I went here when it first opened and it seems a shadow of its glorious old self. Everything was "okay." Nothing was great. Nothing was bad. Our server was polite and my iced tea was kept filled so high marks for that. The seating is old and caving in. You could feel the supports on your bottom and it was not comfortable at all. I ordered a lunch legion of the Kung Poa chicken and my friend had the luncheon burger. Both were tasty. My portion (and I do not eat a lot for lunch) wa minuscule. 8 little bites of chicken for almost $20 seems a bit outrageous. It did taste good but was not a value at all. It is a good place just not great any more.

Great staff, attentive and busy on a sunday. Drinks refilled as needed and the sauce options were brought to the table in a timely manner. Sandwich based meals for our party. The baja burger had a decent flavor with a quality meat option. The dipping sauce for the fries also had a good unique flavor as did the sauces (sweet bbq, mustard base, hot, soy base). Don't forget to sign up for their birthday/mailings, ended up with a discount free burger offer the morning of due to signing up for the emails. A little noisy if sat by the prep area the staff works at for food but not unbearable.

Celebrated Mothers Day lunch here with my party of 5. Boy was it busy!! Waiting area by the hostess stand was packed like sardines. Even with my reservation, we waited about 10 min to be seated. Loved the food! We got 3 small plates/apps for $25 which I think was worth it. We got Cajun fries, edamame, and bacon cheddar biscuits. All good and did the job, but nothing spectacular. We all ordered different dishes, from ribs, steaks and pot roast. I loved my pot roast! Meat was nice and tender. Great comfort meal. Boyfriend substituted coleslaw and got a huge chunk of watermelon. Thought it was weird at first until realized was juicy. Service was good but not memorable; you can tell everyone's going thru the motions of the busy restaurant.

Our server Britney was great, and the food was perfect. We dined outside bc the weather was so lovely. We didn't bring our dogs bc they are a bit "barky" - but we got to enjoy all the patio dogs, all well behaved...and some enjoying the hearty $5 dog dish. Fun! Food: hubby got the lunch portion of Chicken Parm...he said it was okay. I got a lettuce-wrapped Swiss bacon burger (I need tomatoes on the side) and their delish apple cider vinegar coleslaw. Everything was cooked to perfection, and so tasty. The slaw was just right; not too sweet OR tangy. The flavored tea with an orange slice was refreshing. It was our first time here, but definitely won't be the last.

Banana pudding it's ok $8

I had the best bison meat loaf ever here! The gravy was amazing the vegetables were cooked to perfection! The pot roast dinner was also very good. They have a huge menu with lots of choices. The service was fabulous and the restaurant has lots of cute dog decor. We will be back for happy hour deals.

Nachos
Engy F.

Went there yesterday for Sunday brunch. We ended up order from the regular menu, first the salmon with brown rice was so good! Tender and tasty! The nachos were not my favorite, I would give it a 3 out of 5 maximum, it was too greasy for me and lacked more tomatoes, guacamole and onions. Their black and blue hamburger was a bomb of flavor! Sooo good. Service was ok, they were pretty busy. Ambiance is nice and welcoming as always with lazy dog.

Leather Menu! Awesome
Anthony P.

As we continue to come back to Lazy Dog for the great food, Great Service that Brittini gives us and the ambiance. This is one of out favorite restaurants in Temecula. The food is always great and the selection keeps us wanting to try something new. Thank you Brittini for making each visit special.

Blackened Chicken Burrito Bowl
Tim A.

From Chicago, second time at Lazy Dog. Here are some thots: --We had a large group of 12 people. I think our waiter is the best waiter I've ever had. Excellent! --Menu is superb, 4 or 5 things I wanted to try. --I ordered the blackened chicken burrito bowl. It was good, not great. The veggies were soggier than I like them. Overall, I am usually a food first guy when it comes to reviews, but the service was so good, I would highly recommend LD, and try something else next time.

Incredible burgers all around here
Brandon T.

Lazy Dog is and always has been one of my favorite restaurants to just go relax and have a good meal at... Whether I'm with one of my buddies and we go to watch a game and have a beer and some pub food at the bar, or date night and a good dinner and drink, or this time around. We came down with all the kids for Sunday brunch and it was just a fun relaxed environment with great food and service. Huge range of foods on the menu from great salads and appetizers, burgers and sandwiches, classic hearty meals, or even some Asian foods on the menu. I've never had something here I didn't like. Right now I am all about the ahi tuna salad.. they bring you an extra dressing if you want it for your salad, but I don't ever put it on. The salad is just tossed with the right amount of flavors and I eat it as it comes. Huge bonus said it's only 500 calories. Haven't even had a chance to mention yet that you can join the lazy Dog craft beer club which has an incredible mix of partnerships from many breweries that I'm sure you've been to or at least heard about if you enjoy good craft beer. Love that you can always bring and sit on the outside patio space.

Cowboy Ribeye burger- yummy!
Supriya C.

Our second visit to this location and they really do things right. Ethan took care of us- even made sure we had a heater since it was getting cold outside. The atmosphere is friendly and caring. Food was good, came out in good time and portions are super generous. We indulged and got desserts which were great too. The butter cake being my fav. Oh and they served food for our dog which is a huge bonus. Overall, great experience and this location, in terms of food and service, is better than a couple other locations of Lazy Dog in So Cal.

Fried Chicken Sandwich
Sianne H.

Overall experience was good! Our server was attentive and very lively, and the food was fine (not the greatest but not bad by any means). We were seated outside because we had a dog, it would've be nice if the outdoor tables had full overhead sun coverage (the majority of our table was directly in the sun by the time we left)

Brussels Sprouts and Buffalo Chicken Nuggets
Shawna R.

It was a cold Friday night in Temecula and I met with some of the family to grab some comfort food. They ordered Brussels sprouts and Buffalo chicken for the table (I didn't eat it) but they all really enjoyed it. I got my go to tofu teriyaki bowl without mushrooms, my sis got the soup and everyone else grabbed a burger. Our waiter was very accommodating and even asked the other waiters to use the other door (we were sat in a booth in the back, the outside patio door was cold chilly air) and since there was no other booths we got stuck there. So yes part of our dinner was met with a wind chill but the other half we were able to enjoy the hot food prepared for our table.

We were seated immediately. It was a family lunch. There is parking available right across the road,and some metered parking right in front of the restaurant The ambient music was initially very loud. But they responded to our request to turn it down lower. As other lazy dog restaurants, I loved the decor. There are plenty of seats available. We sat inside at a regular table. The lighting Is a little dark. If you're a little older with sight impairment, you might need to use your phone to light up the menu. We ordered drinks first. And they came promptly. I ordered a very pretty drink which was delicious! We ordered cheese curds and buffalo chicken nuggets to share. Food was good and fresh! Around the table, we ordered a variety of food. Everyone said it was good. Also, the menu is new!! I ordered the road trip bowl korean bibimbap. Good as always The refill of drinks took a little longer to come. My mom In law had ordered a refill of iced tea that took so long that she had forgotten she had ordered it. Also, it's got a dog friendly patio. Only service dog allowed inside Overall, a decent place to eat.

I heard this location is closing, is this true? If so, will this location be open on 8/22/2025?

Yes, the location is closing on September 10th, 2025 according to an email they sent out. So it should be open on 08/22

Since it's February its cold outside after sunset, do they offer sufficient outdoor heaters just in case? I'm planning to have my birthday dinner there soon, just don't want to die in freezing cold with my dog and family.

Yes, they do have outside heaters, and in the summer they have mists. Its great! Happy birthday!

Do they show the football games on sundays during brunch?

I'm sorry, I don't know because we ate outside because we had my son's dog with us. All the dogs have to be outside. You should give them a call and see what they have to say. I know you will enjoy your visit - Good Luck

Do humans ever order off the dog menu for themselves?

"Woof-woof, yap". (Yes)

What time is happy hour?

Happy hour starts at 3

Is there happy hour on Friday?

Yes from 3-6 on Fridays

We arrived early on a Friday evening, and thankfully it wasn't crowded. Since they don't take reservations, getting there early is definitely the way to go. We ordered the Dealer's Choice, which was refreshing, balanced, and beautifully presented. We also tried one of their stronger signature cocktails, and they definitely don't hold back -- there's a reason they limit those drinks to two per person! Both drinks were creative and well-crafted. The bartenders clearly know their craft, and the drink presentation was outstanding. Service was good, although not especially memorable, which is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. One thing that would make the experience even more immersive would be if the entire staff wore cowboy attire to match the Old West theme. With the speakeasy setting and vintage decor, it would add a fun touch and make the experience feel even more authentic. Overall, Twain Speakeasy offers excellent cocktails, good music, and a unique atmosphere. I would definitely come back again, and my recommendation is to arrive early since reservations aren't available and I can see this place filling up quickly on busy nights.

We went and sat at the bar, only to find out it was closed. The manager came by, took our order, and said it was on the house since no one served us. Very cool and much appreciated. We got seated at our table, and the service was so slow that we waited 15 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order or refill our drinks. We ordered our food, and it took another 45 minutes before we asked how much longer it would take for our food to come out. Our food came out staggered. The fish and chips weren't cooked all the way, the crane asada fries lacked flavor, and the fish tacos weren't cooked all the way. We never saw a waiter again. I had to find the manager to get our bill, and he said they were short-handed, but that's still no excuse for poor service. Also, the entertainment was like a bad karaoke night with no change in singers. Overall, I was very disappointed because I really liked this place before. I doubt I will be back.

Communication with Lucy was seamless--all I really had to do to prepare was send an inspiration board and ask a few questions about accommodating some items we wanted to bring. Set menu planning was easy, and Lucy helped project costs to make sure we met the minimum. I was blown away when I saw it all come together. Kelly, the owner, took such careful care of us. She photographed the event and shared the photos with me afterward, and she took the time to walk us through each dish and the thought behind the ingredients, which made the food taste even better. She gathered the whole group for a photo, and once everyone left, she offered me a cold drink to help me unwind (she must have noticed how stressed I was, lol). All in all, I'd absolutely host another private event here. Thank you, Luke's On Front, for your hospitality and for making our event so special.

Good variety of dishes from pastas to burgers to steaks and seafood. For my dinner selection I went with the NY Strip (medium rare). It comes with a baked potato and some veggies (broccoli and carrots). There is a pat of bleu cheese compound butter which you can use to add some extra flavor, although I didn't think my steak needed any. Solid restaurant with great vibes!

I hope they continue to hire him to play live music because he was the highlight of the evening. The food was mediocre at best. The poke was not very good, the pieces of tune were huge and there was like 5 big cubes of it that were seasoned strangely. They put what tasted like a sweet eel sauce or a balsamic glaze on top which ruined the flavor of the whole thing and is not a usual poke flavor. I had a few bites and gave up. Then I ordered the fish tacos and those were ok, and not bad honestly. Just very heavy handed with the sour cream on top which kind of ruined it otherwise they would have been great. The drinks were awful. We tried 3 and all of them were bitter and not very tasty. I took one sip of the "spritz me up" and sent it back for a different drink instead. The service was OK. I feel like we could have been checked on more and I waited 15min after my first sip of that drink to replace it with another one and then waited another 10min for the replacement for almost half an hour of waiting for a drink that was drinkable. Then we asked for a printed receipt and she just clocked out and never gave us one. The ambiance was fine and like I said, Jon Dutch made the evening worth it. Otherwise I would not come back unless he was here providing entertainment. If I come again, I'll try all new things as I wasn't impressed with anything I ordered this first time I tried the place.
