Stopped in for dinner with my daughter tonight. I love that Lazy Dog had a great patio for seating area to eat at. There were also heaters for outside to keep it warm when it cools down. The appetizer of bacon cheddar biscuits were amazing!!!! Try them!! Both our burgers were tasty, we asked for medium but they were more along the lines of well done. The umami fries are very good and a perfect side to a burger. Cami was our server and we felt well taken care of with her and her service was great. Take advantage of the happy hour specials, they offer several on both drinks, sides and food choices.Kid-friendliness: Had kid friendly options orCould order smaller plates.

Portions are large. I think an average person should find it to be 1.5 what they normally eat, so you could share, but it wouldn’t fill two people. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality matches it. We had the Thai chicken salad, which was really tasty, as well as the Mediterranean bowl, which had such a nice combo of flavors. The kids meals were OK, but certainly a nice option.

Wish I could give this restaurant more because it does deserve more. But our service was so bad, I can not give it anymore. Our server was not attentive in any way. While we had to wait for a booth, she seemed visibly annoyed that we were sat in her section. We waited over five minutes for to simply come over and offer us a drink. We had to ask for every things, plates for for appteziers, refill for sodas, ketchup, just about everything needed to complete our meal. Honestly, it was just bad service. In the end we waited ten minutes for the check, then we wanted to split the check and had to wait another five minutes for the bill to be divided incorrectly. And for that reason alone we would not return here.

Lazy Dog is one of my son's and my favorite places. My favorite is the sticky ribs with Umami fries. The honey plum sauce is delicious 😋 😍 My son got the half pound black and blue burger with Cajun fries. And, Lazy Dog has retro TV dinners, which we decided to buy 6 and try. So far, we've eaten 3 and they are yummy and so big that I can only eat half. We will definitely buy them again.

More like Lazy Service & Attitude! I recently visited this place after catching a show by Tyler Henry the Psychic at the Grove of Anaheim and after the show went to Lazy Dog near by but my dining experience ended up being the real psychic event. To start on a positive note, I must say that their Maple Bacon Old Fashioned is the bomb! It's so good, it might even predict your future cravings. The combination of maple bacon and grilled 5 cheese is a match made in food. My girlfriend ordered the Fish and Chips. She was hoping for a mind-blowing culinary experience, but instead, she got a plate of mediocrity. The fish was as dry as a desert, and the chips tasted like they were made during the Stone Age. Even the psychic powers of Tyler Henry couldn't have predicted such disappointment.I ordered a side of Cajun fries, but what I received was an avalanche of Cajun spice. It was like they were trying to set my taste buds ablaze! When I brought this to the manager's attention, they arrived with an extra side of spice and a side dish of attitude. Talk about adding insult to injury! And when I see avalanche of spice, instead of taking my fries back, he brought me the spice instead.Throughout the entire meal, the service remained as consistent as a broken crystal ball. No smiles, no warmth, just a "pay and go" mentality. It's like they were trying to predict our desire to never come back. Well, congratulations, Lazy Dog, you nailed it!

My husband enjoyed the pot roast. Very tender. Large portion. He also appreciates that they serve Coke and not Pepsi.I ordered a grilled cheese with french fries and a margarita on the rocks.I'll start with the grilled cheese, it wasn't very good. It really bothers me when a restaurant can't make good grilled cheese. They aren't hard to make. I make them at home all the time. Their grilled cheese is listed as a five cheese grilled cheese. I told the waiter I wanted just cheddar for all of my cheeses, now maybe he didn't convey that properly to the kitchen, but what I got was one maybe two slices of cheddar cheese. And they were barely melted. It was not ooey gooey delicious. It was dry and the cheddar didn't have much taste. The bread was not crispy on the outside which is so important. When you have a grilled sandwich, the outside is supposed to be crispy. When you bite into it, you're supposed to have a little crunch. Very disappointing. The fries were good as was the ranch for dipping.Now we'll talk about the margarita.Also very disappointing. Margaritas are supposed to be sweet and sour and this one was just sour. There was no sweetness to it. It was lacking in flavor. And it was a pretty small portion in my view.We do like that they're open late. Hard to find places that are open past 10:00 p.m. In Orange. So being open till midnight is definitely a plus.

Walked in with a party of 9 for brunch and was immediately seated. Drink orders were made almost immediately and food orders shortly afterwards. Service was the fastest and best I've seen ever! Even after we were done eating and paid the bill, they didn't rush us out. It was a superb dining experience for a large group!Dietary restrictions: Ingredients and allergy notices are clear on the menu descriptions.

We had a 4pm reservation to eat before a 6pm hockey game, and I’m glad we did, as the place was already busy and was soon packed. We were seated quickly and had pretty good service the whole time. We started off with the fried cheese curds, which were fantastic. My husband had the chicken Caesar salad, which was huge. He said it was good. Our son had the fettuccine alfredo, a generous platter, and he enjoyed it. I had the road trip bowl with roasted veggies and butternut squash, which was unique and tasty. It felt healthy and indulgent at the same time. In all, it was an enjoyable first visit at a Lazy Dog restaurant, and I’d like to visit one again.

So, this was our first time here and I am so glad we tried this place. First off, the service was great. From the front of the house to the bar staff (we had sent a drink back because it was off) they were all phenomenal. My uncle, who is 90 was able to see the menu. It's very hard to find a place that has sufficient lighting so that was a definite plus. He ordered the pot pie which was really good. We had meatloaf, fried chicken and the sticky ribs between the rest of the table. We also had the calamari as an app. I appreciate the server making sure we knew what we were ordering so we weren't left disappointed. Of course, we ordered dessert as well since everyone recommends the butter cake. We had that and the huckleberry apple pie. We were very pleased with our visit. This now goes onto the list of rotating restaurants we will visit when we come into town!

The food and the flavors are good, but the restaurant is LOUD, and the portion sizes are a little underwhelming. I had the chicken burrito bowl, and it was tasty, but the 4-ounce chicken portion is disappointing, especially when Chipotle will drop 6 ounces on a bowl that's half the price. The turkey club was good, but the meat was quite dry. Still, the service is always friendly and professional, and the location is convenient.

Came here after seeing a show at the Honda center. Went with the no expectations but pleasantly surprised at the service and amazing food. Wasn’t familiar with this place since I was just visiting the area but will definitely come back here. American fare, done really well!!! The southern fried chicken salad was so good I’ll have to try and replicate it. Considering how busy they were, food came out fast and delicious.

Friendly server who knew the menu well. Answered all our questions and concerns. I really enjoyed the candy bacon appetizer. We did find it to be hotter than we like in the dining area. Server was attentive and food came in a reasonable amount of time.

Stopped in for happy hour, grabbed some wings, Cajon fries, their new crispy shrimp appetizer and a cold beer. Best money I've spent in a long time, food was delicious staff friendly and I didn't have to wait to be seated. If your in the neighborhood stop by and enjoy some great food and drink.Tell them Fred sent you. 😉

We decided to eat a bit more healthy tonight and ordered the Mediterranean chicken bowl and the chicken burrito bowl. The food was tasty and not too filling but there could’ve been more chicken added since there was very little. Also the bowls are a bit small especially for the price. If you’re a person with a larger appetite or you plan on sharing, you might wanna try something different since I feel the portion is just enough for one person.

Wow... I want to go back and eat again like now! And I just barely left.The service I got from Cristina was some of the best I have had. Now she didn't do back flips or go over and above. But you could tell she loved her job. She smiled, she recommended items with knowledge, she was very pleasant and happy. She made the meal 1000 times better.Oh by the way the food was great as well. Started off with a Ginger Beer and some bristle sprouts (they were recommended and I enjoyed them). The ginger beer was not to sweet but just enough and definitely was a great change from just water.I then decided on a PBJ Burger with some sweet potato tots!!I think I chose wisely as when the meal came out my eyes grew 3 sizes. The tots were good they could of been a little more crispy crunchy like normal tots but it was my first time with the sweet tatter kind. I ate them all and enjoyed them.The PBJ burger cooked mid rare was a masterpiece. The sweet the salty the yum. The perfectly cooked bacon and patty were blended well together with the pickels, cheese, peanut butter and jelly. With the jelly dripping off with each bit as the tastes and texture melted in your mouth.Yup hungry again...So many of the menu items sounded good I will be back to try more. Also some desert next time!Go and enjoy!

I was looking for a wonderful, casual restaurant that had solid, gluten-free options. The lazy dog was a perfect fit! Heather was a fabulous, attentive and friendly waitress. When she learned that it was our first time at the restaurant, they surprised us with a special small plate! The parmesan chips were so tasty! Highly recommend the Coconut Mojito, if you are looking for a cocktail. The atmosphere is fine, clean, and, of course, a tail wagging good time. I took home a doggie bag and can’t wait to go back!

The Lazy Dog is slowly becoming one of my favorite places to eat. After eating here several times to try out the different dishes, I can safely say that their food is very well priced and deliciously made. The atmosphere is great for a casual dine in restaurant and, if you're wanting to take your dog to a restaurant, you can bring them out onto the balcony.

Came here for a late night dinner. Service was medicore at best - the staff did not appear to be super eager or keen to work, and we were extensively questioned about "are you going to use your salt and pepper?", as the staff wanted to remove it from our table, and they didn't like it when we responded that we weren't sure. My mashed potatoes were clumpy and cold, making the gravy cold and congealed as well. However, since it was our first time at the establishment, the manager did stop by and introduce himself and provided us with complimentary waffle chips.

Wonderful experience. Food was yummy and our server Todd was exceptional! He even came back from his dinner break to make sure our drinks were full and we had what we needed. Hostess friendly. Pot roast- lemon chicken and French fries 😊 and check out the TV dinners. What a win!

Solid place to get some grub. When we were looking for late night food, we stumbled across Lazy Dog. The food was fantastic and had some great late night happy hour deals! Their menu is very extensive and a little something for everyone. Great quality food, service and an awesome patio for the beautiful summer nights!

Great little restaurant. Loved the chicken tortilla soup. The flat bread was good but it was soft and would've been better as crispy to dip in the sauce. I had the chicken which was yummy and he had the steak both were presented beautifully. Love the dog photo wall and dog impressions everywhere. Great place to dine at if you're a dog lover.

Sexy eggs on a dish! I’ll let you imagine what the Korean BBQ Rib Bowl tastes like 👍🏾👍🏾 My (Janae’s) Shrimp French Dip I asked the chef to make was 🔥🔥🤤. I’ve been craving a French dip for years!! Finally, I’ve found a place with a PESCATARIAN substitute that tastes absolutely fabulous with their caramelized onions, mozzarella, horseradish cream sauce, toasted roll, and au jus on the side. Ask for Janae’s French Dip (sub beef for shrimp). 🤤🤤The calamari appetizer was yummy! I was skeptical when I heard they put sauce on the calamari I’m used to having fried calamari with no sauce on it. However, it was amazingly delicious and tender! Cooked perfectly with no extra chewy or rubbery pieces. It was served on top of a bed of your choice of rice. Beverages were on point last night and service was great. Clean restaurant with a great staff and wonderful food.
