Good food. We split a burger with fries. I loved that it is small and you could watch your food being cooked. Nice format of having all the condiments (including lettuce and onions and pretty much anything that doesn't need cooking) at the condiment station. That way you get just what you want. Also nice that you can get a can of beer or cider if you are in to that sort of thing. Nice easy place to fuel up before a nature walk. I like that it is on a street between the highway and the bay. Somehow makes it feel a little more like a locals place. Not the fastest service, but the cook is really right there making things as you order, so you know it is fresh! read more

So happy to be here! Fresh attitude from the staff, happy and welcoming service. We enjoyed Bleu cheeseburgers, homemade fries, and the best Steak and cheese sandwich on the coast! Beautiful views of Bodega Bay too! Indoor and outdoor seating and a great place for people watching! read more

One of the Best Hot Dogs You'll Ever Have We stopped at The Dog House in Bodega Bay during our mid-January birthday trip from the San Jose region and had perfect weather to enjoy sitting outside. It was sunny with temperatures in the mid-60s, which felt more like spring than winter. The week before the area was flooded with rain. It's rare to find a local, non-chain that specializes in hot dogs. This place is a fun, very casual, local favorite and great if you are craving a great hot dog or burger. They have an excellent selection of classic and custom hot dogs, including a legit Chicago dog, plus hand-cut fries and burgers. Everything is made fresh and packed with flavor. The fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned, and the hot dog was honestly one of the best I have had. I only wish I could make them this good at home. Seating is available both inside and outside, and the vibe is very relaxed. It is super friendly, very local, and dog-friendly in the best way. Real dogs are welcome, not just the ones on the menu. They also have a good selection of beers, which pairs nicely with the food. Parking is easy and plentiful since it is right next to the local post office. If you are looking for a casual, fun, and delicious lunch spot in Bodega Bay, The Dog House is a must-stop. One of the best hot dog joints we have been to and highly recommended. I am going back next time I am in town. read more

I really wanted to like this place:( but there was Hair in my food, it costed $50 for two hot dogs, chili fries, and a drink. tastes very bland, + its dirty and unclean inside. Food has very low quality ingredients. Id recommend buying+ making hot dogs and oven baked fried instead. The chili fries consisted of bland fries reminiscent of fry oil with a dumping of chili sauce and kraft adjacent pre shredded cheese. I also got plain fries but they came with the chefs special: a side of hair intertwining 30% of the potatoes. Also, The topping station was kind of uncleanly. Costco hot dogs are $1.50 and bigger/ better taste. Lastly, tred with caution around the relish topping- its neon green... read more

as someone who is not a fan of hot dogs, i decided to branch out and give this place a try on my vacation. it was DELICIOUS, i got a chili dog and it tasted so scrumptious!! i was so happy to find out that their chili does not include beans. the fries were good and came in good portions. the place seemed clean and i loved the adopt-a-dog wall. read more

I've been here a handful of times yet realized I'd not left a review. Being a vegetarian it makes me happy to have veggie dogs & burgers on the menu. And, all orders come with fries....really good ones I must say. My "impossible" hot dog was yummy & there are plenty of toppings to choose from. The woman behind the counter was friendly. There are a few indoor & outdoor tables. Definitely not glamorous yet a good view of the Bodega tidal marsh. read more

I always love grabbing some chili cheese fries after a cold plunge in the bay. Have never had any issues other than wishing there was more seating inside would be nice but then again they have heaters outside too. The view is also very enjoyable. read more

Today we went to the Dog House and ordered our usual. Two half pound burgers (one with Pepper Jack and one with Swiss), one with fries and one with onion rings. Our total came to $39. The employees were friendly as always. Our order took about 10 minutes to come out, which makes sense for a weekend. We don't live closeby anymore so it will probably be a while before we're back again. read more

Food is ok at best. The woman working the front was very friendly and helpful. Ordered bacon on my chicken sandwich and didn't receive it. After waiting 40 minutes for my order it wasn't worth the hassle of trying to get the bacon. Might give them a shot again sometime, but not super eager to return. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a really long time because I am a fan of a good hot dog. We were extremely disappointed with everything we ordered. The hot dogs were decent at best, the Bacon Blue Cheese Burger had no flavor and their bacon tasted like plastic. And the Doggy Style Fries werent much better. Lets give them the benefit of the doubt that they had an off day with the quality of their food but at a $64 meal, will not be returning ever to find out. read more

Good, a little pricey but to be expected in the area. Recommend trying the doggy style fries.

I went here this past Saturday for work with my clients and co worker. The staff were friendly and kind. Nice view of the bay when sitting outside. I got a veggie hot dog with cheese fries and they were delicious! This was my first time here and I'll definitely be back for more. Very accommodating and super sweet employees. read more

The Dog House - view from our table at The Dog House. - Burgers Near Me - Bodega Bay, California

I've been loving this place for almost two decades. Don't let the name fool you. They have burgers too and house specials like wings. Whatever you decide you'll be happy Fresh hand cut fries. All you can eat if you hang out at one of the outdoor tables. Be warned though, this place is so loved it's quite often packed on the weekends which is the only time they're open. I usually order a chili cheese dog or a Chicago Dog with kraut. And fries of course. Something you might not know is the owner Shannon sponsors or co-sponsors myriad local events especially for the kids. She's an amazing person and such a hard worker and business owner not to mention an awesome mom and wife. She is loved by the community and all that know her. They have so many choices of dogs and burgers I'm sure there's something for everyone. Even though it's packed on weekends and the food is made fresh to order they'll have your order ready pretty fast. read more

Great place to stop if you're traveling on Hwy 1 or visiting the Bodega Bay Area. This is my second time dining here and it was excellent both times. Today they were out of their vegan chili which was a bummer but I'll be stopping back by soon. Definitely recommend this business for good food, great customer service, clean restrooms, and what is most important for me VEGAN options read more

Want a tight bite while driving, before or after surfing? Are the kids driving you nuts and you know food will give you at least 40 minutes of zen? The dog house is the place.

Great hot dogs with hand cut, fresh French fries. It was less than $15 for a corn dog, more fries than I can eat, and a bottle of water. Friendly staff, clean bathroom, and a coffee and ice cream shop right next door make this a "must" stop on a road trip down CA-1. read more

Super friendly and asked if we wanted our hotdog cut in half because we only got one. Two plates and two servings of fries. Super fresh tasting fries, like in n out but thicker. Thank you! Lots of posters and art to look at while you're waiting, didn't take too long even though a few people were ahead of us. Seating inside and out. read more

After driving past this place like a gazillion times, I decided to check it out. It's tucked away from highway 1 behind some buildings, a hole in the wall place for sure. Parking was ample though with views of the bay. There are several picnic tables for seating. Definitely more of a locals place than a tourist trap. My group ordered hot dogs and I had the polish dog, fries included on all orders. There's a long list of toppings and seasonings you can choose. Service was very friendly and we got our meals pretty quick. The food was rather delicious, the dogs were grilled and the fries were crispy. For under $10 a plate and a view of the bay, it's a win. The extra bonus...there's a coffee/ice cream shop next door. read more

We had a hotdog and fries. The hotdog was actually very good. There were many options for extra toppings. The fries were absolutely great. It was so obvious that they were made from fresh cut potatoes. Just the way I like them. Seating was outdoors but comfortable and they gave out doggie biscuits to the pups. read more

Delicious dogs and the absolute best fresh cut, all u can eat, fries. Clean bathrooms too!

We stopped by for lunch on Labor Day, and had a great experience here! Good food, friendly service, and Covid-safe outdoor seating. Our party of 4 ordered the following: 1) 3 Old Fashioned hot dogs - tasty 2) 1 Polish hot dog - very flavorful 3) Chicken tenders - great 4) Salmon burger - not bad 5) Fries - good (keep in mind each item comes with a side of fries, and you save $2 for each side of fries you decline; we got 2 sides of fries instead of the 6 that came with our 6 items, and that was more than enough) One thing to note - the toppings for the hot dogs and burgers all come on the side. The service was friendly, and when we arrived around 12:15pm, there wasn't much of a line. (When we left an hour later, there was a long line and the outdoor area was packed!) We appreciated the fact this spot had a good amount of outdoor seating, and the staff were all masked. We look forward to returning some day! read more

Stopped here after hitting the post office. Hadn't been here in several years. Young man working the counter (table at door) was friendly and helpful. Order came up and the hot dog was perfect. Overheard a local woman putting in her usual order for a burger. Several locals and a few tourists. Don't forget ice cream or a coffee after right next door. read more

2/15/21 "Fresh FRIES cut daily!" "Fresh ground chuck"... sounds good to me. 4 stars on Yelp. Oooooh.... nice... Look, there are 5 types of restaurant seekers, and the crux is... sometimes 4 of the 5 are the same person: 1. If I'm happy, anything tastes good 2. If it's a hole-in-the-wall place hidden in the backside of a cute little tourist town, I'm gonna love it no matter what 3. I have no taste buds, and never met food that didn't taste good... UNLESS there's too little of it or it costs too much. Then it tastes awful and I'm gonna enjoy that 1-star rating 4. I'm a nicey nicey, and I just won't write anything but 5-star reviews 5. ........and then the honorable: fair, consistent, accurate. So clearly, only 1-4's have visited. #5 came today. 1. Giant Vienna $9: It's a big hot dog, apparently steamed or boiled (not grilled), on a warmed bun. They ask you which toppings you want. Whatever you request is placed in the basket on the side, sauces in containers. So,... you know, basically they did the equivalent of microwaving that bun and dog for 'ya, and that's.... it. I have NEVER seen such low-effort EVER for a hot dog at a restaurant. Only Costco does less. Tastes fine. Except Costco is $1.50 for the dog + drink. So you know, this is like 9x the price.... 2/10 1a. Those "Fresh FRIES cut daily!": Oh it comes with fries. And these are probably the soggiest "fresh cut" fries I've EVER had. I swore they were store-bought frozen fries, but I doubt they're liars. 2/10 2. Half Pound Burger $11: Funny thing was when they called my number I walked up, grabbed the dog and brought it to my table. Then I came back for the hamburger and looked, and was like.... huh?--then I walked back to the table and looked. Yup, that's the dog. Then I walked back to the restaurant counter and looked--.............. OH SHT.... they put a patty inside a hot dog bun. YUP, I gotta hand it to them--that's a great way to cut cost of materials, just used the same bun for hotdogs and hamburgers! GENIUS! .....but I think you know what's coming: right, that "fresh ground chuck" was probably one of the worst patties I've EVER had at a restaurant. Imagine a patty made out of falafel, but hardened. That's what it tasted like. Not rubbery, but a dusty and chalky dryness. Oh and like the hotdog, ABSOLUTELY NO EFFORT here. In fact, they committed one of the 10 sins: because the cheese was melted onto the meat, and placed between buns when served, the whole thing stuck together. There was no way you could peel back the bun from the cheese as it was glued together, without ripping the flesh from the bread. I HATE THAT!--don't you? So, since all the toppings are on the side, what to do what to do??? 1/10 3. Large Diet Coke $3: Yeah it's large. So person #3 would be happy with this. 4. Corn Dog $7: I didn't order this but thought I'd share cause it's HILARIOUS. I asked them if this was made in-house, as in hand-dipped here. Cashier said no. I asked, "Is this frozen?" "Yes." So there you go--$7 for a store-bought frozen hot dog. I rest my case. If you see anyone enjoying their food here, leave them alone. They might want to eat you too. 1/5 #burger #burgerstand #bodegabay #star #worstever #fastfood #americanfastfoot #hotdog #hotdogstand read more

It's a pretty typical roadside burgie. Everything served on a hot dog bun, even sandwiches and burgers. Build your own toppings bar so you get to make it how you want. Burger patties are generous size and you get that char taste which is yummy. Everything needs salt and pepper but it's easy to add. To go orders are hard because they are not wrapped/bagged, so plan accordingly. It's a tasty quick burger joint where choices are limited. It's totally worth checking out. read more

The Dog House - I'm in hot dog heaven - Burgers Near Me - Bodega Bay, California

Years ago we discovered this place when we stopped for ice cream next door. We have been back many times and have yet to order a hot dog. That will have to be a future review. We are obsessed with their burgers. The 1/3 and 1/2 pound burgers come on on a soft sandwich bun (longer than wide). We order them with cheese and bacon. I add tomatoes and pickles while my wife adds onions. The fries are all you can eat; we're usually good with the initial pile. Parking can be a challenge since the local post office is literally next door. The dining is outside, which on a nice day is great. If it's foggy or cold you end up eating in your vehicle, which can get a little messy. We'll have to go back for the hot dogs. Maybe one day. read more

If you are in Bodega Bay and not hankering for seafood but instead a hefty good ole burger or dog...well check out the Dog House. They also have corn dogs, brats, fries, shakes, bottled beers, chicken tender, steak sandwich, BLT, and burgers: turkey, garden, and salmon. They also have a kids menu. Just be aware the pricing is higher than inland fast food, but a bit cheaper than a sit down. But there are no fast food in this idyllic hamlet. This joint is located off the main road in a small business building next to the post office. The place has very limited indoor seating with mainly outdoor seating, very casual joint. You order and pay at the counter, they'll shout out your number for you to pickup. The building faces the bay, walk across the parking lot and enjoy the view while stuffing your face. The dogs/brats are Vienna brand. Great quality. The burger patties are shaped in oblong patties to fit the hot dogs buns. Cool. The order of fries are unlimited, but the catch is it will take awhile for your second+ fry ups especially during busy times. However, you do get a tiny batch of fries with your dog or burger. The dogs are usually grilled but they don't during busy times. But if you prefer them grilled, just ask them. Trust me, it taste way better grilled. The chili is meaty, yum chili cheese fries. The dog was delicious; hefty, meaty and juicy. Also they don't grill the buns, be it burger or dog. To me, if they did, it would elevate the taste a bit. But I have no complaints. The weekend crew was hardworking and fun. Awesome. read more

Reviews from way in the past mention employees' cross contamination of raw beef with cheese, lots of touching with unwashed, ungloved hands, smoking outside, etc. We saw none of this during our two visits. The 1/3 lb hamburger was served on a gourmet hoagie bun - like Costco sells - and surely was more than 1/3 lb, cooked to our order and fabulous. Folks also complained that food was plain and needed condiments but all the stuff you want, including salt and pepper, are off to the side - help yourself. We returned to try the NY steak sammy and it was great, a high quality slab fully covering the hoagie roll (3"x8") and cooked to perfection for $16. The corn dog was only so-so. Fries were OK but hey they're fries not health food. Folks also complained about the price - have you eaten in Bodega Bay? $46 for a steak and no fries down the road. And you need a reservation. We'll be back! read more

I think Dean C. left one type of reviewer off their list. 6. The "I'm just never going to be satisfied and I'm going to make the biggest stink out of every little possible thing I can because I have a place to do it and I can" reviewer. This place is fine. Food is exactly what I'd expect it to be being next to a beach with a lot of visitors. I enjoyed the burger in hotdog bun myself. I guess I just don't know what's up. ‍ If you see someone here having a fit about the food, stay away because it's probably not the only thing they have a problem with and they'll let you know all about it. read more

Cute little hot dog joint right by Bodega Bay!! Next door to Captain Davey's Ice Cream & Espresso. The Dog House has great milkshakes, presumably ice cream from next door - they were delish!!
