First time eating here. I would definitely come back to this place again. Everything we had was absolutely amazing. The fries were extra crispy, with great flavor not soggy. The nuggets for kids were very good, very crunchy. I had the Baja burger, it had a small bite to it from the chili’s but otherwise delicious. The staff was great, courteous, & friendly.

We enjoyed a great dinner at the restaurant. Our experience was pristine the entire time, with a unique vibe that always impresses us. For the appetizer, we had loaded potato hush puppies with a Tapatio crema. She paired these with a white peach sangria. I chose the Chicken Teriyaki bowl with vegetables and rice, while she ordered the Mediterranean chicken bowl from the new $15 Fireside favorites menu, featuring grilled lemon chicken, yellow rice, and Mediterranean sides. Her meal included a s’more brownie sundae. Our waiter, Daniel, was informative and friendly, always checking on our experience.
Lazy Dog offers TV dinners with standout options: BBQ meatloaf with sides, four-cheese baked pasta, roasted turkey breast with gravy and stuffing, cheese enchiladas with rice and beans, fried chicken with gravy and spinach, lemon chicken with yellow rice, and chicken pot pie. Each meal comes with a unique dessert. We have been here many times and will keep returning.

I always love stopping by Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar here in Thousand Oaks when I’m in the area. We had a Trunk or Treat event for the kids nearby, so we figured why not stop in? I ordered from the Build Your Own Lunch menu, which offers smaller, discounted portions of some of their regular items. With this special, you get to pick one entrée, one side, and either a salad or soup. The list of options is fairly short, but I ended up ordering the Walnut Chicken Salad Sandwich with no tomato. It was decent not the best chicken salad I’ve ever had, but it was okay. For my side, I chose the apple cider vinegar coleslaw. I had a bit of an issue with that it was very bland and lacked flavor. The Build Your Own Lunch also includes a soup or salad, so I went with the Caesar salad since I love Caesar salad. The servers here are pretty attentive and check in often to see if you need anything, which I really appreciate. I don’t like having to sit and hope a server comes by again, like at some other places. The ambiance of the restaurant feels like a cozy cabin meets sports bar. The menu has a wide variety of options, so I have no doubt that anyone who visits will find something they like. I’d definitely recommend Lazy Dog to anyone looking for good American comfort food served in a warm, rustic setting. And just like the name suggests, Lazy Dog welcomes dogs, but only on the outdoor patio. I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to return. I love this place.

Love lazy dog. Always a go to for me as they have a wide variety of food on the menu. I have gotten so many things before and they are all delicious. I highly recommend the buffalo cauliflower and the deviled eggs. Not pictured but super delicious! The chicken pot pie, pot roast plate and sandwich, the burgers are also fantastic, again not pictured. What is pictured is the Thai chicken noodles. They have a zesty sauce and come with tofu and shrimp. Also pictured is the Mediterranean chicken bowl and it was very yummy and fresh!
Update- ate here again for a Christmas dinner with friends. Everything was delicious per usual and some updated items on the menu! Got the ahi tuna appetizer, Cobb salad, and pot roast entree. My friends got the salmon and fish and pot roast sandwiches and a burger. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed! Also shared 2 desserts for the table- butter cake and s’mores brownie.

This is by far the best family dining experience I have had in years! Amazing customer service with Emily and Alex and super affordable prices for the portions. We came with all five of our children, and they had hand breaded chicken nuggets, and amazing fish and chips. My husband had the New York steak and it was as good as any high-end Steakhouse, and I had the homemade chicken pot pie, and I’ve never had anything like it! Definitely will be returning.

This was my first time at this establishment, and it will definitely not be my last! As a Canadian, I recognize friendly service, and this establishment absolutely had some of the best friendly service I was able to experience while in the Los Angeles area! On top of that, the food was really tasty, and the atmosphere feels really comfortable! I would highly recommend anyone thinking about coming here especially for supper to certainly consider it!

I had the fettuccine Alfredo with braised beef, and wow—absolutely incredible! This dish is actually a secret off-menu item, and I can confidently say it’s a 9.7/10. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the creamy sauce was rich and flavorful, and the braised beef just melted in my mouth.
The portion was generous, the flavors were balanced, and it felt like a true chef’s special. If you want something beyond the regular menu, I highly recommend asking for this dish—you won’t be disappointed!
Hands down one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be coming back for this again.

Had an awesome experience at Lazy Dog thanks to an amazing server Frank. The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and genuinely great to talk to. The conversation made the meal even more enjoyable, and the food was delicious as always. You can really tell when someone cares about providing great service, and it shows here. Definitely made our visit memorable. Highly recommend!

Dined here the other day and had a great experience ! It was a quiet afternoon before the rain and our server was spot on!
I love all the entrees on their menu! The food is delicious!
I thought the gingerbread kit was a wonderful idea to support charity-buy one for $8 to support charities, folks.
On top of that, my child was asking for one for Christmas and this fit perfectly into our plans.
We had a lovely meal with our friends, were able to sit and relax, and even received our Christmas gifts early (gingerbread kit)
So a million thanks to your server and staff for a positive experience!

We got the ahi bowl,ny steak,candy bacon and fried deviled eggs with huckleberry lemonade and pink lemonade and every single thing we had was DELICIOUS. the green beans could’ve been cooked a little longer but that’s a small thing compared to how wonderful it was and our waitress was great too.
