Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Downey

We've visited in many occasions for happy hour etc. They have a reverse happy hour here as well from Mon-Friday from 3pm to 6pm & Sunday-Thursday from 9pm to closing. The ambiance here is pretty awesome. A cool rustic cozy log cabin feel & comfy both seating. The food is pretty good as well for what's offered during happy hour, drink specials as well as the road trip menus & take out TV dinners. The selection of desserts rock too. Great service & cocktails. Shouts out to the awesome staff & expert servers (Alley, Julian, Marissa & Ronnie) ust to name a few. Great service. Everyone is super nice & attentive. The Bison 🦬 burger 🍔 was really good, the BBQ Bison bacon wrapped meatloaf served with sautéed spinach, served over a bed of red-skunned mashed potatoes with gravy is always so good. They have an Ahi tuna crunch plate that's really good, the Mediterranean grilled chicken with the yellow cilantro lemon rice with vegetables was yummy. Their happy hour inside out quesdillia is tasty, the loaded potato balls served with tapatio crema 👌🏼. Everything's good. The krispy wings, bacon candy, bacon cheddar biscuits, happy hour burger with Cajun fries, yakisoba noodles 🍜 with caramelized shrimp my niece loved. Their firecracker 🧨 shrimp 🍤 had such a good tasting sauce served on rice paper we truly enjoyed. That smores brownie ala-mode with that vanilla bean Ice cream was to die for a chocolate lovers dream. They had a goat cheese dish that was reveling removed covered in a sweet chili sauce that was very tasty as well. The take out TV dinners were great too. We tried the Shepards pie with blue corn cake dessert. Everything here is pretty tatsy. My husband's favorite beer is the Huckleberry IPA that you can (cowboy up) with a shot of either Jack Daniel's or Jamison during happy hour. I particularly enjoyed their sun spankled ale that is a citrus delight to drink. They have 2 different kinds of Sangria or maybe 3 & a refresher drink that's really good. The cocktails here are super tasty & pair well with the food. The environment is cozy as well as kid friendly. They also have an outdoor patio section that I personally tend to avoid only because I get really cold outside but I'm sure it would be great seating for the summer months. It's just quite chilly for me this time of year but really cozy inside. Idk if I forgot anything or anyone but my family really enjoys this place. They also offer a campfire club & beer club that offers free perks & discounts worthy of taking advantage of. Please visit. A great time to start would be during happy hour to partake in the wonderful deals offered & explore the menu from there 😋 as they're so much to choose from you're bound to find something to...

Lazy Dog is a chain of comfort food eateries with cool bars. We had never been to one. While on our way to Downey to see a play, my grandson noticed it and said he wanted dinner there. I am always up for something new and said okay, let's try it. It was fabulous.

Parking is easy in their large lot and it is free. They are open for brunch, lunch and dinner. I don't know how late they are open, but they seem to have a busy bar crowd.

The place is so cute on the outside. You can't miss it. Once in we were greeted straight away and headed to a table. We had a super comfortable booth in the bar area. There is a TV there, but I don't think the sound was on. The bar area is really nice with big bar chairs and I saw a lot of the fancy drinks going by. They also have beer on tap.

The menu is big and they have a lot to offer. It all looked great. We were hungry so we did order a lot of food. We started with great salads, they have a lot to pick from. I loved my Caesar salad and my grandson Buddy loved his greens just piled everywhere. Moving on to dinner I had a small order of fish and chips. It was fantastic. It was not greasy. the fries were wonderful and it was the perfect amount of food. My grandson has Linguini and shrimp and was in heaven. It was all prepared to perfection.

We also had great desserts. I had a warm chocolate cake with ice cream and whipped cream. YUM. My grandson wanted a white cake with strawberries and whipped cream. He loved it. We should have shared one. They are big.

The service was super friendly and fast and our server checked on us a few times. When we first came in they asked if this was our first time at Lazy Dog. it was, and they gave us home made chips. They were so so good.

They also have TV Dinner type trays to take home and at a good price and reasonable selection. We did mot get any, although I would have bought 10, if we were not so far from home. They are frozen and we had no place to keep them frozen, but they sure looked great.

We will be back and we will try others. It was just a...

I was so disappointed with my Birthday Dinner Last Night. The server was rude and it took every ounce of energy to bite my tongue. At the end of the meal when we received the check, my wife noticed that we were charged for a full bowl of tortilla soup even though my wife explicitly mentioned during the ordering process that she wanted to do the add on soup to the entree for the reduced cost. (The menu mentioned to add a soup to any entree for a reduced price - I do not recall the exact amount). The server snottily answered that he gave us a bowl and that is why he had to charge the full price. We told him that is not what we had told him when we ordered. He unhappily went back to the POS to adjust the check. He then told us, when he came back, that he also removed the Avocado from another soup that we ordered "to go" because he said he knew we would complain about that also. All I can say is WOW how rude! We spent over $100.00, just for two people and we were very polite to the server the whole time, but to get this comment as a customer was very disappointing. He could of easily said, that the soup add on entree is a cup only. If you want I can bring you out a bowl for the full cost and with the avocado, when asking if you would like avocado with the soup to mention that the avocado would be an additional cost. Maybe instead of hiding extra costs on a guests check to increase check average and year over year sales, maybe you should try to grow those two metrics with amazing food and respectful customer service and not by slipping in additional charged items hoping that the customer just accepts it and pays the check. Very disappointing, I expected more from Lazy Dog and hopefully it is not a reflection of management or worse Lazy Dog Culture on how it...
