  First time stopping in to Lazy Dog and I'm really glad I did. The atmosphere is warm and we were greeted right away with friendly receptionists. Our server, Savanna, was amazing. And the food, unbelievably delicious. This is a scratch kitch, so everything is made in house. Definitely get the candied bacon, best 5 bucks I've ever spent. The manager, Cheylene, even thanked us for coming in. I'll have to come back for the beer and good vibes at Lazy Dog. If you are considering a good spot for lunch or dinner, check this place out.

  Update: I just called the restaurant to let them know about my review, and Fabiola picked up. She is the manager at the restaurant right now and she was so sweet and understanding. She said she would find out who was working yesterday and speak with them about some improvements they can make. She invited me back in order to show me a better experience. I have to say, I was very impressed by her. I will increase my overall scores and perhaps give them another chance someday. Thank you so much, Fabiola. ------------- I took my mother to Lazy Dog yesterday for a late lunch on her birthday yesterday around 2pm. We had recently gone to the one in Brea and had such an amazing time. This restaurant was about 99% empty. I went in before my mother to ask the host to please arrange a small Happy Birthday wish with the waiter so that I can surprise her. This tall young man had a dead expression on his face and said, "We can't do that." I was shocked, I said, "Is this a restaurant?" He said, "Yes, but I can't make the waiter do it." Then my family came in and he sat us at the bar at a booth with dipped, worn out seats that made the table at our neck level. Mind you, my mother is in her 70s and the booth was lifted up. We asked him why were sat there when the restaurant was empty and there were at least 20+ comfortable regular level booths available. With a dead face, he said, "Sorry." And moved us to a different booth. He said, "You'll have a different waiter." And he walked away. It took 40 minutes for our waiter to come. He said he was on break and just got back. There were at least 8 other waiters standing around. Why did we get the one on his break? He was a nice man with tattoos on his head and ears. We ordered our drinks and food. 30 minutes later, he never brought our drinks. Another 20 minutes later, one of our appetizers came and it was a Cesar salad that looked like a large square plate full of parmesan, it tasted disgusting. Another 20 minutes later, two of us were served, still no drinks. One of us had to wait another 15 minutes for her dish. We asked for our drinks, and he barely apologized. When it was all over, he double-charged me for my meal. He was nowhere to be found after he dropped off the payment machine, so I had to walk around looking for someone to fix it for me. Then I went to the restroom and it smelled like a sewer. I know bathrooms should smell bad, but wow. Just a few tips to the managers.... I was a waitress for a very long time and here is where you messed up: 1) The host needs to smile. 2) The host needs to at least try to make someone feel a tiny bit special on their birthday, that's why we're there. If they really don't believe in singing (which even Denny's and Applebee's and other cheaper restaurants don't mind doing), at least let the person down nicely, not rudely. 3) When someone is clearly old, don't seat them at a raised booth. 4) Maintain your booths, so they aren't dipped causing people to eat at a table at neck level. 5) Serve drinks right away. 6) Make sure the salad has visible greens when served. 7) Serve meals in a reasonable amount of time when the place is clearly empty. If you can't, apologize. 8) Serve the main dishes at the same time. 9) Maintain your bathrooms. 10) Charge people correctly. 11) Always have staff around if people need help or clarification on the bill. In general, I'm a chill person, but I can't get over what a poor time we had on my mom's birthday. I really debated whether to write this, because I don't like being negative, but the manager should know how bad this was. I didn't take pictures of anything, because I didn't think this would still bother me the next day. I'll post the charge to my credit card to prove this is all legit. As a final note, I want the manager to know that I will never go to a Lazy Dog ever again. I hope that bothers you. You have work to do.

  We went for dessert and the banana pudding was amazing!! The open faced pie was good. The crust was homemade and too good!! I ordered and Irish coffee and it was horrible. Not made well at all. I am extra picky about them because once you have one made right in Ireland, there's no going back. I just need to give up and don't order them.

  Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar is a must. Our server, Kayla, made the experience very enjoyable. She was quick, communicated effectively, very personable and had great recommendations. The manager brought our table their house made chips and Chipotle ranch since it was our first time visiting. Our table was well taken care of. You can tell this restaurant and its staff cares about its customers! Not to mention, the food was tremendous. Their Hot Honey Feta Dip, BBQ Ranch Bacon Burger, and Loco Moco Fried Rice are AMAZING. All in all; food was great, Kayla was great, atmosphere was great. We will be back.

  Mya, went above and beyond ensuring we had a positive experience even on a super busy “holiday”. She was friendly, fast , prompt, and easy to talk to. With it being Valentine’s Day we knew we’d have a longer than normal wait and typically food gets pushed back a bit longer. - overall, you can’t go wrong with eating at lazy dog this is one of our favorite go to restaurants. If you have allergy to dogs, I’d recommend dining inside.
