    Double smash burger with tots
    Robert V.

    Had a really neat experience trying this spot out on a recent trip to Fresno. Food was great - we both got the smash burger and added a second patty and bacon. The tots were delicious, homemade ketchup paired perfectly. The burger as a double was a good size for me! Service was friendly and quick. Ambiance was unique - check out the photos for decorations. The person who joined me comes here every couple of months and said everything is delicious. Hope to try another item from the menu if in town again. Note - they had street parking and a parking lot you can pay to access across the street.

    Smash burger w/ tots

    I came back and was pleasantly surprised by the food I tried this time around. I ordered the smash burger and it was delicious!!! I ate that thing up so quick! It was a good mix of sweet and savory. Sweet from the maple bun I believe and savory from the beef patty and melted cheese. It was chef's kiss!! It was served with a side of tater tots which were super crispy and fried to perfection. I still unfortunately do not like the house made ketchup. It tastes like marinara to me. I'm not a fan of that taste with the tots (personal preference). The service could also be improved. I understand it's one person serving, hosting, and running food but the place is on the smaller side. Not sure if having an additional server or host would help with the service. It took more than 10 minutes to get our bill and we were already finished with our food and packed up to go just waiting for the server who was busy running around trying to serve others. Overall, I'd have to say this place redeemed itself in my book. And I would say just be careful about what you order. The food options are a fusion and if you end up ordering something you don't like, you'd have a bad experience. My first time here, I didn't like what I ordered but this time around, the item I ordered was delicious. I did order a burger which in my book taste good pretty much anywhere I go. IMO, it's not that hard to mess up a burger. In the future if I come here again, I'd probably stick to the non-fusion dishes. If you haven't tried this place, I still do recommend it. It's a local joint, farm to table concept, and pretty good depending on what you get.

    3 years later, service was still the same and food even better than I remembered! I love how everything has just so much heart poured into it, and you can tell the HOMEMADE vibe is taken seriously. I really appreciate this establishment!

    Romesco Chicken Sandwich and Tater Tots, Big Dill Chicken Sandwich
    Annika G.

    I've lived in Fresno my whole life and have been meaning to try Libélula forever, but I finally was able to recently, and it was fantastic! We got two chicken sandwiches, and they were packed with meat and flavor. The romesco chicken sandwich was nice and fresh, and the pickle chicken sandwich was also flavorful. We also got the chili mac and cheese (not pictured), and that was SOOO good. Would come back for that alone. As for the service--it was great! I think our server's name was Kim. She was so sweet and helpful with the menu and the wait time. In general, she was just very friendly and inviting. The restaurant itself is small but cute and very decorated. I would come back!

    I have been coming here since quarantine and their food is delicious every time! It's a gem in our downtown. The food changes with the seasons, so things do go away and come back. There is also a baker attached to them!

    I been wanting to try this place cus the menu looks good. First of all, parking sucks! Not only is the parking across the street, you have to pay with the meter since this place is located downtown. Parking meter takes tap now but sometimes it gives me a hard time. I had to try three times until it accepted. Had to park a lil far cus most of the closer parking was took. Walking in, we were greeted with a smile from the lady. The inside is cute, it has some old pictures of how downtown Fresno used to look., they got some art on the wall. Gave me a hipster feel to it.. we told the lady we was taking it to go and she gave us a menu. I was lowkey bummed out cus the menu pictures on Yelp looks like they had way more on their menu. We went in the morning so I'm not sure if it was a breakfast brunch menu or if that was just it.. took me a while to finally decide because I wasn't really interested in some of the stuff on that particular menu. I ended up going with the mushroom toast. The lady came to check on us and informed us they also had some specials on the board. My bf went with one of the burrito specials. I don't remember what it's called but it had cheese curds in it. Food came out nice and hot. Got home and ate. The toast for me was hard to cut into for some reason.. but the mushroom mix with the crème fraiche tasted good. The eggs were cooked perfectly. My bf enjoyed his burrito. I had a bite and thought it was good too. The service was nice but I wish I could've went in there with a more wider selection on the menu but like I said, maybe it was a breakfast brunch menu? Idk.

    Ube French Toast
    Celina T.

    Hands down the best french toast I've ever had. I scarfed it down in 10 minutes. The service was great (quick) and appreciate the recs from the server. She would check in from time to time (so attentive!). Don't be fooled by the exterior - it may look like it's at a bad part of town, but once you walk in, you'd be shocked with the execution if their meals. I'd love to come back to try something else on their menu. It's very diverse and creative in what they can pull off (some are asian inspired).

    Always amazing food and great service! The best biscuits in town. You won't be able to stop thinking about the ACAB. The young lady who served me was quick and checked on me multiple times.

    Strawberry stuffed French Toast, with a side of a fried egg.
    Brian B.

    Got there Saturday morning at about 10:30 and had a choice of tables for 5. Nice start. Our group had two Big Dill sandwiches, a Falafel Smash Burger, and Mushroom Noods. I'm on a low sodium diet so avoided a lot on the menu, and went with the Strawberry Stuffed French Toast and had a fried egg on the side. Mine was fabulous. I didn't taste the others, but everyone loved their choices. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was a perfect funky. The bakery goods were delicious as well.

    Brunch on a weekday and it was as good as I remember. They still have the korma sauce and charge $4 as a side but ngl... I'm not even mad about it. It's savory, delicious and similar to an Indian curry. I ate it with tots. I also ordered the veg Benedict. After I ate my meal, I realized I may have gotten this same order the last time I was here. Muscle memory, perhaps? Amazing both times. Service was friendly, great and fast. Bathroom has downtown homeless vibes, but I'm not even bothered with how memorable the food is. Take my money!

    Big A$$ Breakfast Burrito
    Wendy F.

    Although this place is a run down and not in the best part of Fresno, I highly recommend the food. As the other reviews said, this is definitely a hole in the wall place. The food was really good and full of flavor. Every item that each of my party ordered was not disappointing at all. The inside decor is a little quirky and unique, a lot of random retro looking designs and items on the wall and the tables. Service was great for my large party of 7 and they kept checking in on us throughout the time. Would recommend checking this place out.

    The food is pretty amazing. The elevate, traditional dishes. I always ask what the staff what they recommend and what the seasonal items are. Super cute for content with the mix of art on the wall.

If you didn't make reservations and ask if being seated outside is faster to get seated. 3. They will ask for a phone number to text you your in the waiting list and when your table is ready. 4. Food comes out fast. Bottomless coffee. 5. Some items you can choose 1 side order or 2 side orders. 6. Look at the menu before going or while waiting (posted here on Yelp) There are so many options and if you're hungry you might be in a hurry to order and miss something you really would have wanted to order. 7. Becareful don't have "Big eyes" these are good size portions my wife and I shared and still couldn't finish. You can get all the normal diner style favorites like eggs, bacon, sausage and a whole plate size pancake or get a Pork Verde breakfast omelette or opt for a burrito. To make a long story longer here's a summary : Make RSVPs, Bottomless decent coffee, look at menu ahead of time, Service is good but they are busy so please be kind, and as always if possible bring a friend to share this with and Enjoy.

I didn't mind it, I've been here once before (a very long time ago), but the wait was a lot longer than we anticipated today... We saw 5 different groups who put their names down AFTER us get seated BEFORE us. 2 groups of 4, 2 groups of 3, and another with just 2 (like us)... the hostess, as nice as she was, missed our name on the list somehow-- and she was going back and forth between two lists at the time. There was one clear list when I signed up with only 2 or 3 groups ahead of us. So, yeah. Apart from the really long wait (with limited space + rain outside)... the staff was super friendly and made it hard to be upset, honestly. I think my hanger had a good pull on my mood as well. We got our drink orders taken right away. He got a soda, I got a coffee. I wish the coffee tasted better than it did, but whatevs. We ordered the Cinnamon Roll French Toast (1/2 order) to share, as well as the Bull Dog Jalapeño Cheddar sausage plate. Each plate came with a side of eggs (he got over hard, I got over easy)... choice of bacon or sausage for the French Toast-- he chose bacon. The sausage dish came with country potatoes and [we chose] toast. The sausage was pretty good, I just wish it was warmer. It didn't feel hot at all. The eggs and potatoes were as they should be. Bacon was nice and crispy. The Cinnamon Roll was my favorite portion of our meal (sweet but not overly sweet-- don't drown it in syrup), but I saved it for last and by the time I got to it... I was almost stuffed! We still cleared our plates though. That melted butter makes all the difference though... spread that baby out! All in all, once I finally got coffee and food in my system... I was able to enjoy our breakfast and not be hung up on the wait. I understand they were super busy, I saw it with my own eyes, it was the mere fact we were skipped over multiple times is all. Anywho, not the best I've ever had but it got the job done. Would this place be my first choice next time? Probably not. Would I come back again? Yes, just not when I'm starving and hangry! K, byeee.

    This is my first time at a Lazy Dog, so I have a lot to consider!…read more First, the overall ambiance and environment are great! I like the decor and the theme, which I might call "casual country/ranch." The layout is nice, with a prominent bar as the central axis of the "wagon wheel" of seating, and additional seating in lower-level dining areas and on the patio as well. They also have an open kitchen concept, which adds a nice dynamic of watching the chefs at work. The hostess was pleasant and quickly seated me, and the server was right behind her. The server, Eric, who was very efficient in all his work, quickly took my drink order (China Mist iced tea) while I finalized my food order. I had found some intriguing items online while scoping out my plan of attack before arriving here on a road trip stopover, but I found something in the paper menu that changed some of my mind. So, I settled on the original idea of Crispy Deviled Eggs (lightly fried, topped with smoked paprika and bacon candy) and switched to a Grilled 5-Cheese Sandwich (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Jack, on Parmesan sourdough toast), with no side and a chopped wedge salad added (plus $5), "86" the bacon. The food came quickly, and I had to try the eggs first, of course! They were indeed crunchy, and the egg white part (which is the only fried part; the stuffing is placed later) was not too rubbery, as I may have thought, given that it was boiled and then fried. The stuffing was tasty, as well (although not as good as MY homemade eggs! ). The grilled cheese was ooey-gooey, and the cheesy (although I thought I tasted some light garlic?) toasted bread was a nice change, and with the assorted cheeses, those cheese flavors all worked together nicely. And the salad, which I did eat "first" (after an initial egg sampling for official Yelp business!), was fresh and generous, and well-appointed with red onion and blue cheese crumbles. The only complaint, such as it is, is that the salad bowl would not hold still! It was very slippery on the table (it seemed like a porcelain-covered metal), so I had to anchor it with a finger while the fork rummaged through the salad. But a minor hiccup in an otherwise great meal. All the food was great, and I took some home as it was a bit too much for me. I will be back for those other menu items I saw, and I'm glad there are other locations closer to the north, where I live, but how have I not heard of this place?!?!?! A NEW favorite!
