Lazy Dog in Montclair is a natural go-to for dog lovers. Located at Montclair Place, this welcoming restaurant combines scratch-made comfort food with a warm, lodge-inspired setting, and it goes the extra mile to include your pup in the outing.
Dogs are invited to join you on the spacious outdoor patio, where staff are quick with a water bowl and a smile. The real treat? A dedicated dog menu that includes grilled hamburger patties or chicken breast served with brown rice. It’s a thoughtful touch that shows Lazy Dog takes the “dog-friendly” label seriously.
Inside, the restaurant feels like a cozy mountain retreat, with fireplaces, warm lighting, and big-screen TVs for game day. While dogs must stay outside, the patio is well-equipped for lingering over drinks and dinner with your four-legged sidekick by your side. It’s especially popular for weekend brunch and casual gatherings with friends.
The food menu is broad and satisfying, featuring comfort favorites like pot roast, fried chicken, bison meatloaf, and seasonal specials like wild boar chili or seared ahi tuna. Drink options include craft cocktails, local beer, and house-brewed selections like the Huckleberry Haze IPA or the Ankle Buster Blonde. There’s plenty to enjoy, whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal or just a snack and a sip.
Lazy Dog Montclair is open daily for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, with happy hour specials and a relaxed, come-as-you-are vibe. Dogs are always welcome on the patio, and the setting makes it easy to settle in and enjoy some quality time with good food, good company, and a place that understands your dog is part of the family.
