Lazy Dog Restaurant Bar - Brea

I never thought a restaurant called Lazy Dog would be so cool. It was like a huge cabin inside with enormous windows, very comfortable booths and a great bar. The food was excellent and our drinks were fabulous. The service was spectacular. I can't say enough about how surprised I was.

It doesn’t get much better than Butter Cake topped with minted Strawberry compote and a big scoop of yummy Vanilla Bean Ice Cream! The Butter Cake was so delicious!! Of course, Queso to share was a great way to start our meal. So cheesy! The Queso Dip has jack, cheddar, queso blanco, pimento, hatch chiles, cilantro black beans with hand-cut tortilla chips. Super yummy! Baja California Burger : it looked impressive when it came to the table but not my favorite. The bottom of the bun was a little too soggy for me. The half-pound beef patty was cooked perfectly. I love guacamole and hatch chiles but I didn’t love it in this burger. I felt like it needed something to have a little crunch or texture. I couldn’t really taste the roasted jalapeno-lime aioli. One friend got the BBQ Ranch Bacon Burger and loved it! I’ve had it before and it’s delicious. A couple friends ordered the Thai Noodles, which had shrimp, ground chicken, tofu, peanuts, stir-fried egg, bean sprouts and peanut sauce. It was huge! Hard to finish so they took some home. Cozy atmosphere and love the decor. It does get quite busy.

Excellent experience. We took grandma for a birthday dinner and it didn’t disappoint. Grandma has a walker so they seated us right away which I much appreciated. They even parked her walker valet style by the hostess. We had the sweet potato tots and goat cheese with jelly appetizers. Chicken lettuce wraps, blue burger, and pork shoulder for dinner. Add a few margaritas and wine for a delicious meal. We averaged about $50 per person which is reasonable for the quality and quantity of food and beverages. I would definitely go back and try a few other things on the menu.

Was my first time here. They gave us complementary chips which was super sweet. I love their history and how they were a family business from a small town focused on fresh ingredients. The menu is very diverse and if you have dietary restrictions, you’ll probably be able to find something to eat. The portions are not huge but just right. The Thai chicken had great flavor the chicken was a little tough but I think it was because it was white meat, which is healthier but a tougher part of the chicken. Everyone has a great time. I would say expect to spend about $30/ person for food, drink, tax and tip no appetizers.

Stopped by for a quick lunch on our Anniversary and what a surprising delight of great food and customer service. We ordered street corn fries, wings, corn dogs, and a South western fried chicken salad and all tasted great. We're definitely going to come back for a full feast. They even treated us with garlic chips as a welcome to eating here for the first time.
