How fun is this place?!?? Did you know that if you've never been here before, they give you a welcome appetizer as a treat? So awesome!
I went here with a coworker as we are in town from out of state. Got seated right away, our server Zoey was very prompt and engaging, and the food was delicious! So many different things to try on their menu! I would definitely recommend you try them out. I would love to visit again when I'm near one!!

I usually love going to Lazy Dog, however, the service tonight was not good. My boyfriend and I went for dinner at 5 and didn’t leave until after 7. Every time we asked for something, our waiter left for a long time, then came back without bringing us what we ordered. My burger was not cooked well, it was a little underdone from what I wanted and burnt on the top. I didn’t get my side of tater tots until I was done eating and waiting for them. Our dessert took forever to get. When we finally gave our payment, our server walked away and started helping another table before processing our payment. All in all, it wasn’t the best experience.

I had heard a lot of good things about Lazy Dog, so I was excited to try it. The atmosphere was great and welcoming. A nice place to sit and hang out. The fries were really good and crispy, and some of the other plates at our table looked pretty solid as well.
Unfortunately, my experience with the food and service fell short. I ordered the “crispy” wings, but they weren’t crispy at all and had a strange taste. They seemed like they were pre-cooked and then fried just to reheat, which really affects the flavor. I understand why restaurants do this for efficiency, but it definitely took away from the quality.
Service was also lacking, I never received a drink refill, and overall attention from our server was minimal.
Overall, the atmosphere was great and there’s potential here, but between the wings and the service, the experience didn’t quite live up to the hype.

The food and the service at this location are outstanding. I always go for the amazing appetizers my favorite is the firecracker shrimp and the Brussel sprouts. I wish they had like a free like chips or salsa or bread at the beginning of the meal. I also don't recommend the cowboy ribeye Burger it was covered in nacho cheese and not my favorite on the menu but there's lots of other things to choose from. This has been one of my family's favorite restaurants since they came to the Denver metro area. They have amazing drinks on their menu and they also have a really cool fun Beer Club. They even offer takeout TV dinners for only $11!! It's like comfort food meets classic american food vs asian flair as well it's a very unique restaurant. My favorite place to sit is on the outdoor patio with a large fireplace it gives a fantastic ambience. Just a fun place for you to spend a nice evening with your family or friends enjoying great food and fantastic service.

First time at this establishment. Get there early on off times because it gets busy. I had heard mixed reviews. But going in with an open mind and a large wallet. We always order an appetizer which was seasoned fries and a french onion something or other that we thought would be pretty good but it was basically just two crackers with sauteed onions and some cheese on it. Pretty good but definitely not what we thought we were ordering for 10 bucks. The fries were just fries. For a table of four, two of the meals were good fish and rice and a black and blue burger. One was ok chicken pot pie, and one sucked, a tiny scoop of pulled pork on a bed of potatoes and extremely raw carrots... Way to much to get into. The server was so bothered being in our presence from first contact. He knew absolutely nothing about anything on the menu or any drinks. At one point we had to clear our own plates from the appetizers to have room for anything that could be coming. But after waiting almost 2 hours a manager came up and asked if we wanted dessert for free. We declined but in the end she took off the French fry appetizer. Neat looking place but it wasn't worth the almost three hundred dollars paid for the bill. Might come back but no time soon.
