Overall we really liked this place and that it's locally owned, which is fantastic. I know where it's located so not super surprising but my only knock was it being on the pricer side for what you get. Not a lot of space inside (basically standing only) and with it being very cold outside, it was also cold inside too so we opted to just eat our food in the car with heat on lol. Service was pleasant and quick but food did take a minute with what seemed to not be too many orders ahead or people waiting...But we weren't in a rush so no biggie. The hot dogs were tasty and seemed to be good quality too. Just a tad on the small side for $10 dogs in my opinion. Had they have been 1/4 lb dogs like a Costco dog, that'd be well worth it and I'd have zero complaints. Chili was also very tasty (no beans as it should be) and a fine amount of cheese. Fries were crispy and seasoned nice as well. Just a big smaller order than I'd expect for $7 but again, it's kinda what you'll expect in a heavy touristy area. Everything came out very hot and fresh which I appreciate as well. We'd definitely stop by again next time around Denali! read more

Came back this year to AK and decided to visit Denali. I was hungry and stopped here and it sure hit the spot. The burgers taste great and the service was just a good as when I was here 3 years ago. The restaurant still has the country ambience and quaint. Stop by and meet the owners as they are very friendly and welcoming. read more

Denali Doghouse - Exterior of building - Burgers Near Me - Denali National Park, Alaska

Not fine dining but a fine place to dine. Don't let the rough exterior dissuade you from checking out some fine hotdogs, chicken tenders and hamburgers. The menu consists of hot dogs served a number of ways (including a great corn dog), chicken tenders and several variations on the hamburger. An order of tots or fries will get you enough to feed two. The chili, sans beans, was very good (although the cup could have been filled a little more for $6). The chicken tenders were good. My dining partner enjoyed the Doghouse burger ($15). The fries and tots were very good. The ordering process was quick and easy. Finding a seat is a bit harder. There isn't much seating inside; however, they did offer several outside tables. If you want a solid lunch, check out the doghouse. read more

Summary: The food is great but the price is so high which is typical in Alaska. Very cramped seating. Wish they had reindeer hotdogs. Service: Friendly cashier, average wait time for food Food: The blend of bison, meat, and pig for the hot dogs gives a nice hot dog better than anything stateside. It was disappointing they did not have any reindeer hot dogs for this season Ambiance: Small cramped high top seats on the side of the restaurant. A few small tables for outside seating Tips (what I wish I knew before): A good fast food choice when you arrive to your lodge that is fast. read more

Stopped here after a long hike in the alley. I had the Cell dog which is essentially a chilly dog. It was delicious. With a side of fries it made for a very decent meal. They charged a few dollars for a bottle of water didn't have water to serve And they also charged me a dollar for ranch but overall a very good experience. read more

This place is small but does have about 15 bar stools on the inside and about 5 tables outside on their porch. There were 6 of us so we sat outside and battles the mosquitoes and spiders. However, the food was served quickly and was all hot and the order was complete at the same time. No small feat given that we had 3 hot dogs, 3 burgers and an order of chicken tenders. However the food was mediocre at best. Burgers were overcooked and under seasoned. Hot dogs were lackluster. The best part in my opinion was the fires. Hot and crispy. Pretty inexpensive choice for such a tourist destination. Good choice for someone not too picky or maybe a family with lots of kids. read more

The food was average. You order your food right inside and then wait for it in the back. There was not many places to sit. Two bars with stools and 4 tables outside that has a great view. The staff was nice. This is a locally owned restaurant. read more

Dogs were good, servers were rude, snippy when asked about an order for 2 dogs that took 15 minutes to make. Another server upset because stools were move to accommodate a group of 6. Guess she wanted us to split up. Not good business model. read more

Happy to report they opened ahead of schedule. We needed a quick bite after the natural history bus tour, but didn't want to spoil our dinner. We shared a classic cheeseburger and coke which totally hit the spot. Veggies were fresh and the gal at the front counter was friendly. I'm totally up for a revisit to try their hotdog read more

Fun little place to grab lunch. The dawgs are definitely a notch above what you get most places. The dogs are made out of reindeer meat. The buns are hoagie style. One will do it unless you are starving. Recommend the house made chips. We were greeted by a friendly face as soon as we walked in. Might be a little wait on busy tour day. For my southern friends you can get brewed sweet tea. Cool little sitting area with bar seating and some outdoor seating. read more

Cute little place. The food was good and the staff was friendly. Portions were decent.

The hot dogs were a bit overpriced but food options in Denali National Park is a bit limited. This place is convenient if you want something fast. Personally, I think their reindeer hotdog was a bit too gamy to me. The toppings help mask the taste a bit but overall I'm not a huge fan. read more

43 dollars for a hotdog, burger, fries and coleslaw? I think not! And they were small portions - a takeaway carton of fries that would be medium from McDonalds. Nothing special, the food was ok, but definitely not worth this cost. And we aren't tourists from the lower 48, we're used to high restaurant prices here. But to be charged high restaurant prices, for what amounts to a small fast food order, is an outrage, and I do not recommend this place at all. I'd have gone to The Bake, but they're closed for the season, which we were told was due to the roof falling in. Shame as I really love The Bake. I came here cos I'd driven from Anchorage, and was starved. I wish I'd gone to Subway read more

This place was absolutely delicious. My wife and I stopped here quickly before we got back on the road and we were both blown away by how good the food was. If you're visiting Denali this place is a must. read more

I'm really glad I decided to eat here while staying in Denali. There was information on a poster explaining the food which made it easy to tell what was gluten free. They don't have gluten free buns but they do have lettuce wraps -- even for the hot dogs (if that's your thing). The cashier was friendly and assured me that I'd have the utensils to eat my hot dog without the bun. I also got the gluten free chili. Both the hot dog and chili were really good. When I ordered a hot dog with fried onions, one of the cooks in the back immediately pointed out the onions contained gluten so I was able to change my order. My food arrived quickly at a window on the other side of the kitchen. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Most of the indoor seating was stools and the one I sat on was a little wobbly. I wish they had more indoor tables since the outdoor tables were taken. The walls were decorated with vintage posters. Really glad I stopped here during my Alaska trip. read more

Just off the Parks Hwy in Denali's glitter gulch is this energetic little hot dog and burger shop. The staff was friendly and welcoming with wonderful positive vibes singing to the happy music in the kitchen. Celebrity photos with their dogs plaster the walls. The variety of toppings for both dogs and burgers was extensive with the consciousness of people's allergies. This is a must visit for a quick bite. read more

I had a Chili dog and fries for lunch. The chili on the reindeer dog was mediocre. The dog was fine otherwise. The fries were undercooked. read more

It's quick, short menu and the line moves fast. Great if you are in need of a fast sandwich or fries but they come with a price. $46.00 for (2) burgers and (2) fries with (2) bottled waters. Gourmet farm to restaurant beef but seriously the portions don't fit the price. Weigh in the other options in the area, how long you don't have to wait for your (basic) take out food, (There are 3 tables on the front porch) and I can somewhat justify the price. Overall the burger has a good flavor buns are large so protein to carb (bun) ratio is way off. Fries are good, not sure if they are home made if I were to bet they are frozen bag fries BUT that doesn't mean they are not good. Probably the best value, hot, cooked consistent, crispy exterior, moist interior and lightly seasoned. read more

We thought this place was closed when we walked from McKinley Chalet. They were closed when we came here in 2019. This is a surprise find! I had the best corn dog I have ever had here. The dogs are a large reindeer hot dog. They have a really fun staff too. They had southern sweet tea and I'm sure it was the best in Alaska. The place is small with a fun atmosphere. You cannot help but make some friends. We recommended this place to several couples here in the lodge. Great hamburgers and hot dogs. They are open and today is May 27, 2022. Go have a uniquely Alaskan hot dog. read more

The kraut dog was amazing! The Fries were hot and crispy! The staff is even better! Love how they all try to guess the song on the radio. The price for a meal ( meal deal) is right on target for AK. Will definitely tell all of my friends to go there when they visit read more

Coming back from an ATV tour in Denali we had to decide quickly on dinner as choices are slim and we had no real option at the village we were staying at. I saw that this place offered online ordering so I talked out shuttle driver into a quick stop on the way back and allow me to run in and grab my order. Unfortunately their online system was working that well as they found my order but hadn't started it yet. Luckily they got it together fast. Sorry we didn't order any hot dogs but did get a nice burger and chicken tenders! read more

$12 - $15 for a mediocre hotdog plus fries?! What is this madness??? This was the cheapest food option outside of Denali. Although the fries were good, everything else was just alright. First of all, they over-mustard all the hot dogs/corn dogs. I know it makes it look prettier, but it doesn't make it taste better. Recommendation: get something without mustard. You'll thank me later read more

Fresh tasting and filling comfort food! So many great options...I opted for the chili cheese dog. Friendly staff and fast service!

Great service and so friendly- casual and delicious- for dog is hand battered w home made batter!

I'm being nice with my stars because in any other town, I'd give 1-2 stars at most. The options in Denali are slim and none are delicious that we tried. My husband and I got a Doghouse burger. The bbq sauce was so minimal that it was difficult to taste. We asked for extra and they were kind enough to oblige. The onion strings were also few and tasteless. I couldn't tell you that the meat was beef- it may have been but it didn't taste like beef that I'm used to eating. You can sit and eat quickly at a little bar area but unless the customer was kind enough to clean up after themselves, it doesn't look like it is cleaned more than once a day. There were no fries included with the burger-- that must have been changed in recent menu changes so watch for that when you order. The meal was overpriced for the quality but that is how the entire town is, so it was not our least favorite meal while we were there. . read more

Hot dogs, hamburgers, and everything else ... That's the menu at Denali Doghouse in the small "town" just outside Denali National Park. You're on vacation in the 49th state and few things unite us in the United States anymore except that Hot Dogs and Hamburgers are about as American food as you can get. Well, hot dog ... A Doghouse Dog ($11) with Bacon, BBQ Sauce, Onion Strings, and Cheddar Cheese plus an order of Fries was All-American. A very American twist on a classic was a Buffalo Bratwurst ($10) with Sauerkraut, Diced Onions, and sharp German-style Mustard on a real buffalo meat brat. Denali Doghouse isn't the cheapest hot dog or hamburger you'll have, but they are totally a-ok classic hot dogs & hamburgers. The tourist prices make sense in this classic beautiful American tourist setting. read more

The service is fast. There are many type of Hotdogs. We had Denali Dog and asked dog, both taste good, too good to take pictures.

Don't waste your money. Food was over priced, no taste and mediocre at best. Service was poor as well. You are better off going to one of the restaurants in the hotels. The food is much better and not that much more expensive, and views and atmosphere. read more

I thought it was okay. I went here to wallow in self pity after paying for gas at the Park Mart at $4.60/galLon where I had just paid $3.82/gallon in Anchorage that morning. My dog was the kraut with stone ground mustard at $5.49, which I thought was reasonable for getting food in Denali. My friend got the cheeseburger and it came with the basics and served its purpose. I may stop again if I'm going through the area. Something to think about. I drove through Healy, 10 miles north, and saw gas there for $4.10/gallon. If you're just going to Denali it might benefit you to drive the 10 extra miles if you need to fill up. read more

Ahhhh.... after a great outing inside the park, we needed a little "picker-up" before hitting the Parks back to Fairbanks. Not wanting any commercial stuff, we found The Doghouse just North of the Park entrance. I ordered the Reindeer Sausgage. Prepared split and grilled, it was very, very flavorful. There is a condiment bar with relish, onions, mustard and ketchup to create your distinct flavor. They offer other "dog" styles and have burgers on the menu as well. The indoor seating was all small and all bar seat type, while the outside had a table facinig West towards your typical awesome Alaska scenery. The employees there were super friendly making the stop even better. This was worth the stop! read more
