| - Today was one of those "Im hungry and don't want to cook a big meal nights so lets check out the happy hour" days. Mondays are hard enough! lol.
Today had some errands to run at downtown Summerlin ( returns ) and so we decided to check out one of many restaurants in Downtown Summerlin. Funny thing is out of all the ones we have not tried yet, this was our choice as we have been repeat diners here. Bring your furry friend for outdoor patio seating.
Happy Hour is where it is! We ordered a plate of Nachos, some Mac N Cheese and i saw "Fire fried rice" so i just had to try it. The Nachos are HUGE! Repeat, HUGE. Had we known they were that big, we would not have ordered the other stuff.
We ended up taking enough leftovers home for a whole other meal. The rice was just as depicted plus it had a nice sunny side up egg sitting right on top! A little Sriracha and we are off to the races! The Mac n Cheese was awesome as were the Nachos. The rice is a must try!
Well, we decided to save money and just order water but the beer selection was just to tempting not to try. A pale ale for the wife and a Hefewiezen for yours truly. All of that and we got out for under 27 bucks.
There are plenty of servers and the service is top notch here. They are on their "A" game here. I love the rustic lodge decor depicted.
As for the story of Lazy Dogs ..... Read Below .... I love Jackson Hole!
Growing up, Chris and his family would vacation in the breathtaking mountains of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Whether it was skiing in the winter or fishing in the summer, Chris will tell you that even today it is the place he goes when he wants to get away and relax.
When you are in any one of the Lazy Dog restaurants, you will see how Chris has tried to capture and recreate the feeling he gets when in Jackson Hole. He wants you to feel like you are walking into a place that is the perfect balance of warm and comfortable, yet full of excitement and positive energy.
For Chris, the lodge represents vacations with family and friends. Jackson Hole is a small town with a true sense of hospitality. Get your car stuck in the snow, and the next person who passes by will stop to help. Most likely, they'll even know your name.
Where did the Lazy Dog name come from? One snowy afternoon, walking back into the lodge after a long morning on the slopes, Chris noticed a dog lying by the toasty fireplace. Commenting to his buddies on how much he loved his time hanging out there, he told them he wished everyone could enjoy life as much as that "lazy dog' by the fire.
On their last run down the ski slopes in Jackson Hole, everyone has one thing on their mind: get these skis off and head to the lodge. Whether you're sitting by the fire or bellying up to the bar, the servers and bartenders know what you like and treat you like you're one of the family. The lodge has cold beer, hot chocolate, incredible food and great music, making it the place to be in town.
Just like the lodge in Jackson Hole, the Lazy Dog offers the perfect environment for all ages, making the entire restaurant the place to be for a quick dinner with the family, a meandering meal with friends or a night out on the town.
