Dog Haus

A few weeks ago we got the chance to check out Dog Haus, a California-based gourmet hot dog shop now in Richardson! We were really excited about this place because it’s Texas’ first location and frankly (get it?), there aren’t enough restaurants in the Dallas-Fort Worth area dedicated solely to quality hot dogs.

Dog Haus Biergarten has recently gained national attention for their premier, all-beef hot dogs and sausages, along with their humanely-raised Black Angus burgers, sans antibiotics or hormones - which they heavily take pride in. Each dog, sausage and burger is stuffed inside multiple King’s Hawaiian rolls, grilled to perfection – which gives them all the perfect amount of fluffy bun to meat ratio.

While visiting their sole Texas location, we got the amazing (and overwhelming) opportunity to try nearly every one-of-kind item on their menu; so, we’re here to give you the rundown of our favorites.

Our Favorite Dog: The Cowboy

Not to toot our own horn here, but we love a good Texas-style dog – can you blame us?

This guy is not only covered in barbeque AND cheddar cheese sauce, it’s also sprinkled with crispy onions and wrapped…in…bacon. We highly recommend this option if you don’t want to venture too far from a traditional dog but still want to try something tasty and different.

Our Favorite Sausage: Reservoir Hog

If you’re headed to Dog Haus to try something more diverse – remember just two words: Reservoir Hog.

This one takes a major Polish approach with its kielbasa and “haus-made” slaw and chili, topped with the perfect drizzle of mustard. Along with the slight sweetness of the Hawaiian roll, you get tons of different flavors with every bite.

If you’re ready to switch up your typical dog options, we highly suggest going for this bad boy.

Our Favorite Burger: The Hangover

We know Dog Haus is known for their premium hot dogs and sausages, but don’t sleep on their burgers.

Any burger with a gooey fried egg on it is a favorite in our books, and this one also happens to be slathered with chili, American cheese and smoked bacon.

It’s just the right amount of every ingredient and regardless of the mess – you won’t regret it. (Which may be the only thing you won’t regret after a night of drinking)

So if you had one too many this weekend – don’t wake up with a Pedialyte, get yourself a Hangover burger at the Haus!

Our Favorite Side: The Love Boat Tots

We would marry these tots.

Truthfully, there are very few words to describe the happiness we got from these little fried potato nuggets.

Tots are pretty damn good on their own, but smother them with house-made chili and slaw and you will neglect any type of diet you think you’re on.

Consistency can either make or break a food item and Dog Haus really got it right here. The crunchiness of the slaw along with the meaty chili on these tots makes for a perfect side option!

When it comes to food, we truly appreciate diversity. And Dog Haus definitely has a dog for everyone. Whether you’re in the mood for a light, California-style weenie with avocado or a uniquely-made spicy jalapeño-cheddar wurst specifically for Dallas – they’ve got you covered. (They also have vegetarian options available!)

Dog Haus, we LOVE your wieners! Dallas friends, we promise y’all will too! Go grab one, or three, any day of the week from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. at their adorable Richardson location – you’ll have the wurst time.
