Hotdogs, with their satisfying appetizers, deep fried macaroni bites. Hard to beat this combination. Each hot dog comes in different sizes and unique robust flavors. We tried a few and loved each one.

Food and service were excellent! I've always seen The Doghouse on my visits downtown but never considered eating there before. Big mistake! I had the shrimp basket, and my oldest child had a burger. Said it was the best they've had! I'll be back with the entire family!

Beautiful venue. We sat outside under the patio, eating our lunch and watching the crowds. We both ordered the a quarter pounder. All beef hat dog, my husband got the ruben, and I got the chili cheese dog with extra onion and a side order of onion rings. My husband got the Chili Cheese Fries. Everything served up hot and fresh. Our waitress was very sweet and friendly. Fun cool place and good eats at a decent price!!

Stopped here today as we were in Pensacola on other business. We had our dog with us so seemed fitting. We were seated outside quickly. Staff were nice and efficient throughout. I ordered the southern charm smash burger and my wife ordered the shrimp Po'boy. Both arrived quickly, and I must say mine was outstanding! Was heavy with beef burgers, the contrasting flavours worked well and I very much enjoyed the burger. The fries weren't bad either. The wife also very much enjoyed her Po'boy the baguette it came in was somewhat of a highlight. Very much enjoyed the food. Well done.

Food. Phenomenal. The flavors were insane. Had the shrimp and chorizo breakfast burrito for a quick bite on the way to the office. Service was awesome. Attentive without being overbearing. And as I waited, those who didn't know if been helped casually asked what they could do. And the vibe. The playlist was on point. Altogether, it was a great experience

Stopped here on 5/16/25 and ate inside. They looked very busy, but we were greeted and sat immediately. The waiter and other staff that checked on us were very kind and we had a great time! The food was really good and I was pleased with the options on the menu. The fried pickles were perfectly crispy and good! I can’t wait to go back next time I’m down in the area.

Date of visit: June 13, 2025 - 8:00 AM My wife and I visited for the first time this morning right when they opened, and we’re so glad we did! We were greeted and seated immediately by our friendly waiter, and the service from start to finish was absolutely awesome. We were excited to try the 13 bottomless mimosas — such a great deal! They have a smart policy where mimosas are served while you’re dining, plus one last glass after you finish. It’s a great way to keep things fair and the tables turning. For food, I ordered the Southern Plate with eggs, home fries, Conecuh sausage, and a biscuit — plus a side of pork belly. This meal was top-tier. The biscuit was fresh, soft, flaky, and perfect with a little honey. The pork belly? Cooked to perfection. 10/10 for me! My wife had the Classic Burrito but substituted it for a bowl instead. She loved it and even shared a few bites with me — the picante sauce tasted super fresh, and her dish also earned a solid 10/10. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and for dog lovers — they’ve thought of everything. There’s outdoor seating in the shade, water bowls out front, and even dog treats on the tables. From food to service to pricing, this place absolutely nailed it. We’ll definitely be back to try the lunch and dinner menu. Highly recommend. Stay awesome!
