tl;dr the food here was really not great... I came here with a few folks for lunch a couple days ago. It took us awhile to decide what to order because the menu was just so... extensive. It seems like their specialties are their sandwiches, pizzas, and pastas, but there were at least 10 20 options for each category. Not to mention, about half of their menu were highlighted as a Lost Dog favorite which means, they either have a lot of favorites or that says something negative about the menu items that aren 't their favorites, haha. We decided to get a couple appetizers to share along with our own entrees. It took a while to choose what to order because there were so many options. ITALIAN FRIE...
Pleasant atmosphere. Wait staff harried. A BLT? Disaster. (1). Ordering I was told I couldn't order it as a BLT (even though on the menu). OK I ordered bread, bacon, lettuce and tomato w NO mayo. I was asked if i wanted bacon on it. Remember the BLT was on the menu. Later I was charged extra for the bacon and didn't notice any extra. Still, those are the little things that often come with the biz. (2) When the sandwich came with mayo slathered on it I asked for one without mayo. The server apologized and while checking his order computer mumbled something about kitchen error. Ok that happens. (3) Ten minutes after the others' food had arrived I got a BLT w no mayo. I've never had one with th...
Not great. The lost dog chili dip was too liquidy to be a dip and would be better as a bowl of soup. My daughters mac and cheese looked like Kraft. It was dry and definitely not made fresh. My other daughter had the pita pizza which was pretty bland. My salad had a lot of liquid in it like they put very wet lettuce. Dog collars were also soggy and looked leftover as well. #23 was pretty good and fresh but to add fries or onion rings they charge you for an entire appetizer making a single sandwich and fries or onion rings over $20. They were not busy but the waiter forgot our beer. Overall not impressed with food or service.
The service and vibe are great. Definitely try their collaboration IPA with Solace if they have it. However the food was not good. I had the Philly chicken cheesesteak and my daughter the grilled cheese. The cheese on the grilled cheese was dry and not melted through. The chicken on the cheesesteak seemed precooked and sliced as if they use it on multiple sandwiches. The cheese was simply wilted on top. This was not the gooey cheesesteak that you normally expect. We love the idea of lost dog and even adopted our dog from here. I want to like the food too but they need to step up there game.

I used to really enjoy this place, but after returning to town, I can see that it's poorly managed now. The selection of beers available for takeaway has shrunk to about a third of what it used to be. The food has improved only slightly beyond that of Subway or McDonald's. The staff are mostly inexperienced young people (not entirely their fault), lacking the guidance or critical thinking necessary for their roles. I recommend seeking out a better option.
The reason for my 3-star rating is the service, which was really pleasant! The girl at the front was friendly and helped me promptly. She had a warm and welcoming demeanor, and despite the apparent staff shortage, she worked diligently.
The atmosphere is very casual, though it was a bit too dimly lit for my taste. However, it seems like a nice place to enjoy a quick lunch. It also appeared to be clean and well-maintained, which is a plus!
As the marketing literature says, it 's a funky, family-oriented type place. Parents get to enjoy beers while the kids chow down and look at the doggie murals. We tend to cycle through the same pizzas and sandwiches which are usually pretty solid. Stay away from the waffle fries and onion rings (aka dog collars which are inconsistent and often burnt. Service varies widely from visit to visit. Despite the warts, a good neighborhood hangout.
This restaurant is a great choice for lunch. I've tried the Bulldog sandwich a couple of times this week, and it's really tasty. I also enjoyed the garlic bread with cheese. Earlier this week, my work team ordered pizzas, and they were excellent too. There's definitely a variety of delicious options to explore throughout the week. I highly recommend this place!
