Dog Haus Biergarten — Restaurant in Eastvale

Did a quick stop here with an old friend. We were intrigued by the name and, of course, the large selection of beers.

They have small indoor and outdoor seating that might feel crowded if on a busy night, but for our visit was open and comfortable.

The bartender was very friendly and was attentive without being obnoxious about it. Good and actually very impressive when compared to many places.

The main disappointment was what initially attracted us. The "dogs."

We sampled the kielbasa and the brat. The kielbasa was ok with a pleasant spice at the end. Not a star by any measure but ok.

The brat was a major disappointment. This has happened several times and I am not sure why. This one was bland. Not grilled after being prepared in onions and beer where it would soak up flavor, just bland.

The "corn dog " also suffered from the lack of flavor from the brat and corn mix as well as being greasy. In a picture you can see the casing being still but not snappy.

Lastly, the chili. It is ok as a dog topping or maybe on fries, but should not be served alone. Also, the picture shows a serving. This is a topping sized cup not nearly a bowl and not worth what was charged even if it was the best chili I've ever had.(Read some of my other reviews to find a few places with great chili.)

So overall, maybe a good stop for a few beers, but taking someone here for dinner would have me sent to...

The Dog Haus is easily one of my favorite go to spots for a burger fix—they rarely, if ever, let me down. My favorite, the Hangover, is the ultimate comfort burger, stacked with chili, cheese, bacon, and a perfectly fried egg. I add pastrami to give it some extra protein and taste. Pair that with their crispy sweet potato fries, and it’s a meal that's in my top 5. Bonus points: every burger, sausage, and hot dog comes on soft, slightly sweet King’s Hawaiian rolls—because why settle for a regular bun when you can have an upgrade?

The Eastvale location has a laid-back, casual pub vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is friendly, the service is great, and they don’t judge when you show up for the second (or third) time in a week.

My daughter, who has a more adventurous palate, has sampled several of their burgers. The only near-miss? The Holy Aioli. She loved it the first time, but on one occasion, the caramelized onions had some unexpectedly chewy bits. Thankfully, the Dog Haus didn’t hesitate to swap it out for something else—great food and great service.

Bottom line? If you haven’t been to Dog Haus yet, you’re...

I waited 50+ minutes to receive my take out order for 4 people. Plainly unacceptable, and even discounting the absurd wait the food was weirdly not very warm. But food was overall fine, just save yourself some time and go to Upland or Pasadena instead.

Seriously, the wait was terrible. No warning from the workers about any backlog, they happily took our order and then proceeded to nervously avoid eye contact for almost an hour while they slowly got through the orders. Don’t get me wrong, I do feel bad for the workers, this is clearly a problem with management. I wasn’t the only one waiting, other take out orders, and more damningly online pick up orders, were clearly waiting at least 30 min for their orders. I heard one of the kitchen workers explain to someone else asking about their order that they were backed up because of all the in-person and online orders. Why accept online orders if you’re so backed up? Just turn off online ordering when you have a full house. Why not give fair warning about the wait to people getting take out before ringing them up? Other restaurants do both of these things...
