| - This place took over the space where Johnny rockets was. There is another hot dog place across the street but this one was finished being built first. I didn't actually make it to this one until after going to the other across the street first, though. I feel they are going to start a cross street rivalry like many single stop shops do on the east coast which, ironically, both of these places originate from...the east coast. (I stand corrected. The owner was cool enough to point out that DogHaus is NOT from the east coast....so, it's more like a east/west rivalry, lol)
Ok, so onto the review. I rolled up late and by myself. After midnight and after a long night out. Cool atmosphere, low lights and funky music on. Good seating area. Reminds me of east coast seating with long raised slim style table like a bar with stools positioned adequately spaced apart. Televisions on each row of seats.
Now the food and service...service was nice. The girl was friendly, knowledgeable and smiling. It's always kind of hard going into a new place where they have numerous unique creations because I always want to read all of the ingredients to see which one sounds the most tantalizing but I feel like a dweeb sitting there reading every single one. So, to keep the excitement moving, I usually just ask which is the most popular. The girl pointed out a few. I think this is the best way. If the best is good enough, I'll come back and have a little better idea of what to order and how to order while having more confidence from feeling like a dweeb.
Now, this place has more options of dogs or sausages and kielbasa, etc. ( fun names btw ). I got the Pig Lebowski. The sausage was great. Perfectly cooked with just enough snap from the casing from well made charcuterie. Good flavor. The toppings were tasty but actually kind of took away from the sausage, in my opinion. Was piled on a little too much. It has Cole slaw, fries and pickles with a dark sweet sauce. These are all good but being a premium sausage, I was almost tempted to wipe off the toppings and eat the sausage plain. Like I said, the sausage was great which almost made the toppings seem unnecessary. And it was a lot to eat. With the combo of drink and choice of fries and tater tots, one dog was plenty to fill me.
