We had the best server at Lazy dog. If you want to have a great experience sit in Sandra's section. She gave us amazing drink recommendations and food options. She had a great energy and was always making sure we were good. Sandra is amazing and made the experience so much better. read more

Food was amazing, but you know what was even better? 3 words. Kaden, Kaden, and also Kaden For crying out loud the man also busses his own tables and table touches constantly even with tables that are not his own. As god as my witness get this man a fucking raise. Shit I'll start a go fundme Only gave 5 stars because there's no such thing as more than 5 but if it was out of 10 stars I'd give a 10. The biggest thing about the dinner though was our server Kaden He was extremely kind and patient with us. When we informed him of our allergies he went out of his way to make sure things were gluten free. Extremely grateful for his service, his hospitality, and his genuine concern for our safety, experience, and our happiness. What I appreciated the most is that when he didn't have a direct answer he would ask us to give him a minute while he found out what we needed. He definitely is very diligent and has extreme amounts of integrity. Most servers would just give us a plain answer without any explanation or not even show effort; but he most definitely did. To top it all off he was just extremely funny and it felt like I was talking to one of my best friends I've never even met. He radiates so much positivity that it blows on mind on how someone can be so positive yet so locked in. I can definitely tell he cares about his coworkers too and about people in general because I've noticed that he ran other people's food and one table asked for his help and without hesitation he helped them. I heard him say "every table is my table" and that also just made me envoy this place for having an extremely hard working individual with a hell of a work ethic. I've worked in customer service roles for over 5 years and 2 years being a server myself, and 3 years in law enforcement settings; and man, I wish all my places had a Kaden I'm not the type of person to write reviews, but I'm also not the type of person to not give credit where credit is due. He definitely made our night. We had a terrible week to be honest, a very stressful one and we wanted to go somewhere nice to help us escape from all the stressful and negativity that has been happening around our lives lately. So, coming on a Tuesday night being taken care by Kaden definitely helped a lot 10000%. Once again, had a wonderful night that definitely made up for all the bad things we have been going through. This was a very well needed night. Caden thank you so much for your service. I hope that we see you again really soon and I'm in aw of your work ethic, humor, dedication and 100% honesty & Integrity Lazy dogs management is clearly doing something right especially having people on Like Kaden! Definitely will come back hoping Kaden will take care of us soon! Shoutout: Dylan the host was also amazing. Very welcoming, extremely kind and patient. Down to earth guy that seems very passionate to just be involved! read more

Today's visit to Lazy Dog was... an experience. First things first: our table and booth were dirty. Not exactly the warm welcome you hope for when you're coming in to celebrate a graduation. Then came the graduation promo cards. My daughter received several promotional cards as graduation gifts, and when I asked about using one, the manager's response felt oddly inconvenienced. I'm sorry... isn't the entire purpose of a promotional card to be used? The vibe was giving, "How dare you redeem the thing we literally gave you." Once seated, we waited over 10 minutes before our server stopped by. No greeting. No hello. No "How's everyone doing today?" Just an iPad appearing at the edge of the table followed by, "What can I get you?" Customer service seems to have gone on break before our server arrived. Thankfully, we already knew what we wanted: 2 All-American Burgers Cajun Fries House Bread Brussels Sprouts The food was fine. Not bad. Not amazing. Just... food. For dessert, we tried the Campfire Cookies and Strawberry Mint Butter Cake. Again, perfectly edible. Nobody cried tears of joy. Nobody started planning a return trip based on dessert alone. The funniest part? Out of the dozen graduation promo cards my daughter received, we only used ONE, plus a $50 gift card. After all that, our remaining balance was $2.86. And because I've worked in customer service and know how rough it can be, the server who showed absolutely zero personality with our table, while somehow becoming everyone's best friend at surrounding tables, still got the remaining change as a tip. Will I go back? Sure. I still have a stack of promo cards to burn through. And when I need a change of scenery, Lazy Dog will do the job. But if you're looking for exceptional service, memorable food, or an experience worth raving about? This wasn't it. Lazy Dog today wasn't terrible. It was just aggressively average. read more

Shawarma salad is a new menu item. It was really good! Two main areas for improvement are the chicken itself, it was dry, and that there's a sauce on the bottom of the place that makes everything touching it soggy. So overall great flavor and I would get it again but with all sauces on the side. I did get dressing on the side so whatever sauce was on the bottom of the plate, isn't considered a dressing Edamame we're average Pot roast was great! Not salty at all, very tender. Potato's were good with it. read more

Their fireside favorites are such great options! This time tried the shrimp tacos which didn't disappoint. Also opted to add the salad for $5 which is reasonably priced for the size. And their s'mores brownie is so sweet and rich! Great service and our pup loves seeing all the other dogs on the patio! read more

Enjoyed a delicious Easter brunch here! Great ambiance. Got there about 10 minutes before they opened--didn't have a reservation, but were seated immediately along with the many other people lined up outside before they opened. Some had reservations, especially larger parties. If you plan, do the reservation thing. I prefer to do that. But we were a small party so it worked out. My breakfast biscuit was decadent and delicious. Great fried egg cooked perfectly with delicious cheese and avocado and bacon. First time I've had a perfect fried egg at a restaurant. They do it right! The Cajun seasoned tots on the side were better fresh than reheated later. Not my fave. The side of candy bacon was also very nice-- balance of sweet and spicy was great. It's served slightly chilled, but was good. The peach bellini is perfectly bubbly-- not blended. Just the way I like it! Great portion of two full glasses per order. Strong champagne. Lovely and priced right for brunch. My daughter's pancakes with warm berry compote on the side were delicious. I couldn't resist eating one since the stack was so large. Shareable for sure! And her side of bacon and scrambled eggs were delicious also. Server was fabulous. Friendly and efficient. Overall great experience. I'll definitely return soon. read more

We hadn't been here in a very long time since they removed the pizza from their menu that we used to love. We decided to visit since we tend to see them very busy so they must be doing something right. We were able to find parking near the entrance and we received by the hostess promptly. We came in for a very early dinner or late lunch and decided to sit indoors. We got sat on a booth near the bar area. One thing we did notice is that the crowd was on the older side, but we didn't care. Another great perk that they have is that they have no corkage fee so we brought our own wine. The ambience is very casual with indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating welcome pets and they have a water bowl. Although they were busy, Service was good and food came out relatively quick. They have a very extensive menu, which even includes dog friendly meal. We decided to start with the crispy deviled eggs, which were served with a small salad in the center. These were delicious. They were very crispy and the deviled egg was perfect, perfectly seasoned and decorated with a delicious candied bacon. From there, I decided to go with a New York steak, medium rare veggies and gratin potatoes. My steak was perfectly cooked then it was good. For being a place that is not a steakhouse, it was good but I would not say it was the best as you could tell that this was a previously frozen cut. The sides were delicious. My boyfriend decided to go for a burger with truffle fries. His burger was huge and it tasted delicious. I think I will go with something different next time, but it was still worth it. We could not leave without dessert, knowing that they had the s'mores the dessert. This was a huge portion for sure shareable. The brownie part of it was warm and fresh with the melted marshmallow on the top and one scoop of ice cream. Overall, we will be back. They have plenty of parking on the front and on the sides and a large sitting area. They have a wide variety in their menu, including healthy choices and no corkage fee. Also keep in mind that they update their menu based on season. read more

Updating my review since it's been a while. Today I ordered a delivery, and my bowl was once again delicious! I love their bowls, and actually ordered 2 for dinner and one for tomorrow. For being a chain, their food is always consistently good. I can't speak for their service today since it was delivered, but in the past we've had good experiences here as well. This is a very casual place with a relaxed vibe, and dogs are allowed out in the patio. They even have a doggy menu :) read more

Grant was our waiter he was Marie's Lumberjack lol. My Blue cheese burger and watermelon were delicious. Marie had the Chicken Pot Pie she loved it. She's going to order that again she said it was very good nice big chunks of chicken. Grant was very attentive and fast never left us waiting for anything. We like the booth we sat at nice and big and open so I'm not feeling like things closing in on me . Thank you Grant for the bandaids We hope to come back and have you as our waiter again. read more

I went there around 3pm on a Sunday with my husband. It was not very busy. I see many open tables inside the restaurant. Yet, we had to wait 15 minutes to get seated. We ordered the Mediterranean Chicken Bowl from their new menu "$15 Fireside Favorites". This item comes with a banana pudding for dessert. In addition I ordered a bowl of chicken tortilla soup. After placing our orders, we had to wait 35 minutes to get the food. I had to flag down my waitress to have her check on our order. When our food finally arrived, we didn't even have serving utensils. Service at this restaurant needs a lot of improvement. The chicken tortilla soup and the banana pudding was not bad. The Mediterranean chicken bowl: 2/5. Chicken was very dry. The rest of the stuff (rice, salad, hummus) that comes with the bowl was fine. Although the banana pudding tasted fine, I was not happy to see that the bowl they used to serve the pudding has many chips (damaged areas) in the bowl. They should retire these damaged bowls. Damaged bowls can be a health hazard. Overall, I was disappointed. Both food and service need improvement. read more

My brother and his wife visiting from Arizona met us for dinner at the Lazy Dog in Brea. We each ordered salad entrées and water. My Tex Mex salad is delicious. The others seemed satisfied with theirs as well. Mostly we talked, reconnected. The server was wonderful, never intrusive, and even allowed us to remain long after our plates were empty. All in all, very enjoyable. And I would expect nothing less from the best casual dining restaurant around. read more

Hadn't been to Lazy Dog in a whileeee! But my boyfriend and I decided to have dinner here last night (05/28/26) & so glad we did! Kaeden (I don't know if I spelled that right I'm sorry!) was our server and he was fantastic! He was very efficient, knowledgeable and recommended some great appetizers & entrees! That guy was running all of the left side of the cocktail area and made it look easy (coming from a 15+ year experienced server myself lol) anddddd took a graduation party on top of all of that-props to you Kaeden! Because of his friendliness and how great of a server he was, my bf and I will definitely be back soon! (: The restaurant was also VERY clean & the two managers on duty looked very hands on and helpful to their team members. From a server, that's a BIGGG plus! I also wanted to mention- Kaeden notified us that Lazy Dog no longer servers Hush Puppies, Buffalo Cauliflower & Lemon Drop Martinis. (Whyyyyyy are you breaking my heart Lazy Dog those were some of the best items!) Hope they bring them back!! :( Thank you Kaeden & Lazy Dog Brea! read more

It was my first time eating here, and the food quality was solid. The ambience was nice with interesting decorations hanging from the ceiling and small television screens playing a basketball playoff game. They have a big menu, and our server patiently waited for us to browse our options. She also asked among our group if it was our first time visiting the restaurant. As a complimentary appetizer for welcoming us, we got some tasty seasoned potato chips. They have a fifteen-dollar deal for a set with select entrees and desserts. I got the barbecue bacon ranch burger and banana pudding. You could upgrade the burger's side for $2.50, but I wouldn't recommend that given the small portion size. For example, I upgraded to onion rings and only got about six. The burger meat quality was great. At medium rare, it was juicy and flavorful; I also appreciated the burger's large portion size. However, the sauce made the burger soggy; it was a little difficult to eat without using a lot of napkins. I thought the banana pudding was decent. It included some wafers, so it was a little more filling than expected. The other option was a s'more brownie sundae, which sounded a little too chocolatey for me. It would've been nice to have a vanilla option with the deal. Overall, it took a long time for me to decide on an entree, but the burger was a decent and safe choice. While I haven't eaten burgers from many other restaurants, I do look forward to trying out those that specialize in them. read more

Wanted to add the lemon pepper tots to my review. These are such a delicious appetizer! It's great to share because there's enough to go around and you don't wanna spoil your dinner. The flavor is there and the tots are pretty crispy! I was skeptical at first but my husband wanted to try them and we were both impressed! read more

Went in for Valentine's Day, had a reservation and got seated about 5-10 mins after which felt pretty fast since there was a lot of people waiting to get seated without reservations. Our server was super nice and was fast with the food/drinks. I didn't need to ask for a refill, he just came and re filled when he saw we were low. The food was really good. I really enjoyed the rice and beans. My boyfriend said the steak and dipping was really good as well. Prices are not bad. I would recommend coming here! They also have a bar area which was pretty cool. read more

Went there for the first time tonight 6/30/26 with our 2 beautiful dogs one weighs 4 lbs the other 12 lbs mini poodle and reg poodle. The waitress was so nice and made us feel welcome. The manager should be fired, I'm not going to go into the details but he has a terrible attitude and enjoys giving intimidating looks to his guest. He's lucky I am a refined gentleman or it could have been very painful for him. read more

We've been going to Lazy Dog from time to time and generally enjoy it for its variety and casual vibe. This visit, we decided to try something a little different. We ordered the three starters for $25, which felt like a good deal. We like the Hot Honey Feta Dip served with grilled herb French bread. The dip was creamy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the bread, think it was the most impressive dish of the meal. The brussels sprouts and tikka masala meatballs were fine but fairly standard, nothing particularly memorable. Our kid ordered the cheeseburger with fries from the kids' menu. It was also pretty standard, but the portion size was generous and felt like good value. The entrées were a bit disappointing compared to the appetizers. The rice that came with the teriyaki chicken was dry and hard, and the kebab meat wasn't anything special. Service was okay. Staff were polite, but it was hard to get someone's attention when we needed help. We've been here many times, Lazy Dog is still a spot we'll come back to. The menu has enough variety and value that it works well for our family, and when they get it right, it's really enjoyable. read more

5 stars /End I would give 6 stars if i can. Ok...onto the reasons. Creativity. If you ask me a proper modern American restaurant, found in this diverse Socal, what would i expect. Lazy Dog is my answer. On their menu, they have Kebab, Bibimbap and schnitzel plus the usual. Fish n chip, Burger and what not. The pricing was great for what it is and service is awesome. The food?

Nice standard Lazy Dog experience. The seating and ambience is nice. The place is family friendly and accommodating of children including needs for stroller placements. The food is standard Lazy dog good. Our preference has always been that the small bites are better. It has been a great option that they have a 3 small bites for 25 options. The entries are good, except the rice is on the dry side. I would skip the Asian inspired entries with rice. Overall great all around and avoid the Asian rice dishes. read more

Food is good, with the exception of my order coming out incorrectly. The server was rude from the beginning, never even introduced herself. Bumped my chair 3 times, never said a word. Then when my food came out wrong, my husband heard her mutter a rude statement under her breath. She just kept cutting me off and removed my plate when I was still eating. Horrible experience and customer service. Have a photo of the receipt. read more

The service is great! Very attentive and answered all my questions. I asked for the salad chopped, not chopped, and the chicken was in huge chunks. I think they might have been short staffed in the kitchen. And my coworker got the wrong items on her salad. Ive had good meals here in the in past, so id probably come back. Plus the lemon pepper tots are 10/10 read more

Went w/ a friend I haven't seen in years! Our server was great... answered questions, made suggestions, & let us take our time chatting & catching up. The place wasn't too busy or too loud for a Wednesday at 6:30. Twas perfect for some fun girl talk! The portions are generous & the food we got was tasty! She was craving mashed potatoes, so the pot roast w/ mashed potatoes on the side was perfect for her. I ended up getting the Thai noods w/ a wedge salad to start - I was not disappointed. The wedge salad was great... already sliced up wedge, onions, tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles - YUM! The Thai noodles were pretty delicious too. read more

Wonderful atmosphere and friendly staff. We were seated right away and our server was very attentive. Unfortunately I didn't write down his name, but he was an Asian man in his 20's or 30's with longer hair. We went on August 22nd, so this review is late. Everyone enjoyed their food.

Never a bad experience coming to this Lazy Dog!! Absolutely love their new Fireside special for $15 all day! Normally we come for their awesome happy hour but we just missed it only to find this awesome all day deal. You get your choice of entree as well as a choice of desert. I got the Mediterranean Chicken salad, which was simplely made but honestly delicious and exactly what I was feeling! My wife got the Fettuccine Alfreado with shrimp which was good as well. For desert you get the option of Brownie with Ice cream or Banana Pudding and we both decided on the brownie. Definitely the right choice, as it comes with a melted marshmallow and chocolate in a little cast iron. The restaurant is clean and the wait staff was on it and handed their servers break excellently without skipping a beat. Would definitely recommend coming in for their awesome happy hour! read more

Great alternative to BJs or Yardhouse and they have a wide range of options to choose from. Service was great as well. New York Steak was surprisingly good, as I do not expect to eat decent beef outside of a steakhouse. Though I asked for medium rare, and it did come out a bit overcooked.. but still tender and luckily not dry. The green beans and mashed potatoes were also very flavorful. Overall 7.5/10 Hibiscus Margarita was too sweet and pretty much juice 6/10 Love that they have an outside patio and is dog friendly! Bring your pups! read more

The burgers at Lazy Dog are seriously underrated. Everything tasted super fresh, the patties were juicy, and the flavors were on point. You can tell they put real effort into making a solid burger, not just something basic. The buns were soft but held everything together perfectly, and the toppings were balanced; not overdone, just right. Every bite was really good. Service was quick and friendly, and the overall vibe made it an easy, chill place to just enjoy a great meal. read more

Stopped in for late night happy hour after going to a nearby neighborhood known for their Christmas lights. They had a decent selection of bar bites and we kinda ordered a little of everything. My favorite item was probably the chicken tinga quesadilla, it was encrusted with Parmesan and sooo perfectly cheesy! Our server, Jacob, was very attentive throughout our visit.
