We ordered online and picked up our order tonight instead of eating in. Dog Haus simply always makes good food. Crunchy tots, awesome burgers on Kings Hawaiian Roll buns, sausages, whatever. Love this place. read more

I was staying on the coast and drove 25 minutes inland for dinner here simply because they participate in a dining rewards program that allows me to get extra miles. I was not particularly craving a burger or a hotdog, but I assumed this place was in a mid-point price range. This spot is located in the charming town of Vista, small and walkable. There's an outdoor dining area that's very nice when the weather is nice. I'm only giving this place three stars however, because I think aside from the nice dining area, it's pretty average. There seemed to be only one person working the front area when I arrived. We had to order off a kiosk. Two burgers and an order of tater tots came to about $40. That seems a tad high to me. The order came out wrong -- we ordered avocado on one burger but it was added to the wrong one. The food was decent if a bit salty. We had to wait like 20 minutes for our food, which seem weird for fast casual. The burgers -- at least the one I had -- was tasty. The Hawaiian bun made the burger particularly nice. But it wasn't anything to rave about or to crave later on. Bottom line, I think service here is a bit slow, the prices are a bit high, but the food is decent and overall your experience will be completely average. Solid three stars. read more

There are only a couple of patrons dining when we stopped in for a late lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. We ordered the Downtown Haus Dog, the Das Brat Haus Sausage, and a mini Corn Dog. My husband had the Das Brat and said "it was a little too sweet for what it was" due to the caramelized onions but still enjoyed it. My Downtown dog was tasty. I enjoyed everything about it. I'm usually a mustard and relish gal so I wasn't sure how I would like all the toppings. However, it has me looking forward to trying the other variations. Corn dog is as good as you'd imagine it would be. Nice bite from the batter. Perfect with mustard. We brought our pup and ordered a burger patty for him. It's great that the Dog Haus has a large outdoor dining area. Many of the other downtown Vista restaurants have smaller outdoor areas. The cashier/bartender/server was very nice, social. There was an error with our order where it took longer than expected so she comped us an order of tater tots. Bonus! read more

I came here long ago but I will be back soon! The bratwurst was excellent. I enjoyed a couple of beers which were good. But the best part was the staff. I asked several questions of a new person and we had a pleasant interaction. When I was ready to leave, I asked the manager if I could take a coaster with a logo for a beer that my son likes. He said he could do better than that and gave me a logo glass. WAY above my request. I went during happy hour (bratwurst was not included) and the price was reasonable. They have a large selection of beer. I can't wait to return even though I live 15 miles away. read more

My husband and I love this place! I always get the t-mex and my husband gets the cowboy. This time we got the cheesy tots and they did not disappoint. Staff of always super friendly and quick but efficient. Place is always clean and I love that it's dog friendly as well read more

Updated: Had Dog Haus a few times since my last review and needed to update my rating as it has slipped some . Today I tried the Nashville tender sandwich, ringer burger, cheese tots and a slider. Food did come out hot but was just lacking something. Flavor/Spice is what I'm thinking. The chicken sandwich tenders were decent but the size of them were small. It needed to be sauced up more with some sides of their special sauce and ranch. Pricey for what it is. The tots were fluffy but bland and cheese is just regular nacho. I they can do something with these like season them and use something ilike a white cheese with hatch chilies in it topped with some green onion. The burger was something like a western burger from Carl's Jr. With smash burgers on nearly corner it seems now I'd skip the burgers especially the sliders. Dog Haus slipped to 3 stars now for me read more

Veggie dog is back I revoke my past statements dog haus is the best!!! Love the soooo Cali and tots...

Utilized their $3 national burrito day deal. The Haus breakfast burrito was 5 stars worthy imo. Super big, not sure what people are commenting on "small" burritos is all about. This thing was massive, packed with flavor. Young gal taking orders was incredibly kind and helpful. Definitely returning. Get their app for rewards and deals too read more

Dog Haus has declined recently. It used to be one of the best draws to downtown vista with unique offerings and a great outdoor space. The food has declined as well as the space. I will still go when I need a unique food offering but hoping it's just a slump. Service is always good though. read more

I used to come here all of the time before they changed owners and loved the food. Now, not so much. The hot dog wasn't that good. They didn't give much chili for the tots or on the chili dog. We even had to ask if it was a chili dog as there was so little on it. The staff were nice. They have limited indoor seating and it's still be an open area so there's no way to truly keep warm. I used to love the Pineapple Express dog, which they no longer offer. read more

Ordered a Pastrami Breakfast burrito and I was worried! Idk why but I was afraid they wouldn't take my dairy allergy instructions or it would be lackluster since they focus on hot dogs. My worries we're put to rest. They did a great job and the pastrami was well cooked. Added some avocado which was a nice touch. It isn't the best breakfast burrito you will ever have, but if you are hungover or having a beer; this burrito pairs nicely while not disappointing. I'll be ordering from here again. read more

We were excited that Dog Haus has re-opened. I have mixed feelings about our experience this past week so I went on the high side of scoring. The Great - My brat and my husband's sausage were good! The Good - The bread is really good and soft. The Bad - The beer selection is limited (IMO) and the fries were so-so The Ugly - NA We used to love going to the Dog Haus on a hot summer day, grabbing a huge stein and some good grub. The huge steins are gone and the beer selection seems to have shrunk. The food is still pretty good, but I don't think the Dog Haus is much of a destination for us any more. read more

Such a fun place to go with friends or for a casual bite alone. Great sausage sandwiches specifically The Fonz. So good!! Good beer selection and good vibes. Service was also on it. read more

They have great food and the people who work here are always friendly. Huge selection of beers too and on Sundays they have $5 pints all day! read more

I've mostly done takeout at this restaurant, but I like sitting out on the patio with a beer when I have time. It's especially pretty at night when the string lights are plugged in. They have a pretty good beer selection and all of the food is delicious. The breakfast burritos are also pretty good. Service has been pretty quick on my takeout orders and they are very friendly. read more

My coworker has spoken great words about this place and I finally tried it! It's freakin delicious, you can chose from Hawaiian sweet rolls, and other options for sandwiches, you can even make a sandwich into a bowl. We had the holy aioli which my man loved but I didn't love it but omgahhhh the cheeseburger was so good! I really like their burgers because they're thinner, if you're looking for a thicker patty, this ain't ya spot. The chili cheese fries amazing too and we did Doordash. This would be even better fresh! Omgahhhh read more

I enjoyed my hot dog, but I would have loved to have more chili on my hot dog. For the price we paid for these dogs, the Chili should have been overflowing. I was a bit disappointed there. I also had to add salt and pepper to the slaw as it had no seasoning. Parking was only street parking. They had a nice big outdoor area, which would be great for a work party or event. read more

Cool Spot - AC sometimes. Dog friendly inside and out, all concrete floors but thats good and bad all together. Aggressive dogs lay quiet under tables ready to stink and new pup owners take advantage of the pee and poop anywhere policy. Only qualm, everything and I mean Everything - is on King's Hawaiian Bread, burgers, brauts and sausages - everything, no exceptions! The last thing you need with heavy saturated fat meats is a bread, roll, bun, etc., with extra sugar. Seems like a low-key sponsored establishment. or the Owner is extremely passionate about King's Hawian Brand. read more

whether you get a burger or a dog you can't really go wrong! i do like the burgers more but i just prefer burgers over hot dogs overall. definitely come hungry, the food can be overwhelming. it's definitely a lot, especially if you get one of the items with more toppings. atmosphere is a cool place to hang out with some friends, maybe not exactly an ideal date spot. the hawaiian rolls as the bun works really well. employees are always friendly! i don't really have any reason to not give this spot 5 stars, it might be my favorite place to eat in Vista. i personally recommend the holy aioli or the classic cheeseburger, and the chili idol for dogs. i definitely need to try the breakfast burritos read more

It's called Dog Haus and they have hot dogs and sausages and burgers and burritos and more. But if "dog" is in the name, I'm getting dogs. They have a lot of space with both indoor seating and a large outdoor patio. There is free street parking everywhere. We tried two different dogs, one sausage (dog), and cheese tots. They could have put a tad more cheese on the tots--they were a little stingy there. The Old Town dog (bacon, chipotle, cotija cheese) was very good and had a great smoky flavor. The Cowboy dog (bacon, cheese sauce, BBQ sauce) was also very good. The T-Mex sausage (avocado, chipotle, jalopenos) was a tad spicy but overall, very nice. All of the dogs and sausages come on beautiful Hawaiian rolls. It sounds like a weird combination but it totally works. Now, I've got a few observations: They have a a bunch of good beers on tap but the board where the beers should be listed was barren. They were obviously lacking help on the night we were there. Was someone out sick or were they try to save a buck? In fairness, the service we received was terrific. But they clearly needed help given the number of customers. Overall, we had a good experience. The food was very good and I hope they get some help to make sure the ship steers in the right direction. read more

This is the most organized place I've ever experienced. I placed it to go order. They tell me 15 to 20 minutes. I show up. I waited another 10 to 15 minutes. Then the guy comes out and apologizes and said sorry they got slammed. I said that that's fine but can you tell me if they have even started making it because if not, I would cancel it. I waited another five minutes. He comes out and starts taking somebody else's order. Doesn't even address Me. read more

We went on a Saturday evening and it was super slow but the food was so good! My roommate got the Soo Cali and her review of it included "I didn't even need ketchup" which is a huge compliment bc she loves ketchup.... Anyway, the tots were SO good. The mix of sauce and cheese, jalapeño, avo and cotija? 10/10 AND I am NOT a tater tot person. Would 100% try again or any of their other tots. I got the hot chick (hot). I do think the spice could be hotter but there is one more level above hot so I'll likely try that next. You can pick but their images use the Hawaiian rolls as their bread and it makes it so unique and sooooo good. I would definitely recommend getting either the hotdog or any of their sandwiches or burgers with the Hawaiian rolls. It is self order (mostly) so we ordered on a screen at the front but the service was perfect for us. We ordered, went outside to sit, got served food, and were left alone. I think for this experience that's what was perfect for us. I can see this ambiance being perfect for later in the evening since their patio has lights but even in the early evening it was pretty and calm. We will definitely be returning! read more

From the description initially I had envisioned it to be a German pub. So when we went in and had to place the order and sit down. I had the impression that it was more of a fast food restaurant with beers. That said, I also had expected draft beers. But it seems that they were just reopening and draft beers were not ready. They did however have bottled beers for now. And hubby got a Stella Artois. I opted for diet coke instead. They have a fountain machine with limited diet drinks- just diet coke and the rest is regular soda and lemonade Place is cleanly kept. I noticed whilst waiting for our food that they do wipe the tables with cleaning spray right after a customer leaves. The restaurant is decorated like minimalist industrial feel. And feels like a quick pit stop-fast food kind of place. They do however have a large outdoor patio with benches. Sitting is split equally indoors and outdoors. They are definitely dog friendly here. I saw multiple customers with dogs inside and outside. They serve a variety of food; burritos, dogs , sausages, chicken burgers sliders. They also have kids meals Alcohol- supposedly craft beer, cocktails and ice cream. I didn't really see any options for craft beer today. Nor cocktails. Maybe in the future. Hubby ordered the cheese burger with onion rings. The patty for cheese burger was oversalted but the texture was good. He mentioned that the onions rings were really good. Crispy and not greasy. But he could still taste the salt long after eating. The buns were regular sweet dinner rolls. - so it looks like four sliders when it's essentially a burger. I had the cowboy dog. And requested for less bbq sauce They went lower on the bbq sauce but it was still too much for me. The cowboy was supposed to have cheddar cheese sauce but it was almost nonexistent. Also the dog was just mildly warm. I ordered sweet potato fries with this. The sweet potato fries were nice and crispy. I want to commend them on the way they cut the fries. Each fry is thin and crispy. And lightly salted. I loved their sweet potato fries. Overall, it was a decent meal for a fast food restaurant. 3 stars just because I expected something different, oversalted patty on the cheese burger and warm sausage. The onions rings and sweet potato fries redeemed this. read more

Great food, Top notch customer service! He stayed open for our order! Highly recommend.

Disappointing first visit. I went on a night when there was a special event in downtown Vista, and they seemed really short staffed for the situation. I used their kiosk menu ordering system to order a Bloody Mary and a sausage specialty. I paid the cashier for both. The food took a very long time to come out (understaffed) and there was no drink. I asked the food runner about the drink and he said, "Oh, we don't have Bloody Marys." Why did they have it on the menu and accept money for it? He claimed they would refund the difference, but they never did. Too busy to take care of my spending $9 plus tax and tip for something I never got. The sausage was good. read more

Super greasy, over fried. Couldn't eat it. My coworker ordered one too came out over fried poor quality. Update took the picture and receipt back and the owner who was In Hollywood at the time refused to issue a refund. Will not be going back to this place and definitely do not recommend. read more

Came for the chicken tenders which our kid recommended. First time thru they were weirdly good. This time, overcooked and way too much batter. Not good. They served it with the smallest side of ranch imaginable. I asked for a second tiny cup of ranch, and the guy actually had the nerve to charge me .86 cents. Pennywise, pound foolish.

Finally tried the chicken and it was not a good experience. I ordered online then called to ask for the sauce on the side because I wasn't sure I'd like it.

Very open atmosphere at Dog Haus. Large doors open to a generous patio. The vibe has an industrial feel with concrete bar tops and open seating. The staff was attentive and informative. Our server checked on us regularly and engaged in friendly conversation. Food was good. I had the cowboy with bbq sauce on the side. Delicious. My husband had the reservoir hog with slaw on the side. Both choices hit the spot. Flavorful without being over seasoned. We tried the queso hot fries and will pass on them in the future. Fries were way over seasoned but the sauce was very tasty. Tots were on point and highly recommend. read more
