    The food is great, & the portion size is amazing; come hungry b/c you're going to get a lot of food for a GREAT PRICE. The owner, TJ, is also an amazing guy & great chef. He's very personable & engaging while he cooks, as well as while you eat (if you're eating at the food-truck). I'd highly recommend checking him out if you're in the area of Richardson Square Mall's old location.

    Food truck
    Walter W.

    Hot dog lovers here's the place to eat. Food truck is in the Lowe's parking lot at Plano Rd and Belt Line Rd Richardson Tx Restaurant quality. Every ingredient is premium, especially the meat. Eat in your car or take it home. T J is an expert food preparer and operator. Good example of an entrepreneur who deserves your support.

    Italian beef sandwich and Vienna Beef Chicago dog
    Dale I.

    This a food truck that does an amazing job of bringing Chicago to Dallas. The Italian beef sandwiches and beef hot dogs are so darn good! They have other options but my hungry belly knows what it wants and I order accordingly. You can usually find TJ at the parking lot for Lowes in Richardson but he gets around. Sometimes at local events or breweries. Follow him on Facebook and he'll let you know where he is at and where he's going to be. This a must stop for fans of Italian beef and Vienna Beef hot dogs. Go get yours soon!

    Chicago style dog. You can add pickles relish, mustard and condiments as much as you'd like!!

    I had the Chicago dog for the first time and it was really good. I can't believe I've never noticed this truck here while in the area. The owner is super nice and I'll definitely be back more often to try more of the menu!!

    best hot dogs i ever had in my life!!! affordable and delicious. good service and ambiance

    Chicago Dog that I like to eat at home. I always buy at least two dogs. One for lunch and another for dinner.
    Chris K.

    Always the best hot dogs. TJ serves them up hot and fresh with Vienna Beef and buns shipped in from Chicago, so you know they are real beef and the highest quality. TJ also has Polish Kielbasa, Philly Steak, Chicken, New York dog with sauerkraut, Bratwurst dogs, etc. so you are bound to find something you will love. Personally, I love the Chicago Dog, Polish Kielbasa, and the Boston Beantown Dog. The prices are a great deal, so make sure to give TJ a "big fat tip."

    Chili Cheese
    Alex B.

    Chili Cheese Dog was delicious. I'm a fan. I will have to come back. This pairs well with a four bullets blonde beer.

    I got the Chicago Hot Dog with chips and soda only for $6.00! I will definitely come back!

Because of that, I think it's only fair to highlight how much things have improved since then. I'm happy to report that my recent visit was significantly better, and nearly every criticism I had back then has been addressed. The food was outstanding. I ordered the Das Brat, loaded with bratwurst, caramelized onions, sauerkraut, spicy brown mustard, and garlic aioli. My family ordered the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich, the Santa Fe chicken sandwich, and the Ringer burger. Every single meal was excellent. The flavors were bold, the ingredients tasted fresh, and everything was prepared perfectly. A special mention goes to the Pretzel Bites. They were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and paired perfectly with the rich cheese sauce and mustard aioli. They made a great starter and disappeared quickly from the table. The service was also excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive, and did a great job despite clearly wearing multiple hats throughout the restaurant. I definitely appreciated the effort. And for beer lovers, Dog Haus offers beer in 1-liter pours. Naturally, I had to take advantage of that. Overall, the food was delicious, the service was awesome, and the entire experience was a dramatic improvement from my first visit years ago. I'm genuinely pleased to see how much Dog Haus Biergarten has improved and am happy to update my review accordingly.

    I have not had a Philly Cheese Steak this good in my life! Personally, it was my second time there-…read morethe first time was months ago and I got the original 10" for myself and my mom. The second time was lunch with my dad and we split another 10" Philly Cheesesteak. The service is hard to beat when you have the owner take your order and cook. Exceptionally, expedient given the busy lunch rush this last week. Ambiance was really comfortable because when the food is that damn good who cares.

    Fred, Fred, Fred…read more... I absolutely hate writing this review as we've been customers since you opened this Plano location. However our satisfaction has decreased with each visit. While I was pleased to see your lunch crowd had the place 90% full, the 22 minute wait for 2 lukewarm cheesesteak sandwiches (both mine amd my spouse's), having to ask for ketchup and being told "they are on the tables". Well, there are 9 tables and only 2 bottles of ketchup amongst them. Only after 2 other diners asked for ketchup was another (ONE) bottle given to the 3rd person to ask for ketchup. On a positive note... the fries were hot. perhaps you leave the cheesesteaks on the grill until the fries are done? Now the travesty of all.... the last 3 visits no Hank's sodas have been stocked. We are not Pepsi product fans. so we ended up with the 6 Oz water cup but it's free so won't complain about that. The cool temperature cheesesteaks were not finished by either myself or DH. Please get back to your standards that got us to be regulars, we definitely will be going to the Allen location before coming back unless we see positive reviews.
