as adult entrees, but with simplified flavors for young tastes (kids chicken teriyaki was a favorite). The burgers were great, but the real star was the bowls. The Chicken Katsu bowl and Korean Bibimbap bowl were a great size, fresh, and what brought us back the next day. Service was a bit slow and scattered the first day, but was fine the second time around.

We came in on a whim and can't say enough great things about this restaurant. First off, our waitress, who I unfortunately forgot her name was amazing. She was atentive and had all the right answers. She was extremely sweet to our 5 year old who was playing with his hot wheels cars. Her recommendations on food were spot on. We had the BBQ meatloaf, cheeseburger, and Baja burger. All were absolutely cooked to perfection. We had one hiccup during dinner that the manager immediately came out and addressed quickly and professionally. Unfortunately, we don't live in California or would certainly be back to try more of the food. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for an amazing meal!!!

Great dinner experience last night! We had to wait 30 minutes to get a table, but were seated next to a beautiful roaring fire pit. Perfect for a colder winter night. There were also outdoor heaters at the other tables. I had the sangria taster (raspberry rose, white peach, pomegranate red). My friend had the smoked maple bacon old fashion. We ordered the brussel sprouts which were very unique and tasty, the wings which were crisp and served with several dipping choices, and the chipotle chicken quesadilla that looked like pizza slices but tasted like quesadillas. The food, drinks, outside dining area, cleanliness during covid and staff were all wonderful and top-notch. Highly recommend, and I will be back.

Delicious food and great service! Everything is dog themed and the vibe generally excellent but I'm striking off a point since the booth seating we received wasn't clean enough to our liking. We tried the Buffalo Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts and the Falafel + Hummus road trip bowls. All of them were really tasty!

It was worth the drive from our ocean front stay. My husband said the Bison meatloaf was the best he's ever had, so that warranted him the silent treatment for a few seconds, because I thought I made the best meatloaf. Then I tried it and it was pretty darn good. I was curious about their Pahd Thai, and that was pretty darn close to what I make, they did not skimp on the shrimp! Their calamari could be a meal on its own, very different from the boring fried surf and turf style. Best Old Fashion, we've ever had! We had a great first experience! Our service was perfect!

Because of the location of the restaurant, finding a parking spot can be a slight challenge, but it's not the worst. Also, the parking spots a kind of small.

I forgot to ask for the waiters name but she was lovely and gave wonderful service. I was with my sister and her dog and we ordered food for the dog to share. And they already split the food in two separate bowls for our dogs without us asking. I thought that was a lovely gesture to do. We also ordered a burger to share and they had it sliced in half and split in two for us as well. We just didn't expect them to do that all without us asking but because we mentioned it they went ahead and did it for us. Not only was the service amazing here but the food was delicious.

Sweet potato tats were delicious and naturally sweet, edamame were so flavorful the best I ever tasted, the smokiness and seasoning had me at first pop. Also, had the chicken wraps, the chicken had good flavor but was a bit dry. The Hamburger was just ok. The server was great and smiled the whole time.

Absolutely the worst server we had tonight! No personality whatsoever. Never smiled, mumbled her greeting, didn't say thank nor thanked us for dining tonight as we passed her leaving the restaurant. Never asked if we wanted any refills on our drinks, just really a bad server. if you want to get a good tip, give good SERVICE! Also, the food sucked, lukewarm, guessing based on our server, the food sat in the kitchen and cooled off immensely. Tea if you read this review, gotta step up your server game!

The good: wait staff super friendly and prompt. They were on point about refills and about food placing orders. The restaurant is nice atmosphere. Game day TV.s but also not loud music good place for a date. Goats cheese and butter cake on point. My date got bison meatloaf it was good and so was the soup. 5 star The bad: ribs were not as good as they could have been, They are clearly frozen. The floor in the restaurant was laminate and I almost fell in high heels. 4 stars The ugly: there was a short wait with half the dinning available and also the bathroo. Were not as up kept as possible. 4 stars Overall I would go back.

Our friend suggested us to give it a try as she loves their happy hour . We came in for dinner . Food was delicious. I got the beet balls with squash or zucchini pasta and it was amazing! My husband had the fried chicken dinner and he liked it as well . The sangria sampler they offer looked very cute . I personally enjoyed the white sangria the most . Good service . Nice atmosphere. The only minus was the hostess . Those two poor people looked so unhappy standing there . Not very welcoming and were not in a real rush to sit us , but we forgot about it as soon as we got the food and drinks . Would be back again for sure .

I had a blood orange beer to compliment the lemon grilled chicken dish. The food was incredible! Two thinly slices grilled chicken breasts with cauliflower mash and crisp green beans topped with sliced almonds. Everything was amazing. The atmosphere is relaxed. All-in-all, this establishment is perfect for brunch, lunch or dinner. The menu has many options from soups & salads to burgers to chicken and much more! The price is excellent compared to restaurant of a much lower caliber!

Had a great time at Lazy Dog with my friends and our dogs. It didn't take more than 10 minutes for us to get seated. The food was delicious and our server was very nice. I really liked how dogs are allowed to hang outside with their owners. They have a chicken and rice meal on the menu available for you to order for your dog.

The service was a bit slow for 2:30PM & the restaurant not being full. However, the food was tasty and nicely presented. We really liked the dishes on which our food was served--which matched nicely and was uniquely different from other restaurants. The tortilla soup was very good. I also had the chicken parmigiana with a green salad. A little more sauce with the noodles would have been better so it was not quite as dry. The vinaigrette blue dressing on my salad was very nice. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was relaxing with good vibes. I would definitely return and recommend the Lazy Dog.

Great location, but busy in the shopping area. Parking was a scarce commodity. We were greeted and seated right away. Due to the time of day, service was a bit slower than at peak mealtimes. We had a lovely server who took great care of us. The food was great as always. I split a banana pudding for dessert with my son and we both loved it. We are huge Lazy Dog fans and happy to see that the quality, service, and atmosphere is great from location to location.

I hate to write. It so pleasant reviews but not one thing I ordered was up to snuff. (The tortilla soup was barely warm, the queso was not what I expensed and the chicken pot pie looked good, but tasted so odd, I stopped at 4 bites and left it there). Could have just been that day. On the plus side, it’s conveniently located, the service itself was good and we had a larger party that they accommodated fairly quickly. The bar is cool and while I’m not a fan of dining with animals, you can bring your dog. May repeat but just for drinks. #chickenpotpie #dogfriendly #missionvalley

It was great, my pup and I were seated right away, they brought a water bowl for him along with water for me. Our server was attentive. The sun came out a lil fierce and I had asked for the umbrella to be opened and they obliged with no hesitance. Food was delicious, was hoping to have brunch but I should've checked that it was only on weekends, but still had good food and service. Will come back for brunch

Why do the servers keep taking our plates away when there’s still food on it. At least ask before taking it away. It’s happened two times in a row where the server sneakily comes and takes our plates away while my partner and I are in deep conversation. If I’m paying these high prices for food, ASK us first before taking out plates away. So annoying. Other than the poor service from the big girl with dark hair, the food is decent.

First time here and would definitely come back. We came for a late night dinner at one of the few places open after 10pm. Our food was great (Cobb salad and pot roast were thoroughly enjoyed!) and our waitress was very attentive. Only 2 things prevented me from giving 5 stars. 1) I'd like to come back to ensure consistency, and 2) Our food did take some time to come out. Nothing really long but long enough to start wondering where our food was.

Great atmosphere and even better food! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious!! Had the fried deviled eggs, cheese curds, bison meatloaf, chicken sando, butter cake and chocolate mousse. Everything was plated beautifully and tasted phenomenal. Restaurant is nicely decorated with a rustic feel. Service was great. They also had mocktails which made my night!

I really enjoyed the food here. I had a PB&J cheese burger. I never thought PB would go well with a burger but it was amazing! They also love bacon at this restraunt, it's on everything. The environment was homey and comfortable, not too formal, not too casual. The art is unique and intriguing. Bathrooms we're clean and tidy. Management and staff were friendly and accommodating. Wait time was non existent and the place was not crowded. This would be a great place for a casual night out or maybe a second date. 5/5 would eat again.

Similar to a Chili's or Fridays in price and quality, but with a canine theme. Got the BBQ burger. It was a good size and had a good presentation. I ordered it medium rare, but received well done. The patty was blackened on one side to point of tasting the char in every bite instead of the bacon and cheddar. We were on our lunch break from work, so there was no time to send it back and wait for a replacement. Our waitress was assigned so many tables, she had no time to stop by to ask if we were satisfied with our orders.

Met with a dozen coworkers at the Lazy Dog yesterday for lunch. I had the fish tacos and they were fantastic!! I'm a fisherman and know what good fish tacos taste like and I'm telling you these tacos were as good as any I've ever made myself! I asked what kind of fish it was and was told that it was pollock. Try it for yourself and see what you think.

Ordered PB&J Burger with Ranch and Alfredo Pasta for Lunch with a Coworker. They packaged the ranch in the Alfredo Pasta. The serving size was small for $25 Alfredo Pasta. Poured the white sauce on top only realizing after it was ranch not Alfredo Sauce. Why put ranch sauce in with the Pasta and not the Burger? Never buying here again. For McDonald’s service and small portions.

I had the Chicken parm, it was great except they made the chicken the star of the dish and didn't give the noodles as much attention. Overall 8/10

First time here and the waiter suggested the chicken cordon blue. Breaded chicken breast was overcooked, dry and rather bland. Waiter later asked how it was and gave my honest opinion. He simply accepted it and gave me my check which came out to $33 with beer. Normally when one is not completely satisfied with a meal, a manager would visit, but not here. I won’t be back. Don’t let the photos fool you as it looks better than it taste.

The waiter was helpful, fast, and kind. Explained the dishes very well. The Korean bowl was the best. All the other dishes were good, but not our favorite. It was lunch, so seating was available. Heat lamps on the patio made outside dining comfortable. Would recommend, though it is a little price forward.

I actually like this place today we went there to celebrate a late Christmas. Service was good and friendly. The food on the other hand was not up to par as my chicken sandwich was over spiced on spots as I could taste the granules in certain spots of the chicken the fries were over cooked and no seasoning. My friend had the tortilla soup and it came out luke warm and the tortilla crisps tasted stale. Hope next time it is better.

I came here by myself and it was a very pleasant dining experience. I ordered a burger and it was delicious! It wasn't just a slice of meat, but a thick fire grilled, seasoned steak burger that retained its juices and tenderness, even after being cooked well done. The flavor wasn't only ground pepper and salt, but actually seasoned. The sauce paired with it was perfectly complimented, and I had their sweet potato bites, which was a nice phase breaker. I highly recommend this place.

Was in town for work and went solo. So glad I stopped in. Great vibe, great service, great menu, and the meal was unbelievable. They had pot roast on the menu so I had to try it. If you're a pot roast person, then you have to try it here. It was fabulous. I also had the chicken tortilla soup and that was delicious too.

Came in on Sunday afternoon, it was busy-ish but we didn’t have to wait for the table, just 2 of us. Service was great and food came out fast. We also had some food to go which was handed to us as soon as we paid for the food. Burgers were amazing, great size portions, was fresh and tasty. And the menu is endless! Sooo many different options! Definitely highly recommended and definitely will be back!

This is a loud place that does allow kids. However, happy hour is not available at the regular tables only at the bar.

Loved the service. Very friendly atmosphere. They do cater to our fur babies. We didn't like that we couldn't eat inside and our pets had to be taken outside. Due to Health Department regulations, but, we were able to walk through the restaurant with our pet to go outside! Huh! However, it was a very nice day out! FYI: Check your glasses and dishes as they are sometimes not well washed.

Saw the mostly decent reviews and wanted a local beer so took a chance. Loved it. The food was excellent and the service even better. Hopefully you get Hooper as your server. He made some excellent recommendations and took the time out to give us some advice on what to do in the area. One of the best servers around and he single handedly took this review to 5 stars. Definitely recommend

Burned my mouth a bit but I’m not complaining the food was very fresh. My dog also enjoyed 2 servings of the grilled hamburger patty with brown rice meals.

The food was good, a bit more on the pricey side if going by yourself. The Brussel sprouts were solid but not the best I've had and the burger was honestly really good. The main highlight of the review though is the Blueberry + Lemon cocktail they have which was impeccable! I would go back for that drink alone time and time again.

When to Lazy Dog's for Mother's day. They weren't having a brunch or anything, so we eat from the regular menu. The atmosphere was electric, a lot of young people having a good time. The service was good and the food was exceptional. We had the ribs, pulled pork, flat-iron steak and chicken sandwich. The prices were reasonable and we highly recommend you visit. We gave them 4 stars out of 5, because there is always room to improve. Great experience!!!

Our waitress was great, very attentive. Sorry, forgot her name (she's a redhead). Food was good. Love the Brussels Sprout and the Bacon Candy. Wish they had panko for their Fish and Chips.

The service is fantastic and the food is sooooo good! The pot roast has so far been my favorite, but the grilled chicken and mashed cauliflower is a very close second. I don't drink alcohol drinks, so my best advice on drinks here would be the Jamaican lemonade because it is loaded with flavor!

First time coming here as I live out of state. The staff was friendly we only waited for a table for 20 minutes on a Saturday night so that was nice. Decor is very nice I gave this restaurant a 4 out of 5 stars due to my brother in law was served a drink in a broken glass. They did replace the drink but the woman(not my waitress) was a little rude about it. Other than that I had no complaints.

Very impressed with how well they are following reopening guidelines. Every person I saw, employees and guests, all were in compliance. Or waiter was fabulous. Very knowledgeable about the food and very attentive to drink refills etc. We haven't been to Lacy Dog before so can't compare the food to prior visits. I enjoyed my meal but it wasn't as flavorful as I would have expected. Well go back again for sure though!

There were three of us and three dogs. Waitress was nice and provided water for the pups.....she offered before we could even ask....love that! I ordered Thai Chicken Salad and it was fresh and tasty. My friends and I shared the waitress' dessert recommendation of butter cake which was delicious; the cake was hot and the cold ice cream was a good pairing. For my first time there, it was a great experience!

The servers are always nice and attentive. The food is great. The Bacon Candy is a must try! They have good appetizers and small plates and are enough to share or make a meal. They have seasonal items on their menu, so there is always something new to try. I've never had a bad dish here.

Dome of the worst and odd food pairings I've ever seen. I ordered salmon and had to send it back for being cold and over cooked and just plain nasty. They tried to cover up the horrible fish with a God awful sweet sauce that was brush on and ot wermed after being put on cold. Steer clear of this place. Not worth the high cost

Exceptional food, drinks, and atmosphere. We got the dirty dog, bacon candy (best bacon I've ever had by the way), cheese curds, crispy wings, shrimp and banana pudding. All top notch. The hibiscus margarita also hit a nice spot too. I'm not from around here, but if I was I'd be a regular. Any chance I can sneak back a bucket of that bacon to jersey?

Not a terrible place to eat if you have had a long day or just need to grab food for the family. Good quality has gone done downhill the past few years and the service is okay. Friendly staff just not very attentive.

Sheila is AWESOME! She was so fun and friendly. The only reason for a 3 on the food is because not a lot of options for people who don't eat meat, and yes, chicken is meat. Otherwise great place!

Very nice atmosphere, and the staff were very chill. Absolutely loved the décor, and how everything seems to have a “comfortable” style. I ordered the house club and pineapple mojito, and absolutely loved them. 10/10 would come here again.

Fish tacos we're superb. The Ahi tuna salad tasty. You only average thing what's the deviled eggs. Overall definitely worth returning.

Came for their brunch, tried their breakfast burrito and the Chicken and Biscuits. Probably wouldn’t get the chicken and biscuits again as even thought the biscuits were amazing there was just too much of them for our liking.
