If you’re a dog lover you’ll love the dog-friendly patio where you can order rice, chicken and water for your canine. If you’re not a dog lover you’ll want to avoid the patio altogether. There are dogs of all shapes and sizes and some are less well behaved than others. Some owners are completely oblivious to what their dogs are doing. One big dog was climbing on top of my kid and I had to yell at the dog to get down and the owner to watch their pet.
The food is better than your average chain restaurant, but still has a calculated, impersonal feel to it. The Tex-Mex salad was a standard, serviceable version. Hawaiian sticky ribs weren’t as tender as I expected, but the Asian flavors delivered a powerful kick of tanginess and sweetness, served with fries covered with a spicy mayo sauce. The best item I’ve tried at Lazy Dog was the Carolina pulled pork sandwich. Served on a brioche bun, the combo of tender pork covered in a tangy BBQ sauce and the sharpness from bleu cheese was a winner in my book.
While not the best restaurant at Downtown Summerlin, it is the most pet-friendly and that counts for something, right?
