Dog Haus

Soooo Cali dog is a nice avocado/​arugula light option. Cowboys a great BBQ option. I don’t like the thick roll buns much but the dogs taste great without them. Excellent customer service.
UPDATE: I was informed you can have your dogs/​burgers lettuce wrapped in lettuce if you’d like! I love that option since I have a lot of allergy issues (not gluten) with breads.

MMMM delicious!!! Love this place, it has a very creative menu. The hangover was amazing and the downtown dog was also yummy! Great ambiance and great service!

Dog Haus’s exterior sign calls it «The Absolute Würst.» This must be a typo. No, I’m not talking about the erroneous umlaut. I mean, this restaurant is the actual worst hot dog place I’ve been to.
After driving past this place dozens of times, we finally decided to stop in last night. I was immediately greeted by signs calling it «The Würst Franchise.» Why this is something they proudly tout is beyond me, but whatever.
I had a hard time deciding what to order, but finally selected the Grand Slam, a hot dog with maple sriracha, bacon, and a fried egg. The cashier taking my order then asked me if I wanted tots or fries to go with it. I selected tots… But then was hugely disappointed when my order came. I had somehow missed the fact that the Grand Slam actually has tots topping the dog as well. I know this is my bad, but I felt like the cashier should have double checked with me if I really wanted tots to go with my already tot-​filled dog. I mean, isn’t that what anyone good person would do to prevent someone else from making a that kind of mistake? Points off for the service.
My fiancé ordered the Old Town, a bacon-​wrapped hot dog topped with roasted jalapeños, some sort of chipotle sauce, and cotija cheese. Neither dog’s flavor was something to write home about. In fact, pretty much all I could taste in both dogs were the King’s Hawaiian Rolls that serve as the bun. Newsflash: King’s Hawaiian Rolls just don’t go with everything. I guess I can see why they may have been suitable for the Grand Slam (breakfast-​y like a pancake?), but they did NOT complement the spice of the Old Town at ALL. Ew.
To make matters worse for a ketchup lover like me, they don’t serve Heinz. Whatever cheap brand they use instead is quite sweet. Sweet rolls, sweet ketchup, ugh. Not good.
You’re better off spending $ 20 getting two GOOD sausages at Wurstküche. Or honestly, driving up the street to Costco for 10 hot dogs and drinks.

Ordered the Little Mule, Holy Aioli, & Chili Cheese Tots
Everything was so good! I love that they put everything in hawaiian bread.
The little mule and holy aioli are burgers. I loved the egg in the little mule because the yolk was still runny. The chili is THE BEST!!! The tater tots are great too. They both just went so well together. It’s probably the best chili I’ve ever had. I crave it every time.
Despite the long line, the food came out quick!

After spending our afternoon getting healthy and hiking we came down the hill craving some hotdogs. Just to balance out all that healthy. :)
Finally gave Dog Haus a try… Ummm yay!
This place is awesome, great selection of dogs and beer options!
Good customer service.
We didn’t really like the cheese fries-​tasted like velveeta or some sort of processed cheese. Yuck, but the tater tots were perfect-​nice and crispy.
I had the Old Town Dog– so good, but pretty spicy; I had to take off some of the jalapeños…
It’s a little pricey for a hot dog but maybe that’s what you have to pay for «gourmet» dogs?
Spent around 70 $ for everything.

Quality meat is never synonymous with — HOT DOGS… but here, IT IS.
The dogs and brats were so good that I immediately checked their website to see if they were coming to Texas (like the rest of the wise restaurants in the U.S.) and sure enough, THEY ARE! And I will be there helping them unpack, as I cheer for the construction crew building the DFW location!
YUM YUM YUM (that means I like it).

Overrated. Left disappointed. Felt like a glorified Burger King. Maybe it was just the food that day but I checked out the Unilocal reviews and was really excited. Came here with my girlfriend, I got the Freiburger and she got the little mule.
I was expecting a gourmet burger. I mean its a burger with an egg on it. the Last time I had one was at SALT on Abbott Kinney. And it was good. Maybe I’m spoiled. But this burger was nothing to tell friends about.
I couldn’t even finish it. I bagged up the other half (they don’t have boxes — clue?) and my so did my girlfriend respectively with her burger. She was polite and said it was good. But I felt a little embarrassed that I had hyped the food and we left feeling EH.
Maybe it was just the food that day. I mean the fries tasted like they were microwaved or recently de-​thawed.
then their Ketchup pump turned out to have something called Curry Ketchup instead which made the food also taste weird.
This place I think is more of a burger factory than an experience.
Come here if you’re drunk i guess; or if you lost your taste buds in a car accident or years of cunnilingus.

Went here with my God Father and it was great! Honestly more of «drunk» food, but even sober it was outrageously awesome! Great first time experience
Great atmosphere and puns everywhere. «Nice buns» my bench said… well played

Great place!
The fonz — wow what a flavor. I loved the explosion of flavor as soon as I bit into it.
Another night in Bangkok — surprised I liked this. Don’t be fooled by spicy thai currywurst. It isn’t spicy at all. The slaw tasted like chinese chicken salad.
4 selections of mustard = awesome.
I recommend the deli mustard and dijon.
My only complaint is the bread is super sweet, otherwise 5 stars.

Ordered my food ahead of time and picked it up. Took no time at all get my food and be back on my way. I had the Scott Baoili and a side of the chilli cheese fries.
First off, the hot dog was good! They serve it in a Hawaiian bread bun so it sweetens the dog a little. It had nice flavor, but it didn’t amaze me. I would definitively come back if I have a craving for a hot dog. But for the price, I would recommend Wurstkursche in Downtown LA, if you’re willing to drive a bit.
The fries were also very good! Had a nice covering of chili and cheese. You get what you expect.
I had a big appetite, but was completely filled by this meal. A good deal! I would recommend coming back here if you want a unique twist on a hot dog!

I surprised man friend by ordering him a burger and then «blindfolding» him (okay just not telling him) and taking him to Doghaus… He always wanted to try it and since we were headed up that way, and he wanted a «gourmet burger,» I figured… Let’s see what this place’s deal is!
Well, ordering over the phone was slightly obnoxious, however, I was having an «I’m annoyed at the world» day when I did this, so perhaps if I were of sound mind, it would have been a better experience? Regardless though, I put my order in… And ALMOST got what I reserved. A beef burger, medium well, no tomato, with lettuce, cheese, jalapeños… And I ordered bacon too, but they forgot… However, when I asked at check out, they realized their mistake and threw it on!
Man friend is quite possibly the pickiest burger eater (and eater in general) on the face of the planet… You’d think he were Gordon Ramsey’s restaurant critiquing clone… So when I heard him say, «holy crap this is good,» I nearly swerved into on-​coming traffic (we got the burger to go) and he wolfed I down in literally two minutes! I ordered him fries as well, cause I’m awesome, and he loved those too… They just need a little salt.
**Best Part: THE BUN. Soft, pillowy, refined carbohydrates… Mmmm!
So I have to say, I have a feeling I just converted him into a Doghaus lover… Don’t be surprised if you see him here at least 2x a week… On his own free will! You did us proud Doghaus, way to go!

One of my favorite places to get hotdogs. Everything on the menu is good. Make sure to get the chili cheese tutor tots and fries burger. Everything is on those sweet Hawaiian rolls that are so good. I wish they had a location closer to me they have one in Pasadena and Burbank. I don’t really enjoy the sweet potato fries, but that is because I am not a fan of them in general. I have been to both the Burbank and Pasadena location and the food is amazing at both places.

Dog Haus is really starting to grow on me, they are consistent in great service and tasty fried food!
I can’t even decide what I like best here, I enjoy their veggie as well as meaty hot dogs, both the veggie and regular burgers as well as all their sides!
Obsessed with their buttery grilled Kings Hawaiian rolls as well as the tater tots.
Prices and portions are fair, clean location, food comes out quickly, worth the stop!

This is either a god send or a curse.
How dare you give so many damn tantilizing options to chose from?
There are like 10 burger and Hot Dog and Bratwurts options that I want to wolf down.
And then they have cheesy tater tots?
ZOMG.
I was on a diet.
Now I’ll probably be in their back alley crying with a plate full of discarded cheesey tots crying with my gut poking out my underrsized shirt.

I’m going to keep it simple…
These dogs are HELLA good and creative.
After a weekend of straight partying in Hollywood (Hollywood style lol), this is definitely what I needed in my belly.
I ordered the Scott Biaoli dog. Instead of the grilled onions, I got mine with crispy onions!
I can’t even explain the party that was happening in my mouth when I took my first bite!
I’m really not a «hotdog eater» (haha), but this ish was so good!
I’ve made a promise to myself that I’m coming back sober and not hungover. Even though I don’t think that will change the awesome dogs this place makes! Definitely worth a try people!

Not going to lie, was pretty disappointed with my meal when I came here with my boyfriend (especially on the heels of a phenomenal meal at the Dog Haus in Thousand Oaks for a Unilocal event).
My boyfriend had a serious craving for their tots and we opted to get the chili cheese tots. He also chose a bratwurst sausage to be «corn-​dogged» and I got the Scott Baioli.
Let me say, NONE of our food was hot… it was weird, but it all seemed like it had been sitting out for a while. The tots were just ok, probably won’t go the chili cheese route again.
My Scott Baioli was ridiculously greasy/​oily. When I tried to pick it up to eat it, my hawaiian rolls ended up splitting right down the middle and the dog ended up falling out. I had to end up eating it with a knife and fork
Boyfriend’s corn dog was decent. The batter could have been a little more crisp. When the boyfriend was asking the guy behind the register for suggestions on which sausage to corn dog… the guy was absolutely clueless.
Honestly, if we hadn’t had the stellar dinner at the Unilocal event the week before, the meal we had here wouldn’t have us coming back.

For a place called the Dog Haus, the burgers are the thing to get.
This former Taco Bell doesn’t have much in the way of ambiance but makes up for it in tasty little burgers.
A quality fast casual place that doesn’t cost much more than the places with a drive-​thru has become one of my go-​tos for a burger in Burbank.

A solid 4 stars. This place has lots of cool hot dogs and sausages– some stuff they put on there you’d never think to do. The one I tried, Old Town, was really tasty. It has a little bit of spice to it, but isn’t too hot. With any of the sausages and hot dogs, you’re able to switch out for a different type of dog/​sausage (meat/​veggie) and can edit your order as you please. Lots of customization available here. Their onion rings tasted beer battered and were fried to a perfect crisp! The buns they use are different than regular hot dog buns. They’re pretty thick, so you’re getting a lot of dough, but that’s kind of needed so your dog stays together (with all the sauce and toppings). The type of bread is different too, almost tastes like Hawaiian bread.
They have their own private parking lot, but it’s rather small. We ended up parking nearby on the street.
The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the price. Each dog/​sausage is around $ 6 – 8. When you add in a side, a drink, and tax, it’s around $ 15/​person! That’s a lot for a hot dog. I do appreciate that they use free range eggs though. (=

Hot dogs and sausages have certainly evolved from the simple bun with ketchup of our youth. Nowadays, these frankfurters and sausages are nothing short of craft artistry with unique proteins used, toppings, and even a variety of breads/​buns. Dog Haus hit the artist hot dog scene in Pasadena a few years back and hasn’t slowed down with franchised establishments in a few states and locations set to open in Los Angeles in pretty much every neighborhood. Dog Haus in Burbank is a franchised location (not one of the company-​owned locations in Pasadena); so it could be hit or miss. How did it go?
Sadly, not as well as expected per my amazing experience in Pasadena or based on the plethora of high reviews. This Dog Haus is relatively-​recently opened in the old Taco Bell building across from WB Studios. The architecture is a bit off-​putting if you live in the area merely because it is still the Taco Bell building but painted black. That TB was super gross and dirty so I couldn’t get that image out of my head. Parking is a pain as it is a bit tough to turn into the tiny one way in –and –out lot. Save the hassle and find a street spot.
Once inside, Dog Haus attempted to make the spot airy and hip with wooden tables, exposed industrial details, and smooth, concrete floors while music such as Metallica pierces your ear drums. Regardless of this effort, it is small and the line to order begins immediately by the door so it is congested, to say the least.
For those unfamiliar, Dog Haus offers signature-​crafted unique beef skinless dogs, gourmet sausages, hamburgers, and a build-​your-​own option which allows you to pick a protein, toppings, cheeses, sauces, etc. There are also kids’ options, milkshakes/​floats, and sides such as their famous tater tots. The great thing I learned at the counter was that anything can be made with a veggie dog (yay!) which wasn’t stipulated on the menu. I wanted to build my own but I was overwhelmed and there was a long line so I went with a Sooo Cali dog (argula, spicy basil aioli, crispy onions, tomato — veggie version– $ 5.99) to-​go while my boyfriend ordered The Cowboy (smoked bacon, white American cheese, crispy onions, and BBQ sauce — $ 5.99 upgraded to a combo with fries and a drink for $ 2.99).
So how did our choices fare? I was comparing my experience to Pasadena so I was VERY let down when the food arrived. Both of our dogs looked sloppy and simply heaped with crispy toppings. The ratio of onions to any other topping was insane! Can I get a dog with my onions, please?! Not to mention, I asked for mine to go and they had no clam shell, foil, or ANYTHING to cover my dog! They wanted me to just carry it out exposed in a bag! What the!!! Even after we asked for ANYTHING to cover it with; the employee was dumbfounded and said there was nothing. SUPER ODD that they are not prepared for take out/​take home orders.
Aside from the messy presentation, the flavors of The Cowboy was pretty good and the King’s Hawaiian rolls were toasted perfectly. My veggie dog didn’t hold out for the next day (all the toppings were nasty and had to be discarded) but the actual veggie dog was tasty and didn’t taste too soy-​ish. The fries were horrible though. Not warm enough and tasted completely stale. We debated sending them back but my boyfriend was starving.
Service was okay. The male order-​taker was friendly and knowledgeable so he was great but the girl delivering our food who didn’t know about take out was «out of it».
Overall, I was let down based on previous experiences at other locations and my boyfriend’s first Dog Haus experience was not a good one. The eatery is tiny, the food was not fresh and terribly presented, and the service was meh. Perhaps it was a bad night as there are great reviews, food photos, and I know from personal experience how wonderful it was in the past; or perhaps it is because I went to the first-​opened Pasadena location but whatever it is: it wasn’t up to par at all. I would consider coming back or instead waiting for the two locations opening also in the neighborhood (Studio City and North Hollywood) but for now; it was less than expected. Not horrible but not what is expected from the supposed top dog in the business.

So this was yummy!
This was my first time trying the Dog Haus so I didn’t get crazy adventurous. I hate wasting food and some of the combinations sound like I might not actually enjoy them.
I ordered the chili dog with Fritos on top (don’t know the name). You can imagine how it tasted because it’s pretty basic. I love chili cheese dogs though so I was excited that they were throwing Fritos in with it. What a perfect addition!
The dog was really yummy. It was firm and tasted more like a sausage than a hot dog. It had more flavor, spice and texture than a regular hot dog. The chili was good too. Bad chili really ruins a chili dog.
I would definitely get this again.
My husband had a sausage with coleslaw, peanut sauce and peanuts on top. He didn’t like it. He thought the slaw was too sweet and didn’t like the peanut sauce. I can’t imagine this tasting good on a sausage anyway so I can’t really judge the restaurant. Apparently other people like it. He ordered it so he thought he’d like it. I would have never ordered it because I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t like it. It looked like decent slaw though.
I’ll try another type of hot dog next time or perhaps a burger. Anything on a Hawaiian roll rocks my world anyway.

L’un des meilleur hot dog que j’ai mangé!! Le cowboy, WOW! Nous avons aussi pris des frites mais en voyant les Tater Tots, nous avons regretté notre choix!
Les pains sont excellents! A essayer!
