Dog Haus — Restaurant in Thousand Oaks

STOP what you're doing and read this!

I am always on the lookout for places to eat. I enjoy trying new things and I have a very high standard for what I consider great tasting food. I always take into consideration the time and effort it took to bring these things into existence. That being a restaurant.

This restaurant was not one of those places. This place was an experience. I was greeted by a friendly staff and a clean sleek atmosphere. The music was not too loud, the smells were alluring but not overpowering. There was not a smudge on the windows or a spot on the floor. It was flawless, clean, sophisticated..

I was given so many options, so many that it seemed endless, but I had to try the Holy Aioli burger. Served on a King's hawaiian bun lay a perfectly crafted burger grilled medium rare to perfection, atop it was two thick strips of bacon, grilled onions, and white cheddar cheese. The soft (not soggy) buns were lined with an exquisite garlic aioli which made this burger pop. The man who crafted this masterpiece recommended I tried it with a fried egg so naturally I accepted this challenge. I took the first bite and I immediately was filled with euphoria. This was something special..

I went home and curled up into a ball. My expectation was that I would go check this place out, grab a burger and eat lunch. I had to bring into question every burger I've ever eaten. Why did I eat them? Ignorance is truly bliss because the things I came to know and trust (when it comes to burgers) growing up, they were all shattered. Nothing remained, I was a hollow shell of a man. Would I ever be able to taste something of this magnitude again or was I doomed to never know anything else besides DOG HAUS? As the realization and entropy of my short, meager existence began to close in on me, I had an epiphany. I would write this review to let you all know that... This was a great burger!

Highly recommended. Will...

Enter the establishment noticing the lack of room inside the restaurant but, even then it’s dog Haus what can you say? The food always follows same consistency and for my trip I ate the ringer which is a patty layered with sweet BBQ sauce with onion rings on top and a layer of bacon. Personally the burger felt so fatty that I would reel in disgust at time with the amount of grease coating my mouth. Giving the benefit of the doubt since the location was packed with customers as the cashier had to stop taking orders to give the kitchen crew time to prepare the next batch. An associate of mine ordered a can of monster and to his surprise without the knowledge of the price found out that they price the regular not full size monster cans that have the special cap 5.00$. Which he would remark that he could get a monster can nearby for 4.50$ for two of them. Would still recommend people looking to dine into something new as dog Haus continues to spin the narrative for a creative burger.

6/10/22 I returned giving the benefit of the doubt of my past experience of this location and wow I thank my past self. I order the T-Mex and with every bite a wave of spice and kick punched my mouth as the avocado paired with sweet relish would clean my palette at every bite. I can honestly say that the hotdogs were...

Very little to recommend here. Location is RIGHT on thousand oaks Blvd 150 ft from the 101 freeway with the added benefit of the air blowers from the Shell drive through car wash making it nothing but noisey and loud

We asked if the fries were regular fries or if the were coated and seasoned and they said "only salted" so I ordered a burger and fries.

Turns out the fries are coated in that gawdawful flour and seasoning stuff, so they tasted just like the Head Chef at Dog Haus designed them to taste, but nothing like French Fries are supposed to taste like.

The burger was great tasting! Unfortunately it was constructed on some sort of 4way bun ... think like 4 Kings Hawaiian Dinner Rolls not separated.

After the first bite the to bun had separated into two halves and after the burger was half consumed the other half had disintegrated into pile of goo in the tray.

My girlfriend's kraft dog similarly disintegrated and her onion rings were of that same type- flour and seasoning coating, not breadcrumb like actual onion rings.

My evaluation of Dog Haus is that it's one of those places where the Corporate Chef designs the food based on how they...
