A Tasty Stop at The Doghouse! The Doghouse in Portland offers a fun twist on classic favorites. I ordered two Chicago dogs along with their cheesy kicking fries. The plating and overall presentation were outstanding, and you can tell they take pride in the way their food looks when it hits the table. The Chicago dogs were good, but I felt the build could have been a bit closer to a traditional Chicago style. They were not bad by any means, just not quite at the "great" mark yet for that authentic Windy City bite. The cheesy kicking fries, on the other hand, were full of flavor and definitely hit the spot. I look forward to trying more on the menu next time! read more

Man, I love this food cart. They have the best tots and their burgers are dependably great. They are under new ownership and it really shows... the staff is way friendlier and I love the way they are making their breakfast burritos with a runny egg in them now. The prices are very fair here too. With I would have snapped a picture of the cross section of my Sirens Call burrito but you'll just have to trust me. read more

I stopped in since, honestly, most of the other carts in this pod were closed. I'm definitely NOT a hot dog person, so something must have really been extraordinarily temping about the "Bacon Cheddar Dog" for me to order one here. Much unlike another brick-and-mortar "gourmet hot dog" place I reviewed, The Doghouse really knows how to do dress up an otherwise "normal" hot dog. The hot dogs here are served on a very large (what I suspect is a Costco hot dog) bun, which is absolutely filled to the brim with whatever style of hot dog topping you ordered. In my case, it was a comically large amount of perfectly cooked, crisp, and lean bacon over an overly generous amount of cheddar cheese. Somewhere underneath all of that is the actual hot dog. It was absolutely, amazingly, great! Despite the thoughtful proprietor's asking me if I wanted cutlery and happily supplying it, it didn't help me to eat it. These must be tackled head-on, with your hands getting rather messy in the process. It was absolutely worth it! The French fries were excellent as well...hot, crispy, flavorful, and fresh! They also offer burgers, including the Impossible Burger. I'll probably opt for one of those the next time. I'm happy that most of the other carts were closed, and that I had the opportunity to check The Doghouse. I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more

I've found that the better breakfast burritos are at Mexican food places, but there are standout exceptions like at the Doghouse. Too bad I don't like mushrooms because they're part of most of the creations at this cart. The Icognito - without mushrooms - was so good. The shredded potatoes are crisy, rather than cubed and boiled. The grilled onions and aioli complement it well. Likewise, the Love Actually was a winner. Unfortunately, I didn't care for the Siren's Call. It's the first option for breakfast burritos so maybe it's a crowd favorite. Size wise, the burritos are big and provide decent value compared to others in town. The soon-to-be new owner is cool. Parking can be tough. read more

First visit today, difficult to find parking on this Sunday noon. Even though the area was busy the truck court wasn't slammed. We placed an order and received our food quite fast. The service was very friendly! We ordered a bacon cheeseburger and a 'merican, with shoestring fries and tots. The burgers were very filling (3rd pounders) and very tasty with plentiful toppings. I was a tad bummed, as my 'merican didn't have crunchy smash style edges like the hubby's bacon burger...but it was still a fabulous burger. The fries and tots seemed straight out of the frozen bag, nothing special there...but the fry sauce...albeit thin, was yummy with a slight spice. Maybe skip the sides, but expect a substantial menu of nice, tasty burgers. read more

A delightful place to get satisfying comfort food to-go. Service was pleasant, efficient, and properly masked for pandemic preparation and plating. I was craving a burger during a long absence from visiting carts, and the Doghouse came through with the Momentary Indiscretion - pleasantly messy with grilled mushrooms and onions, plus asiago cheese. My friend thoroughly enjoyed the Unexpected Perfection burger - with bacon, bleu cheese, and grilled onions. He opted for a serving of bbq sauce instead of ketchup, and was very happy with that choice. I chose tater tots as my side, and it made a perfect accompaniment to my first burger in quarantine times.... read more

I've have to apologize to Angie at the dog house as I've been eating at this amazing food cart for over a year and have not posted. If your are in SE Portland & 50th and want an off the charts hot dog, burger or a home made burrito - you must stop and eat !!! Their home made burgers and their sauces are scrumptious - the hot dogs are also yummy and of course their breakfast burritos are really really superb!! Lastly you in Portland - don't forget to order their Tatar Tots Bon Appetite Ronn just Ronn The hole in the wall food guy read more

Is it a policy that you have to be the rudest person ever to work here? I'm completely shocked. I refused to eat here bc the girl "with the dreads" was such a miserable human and so rude. Tonight I saw a different person working so I was so happy to support this cart bc the food is good. The guy looked at me and said nothing. I ordered and still nothing. He asked for my name and that's it. The look in his eyes looked like he wanted to jump over and kill me. WTF? read more

I would describe the food as.Super messy, soggy, and lacking flavor. This afternoon, I ordered cheese fries, a Chicago style veggie dog, and the momentary indiscretion burger (with house veggie burger). The fries- soggy and just drenched in sauce Veggie dog- messy and tastes like nothing but spicy mustard Burger- meh read more

I feel like whoever made this just hates their job. How hard is it to put on fresh nice looking lettuce leaves on a burger? ...the 5 pieces of canned pineapple...lol bro seriously reconsider what you do for a living. Absolutely zero truffle flavor in the "truffle aioli", code for mayo based sauce,....Kicked Up Cheesy fries were so soggy. Had the Trouble In Paradise burger, was true to it's name lol. read more

I had the tater tot bowl and it was soooooo good!! Perfectly cooked tots with bacon and cheese and an egg!! It was ready quickly and the guy was super nice. I'm so glad I got this!! read more

Came here based on a friend's recommendation and I highly recommend it. It is located in a food cart hub. There was a short line when we got there. I ordered their Naughty in Nogales which is bacon, pepper jack, grilled pineapple, onion, and jalapenos on tater tots. I requested that the topping was separated from the tater tots because I just love the crispiness of the tots. This is NOT a place for you to get a quick go-and-grab. The owner cooks the food to its finest. The tater tots are perfectly fried without oil seeping through. The grilled pineapples shine through the bacon and the melted pepper jack cheese. Sounds like a lot of calories? Yup. Will you feel guilty after eating it? Not at all. It is definitely worth it. Definitely coming back to try their other tot bowls. read more

The Doghouse PDX - Naughty in Nogales - Hot Dogs Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Really delicious hotdogs! But their burgers and fries are amazing too! I really enjoyed the Chicago Dog especially the relish, mustard and pepperocino flavors! They use a good high quality bun too. The actual hot dog is so tasty ! The Brunch burger is a must try! The fried egg with bacon, cheddar and onions was outstanding. However my favorite ingredient of the Brunch burger was the house garlic truffle aioli it really adds amazing flavors to this delicious burger. This awesome food cart is located in a pleasant food cart pod that also has a great beer bar with outstanding local beer and wine options. The seating area consist of cute picnic style tables. This is a fantastic place to eat some perfect hotdogs, burgers and fries! read more

cool cart decent priced and i'd say average burger. Their woman at the counter wasn't very friendly though. Their crinkle cheesy fries were pretty good but not worth $10-it's essentially just crinkle cut fries with parm and shredded white cheddar. Not a ton of seating in these pods either. Probably won't be back but it's one of the burger options here and I'd say go for it if you're really hungry read more

Burgers and fries were A+! They have vegan and gluten free options as well as the standard omnivorous fare. Service was fast!

Lady running the truck was busy and by herself, I get it. But she only called our name for the order once and we didn't hear it. So instead, she let our $35 worth of food get ice cold while we sat there and starved. Could it have hurt to yell the name again??? Did she really think we left or something? Not coming back. Additionally, we've ordered here before and the service is typically pretty rude. You're good ain't that good, ladies.... read more

Delicious, high quality ingredients, great service, unique dishes, shaded outdoor seating, what more could you ask for?! I had a craving for a real Chicago style hotdog and omg this place does it right... And the tator tots, wow! The tots are super crispy, I think they're lightly dusted in something before getting deep fried to perfection. I got the truffle tots and surprisingly, they stayed crispy for the ride to my next destination. The chef/maybe owner was so kind and talented. Can't wait to go again and try other amazing creations on their menu! Also, get great beer from Bears Brewing and you've got an amazing meal. read more

Twice now my meat has been burnt beyond recognition. This is repulsive and should NEVER be served. It's time for a new burger spot. Two stars because when they don't burn it it's good. read more

As one of my final meals on my Portland trip, I had hemmed and hawed searching yelp for a good option. It was the image of that crispy cheese that drew me in. Given that it was getting later, I hopped in the car and hightailed it eastbound to get in on some of this sorcery. Once I got up to the window the proprietor turned around the open sign. I made it just under the wire. This was the culinary equivalent of Indiana Jones sliding through the closing door with just enough time to stick an arm out and snag his fedora from an eternity away from its' person. Now these flavors were completely out of hand. These flavors were like Rodman and Malone in game 6 of the 98 finals. They were in your face and weren't taking any prisoners. The Night in Bangkok borrowed from the fools gold loaf and put the Doghouse spin on it. 10/10 would return. read more

The photos looked promising. I had 1 Night In Bangkok candied bacon, peanut butter, pickles, spicy garlic chili sauce and sesame oil. It was ok but super oily, the oil masked all the other flavors. I think I would trade that type of chili out with a garlic chili paste and nix the sesame oil. I also had, Kicked-Up Cheesy Fries asiago cheese, house garlic truffle aioli and house spicy aioli. They didn't taste that great either. I don't like giving reviews like this. I was so stoked to try this place based off the photos. The customer service was great though. read more

I've wanted to try this place forever and am glad I came. I got one of the vegan burgers, and it was delicious. I loved the different textures and flavors. The richness of the avocado and truffle aioli were just right. The bun was impressively good. The caramelized onions and mushrooms were fantastic. I think this is the best veggie burger in Portland! I really want to try one of the tot bowls in the future but need a group of folks to do so. Someday.... read more

As I stated in my previous review, I came back to give the tator tots a shot. I initially came to get both the 1 Night in Bangkok burger as well as some tots, but after my first unsatisfying experience with their burgers, I decided to only get the tots and get a wrap from Viking Soul Food. The lady noticed me from my prior review, so I'm glad to know they pay attention. Shows that they care. I gave the Naughty in Nogales a shot, and boy was I surprised. These tots came loaded and were excellent. Definitely changed my perspective of this place. The pineapple was a perfect kick to these tots, bacon and kicker sauce made it great, and it kept a great composure of slightly sweet and salty. These tots were satisfying and my co-worker after seeing mine ordered the same item for himself. Probably the best "loaded tots" or "nacho tots" I've had. I left more full from these tots than I did from the burger. This just goes to show that don't knock a place after trying something once. I still hold true to my first review as I felt that I have had much better burgers, but if the burgers don't satisfy my taste buds, there may be something else that will. I may be open to giving their burgers another shot now and regardless their tater tot platters are hands down delicious. read more

HANDS DOWN BEST BURGER I HAVE EVER EATEN IN THE ENTIRETY OF MY 21 YEARS AND 22 DAYS OF LIVING! This burger, served on a bed of greens, is called the Brunch burger. It's a perfectly cooked, thick grass-fed burger patty topped with bacon, an egg, avocado, onions, and truffle aioli. I was swaying with joy while eating it.... no shame. If you haven't tried Doghouse PDX at @tidbitpdx DO SO! I promise you will not regret it. This place has several paleo options, they are very Celiac safe (though their facility is not dedicated gluten free), and their prices are very fair. I hope when I enter the gates of heaven, I'm handed one of these before anything is even said. That might be a little heretical buuuuuuut.... this was a GOOD burger. . read more

For a food truck this place was awesome. The truffle tots are what took this place for me from a 4 star to 5 star. The truffle aioli sauce was amazing. Do yourself a favor and get these!!! The burger was a standard patty. Hoodoo brown burger. Jalapeño and bacon was good. Staff here was awesome and helpful. Great at finding out what you like and suggesting items. Down from Salt & Straw in a food truck park. read more

I went here last night with my husband for a snack. We got some beers from Scout which had a horrible beer selection (their only IPA was a ginger one) and decided to pair it with tots from Doghouse. They have a small but satisfying vegan menu that is clearly labeled. I ordered the tots that had truffle oil, chunks of avocado and some sort of yummy sauce. We really enjoyed them. We even had some left over between the two of us. I would definitely go there again. read more

Delicious food and great service. If you're craving a burger this is the best place I've found so far. Happy eating :)

Had their breakfast burritos and was awed by the size. Amazing flavor, great options and quick service. I'm ready to go back for more!

I had the 1 Night in Bangkok burger for something a little different. Peanut butter, candied bacon, some kind of chili sauce, pickles. It was solid, not too spicy. Some mild hotness, but not like what you'd get from jalapeños or anything. I'd love to try more of their burger styles if I lived nearby. Default is cooked medium, I asked for medium-well which wasn't a problem. Service was great and there are plenty of picnic tables (covered and uncovered, heated and unheated) in the food truck park to sit at. read more

First of all I don't eat meat so I can't review their animal products but I can give a glowing review of their vegan menu. A drive into town , in the late morning , must include a stop for the best vegan breakfast burrito in all of pdx. Lots of tasty ingredients go into those burritos : grilled veggies , hashbrowns , chao cheese, just egg, yummy sauces and sausage ... I mean these burritos are so heft you really only need this one meal for the day . Service is fast and friendly . I am never disappointed. I LOVE this cart . read more

Hungry?? Head to The Doghouse PDX and your belly will thank you. They don't just serve amazing hot dogs, but also HUGE burgers, tot bowls, and fries. I got the truffle treasure today, which was a large helping. I could've shared it with 2 other people (but I didn't! ) It seems like the owners are often working, so you know the food is full of heart and soul Only change I would make is adding more greens to the dishes (but I know that's a personal opinion!) read more

Last week the meteorology types were forecasting rain, rain, rain for all this week. Didn't happen. Instead, it has been invigoratingly dry and cool - with even sunshine at times. Ah spring, and those nascent plum and cherry blossoms! So what does this all mean? It means it's time to return to the food carts! Timbers Doghouse PDX is one of the new faces at Good Food Here, so I decided to check out their eats. I ordered their most basic burger, the Blissed Out Burger, containing a patty, mustard, ketchup, onions, pickles and lettuce. They have a tater tot mania here (tot bowls!) so I felt compelled to at least try the Tantalizing Tots. The burger was great. First of all the bun was soft and sturdy. If I may pause to editorialize a bit, I've seen a curious trend where many businesses are switching over to a genre of crappy buns that fall apart after a couple bites. Country Cat, Otto and Dot's - are your ears burning? I suspect they are from the same bakery. So kudos to Timber's for picking a good bun. I particularly like the smoky taste of the Blissed Out Burger. And the beef is high quality. Note: you can add another patty for a little over $2, but the single patty is plenty hearty in size and you likely will be satisfied with just the one. My tots were perfect - crispy and seasoned with black pepper and perhaps even a little garlic. P.S. Hopefully Yelp will fix Timber's address. Timbers is no longer in Woodstock, it's on Belmont. (4/1/13 note: it's fixed) read more

Just got a tot bowl with bacon, grilled jalapeno and pineapple, and pepperjack cheese. Substituted sweet potato fries for the tots. Kind of looked like a mess and was oh so delicious. Fries had just the right amount of crisp and excellent flavor. All the ingredients tasted so good together. The service was excellent and the price was right. Looking forward to trying a breakfast burrito here and maybe an impossible burger. Food-5/5 Serving Size-5/5 Price-5/5 Service-5/5 read more
