Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar

Amazing, I love happy hours at any restaurant. This place was perfect for a get together of old co workers and I. Best drinks and finger foods I’ve had in months. I’m coming back! …even if it’s just me, by myself lol

My family of 8 was very well taken care of on the Saturday before Father’s Day by the Manager Andrew Sytten. He went out of his way on a busy evening to see that we had a nice dinner. The food was darn good — especially the Butter Cake, and we all agreed that Andrew is the reason we’ll all go back!

This is the 2^nd time I have been to this Lazy Dog. It started off with an Amber lazy dog beer then to our table outside. I like the outside better then inside cause it’s quieter and the weather was perfect. Our wait staff (Zack) was quick and friendly. Manager Andrew even came by to greet us and offer recommendations. The food was delicious and fresh. We had a few appetizers corn Wheels artichoke dip and a quesadilla! I had a unique dish the bison Meatloaf with bacon! Then dessert, wow the butter bread with ice cream on top was loved by all. Manager Andrew checked in with us throughout as he recommended the dessert. It was a great time for my family and will be back to see Andrew and Zack!

Still shitty. This time it was the hosts. 2 teeny bopper boys with what I assume they think are funny attitudes. My family member had just been seated when I arrived. Not 10 minutes prior, not a half hr prior-​like a minute before. I know because they texted me so. I walked up and asked if they seated my family member-​was trying to give a description when the Niall Horan one interrupted me and said «you can go look for them». Well Niall, I have a young child with me and the restaurant is busy, so I don’t really want to traipse all through the narrow isles, trying to avoid running into a server or busser while dragging a kid behind me, if I can help it. I ask-«do you remember JUST seating someone by themselves?» The restaurant is filled with parties of 2+, I imagine seating someone solo might be something that sticks out in a hosts mine in this situation. Then the teenage Mowgli interrupts me and says «we seat a lot of people». Oh you don’t say?! Well go figure-that’s why I’m here.
I realize I wrote this with some sarcasm but in all actuality, that kind of attitude is not ok with people who are your first interaction in the restaurant. You boys are not funny or cute-​talking that way to a customer who was just looking for some simple assistance with what it is you’re PAID TO BE DOING, is unacceptable. I’ve been on the receiving end of scary vitriol from customers (banking background), and still had to keep my cool. Get over yourselves. Hopefully corporate sees these and can try to get the apathetic manager or asst manager to get the staff in order.

It had been a long day and our party of five were absolutely famished and couldn’t make up our minds about where to dine. We finally settled on Lazy Dog Restaurant and were extremely excited to find that there was no wait for a table when we walked through the front doors and checked in with the host.
Our server had us set up with drinks within three minutes of us being seated and he also brought out the ‘Free Cajun Fries’ the establishment gives those of us who check-​in with Unilocal whilst inside the restaurant. I must admit I was expecting a small portion of scabby/​weird fries but these were incredible! So flavourful, perfectly fried and large portion size! So yes– make sure you redeem that offer!
I found ordering difficult as there were so many delicious options to choose from, I changed my mind three times and ended up ordering the Ahi Tuna with Coconut Curry Sauce (mainly because it claimed to only have 490 calories…). It was really, really good– much better than I expected from this style of restaurant chain! I was kind of hoping my plate would magically regenerate my food once it had finished so I could eat it all over again! My only gripe was that the fish was a little on the dry side but the sauce more than made up for it.

First timer at Lazy Dog!
Came during the peak of dinner time, but didn’t have to wait too long, 15 – 30 min. Sat down and the service was a bit slow but was expected at this time. Ordered drink and appetizers and a pizza.
We ordered the sweet potato tatter tots, loaded hush puppies, turkey meatball and black and blue pizza. Food came out all at once and was hot and fresh.
We got the sangria sampler, our favorite was the white peach which we highly suggest.
The pizza was delicious although we thought it was a bit tough and too crispy on the bottom it didn’t really bother us. In the middle of eating the manager Jesse brought out another pizza to apologize for the over cooked pizza which we thought was fine! He told us they take high quality of their food and what they put out. So, that was very thoughtful of them.
We are more than happy to come back when we’re in the area. Props to our server Randell and the manager Jesse!

I love this place! It’s great for a date, a game with your friends or a big group for work. The food is great and the drinks are delicious. You can bring your puppy if they are well behaved and keep them with you outside!
I have had only one bad experience here, sitting in the bar area, the server we had was very slow and inattentive. We got our appetizer and dinner at the same time and unfortunately our pizza came out cold. Fortunately we weren’t hungry at that point, after waiting 30 minutes for 3 items, we paid and left.
Only other thing is their wait time and ability to turn tables. Quite often during peak hours, waits can be anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Good news is front of house is honest about the wait times.
The butter cake is delicious and I’ll always get the ahi poke! Black and blue burger or pizza will never do you wrong. The White peach sangria too. So many yummy things! Definitely will keep going back.

Excellent. Great food and atmosphere. As most places that are good, it may take some time to be seated on a weekend depending on the time and size of the party but it’s worth the wait and tables seem to turn quickly. Great variety on the menu and everything looked good. Spacious bar with lots of flat screens and open fire pits makes this place great.
We ordered lots of appetizers and called it good because they were all wonderful. Great place in the area for a good variety and a fun atmosphere.

On this visit, I was with my family celebrating my nephew’s graduation/​promotion. Our party had 13 people, and I have to say the wait staff did a wonderful job of taking our orders and being attentive.
I have never had a problem with Lazy Dog Restaurant, they have decent size portions, their prices are affordable and their desserts are really good. There was more than enough food, appetizers, our main courses, and desserts. It was quite the celebration.
The Bar area is huge, great for watching sports games, they have plenty of large screens, so even if you’re not seated in the Bar area you can be watching from where you’re sitting for dinner.
I ordered the chicken piccata, unfortunately, I wasn’t very happy with what I ordered, I have had better. Now I know better to not order that dish.
This location of Lazy Dog is located in a huge shopping center too, parking can be a little bit of a pain during the peak hours and holidays. But I would return to Lazy Dog Restaurant.

The service was great, a ten minute wait to be seated and our waiter was super patient and helpful. The three cheese and basil pizza was a little soggy, but the sweet potato tater tots were excellent.

Came here for the first time the other day. Love the dog theme. Took advantage of the Unilocal check in free Cajun fries offer but the bonus was the manager showed up at our table after we ordered, said he had heard it was our first time there and sent complementary Flatbread to our table.
Service and food was great, loved the atmosphere and though we sat inside this visit, the outdoor patio looked very inviting.

So babe and I were doing our date night thing, and we were looking for somewhere to eat before our movie. We pulled into the Hacienda plaza and saw Lazy Dog right on the corner. Neither of us had ever been, but the outside patio looked really neat so we decided to give it a chance. When we first walked in the lobby was full, there was a lot of people waiting to be seated. We proceeded to checkin with the host and she let us know the bar was open seating, but we should get on the list.
I ran to the bathroom, which end up being a 15 minute trip because there were only 3 stalls. That’s usually not a big deal, but I had to pee like a racing horse and all the ladies in front of me were grannies, lol.
On my way back from the restroom I spotted to seats at the bar. I went to get babe and we made our way back to the bar. Once we sat down we were immediately greeted and handed menus, I didn’t catch our servers name but she was great.
I’m on a diet so I was looking for a nice salad to have, and to my suprise that have a fully loaded salad menu! I ordered the Cobb salad and the sangria sampler and babe ordered a cheese burger and ceaser salad. When I checked in on Unilocal they had a free cajun fry check in which was cool for babe.
Once the Sangria sampler came we tasted each one, pomegrate, peach, and rasberry, we like everything but the pomegranate it was a lilttle tart. I struck up a convo with one of the guys behind the bar named Adrian, he started giving us the history of the place, and little fun facts which was really nice. He asked how we liked the sampler and we told him our 2 cents about the pomegranate one, and guess what, he exchanged it for another Raspberry. I was so suprised because that’s what samplers are for so you can find out what u like, but if you don’t like it you’ll know for next time. Later on he told us he was the GM of the restraunt and we told him we’d definitely be back.
So the cobb salad was amazing presentation was on point and it was super filling. I actually had some left over which I’ll be eatting for lunch, lol. While we’re finishing up our meal another waiter stops by and asked us how everything was, we told him this was our 1^st time and we’d be back. He offered to buy us a Butter cake and he said he was the best thing on the menu. So next thing you know this strawberry shortcakr dish comess out witb ice cream on top. It was sooooo delicious. Thank you Andrew! We had a great night and well be back.

My friends and I had lunch here recently and had a good meal. I got there early and the place was already packed. I guess they do brunch so a lot of people were there for that. Luckily I was able to secure a table and wait for my friends. The waiter was attentive and came by often to check on me while I waited.
For entrees, I had the chimichurri mahi mahi on the Nutritious and Delicious menu. It was very flavorful, lots of good veggies and beans. The fish was cooked nicely. My friends had the grilled garlic flatbread & marinara and the walnut chicken salad sandwich. Both liked their meals.
This is a great place if you want lots of options. Good food, looks like a good bar scene too. I am sure we will be back as we shop often at this shopping center.

Spent My very first Mother’s Day here and had such a great experience. Everyone here greeted us with such a warm smile along with such great service. All four of us ordered the BBQ Ribs. 3 of the ribs was Sticky Ribs and I ordered the regular BBQ Ribs. The Sticky Ribs did not have much meat on there but it was fried and glazed with a delicious tangy umami sauce, reminds me of an Hawaiian dish. I ordered a full BBQ Ribs. It was deliciously grilled with a tangy BBQ sauce served with a Cole Slaw and a side mixed salad. I love their house Ginger beer which I can taste the spicy ginger. One of the best ginger beer I’ve tasted.
Service here is excellent. Everyone greeted me with a Happy Mother’s Day smile. Even the men’s bathroom has Mother’s Day card incase you didn’t bring one which really surprised me they got things down to the detail! Kudos to the Manager Andrew walking around helping out and bringing us our drinks when everyone seem to be busy. A leader is not a true leader unless he’s out there with his men, getting his hands dirty as well. Felt like we picked a great place to spend Mother’s Day. Definitely made me feeling good waking in and even better walking out.

Fun, energetic bar atmosphere. Rating for the signature cocktails with rum! (mai tais, punch), mojitos and sangria! Yum… perfect ratio of liquor and not too sickly sweet like I’ve had them at other places.
I’ve been here before which was mainly for the drinks and bar food. At the time, the menu offerings made me think of Elephant Bar which i’m not quite a fan of — a mish-​mosh of asian dishes, pizza, sandwiches, pasta, burgers, bar food… basically a wide range of items which i thought was all over the place!
Tonight, met up with some friends for happy hour and I’ll have to admit my opinion has changed a bit — Lazy Dog has a better vibe and the food ordered was surprisingly dee-​lish! …like the green chile, bacon mac and cheese, loaded mash potato hush puppies, artisan pizza of fennel sausage — YUM! I’ll definitely pass on the asian food and pastas but try other offerings next time. I realize they have an outside patio and very dog-​friendly so I’ll have to bring the ‘kids’ when i venture out that way.

Place was really busy on a Friday, which is generally a good sign. Instead of waiting for a table in the dining area, we found a table in the bar area and were self-​seated immediately. Awesome!
App: Spicy Edamame — tasty! Very salty with a spicy kick… so goes great with alcohol ;)
Cocktail: Pineapple Mojito — yum! Sweet and sour taste… went super well with the salty app!
Dinner: Chimichurri Mahi Mahi with cauliflower mash instead of black beans– yummo! So delicious. The cauliflower was creamy smooth, the veggies were flavorful, and the chimichurri sauce tasty. Awesome combo, and relatively low carb and healthy also, score!
A fantastic meal at a sport bar-​sy joint. The combination of the three items went so well together, it was such a mouth watering experience! Cleaned my plate and scrapped the mash off the bottom it was so good. :)
Why the 4 stars? The mahi mahi was ever so slightly overcooked. Very solid 4 stars.

I’ve gone to lazy dog plenty of times before, and each experience has been different for me! However, dinner today only deserves three stars.
Setting: Tons of seating inside, decorated with dog-​like stuff. Note: you can seat yourself in the bar area! You can avoid waiting half an hour for a table in the middle of the restaurant. Also, the outside seating is nice for warm days. There’s a fire out in the middle for the evening too.
Service: Tonight was probably the slowest service I’ve ever had. I will give it to the waitress that I was in a party of 9, but it took almost an hour to receive our food!
Food: Mediocre. Has your standard burgers, pizzas, and pastas. I recommend the inside out quesadilla. Super crispy and yummy! Also, try the Cajun fries.
Restrooms: Super nice! I love the sinks. Sounds weird, but try waving your hand in front of your face by the restrooms. It’s like an optical illusion because of the lighting!
P. S. You can bring your dog!

First thing I’d like to say is: BUTTER CAKE IS A MUST! It is to die for!
The menu has a variety of options for you to choose from. I’ve only been here twice. The first time I had the salmon. It was cooked asian style with veggies and rice and marinated in teriyaki sauce. Not something I would recommend though. But it was still good. Second time I ordered wings off the appetizer. I was actually there for the butter cake again but my friends were eating entres so I decided to order wings. The wings were great! Crispy and came with 3 sauces: buffalo, blue cheese, and bbq. My friends had the ribs every time we came and claim it never disappoints.
But again, EVERYONE NEEDS TO ORDER THE BUTTER CAKE! Its so warm, moist, sweet, and goes so well with the ice cream and strawberry jam on top. Don’t be surprise if you catch me there with 2 orders to myself! :P
Service is up to par as well! Friendly, funny, and attentive. :)

A pretty basic chain that serves burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, standard American faire where suburbanites can treat themselves once in a while.
I came with a group for lunch and we sat on the patio with one of their dogs. The food took a while to come out and several orders were forgotten, but the server was nice to enough to make the late food complimentary.
I ordered Hawaiian style ribs with garlic fries. The ribs had good sauce with a hint of Hawaii with pineapple, but were just too dry. I wish they were a little more moist and also had more tropical flavor and seasoning in general. The fries were pretty standard, I think they also lacked seasoning.
I thought the lunch was just average, I’d come to this chain just for happy hour if I had to come again.

There’s a obvious reason it called a Lazy Dog, you can literary bring your dogs here and it comes with a dog menu.
Came here around 1ish and was packed with people but got seated in 15 mins or less. I was seated outside and thought it might be too cold but the outside had a heater and a fire place that it wasn’t too bad, at one point I taken out my sweater in the middle of winter !
The staffs were very polite and courteous, checking on us if everything is ok and if we needed anything.
The main foods was good, but appetizers was better though. Love their drinks !
