Been here once, my friends love the place and go all the time, I was ok with it, the food tasted fine, but I think when I think “chili” dogs I think (as new mexicans put it) Texas Chili, not a hybrid mix (or at least that is what I could only figure out it was). If you like Red Chile on your Dogs, you’re set, great place to eat.

[...] make up for the footlong chili dogs and strawberry milkshakes we had at Albuquerque’s famous Dog House. The Dog House does two things right: It makes the best chili dogs on the Mother Road, and it uses [...]

Mmmm. The Dog House. Bring Cash. I love the chile cheese dogs and chile cheese fries.
Just a note, it is a little weird with the service. It is very small inside and I noticed people sitting in their cars, but wasn’t sure how to order. I walked up to the window but it isn’t actually an order window. Finally, I figured out that you just sit in your car and a “car hop” comes out and takes your order. Maybe a sign explaining that would be nice, but I guess they aren’t hurting for customers. Anyway, it’s worth it, the food is great and the carhop is always very friendly.

Love the Dog House…it was one of the first spots my wife took me to back in 1998, on my first trip out to New Mexico. When we lived in Florida we always made a pilgramage back to the DH for a foot-long chile cheese and fries…Now that we are living back here in ABQ we still make regular stops to sit inside and soak up the atmosphere of an Albuqueruqe gone-by. My wife also has s special connection with the DH…her uncle met her aunt at the DH back when her aunt was a 15 year-old carhop there!…almost 40 years ago!!

Dittos and Bon Apetite! Been eating here since ‘69. I recommend that Newbies 1)order a small Orange drink accompaniment (current year is fine) instead of a cola which tends to clash with the shilay taste; 2)order French Fries Petite so that one can use ketchup to cut the shilay heat, 3)eat inside till one learns to hold the bun so one does not drip shilay all over one’s fingers and lap; otherwise request a handful of napkins. Actually, I dine inside all the time as it is fine…it is vintage, but clean Hole-in-the-Wall ambiance. The Suit/ties and Pearls/hose crowd from downtown usually frees up seats after 1. The DH is on old ROUTE66 and about 1-2 miles from the Aquarium, Botanical Gardens, Old Town, Museums, the Zoo and I-40. Cheers!!
