We feel that our family-friendly atmosphere and exemplary service can be credited to our great team and we look forward to continuing this tradition in Folsom and Roseville.”
Lazy Dog’s menu is crafted by the VP of Research and Development, Gabe Caliendo, with a focus on elevated nostalgic dishes while also introducing diners to new combinations and unexpected flavor profiles that reflect seasonal influences.

Other dishes like the Seasonal Roasted Street Carrots, Lazy Dog’s take on street corn features rainbow heirloom carrots, garlic, queso blanco, cilantro lime crema and topped with Tajin. The Fried Chicken Sandwich, with hand-dipped buttermilk chicken, housemade pimento cheese spread, fiery carrot slaw, pickled jalapenos, tomato and iceberg lettuce, takes an American favorite to a whole new level. Lazy Dog’s housemade Butter Cake, topped with mint and strawberry compote and served with vanilla bean ice cream, is the best way to finish any meal.
To complement the food, Lazy Dog’s bar program features a variety of hand-crafted cocktails from the Maple Bacon Old Fashioned and seasonal features like the Tangerine Thyme Margarita to the selection of local brewery picks. The Folsom and Roseville locations will feature various local craft brews including Rubicon Monkey Knife Fight Pal Ale, Track 7 Left Eye Right Eye and Knee Deep Hoparillo Triple IPA. Chef Gabe, an expert home brewer, also collaborated with California brewery Golden Road Brewing to develop the restaurant’s house drafts, Lazy Dog Blonde, Hefeweizen, Pale Ale, Red, IPA and Stout.
