The Dog House

Friendly staff and unique character in this small old diner. Food came out within 1-2 minutes and the staff came around multiple times to check on me. Couldn't decide between a burger or dog so got both and they were both were delicious. Brings me back to visiting small diners as a child. Would recommend.

This historic luncheonette has been serving delicious food for over 50 years, and the staff feels like family. I loved the all-the-way hot dog with onions, mustard, and chili, along with their bologna cheese sandwich and cheeseburger--everything was fantastic! The place is really nice and cozy.

Okay okay okay I get the hype now. The dog house is everything and more. First, I love that it hasn't been updated. I love the booths, the menu, the way it still looks like an old school diner. Second, the food is delicious. I love a good hot dog and this one was no different. I got mine with a side of pickles because why not. I hear the fries are some of the best!

Eating at The Dog House was pretty nostalgic for me. It reminded me of eating at the drugstore counter in my hometown when I was a little girl. It has a real small town look and feel. The food came out good and hot in like 5 minutes and the service was good as well.

I have lived in High Point since 2006 and it was just NOW that I stopped into a High Point institution, The Dog House! It's been in business for over 50 years. A small lunch spot with limited seating, The Dog House delivers a quick and tasty meal. You have 3 ways to order your dogs, LOADED - mustard, slaw, chili and onion, SLAW - mustard, slaw and chili, or ALL THE WAY - mustard, onion and chili. Don't get me wrong, there are PLENTY of OTHER options at The Dog House, but ya gotta have some dogs on the first visit! Service was speedy even during the launch rush. Don't expect a fancy plate or anything, you will have those dogs brought to you on a piece of deli paper. The staff is friendly and ready to serve.

A High Point institution in the truest sense of the word. If you grew up in High Point, you have been here for hot dogs and burgers. Periodt. Nowadays, if you even know where this place is (despite being located on the busiest street in town) you probably also grew up here, just because of how rapidly the area around it is changing. I hope it continues to be there, because it's as much a part of High Point history as anything.All that said, it had been many years since I stopped in here for a hot dog. Lately I have been on a kick to go back and revisit all the places that I have some nostalgia for, to see how they are holding up. There has been better than I remember, worse, and then places like this that haven't changed at all (besides the prices, of course).You can still count on this place for a no frills, classic, speedy hot dog experience. Be REALLY careful when you order, as they have a different definition of "All the Way" than the entire rest of the state of North Carolina. If you want slaw with your chili, onions, mustard.... you actually want LOADED. This is confusing honestly, as I have literally never been anywhere in this state where All the Way didn't mean the same thing. The hot dog itself is good, tastes the same as I remember. Quality frank with a thin but OK chili and good slaw. The fries are also the kind I really enjoy, crispy, a slight battering on the outside. Things could get kicked up a notch with a buttered and grilled bun, which once you go that direction, it's hard to enjoy a plain bread hot dog again (Thanks PB's and Dairi-O). All this happens fast, and reasonably priced. Overall, it doesn't crack my top 5 hot dogs in the Triad, but if I were working near downtown, I certainly would consider it a regular spot for speed and convenience. Cheers to the Dog House!

This is certainly an out of the way place in the ritzy part of High Point (as judged by the buildings and businesses in the vicinity). You'll need your GPS or will drive right by it. There's street parking on Saturdays but most use the lot behind the building. The front entrance is mainly for take out but after that it's a small straight place with counter service on one side and booths on the other. You can see immediately why they don't want solo diners taking up precious booth space. The staff is friendly and the noise level what you'd expect. I did like the varied options they had for toppings and went with the beef dogs: one all the way (mustard chili onions) and the other with grilled sauerkraut. No forks in sight, all finger food. Both dogs were delicious though the chili wasn't anything that would make you go yummmm. And I like a good decadent chili dog. The fries were hot and crispy. And they do a good job of refilling your drink. Food wise, I'd go back but price wise, with the up charge for the beef dog and extra for the kraut, the price was steeper than what I'd consider reasonable for a hot dog meal ($15). Add in tip and that rivals many restaurant meals elsewhere. But then, I've never understood how hot dogs can be almost as expensive as hamburgers when you go out. Anyway, it was on my places to try. Done and now on to others.

My favorite types of restaurants are little mom and pop hole in the wall places that are generations old. I had never heard of this place and a friend took me there. We ordered our food and I know it was less than 10 minutes, maybe closer to 5 when they brought it to us. I had the hot dog and cheeseburger and was thoroughly impressed. The hot dog was really good and really cooked well. The cheeseburger was one of the best burgers I may have ever hadin this area. I can't wait to go back. The waitress was super nice and said she had been there for over 30 years. I had never been so she didn't know me but my friend used to go and she remembered her. I thought the level of service was very impressive, and the food was just really super good.

Another good one! The Dog House on North Main in High Point has been serving up hot dogs and burgers from the same location since 1942! Chili and slaw are housemade daily. Buns are fresh and soft. Slaw has touch of sweetness. Onions are fresh and crunchy. Chili could be meatier, but has good flavor. A LOADED dog has slaw, mustard, chili, and onions. They're a bit messy. As I have said about others, a toasted bun would mage this good dog great. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. It can be a little hard to spot (small sign), but your GPS will take you right there. They say the burgers are great, too.
