Don’t go by the name. Not to say anything against the name, it’s a fine name, however when my friend suggested we have lunch there I hesitated. I thought that it was a fast food hot dog place. Not at all. I was so pleasantly surprised that I couldn’t stop raving about it! Not only was it *not* a hot dog stand, it absolutely exceeded my expectations in every way. I’m extremely particular; vegetarian, clean eating, non-alcoholic drinker but desiring of upscale mocktails, de-alcoholized wine, and spirit alternatives. In addition, the restaurant must smell good and be clean. All the boxes we checked and even more; A+++++. My highlight was the hand crafted margarita mocktail that contained Mescal-alternative (non-alc) and adorned with fresh strawberries and micro-sliced mild jalepenõ. Wow! There was a dedicated mocktail category in the menu as well as a dedicatef non-alc category with what they call Sparkling Refreshers; real recipes, not just adult Koolaid like most of the mocktails are (if they even have them at all) at other restaurants. The cheese quesadilla was oustanding; cheese was fresh and tortilla was tasty. Their take on it is just delicious. I’d categorize this delightful restaurant as innovative new-american cuisine with comfortably upscale yet rustic ambiance.

Absolutely loved the food here. The burger was cooked just right and packed with rich flavor that hit every craving. Every bite felt juicy and satisfying. The bowl was just as impressive, with tender chicken and a sauce that tied everything together perfectly. You can really taste the care put into each dish. Would definitely come back again.

Came for brunch and the food was fantastic as always. Kat was great! Highly recommend the chicken biscuits and gravy as it offered a great blend of savory flavors while meeting the expectations of a traditional biscuits and gravy meal.

Great menu, something for everyone. 5:30 Saturday evening, 1.5 hour wait but actually only took about 40 min. Waitstaff was quick and efficient. Expeditors were a bit slow. Food seemed to be backed up in the kitchen but was severe hot and delicious. Will definitely eat here again.

Absolutely obsessed with Lazy Dog – it’s our go-to spot!
We came in on a busy Saturday night and were blown away from start to finish. Our server was an absolute gem – super attentive, funny, and had perfect recommendations (the Campfire Pie cocktail is dangerously good).
The food? Next level. The Bison Meatloaf is hands-down the best meatloaf I’ve ever had – juicy, flavorful, and that mashed potato mountain on top is pure comfort food heaven. My husband got the Peanut Butter Chicken Satay and inhaled it. Even the kids’ menu kept our picky eaters happy too!!
Atmosphere is unreal – those cozy fire pits on the patio with the mountain lodge vibes make you feel like you’re on vacation. Dog-friendly patio is a massive bonus too; our pup got his own water bowl and treats!
Portions are massive, prices are fair, and every single staff member we passed greeted us with a smile. Lazy Dog isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience. Already planning our next visit. 20/10, keep doing what you’re doing!

My and the wife went there for the Valentines dinner we’re you pick from their list. We had the Brussels sprouts and sea bass and apple turnover for dessert. We had a good time and the food was good.

For a Saturday night dinner, it was crazy busy there. Please do a reservation. We were seated late even with a reservation
Aside from the busy, the food was great. Great drink selection. Everyone was happy with their selection. Also lots of choices for every palette.
Kids menu is also available
I’d definitely visit again. May try lunch this time.

Last night was the first time we had been to Lazy Dog. We did not have any reservations but were able to get a table after barely 30 mins or so. Our server Chrissy was really good. When she learned it was our first time – she informed her manager who then offered us chef’s potato chips with barbecue seasoning- on the house just to welcome us. It just made our night so much more special.
We had 2 vegetarian meals (veggie spinach enchilada and hickory smoked fried rice) along with some drinks (loved the tropical mocktail). Each dish was amazing. The drinks were great and the fudge sundae dessert was simply Delicious!!
I would definitely love to visit again. The vibes were great and the food even better.
