The experience at "The Dog House" was uncomfortable to say the least. The woman running the stand was aggressive in her tone and impatient when taking orders. From the greeting (which there was none) to having her employee clean chairs around customers waiting for their food. While I can understand it was considerably hot and the 4th weekend... there was still a crowd of patrons that did not deserve to be treated the way we were. I cannot tell you if the food was enjoyable due to her lack of customer service. read more

Unpleasant service. It's a hot dog stand on the side of the road on the border of Wilton, not in the center of Times Square. If it's too stressful, find someone else who can manage it. Food was fine, but it's hard to justify giving money to someone this rude. What could've been a fun experience is deterred by angry staff. Two stars because live Jamaican music was good. read more

Husband and I had lunch here for the first time. I had a 10" hot dog on homemade bun with chili and Kraut, he had sausage with onions and peppers..both buns held up and sausage was very flavorful, however hot dog was on the thin side and was very light on the chili..mainly just tasted the bun..service was not up to par as the lady was very snippy at times borderline rude..although food was acceptable, probably won't drive the 30 minutes to have it again read more

I got to meet Bridgette while stopping in for a dog on my way home from work. She was so friendly and chatted with me while my dog cooked fresh on the grill. The home made bun was the perfect vehicle to load up on the toppings! Everything was delicious, including the apple cider whoopie pie!! read more

Have been coming to the Dog House for the past 5+ years and enjoyed, however the last 2-3 visits (trying to give them the benefit of the doubt) both owners have been very surly, stressed and fairly unpleasant. Friends I brought with me fully agreed. They did have an incredibly nice woman working in the gift shop that was their saving grace on our visit last weekend. I am hoping that things improve. read more

Food was good woman behind the counter was rude condescending and generally unpleasant. She seemed angry that we paid with a credit card she gave us the wrong drinks and was mad when we asked for the correct ones gave my daughter attitude when she asked simple questions about the menu. Overall a poor experience read more

Don't know when people went that they were treated rudely. We have been to The Dog House several times, and the people have always been very nice and friendly. Their 12 inch hot dog on a homemade roll is the best. A little bit of mustard and chopped onions and you have a delicious lunch. The cheese dog is good too. Tried their homemade ice cream for the first time Raspberry chip was out, but the owner suggested Rocky Road and it was so good. Strawberry Cheesecake was delicious as well. This ice cream beats the local favorite by far. Always an enjoyable stop when driving through the area. read more

Really rude woman working the dog stand and man working the store. Don't ask her questions or for napkins or she'll belittle you and stare you down. Make sure you order quickly, or while you're mid order she will start to ignore you and ask for the person behind you order. I've never had an experience like this. Food was mediocre at best. I won't go back! read more

10/10! I got the kielbasa and ice cream and would definitely go back :) minus 1 star for no gluten free options

My wife and I were very excited be in the Milford area and finally get to try this hot dog stand. Time on yelp said opens at 11. We pulled in at 1045 to see the gentleman setting up cans at the ordering window. It was raining so I figure this is good we'll be here for it to open. I hop in the back seat, unclip my crying three month old and start feeding him a bottle. The gentleman walks over and says this is a private parking lot and we need to leave. We ask if the hotdog stand is going to open and he just says it's closed. Well I needed to finish feeding the little guy. The gentleman just stared at my wife writing down her license plate number and calling who knows. Ran away when I got out of back seat and placed my son back in car seat. Drove past the stand 20 min latter. Sign now says open and still no one in parking lot. Obviously private property is private property and we totally understand not wanting people loitering but when it looks like you're about to open give a family a little leniency. We will not be back. Never got to try a hot dog. read more

Bridget definitely know how to make a dog! High quality products with all the variety you could dream of. Great road trip stop! read more

The woman running the whole show, taking orders and cooking, was very efficient, kept things running smoothly. The homemade bun was grilled nicely. This place is great! I paid cash, this may make things run more smoothly. read more

The Dog House is a little hot dog stand located on NH Route 101, just east of the Irving Circle K station in Milford. I enjoy hot dogs, especially at roadside stands, which are inexpensive, filling, and quick. This is one of three little hot dog stands on NH Route 101 between Keene and Milford that I've visited for lunch and all are located on the south side of the road (eastbound direction). The sign out in front states Grilled Regular Dog and Drink $1.00. However, the sign should be updated since the prices are actually slightly higher at $1.10 (plus tax) each for a basic regular hot dog and drink prices are $1.05-$2.25. A 10" hot dog and 12" hot dog are $2.20 & $2.65 respectively. Other than the basic self serve toppings (ketchup, mustard, & relish), other toppings such as chili, kraut. cheese, bacos, cole slaw & BBQ sauce are extra charge (prices are not posted), so be aware. They use Schonland's (Kayem) hot dogs. Besides the standard hot dogs, they also serve jumbo kosher hot dogs, buffalo dogs, veggie dogs, bratwurst, kielbasa, a variety of burgers (including buffalom ostrich, venison, salmon, veggie, chicken, turkey, hamburg, chsburg), Cape Cod chips, soups, chowders, baked beans, and homemade desserts (cookies, brownies, macaroons) and Cool Dogs. The prices are not posted for the preceding items, which leaves me as a customer wondering??? I enjoy the hot dogs here and I totally agree with another reviewer that the grilled homemade hot dog bun is the "star of the show." The hot dog is good, but that grilled hot dog bun ROCKS!!! The New England style hot dog bun is grilled very warm to perfection, slight crisp on the outside and soft inside with a nice buttery taste, one of the best touches to a hot dog! There's also picnic table seating for Dog House customers on the property. read more

Wonderful variety of gift items . It's a hidden treasure If your looking for unique and quality go !! I haven't had lunch there in some time but always hear good things . I don't think they need biz advice but I will say I had no idea the gift shop was there until a friend told me . Maybe another name for the gift shops read more

We've driven by The Dog House many times, and today we decided to stop for lunch. The food was delicious. The hot dogs were hot and fresh, and the buns were grilled to perfection. After reading other reviews, I was surprised to see people complained about the service. The service we experienced was amazing. The owner was very kind, and made an absolutely delicious lunch for us. I have to believe that if you go here and are polite, you too will be given exceptional service. read more

We will be back again read more

See all

Great little find. Normally not a hot dog person but after hiking Pack Monadnock needed some extra calories. Ordered the hotdog with the homemade bun and it was delicious - no toppings or sides. Probably one of the best hotdogs I have had. Took an ice cream home for later. That was also quite good. read more

Nice selection of sausages, has all the fixings and good tasting sides. Good still stop for lunch. Can sit in the shade in their picnic tables read more

What a great stop. Fun setting, nice people, good hot dogs- and a Buffalo burger. Yum. AND, the gift shop next door was Uber cute with lots of fun stuff from Europe. It was like a little Christmas store and we'll definitely picking up some Christmas gifts at this place. We recommend stopping by and getting a hot dog. read more

Based on the timeline of reviews, it seems like this place has come miles from where it started several years ago. The staff was friendly, the hotdogs with the homemade buns and sweet pickle relish were delicious, and the cucumber salad was lovely! My husband is a hot dog aficionado and he was thoroughly satisfied. I would easily recommend this to anyone passing through! read more

The first and last thing I'll say about The Dog House is get the homemade hotdog bun. I stopped by The Dog House with a friend because we needed a fast lunch and a dog friendly place. Since the seating is outdoors, The Dog House fit the bill. As far as atmosphere, it's just a little shack on the side of the highway. But it was definitely worth the stop. I got the hotdog with sauerkraut on the homemade bun. It was absolutely delicious. The hotdog was fresh and firm. And the bun, the real star of the show, was warm, buttery and hands down the best hotdog bun I've ever had. When you order, they ask you if you want the homemade bun or the regular bun, the homemade bun being extra. As I said in the beginning, definitely get the homemade bun. It's what makes it worth the trip. read more

The Dog House - Hotdog on the homemade bun with Sauerkraut - Food Stands Near Me - Milford, New Hampshire

Try the homemade buns! The footlong with chili and cheese was amazing! Go for the homemade toppings and sides, its delicious. Small family run place and the wait is worth it. Take your time in the gift shops there's alot to see and buy from around the world. read more

Hot dogs were grilled perfectly and sides were great. Cole slaw tasted fresh and home made. I tried the upgraded bun and thought it was worth the extra 50 cents. The dollar special is for real, although a snack size for most people. But way way better than any convenient store dogs that spin all day. Perfect place for a post-hike meal - sit outside and relax. read more

I ate here recently with my family. We all got different things, but we all got terribly sick after. Won't ever risk that again!

I spotted The Dog House today while searching for certain store & thought I'd try it out on my way back by. I got the chili dog which was just alright, nothing special IMO. I felt I could probably do better, but was edible & fresh. read more

One review that I read sometime ago said that The Dog House is a slice of Americana. I think that aptly summarizes my experience. Frankly, I'm yet to meet a hot dog that I didn't like and this was no exception. Beyond the hot dogs, which are fairly standard yet delicious, the best part of eating at The Dog House is the experience. It's fun to eat hot dogs at a picnic table on the side of the road. It is a quintessentially New Hampshire experience. I took off a star, because the man working the stand is something of a curmudgeon. I would be too if I worked inside of a hot dog stand that is the size of a porta potty, but the point remains that he is fairly curt. Still, it didn't impact my overall experience too dramatically, so I'm willing to overlook his behavior to some extent. It's probably not worth driving out of your way to come to The Dog House, but if you are looking for a quick bite and are in the area then it's worth a look. read more

Place is cool with ample parking and seating. Staff was super friendly and the hotdogs have tons of options for toppings. Ice cream was great! Prices were reasonable. read more

Rude and disrespectful. Worst customer service I've ever had, from the owner no less. I would give it zero stars if I could.

Rude, Rude and Rude.... The lady (person) was just not happy to be working.... First and last time there. The food was good ,beans were not homemade like they claimed. read more

I love this place; went today with my husband and my son. The hot dogs are awesome; we got one of each size, and the homemade buns are great too. There potato salad was amazing too, the service was quick; and the owner was super nice and friendly. There prices are good, and there selection is great too. I wish they were open every day! read more

What can I say GREAT Hot Dogs! I stopped by today and enjoyed a super dog! This place has been in business for over 35 years that itself should say it all in todays world. While standing in line a man ordered 5 Foot long dogs. He said he has been doing this at least weekly since they opened! Loves them and his wife does as well. The side item are super good had the clam chowder for the first time today WOW! Wish they were open years round ! Great food great prices Great service! read more

I have been to this location twice now and both times received the most horrid customer service one can imagine. The first time I ate here I asked for an untoasted bun. That seemed to offend the owner and she toasted the bun anyway. No big deal, whatever. I still ate the hotdog. The second time I couldn't remember if they took credit cards or not. I simply asked the owner if it was a cash only business. She was very rude with her response that they do not take cards and then she and another older woman laughed at me. I am disgusted that a place like this can stay in business. Why would you make fun of your customers? In 2015 all you need is a smart phone to be able to accept credit cards. It's not that crazy to believe that they would. Who even carries cash anymore? Her hotdogs are average at best and not worth the headache of having to deal with such a miserable old witch. read more

"VERY RUDE" is an understatement. My guess is the only reason this place stays in business is because unsuspecting travelers (like us) decide to pull off for a quick bite. Based on the other reviews (that I wish I had read before making the fateful decision to stop), I'm guessing the total B behind the counter was the owner because I can't EVER remember anyone being so incredibly rude to a paying customer in my entire life. Hey, lady, don't take it out on your customers if you hate your life. Do the roadside hot dog business a favor and try something better suited to your personality ... I hear WWE is looking for charmers JUST LIKE YOU. read more

Stopped by while passing through to get a hot dog. Ordered two plain dogs. They were cold. When I took them back to the guy he freaked out. He refused to make me two more COOKED hot dogs and told me to leave. Then he got out of his shack and took garbage out of the garbage can and brought it to our car that my wife had thrown away and told us to leave and never come back. All in front of my 9 year old daughter. I think he was mad because I had commented about FLOs hot dog stand in Maine to another customer. He kept saying "Take it to FLOs!". FLOs is over an hour away, they are not competition for this guy! Also, I doubt that he washed his hands after rummaging through the garbage to give us our trash back and I noticed he handles the food without gloves. Think about it....This guy has issues. Clearly. Oh, also as we were pulling out he took PICTURES of our car. Creepy! He was so mean I decided to change my name on my Yelp account. Yep, he was that freaky. read more

What a find..... We stopped and what a treat. We had foot long hot dogs with the home made roll. Didn't know it could be this good. Had baked beans and potato salad simply amazing. My son had the sausage pepper and onions (not what we have had for sausage and onions before Simply BETTER) on a tossed homemade roll. Milky way Ice Cream is a must try.... Affordable, Super service! But only open thurs to sunday. read more

Wetn to The Dog House with my family this weekend and had my usually foot long hot dog on the homemade grilled hot dog roll. Absolutely fantastic. My family shared an order of baked beans (just like mom use to make) and an order of the homemade loaded potato salad. The sides are almost as good as their famous hotdogs. Ice cream is back!! I enjoyed a dish of strawberry cheese cake and blueberry pie ice cream. We will be back again soon. read more

Best Hot dog I have ever had! Not much for writing reviews but had to after stopping by this gem of a place. The hot dog 12 inch was simply amazing, the roll , the chesse sauce, the chili all music to my taste buds. So good I had to order a second. The service was impeccable the woman loaded all this goodness on a tray and i hauled my bounty to a picnic table to enjoy. I could not finish the homemade potato salad they nicly packed it to go and I enjoyed it later that night. I understand they have been open for 30 plus years any one that can last that long is only because of great product and service. Again hands down the best hot dog i have EVER eaten. I will be back to try more off the menu. read more

The Dog House has the absolute best foot long hot dogs and burgers! The homemade rolls make this the most unique stand in the area! The homemade salad and baked beans are fantastic, the homemade cole slaw is a must have. They also have a selection of ice cream. The perfect ending to an excellent meal. read more

DO NOT COME HERE. My boyfriend and I came here today- HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. The owner was working behind the counter. VERY RUDE. My chili-cheese dog was soggy and repulsive. The owner then made us LEAVE after purchasing our food because I was drinking a Dunkin Donuts ice coffee! TERRIBLE SERVICE, TERRIBLE FOOD. read more
