Haute Doggery — Restaurant in Paradise

When a shop ask $8 for a hotdog, all items sold separately and 79 cents for sauces, I expect something worthwhile. What I recieved was an emaciated tube of mystery meat smothered beneath subpar toppings.

I ordered the Tijuana dog which sounded like a street dog you'd get in downtown LA (bacon wrapped dog, grilled onion, grilled or fried jalapeño and mayo) I was disappointed to see pickled coin-cut jalapeños ontop of what looked like Mr. Burns shriveled "money maker" peeking out of a bush of onion and mayo. Diameter was maybe 1/4 inch and length about 6 1/2", not something you'd brag about especially not if the only razzle dazzle you get came from the atmosphere outside. The bun was your standard cheap backyard BBQ buns, the edges were a bit stale and added nothing to the overall experience but the regret that any "Accountant" must feel leaving Mr. Burns bedroom covered in mayo and onion juice.

We wanted to try something new and get the kids out of the house and thought this place would be fun. A 20minute car ride and a small trek through the Harris Casino built undue anticipation for Haute Doggery.

Cheese burger, corndog, onion rings and fries were pretty basic, the mushroom dog was made pleasant by the sheer amount of cheese I was told.

Staff seemed defeated and I can see why, this food is as joyless as it is tasteless. In total it was $44 for 6 items so price range for that area is fairly cheap but personally the quality of food ranked below a gas station hotdog.

The 2 stars are for those two staff members who tried their best to make something positive out of a...

Haute Doggery was quite mediocre for the cost. When we’re spending $33 on two hot dogs, a shared order of fries, and two 20oz bottles of soda ($4 each for those), we expected better food, service, and experience. The venue is very small, a counter with about eight or ten stools and fast food style tables for maybe another dozen people. The music was very loud and the drunk people sitting next to us were noisy and obnoxious (not the fault of the staff but nothing was done to remedy it, either). I ordered the Mac N’ Cheese Dog (which, ironically comes on a Polish sausage, was tasty) and my wife got the Fun-Ghi Dog. The Fun-Ghi Dog was supposed to come with mushrooms but, AFTER we paid, the cashier informed us they were out of mushrooms, and then she just kind of stared at us. She didn’t provide any alternate options or offer a discount or other compensation (such as a higher price item for no additional cost) so my wife said it was fine to make it without the mushrooms. The french fries were your standard, counter service dining crinkle cuts. If the environment hadn’t been so noisy and unwelcoming, we may have tried them again before...

The place was dirty with junk all over the floor, and the tables had caked on dried food and condiments. When we asked the tables to be cleaned, somebody came out begrudgingly and simply smeared the ketchup and whatever else was there on the table with a dirty rag. Needles to say, we took our food to go.

Then the food was terrible.

Absolute garbage. We ordered 2 hot dogs and 2 corndogs. All of them were cold. The corndogs were still frozen in the middle.

We ordered the mac & cheese dog, and it had 5 or 6 pieces of pasta with unmelted cheese sprinkled on top. No mac & cheese.

The other hotdog we ordered was supposed to have bacon and garlic aioli. There was no bacon, and maybe it had one drop of garlic aioli.

I can't give this a lower rating because the lowest score only goes to 1 but it really deserves like a -3.

If you're really craving a hot dog, take a 3-minute walk to the liquor store down the street and get a hot dog 10x better for like 1/3 of the price.

Seriously,...
