Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar is an American casual dining chain that offers a unique dining experience inspired by the warmth and hospitality of small mountain towns. Founded in 2003 by Chris Simms, the restaurant chain has grown to operate 48 locations across eight states, including California, Florida, Nevada, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, Georgia, and Virginia.

The restaurant's name was chosen to convey a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere, moving away from the initial idea of "Rocky Mountain Cafe." This decision reflects the founders' desire to create a welcoming environment for guests of all ages.

Lazy Dog's menu features made-from-scratch American cuisine with seasonally inspired ingredients. Dishes are crafted daily, including all sauces, marinades, and dressings, ensuring freshness and quality. The menu offers a variety of options, from lunch and dinner entrées to a pet-friendly dog menu, catering to diverse tastes and preferences.

In addition to its food offerings, Lazy Dog provides a selection of hand-crafted drinks, including cocktails, beers, and non-alcoholic beverages. The restaurant has partnered with select breweries to offer exclusive craft beers, enhancing the dining experience for beer enthusiasts.

To further engage with its community, Lazy Dog introduced the Lazy Dog Beer Club in 2019. This membership program offers beer lovers the opportunity to receive quarterly kits featuring specially crafted beers from various breweries, along with merchandise such as cooler bags and hats. Each kit has a unique theme, providing members with a diverse and exciting beer tasting experience.

The restaurant chain is known for its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. As of July 2024, 79% of employees reported that Lazy Dog is a great place to work, highlighting the company's positive work environment and dedication to its staff.
