    I’ve been here a few times the service and food had been the highlight with a warm atmosphere. Tonight the whole family came and they struggled with basic tasks it was overwhelmingly crowded and by that I mean the main entry way you couldn’t get to the front desk with out asking someone to move which is concerning if there was an emergency. Our waitress seemed to struggle with being interested in waiting on a table of five. We stayed patient with a toddler at that. Someone else took over table then she proceeded to take her table back but with anger and threw the electronic check machine on the table when it was time to go I do truly mean tossed on the table and turned and ran. No thanks for coming or anything can do for you not one word or eye contact. This certainly sealed our fate of mot returning.

    We've ordered take out a number of times from Lazy Dog. Food is delicious overall. That said, do yourself a favor and do not order the grilled cheese to go. The sandwich travels very badly and it's been a mess the two times someone in our party ordered it. Other food options were great. Take out food is completed in time and is hot. Service staff is pleasant and responsive.

    What a fantastic place. Really nice inside (If a trifle noisy but no big deal), very clean and tasteful. The food is stupendous, a very creative (and LARGE) menu, innovative without getting carried away. Best burgers EVER! Truly amazing meat! The service is excellent, top-notch.our server Kristen was friendly, knowledgeable and took great care of us. Our new favorite spot. Definitely worth a trip.

    I love this restaurant so much!! I come here at least once a week. The food is always great and my friends and I love the drinks…. My bartender kenzy was so sweet and attentive. I wanted to show my appreciation so I spoke to Claire the manager and she just was the cherry on top of the visit. She was so passionate about what she does and it shows in the way the building feels. Can’t wait to come back!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely obsessed with Lazy Dog – it’s our go-to spot! We came in on a busy Saturday night and were blown away from start to finish. Our server was an absolute gem – super attentive, funny, and had perfect recommendations (the Campfire Pie cocktail is dangerously good). The food? Next level. The Bison Meatloaf is hands-down the best meatloaf I’ve ever had – juicy, flavorful, and that mashed potato mountain on top is pure comfort food heaven. My husband got the Peanut Butter Chicken Satay and inhaled it. Even the kids’ menu kept our picky eaters happy too!! Atmosphere is unreal – those cozy fire pits on the patio with the mountain lodge vibes make you feel like you’re on vacation. Dog-friendly patio is a massive bonus too; our pup got his own water bowl and treats! Portions are massive, prices are fair, and every single staff member we passed greeted us with a smile. Lazy Dog isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience. Already planning our next visit. 20/10, keep doing what you’re doing! 🐾🔥
