    My family and I visited Lazy Dog today, and everything was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious every item we ordered was on point, and even the food we took to go exceeded our expectations. Our server Luis was super nice and attentive. Truly outstanding service all around. This is not a paid review we just left so satisfied that we felt they deserved the recognition. Highly recommend Lazy Dog downtown, LA. Weโ€™ll definitely be back!

    This place was absolutely wonderful! Nick, our server, was friendly and insightful. He greeted us and asked if we had any allergies to any foods. He had great suggestions for us to try on the menu. The menu did not disappoint. So many choices, and all sounded so delicious. The prices are what you would expect to pay at any reasonable dine in restaurant. The food was really good! We came late afternoon so it wasn't busy yet. Food came out quickly, it was hot and fresh. I would highly recommend eating here, you won't be disappointed.

    This review is long past due. Initially, we came to Lazy Dog for the first time back in the afternoon of 7/25/25. Everything was great! However, my friend ordered a non-alcohol beverage and it never came. I paid the bill and realized that we had been charged. No problem. I simply asked for a reversal and repay the bill after adjustment. Our server suggested to take the drink to go (which was the correct response) but unfortunately we had a lot of walking to do and didn't want to carry anything more. So for the inconvenience, the manager Brandon came to our table and gave us a voucher for a free dessert/appetizer and a $20 gift card. This was too much for me and I couldn't accept but he insisted. I kept the voucher but gave the gift card to a lady sitting at the bar. Brandon made our day and indirectly made hers. The server was nice too but sadly, I don't remember their name We next came on 9/22 afternoon as we wanted to come back and have that yummy Smore's Brownie Sundae desserts. We had a full meal and we were good to go but unfortunately, as we were waiting for the dessert, we had an unlikely visitor show up at the booth next to us. Being in the industry myself, I understand it's not 100% possible to get rid of pests and some will always find a way. The restaurant is always clean and I always notice tables being bussed, wiped and sanitized. The front of the house looked immaculate but as I said, these suckers will find a way and one did. The MOD immediately apologized and comped our meal... again overkill to me. However, I made sure the server charged me something so that I may tip appropriately. Brandon actually just started his shift and dropped by to say hi and apologize for the inconvenience. I don't recall the servers name but he did well. The final visit fell on 10/14 and it was a lot of fun. No incidents. Our server (unfortunately, don't remember her name) was very cheerful and tentative. It seems she had a lot going on in her section. She was working through it with a smile on her face despite it seeming her falling behind not due to her skill but her booth talking her ear off and questioning her about everything. She handled it like a champ. Despite all that she still took care of us efficiently. As always we finished off with the Smores. In general, Lazy Dog does their best to be sure their guests are happy. When time allows, we'll back again! Thank you!

    It was an awesome experience. I brought my wife to watch last Sunday (Nov 2) home game for Lakers vs Miami heat. Of course my team won Go Lakers. THE MAIN THING We navigate the area to look for restaurants. We tried Lazy Dog. Food reasonable pricing. We got Nick our server guide us what food to order. Nick knows well the menu explain detail to include pricing suggested for Masala as appetizer. I ordered drink Coconut Lime. Turkey Sandwich. I ask Nick for white rice to go with Masala appetizer. Sure enough Nick serve us with white rice. It make our day perfect. NICK is an asset. KEEP NICK in your team๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
