Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar

Local team review
The dog menu is the detail that tells you everything about the philosophy here — grilled chicken with brown rice for your pet, served with a water bowl brought without asking. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich brought real cayenne heat balanced by pickles and ranch on brioche, a lunch option that punches well above the chain-restaurant weight class. The biscuits and gravy at brunch — buttermilk biscuits under a peppery sausage gravy — are the kind of stick-to-your-ribs comfort food that makes the drive to Route 59 feel worthwhile, especially on a cold morning.
About the Restaurant
Lazy Dog brought its California-born comfort food concept to Route 59 in 2020 and quickly became a neighborhood anchor. The menu is sprawling in the best way, hand-tossed pizzas, slow-roasted pot roast, Thai-inspired noodles, and a brunch that converts weekend skeptics. The dog-friendly patio (complete with a dedicated dog menu) is the standout feature, and the craft beer selection tilts toward accessible but interesting. It's the restaurant that works for every demographic in the group text, which is a harder trick to pull off than it sounds.
Insider Tip
They have a dedicated dog menu for your pup's patio dining experience, yes, really. The grilled chicken and brown rice bowl is the canine bestseller.
