    I went here when it first opened and it seems a shadow of its glorious old self. Everything was "okay." Nothing was great. Nothing was bad. Our server was polite and my iced tea was kept filled so high marks for that. The seating is old and caving in. You could feel the supports on your bottom and it was not comfortable at all. I ordered a lunch legion of the Kung Poa chicken and my friend had the luncheon burger. Both were tasty. My portion (and I do not eat a lot for lunch) wa minuscule. 8 little bites of chicken for almost $20 seems a bit outrageous. It did taste good but was not a value at all. It is a good place just not great any more.

    Great staff, attentive and busy on a sunday. Drinks refilled as needed and the sauce options were brought to the table in a timely manner. Sandwich based meals for our party. The baja burger had a decent flavor with a quality meat option. The dipping sauce for the fries also had a good unique flavor as did the sauces (sweet bbq, mustard base, hot, soy base). Don't forget to sign up for their birthday/mailings, ended up with a discount free burger offer the morning of due to signing up for the emails. A little noisy if sat by the prep area the staff works at for food but not unbearable.

    Celebrated Mothers Day lunch here with my party of 5. Boy was it busy!! Waiting area by the hostess stand was packed like sardines. Even with my reservation, we waited about 10 min to be seated. Loved the food! We got 3 small plates/apps for $25 which I think was worth it. We got Cajun fries, edamame, and bacon cheddar biscuits. All good and did the job, but nothing spectacular. We all ordered different dishes, from ribs, steaks and pot roast. I loved my pot roast! Meat was nice and tender. Great comfort meal. Boyfriend substituted coleslaw and got a huge chunk of watermelon. Thought it was weird at first until realized was juicy. Service was good but not memorable; you can tell everyone's going thru the motions of the busy restaurant.

    Our server Britney was great, and the food was perfect. We dined outside bc the weather was so lovely. We didn't bring our dogs bc they are a bit "barky" - but we got to enjoy all the patio dogs, all well behaved...and some enjoying the hearty $5 dog dish. Fun! Food: hubby got the lunch portion of Chicken Parm...he said it was okay. I got a lettuce-wrapped Swiss bacon burger (I need tomatoes on the side) and their delish apple cider vinegar coleslaw. Everything was cooked to perfection, and so tasty. The slaw was just right; not too sweet OR tangy. The flavored tea with an orange slice was refreshing. It was our first time here, but definitely won't be the last.

    Banana pudding it's ok $8

    I had the best bison meat loaf ever here! The gravy was amazing the vegetables were cooked to perfection! The pot roast dinner was also very good. They have a huge menu with lots of choices. The service was fabulous and the restaurant has lots of cute dog decor. We will be back for happy hour deals.

    Nachos

    Went there yesterday for Sunday brunch. We ended up order from the regular menu, first the salmon with brown rice was so good! Tender and tasty! The nachos were not my favorite, I would give it a 3 out of 5 maximum, it was too greasy for me and lacked more tomatoes, guacamole and onions. Their black and blue hamburger was a bomb of flavor! Sooo good. Service was ok, they were pretty busy. Ambiance is nice and welcoming as always with lazy dog.

    Leather Menu! Awesome

    As we continue to come back to Lazy Dog for the great food, Great Service that Brittini gives us and the ambiance. This is one of out favorite restaurants in Temecula. The food is always great and the selection keeps us wanting to try something new. Thank you Brittini for making each visit special.

    Blackened Chicken Burrito Bowl
    Tim A.

    From Chicago, second time at Lazy Dog. Here are some thots: --We had a large group of 12 people. I think our waiter is the best waiter I've ever had. Excellent! --Menu is superb, 4 or 5 things I wanted to try. --I ordered the blackened chicken burrito bowl. It was good, not great. The veggies were soggier than I like them. Overall, I am usually a food first guy when it comes to reviews, but the service was so good, I would highly recommend LD, and try something else next time.

    Incredible burgers all around here

    Lazy Dog is and always has been one of my favorite restaurants to just go relax and have a good meal at... Whether I'm with one of my buddies and we go to watch a game and have a beer and some pub food at the bar, or date night and a good dinner and drink, or this time around. We came down with all the kids for Sunday brunch and it was just a fun relaxed environment with great food and service. Huge range of foods on the menu from great salads and appetizers, burgers and sandwiches, classic hearty meals, or even some Asian foods on the menu. I've never had something here I didn't like. Right now I am all about the ahi tuna salad.. they bring you an extra dressing if you want it for your salad, but I don't ever put it on. The salad is just tossed with the right amount of flavors and I eat it as it comes. Huge bonus said it's only 500 calories. Haven't even had a chance to mention yet that you can join the lazy Dog craft beer club which has an incredible mix of partnerships from many breweries that I'm sure you've been to or at least heard about if you enjoy good craft beer. Love that you can always bring and sit on the outside patio space.

    Cowboy Ribeye burger- yummy!

    Our second visit to this location and they really do things right. Ethan took care of us- even made sure we had a heater since it was getting cold outside. The atmosphere is friendly and caring. Food was good, came out in good time and portions are super generous. We indulged and got desserts which were great too. The butter cake being my fav. Oh and they served food for our dog which is a huge bonus. Overall, great experience and this location, in terms of food and service, is better than a couple other locations of Lazy Dog in So Cal.

    Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Sianne H.

    Overall experience was good! Our server was attentive and very lively, and the food was fine (not the greatest but not bad by any means). We were seated outside because we had a dog, it would've be nice if the outdoor tables had full overhead sun coverage (the majority of our table was directly in the sun by the time we left)

    Brussels Sprouts and Buffalo Chicken Nuggets
    Shawna R.

    It was a cold Friday night in Temecula and I met with some of the family to grab some comfort food. They ordered Brussels sprouts and Buffalo chicken for the table (I didn't eat it) but they all really enjoyed it. I got my go to tofu teriyaki bowl without mushrooms, my sis got the soup and everyone else grabbed a burger. Our waiter was very accommodating and even asked the other waiters to use the other door (we were sat in a booth in the back, the outside patio door was cold chilly air) and since there was no other booths we got stuck there. So yes part of our dinner was met with a wind chill but the other half we were able to enjoy the hot food prepared for our table.

    We were seated immediately. It was a family lunch. There is parking available right across the road,and some metered parking right in front of the restaurant The ambient music was initially very loud. But they responded to our request to turn it down lower. As other lazy dog restaurants, I loved the decor. There are plenty of seats available. We sat inside at a regular table. The lighting Is a little dark. If you're a little older with sight impairment, you might need to use your phone to light up the menu. We ordered drinks first. And they came promptly. I ordered a very pretty drink which was delicious! We ordered cheese curds and buffalo chicken nuggets to share. Food was good and fresh! Around the table, we ordered a variety of food. Everyone said it was good. Also, the menu is new!! I ordered the road trip bowl korean bibimbap. Good as always The refill of drinks took a little longer to come. My mom In law had ordered a refill of iced tea that took so long that she had forgotten she had ordered it. Also, it's got a dog friendly patio. Only service dog allowed inside Overall, a decent place to eat.

    I heard this location is closing, is this true? If so, will this location be open on 8/22/2025?

    Yes, the location is closing on September 10th, 2025 according to an email they sent out. So it should be open on 08/22

    Since it's February its cold outside after sunset, do they offer sufficient outdoor heaters just in case? I'm planning to have my birthday dinner there soon, just don't want to die in freezing cold with my dog and family.

    Yes, they do have outside heaters, and in the summer they have mists. Its great! Happy birthday!

    Do they show the football games on sundays during brunch?

    I'm sorry, I don't know because we ate outside because we had my son's dog with us. All the dogs have to be outside. You should give them a call and see what they have to say. I know you will enjoy your visit - Good Luck

    Do humans ever order off the dog menu for themselves?

    "Woof-woof, yap". (Yes)

    What time is happy hour?

    Happy hour starts at 3

    I've never written a review for a place I haven't personally been to... but Oscar's Brewing Company…read moresomehow earned one anyway. My parents visited Oscar's while they were out in Temecula a few weeks ago, and I am not exaggerating when I say they have not stopped talking about this place since. And apparently neither have the friends they went with. The food? Amazing. The drinks? Amazing. The atmosphere? Amazing. But the thing they keep coming back to is the staff--especially the bartenders. They could not stop talking about how genuinely friendly, hilarious, welcoming, and entertaining everyone was. Weeks later they're still repeating stories and jokes from that night like they just got home yesterday. And this wasn't some neighborhood spot five minutes from their house. They were out there on a little getaway, so for a random stop to become one of the things they remember and talk about most says a lot. My parents are pretty easygoing customers and aren't the type to make a huge production over a restaurant, which is exactly why hearing them rave about Oscar's this much caught my attention. So Oscar's Brewing Company--and especially the crew working that night--thank you. You gave my parents and their friends one hell of a memorable experience. Apparently now I need to make the trip to Temecula myself and see what all the damn hype is about. 5 stars from the people who went--and 5 stars from the guy who's been hearing about it for weeks.

You can tell when someone truly cares about providing a great experience, and Carlie definitely does! She deserves a huge shoutout for her excellent service. We will absolutely be coming back to Oscar's Brewing Company and hopefully we get Carlie again!

So the first thing that bothered me is there is a lot of people waiting outside so it's loud and when they call you to be seated they aren't loud enough so we missed our call after waiting a bit i checked in to find out! 2nd thing Food was not very warm felt like it was sitting a bit so some of our food was room temperature. Food tasted ok. But Portions and cuts were good. Then we went to eat at 630 which is peak dinner time they were already out of baked potatoes and pastrami and some other item. Their mashed potatoes tasted gritty like if they where box mashed potatoes which makes sense with them being out of potatoes. 3rd thing which is their "New Policy" That groups of 6 or more it has to be paid on one card and can Not be split in multiple payments not even split cash and card! So that to me makes absolutely no sense and there are no signs stating this anywhere nor on their site. So overall this place is ok and not really worth what we paid. Definitely won't be back and wouldn't recommend this place to friends.

We stopped for dinner and the did not appear busy. There was plenty of free parking available in the shopping center and indoor/outdoor seating. It was very windy and too cold to eat outside, so we opted to eat inside. There were only four tables to choose from and one bathroom. This became an issue when someone was already using the bathroom, probably blowing it up since it had already been five plus minutes, and both of my kids had to go (we ended up going to Trader Joe's to use the bathroom). The food finally came out. We ordered 2 tri-tip plates, a chicken sandwich, a kids quesadilla w/rice, and 4 drinks. I was concerned about the tri-tip after reading many others complaining about it being overcooked. This was not an issue. The meat came out cooked perfectly, but the pieces were small. The mashed potatoes were good and buttery. The mac & cheese was good and had a nice flavor. The Brussel sprouts were undercooked, hard, and bland. The bread had soaked up the blood from the tri-tip and was soggy gross. The kids quesadilla was literally 2 store bought tortillas and some sprinkled cheddar cheese that wasn't even melted in between. I didn't care for it, but I'm glad my son ate it. Overall, I had high expectations for this place and it was lacking.

We stopped here on the way home from Pechanga while charging our Tesla and since it was in the same plaza, we figured we'd check it out. I assumed it was more of a franchise bakery than a standalone artisan spot, so I came in with pretty low expectations. I was just planning to grab a cinnamon roll, a loaf of their Cinnamon Burst Bread and a quick sandwich for the drive home. To my surprise, their house-made sandwiches are served on freshly baked bread, made with fresh ingredients, and cost under $10 (Panera could never!!!). Their baked goods were also reasonably priced with generous portions. We picked up the Cinnamon Burst Bread, a cinnamon roll, a honey bran muffin (which completely stole the show for me; it was incredibly moist and I'd come back just for that) and an almond poppy seed scone. The service here was just as impressive. Everyone was so friendly and personable and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed being there. I also loved their "Giving Rack," where anyone in need can take free baked goods. It's such a thoughtful idea and says a lot about the kind of business they are. This is easily one of my favorite bakery finds and it'll definitely be a regular stop whenever I'm back in the area.
