    surf and turf ... really good!  Maybe some extra sauce o min the side?
    Patrick P.

    We came in tonight for an early dinner. It was a little bit before 5 PM and I think they just weren't ready for guests yet. It took them a while to figure out seating us even though there was no one they're eating. Once they got that figured out everything was great. The food was wonderful. The atmosphere was nice and chill as well. I would definitely come here again! I gave it a four star instead of five because it was just a little offputting when they couldn't figure out sitting us down. Update ... we will definitely come again!

    Chicken sandwich
    Caryna F.

    I was having my car serviced nearby, and required some sustenance. I saw the positive reviews for Lost Dog, so walked over to get a bite. It was after the lunch rush, and service was great. We were well taken care of. The decor is lovely. Lots of cartoonish artwork depicting dogs and Fairfax history. Fun and cute. The menu is large, mostly sandwiches and pizza. Also, a selection of salads and a couple of soup options. I ordered the half salad, Greek, and a bowl of the chicken corn chowder. The salad was fresh and the greens were nice. The soup had very fresh corn and nice cubes of chicken. The broth was very tasty and homemade. My daughter ordered a chicken sandwich, which she liked as well. I'd love to come back to try their pizza. I'm guessing it's pretty good! I recommend this place for casual dining and light fare. It was the middle of the afternoon, so I'm certain this place is hopping in the evening after work.

    Love this place! They have the best subs and pizza . Great customer service and great variety of food

    A nice place to grab a beer and a bite (been coming here occasionally since 2013)... not to mention that the indoor mural artwork is great and creative! Just hope to see more craft beers added to the menu (can never have too many), and tater tots would be a nice addition to the appetizers, as well as chicken wings in my opinion. Cappuccino would also make a great drink to have with dessert! Update: There is one thing I have been very disappointed in lately. I sent about 2 or 3 emails to the customer service email address, and I received no response at all! I also spoke to a manager at this particular location (Dunn Loring), suggesting that they should order some South African craft beers (since South African beers are very hard to find here), because I know of a distributor that has them. The manager told me that my idea was a good idea, but I have never received any kind of follow-up, whatsoever...

    Tuna melt
    Lily F.

    We've been wanting to come here for awhile now and finally made it one afternoon. Walking in you're immediately greeted with a lot of funky artwork. I stared absent-mindedly while I waited for our lunch trying to make sense of some of the art. Why is that dog wearing pants but the one next to him not? I made a major mistake when I decided to go rogue and order a sandwich that I created. I essentially wanted a tuna melt and made the mistake of not getting extra mayo on it and so it ate extremely dry and bready with cold tuna that wasn't really warmed up. But again, my mistake. I should have went for one of the pre-made sammies like the boyfriend did. Because after taking a few bites of his El Paso Pup, I was sorely jealous. It was very tasty. Ugh, so much food regret. I will definitely come back and try their other sandwiches as there's so much to choose from. And the brews like great too. I'm sure it would be against many kinds of food and safety regs but I really wanted to see dogs running around.

    We enjoyed the Giddy Up Goat Pizza, very delicious. The 50 percent off Wine Thursdays is another great aspect of Lost Dog Cafe and all of the dog murals are wonderful and their great cause devoted to dog and cat rescues. Very enjoyable dine.

    Solid pizza. Old school crust. Lots of options. A few notes: all of their plain salads are basically the same with Greek having a little feta. Even the Caesar has olives and tomatoes. Anyway... friendly staff.

    $10 slice of pie.  This is a crime!

    Ordered food through Uber Eats and this is the $10 slice of peanut butter pie that was delivered. It is so tiny that I'm sure that they probably get 16 slices out of a single pie. That's $160 they charge for a pie. Edit: The business owner's response is pretty lame; take some ownership to the issue.

    Howling Hound Salad
    David H.

    I'm a big fan of their mission to support rescuing area dogs and cats. Otherwise, this place is just okay but nothing special. Their salads are okay (I usually have the howling hound) but nothing amazing and same for the sandwiches. The waffle fries are pretty good but the onion rings alternate between tasty and way too soggy. They have trivia on Sunday nights which is fun but the layout in the bar area is kinda awkward and it's hard for more than maybe 2-3 people to really sit together to play on a team. They do have a good beer selection and the staff is really friendly. I come here occasionally and hope they're around for a really long time since I like their mission a lot but overall it's just an average place.

Drinks from the bar took quite a while to arrive, and there was also a long wait for our food to come out of the kitchen. I ordered the chicken fajitas, and they were definitely the highlight of my meal--hot, sizzling, nicely grilled, and very flavorful. Others in our group also enjoyed the generous portions of wings, fresh salads, and the jambalaya, so the food overall was very good. The restaurant has a fun, energetic vibe, but it was so loud that it was difficult to carry on a conversation at our table. One other downside was parking. The lot is fairly small and shared with three different restaurants, so finding a spot was frustrating. I'd come back because the food was good and the staff was genuinely friendly, but I'd hope for faster service and a better parking experience next time.

For the couple times I've been here, the bartender has always been very informative, walking me through the beers on tap without my asking. The beer list is solid, and I had to try the Raspberry Beret imperial stout - the flavor was unique and the raspberry very notable. If you're feeling brave, ask about the Sweet Scoville Sting. Seriously spicy, so make sure you taste it before committing. Beyond beer, there's wine, ready-to-drink margaritas and cocktails, and a robust food menu so something for everyone.
