I always love grabbing some chili cheese fries after a cold plunge in the bay. Have never had any issues other than wishing there was more seating inside would be nice but then again they have heaters outside too. The view is also very enjoyable.

I've been here a handful of times yet realized I'd not left a review. Being a vegetarian it makes me happy to have veggie dogs & burgers on the menu. And, all orders come with fries....really good ones I must say. My "impossible" hot dog was yummy & there are plenty of toppings to choose from. The woman behind the counter was friendly. There are a few indoor & outdoor tables. Definitely not glamorous yet a good view of the Bodega tidal marsh.

Great place to stop if you're traveling on Hwy 1 or visiting the Bodega Bay Area. This is my second time dining here and it was excellent both times. Today they were out of their vegan chili which was a bummer but I'll be stopping back by soon. Definitely recommend this business for good food, great customer service, clean restrooms, and what is most important for me VEGAN options

Want a tight bite while driving, before or after surfing? Are the kids driving you nuts and you know food will give you at least 40 minutes of zen? The dog house is the place. Fast and friendly service, well priced. A well stocked condiment bar, beautiful view of the Bay and the hand cut fries are to die for.

Best hot dogs in the world. Shannon buys quality hot dogs and transforms them into yummy dogs whether you want old fashioned or specialty dogs. My favorite is her chili cheese dog. She offers burgers too and delicious chili. Also fresh hand cut fries you rarely find these days. But I keep going for my two favs. The chili cheese dog and the bratwurst. Oh yeah.

Love the doghouse the service was great and of course, so we're the hotdogs. We were lucky to be right down from the place. You won't be disappointed. We have to go back and try the other delicious food items.

After driving by this place many times, Boyfriend and I finally tried it last weekend, and are thinking of going back this weekend too. I saw another review that said this is a great little local spot, not a tourist spot, and I completely agree. I mean, who comes to Bodega Bay for burgers, hot dogs, and fries instead of clam chowder? The spot is tucked away near Fishetarian, a realtor's office, and right next door to a small espresso/ice cream place. There are a few tables outside, a few small tables inside, and a small counter you can eat at that faces the window. They have lots of old-timey hot dog themed signs on the walls. Everything on the menu comes with UNLIMITED hand cut fries, which was the first reason I wanted to come here. Boyfriend and I both ordered the half-pound burger and I was going to order a side of onion rings, but the nice girl at the counter suggested swapping one of our sides for onion rings, since the fries are unlimited anyway. The burgers come on hot dog buns, so they shape the hamburger patties to match. Boyfriend and I agree that it is very clever and a good way to stand out. When our orders were ready, we proceeded to the condiments counter. The burgers (and presumably the hot dogs too) come with just meat in a bun, and you add the toppings yourself. They have lots of sauces: ketchup, mustard, deli mustard, thousand island, ranch, and probably a few others I've forgotten. They also have tomatoes, lettuce, sliced onions, pickles. I love the idea of adding the toppings yourself so you can get exactly what you want. The burgers were delicious and perfectly cooked. A little bit pink in the middle and a little bit drippy when you bite into it. The onion rings probably came from a frozen bag but those were really good too. Crispy and with a smooth outside. The fries were yummy and thick, a little bit squishy like most hand cut fries are. We rationed the onion rings but went hard on the fries, finishing off a second basket before we left. Boyfriend was impressed that, when we asked for foil to cover our leftovers, they gave us heavy duty foil. Our meal came out to about $30. We will definitely be going here on a regular basis.
