Lazy Dog!

So there's this place that I always pass in my local Target shopping center. It's called Lazy Dog Cafe and it's a really low-key, cozy, casual restaurant with a somewhat rustic charm, despite the fact that they've got a bar and decent happy hour and everything. The menu has a decent selection, including quite a drink list (alcoholic drink list).

So last night after some shopping at the mall, Corina and I swung by for a "quick" dinner. I mean, we didn't even bother looking at the full menu, we just looked at the starters and small bites section. And well... starters aren't exactly small either.

Corina's order of the nachos with carne asada chili and all the fixin's (7.95)... look at that cozy fire going on back there.

My order of the blackened chicken quesadilla (9.45) was quite tasty. I particularly loved the melted and crispy cheese on top of the tortilla - in fact, I liked it more than the chicken (which was still tasty) on the inside! And the salsa/guacamole/sour cream they provided was not skimpy at all. Gosh that quesadilla looks delicious right now.

Anyhow, would I recommend this place? Sure! The last time I had gone with the hubster, he had ordered a beer sampler which had, I believe 5 beers (ales) come out on what looked like a wooden painter's palette. They weren't large glasses of beer, but decent enough size... at that point, the hubster couldn't even get through them all. But then again, that was a couple of years ago... let's say his alcoholic consumption/tolerance has increased... exponentially... (but then again, he's more of a lager than an ale person anyway)...

Next time I'll have their Sweet Potato Tater Tots. Doesn't THAT sound delicious???
