After having to close for several months due to renovations in the building, The Dog House is back and as good as ever! The Coney Dog is delicious and the fries are crispy and flavorful. The staff is super nice, helpful and willing to answer any questions you may have. If you haven't visited The Dog House, which is sure to become a Hagerstown staple, be sure to do it soon!

A hot dog place with veggie hit dogs and a veggie burger! Passing through Hagerstown on our way back from Berkeley Springs where, unless it's Mary's Vegetarian restaurant Vegetarian entrees - if there are any - are usually limited to a too creamy and heavy pasta dish. Plus almost any of the zillion types of hot div dishes can be made with the veggie dogs. Hubby had the pastrami beef dog. I had that, minus the pastrami, which went to hubby, and with added crunchy onion. Young woman who helped us was lovely, and helped us make our choices. Lived the old time atmosphere and will return any time we're passing through. Metered street parking. Handicap accessible entry. I think they sell beer and ice cream too.

I'm a hot dog loverrr, but this didn't really do it for me. I think the only reason it wasn't up to par was the mac & cheese on top. For me it tasted freezer burnt. The customer service was great, cannot complain at all, along with the unique store look!

Food is BOMB!!!!! Service is amazing with employees cracking jokes all around. The vibe is great and fun music plays. The hotdogs we got were super yummy.

Visit the square and immerse yourself in the diverse food and culture of Hagerstown. The Dog House is a unique spot, though parking is limited. Once inside, treat yourself to their delicious hot dogs. I ordered two, tempted by the enticing menu descriptions. I tried the Big Mac hot dog first and enjoyed its unique twist--while not an exact match, it was close enough to be delightful. The hot dogs were salty without being overly acidic, ensuring they wouldn't upset your stomach. One hot dog was so filling that I couldn't finish the second one. The buns were soft, the lettuce topping fresh, and overall, it was a fun and enjoyable meal. Staff was welcoming and gave tips on their favorite Dogs. It's a nice small diner shop so seating is limited.

Fries

1st time through the area and decided to hit up a local spot like usual and this dog spot came across my radar. We came and ordered a mix of dogs: the coney, chipotle, pretzel and the Mac dog. We mixed the type of meat; there's beef, pork and chicken; so we had them all mixed up. Topped it off with a Golden Ale from the local Antietam brewery and holy crap was it great! The service was awesome too. I give this a 10/5 stars. If you're in the area definitely hit them up.

We were welcomed by smiling staff, one of whom patiently guided us through the expansive menu. We ordered a chili cheese dog, Maryland Dog (crab & cheese) & crabby fries, as well as fountain drinks. It was tasty & our party agreed we will definitely be returning again & again!

Order here!

Good German food is so hard to find and imagine, finding a restauraunt with a chef that come from…read moreGermany! Everything we had from the herring appetizer and salad to our entrees, German beers and wine was authentic and wonderful. The restaurant is not very big so reservations are helpful. Nice staff and pleasant atmosphere!

This was one of the most disappointing dining experiences…read more I ordered the rice and shrimp dish, and for $36, I expected much better quality. The rice was severely undercooked, and although the menu advertised tiger shrimp, the shrimp served were much smaller than the tiger shrimp I've had at other restaurants. The portion and quality simply didn't justify the price. The service was even more disappointing. We were a party of 17, and it felt like our table was an inconvenience. I personally asked for water three separate times and still never received it. No one at the table had their glasses refilled. There was little to no initiative to check on our table, refill drinks, or make sure we had what we needed. Instead, it felt like our server was rushing us through the meal. I understand that serving a large party can be challenging, but if one server wasn't comfortable handling a group of this size, they should have asked for assistance from other staff. Large parties deserve attentive service just like any other table. Overall, the combination of overpriced, underwhelming food and poor service made for a very disappointing experience. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return or recommend this restaurant based on this visit.

This review is for Orange Julius / Dairy Queen at the Hagerstown Outlet Mall Food Court…read more.. What do you do when you get to the outlets at 10:30am on a Saturday...not quite lunch time but 4 quasi-hungry ladies want a snack? You find the Orange Julius!!! After a bumper to bumper one hour car ride (WHY did we decide to go to the outlets on the Saturday before Christmas???) 3 sisters and their mom were only interested in finding the nearest restroom so we headed straight to the food court. Walking the gauntlet you are greeted by fresh made pretzels drenched in butter, pizza sold by the slice, all types of meat sold on a bun and even french cookies that melt in your mouth for $2 a piece...and we walked all the way to the opposite end of the court because MY MOM (I'm 41) wanted a frozen orange drink (Growing up in the 80s and working at the mall, I am very familiar with the frozen orange drink that taste like actual orange juice but better because it's icy and creamy...nom nom nom...) So we are greeted by a friendly teenage who probably woke up just minutes before but he was so patient and sweet! Too many choices!! Do you order dairy queen soft serve in a cone or in a blizzard? Do you order a burger or hot dog...and now they serve french fries!! How about a fruit smoothie made to order??? Makes me chuckle that we finally order 2 juiluses (is that the plural form? lol), diet coke, a corn dog and nachos...if you are going to snack at the food court, go all out and get the processed cheese (did my uber-healthy Mom really just stop my sister from throwing out 2 tiny chip pieces and a glob of cheese so she could finish it? LMBO!!). Were we at the county fair or were we at the outlet mall? Who cares!! Great start to a Saturday of spending crazy money!! Bring the kids and introduce them to a small, yummy part of your childhood!!

This location is terrible. My husband and I have stopped by twice once at 8:15 and once at 8:30 on…read moredifferent days. Both times we were turned away by a rude young girl. When I asked if they were still open, knowing full well they were she responded "sorry not really I turned the oven off and the blizzard machine has been cleaned so we aren't making any" This is absolutely ridiculous and I hope her boss finds out that she continuously turns down business and is really lazy and rude.
