What People Say
Most Liked
Food quality is a major highlight. Diners rave about the gourmet hotdogs, tastily twisted into combinations like the Maryland Dog and the Rubén Dog. There’s a dish for every palate, from hearty burgers to lighter vegan options that leave no one behind.
The lively atmosphere contributes to its charm with live music events adding to the experience. People gather here, not just for food but for the community vibe that The Dog House fosters.
Price points are another favorite. Satisfying meals generally sit well around $10 to $20, making it affordable without compromising quality. Plus, the quick service allows for a relaxed dining experience even on crowded days.
Most Disliked
Limited parking is often a concern at The Dog House, particularly during peak times, such as Saturday afternoons when it reaches full capacity.
While the ambiance is mostly upbeat, some may find the noise level higher during busy times due to the live music and energetic crowds. This could deter those looking for a quiet dining experience.
On occasion, certain menu items could run out as they are made fresh daily, resulting in disappointment if you had your heart set on a specific dish. Focusing on popular offerings might help alleviate this issue.

The Dog House is Back! And boy did they start to pack in! Not down with dogs? Warm up to some chili, chow down on a salad, rake in a Reuben... Plenty of options for the whole family! 🌭🍔🥘😋🥗🍟🥪 I think this new location is great! It is right on the square where salsa Mama used to be and they've done a great job of setting the decor and ambience. We even saw a few people come in simply to look around and check out the new place and everybody was impressed. Lots of seating for various party sizes. I saw they even Had live music the other night. Our table had a Chicago dog, steak and cheese sub, grilled cheese, mozzarella sticks, and even a Hug! 😊 The little one was a little fussy today (toddlers 😅) but loved the big window view and admiring the doggie. Make sure to stop by soon! I need to try the fried PB&J...

I've stopped in here a few times for a dog and a beer. Always great food and service and excellent prices for large portions. A nice chill vibe and I really like the bar set-up. Great location right in the square to stop on the way to a Boxcars game!

They definitely know how to turn a simple hotdog into a gourmet meal! We both enjoyed our choices off the extensive menu, the Ruben Dog & Buffalo Chicken Dig. So many to choose from. Can’t wait to visit again so I can try more items off the menu! Returned on 3/10/23 and tried The Maryland Dog. So delicious!

We really enjoyed this place! This staff is super nice! There are so many options for a yummy twist to a hotdog. We tried the Maryland dog, the Ruben dog, and the Mac and cheese dog with a side of crab fries. Yummmm! Recommend them, for sure!

Cute shop, with creative dogs in every combo you can imagine. My husband had the hillbilly dog I believe and I had the Reuben. Friendly staff, clean store. Limited paid street parking. There is a parking lot just behind the building on the left side.
