Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar

Did not have a good experience. Asked for a gluten sensitive entree off the menu and got something completely different and the server was really rude about it. Ended up eating what they gave me (grilled chicken, white rice and mashed potatoes). Grilled chicken was disgusting & super dry and my potatoes had random black beans in them. They did end up taking it off the bill without me asking but they were not very apologetic about it. Everyone else that ate was not GF but did say most of their stuff was not good. Would not recommend as they had only a few Gluten Sensitive options and your chances of being Cross contaminated are high. They do not have GF buns or bread either. You can bring your dogs and enjoy the atmosphere, so was very sad I did not get to enjoy the food.

Would not recommend for celiac. Chicken breast was terrible. Server advised to look online for what was gluten sensitive and was rude.

Would not recommend for celiacs. Tried to get what I thought would be the safest option: grilled chicken (which was very bland!). Didn't enjoy my meal AND got sick afterwards

Gluten sensitive menu was promising but the hamburger (no bun) I ordered from it came up as gluten found when tested with Nima. My companions enjoyed their meals. Would not recommend for Celiacs.

No

I ordered the grilled salmon, basmati rice and sauteed spinach along with the tequila honey squeeze cocktail which was very good.

Very little on the menu for GF and I was told the fries are absolutely not safe as they are beer battered, so opted for a side of fruit (which was hilariously just a huge slice of admittedly very delicious watermelon).

When the food arrived, the (as I had been told) very glutenous fries were laid directly on top of the burger to where they had melted into the cheese. I was there for an interview so I didn’t return the food which was my mistake. I had a horrific migraine after eating there which is one of my symptoms.

While in Fresno for a doctors appointment my husband and I had dinner at this restaurant because he really wanted a burger. Although they have a gluten free menu they do not guarantee there will be no cross contamination. I nearly always order a salad when eating out because it’s usually a safer option. Not at this restaurant. The food was tasty and the service adequate but there was definitely cross contamination. I would not recommend this chain if you are a celiac.

I order from the gluten sensitive menu all the time with zero problems. Staff always ‘flags’ my dishes when ordered and brought to the table. I order the GS Sweet & Spicy Wok all the time and it is delicious!
