We recently had a large corporate event and requested Lost Dog Cafe to cater several sandwich platters. It was a seamless and wonderful experience! Rasha made it so easy to order by being meticulous with details and flexible with last minute changes to our order. They accommodated our dietary requests (no bacon on certain sandwiches, vegetarian options) delivered it on time (thank you to our delivery driver, Liam), and labeled everything to make it easy for us. The food was lovely, and our division meeting went well–full bellies and happy staff.

One small suggestion: if possible, for catering events, it would be great to have an option for packets of mayo, mustard, and other condiments versus condiments in large containers. When serving a large group (80+), it slowed down the lines and got a bit messy with scooping and spreading mayo/mustard from their respective containers. For smaller groups, it’s great! For larger groups, the option for quick grab and go condiments would be nice.

All in all, a fabulous experience. We are regulars and will return in the future. 🙂

First time at Lost Dog Cafe – McLean and we absolutely loved it! Every dish we tried was delicious — full of flavor and made with care. The menu has something for everyone, from fresh sandwiches to satisfying pastas and more.

One of the best parts? It’s dog-friendly! We could relax and enjoy a great meal with our furry friend right by our side. The atmosphere is casual, fun, and welcoming for both people and pups.

Had a great lunch here. The ambience was pleasant and relaxed, making it an enjoyable place to step out for lunch. Our waitress, Franco, was very attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. I had a good time and would definitely come back.

Ordered online delivery and it arrived earlier than expected! The pizza was delicious but badly cut and it was hard to get even slices to share

We love Lost Dog Cafe! We love LOVE their White Cheese Pizza #2, it’s the best white cheese pizza we’ve had, with fontina cheese which very few places will use and garlic butter and the nicest touch of fresh basil to top it. Their dough and crust is consistently good with a great crispy bite and flavor all the times we’ve ordered to go and dined in. Their crab dip has a great crab ratio and the nicest garlicky bread to go with it. We also love their beef chili and when we dine in their mint ice cream and brownie.

Possibly the worst food I ever had in a restaurant.
Even school cafeteria can do better food.
If I could give zero star I could but the service was very friendly and caring thus you earned one star in that Lost Dog Cafe-Mclean!

That nice lady is probably the only reason the restaurant can still do business

Atmosphere :
This restaurant is located next to the Safeway and in the corner of the mall.
Plenty of parking. Overall vibe was run-down and gloomy.

Food :
We were searching for the dog-friendly cafe and I have heard lots of things for Lost Dog Cafe so i had my hopes up – knowing it is a chain too!

We ordered Crab Dog Dip, The fat molly, and Philly philly along with the dog collars (their onion rings). The total without the tip was around $48.18 and boy was it an expensive lesson to never go there.

Crab dip was so oily, could barely spot any crab and it was just a mush of oily, stale cheese.
Garlic bread was dry and tough.
Dog collars were not properly breaded, some burnt, and sauce mediocre. Also overly oily.

Both of the sandwiches were terrible!

The meats in there were so dry and stale it could have passed as a jerky from medieval times. Funky gamey smells from them was a definitely a plus in this incredible dining experience.

Pita bread and baguettes were stale, dry, tough, veggies stale and discolored, and the ingredients were just so underseasoned I thought I was eating a hospital low-sodium patient food.

Interestingly enough, the sandwiches were somehow so oily when we picked it up the oils dripped all over tables and our thighs.

Everything was inedible. My boyfriend and I took maybe one bite of each dish and just left the restaurant because our appetite have plummeted so deep into the ground.

Service:

The only positive thing from this institution. We dined today (sunday) around 2:30pm ish and the nice lady who served us was very cordial and caring. Super welcoming to our dog too. Thank you for your service!

If you have a dog, they provide milk bones and water bowls so if you want to pay almost 50 dollars to sit in the patio and chill with your dogs i guess this is the spot!

Overall, terrible terrible experience.
I should have just gone to subway and sit out in the parking lot. Would have enjoyed that much more since their sandwiches actually taste like food.

A step above your standard workplace cafeteria food.

Convenience > quality. 3.5/5 stars.

If you’re looking for a good-to-great meal, you wont be satisfied here. Instead, you can find solid food for an above average price with a relaxed environment and a standard bar with local beer.

The menu was huge – like 5 full pages of text huge. God help you if you have dyslexia

Got the Bull Dog, which is pretty much a cheesesteak (they had a lot of variations of the same thing). It tasted like the ingredients were perhaps not as fresh as they could have been, but it’s probably because this is a chain restaurant and is limited to the vendors it can get foods from.

Service here was great and very attentive.

One of those places you go to because someone else wanted to!
