Disappointed with the server's knowledge of the menu contents, re dairy, gluten. Also she or the runner had to check in the back if desserts on the menu were available. I hestiated to order coffee, but the coffee served tasted like instant. I'm not a snob, but for $5 a cup, it should have at least tasted like Dunkin. The chicken lettuce wrap used romaine lettuce, which doesn't bend around anything. While there was a larger table (10 people) seated, our table had difficulty flagging down the server to make additional requests. The flannel shirts staff wears fit the vibe, I didn't understand who was responsible for what. There were others with red polo shirts, but they couldn't take orders. I was with a group which selected this restaurant, after this experience I will not be a return customer. read more

Ashley is a real one. Love this restaurant! So sad they don't have the sweet potato tots anymore though bring them back!!

Food is pretty solid, this is from multiple times going back. Services is solid. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Space/atmosphere is basic.. what you expect out of a suburban chain restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like that it's dog friendly and has a dog menu[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . Ok, been to this place plenty of times now.. and best thing I've had here is there the fish & chips or the burgers, fried chicken sandwich. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is legit solid.. my dog loved his meal, of course.. went on a Thursday and there have been good amount of dogs on the patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Solid service every time. The happy hour is something I'd for sure come back to. read more

The food was great, and prices seemed average for the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We opted to eat on the patio since inside the restaurant was very loud and crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's worth noting that dogs are welcome on the patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our service was not the best unfortunately. In multiple instances we never received things we asked our server for. We also waited quite a while to order our food because she was chatting with another guest. Even so, we will probably give this place another try on a less busy day, as we went on a Saturday afternoon. They have a really solid veggie burger, and there's no up-charge to substitute, which I always appreciate. I ordered the Baja California burger, which was a really nice combination of flavors. I upgraded my fries for Cajun fries and honestly wouldn't next time. The Cajun spice was not spicy at all and the flavor wasn't worth the extra $2.99. read more

We decided to try Lazy dog after I accidentally cancelled my Valentine's day reservation and wasn't able to get another. We enjoyed the food. The hot honey feta dip had us obsessed!! The wait was a little long (it was a holiday so we understand that) and they gave us a coupon for our next visit so I can appreciate that! 100% will visit again! read more

Here's a clean, polished version you can directly paste: I stopped by Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar after work. I had come with colleagues for a customer meeting, but they had to leave early for the airport, so I ended up spending some time here on my own. Overall, I had a really good experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was quick, and the ambience is warm and inviting--perfect whether you're with a group or dining solo.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My server was attentive and gave great recommendations, which I really appreciated. This was my second visit, and it definitely lived up to my expectations. I would recommend this place and would happily come back again.Food was amazing read more

12/31/25 update: I made a reservation for 7:15 PM and they told me it would only be a few mins. I checked again a little past 7:15 PM. They marked me down that I checked in but they didn't have a table ready for us. Very poor customer service. What's the point of making a reservation if we can't even get seated on time? This isn't fine dining, it's just a casual restaurant. We had an activity planned for 8:30 PM but somehow it seemed like the kitchen would be backed up. This was my third time being here and this will be my last. The first couple times at two locations were great but this third time left a bad taste. They need to do better. read more

I came here with 12 of my coworkers and they were able to get an area set up for us with a reservation. Service was a bit unfriendly, we put in our appetizers with our main dishes because the waiter never came by to put them in after the drink order and he was really grumpy at us. Food was not bad for the value. I got the fireside deal where you get a main dish and a dessert for $15. I ordered the fried chicken dinner and the mashed potatoes were the best part. The veggies were sauted spinach with sweet potato and bacon but it was a bit salty for my taste. I couldn't finish it. The fried chicken was fine, but the breading and the gravy didn't have a lot of flavor. The appetizers were phenomenal. I would come back here just for the apps. We shared the hot honey feta cheese which was savory and sweet and super creamy. The bacon app was spicy and perfectly crunchy. And the cheese curds were really solid as well. Really nice decor and the restaurant is fancy, but service can be slower. They also kept forgetting to bring over my dessert even though I told them early on I wanted a to-go order of the banana pudding when I placed my main dish order. They did make it up by giving me some extra dessert orders, I left with 2 brownies and 1 banana pudding. read more

We were finished shopping at Oak Brook Center and just wanted a few appetizers and drinks. We have been to other Lazy Dog locations in the past but never to this location. It was fairly busy for a Thursday night but we were able to be seated immediately in the bar area. My wife had one of their drink specials and I had a beer. Both were fairly priced. We ordered the Cauliflower Ceviche and Chicken Lettuce Wraps. The ceviche was fresh with homemade chips but very limey. Too much in our opinion. The lettuce wraps were very good but could have used more lettuce for the portion of chicken they gave. All in all,both were pretty good. They offer a huge menu plus Happy Hour specials,so definitely a place for everyone. read more

We stopped in for a drink and appetizers at this Oakbrook location. We sat in the bar area and the whole place was pretty full. Our server greeted us promptly. I was happy to try the seasonal drink special Hibiscus Margarita which had the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I was disappointed that the gluten sensitive menu had no appetizer selection. We ended up sharing the cauliflower ceviche minus the chips for me. It came with guacamole and if you paired the two it was delicious. The ceviche on its own had an excessive amount of lime so the guacamole tamed it. The lettuce wraps were a tasty bite that I would order again but it only comes with four romaine lettuce leaves and the filling was enough for five. Butter lettuce would be an even better choice for this dish. read more

Went back three times while traveling for business. Menu is scratch made with great variety of options at reasonable price. Delicious. Ashley was outstanding with service- she's a pro.

We actually really enjoyed lazy dog as a family! They are extremely kid friendly with crayons/activities, a kids menu and plenty of space. There were many, many, many families dining on a Friday evening, so we fit right in and felt comfortable right away. I felt like prices were reasonable / just about average, and portions were decent. I ordered the crispy tuna small plate as well as the chicken burrito bowl, and had leftovers to take home. The place was BUSY, but service was really keeping up with everyone and we felt taken care of. Was it the most amazing dining experience? I wouldn't say that. Was it perfect for a cozy family right out? Absolutely! We would be back! read more

Food and drinks here are always good. It has a wide dining area, noise level is minimal. I like that! I had the ribeye bibimbap which is really good! My daughter had the fettuccine alfredo which is just ok. The hibuscus margarita is on special - $8! Our server is nice and very attentive. Parking can be tricky... it gets full because it's on a strip of restaurants. We parked by Costco and just cross to the resto. read more

First time to this Lazy Dog location, but I have been to other locations. I came in with a friend during a busy Saturday rush. Thankfully, we were able to snag a seat at the bar. Both bartenders were pretty busy so it was a little wait for some service. However, we were acknowledged by both staff. Drinks were excellent. I tried one of their cocktails as well as one of their mocktails. The jalapeño strawberry mocktail was fun. For dinner, I had the chicken burrito bowl and it was filling. Decent spot with large menu. They have appetizers, salads, burgers, and larger entrees. They also have wide variety of beverages. Give them a try when in the area. read more

This place is the best place if you're looking for something with good quality and less price during happy hour. They have wide variety of food options during happy hour at a reasonable price. The only item from happy hour that I didn't like was Brussel sprouts which was roasted more and dry. Other items like fries, inside out quesadillas, onion rings, house garlic bread are really good. The service is great and the waiter was accommodating our multiple requests and specifications. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like the ambience as it's a big area and felt good place for family dinners.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We had high hopes - the ambiance is amazing, and the outdoor patio is dog friendly and nicely heated, even in the winter. There is a super cute fire place. And, the menu & menu photos online looked stellar. We started with their house made chips (complimentary for first time guests and delivered by a manager welcoming us in, a nice touch but the timing was slow) and French onion soup pastry puffs. Honestly, if our service ended here, it would be a 5 star. While service was on the slow side, these two starters were so good it more than made up for it. The hibiscus margarita, smoked maple bacon old fashion and tequila old fashion were all incredible cocktails. The basil limoncello spritz was okay - strong, and not in a good way. The biggest issue was our steaks. They came out and it was clear that they had just been wasting away in the heat lamp before coming out to us. Both of us had slightly congealed sauces and the potatoes were lukewarm. As I was cutting into my steak, as I got to the middle, it got more and more rare, to the point that the back third of the cut was just blue - seared outside and completely raw inside - not rare, raw. My husband also ordered his medium rare, though his was closer to medium/medium-well. To top it off, our appetizer plates weren't bussed until after we finished our entrees. Not huge in the scheme of things, but an indicator that service was slow and inconsistent. I'm super bummed, because I was hopeful for a dog friendly place to go with fantastic food. And instead, we had inconsistent food and slow service. I can't say I'll be back anytime soon. read more

I love Lazy Dog for all the great food, drinks, and company. I've been to this location several times and while it's not the one closest to me, this location in Oakbrook is the perfect midway spot to meet friends and family driving out west from Chicago. Lazy Dogs are always spot-on, dependable, and have high quality food and service (I've reviewed their Naperville location with a glowing 5 stars) and won't hesitate to do the same for this location. I've spent a Father's Day lunch here with a table of 8 on their covered patio, and met up with an old friend and her mom, whom I haven't seen since college. Lazy Dog holds such special memories for me, for food and people. Twice, I've ordered their lunch special of a half sandwich + salad and got their club sandwich + wedge salad. This might sound ordinary but it is not. I promise you, that you will enjoy this vey much especially if you are a wedge salad lover (snob) and love ordering wedge salads that are fresh and crisp with the most perfect blue cheese crumble and blue cheese dressing. Their drinks are strong and delicious. I especially love the margaritas here, and I always have a wonderful time and lovely meal. They treat their customers like family. Five fantastic stars. read more

Bottom Line: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the rustic, heavy timber, Red Pony vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service/servers pleasant, attentive; however, the prices are not justified by the product. High points: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall environment experiential cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tomato soup solid. Fries nicely seasoned. Burger done properly medium rare. Low points: Disorganized meal service for a party of nine with large gaps in meals coming out but not sure this is on the servers versus kitchen management. Food overall excellently just ok. My dish brought out with fries cold then had to wait more than a few minutes for other meals to come. This can really kill the vibe of enjoying a meal together. Nothing was terrible but neither was anything outstanding given what you're shelling out. But where burgers are 20 bucks, noodle-based dishes are nearly 25 bucks, a meager side of coleslaw is 5 bucks, and drafts are 8 bucks, and that's the less expensive side of the menu, you have to question if this is the best bang for your bucks. In my opinion, Just ok is not ok if you're getting charged a premium because there are too many other non-corporate chain options that still deliver high quality food and experience at reasonable prices. read more

Picked up a few burgers and 2 coleslaws last night , they were ok. The thing I can't believe is you charge 3.50 for a coleslaw that you don't even fill to the top, not even half of a small container! There was no dressing, terrible. I can understand the cost of burgers etc... but cabbage?? It was a total ripoff!! read more

AMAZING service from start to finish! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dog friendly on the patio AND the patio is covered and enclosed![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Before even saying hi to us, they brought out a bowl of water for our pup. [[HIGHLIGHT]]At noon on Saturday it was busy and maybe six others had dogs yet enough space that people and servers could move around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server was super attentive and was accommodating to our picky daughters dislike of grilled chicken and subbed Fried Chicken on their lunch special (made her day). Food was flavorful with plenty of it, price was moderate, in a good way. Everyone left an empty plate so can't think of a better way to say it was enjoyed by all!! There ARE food options for your K9 for those inquiring, we did not indulge as our pup gets overly protective of food, so we can't comment on price, but were offered chicken or beef broth with or without rice. Will be back for sure! Thank you Lazy Dog for a great lunch experience! read more

I had the soup or salad and sandwich combo with a side. The tomato soup was so salty. I tried adding splashes of water to no avail. However, the chicken walnut sandwich and the fries I thought were very good. My sister said she would give 3 stars to her thai noodle plate. The burger and chicken fried chicken meals were good and decently priced. The cocacola was flat. The red hummus w/ veggies was delicious. read more

My family has tried most of the Lazy Dogs in our area, and this location is our favorite. We feel like it's the cleanest, has the best service, and a more comfortable atmosphere. Things we like to order are the hummus appetizers, the kung pow wok bowls, the desert, and the beers. We aren't big fans of the burgers. In the wok bowls, I particularly like the tofu, but beware that they are made like marshmallows-squishy with a gooey inside (I like it but my mom doesn't). The chicken is also really good! Lazy Dog has discounts and free entrees when you register for their program, so check before you go! read more

One of my favorite places to bring our pup and grab some food! Welcoming staff, many drink choices, and delicious food make for an awesome experience! Came for Sunday brunch on the enclosed patio with our pup. She got a VIP experience with some homemade treats and water. Loved that they also had pet friendly meals on the menu too! The patio was super inviting with a cozy fire pit going. The human experience was just as good! The brunch menu was tasty and had seasonal items to try. The drinks were delicious and well balanced. My Bloody Mary was good and spicy! Highly recommend their burgers with the umami fries! The menu has something for everyone, easily accommodating for vegetarians. Looking forward to coming again soon and so is our doggo! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the food and Ambiance at Lazy Dog and have been there a few times over the past several weeks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My neighbor gave me a gift card for my birthday. Since then, a few of my friends get together to visit different places for happy hour. Our group of 4 arrived last Friday at around 515pm to enjoy happy hour, and was optimistic that there would not be much of a wait, considering a majority of the seating was available in the patio and additional seating was available in the bar. Unfortunately, we were told that we had to have reservations for happy hour and that there was no seating available. With Happy hour closing at 6 and the amount of tables available, I had the feeling that they did not wish to bring in more people for happy hour. Unfortunately, I now have a gift card I will not be using, but fortunately, we went across the street, where we had a great time and celebrated there. Over the past couple of days, I've heard other complaints about Lazy Dog. I'm just hoping that these are flukes and this will not ruin a good place. I just know that I will not return to that location. read more

Hi, I usually have a good experience here hence why the 3 stars but last time there were a couple of issues: -I ordered a cup of tomato soup at 11:15am and did not receive any crisps. When I asked later if they were discontinued I was informed that they were not yet made. -I ordered a Cesar salad with chicken. The soup came out within 5 minutes and I waited probably 30 or so minutes for the salad. When I received it the chicken was cold. Im assuming it sat to be picked up for at least 15 minutes. I had a meeting so I couldn't wait for a replacement so I didnt mention it. Hopefully this was a one-time off day. read more

Food was good. A little pricier than expected. Customers & staff were the highlights. We came with a group of moms & daughters, and our neighboring tables were kind and patient. The atmosphere is relaxed and although it was super crowded, we did not feel rushed.

The food was very meh. I got the Thai noodles and they had a really funky aftertaste that was not ideal. The service was okay.

Lunch outing with my 97 year old mom was everything I hoped for! After her Dr. appointment in Oakbrook I googled Lazy Dog for our lunch. I was not sure how far away it was; I knew there was one in Naperville cause I've been there. Oakbrook popped up and right on our way home! She loved the pot roast sandwich and frys and let me tell you my mom is a very vocal food critic! I loved the Chili Crunch Ahi Tuna bowl and was exactly what I needed foodwise today. I've only ate edamame once before 6 years ago and hated it. Today I learned that where I ate it before prepared it all wrong and all these years I've missed out. (I thought it was a tough stringy pod with no flavor). To top it off, our older server was the sweetest gent one could hope for! Sorry I did not get his name. Even more, we sat on the patio with goal of fresh air for homebound disabled mom with hopes of an encounter with a friendly dog or two. Bingo! She got to pet a pooch on its way out. Thank you for making this a memorable moment for mom and I. read more

We went here after a college graduation with a reservation for 12 made well ahead of time. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was very slow, and despite the reservation, they squeezed 10 (thank god we weren't 12 because that spot would have ridiculous for 12) of us into a very tight space that was uncomfortable for a larger group.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I also ordered the lettuce wraps, and they were mediocre at best. Overall, it just didn't feel very organized or accommodating for a reserved party. read more
