"Unusual and delicious food. Outstanding happy hour value. Our beet salad-a happy hour special, was market fresh baby beets and much better than beet salad next night at Drago Centro.
Very attentive and informed service."

"The food was delicious and place has fun ambiance. The waitress was not attentive and this somewhat compromised our experience but the hostess was friendly and ambiance lively. We went for brunch: one of us had the burger with fries, 2 had the ricotta pancakes with fruit, one had Eggs Benedict with salmon and I had the Atlantic salmon. My fish was cooked perfectly--succulent and flavorful, not dried out at all. We really enjoyed our meal and will probably return."

"Some oddball stuff, plus things like good chicken and burger. Interesting wine list with some unusual selections. Still sort of a trendy feel, but very pleasant. Nice outdoor seating now, which was great for on a warm day. Very impressed with the service for this kind of a place. And the neighborhood is trending up."

"Hubs and I revisited Lazy Ox the other night. We went specifically for the fried chicken family style meal. We order a few glasses of wine by the glass. The chicken arrived looked ok. What we received was different than the menu online and on the blackboard in the restaurant. I can understand substitutions. So the chicken was just not flavorful, and it was dry. Baked beans were ok. Coleslaw had a sour taste. And I smelled a burning smell when something arrived at our table, turns out it was the waffles that came with the meal. Looked ok on one side, burned on the bottom, Really?
They did asked if we wanted replacement waffles, we declined.
New menu at the Ox. I used to love coming here. Will try in another few months perhaps."

"This place was a favorite, now I'd hesitate to go back. The food has gone downhill, that is the food that actually arrived. After over an hour between courses, we cancelled the order and left. The excuse was the entire kitchen staff was recently replaced. Well, the kitchen makes or breaks the restaurant. Unfortunately, its really broken. And the worst part, instead of acknowledging the problem and offering some bread or something else because of the kitchen back up, the server just never came around. Dine at your on risk!"

"We've been many times and bring our friends, mostly for brunch, and it usually knocks our socks off. This time, the croque madame was still amazing, and the new chicken and waffles was pretty good, but the carmelized cauliflower, which we get pretty much every time, was not really carmelized and was cut into huge, difficult to eat and undercooked chunks. It seemed like the kitchen had cut corners with that dish due to its being a busy day (Mother's Day); but I don't think it's good practice to let the dishes slide like that. Had that been our first time ordering the cauliflower, we never would again, which is too bad since it had formerly been one of our favorites. Also, the sangria was way too sweet."

"Have been going to Lazy Ox for over a year. It has a really great vibe, delicious food, excellent selection of craft beers...just a great spot, consistently. It's one of the places we take our friends who come in from the East Coast looking to taste something delicious on this side of town. We went for dinner there Tuesday night with some friends, and it was "King Trivia" night. We had a blast! We ate great food (Smoked Trout was killer and the ribs were smoked to succulent perfection), took 3rd place in trivia, and the service was phenomenal. Lazy Ox Never Disappoints."

"Lazy Ox is no longer the "White Hot" restaurant that it once was but the food is still as good as can be. Much easier to get into and since it's not as busy as it once was, the pace isn't so crazy and you don't feel rushed like you used to. Treated out of town friends and spent almost four hours enjoying a number of dishes - Spring Risotto, Salmon, Gnocchi and Pig's Ears among the best of them. Service was terrific by all that served us and they couldn't have been more gracious about us being there so long. I love having them in the neighborhood and can recommend Lazy Ox enthusiastically!"

"Food was adequate. Service was not: We were the only ones there, but couldn't get our waitress's attention. She knew that we were going to a show and needed to leave at 7:30 p.m. (we arrised at 6:10 p.m, so plenty of time). She gave us the dessert menus early (good), but then didn't come by to take our orders--I had to get her. That was at 7:18 p.m. She didn't tell us that because one of our orders was a warm cookie, it would not come before 7:30 p.m. Then I had to find her to pay the check."

"The food was good but we were disappointed to discover that the biscuits advertised on the website weren't actually available in the restaurant. Our friends who brought us to the the restaurant mentioned the biscuits weren't available when they ate there previously. If biscuits aren't available, or are only available certain nights, the website should reflect this."

"I enjoy their spins on classics, most recently Southern Fried Chicken. The entire chicken was prepared from head to feet. How tickling to see the entire delicious body on display! The sides -- greens, coleslaw, and biscuits -- we're updated with a different herb palate that was still familiar and kick-y. Or experience was really fun even if a late-coming couple who sat beside us took umbrage to our meal and laughter."

"The food has always been great every time I've come. The few items I've managed to order each time: pig ear chicharron, lazy Ox burger, and the rice pudding for dessert. All of them consistently delicious! Don't forget some great libations, especially the sangria and Hawaiian royal if you like the girlie stuff. Overall, great place but not so great for groups. Check out the happy hour! 5-7/10-close Sun-Thurs half off certain small plates and drinks."

"Food varied from middle of the road to quite spectacular. The crab gnocchi was amazing, very flavorful, extremely well done. The smoked trout toast was also spectacular. The beet salad was average and the toad in the hole wasn't very memorable. Prices are a little on the high side for the portion size but for the dishes that were well done more than worth it. Nice place to stop by before the opera."

"Good solid LA gastropub food, with a good beer list to go along. My only complaint is that the food just didn't jump out at me, which was suprising given the prices we were paying. The best dish we had was the "Toad in the Hole", which was nothing more than a glorified egg in a basket. Good experience, and I would return, but nothing special"

"Octavio Becerra has revived the Lazy Ox -- an old favorite -- with some of his signature style from his sadly no more Palate. Beautifully plated and soulful combinations, now with a distinct Galician twist. The Thurs night special of a sea food hot pot was spectacular, the Friday night special porchetta tasty but too fatty, and the various appetizers we had both nights were fabulous."

"Was meeting 2 friends from different parts of town in a central location and had heard great things about Lazy Ox Canteen - all true! Tasty and eclectic small plates and entrees shared among the three of us were delicious and well complemented by a wide-ranging choice of off-the-beaten-path wines available by the glass. We greatly enjoyed roasted cauliflower (sounds unexciting, but don't be fooled!), smoked salmon with herb butter, beet salad with smashed avocado, crispy roast chicken with sauteed bitter greens. They topped it all off with sinful chocolate pudding. Beautiful presentation, too - could have been set up for a still life painting - until there was nothing left but orts, which didn't take long. Definitely going back. Deelish!"

"Lazy Ox Canteen continues to impress but sad to hear that they removed one of their dishes I continued coming back for and a dish that many other diners have commented on via yelp, that being their 'Polenta' very unique to Lazy Ox Canteen and will definitely drive my decision on how soon I visit Lazy Ox Canteen.
Regards,
Julio"

"The food was sub-par and it was way too noisy. Every time I tried to order, they were out of what I wanted. This happened three times and it was way too early in the evening to be out of dishes, and even drinks! The mushroom ravioli was about about the worst dish I've had out in ages. Rubbery mushrooms and super-rich but watery sauce.My friend had giant prawns that were tough as shoe leather. A thumbs-down completely. And how can you advertise a soda made of ginger and lemon grass, and then be 'out' of it? This was an absurd dining experience and one I will never repeat."

"waited forever for our food during lunch- in a half empty restaurant. We watched three other tables get their food before us, and they were seated after us. Finally one entree came out-lukewarm. The other entree didn't show up for another 15min. This was a special outing since we are due for our second baby and wont be getting out of the house much for awhile. We liked the menu and the food but the kitchen totally botched our order. The server tried his best-but not a great experience."

"It wasn't busy when we first got there, but it did get busier later on, probably due to DineLA week. It did take a long time for our food to come out and we ended up having to take a longer lunch break from work than usual."
