    Lemon chicken, was just grilled chicken...
    Krissy B.

    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.

    Baja California veggie burger with Cajun fries
    Rachel P.

    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.

    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!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance - loved the enclosed patio when it's cold outside, heated, warm fireplace in the middle[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service - excellent service until we asked for the check and our server never came back with it Food - spicy tuna crispy rice (tuna was fresh, rice was extra crispy, personally felt like there was too much sauce)

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Bibimbap
    Analyn T.

    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.

    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.

    Outdoor patio
    Maddi V.

    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.

I requested our group to be placed in a corner since we were dining in with 2 kids and an infant who would be sitting in a stroller. She had said they were fully booked and a different party needed the table I was eyeing since they would be coming in with 3 strollers. I was there from 9am-11am on a Friday and it was not packed nor did a family use the table I wanted while I was there. No one came in with 3 strollers either. Aside from that, I was trying to be helpful so the stroller wouldn't get in the way of customers and wait staff. The host basically made it harder for them, not me. I started with the hazelnut oat mocha and this was delicious. This was the highlight of my time there. For food I tried the Shakshouka and it was not good. The pouched eggs were not cooked. From my pictures - it looks like the eggs were cracked in the dish and the chef called it a day. I didn't chance eating it, I ate the pita it came with and left very hungry. I'm giving Beatrix a generous 2 due to the space being beautiful and my latte being great. Unfortunately this is not a spot I'll be returning to.

So make sure you're paying close attention to your GPS when you're heading there. The good news is it's located in a mall area, so there's plenty of parking, which makes it very convenient. The atmosphere is not overly upscale, but it definitely still gives fine dining energy. The low lighting creates a more intimate vibe, making it a great place for a date night, dinner with friends, or even a relaxed evening meal. The food is consistently good, and the drinks are always on point. This time I ordered the baby back ribs with mashed potatoes, and it was my first time trying that dish there.
