Lazy Dog Cafe, a chain of Southern California restaurants, is opening its 10th location on Fourth Street between Richmond Place and Buffalo Avenue in Rancho Cucamonga. Construction of the restaurant is expected to be complete in March or April.

The Planning Commission last night gave the green light on the cafe, which will have a bar and outdoor dining space. Moni Dosanjh of RSI Group, which represents the restaurant, told the commission the menu includes everything from meat loaf to calamari to kung pao chicken.

"I like the look and feel of the restaurant. It has that kind of craftsman bungalow look that fits very well with Fourth Street," said commission Chairman Lou Munoz. "I'm partial to Not Your Mom's Meatloaf. It sounded pretty mouth-watering."

Not Your Mom's Meatloaf was among the more standard items on the menu. Lazy Dog also dishes up some unique items such as spicy fried chicken lollipops and sweet potato tater tots.

The 9,400-square-foot restaurant will be built on an empty parcel near where the Mel's Drive-in used to be. Dosanjh said this is the first time the restaurant is building from the ground up, as opposed to moving into an existing space.

"We're looking forward to go under construction," he said. "This building will be our prototype."

Tomorrow, the restaurant is expected to wrap up construction of its West Covina restaurant.

OMG...awesome!!

This is the best news I've heard all week! Lazy Dog is one of my favorite chains. It's one of those places that you might think is one thing, but it turns out to be someplace completely different, and that's good.

I would lump it into the "'s" (Chili's/Applebee's/T.G.I.Friday's) category, but would you be able to order Moroccan chicken with couscous at one of those?

I think you know the answer.

Welcome, Lazy Dog Cafe!
