What makes a restaurant dog friendly?
In actuality, a pet-friendly restaurant is one with an open-air, unenclosed outdoor seating area. Pets are permitted on the patio or deck area only with the owner of the restaurant’s permission.
Why is lazy dog called lazy dog?
The first restaurant Chris Simms and his father opened was called Lazy Dog Café; in 2012, the name was changed to Lazy Dog Bar & Restaurant. Simms created the name “Lazy Dog” while skiing in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Pet dogs are not permitted in our restaurants for the comfort and safety of our patrons. However, well-behaved dogs are allowed in the restaurant’s outdoor seating areas (which cannot be accessed through the main dining room).
Dogs are permitted in our restaurants at the manager’s discretion (as it can vary based on the layout of the restaurant, availability, etc.). It’s usually bet to check in advance of your visit.
Comfort foods, creative dishes, and large portions
Lazy dog provides American fare, including many traditional dishes. Among the selections are steak, chicken, fish, burgers, bowls, salads, pizzas, salads, appetizers, and vegetarian options. The menu offers bison burgers and meatloaf, a kung pao bowl, and even a PB & J burger (yes, a burger with peanut butter and jelly) in addition to traditional comfort foods like mac and cheese, chicken quesadillas, fish and chips, and pot roast. Bottles of Lazy Dog’s specialty sauces are on each table.
The steak salad, buttermilk chicken sandwich, chicken pot pie, and chicken cordon bleu that we were able to sample were all excellent. Although entrees typically take center stage at restaurants, the appetizers and sides at Lazy Dog were surprisingly tasty.
The “bacon candy,” “crispy deviled eggs,” and “brussels sprouts” were excellent side dishes. The chicken cordon bleu’s accompanying wild rice, which was stuffed with slivered almonds, mushroom slices, and peas, was so delicious that I could have it as a meal by itself.
The Alaskan halibut, sweet potato tots, lemon chicken, and mini corn dogs look delicious, but I’ll have to bring friends so we can all share the food. Every entree seemed to come with a sizable portion, even the “hangover burrito” that friends at a nearby table were eating.
There are several different chocolate options, ice cream, and cheesecake on the dessert menus at many restaurants. It’s a good thing that Lazy Dog defies that trend by offering items like s’mores, pineapple upside-down cake, carrot cake, apple-huckleberry pie, and butter cake. My son rated the banana pudding highly after ordering it. Individual preparation ensures the vanilla wafers stay crispy, which only improved the dish.
