Had a great lunch at Lazy Dog yesterday! Eli was so kind to us! We all loved the food.

We came here for lunch. Very loud music. Our waiter didn't write down our order which led to a confusion with the checks. The food was just ok and overpriced. I'm not returning. read more

Awesome food! Awesome service! Eli was the best waiter! The fire pit on the patio was super fun!

Wow!!! Awesome place, with a huge menu and excellent food & service. Tried a cup of tortilla soup and it was delicious - broth based with ample amount of chicken. For an entree I went with the lemon grilled chicken, it was fantastic and had excellent sides - mashed cauliflower and roasted green beans with tomatoes and slivered almonds. Great meal and fast professional arrive! read more

Came for my first visit during Sunday brunch and had a wonderful experience. The breakfast burrito that I ordered was massive and flavorful with just the right amount of spice. Our server, who was so attentive but not overly so, said many jokingly refer to it as the Hannover Burrito. My friend ordered the ham, cheese, and red pepper quiche, which has such a hearty-yet-flaky crust it looks like a personal deep dish pizza. I took a taste and will definitely be back for a whole serving. Complimentary cinnamon donut holes with a chocolate sauce were served before our meals in lieu of the standard daytime chips and wow were they delicious as a dessert. Great experience, and the menu is so expansive I will need to come back multiple times to try everything that looks good! read more

After the long slog of the holidays, we came here with some family who were visiting from out of town. We needed a break from the house, as well as a menu that would appeal to a variety of palates, and Lazy Dog hit the mark. I've been to the one in Vernon Hills a few times; this was my first visit to the new(ish?) Northbrook location. We were seated right away, which was appreciated, as everyone in our group was hungry. Service was a little slow at first - it took a long time for our table to be acknowledged by our server. Once he discovered we existed, we didn't have any additional delays. Lazy Dog's menu is huge and includes everything from sandwiches and burgers to Asian fusion bowls. It's a bit overwhelming if you're really not sure what you want, but I'd already decided I needed a burger in my life so that narrowed it down a bit. In addition to their bespoke beers, they have a fairly robust beer list that includes some local breweries like Moody Tongue. Our server was knowledgable and helpful during the ordering process. Specifically, when a member of our party ordered the pot pie, he called out that their pot pie filling includes mushrooms and checked to make sure that would be okay with her (it was not). I appreciate him flagging that, since mushrooms are an unusual pot pie filling (and a fairly divisive ingredient). My blue cheese burger was exactly what I needed, and the french fries were hot and crisp. Paired with a cold beer, I couldn't have been happier. Everyone enjoyed their meals and, aside from the blip in service at the beginning, we had a great experience. Looking forward to some patio beers this summer! read more

Featuring various Inside/outside seating options, true to its name you are welcome to dine with your critters on the outside patio. Lots to choose from on the menu for both food and drink. This visit, we dined on the patio and I opted for a Melvin IPA and the Ahi salad plate. I did sample both the brussel and cheese curd apps. The brussels were on the richer side from the treatment they received. This particular location has been many things over the years that have come and gone, but LD did a fairly intensive renovation of this space and it shows, the interior and exterior are inviting and I think this version hopefully will stick. I did note that dark blue dungarees and flannel seem to be the LD outfit which seems a little throwback, but given enough time, everything comes back around in some form eventually. Think I'm wrong? Remember fanny packs, velour and terry cloth? All of them are back baby! LOL read more

Stopped by for the first time on a Friday after work. Tried their happy hour $5 4-piece biscuit appetizer and it was a bit dry but very flavorful. Service was kinda of attentive. There were a ton of wait staff and OTJ trainees as well. The bar is very spacious but naturally was full of people. The tables, high tops and bench seating did not feel crowded with a packed house high ceilings seem to help defeat the amount of people in the space beer choices were good. I had the bison meatloaf, which was well done and very flavorful. Portion size was large but proportional to the $25 price. The out patio is sheltered from rain while dogs are welcomed. There isn't much to do around this restaurant, as it's alin the outside corner of the strip mall bookended with a grocery store, but parking is plenty. I will definitely come back to try other things on the menu. read more

Alex was a wonderful server. Personable, attentive and efficient. Food arrived in a timely manner. The lettuce wraps were delicious and the sesame ginger salad was fresh and crisp. Turkey sandwich sported a large slice of fresh avocado. Hamburger was hot and juicy. read more

I ordered takeout for lunch. It was pretty quick. Pulled up to the pickup lane and they brought my food out. I had the fried chicken sandwich and Thai chicken salad. The chicken sandwich is pretty big. The slaw was well flavored and complemented the sandwich. Overall, I really enjoyed it! The fries are really good too. Crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. The Thai salad, which I thought they forgot to give me chicken, but it was just at the bottom. I wasn't a fan of the dressing. It was way too acidic for me. It's supposed to be a "spicy peanut vinaigrette", but you really don't get much of the peanut flavor. I probably wouldn't get this salad again and try something new. read more

Ambiance was pretty nice. Feels like you're in a cozy cabin like restaurant in some mountain town. Service was what you'd expect in the suburbs. Hostess was unfriendly and seemed like I was interrupting/bothering her at work. Server just seemed overworked and overall unhelpful. Food came out quick and hot but overall it was just average based on the prices. Overall probably worth checking out once but I don't see it as a regular spot. Doubt it'll last long term. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar. The food was delicious -- the smashed potatoes were perfectly seasoned and cooked to a crisp golden perfection, and the apple-huckleberry pie was exceptional. The aroma alone was amazing, and it tasted just as good as it smelled -- warm & comforting. What truly made the evening special was the exceptional service. When we arrived, I requested a quiet table since one of my guests has difficulty hearing. The manager, Michael Wright, overheard my request and thoughtfully suggested the heated patio. He personally checked the music level and proactively turned it down so we could comfortably enjoy conversation. He checked on us throughout the night, and our cozy dinner by the stone fireplace was delightful. It's rare to find a restaurant that delivers both outstanding food and such attentive, professional service. Michael went above and beyond, and we will absolutely be returning. read more

Great burger, great onion rings, and great service! Special thanks to Gabby for a good time

Our waitress was fun and friendly. the food was great, and I was surprised they had their own craft beer.

Dana took great care of delivering food to the Devon Bank, Glenview Branch, and everything arrived right on time. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the service was excellent! We also appreciated receiving plates and utensils, which made it easy for us to start our lunch right away. I'd happily return to this restaurant with my family and would recommend this place to others. read more

I've been here several times now and I'm not impressed or having an urge to go back anytime soon. We sat at the bar a couple times and a table a couple times. Huge menu!! The 'small plates' are lame, over priced, and the portion size is very small. Take the chicken nachos for example, completely flavorless and the portion size was so small, hardly enough for two people let alone one, plus they were cold. The bacon candy and the small portion (again) of chicken tenders came out lukewarm and they ain't cheap...$16 for nachos with very little ingredients. It was like a child's portion, if fact most dishes are smaller and pricy for what is on the plate. Loads of beer choices and cocktails to fit any taste but bring your money as a lame Coors Lite 16 oz. is $6.75. Come on! Service at the bar is hit or miss, obviously depends on the bartender. Table service was very good for our party of eight. Indoor and patio/outdoor dining plus a mean fireplace. Don't get me going on the take home TV dinners, just leave that pleasant kids memory alone. One star for the food and value, three stars for the table service, so averaging out to two stars. Yelp rating for two stars means 'could've been better' and it damn sure should've been. read more

Lots of space and fun atmosphere. Went to lunch and was greeted by our server Marisol. She was lovely. Ordered the lunch combo meal. Let me tell you, besides being delicious, the portions were huge. We had a coupon for a free appetizer. We enjoyed the quesadillas. We also were surprised with a Parmesan potato chip appetizer, complimentary. I definitely want to go back and just sit at the bar or in the bar area. read more

I had no specific knowledge of this restaurant when we picked it on a whim before going to the Chicago Botanic Garden. We called ahead and made a reservation for 10 including 4 kiddos. They gave us a private room (which was really nice given the energy of the kids) and made it special for one or the kid's second birthday that we were celebrating together. Eli was a wonderful waiter! Couldn't recommend his service more - he was kind, silly, and patient with the kids and made great food recommendations. The firecracker shrimp are a must have. I loved the campfire pot roast. The birthday boy also got a treat which all the kids enjoyed sharing! Highly recommend for a family outing with kids. We will be back! read more

Do not ever order takeout from this location. We've tried ordering from them about 6 times and took a break for a while because the experience was so bad. Just tried again today and it was more of the same. We pre-ordered an hour in advance for a pickup time. Got there on time to pickup and then texted to let them know I was there. After about 5 minutes got a response that our order would be another 10-15 minutes. Which only makes sense if they didn't start making it until I arrived. Unfortunately this matches our prior experiences here. The one time the food was not late it was ready about 30 minutes earlier than they said it would be ready, so by the time I got there and took it home it was cold. The experience if you go in the restaurant is fine. But never order takeout from here. read more

We went here on Saturday for lunch and got right in and sat at a beautiful booth in a little crowded of an area. Our server was fantastic! We started off with the nachos for an app and really liked how they tasted - we just needed some more of the cheese and toppings. For entrees we got the pad tai which we got refunded for (they were very nice) but it was not cooked correctly and the taste was very bland. I went with the Mediterranean chicken bowl and it was very tasty but the chicken was overcooked. Felt light and refreshing low. Water was a constant here and the martini drink we got was a hit. read more

I'll call it creative pub food but they allow you to bring your pup (outside seating). Came with the whole disaster for father 's day and everyone liked what they got and kids had dessert. My middle and I always let server recommend and she did not disappoint. read more

Went out for a girls night and had the best server, Eli! He upsold us, very smoothly I might add, on the cocktail sampler (and thank God he did because it was amazing). Every drink was better than the last and honestly we wouldnt have ordered it if he hadnt mentioned it. His service was friendly, on point, and just the right vibe. He checked in just the right amount, gave great recs, and had the best energy. I'll definitely be requesting Eli every time I come in. He made our night! read more

We loved this place for date night, however service at our last outing was extremely slow, like 45 mins without drinks. We then ordered on Uber Eats and the order was cancelled. Yikes, seems like a labor problem. read more

Went in the other day for a later night dinner. Really like the look of the restaurant. We sat near the bar and it was long after the dinner rush. The wait staff, Melanie?, was super nice. Had a burger and fries and it was really good. Aldo had the Brussels sprouts and it was a great appetizer choice that I'd have again. Like the four sauces that they offer. All were good. Prices weren't bad. Would definitely go back again. read more

Food was surprisingly great! To start off we had the brussel sprouts and cheese curds. The Brussel sprouts were TO-Die-For! I love capers and there was plenty of them. It was a great blend of tastes! Cheese curds were nothing special. Chicken tortilla soup was so good my daughter asked for a spoonful and didn't want to give it back. Off the dinner menu my daughter had the beef noodles. It was a lot of food. She needed a doggie bag. I had the zucchini noodles with beet meatballs... I wasn't expecting much and boy was I blown away. It was so good that I probably could've made 3 meals out of it, but I simply couldn't stop eating. My mom had the trout and she pretty much picked the plate clean. The beer was Ho-hum. My husband got the berry hazy... it was not! a hazy and it definitely didn't taste like an IPA. WE WILL BE BACK! Only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because beer was sub-par, their to-go boxes are plastic single use plastics. Boo- please care about the future. And the noise level was too much. I had a hard time hearing the person across from my table. It was way too loud. read more

WOW!! My daughter and I had lunch at Lazy Dog and our server (and now bestie), Edell, provided the BEST service ever!

This year, we celebrated Lambo's birthday in true VIP style--Very Important Pup--at Lazy Dog Restaurant, where even the furriest family members get the royal treatment!

Bland food and unorganized service. Made an online reservation for the patio and was seated instead indoors next to the kitchen. They did find another table after I complained. While I appreciate that they have a gluten free menu, it's really just removing the parts of the dish that contain gluten and not replacing with anything - eg, burger with no bun and no fries. This doesn't make a kid very happy. The gf chicken was a plain piece of chicken with no seasoning, plain rice, and cucumbers. Very spartan. Food off the regular menu was okay, but meh. They charge $2 extra for seasoned fries. I can't think of a reason I would come back. read more

My second visit to Lazy Dog, first time to the Northbrook location. I was impressed. We were seated immediately, the restaurant was 3/4 full, and it was a lively atmosphere. The waitress was ebullient and professional. She frequently checked on us for refills and was patient with us as we perused the voluminous menu. My dining companion had the bison meatloaf. I opted for the All-American burger, and we split an order of the shrimp appetizer. Everything was tasty. I'm taking one star off, as my dining companion was very disappointed with her beer selection, one of the beers made on site, apparently. read more

This location just opened so I wanted to give it a try. There were plenty of staff on hand to take care of all of the customers. I enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant especially because it's spacious, yet homey. Plus it's fun to see so many of the staff in plaid flannel shirts. I noticed there was a fire in the fireplace and made a mental note that it would be nice to go here in the winter. I ordered the sweet and spicy tofu wok bowl. Would have liked a little bit bigger portion for the price, but the meal was delicious. I found it to be more sweet than spicy. I think the spicy description must be referring to the ginger, which didn't seem spicy to me at all. Our server was welcoming and attentive. She came back many times to make sure we were OK and refilled beverages. The food also arrived in a timely fashion. I also appreciated that she left the machine to pay for the bill instead of standing there while we paid and tipped, which is always uncomfortable. The front desk staff was friendly as we were leaving, but I do wish they had welcomed us upon arrival. We stood there for a couple of minutes and then finally walked up to the counter to ask for help. Totally understandable though for a new place just opening. I will definitely be back. read more

Fantastic I came here on Saturday night with my mom sister, and my three-year-old. It's only been open for three weeks. The place was bright and welcoming. The manager a younger guy wearing a red plaid shirt was very welcoming when we walked in. He seated us immediately. Leo was our waiter. He was so wonderful, he got us on time. The food was fantastic. We had chicken lettuce wraps, the Thai chicken salad. the cheeseburger and the banana pudding with tea for dessert. It was so delicious. Everything was wonderful. The prices were very reasonable. I will absolutely be coming back here again. Also, what I did love is when the waiter brought our check to pay he brought the little Apple Pay device. He just left it on the table for me to pay. He wasn't hovering over the table. I hate when waiter stand there and I had to tip them in front of them, I want to just have the bill and pay for it and when I'm ready read more
