Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar

Mission Valley, San DiegoMixed

Good for one thing in Roger’s book: a dog-friendly patio. The Black & Bleu burger was bland on a cold bun.

The call

The documented visit included happy hour beers and cajun fries. This record does not turn that order into a recommendation.

What to order

  • Happy hour beers
  • Cajun fries

Best for

  • Bringing a dog

★★★☆☆
“Take yourself just south of the 8 for much better grub and dog- friendly spots!”

Three stars. The patio concept worked, but the Black & Bleu burger was bland and the brioche bun cold; the Cajun fries were the fresh part.

The Kebab Shop

MediterraneanTurkish

The Mission Valley outpost of The Kebab Shop, a chain Roger has followed since its East Village original (still his favorite location); lamb doner, shawarma and kebab plates all deliver, though parking and lunch crowds are the tradeoff.

Milano Coffee & Cafe

Coffee

A quiet Mission Valley coffee lounge Roger visited mainly to work or study; the coffee itself was just ok, but the calm atmosphere and couch seating made it a reasonable place to park for a while.
