My heart is overflowing with gratitude!
Lazy Dog in Northbrook hosted a beautiful send-off celebration for my Make-A-Wish Wish Child, Samantha, and her family before they leave for her Wish Trip to Cancun.
Lazy Dog due to the generosity of Dennis Shadrick, General Manager, provided and covered the cost of delicious meals, refreshments, and desserts for the entire family, creating a warm and joyful celebration they will always remember. Their kindness gave Samantha and her loved ones an opportunity to simply enjoy being together to celebrate the exciting adventure ahead.
I also want to recognize someone who made the day even more special - our amazing Server, Dana. Although it was her day off, she volunteered her time to help. She set everything up, took wonderful care of our group, mingled with everyone to make sure they were enjoying themselves, and brought such warmth and enthusiasm to the celebration. To top it all off, she graciously refused a tip, saying it was her contribution to Samantha’s special day (as if she hadn’t already gone above and beyond).
Acts of kindness like these remind us that wishes are made possible not only by organizations, but by compassionate people and businesses who open their hearts to others.
Thank you Lazy Dog, Dennis Shadrick and Dana for helping create such a meaningful and memorable day for Samantha and her family. Your generosity, kindness and community spirit truly made a difference.
My family and I had our final Make-A-Wish dinner here at Lazy Dog in Northbrook, and it was the perfect way to end such a special journey. From the moment we arrived, everyone made us feel so welcome. Dana was incredibly kind, attentive, and impressively fast with service, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the day. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and relaxing, and the entire experience made our last Make-A-Wish dinner one we’ll always remember. Thank you to Dana and the whole team for making such a meaningful day even more special!

We had the most wonderful experience at Lazy Dog. They generously hosted a special Make-A-Wish brunch for our family as we celebrated our daughter Sammy’s wish journey, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
The food was delicious, but what truly made the day unforgettable was the kindness and compassion of the staff. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, cared for, and celebrated. Their generosity and attention to every detail meant so much to our family.
Thank you, Lazy Dog, for helping create such a meaningful memory. Your support of Make-A-Wish and the families you serve truly makes a difference. We will always remember your kindness and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for not only great food, but exceptional people.

Our organization, Rainbow Animal Assisted Therapy, recently partnered with Lazy Dog in Northbrook for a fundraiser, and we couldn't be more grateful for the incredible support we received. A special thank you to General Manager Dennis Shadrick, who went above and beyond to make the event a success. Dennis and his entire team exceeded our expectations in every way.
Not only was the fundraiser organized flawlessly, but the food was outstanding, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. Every staff member our volunteers interacted with was friendly, professional, and genuinely committed to providing a great experience.
If you're looking for a restaurant with amazing food, outstanding service, and a team that truly cares about both their guests and the community, Lazy Dog Northbrook is the place to go. Thank you again, Dennis and the entire Lazy Dog team, for your generosity and support!

Really welcoming and friendly staff, great food, excellent place to chill. I've been coming here for a little over 6 months, about once a week. It's hard to find places where I can go by myself and I'm always comfortable here. Usually Alex is the person behind the bar and he's been fun to talk with, super attentive, and appreciate his recommendations. I love the menu variety. Today I tried the bao buns, which were awesome. I also got the chili crunch ahi tuna bowl which was exactly what I needed...tasty and healthy. I also really enjoy the unique beer on tap and cocktails.
