Our service from Caleb was fantastic! He was on point with his descriptions and recommendations Super patient but very efficient juggling his tables. We tried new entrees based on his suggestions and were not disappointed! The ribs are great as well as the Loco Moto fried rice-the edamame is our new fave appetizer. Our dinner was very enjoyable and our service from Caleb was excellent... read more

Sitting at the bar at Lazy Dog is always a good time when Sierra and Vegas are working. They're just genuinely friendly people. :) Always smiling, always making everyone feel welcome. I end up smiling too, very single time. They make the place feel like somewhere you actually want to hang out. Highly recommend this place. read more

It was super good got a pbj burger and our server Caleb was super cool maybe just a little more peanut butter in the burger but otherwise everything was awesome read more

We frequent this location pretty often! Consistent food, good drinks and cozy atmosphere. You know exactly what you're getting when visiting this location. Came here to drop a compliment to Hunter, who was working in the bar. His service was excellent and he is extremely friendly. He has the balance of professionalism and friendliness down, something that is rare. I've been in the same industry for years now and I like to pay it forward when I come across a great employee. Hunter is great at what he does and we appreciate his service. This location is lucky to have him! read more

Honestly, this was the worst restaurant service I've ever experienced. We waited over an hour just to place our food order. Our waiter deliberately kept skipping our table and later claimed he "assumed we were done ordering," even though all we had ordered was one appetizer and one drink for our entire table. The most frustrating part was watching him repeatedly check on every other table while continuing to ignore ours. I could understand if the restaurant was packed, but it wasn't busy enough to justify this level of neglect. The service was completely unacceptable and ruined the entire experience. I would not recommend this location to anyone unless you enjoy waiting forever just to order your food. If I could give this place zero or negative stars, I absolutely would read more

Came to location with reservations for 4. Dinner prior to local concert. Made our orders which included 2 chicken pot pies. Eventually manager came to our table and advised us that there ran out of the pies. We ordered other items. The manager apologized and offered us 2 pies later that evening , after the concert. The chicken pot pies were complimentary and "to go" in two bags. One for each couple. We made the concert on time and did get the pies thanks to outstanding customer service. This will continue to be our go to location for dinner prior to local concerts or events. read more

It's been awhile since I've been to lazy dog and I've always gone to the location in Brea. We came around 9pm and our server Carla was sweet. This review is solely for the host and I believe the bartender? We walked in and we got directed by the bartender to sit at a long booth. We were confused but followed him to get seated anyway. We then went to talk to the host and she gave us a weird look as if we shouldn't have followed him when we didn't even know ? Instead of helping us out and do her job, she was answering our questions with another question, not providing any assistance only her attitude for no apparent reason. Im confused as to why this location has good reviews when the service is slow and everybody looked miserable working here. Food wise, mediocre at best. Not really worth the money. read more

Last minute plans but it was such a great experience/ date night. Service was impeccable and so was the food. We'll definitely be back. read more

Walked in, there were two workers and none acknowledged us. Finally a few minutes later someone else came and helped us out. I told him we wanted outside as long as we had a heater, he sat us outside and just left, never acknowledging the heater. Ambiance was good, a concert ended next door at the Honda center and it started getting busy. Im only giving it 3 stars just because our waitress was great!! Very nice and friendly, she made sure the heater was on and working for us. She was also very attentive with our food and making sure we had everything we needed. I got the chicken tongs quesadilla 10/10 and my boyfriend got the all American burger and that was a 10/10 too read more

It's been a while since I've dined here. My ribs were pretty good. I like that they were kinda fatty. I chose the sweet route instead of BBQ. I asked for my fries to be extra crispy and they came out crunchy and lightly seasoned so that was good. BF had a bison burger and said it was delicious. I just wish they offered complimentary bread and butter like other similar restaurants. read more

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar - Ribs | IG @moniquedao - New American Near Me - Orange, California

Visited our family dog's favorite place to eat for his belated birthday! Parking: This spot is located in a busy plaza. There's a large parking lot. Finding a parking spot close to the restaurant is difficult, but you'll definitely find a spot further out. Ambiance/Environment: We visited on a weekend, so of course there was a dinner rush. It was very packed with more people waiting to be seated. We sat outside because we brought our family dog. Since we opted to sit outside, we only waited about 12 min to be seated. The downside of sitting outside are the pieces from the trees constantly falling. Service: Shout out to our server Aiden! He was very attentive by checking on us multiple times. Throughput was surprisingly quick after ordering. We were told the kitchen was slow, but our food came out in a timely manner. Food: We all ordered the Cajun fries to share. I thought the Cajun fries were okay. It has a unique taste than the usual Cajun fries. It's more citrusy than I'd prefer. I ordered the Fried Chicken Dinner for my entree. It came with 2 buttermilk fried chicken breasts drizzled with hot honey, red skin mashed potatoes, sautéed spinach & bacon, and white gravy. The buttermilk fried chicken was fried and seasoned well. The honey made it sweet, and the white gravy gave it extra flavor. The spinach was accompanied by a generous amount of bacon, which I appreciated. Pricing: Prices are as expected $$$ from a supply chain restaurant. Will definitely have to come back to take advantage of their happy hour deals. read more

We came to Lazy Dog this morning around 10:30 am and we were starving! We ordered the mini donuts as an appetizer, the build your own combo and let me just say the service was great and the food more than hit the spot. The portions are large and we ended up bringing my sandwich home. My husband had been here before and he said the food and service are consistently good. read more

We're longtime Lazy Dog lovers, but after they closed their original location in Westminster/HB, we've had to venture out to this location to get our fix. Coming in for brunch on Easter Sunday, we expected it to be crowded. Fortunately we had a reservation but it did take some time for us to be greeted. This particular location always seems to be understaffed, with some waiters either assigned to too many tables or too many large parties at once. Our food and drinks were great as always, though we've noticed portion sizes on some brunch items have definitely shrunk (Cheesy Eggs & Avocado Toast - serving of eggs felt much smaller than before, no longer available with the usual hash brown but tater tots instead). Lazy Dog still remains one of our favorite comfort food spots, we just hope they bring a location back near us. read more

I have been to Lazy Dog before, I've expressed how much I love the menu, specifically the happy hour menu but the service has been questionable before but this is my first time in this location! I loved everything, food was so good but what stole the show was the service, our server Erin was amazing! Erin was so so sweet and everything was on point she was so nice to us and to all her tables around she really redeemed Lazy Dog in our eyes, she gave the best service everrrr! read more

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar *May 6th, 2026 *11:30am- Wednesday *3 Stars Environment: *Moderate Sized Parking Lot *Quick Service *Nice Staff Food/Drink: *Soup + Salad (Chicken Tortilla Soup + House Salad) Came here for a staff bonding meal before heading over to Angel Stadium, and the location ended up being pretty convenient with ample parking and a good distance from the stadium. I ordered the soup and salad combo with the chicken tortilla soup and house salad. Overall, the meal was pretty average. The tortilla soup had good flavor, but I wish the tortilla chips had been served on the side instead of already sitting on top of the soup. It would have been nice to add them in gradually so they could stay crunchy while eating. The house salad was a good portion size and paired well with the soup. Overall, the food wasn't bad, but it also wasn't especially memorable. Still, the quick service and friendly staff made for a pleasant experience. read more

Lazy Dog is everything you'd hope for in an "American Chain" restaurant - you get really tasty food, great sized portions, all for a reasonable price. This location is next to the Honda Center in the Cinemark plaza, making it an excellent choice for a meal or drinks before or after any other activities you're doing in the area. Parking is on the tighter side in front of the restaurant, but there's plenty of other options within walking distance. I normally do takeout, but have had positive experiences when eating at this location as well. My go-tos are the Lemon Chicken Dinner (super flavorful and a high protein option), the $15 Mediterranean Chicken deal (entree + a dessert for $15 is great these days), and their burgers (all great), but honestly there aren't any real "bad" options on their menu. If you're looking for a great takeout option or something to eat before a movie/game, then Lazy Dog is a great option to consider. It's nice to see they've maintained their quality through the years, and continue to find ways to get creative with their menu too! read more

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar is another one of my favorite restaurants in the neighborhood but they can be found all over the State of California. I would say that Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar is a more upscale chain restaurant compared to Chilis or Applebee's and their food for sure is superior compared to the other two, IMHO. The service here is always nice and friendly and it seems that we get seated immediately every time we arrive at the restaurant. Regarding their food, I love their Hamburgers and their Fish n Chips which a reasonably priced. Bon Appetit. read more

I was personally underwhelmed. Extremely limited menu for vegetarians. Overall, the staff was kind and professional. Food was good. Nothing outstanding but it hit the mark.

After watching our first hockey game we worked up an appetite and decided to give lazy dog a try. This was all of our first time dining here and I'm very happy with our experience. First off, the entire staff was so sweet and welcoming, babe mentioned it was our first time here and the manager brought out their signature chips on the house. Service was pretty top tier. The food was very tasty, everything cooked to perfection. I really enjoyed our food. There was a small discrepancy with our bill but our waitress quickly resolve the issues. Overall I have nothing but good things to say about Lazy dog and look forward to coming back soon. read more

this place is pretty decent! I've been here a few times and it's not so bad. I wasn't sure what to expect but the service here is always great! I love the crispy deviled eggs, but I'm not a fan that it only comes in four pieces! I tried a few of their beers and they were all pretty good so I definitely recommend doing a flight to find what your favorite would be. I haven't brought my dog yet, so I'll definitely update my review when my pup tries their dog menu! read more

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar - Crispy Deviled Eggs and Tikka Masala Meatballs - New American Near Me - Orange, California

Bottom Line Up Front: As a large restaurant chain, Lazy Dog will deliver good (but not great) food for high-ish prices. The cool thing about this franchise is that, as the name implies, it's canine-friendly so you can bring your pup (and sit outdoors) and order them food, too. We've visited several Lazy Dog locations in the past, but this review will focus on our last visit to this specific spot in Orange. The Food: We ordered the cheeseburger off the kid's menu and the Inside Out Quesadilla from the Larger Shareables section of the main menu. Despite it being for children, the kid's cheeseburger was basically a full-size burger, which itself was well done and rather dry and boring. But the fries were crispy and tasty. The Quesadilla, while far from being authentic, was packed with gooey cheese and had a nice seared layer of crispy cheese on the outside. Since this was from the Larger Shareable section, it could have fed two people who wanted a light dinner. For drinks, we got the Tropical Sparkling Refresher (OJ, pomegranate, coconut-pineapple cream, and mint) and a Coke with Grenadine (to make a Cherry Coke clone). My wife loved the former drink (though it was a little too tart for me) while the latter hit the spot even if it wasn't officially a Cherry Coke. The Service: Our server was pleasant and knowledgeable with solid recommendations. However, she seemed overloaded with a lot of tables and didn't return too often. Plus, our handheld Clover payment device gave us an error code; it required her to disappear for a while to reset our bill and place it on another device. I don't fault her for any of this and suggest that management beef up staffing and do a better job maintaining their equipment. The Location: The restaurant was clean, well organized, and beautifully decorated. It has an outdoorsy theme and, of course, plenty of dog paraphernalia. The Parking: Arriving at 7:40 p.m. on a Tuesday night, we expected the dinner rush to have passed. But the parking lot was nearly full. This was probably due to the patrons of the Cinemark Century movie theater next door, along with several other restaurants in the same Stadium Promenade shopping complex. So expect it to be packed if you're going during peak hours or on the weekends. The Conclusion: Whether you're a canine lover or not, Lazy Dog will satisfy you as long as you are prepared for premium prices for above-average food. But if you're expecting Michelin-star quality or affordable prices, you might be barking up the wrong tree. read more

Nice restaurant for family gatherings. Our waiter was wonderful. The food varied in taste and deliciousness. The edamame for instance - it's probably the best edamame I've ever had anywhere! Like absolutely fantastic! The flavor was finger, licking good!!! 10 out of 10 for presentation too! The fish and chips, on the other hand, was average and forgettable. Decent for sure. The chicken tikka masala meatballs was definitely a very unique and interesting dish. It was good. The drinks were good. The service from our waiter was phenomenal! Very attentive, great personality and wonderful sense of humor! read more

My wife and I recently came and bought tomato soup from this location and found a metal object inside the soup. On top of that, the soup had a strong chemical taste that made us feel uncomfortable continuing to eat it. We contacted corporate about the issue and never received any response, which was extremely disappointing given the seriousness of the situation. Finding a foreign metal object in food is a major safety concern, and the lack of communication afterward only made the experience worse. We hope this issue is taken seriously so it doesn't happen to someone else. read more

This was the end of a lovely day with my lady friend. She got a mocktail that had strawberries, and jalapeño peppers. I had ice tea. We got candy bacon, cheese curds, Brussel Sprouts, and deviled eggs to share. After that she had chicken pot pie, and I had fried chicken. We had the cookies for dessert. This was the first time my friend had cheese curds and I'm happy she liked them. Candy bacon is addictive. You can eat it like chips while watching a game on TV. I love deviled eggs, and can pop those like candy. We both thought the sprouts had to much of a vinegar taste. My friend enjoyed her chicken pot pie, and took some home for breakfast the next day. I plowed down my fried chicken. The cookies were very good but we should have gotten iice cream to go along with it. Everything was wonderful, and the service was excellent. read more

My kids insist on Lazy Dog every couple of weeks, but the Irvine location usually has a long wait so we sometimes drive further to the Orange location since it's less popular (I guess for a reason). Overall, Lazy Dog has gone down in food quality over the years, but this Orange Location is particularly bad. The previous few times, it was noticeably worse than the Irvine location, but the last time we went, the food was barely edible. I got the pot roast sandwich (which I usually get) and the meat was so dry I just pulled it out of the sandwich and ate the bread. The tater tots were also very dry from sitting out. My wife ordered a fried chicken sandwich and the chicken was hard as a rock. She took a few bites and had to remove the meat and just eat the bread too. My kid's burger was dry as well, but he's under 2 so he didn't complain. And the other two kids' mac n cheese was overcooked, but that made it mushy, so they still liked it. The food was all either overcooked and/or sitting out for a long time before being brought to the table, but it's weird because the waitress kept going back to check why it was taking so long. At one point after dropping off the food, the waitress asked how the food was tasting and I said "ehhh" and she just walked off. I could have been more assertive and clear about the problem, but we had waited so long for the food and we needed to get the kids home for bed, so we didn't have time to sit and wait for it to be remade. The receipt had a survey, so I filled it out. They contacted me quickly with a generic response and told me they would send me a voucher in a separate email as an apology. They sent me a $10 coupon. HAHAHA. I didn't even want a refund or I would have complained on the spot. But I would have appreciated a genuine response to show that they actually care about the food they put out since I eat there 2-3x a month at ~$100 each trip. But a canned email and a $10 coupon?? haha. What a slap in the face. The sandwiches were $22 and $23 each. The bill was $100 after tip. A $10 coupon benefits Lazy Dog only (they will still make $60 profit). I take all the risk to give them another chance. $10 barely covers 40% of the cost of one menu item. Or half of the tip. And it can't be combined with other offers. I'm sure I could find another 10% off coupon somewhere. Again - it's not about the money, but the canned "sorry, here's $10" apology" in response to genuine, detailed feedback from a regular customer tells so much and now it makes sense why lazy dog has gone to crap. They don't care any more - even at the corporate level. Sorry kids, we're not going to any lazy dogs any more after this. Hopefully you like Cheese Cake Factory - the other place with 100 menu items and Kraft Mac n Cheese, but still cares about their product. read more

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar - Cowboy Ribeye Burger - New American Near Me - Orange, California

One of the best late-night happy hours around. If you're stopping by, it's a must to Cowboy Up--beer and a shot is the way to go. I usually pair it with the All-American Burger and lemon tots, and it never disappoints. Simple, satisfying, and exactly what I'm looking for with a cold beer in hand. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel like a regular, even if it's your first visit. Before I know it, I've settled into a seat, caught a game on one of the big screens, and somehow talked myself into another round. The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out. The interior feels like a massive cabin tucked away in the woods, with plenty of space, big screens, and a lively crowd that keeps the energy up without feeling overwhelming. Great food, cold drinks, friendly staff, and a fun atmosphere. read more

Service was fast! My friend and I got the 3 small plates for $25: chicken baos, Cajun fries, and the chili cucumbers.

The baos were not bad but I think I would try something else next time. read more

Chicken pot pie, nachos, tots with lemon pepper and enough Watermelon Margs to wash it down. Will come back and make this our mainstay again for pre movie snacks. read more

We came here before attending a concert at the Honda Center. We didn't make reservations because we didn't think it would be that crowded but I guess everyone had the same idea ... to eat here before attending the concert. The hostess told us it was an hour wait so we wandered to the bar. No seating either. We went back to the front and now there was a guy working the front. We asked him about seats and he said if we don't mind the patio area ... he can seat us there. Not sure why the hostess didn't offer that option when we first asked. Once seated ... we ordered a margarita and a beer from the happy hour menu. My margarita was good. For food we ordered the Braised Beef Birria Noodles and the Pot Roast Beef Dip. I didn't like my birria noodles. They were too soggy for me. They didn't have a lot of birria meat. There was just too much sauce in it. The pot roast beef dip was good. It was flavorful. The portions for both entrees were a good size. Service was great. Our server was attentive. We actually really liked sitting outdoors. It was pretty out there. This is my go to place whenever I attend anything at the Honda Center. read more

My husband and I ate here last night and I ordered the tomato soup. From the first bite I thought it had a strange chemical taste, but I wasn't sure if it was just because of the other foods I had eaten, so I took the soup home as leftovers. Today I tried eating it again and it still had the same chemical taste. Then while eating it I found a thin metal piece that appeared to look like part of a scrub pad or cleaning material inside the soup. Finding something metallic in food was concerning and completely changed my experience. I hope the restaurant takes food preparation and quality control seriously so this doesn't happen to someone else. read more
