The food was decent, but there were a few issues that affected the overall experience. The menu was surprisingly hard to read – it felt overcrowded with text, making it difficult to decide. On top of that, the leather cover didn’t feel very hygienic. When I asked our server for their opinion on the trout versus the salmon, they responded that they don't eat fish, which wasn’t helpful. I went with the trout, which was okay but very buttery, and they even provided extra butter on the side, which seemed like overkill. My iced tea had an odd flavor, but the side salad was a good size. Overall, an average experience that could use some improvements in both service and presentation.

This place is very well built, with beautiful woodwork inside. Love the concept of a dog with bones for door handles. We were seated fast, service was good. The food and drinks were delicious. Our favorite was the fries and dipping Umami sauce.

Great comfort food but be prepared for a vast eclectic menu! Get the salmon sushi bowl every time. Fresh and fun with semi outdoor space with firepit where you can bring dogs. Recommend you make reservation. Huge placr but gets packed at times.

My third time here and had an average experience. First off, the soup was decent. The spoon they served with the soup was so odd. Really small and can't even enjoy the soup in its entirety. Cuban sandwich was good, but not the best I had- average fries. The steak on the other hand was blah. $32 steak and it was not WOW. Not tasty and lacked flavor. Overall food is quite average, but pricey. Honestly the best experience was the nice cold beer.. lol. Will come again and give them another chance.

Great variety with many options on the menu. The table shared the candy bacon. It was good and has a spicy kick. I ordered a new menu item, beef birria noodles, along with the mango chile margarita. Both were awesome! For dessert, my party shared a slice of the confetti cake. The cake was dry, but that was the only thing that wasn't exceptional.

This was my first time visiting Lazy Dog. They have amazing ambiance outside by the fire. We ordered the goat cheese and pepper jelly which was fantastic, and the chicken tortilla soup was delicious! The chicken lettuce wraps came in a large portion, which was great. To finish off, the banana pudding was delightful. Highly recommend!

Second time here (first was a year ago).. ambience wise is okay. Service, this time around a miss out in appetizers even though there was a confirmation of which option we wanted. So we waited a while for mains to arrive instead. Probably kitchen and servers have some miss communication as steak ordered medium came out a little more to cook, no juicy blood oozing out. Meanwhile the trout, overall it was okay just it was served out a little to the cool temperature. Was too hungry to have them change it so just eat what is on the table. Staff was apologetic. Maybe need to have more staff to manage the crowd especially during peak hours.

I'm sure the staff will tell you all about their beer club, but if you're a local, it's a pretty great deal. I went to this place with my brother, and loved it! There's a lot of food choices. They make everything from scratch.... And it's so good. Tons of beer options as well. I had a chicken waffle salad. Not too pricey, especially if you're a club member. I wish this place was in North Carolina but it was a great place to catch up with family, or friends. It's a cabin lodge atmosphere. Cheers!

My husband and I went to Lazy Dog for Valentine's Day this year -- great choice! Our server, Ozzie, was wonderful! She was prompt, funny, and provided excellent service! And the food (bison meatloaf and Thai noodles) was great, as always! What a nice evening!

Celiac Foodie: I'm always on the hunt for Gluten Free restaurants and I found Lazy Dog based on reviews. They do offer a Gluten Free Menu- it's limited but has a few good items. I ordered the Salmon Fillet, the salmon was very over cooked and no seasoning, very plain. Cocktails were delicious, not over bitter or sweet. Seating was booth, table or bar, very busy evening but waiter was very knowledgeable and on point. The lighting is very dim, we had to use our flashlight to look at the menu. Overall, it was OK. I know the burgers were really good and seasoned well from the others in my party. Happy Dining!

Overall Rating: 3.5/5 Interior and Ambiance: 4.5/5-Beautiful wooden beams, amazing architecture, dog themed, only weird bit is going into the bathroom there is a dog sign which says, "Good Girl," as you open the door. Service: 3/5-Could have been better but I understand it's busy on the weekend. Weird that not everyone is given water glasses and we had to ask for water refills. We ordered appetizers and we weren't even given small plates. Food: 3.5/5-Truly depends on what you ordered. I like that each item on the menu has calories listed next to it. Starters: we ordered Cajun fries, cheese curds, and house salad. House salad with ranch dressing was very tasty but the bowl it's served in just kept sliding (you'll understand if you order it). Cheese curds were good but for the price should be double the serving than what's given. Cajun fries were good. Entrees: Bison Meatloaf (Highly recommend, best dish we had, incredibly flavorful, rich, and good with veggies), Fried Chicken Sandwich (Good, didn't blow me away but it was tasty), Lemon Chicken (Chicken was overly burnt, would have been much better if it wasn't as blackened as it was), and Pulled Pork (Looked revolting, smothered in BBQ and falling apart. Lots of fatty bits, honestly should have sent it back).

The food, ambiance, and service were excellent. We stopped in for lunch after our son's graduation. They have a great selection of craft beers, wines, and alcohol drinks. There is a nice covered patio area with adirondack chairs, tables, and a large round fireplace too. We will definitely be back!

Love coming to Lazy Dog with my family! One thing that's great about this place is that they accommodate large parties and making a reservation is so easy. Not to mention the expansive menu they have for everyone's taste. From Asian inspired dishes to your classic American Cheeseburger, there's something to suite anyone's cravings.

The atmosphere inside is much different than I expected from the outside - it's nice and ambient. Service was great too, the staff was pretty knowledgeable and friendly. The food didn't blow my hair back but it was pretty good. I am typically a big fan of ahi tuna salads but the one I got was a bit flavorless and just ahi tuna on a bed of mixed greens.

We got to try this restaurant on our second attempt. The first time, maybe a year ago, the wait was way too long, as it was extra crowded due to Homecoming (or similar) activities. I can see why this place is popular on the surface. They have a nice outdoor patio, as well as spacious interior with upbeat energy and decor. We had an early dinner around 5pm on a Saturday. The kids' menu was like a full booklet of activities to do and came with 4 triangle shaped crayons, which was novel. My husband enjoyed the crispy deviled egg appetizer, though the portion on the Cuban sandwich was not as large as he was expecting, esp for the $20 price tag. Rice was cold, hard, and dry in my ahi tuna bowl, and it looked better than it tasted. The chili crunch on top of the tuna was colorful and added a textural contrast, but it didn't really complement the flavors in the dish. My mind kept going to how tasty Cooper Hawk's version is, with the balanced flavors of soy, ginger, and lime. The kiddos' meals were fine. One had had a cheeseburger the night before but of course wanted a 2-peat, and the other can have Kraft mac and cheese any day of the week at home but of course insisted on it for this dinner. Each kids' entree comes with choice of a side and drink. The oddest thing is the waiter asked when we wanted the bill before our plates and wine were even finished. You can kind of move things along in other ways if you really wanted to go that route, like can I get you anything else, or how is everything, or do you want dessert? Guess it's all about the table turnover. He overheard us talking about it and apologized and said we could take our time and don't mean to rush us... but of course we felt rushed. We were in and out in 45 minutes. Overall, it missed the mark on the quality of food and service aspects.

Another great experience at Lazy Dog! Our kids all ate the buttered noodles and loved them (which is no small feat). My husband and I shared small plates for our meal. Our favorite was the firecracker shrimp and spicy tuna. I love their extra big booths that make it easy for big families. And we even bought some take home gingerbread kits, which was cute!

I've visited Lazy Dog in Vernon Hills, IL several times, and while the food is consistently good, the value for what you get leaves something to be desired. On my recent visit, I had the Fish and Chips lunch portion, and while the fish was delicious, the portion size was disappointing--just two pieces of fish made it hard to justify the price. One part of my meal that I didn't enjoy was the coleslaw--it lacked any real bite or flavor. My dining partner had a cheeseburger, which was good, but again, slightly overpriced for what it was That said, the restaurant itself is very attractive, with a warm, inviting atmosphere. They also have an outdoor patio that's dog-friendly. The menu is fairly expansive, offering a wide variety of meals and drinks, so there's something for everyone. Service was decent, as always, though not overly attentive. Overall, Lazy Dog delivers on taste and ambiance, but the pricing for some items could be more reasonable. Still, I'll continue to visit, as the quality and variety keep me coming back. Just wish there was a bit more bang for the buck!

I've been here a lot recently so I will make this brief. We had a party of 9 (no dogs), no reservations, but they were able to seat us pretty quickly on the patio. They quickly took drinks and apps order, tots and sprouts. These came out right away but then they left us alone for some time. Our server eventually came back and from then on, all was good. My Korean bibimbap bowl was pretty good, a little spice, colorful with lots of textures. The table seemed pretty happy with their choices as well. We shared donut holes with chocolate sauce at the end. These were hot and crispy but skip the thin sauce (powdered sugar or Nutella sauce would be better). Decent meal for 9, a lot of variety on the menu to please everyone. I'll bring the pups back next time.

They were out of my soup on the coldest day of the year! The waitress took care of it and recommended another soup. The biscuits were good. The service was wonderful. We will be back.

Loved the atmosphere of the restaurant when we got in. The service was friendly and the space was clean. We sat at a booth in the bar area and enjoyed the street corn tots as an appetizer, then tried both their IPA and regular draft samplers (6 8oz Glasses of Beer). We then moved on to our main course which was their bison burgers, and to top off the evening, banana pudding. Everything was delicious. Now to get down to the statistics, it's not a cheap night out. Yes there are reasonable priced items on the menu, but to give you an idea, it's $20 a burger, bison or not. So if you're into a nice meal at a nice place, definitely give the lazy dog a try. 10pm-Close is always calm and quiet, and their food/beer selection was definitely worth returning for.

This is a family favorite! While the service can be a little hit or miss, the last few experiences have been great! Always enjoy their beers and the menu has something for everyone. Personal favorites are the lettuce wraps, bibimbap bowl and burgers. Some of the best fries around! The restaurant is always nice but I love sitting outside both summer and winter. Hard to find a dog friendly place! They treat the pups super well too.

It's really for Lazy Dogs! I've been here before & sat outdoors with all the well-behaved dogs (err, there was one mini dog fight), fire pit in the middle & tented/all weather area. Sitting outside is where it's happening for the true "Lazy Dog" experience. Dog gazing, people watching, feeling the warmth of the fire pit. The good life (dog & you) in semi cold weather. Inside is very nice too for larger groups. Food: Had the Chilli Crunch Ahi Tuna, a sashimi grade seared ahi tuna. It was done perfectly & melt in your mouth. Sat on a bed of furikake (Japanese seasoning) rice, edame, avacado, marinated cucumbers, pickled ginger, garlic crunch & citrus soy sauce to pour over. The rice was very slightly undercooked, but the waitress did offer to replace it. Overall 4/5 yummy choice. Parking: Can be a little tight with a short wait or short walk. Overall, a fun experience, great ambiance, service & food!

We ordered curbside and pickup was smooth & easy. The food was DELICIOUS! We ordered a burger & onion rings, the chicken lettuce wraps & the firecracker shrimp. All were incredible & I highly recommend. Even for carry out, the shrimp was still crispy. Super excited to have a new place in Northbrook to go try in person!

We've been here plenty for happy hour, lunch and dinner but it was the first time we stopped in for brunch. And let me tell you brunch is the BEST especially you can order from both menus. I love quiche and my family doesn't share that same love so I really only have it out. The quiche is a four cheese deep dish quiche which I've never had. It was so fluffy and had a great flavor. I wasn't sure I'd like the deep dish but was surprisingly perfect. I was only able to eat half and I prolly could have only done 1/3 so you will definitely get yours moneys worth! I got the hashbrown as my side by my daughter doesn't like watermelon so I knew I'd have her side to eat. The hashbrown is fresh which is common with patty type has browns. But for me it was just too much with the quiche. I'd just get fruit as my side next time. Would be nice if they offered a salad as a side so it was more traditional. My husband said his burger was delicious We will certainly be back for brunch again!

I loved my food for one, as my family did too. A family friendly place that has an area in an outside tent for winter where you can bring your dogs if you'd like. This review has a lot to do with our server Michael Angelo, definitely a great guy who knows how to handle customers even in confusing times. He's the one who even recommended the salmon to me which I loved, when told there was no chocolate ice cream. I still got delicious ice cream with an added chocolate drizzle. Overall good experience that I recommend .

3rd time there and never a disappointment. Got there on a Saturday at 12:00 and was lucky to be seated inside immediately. Outside was a 40 minute wait. Yani our server, bright, cheerful & helpful. (A keeper!!) selection both food & drinks excellent. Wish there was a Lazy Dog near us. But it's always worth the trip when I'm around the area.

Tried the Baja California burger. It was gigantic and full of flavor. Little messy to keep it together but whatever fell out - I used the fork. Hush puppies were awesome with mashed potatoes inside and crispy outside. Huckleberry lemonade was refreshing and not too sweet. For dessert shared two ... banana pudding and butter cake. I preferred the butter cake. The warm cake and cold ice cream - perfect combination. Service was excellent as always.

I had an extremely distressing experience at this establishment that not only caused me a panic attack but also raised serious concerns about both legality and racial discrimination. As an Asian individual living in the U.S. legally, I was shocked and upset by how I was treated tonight. During my visit, my server took my only form of identification -- my passport -- without my consent, claiming they needed to show it to their manager. This is both highly inappropriate and, frankly, illegal. I did not give my legal consent for my passport to be taken away, and I was left at my table for what felt like an eternity without any communication. It was extremely unsettling to have my identification removed and walked away with, without any explanation or assurance that it would be returned. To make matters worse, I've been a regular customer here for months, and I felt completely discriminated against during this visit. The same server would not even allow me to place an order for a beer for my boyfriend -- a customer who has frequented this restaurant for years. This behavior was not only unprofessional, but it felt deeply racially motivated and completely unjustified. The combination of the legal violation, the refusal to serve my boyfriend, and the general hostile attitude created an incredibly stressful environment. The anxiety from the situation eventually led to a panic attack. It's beyond disappointing that a place where I have felt comfortable in the past would subject me to this kind of treatment, especially when I've been a loyal customer. I would caution others, particularly people of color or individuals with immigrant backgrounds, to be aware of how they might be treated here. It's unacceptable to have your legal identification taken without consent or to be treated in a discriminatory manner based on your race. I won't be returning after this experience, and I sincerely hope the management takes steps to address this serious issue. ALSO the manager was extremely dismissive about this entire incident when I brought it up and had nothing to say to me. As a person of color talking to a white manager that runs a predominantly white restaurant with mostly white customers, I feel dismissed as if how I felt didn't matter at all. I would advise anyone of a person of color to avoid this location as even the manager is careless.

Well I was very surprised, we normally visit this location, the staff is excellent, friendly, but it must have been my off day. I always enjoy their crispy chicken sandwich, it was always plentiful in size, but, this time it was a small patty, smaller than usual. I didn't complain, paid my $29 dollar portion on a $17 dollar sandwich. Drank a soda, only one glass. So $29 for a small hockey puck sized chicken breast, did not make me feel warm and fuzzy. Going to hold off future visits until I get my appetite back to toss money away. Just my opinion. Thanks for reading.

We like lazy dog however Sunday night was disappointing we had extremely poor service. I ordered a side of fruit and it appeared they never cleaned the strawberries stems were attached and very little fruit in the cup. The server payed little attention to our table. In the past I requested they offer more than one soup and that never happened.

Yelp
Would love to review this place for their food but after two attempts at walking in, we walked out after waiting 15 minutes and not even being asked for our drink order. Both times the restaurant wasn't busy and there were plenty of people standing around. This recent time, it felt worthy of reviewing because on the way out we thought to mention the experience to the hostess. The response was "oh" and that was it. Based on the other reviews it didn't seem like we missed much. Go where your money and patronage is valued... that is not here.

Beyond delicious food, full service bar, lots of seating. Came here for a dinner date on a Thursday evening 5:30 and though it was packed, we got seated right away. I was seated near the kitchen so I could hear the behind the scenes staff convos and smell the wonderful aroma of all the items being cooked. Lighting was a bit dim (perfect for the cool vibe). They serve many cocktails and variety of comfort foods.

I remember trying this chain when it first opened here and absolutely loving it. I was very intrigued by the concept of PB&J as a burger and their flash fried sticky ribs and neither disappointed. On top of that, I love ginger beer and was happy to see that they had a home-made version that I knew I had to try (I don't think they have this anymore). Over the years, I've come to realize that there are a few items from Lazy Dog that have been and continue to be hits when I order them, but that as I've ventured out to other items on the menu, there have been more that I've tried that are misses. There have been a good number of "just okay" dishes where the prices far exceeded the taste. I've also tried a handful of cocktails and while most have been decent, there were none that particularly stood out. Personal Highlights: PB&J Burger Sticky Ribs Sweet Potato Tots The bacon candy is also delicious but it's difficult to justify the price point. Service can also vary depending on your server. The servers have run the gamut from poor and unhelpful to outstanding service. That might be a testament to just having a larger sample size over time and inevitably running across a few bad eggs or it could be a reflection of their hiring practices. The one major plus for Lazy Dog though is the atmosphere. I love the coziness of the indoors seating area during the winter time and the patio seating is a nice place to unwind during the summer evenings. I've found this to be one of the primary driving factors for revisiting. Overall, if you can find dishes that you can enjoy at Lazy Dog, that + going with good company should amount to a good time. I can only extend a lukewarm recommendation due to my experiences, but would say to anyone who is on the fence that it's worth trying at least once.

I really am sad to write this review but after the last several experiences we've had, it's time. We've given lazy dog the benefit of the doubt and blamed the bad experiences on being busy, days of the week or holidays.... But the experiences have been the same or worse. We've been coming here for 2-3 years, got the membership etc. Over the last couple months, we have had the same server several times. He tells us about his hangovers, his med school, won't leave the table and he's insulted our children as well as us attempting to be sarcastic and it's flat out rude. We have gone in, saw that he was working and chose to sit at the bar or not dine in to prevent having the bad experience. Our orders have been forgotten while dining twice- and we've sat there for over two hours waiting on food. Consistently, our food is cold. It takes over an hour and manages to still be luke warm at best. We went two Sunday's ago and were waiting on a server and water for 20 minutes. We sit inside frequently and see the entire food window full of orders and a manager just yells "hands" instead of helping out organize or get a runner as soon as possible. Food piles up and you just sit there watching him do nothing. Tonight was our final straw when we decided to just order takeout instead of go inside. We ordered 2 burgers and one sandwich to be picked up at 7pm. They brought out the wrong order and said we needed to wait. Well 20 minutes later, no one came. My husband went inside to inquire on the order to which they said "they didn't know where it was." So they eventually find the order, and it's cold. At this point it's passed 7:30 and we needed to go home. It's clear that there is a lack of organization and a lack of service quality. Which is a shame because we used to really enjoy ourselves but at this time we won't be giving it "just one more shot" again.

I typically meet up with friends on the patio with their dogs. They have a doggy menu and bring water for the dogs too. The patio area is massive and very comfortable. Menu is also large, with lots of great options. Service is great, and very attentive. I've been here many times, and never disappointed.

We were in town for a soccer tournament and I searched Yelp for a restaurant near our hotel. Boy am I happy that we picked the Lazy Dog. The service was impeccable, literally from the woman who brought us to our table, to the food runners and our waitress, great service and kind people. I had a margarita and an Aperol spritz, both delicious. We had the nachos with chicken and the deviled eggs to start. Wow! Both had so much flavor and were so good! Those deviled eggs fried though...wow. I had the new birria noodle dish and it had so many different flavors. So so good. Loved the consomé that came with the noodles. I was worried the dish would be too salty, but it wasn't. We also had the huckleberry and apple pie. We were so stuffed at this point, but had to try it. So glad that we did. It was amazing! We loved the dark woodsy vibe of this restaurant. Also loved the tasteful dog decor. Wish we could come back to try more dishes!

I recently dined at Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar, opting for their vegetarian menu while enjoying the outdoor seating. The ambiance was inviting, with a cozy and relaxed atmosphere that complemented the outdoor setting perfectly. The staff was attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall dining experience. As a vegetarian, I was pleased with the diverse and flavorful options on the menu. The dishes were well-prepared, showcasing a thoughtful approach to vegetarian cuisine. The presentation was appealing, and each bite was a delightful combination of textures and tastes. Lazy Dog's commitment to providing a comfortable environment, coupled with their delicious vegetarian offerings, makes it a recommended spot for those seeking a pleasant dining experience. Whether you're a vegetarian or not, the restaurant's ambiance and menu variety contribute to an enjoyable visit.

Came here a couple of times and each time was great. During this visit, came for lunch with friends. Ordered the huckleberry haze IPA which I loved and my go-to!! As a starter, my favorite thing to order is the goat cheese with pepper jelly. When I first came here, I tried it so every time I have to order it. So delicious!! Lunch wise, I order the lunch portion of the beer battered fish and chips which was the perfect size. It came with 2 pieces of fish, fries, and coleslaw. First time getting dessert and we picked the butter cake and omg it was a GREAT choice. The combination of the warm cake and the vanilla ice cream and the sweetness of the strawberry compote...chef's kiss!

First time trying this place...it did nort disappoint. The decor and atmosphere are really cool! Dog stuff all around and quite rustic. The food was incredible! Thete were 5 of us and we each had something different. Our only complaint would be that the server was not very attentive...didn't offer dri k refills...hot and spicy food needs water and lots of it!

Tried this restaurant for the first time , drove over from Chicago definitely does not disappoint our server Sebastian made it an amazing experience (and i am a current 20 yr server ), great suggestive selling as well as letting us know what his favorites are and other suggestions that we might like upon us asking questions. Hit every step of service and we will def ask for him for now on he's not only Friendly but super informative. The Chicken tortilla soup is the best I ever had ...so much chicken in it! I had the Kung Pao shrimp bowl : excellent, my daughter had the Cuban sandwich and thoroughly enjoyed it and my husband had the Cobb salad which was not only delicious but beautiful Definitely recommend the food & atmosphere And if you want to make sure you get the full experience ask for Sebastian Dog friendly patio as well

I'm not a HUGE fan of Lazy Dog due to their lack of variety in plant based options, and their tofu bowls are overly priced mush, but since I hadn't dined here in YEARS, I decided to give it another try for lunch with my friend. I ordered the falafel and hummus Road Trip Bowl, and it was a pretty solid choice. The plate is HUGE and the flavors were on point. Could use some pita in my opinion, but still yummy. I also had an overly priced (over $4) Diet Coke as well. The space is clean, always busy, and the staff is incredibly friendly each and every time. Decent lunch specials for people who eat meat, but I wish there were more veggie options there as well.

Used to love this place but overall won't be coming back anytime soon! We started our dinner off with the Jolene's wings special they have going on. We tried 5 of the Korean dry rub (zero flavor) and 5 of the kung pao (extremely minimal flavor- we asked for more of the kung pao sauce which once received we realized the sauce isn't a true wing sauce more of like a thin consistency soy sauce). For dinner we split and tried the all American burger- super average and nothing special about it. Our burger on the menu stated "double quarter pounder patties" which was not the case as we received one patty. Once the dish arrived our waitress then explained to us that if you order below medium it will be served as one patty which we weren't aware of. Paired that with a side of Cajun fries which were good. For dessert we finished the night off with our favorite- the brown butter cake. Not sure what it was but this time around it didn't taste fresh/as good as usual. For drinks we tried both of their beer samplers on the menu (house beer and draft) and let our waitress pick out which ones, overall pretty good and fun to try out different beers. Only downside was there was no name tags or way to tell what we were tasting. After that we ordered the lillet lemon fiz (was okay-pretty sour) and the tequila honey squeeze (tasted like a glass of Margarita juice). Overall the experience left us not feeling the need to come back anytime soon.

Fun place to eat with my dog. Delish food and choices galore. We have eaten as a family of five and hosted a party for 25. They always execute nicely.

We came here on Saturday (not knowing it was homecoming) so it was a bit of wait. I wish they were on Open Table as that would have helped us personally. They do however have a text messaging service to let you know when your table is ready. It was a little weird once we got up to the hostess front end. The main hostess organizing the tables looked very exhausted and frustrated while two other people were behind here chit chatting. Once we got to our table, Tyree was very knowledgeable and knew the menu which helped us. We started with the sangria sampler for myself and a beer sampler for my husband. We really liked these, as we got to try three different flavors for the price of one. I could taste the differences between my sangrias l. But my husband pretty much guessed as they weren't labeled. He thinks the best was Huckleberry. They also have a separate gluten sensitive menu, but there limited options for main dishes, no appetizer option, and the sides were odd (tomato slices were an option). My husband and I both got burgers, which were moist/wet and were messy (mine came between two leaves of romaine lettuce). The sauces were great from what my husband said and he recommend the spicy. We're not sure if we would come back solely on lack of GF options for myself, but their overall menu is huge.

Has the greatest outdoor patio, great food options & decent prices. love that this place is dog friendly and even has a dog menu. The service is typically good but it's definitely hit or miss depending on when you go. seems like in the summer they put their A+ servers out there and in the winter they put their back up team. Join the loyalty club. It's worth it!

My husband and I came in around 10 pm and our server, Ozzy, was very nice, attentive, and personable. She probably bad about 6 tables she was taking care of and was still very pleasant. The burger and tortilla soup were delicious. We were seated by the fireplace, which was nice and cozy as well.

Our server was fantastic--so helpful and made our visit enjoyable. They explained the menu well and even made me a cheese mix to enhance the dish. We started with wings and veggies, which were so filling, and I loved the spaghetti squash with beet balls and pumpkin seeds. My daughter devoured her chicken Caesar salad--enough said! Great food, great service. See you again soon!

The bar service is really nice. Delicious cocktails and nice beer selection. The burgers are huge and tasty. The carnitas is super tasty. I'm sure everything is worth trying. No doubt. Come with a date, the family, or solo and watch a game or sit by a fire.
