    Long wait for the table in the patio and the service was extremely slow. Shouldn't sit in the patio area if you don't like dogs. I had the fish tacos and really enjoyed them. The sangria was good. I also really liked the beer sampler. If you sign up for the $35 membership, you can receive 12 cans of beer , a cup, and $35 off your next purchase

    Finally got around to this place after trying their (amazing) take-home TV dinners a family member brought home! The atmosphere is very welcoming and lively. The menu is super expansive and full of many different flavors. The chicken lettuce wrap appetizer was satisfyingly fresh and savory. Our entrees consisted of hot and doughy West Coast BBQ pizza sticks and an unforgettably juicy Bison Burger alongside with the unique Umami fries. Will definitely be coming back again to try the other endless options.

    We love this location! It has become our Sunday brunch staple. We've come here for dinner too and the food is great every time. We love the breakfast quiche, breakfast burger, breakfast burrito, fish and chips, and the list goes on. And we love their homemade sauces! Even bought a bottle of the hot sauce to take home. Can't wait to try the Naperville location.

    This place has been our family favorite. But today i was disappointed when the host at the front desk was very very rude in seating us. This time we went with our friends telling then its an amazing place. In addition, i am part of the Beer Club which Lazy Dog claims to give Priority seating. We went on 8.11.22 at 8.30 pm. I don't know the name of the host but she was not smiling at all and was rude too in talking. She was not pleasant at all. And, my friends were making fun of me saying that i was boasting about this place and see how the host is - non - smiling and rude. Anyways, the food as usual was up to everyone's satisfaction. My friends liked the food and the drink. Just not that Host.

    We went here for lunch on Father's Day. It was a nice experience; the food was good and the staff was very kind. They were very busy, and the bathrooms/restaurant could use some extra attention to cleanliness.

    We arrived on vacation from Massachusetts today, and picked this restaurant because their starters and small plates sounded AMAZING! We quickly were placed at a table, but thengetting discouraged….Then Jesus came over and he waited on us and within minutes we had our drinks and starters! The fastest service we have probably ever had!! Drinks and Food was DELICIOUS!! Loved the Deviled Eggs!!! We even joined the beer club!! This restaurant, and GM Jim are lucky to have Jesus!!! He has a great personality, and is even greater at his job!! Thank you Jesus and Jim for a great first experience in Chicago!!!

    Really good! I want to definitely try more of the food but I got the sweet ribs and umami fries and a bloody Mary (wish the drink had bacon but good and spicy). My friend got fish and chips and he loved all of it! All reasonably priced too- wasn't a huge fan of the ribs but definitely want to try their wings

    Shockingly my first time! If you're looking for something chill and laid back, this is your spot. They have a huge variety of food so I'm sure you'll find something you enjoy! My favorite was the fried deviled eggs. I've never had fried before and they were really good! Also loved their spicy margarita. I would say to definitely come for drinks here but the food is pretty average. However if bar food is what you're looking for, this is for you!

    I love this restaurant!! Met ozzy for the first time. Her attentiveness is remarkable. She works hard, very deserving of a good tip in thanks. Not often I meet a server who's earned over 18% (of meal cost) of my hard earned money. I will definitely request her to serve my table when I'm back in town!

    Buttermilk had a long wait, so we decided to try here for lunch. The patio is open for dogs, so that was cute. Meghan with the H was our server and she did a great job. She gave us time to look over things and helped with menu decisions. She stopped by to check in to make sure everything was okay too. The pineapple coconut water drink was meh. I asked for extra mint, but it mostly tasted like dole pineapple juice from the can. Expensive for what it was. The calamari app was interesting. It came with brown rice option, which I liked. The calamari is fried, but because of the sauce, not crispy. It was kind of mushy on the outside. Not my favorite texture. The sauce was good. Big enough to be a meal itself. The bowls were great. If they had a brown rice option, that would be awesome. The tuna was fresh and the quantity was good. The chicken was also crispy and hot. The pickle salads on both were yummy. The banana pudding we took to go. It’s small for the price, but it was yummy. All in all. Taste was okay. The price of the drinks and dessert were not great for the amount we got. Meghan with and H was a great server.

    Went with some colleagues and we ordered several appetizers. My favorite was the octopus legs, the cauliflower and eggs were nothing special. I did enjoy the strawberry aperol spirtz, although the second one I ordered had a ton more syrup and strawberries. Finally, the salmon bowl was a huge dissapointment, the salmon was served cold on top of the salad, and the amount of sauce provided was so small... The restaurant music and noise was too loud to even hear what the person's next to me conversations.

    Great first experience! Loved the food and my vegan and vegetarian friends were happy I chose a place that gave them more options than salad. Strong service good vibe. Try the lumberjack tacos!

    Good place. We have been waiting like 30 minutes to be seated. Only one thing was bad it’s under table was a lot of garbage. Also cocktail was not good. Steak was very, very tasty, recommend try it.

    Beautiful restaurant with delicious food! Came here with a rather large party (reservation) and they were incredibly quick with our service and bringing out our food after we ordered. The waitstaff was fantastic, charismatic, kind (and fashionable!) and the food was fantastic. We had a lot of different diets and they were very accommodating.

  • 5/5 Andrew F. 8 months ago on Google
    I was actually blown away by how much I loved the food at this restaurant. We both started out with a cup of the chicken tortilla soup, which was delicious and hearty. I ordered the fried chicken dinner and I was so pleasantly surprised by how good this was. The breading drizzled with maple syrup and those mashed potatoes. Most mashed potatoes from chain restaurants are bland and dry, these were fresh, creamy, flavorful, and had the red skin still on them. I’m not a spinach fan, so I subbed that out for the green beans which was an excellent substitute. I highly recommend this restaurant. Go good!

    I had the Korean Ribeye bowl and my husband had the sweet and spicy chicken. We tried each others dishes and they were both tasty. Being open later in the evening was a plus for us as most restaurants were closed by 10. Our server Alex was really nice and made good recommendations for us as it was our first time eating there. We will be back :)

    Great food that comes out quick & hot! Would recommend fish&chips & black+blue burger. Our waitress Debbie was awesome! She was super friendly, so sweet to our dog, & checked on us frequently to see if we needed anything. We love that the restaurant has a dog friendly heated patio & a dog menu for our boy Finley.

    The food is always great here. Some meals can be pricey, but you get what you pay for; flavor and quality. OZZY took such good care of my group and was quick and attentive. The atmosphere and ambiance is always very welcoming. Can’t wait to come back!

    Delicious quality food. I had the walnut chicken salad sandwich, it was a good serving. The table also has the chicken cordon blue and the chicken work with teriyaki sauce. Everything was so very good. Definitely will be back. The service was also good. Can’t complain.

    I have many great things to say about this spot. My personal preference environment lies with the feel of mom and pop’s businesses. I landed here in a whim and boy am I happy to have landed here. The beer is fire, but the service is chefs kiss. The managers were out cleaning tables, and that tells me they are part of the team. Love seeing it. The food is fantastic and inclusive of vegetarian fare. Which is hard to find. They even have a menu for your pup. They pup said 4 paws up for the brown rice hamburger meal. If you do decided to check them out and you are local, I highly recommend becoming a beer member. The deal is unbeatable and like I started with, the beer is fire!

    Lisa Osborne was a great server! She offered suggestions and offered alternatives if we didn’t like it. She checked on us frequently and was an all around nice person who seems to really care and it shows. We will definitely be back and we will bring our dogs! The food was excellent! 5 stars!!
