    We visit Lazydog from time to time but this evening was the first time we were lucky enough to have Shelby as our server. Shelby was first class and made the experience amazing for my 2 young boys aged 5 and 3. From making them laugh to giving them little games to play Shelby went above and beyond and it was really appreciated. Thanks a million, we will be back and will be sure to ask for Shelby next time!

    We had an amazing experience at Lazy Dog thanks to our server, Ryan. From the moment we sat down, he was warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. His timing was perfect—always checking in right when we needed something, but never overbearing. He knew the menu inside and out and gave great recommendations that we ended up loving. What truly stood out was Ryan’s professionalism mixed with such a friendly, upbeat attitude. He even took the time to interact with our two little boys about Pokémon, which made our meal extra special. He anticipated what we needed before we even asked and made sure everything from drinks to entrées came out just right. Ryan absolutely elevated our entire dining experience, and he’s a huge reason we’ll be returning to Lazy Dog again. If you get the chance, ask for Ryan—you won’t be disappointed!

    Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar is honestly such a fun and cozy spot! I went with some friends and we all loved it — the menu has sooo many options, and everything we ordered tasted fresh and super flavorful. The vibe is warm and chill, kind of like a comfy lodge, and the staff was really friendly and quick. It’s one of those places where you can just relax, talk, and enjoy good food without feeling rushed. Definitely a new fave for casual nights out.

    After being asked if this was our first visit to Lazy Dog, we were approached by the manager. He was very welcoming and gave us complimentary chefs chips that were delicious! He then had the staff bring an order of chips with a different seasoning and a Trout Dip that was incredible! Chunks of trout! A mild yet delicious taste. Very enjoyable with amazing service and environment.

    Really enjoyed our visit here. The atmosphere has a warm lodge feel, and the dog-friendly patio with the firepit was perfect. Staff was friendly and didn’t rush us. We ordered a mix of things and most of the dishes were very good: • Hot Honey Feta Dip : Creamy and flavorful with the right sweet-spicy kick. Great with the toasted bread. • Chicken Lettuce Wraps : Fresh, crunchy, and seasoned nicely. • Mediterranean Chicken Bowl : Balanced, hearty, and felt like a good lighter meal option. • Tikka Masala Meatballs : One of the highlights. The sauce had great flavor and the meatballs were tender. • Tomato Soup : Smooth, rich, and comforting. Tasted homemade. • S’more Brownie Sundae : ice cream Flavor was good, but the brownie itself was very hard (would’ve been perfect if it was softer/warm and gooey). we appreciated how welcoming they were to our dog. Overall: Great relaxing spot with good food and a cozy patio. We’ll definitely be back, just hope the brownie comes out softer next time.
