Review Mad Dog Cafe - San Diego

Rashaad Forehand
This is a good place to have good American food. The service was good and the food was good. I would go back for sure but I will admit it’s nothing special. I enjoyed my time In here and the chicken Parmesan was tasty. I will say the queso dip appetizer was excellent and was one of the best I’ve had.

Let me start with the ambience it was really good. What catched my attention was that this place is dog friendly, and they have a special menu for them. We went there during happy hours. Their menu for happy hours is really good both for food and drink. Our waitress was really helpful and attentive. The food was amazing, and the portion size was also good. We ordered mediterranean trio, Chipotle chicken quesadilla, thai noodles, and Curry chicken. The first 3 were really good, but curry chicken I felt was average. It's definitely a must visit place.

My family and I came here for lunch on a Sunday. It wasn't very busy, we didn't have to wait to be seated. Ambience/Service: I love the restaurant, it wasn't super bright or too loud. The servers were amazing, attentive and recommended good dishes. 5/5 Food: My family loved their Campfire pot roast. The meat melted in your mouth, it was delicious and so was the mashed potatoes underneath. 5/5 The chicken cordon bleu was so thinly sliced but the frying made it extra crunchy and delicious. It was probably our favorite dish out of everything we ordered. 1000/5! The soy glazed salmon tasted off. The "soy glazed" was just teriyaki sauce and the sweetness of it threw our taste buds off. The rice was also a bit dry. We weren't a fan of this dish. 3/5 Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant. We even ordered 6 TV dinner home. It's a good spot for lunch.

Great atmosphere and even better food! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious!! Had the fried deviled eggs, cheese curds, bison meatloaf, chicken sando, butter cake and chocolate mousse. Everything was plated beautifully and tasted phenomenal. Restaurant is nicely decorated with a rustic feel. Service was great. They also had mocktails which made my night!

If you haven’t made it to Lazy Dog yet, you’re making the same mistake we did. We figured it would be like you-know-what factory but we were very wrong. Popped in midweek for late night eats cuz it was the only place open near us that wasn’t fast food or Mexican and we regret not going sooner. The fried deviled eggs were fantastic and beat others we have had by leaps and bounds. There is a reason their bbq bison meatloaf is highlighted because it’s a don’t miss. And for the people like extra crispy, the pretzel chicken schnitzel you’ll love and may want to ask for extra of the German potato salad which os the closest I have had to being as good as my homemade.

Wow! Where do I start. First off make reservations as this place is super busy. The food is amazing! A place we will be going back to. The menu items a reasonably priced. We had Fish Taco’s, Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken, a Child’s Hamburger, Bacon Burger, Tex Mex Salad, and Cheese Curds. Everyone really liked what they ordered. Our waitress was super friendly and very attentive. I would highly recommend checking out this restaurant.

Absolutely Amazing 🤩 The art around the restaurant is so unique and beautiful. I love the stone walls and wood pieces inside, the decor of this place is too cute. We waited about 10 minutes after putting our names on the list(no reservation). There’s a patio/ outdoor seating you can bring your dogs and enjoy the yummy food and good vibes together. Our server was Great! She brought waffle chips for us to try which were interesting, it gave me homemade Lays chips vibes. We weren’t sure which wine to order so she thankfully brought out the house red and another to try. House wine was yummy The Non alcoholic drink was Soo good! My daughter enjoyed the chicken nuggets and she’s a picky eater ! The meatloaf was Soo delicious and my mom had the ribs and described them as “unlike any other ribs I’ve had before! I want to savor this I can’t rush and eat it!” 😆 The deviled eggs were Soo surprisingly delicious!!! Great Service Good Vibes and even better food

Came here just before mid day and it was already getting quite busy. The service was fast and I didn’t see anyone waiting too long for their food. I ended up getting the Sweet Potato tots with a jalapeño aioli as a small starter along with the Chicken Katsu Sandwich with a side of pickled cucumber and a Golden Road Mango Cart Wheat ale. The tots were nice and hot and the aioli had a good kick to it. The chicken sandwich was surprisingly small, coming with just three sliced portions but it tasted great and balanced really well with the pickled cucumbers. I am normally a cider or wine drinker but the mango wheat ale had great flavor to it. Overall, great food, speedy service and a nice open atmosphere. I definitely recommend coming here, especially for lunch as it wasn’t too loud but still felt lively.

The waiter was helpful, fast, and kind. Explained the dishes very well. The Korean bowl was the best. All the other dishes were good, but not our favorite. It was lunch, so seating was available. Heat lamps on the patio made outside dining comfortable. Would recommend, though it is a little price forward.

The fried deviled eggs were amazing especially the candied bacon topper. The flat iron steak dinner was excellent including the mashed potatoes and spinach. Service was excellent and all employees were busy.

Delicious food and great service! Everything is dog themed and the vibe generally excellent but I'm striking off a point since the booth seating we received wasn't clean enough to our liking. We tried the Buffalo Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts and the Falafel + Hummus road trip bowls. All of them were really tasty!

Just moved here and have already been to this restaurant 3 times 😅 the food has been SO good it just keeps bringing us back! Service both dining in and utilizing the drive up option has been fantastic. Some of the foods we’ve tried have been the Chicken Katsu Road-trip Bowl, Pot Roast Beef Dip (a staple order, regretfully not pictured), Dirty Dog (a surprising favorite 😋), Thai Noodles (will absolutely order again- packed full with its shrimp, tofu, and chicken- so good!), Buffalo chicken nuggets, umami fries (so good, but recommend asking for the sauce on the side it can be a little overwhelming when it’s drenched on the fries!), and their frescas/ lemonades! You really can’t go wrong with almost anything you order from our experience, absolutely recommend for quick lunches or sit down dinners!

It was worth the drive from our ocean front stay. My husband said the Bison meatloaf was the best he's ever had, so that warranted him the silent treatment for a few seconds, because I thought I made the best meatloaf. Then I tried it and it was pretty darn good. I was curious about their Pahd Thai, and that was pretty darn close to what I make, they did not skimp on the shrimp! Their calamari could be a meal on its own, very different from the boring fried surf and turf style. Best Old Fashion, we've ever had! We had a great first experience! Our service was perfect! Thank you!

It's always a good time there! Love that the dogs can come too! The food is good. I'm not overly impressed, but I'm not disappointed either. Usually, go with a group and sit outside. Eat, chat, and the staff never makes us feel rushed. They have a decent size,drink menu, and very tasty non alcohol drinks, too.

The servers are always nice and attentive. The food is great. The Bacon Candy is a must try! They have good appetizers and small plates and are enough to share or make a meal. They have seasonal items on their menu, so there is always something new to try. I've never had a bad dish here.
