"I'm back for another visit, and after trying more than half the menu, I'm confident in giving this place a five-star rating. The bread is consistently fantastic, and every sub I've tried is generously filled and flavorful. The pictures below showcase the Salty Dog, which I had served hot, and I highly recommend it. However, my personal favorite is the Mad Italian!"

"We went for lunch on Friday. There wasn't a crowd when we got there, but it got busier by 1 PM. We were seated right away and our waitress was friendly. The menu had a decent selection of Irish food, but the prices were a bit high. The food came out quickly and everyone enjoyed their meals, but no one was overly enthusiastic. They said it was good, but their reaction was lukewarm. I would typically give this experience four stars, but I'm deducting one star for a noticeable trip hazard that wasn't marked."

"The food at this restaurant is excellent, showcasing the freshness typical of Thai cuisine, particularly their Pad Khing Sod. The lunch specials are very affordably priced at $9.25, a rarity among Thai restaurants in the DMV area. I also enjoy the Pad Kra Prao Talay, which has an authentic taste reminiscent of Bangkok. The service was very friendly, and the restaurant itself is impeccably clean. It can be easy to overlook, especially if you don’t pass by the Giant, but once you locate it, I highly recommend visiting for a fantastic dining experience."

"Our server was Christal and she was excellent. She was very friendly and upbeat. The food was very good overall, although my dad's egg Benedict did arrive about 8 minutes after everyone else's, but he still said it was delicious. The restaurant was a little cramped for our party of 7 in a tiny room. One issue we had was that the bathrooms were not clean at all, which was a downfall for us. If a restaurant can keep their restrooms clean, it gives us confidence that their kitchen is clean as well."

"Life took us from from Leesburg to Fairfax today and we decided to lunch at Lazy Dog (they have plans to add a location in Landsdowne) and see what 's to come . . . We were greeted promptly with an offer of the dining room or patio and, because it was a gorgeous fall afternoon, we selected the patio (but not before noticing a nice, spacious interior with a big wood fireplace that may come in handy for later in the year as the weather cools). It was busy, but not packed on the patio and our server came over quickly. An animated young man, Josh, well mannered and informative, walked us through how it worked and our specials. After mentioning it was our first time, he offered us a free order of the house chips hand made garlic parm that were delicious. We ordered goat cheese and pepper jelly appetizer and I had the Fish Chips, that Josh recommended and my wife had the Thai Chicken Salad (which was enormous). Quality and taste were exceptional, Josh was attentive and polite, with a touch of humor, which we appreciated Two large drafts , but no dessert all for less than $90,including a generous tip for Josh who deserves this 5 star review. Well done Lazy Dog and Josh. We 'll be back !"
