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

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar - Wok bowl with sweet and spicy tofu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

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

I love going to new establishments and at least try on thier menu. Lazy is has some great dishes , and service was great. It was our 1st time ,our server brought in some complimentary chips to much because its our 1st time to the restaurant, while waiting for our order. It's like a sports bar restaurant vibe which I think it is. Great for kids and adults. Happy Hour is offered if your into it. Overall it was a great experience. read more

Love it here! Been back twice now and always enjoyed the food and service. Great bar - Bonita Bonita is now my go-to brew. Had the buffalo meatloaf and fish tacos for the wife - both were perfectly prepared, presented, and delicious! If it's Friday or Saturday night, be sure to call ahead - the get a big lively crowd on the weekends, adding to the fun. Go! 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

Was really good food. Will be back Try the fresh pea hummus and the burgers. Also recommend the deviled eggs read more

Ordered croutons on side of soup, came on top. Customers next to us were served food 1st because kitchen used wrong bread for our sandwich. Fried chicken sandwich is not the same as prior. Its a reheated, pre breaded frozen chicken patty. Do not be fooled. This place is slipping. Go to the Yardhouse. Kind server. read more

Thunderstorms and we ran into the restaurant with our little dog. Sat in their dog friendly. patio which was iscovered. Incredible service by Dana! Very friendly and helpful with menu. Got a beer flight, burgers, salad and fries. Beers were very good especially the red ale. Highly recommend read more

Food was delish & great value! I got chicken honey teriyaki and wedge salad for only $5 add on! I substituted blue cheese dressing to ranch & it was a delicious buttermilk ranch. The chicken entree was so good and just the perfect portion. If you're looking for a sweet treat to split w the table get the brownie sundae! It's a VERY generous portion! And if you're looking for great service, you should request Edell! He's very attentive and friendly. read more

I came back in for Dinner with my Wife & I, once against greeted with great service. Carina was a very warm & welcoming server for our evening Would recommend all of my family & friends read more

WOW!! My daughter and I had lunch at Lazy Dog and our server (and now bestie), Edell, provided the BEST service ever! He was super friendly, attentive and treated us like royalty from the moment we sat down! He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect! Lazy Dog is very lucky to have such a hard working and positive employee! We will definitely be coming back! read more

My new fave place. Love the atmosphere, staff and big menu. Had the bacon wrapped meatloaf, very tasty. Everything feels home made. Brought a dog with and sat in the enclosed heated patio, very welcoming. Not crazy on the desserts. Had the chocolate one and it was overkill, just a bunch of different chocolates lumped together. Had a few of their home made beers, some winners. read more

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar - Benson had a fun time. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Northbrook, Illinois

OK, I have now been to both the one in Vernon Hills and the new one in Northbrook. It is winter so we were not able to bring our dog and sit outside like I did in Vernon Hills. It looks like they added more things to the Northbrook menu, including a lunch special, which is what I did today. A good value, but the food just tasted OK. read more

We have been here 3 times. The first was shortly after opening. The restaurant was busy but service and food were good. On our second visit, when the restaurant was half full, service was slow. When our food was delivered, the items were wrong and incomplete. The server apologized but never fixed the issues. Two days ago we tried again. The restaurant was nearly empty. We were seated at a booth in the bar area. We waited 10 minutes watching servers walk by and stand and chat at the bar never acknowledging we were even there. Finally we left. Never again. read more

Ordered takeout from this location and it was a great experience overall. Placed my order online and it was ready in 20 minutes as promised. Order was brought out to my car in a timely manner. Got to try their bison meatloaf and it was amazing! Never had bison before and it was a pleasant experience. The mash potatoes and spinach were great complimentary sides. I also got a large order of ribs, and there were good..not spectacular, but solid. Definitely large portions at Lazy Dog. Didn't get a chance to go inside, but it looks amazing from the outside. Will definitely come back to try more of their menu. Seems like a great place to grab a bite and some drinks with friends and family. read more

Stopped in for a quick drink and some food to go at the bar and Alec not only gave great service.. ..but let us know what we ordered was on the late night happy hour and hooked us up with the deal. Thanks Alec! read more

Ok. Was looking for a good old grilled cheese and Tomatoe soup. Didn't taste like Mom's

As far as chain breweries go, this is a winner. Vegetarian options, good beer. I've only been to the one in Libertyville or thereabouts, but I've always enjoyed myself. read more

Well I returned today for lunch with my wife and granddaughters. It wasn't busy when we arrived and since it's a beautiful day we asked the hostess to sit outside. She reacted like it was the greatest imposition ever to simply do her job! Then instead of sitting us outside as requested she sat us in an enclosed porch next to a fireplace on an 80 degree day. Would have been lovely in February!! Next we ordered our food which was fine but we ordered the 15$ special that says " All Day Everyday " on a huge sign. Problem is that nobody told the waiter who informed us that it was only Monday--Friday and we weren't entitled so instead of arguing we ordered two sundaes for our disappointed granddaughters. When I called to make the manager aware of our very disappointing experience he didn't seem to care very much either. His attitude seems pervasive throughout and I won't be returning. The food was fine! read more

Clean and nice looking atmosphere at this location. Staff from the front counter, to the wait staff, as well as the manger have been nice to deal with if something goes wrong. Burgers are good and I had the giant meatball with penna 2 different times . The biggest problem is consistency of the cooking in the food. We had steaks served raw one time, burned pasta another time and wrong order or missing order. Now, they give you a free appetizer card BUT I'd rather have my food served correctly every time and cooked correctly. It sort of kills the experience when your food comes burned or uncooked ... maybe they need an expediter who checks to see if they are turning out quality food Last thing, I go to Vernon Hills location and never had a problem there but their steaks rate a 7 out if 10, do I would just pass on steak and stick with the burgers read more

So it my first time coming to this restaurant. My sister has told very nice things about this place. Walking in the atmosphere was very relaxing. It was like you were in the great outdoors. Our waitress was very helpful and explained each of our meals. I had the Moscow Mule which was a bit gingery, but real soothing. I would also recommend the fish and chips which were crispy and mouth watering. I especially enjoyed the nachos, but wasn't much of a fan of the jalapeños. read more

We have gone there for lunch and dinner. The food is all good. The price is reasonable(they give a lot. We always have doggy bags to take home. We have celebrated bdays there. The desserts are OUT OF THIS WORLD). There is one server there, (Debby) so good, funny, great server. It is cute in there. All kinds of people, go there from babies, children, teenagers, mid-aged and older. Most important in a closed area, it is fun watching the Dogs!!!!! A GREAT PLACE read more

Food - The apps were excellent: deviled eggs, tuna, Brussels sprouts, cheese fingers, all so good. Others a bit disappointing this time. We were 6 adults. Unfortunately ribs and trout were not very hot. A salt shaker was broken and allowed loads of salt on a salad, but server immediately brought another new salad. Another salad had extra dressing that had been requested on the side actually poured onto it. It was sent back, but the same one (we checked for mint removed from the first one) came back again with even more dressing on the side. The wedge salad had blue cheese on top, but no dressing on it all. Server was very accommodating. The place is spacious and pleasant with the dog motifs. Next time we will stick with apps or burgers, which we've enjoyed during previous visits. Or salads, with very specific requests re: dressings! read more

Food was delicious and flavorful. Restaurant was clean and as they were just opening that morning, it took a few minutes for the staff to greet us and our waiter was new. But we will be back. Large variety of food and options and it was an easy hit to the wallet. read more

Eddell is the nicest bar tender guy I've ever met! I was having a very stressful day at work and I went on my lunch break and forgot my wallet at work and I really needed a soda for some energy and he accommodated for me temporarily and let me come back and pay and I paid but he is very helpful and empathic and food is delicious and definitely coming here more often! Highly Recommend! read more

Our children's preschool had it's monthly family fundraising dinner at Lazy Dog in NB this past weekend - they so kindly, and generously, extended the *usually one night* dinner to a full weekend event for us!!! Dana and Claire helped arrange a private room for a group of us Friday night and provided the best service and overall evening for our group of 30+ (including about 20 children)- the food was all top notch and brought out quickly and they even had little goodies for the kids for dessert!! What an awesome place- we can't wait to keep coming back with our families! read more

It's a nice place. Staff are trying hard. Dinner for two was just ok. We had a hard time getting water glasses refilled. Tortilla soup was tasty but not well balanced, too much tortilla and like warm, not hot at all. Caesar salad was ok, not well-dressed, very few crotons and small amount of chicken. I dunno how this place will survive as the food feels very corporate and the service was jambly. read more

Had another great lunch at Lazy Dog in Northbrook. Our server, Dana was the best, friendly, efficient, even steered us to the best dessert ever, the S'more Brownie! Lazy Dog has become one of our favorite restaurants. read more

The food was overall ok, the walnut chicken sandwich was not as good. Firecracker shrimps were probably better than others. The server (black hair young man) was unattended and provided poor and little service read more

The food was delicious, and Edelll was a fantastic server - very attentive and had great recommendations!

Edell is amazing. He took our drink order and to go order quickly and there was no mistake. He was so friendly. This location cares about the customers and the community. I Edell is the best! read more

Should be named "lazy staff" not even busy we had 4 people went up to the bar - 4 people behind the bar wasn't even busy never acknowledged us - 15 minutes later we were getting up to leave someone came up and we said we were leaving he turned around and walked away didn't say another word horrible customer service! You all would Be fired if I was your boss! read more

We sat at the bar and were pleasantly surprised by the friendliness and attention of the bartender, Edell. We couldn't decide which wine to have so he let us taste a couple. We ordered the chicken lettuce wraps, which were amazing! Throughout our entire visit, Edell constantly checked on us (without being annoying) and other staff did, too. We really enjoyed the wine and food. Additionally, I briefly mentioned that my mom's 91st birthday was coming up so we were treated to a wonderful butter cake! All of the staff was very friendly and the vibe was very upbeat. Again, the wine was great and the food was delicious. The menu looked extensive with lots of choices, so we will definitely be back! read more

I came back here 3 rd time here and I used to be a bartender when it first opened here at this location for 2 months but pay wasn't good so I quit and I know how the kitchen works and they cook their food in soybean oil!!!! The first time I was here the food was decent but came back for a date night I got a Cuban sandwich I waited a whole Hour for my food to come out and when they came out the Cajun fries were all cold and I was expecting everything for be fresh hot this place is not healthy nasty seed oil place!!!! read more

Would rate it 0 stars if I could, food is never on time for takeout and it's been like that for a whole year. They'll say order ready at 8:15 for example and then tell you "sorry we're running late, new time 8:30" then from 8:30 it goes to 8:45 all the way to almost nine just for simple 2 orders. They seriously need to work on customer service and getting food out on time. read more
