★★★★★ 5.0 Douglas Arterburn · Jan 2025

While exploring NC it was fun to stumble across the Dog House. The dogs were smaller in size but you can’t beat the price. We had the Tailwagger Combo with Hound Dogs. Fries were crispy and dogs were delicious. Great spot for quick bite at a good price.

Now this is a simple, no frills, no thrills kind of restaurant. I like it. I has a simple menu and has cheap prices. This was my first time trying the restaurant in general and first time at this location. I originally wanted to try the American Classic Burger (looked at the menu online) but this location doesn't serve burgers. So I got the Tailwagger combo. It comes with two hot dogs (all beef dogs are $1 more), medium order of crinkle cut fries, and a medium drink. Not a bad deal plus you can choose what toppings you want it. I kept it simple and just did ketchup and my husband did chili and cheese. The customer service was great and she was very helpful and knowledgeable.

While exploring NC it was great to have an opportunity to try the dog house. The dogs were smaller in size like any other, but each cost about $3. Not bad and just good for a quick bite.

Such a great local restaurant. The hot dogs and bbq are tasty. The fried apple turnovers are like the old McDonald's turnovers- crisp and delicious. A friendly staff. Highly recommend for a quick lunch.😀

★★★★☆ 4.0 Leni Foster · Jul 2025

It sits nestled at a busy locale off the main strip. It can be easier or more difficult to get in/out depending on what direction you're coming from. The spot was definitely busy with customers around the lunch hour. The menu has good selections but not too overwhelming with choices. I decided to try the dogs and made it a combo. Order taking and check out was quick. This is not a sit in place. Instead you walk up to the order window and go for it. The server lady was professional when taking my order. To get my food took about 15 minutes. Everything was good overall. My only quirk was that it didn't seem like a lot of food. I definitely recommend you stop by and check it out when in the area.
