Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar

The restaurant was too loud, dark, and very busy. Food was mediocre at best. Service was ok, but very little interaction with the wait staff and were finished for quite some time before they brought our check.

Came in for brunch, and I love an extensive menu with so much variety. I do always get the same thing for brunch though, the breakfast burger just hits!! There's the burger itself, but with sunny side egg, and potatoes! So yum! I asked for a hot sauce, and lazy dogs has its homemade hot sauce, it is fire! I think it's chili oil and something else but it was so good, I asked for a sauce container to take some home with my burger to go!The service was ok today, I noticed all the regular wait staff has changed, so maybe it was their seasonal staff but everyone is different now. I always sit on the long booths near the fireplace bc my fav waiter/waitress works that section, but everyone was new. I also didn't realize they charge $3.75 for hot tea but their hot coffee is free? That was a surprise, and a bit much for hot water and a tea bag.. wont be doing that again. The ambience was good. Noise level is loud but still intimate, where you don't have to shout to speak to your party. I appreciate the wait staff that brought my extra to go order, and the one waitress who told me about the spicy sauce! Thank you!

Our family membership to the Children's Science Center has led us to exploring all the eats at Fair Oaks Mall this winter, and Lazy Dog was our most recent finding!I wasn't expecting too much other than a hot meal but I was pleasantly surprised: + Restaurant is HUGE with lots of seating around their bar and heated patio area+ Unlike most chain restaurants in the area where everything comes delivered to the kitchen in a plastic sealed bag, they make everything from scratch including sauces, marinades, and dressings + Husband enjoyed his meatloaf (perfect on a cold, winter day) and my grilled lemon chicken with cauliflower mash and green beans was a delicious, healthy-ish meal to kick off the week. + Kids menu is pretty standard (and basically mirrors the Cheesecake Factory's kids menu across the other side of the mall) but there was no complaints+ Service was super upbeat, friendly, and efficient. Since it was our first visit they sent out a complimentary appetizer of their homemade chips which was a really welcoming way to start off our meal.My only suggestion for the restaurant is to figure out a way to have guests enter the restaurant through the mall. Other than that, it's a winner! Pro-Tip: Their frozen tv dinners make a great present for a new mom or someone who is recently recovering from a surgery or sickness.

We were able to park easily as it is located next to or attached to a mall. We were seated immediately which was great. The ambiance was fine. We were seated next to the windows so it was a little cooler but it also was quieter than if we were seated in the middle of the serving area. There was a fireplace and a deer head mounted over the fireplace so it gave it a more outdoorsy feel. We were attended to quickly. It was slightly hard to understand some of the things that were said, but it could be partially due to the level of noise. We were given some cajun fries as it was our first time eating at Lazy Dog which was nice and we got a coupon for a free appetizer the next time we came back. The ok or less: The fries were ok, they were somewhat crispy, but half of the fries were excessively covered in oil, but they were free. The candied bacon was fine, but not something I would buy again. They were sweet and tasted like bacon, but nothing stood out. The root beer wasn't good to me, it tasted off, strangely like there were some chemicals. The bison burger was ok, a bit bland, had to dip it in sauces to eat it. The umami fries were ok, for the price, not worth it. The good: The nachos were pretty good and the dessert was good. They tasted like I was expecting and didn't disappoint.

The Lazy Dog has probably some of the friendliest staff I've ever encountered at a restaurant.From the moment we walked in we were greeted with big smiles. I don't eat dairy and the staff was kind enough to provide us with a special nutrition menu that told us which of the menu items contains milk.They brought out a complimentary appetizer with the most delicious dipping sauces. Then, we received our entrees in a timely fashion.I ordered the house club sandwich with fries. It tasted fantastic. Everyone at my table really enjoyed their meal.They have a deck that is specially designed for people to eat with their dogs. So if you are looking for a place to catch a meal with your furry friend be sure to check out the Lazy Dog.

Came in yesterday during happy hour and sat at the bar for about 15 minutes. I wasn't greeted, and it was pretty obvious that the person was sitting there before me had left (napkin, cups and utensils were in front of me). The bartenders were busy at first but I thought surely they would at least greet me after a bit. No, they checked with the regulars next to me to see if they wanted refills and just made casual conversation. After 15 minutes I left and went to Cheesecake Factory.

grabbed this to go at like 10:50PM because of a return flight at IAD. The food was fresh and delish! for the time on a Sunday night, def was not expecting that. My fries and mini corn dogs were perfection. my partner ordered the blue cheese burger and fries - it left him smacking his lips! highly recommend.

I was here a couple of times, over a year ago, and the food was pretty good. I went back today for lunch. I should have quit while I was ahead.I had a burger and fries, like on my previous two visits. Unfortunately, unlike those times, the burger and especially the fries tasted off and seemed greasy. When I mentioned it to the server, she said, "OK," and walked on. But it got worse. A couple of hours later, when I got home, I had a "bad reaction" that I'm certain was from the food. There's no way for me to tell if the bout of food poisoning was due to bad ingredients or poor food handling/preparation. All I know is that I never intend to come back, despite this being such a popular restaurant.

First time hereThe manager came over with some coupons for our next visit And they give complementary waffle fries that are more like potato chips Very good We enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant, but it does get a little loud. So if you don't enjoy a loud restaurant, this is not the place for you.The service is great and very attentive. The staff is very friendly.We had some burgers. Great flavor and cooked as requested. Onion rings were crispy and flavorfulWill definitely be back

5/5 stars 10/10 food and 100/100 service. Wyatt was the greatest server we had. he checked on us frequently and interacted with us! he's very well spoken and knowledgeable about the menu. He looks like he's enjoying what's he's doing and it's a breath of fresh air. we will 1000% be asking for him next time. if anyone is going to this location please request Wyatt.
