$34 and $6 tip for 3 dogs List of things the young girl today could have done, but didn't: Smile Say Hi Acknowledge that we walked in Say "I'll be right with you" Say thank you when i paid and tipped Say anything when our order was ready and sitting on counter top Pointed to where the drinks were She was equally as rude and stale to the next couple that came in. The Lake Washington hot dog hit the spot. but with service this terrible, i'd never return. There's so many other places I can go to have a decent bite and get treated poorly. read more

Great outside seating. Not your gourmet hot dog place (yes, those are real). Little pricey on the empanadas so I won't be doing that again but if you like hot dogs and beer on a nice deck, this is your spot! read more

This place was so cute! It's a quaint building with a menu of hot dogs, sausages & corn dogs made different ways. There is seating both inside & outside. My friend & I recently dined here outside on the patio. We both ordered Seattle Dogs, Onion Rings & Crinkle Cut Fries. We also got canned drinks that we grabbed from a cooler. We enjoyed the meal & our outdoor dining experience. You can see brief glimpses of the water from the patio & we dined just before sunset so it was beautiful. We started out as the only customers there & the patio was full by the time we left. There was only one staff member working but she took care of us well & she made our to-go order when we were ready to leave so it would be fresh. Our experience was pleasant & I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Best hot dogs anywhere! Locally owned, quick service and outdoor eating rain or shine.

Quaint, intimate, small, personable where you feel you're sharing an experience of visiting the owners kitchen, sitting at their kitchen table shared with all the folks in Des Moines that love hot dogs. I came and she was making an order for some ground workers at Alaska Airlines that filled a huge box. I think it was almost full as she apologized there will be a delay. This is what a owner owned, one person operation is like and you have to understand her situation. Come here for a hot dog with whatever fixings you can imagine where many you add from a buffet of toppings. This is mostly a to-go place, but they have places both inside and outside to sit and enjoy your hot dog. I love small shops that specialize that are labors of love from the owners. I support these places and you should too, especially if you're a hot dog lover. read more

The Lake Washington dog is dynamite. Who'd'a think smoked salmon cream cheese on a hot dog would work? It does! Nice joint; small but comfy, with quick, friendly service. read more

I live close to here, like a 3 minute walk away. Finally decided to try it out. A bit on the pricey side for a dog, but it's worth it. If you're in the neighborhood, try it out read more

What Fun! This cute little old eatery has epic hot-dogs and sausages... and they carry 'Nathan's' dogs, which I believe are the brand used on Coney Island, NY. I had a Chicago, hubby a Seattle.... Both cooked to order, and served in an epic dog roll. Fries were hot and crispy, dogs were a bit greasy, but coming from the dog house.... That's what one might expect. This place had all the trimmings.... Sweet pickle relish (yum) onions, even ketchup and mustard & Mayo. Five stars from us.... We're just dying to go back and try all the different kinds. read more

Best dog ever. Get the Waterland dog with the salmon cream cheese! Empanadas are great too l. An excellent choice if you're in Des Moines.

$11 for a " Chicago dog" that you have to make yourself?!??! Not have any of the correct ingredients...please just take it off your menu, it's a disaster. I had the employee take it off my bill. I'm just saying when you're this far from home and you're craving a Chicago dog., and they give you a hotdog on the wrong bun for starters, they don't have sport peppers or tomatoes or the right pickle/ relish, and they wanted me to make it ..WTF . Please, for your own safety, before a white Sox's fan comes in and orders one and lets you know in the most southside way it's NOT a Chicago DOG!! read more

I went on a beautiful day and sat out on their porch decorated with lots of flowers. The ambiance is fun, service friendly, and food delicious. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Perfect experience, me and my girlfriend go here every time and get a Seattle dog. Comfy seating, compared to something like Matt's (which has garbage prices for the disgusting portion and food you get), this places food is spectacular, as much condiments as you'd like and amazing sizes. The service was amazing as well, they take care of us well every time. Please, I'm begging never go to Matt's, only go to here. read more

I have lived here and driven past this place for 10 years and this is the first time I tried it. My wife got the Chicago dog which is a long Nathan's dog with everything you can think of on it. I got the chorizo dog which was served naked. Inside there is a huge fixings bar with relish, sauerkraut, cheese, multiple kinds of mustard, BBQ sauce, etc. so my dog looked like her's after I tarted it up. Almost all the dogs are $11. The menus you find on line are old and out of date and the website that yelp takes you to has nothing to do with this place. The onion rings are big, greasy and delicious and enough for 3 people. Beautiful sunny day to eat outside but we could have done without the loud Bob Dylan music playing on a loudspeaker and I am a Dylan fan. Two dogs, 2 bottles of Modello, 1 onion ring order, tax and tip $46. Bigger dog at a certain big box store but minus the wonderful fixings. read more

I would give them at least a 4 star review. However, I just tried to eat there, at 6:30PM April 14 2024, and was turned away. There were about 5 men in their 50's / 60's, blaring music and I walked up and almost entered the building. One of them shouted above the music 'hey we are closed' before I could cross the door. I hate to say it because I to like the place, but I'm never going back. read more

One of my Fav. places when I'm in the mood for a Hot dog with a very good menu! I like to get it to go & find a place to sit by the Des Moines Pier or up on the hill overlooking the water. Limited seating with a few tables outside. Enjoy!!! read more

I have only been there once , my first time recently, my husband and I split the bacon wrapped dog and a chili dog. Dogs are so good and big, well worth 11.00 each! I was not in love with the chili on the dog but it was ok. Friendly service and a super cute place. read more

Hubby and I stopped by the dog house today for lunch. This was his first time here and it's been a long while since my last visit here! Hi y ordered a chili dog with tater tots and I ordered the waterland dog with onion rings. Our food came out fairly quick and everything was cooked to perfection. Mine was covered in onions and they were still a little firm but a real good addition with the cream cheese, bacon and hot dog! Hubby went in and out chili and cheese on his hotdog. The onion rings were on point! Light crust around the rings and they were cooked perfectly! Hubby's tots were crispy on the outside just as they should be! Hubby and I sat outside at one of 3 tables. There was only 1 other lady sitting at another table while we were there so perfect social distancing for COVID19. The best part in my opinion is the loyalty card program they have. You buy 10 hotdogs and you get one free! That makes me want to go there more as they appreciate your business for being a repeat customer. read more

This is a fun place to stop for a great hot dog! Lots of variety on the menu, for kids AND adults! Playful atmosphere. Friendly, long time owner. Just wish they had a gluten-free bun option! There is also a cool gaming arcade right next door! read more

So you like Hotdogs, saw this on Yelp and wondered if you should even drop in huh? Well let me tell you the simple answer you expect to read/hear! Yes! Come by, today there were two employees, who were very kind and friendly. It made me laugh when I asked them for a recommendation as this is my first visit. The gentleman said the water land and I am glad I went with his recommendation. "It smacks!" Best said by the employee haha. I also got a Chili dog and a Chicago dog as well. To my surprise it was self serve toppings for those. Regardless I got them to go and easily found my way around with the help of the lady employees guidance. Thank you both. I will be back! read more

If not the some of the better hot dogs in the greater Seattle, certainly the best variety of choices: Beef, chicken or turkey dogs. Brats, Italian and Andouille sausage. Herb infused dogs of differing meats some with habanero for a ,little kick, other with provalone cheese for a little creaminess. This hole-in-the-wall stand-alone hot dog shack isn't chic but offers delicious choices with condiment bar that assures you can truly have your dog your way. There are two kinds of chopped pickles, peppercinis, jalapenos, kraut, chopped tomatoes, onions, cheese and many more. They usually have unique daily specials as well. We tried the Cajun dog smothered in Jambalaya one day and it was terrific and as messy as you can imagine. They also have nearly ten mustards from sweet to sour to hot as hell. Oh and beer on tap is $3! Parking is tight (choose street if you can find it), and on a warm day, the 4 patio tables offer peek-a-boo looks of the Sound just a few blocks away. read more

This place is terrible. I ordered an $11.00 Chicago dog and was handed a plain Costco dog and bun and then told to add all my own condiments from the condiment bar? I can get a KILLER real deal Chicago dog a Matt's for like $6.00 AND get great service. No where to park either. Totally disappointing. stay away. read more

It did not disappoint! Friendly service, great food and unique look. I felt like it would fit perfectly in a 90's romantic comedy, it was that cute. The Seattle Dog was so flavorful and filling. Definitely a place to make cherished memories! Thanks a great time! read more

They used the microwave to prepare the hot dog. If you like microwave food, this is your go to place.

Great spot with great food and a super-charming vibe, plus beer and an arcade next door! I loaded up my dogs at the full and generous condiment bar and sat at the window to eat; had to get some Colombian to go cause it looked so good and it didn't disappoint. Not open late but then neither am I. Will definitely be back to run through the menu. read more

Looking for something quintessential Seattle and heard about the Seattle Dog that is topped with cream cheese and onions. So excited to find a hot dog place close to our hotel. We opted for grilled sausages. The sausage and onions were grilled to order and grilled to perfection. We also ordered a regular sausage and took advantage of the toppings bar. Service was wonderful and the food was equally good. read more

Swing by here on a random. Heard about the Colombian dog they have and decided to try it. Overall, it's underwhelming, there's not really a whole lot of taste in it and it's pretty small for almost $9. Its about a... quarter shorter than the bun it came with. Not worth it but I am glad to have tried it thus satisfying my curiosity! Perhaps the other dogs would be better than this one? I liked that they have a hotdog bar where you can put endless toppings on your dogs! read more

I've been to better local hotdog stands in Seattle or North Bend, but it's still delicious! It is a small building with a nice front patio with outdoor seating. There is limited parking behind the building but you can easily park on the side streets and walk. There were two people working in there, and they were very welcoming and down to earth. This place is very casual so come as you are. I really enjoyed the empanadas. I ordered beef and chicken. I usually go for beef for anything but the chicken tastes better than the beef. This is a perfect summer joint to eat and hangout. read more

I stopped by this spot because I saw they had a Colombian flag. They have a small menu of Colombian foods with very tasty arrepas. I was so excited to find some Colombian food that I did not bother trying the hot dogs--- the owner was VERY nice and kept the store open when it was past their closing time. She did a great job, and the place was relaxed and clean. I also got their empandas which did the trick for my kiddo, but I will be back for those tasty arrepas! read more

We finally arrived in SeaTac on the last leg of this vacation. Our hotel is here and we fly out super early to return to Michigan. I was on Yelp looking for someplace to eat and found a popular Fish and Chips place here in Des Moines with great reviews. The place was packed with an hour wait and no parking in sight. I grabbed my phone and summoned my Yelp app again, looking for another option. I find this Des Moines Doghouse a block away. This is when it dawns on me. I haven't had a SEATTLE DOG yet!! This place is close, has great reviews, significantly cheaper, parking close by, and gives me a chance to try the local cuisine!! OMG it's perfect!! What an awesome little place. This lady inside is running it alone. Does everything. Takes orders, cooks, runs the register, brings out the food, buses the tables. This made the wait a little longer, but holy hotdogs it was worth it! I ordered 2 Seattle dogs, fries, and a pop. It was certainly more food than I expected. Everything was cooked perfectly. I'm glad I chose this place to experience my first Seattle dog. I can't imagine it being better anywhere else. 1/4 pound specialty dogs run around $6-$8 and there's plenty of other dog options. It's a Doghouse though so don't come here looking for burgers. I took lots of pictures and will post them all. I wish I could say I'll be back tomorrow. I certainly would if I could. Love you later, Seattle. read more

Hours posted online say it's open until 7. Traveled an hour here for my son's birthday and they aren't open (it's currently 5pm). Arrived really excited and leaving extremely disappointed. I'd suggest if they aren't going to be open they aren't going to be open, updating their hours read more

Great quality food with reasonable prices. Outside deck is good option for seating. Great options on the menu!

I cannot get enough of this place. It feels like you're eating high ends dogs and sausages AND there's beer. Service is great because everything is hot and fresh. Cooked right on the spot. It's clean, gloves and masks are used, and there's outdoor seating. Try this place on a sunny day with a side of beer please!! read more

My wife and I drove by on the way to the state park when we noticed this place. We were hungry on our way back and decided to stop by. When we got there we noticed the staff and people waiting for their food weren't wearing masks. There were no signs regarding social distancing and no markings on the floor to suggest spacing. We also noticed that all of the toppings for your hotdogs were out in the open for anyone to access. The tongs to use we're shared and would be used over and over again. When we got our dogs we needed to top them ourselves but seeing the state of the toppings we opted to pass. We started leaving and the employee (I think the owner) called out that we had forgotten another part of our meal. My wife went back in to grab the food and she heard the employee say under his breath that he didn't understand why people were so scared. At this point, I will never eat at this place again. It's none of his business why people are scared. He's not adhering to social distancing or increased cleanliness during a MASSIVE pandemic that has killed thousands upon thousands of people. That's why people are scared. If you run a restaurant in anyway, you're in the hospitality business, be hospitable. read more

They are on listed DoorDash but when I made my order the driver showed up to pick up the food and instead he got screamed at by the owner. When I called to find out what I needed to do to fix the problem, I got screamed at by the owner and was told "you have to go through some other platform if you want to do business with us!" and then he hung up. Hopefully we get our money back...? Definitely wouldn't recommend this place for families, or anyone wanting friendly service. read more
