We visited Lazy Dog in Garland, TX after my husband called ahead specifically asking about gluten-free options. He was assured that they had a separate fryer and that it would be safe for me, as I have celiac disease. However, when we arrived, I found that they only have a "Gluten Sensitive" menu, which clearly states:
> Lazy Dog Restaurant + Bar is not a gluten-free restaurant. The following dishes are modified to remove ingredients containing gluten. Cross contact may occur during storage, preparation or production of the menu items.
In reality, this means the food is not safe for anyone who medically requires gluten-free food — including celiacs or people with actual gluten sensitivity. Having a dedicated fryer for a few items does not make up for the risk of cross-contact elsewhere in the kitchen or storage areas.
I wish that when my husband called, they had been upfront about this. If you're simply avoiding gluten as a preference or trend, you may find options. But if you need strict gluten-free food for medical reasons, this restaurant is not safe.
Clear and honest communication on the phone would have saved us a trip and the risk.
This spot offers a welcoming, cozy atmosphere with a clean, nice setting ideal for gluten-free diners. The menu clearly marks gluten-free options, and the staff is knowledgeable about gluten allergies, ensuring a safe and comfortable dining experience.

Date night.
Service- no real smiling, more of a professional than fun experience. Server was good, but walked by a few times with an empty drink on the edge of the table and empty plates. Small 2 top booth, so space mattered. Server also checked on us once after first bite. Never got her name. Staff was also hanging out at the table next to us. Got to listen to their personal stuff.
Atmosphere- Nice and clean. Only real issue was the bathroom was a mess.
Food- it was ok. Fries were overcooked and over salted. Baked potato was undercooked. Steak was tough. Banana pudding was bland and flavorless. Chocolate cake, I was told would be warm and fantastic, it was good, but cold.
Overall just a mediocre visit. No fun, no personality and ok food. Might be a one off visit and might go back but not rushing back at $50 per person.
They do have gluten free listed on the menu by items. I did appreciate that.
