The Dog House

Simple and so tasty. Reasonable prices and food came out quick.
Excellent burger and fries at high quality.
Amd love the self-serve condiments, etc.

You know you’re at a good joint when the owner is joyfully roaming around enjoying the customers, both local and those on vacation. The steak sandwich and bottomless is phenomenal! Tourist locations are supposed to all be stuffy right? Wrong

After driving by this place many times, Boyfriend and I finally tried it last weekend, and are thinking of going back this weekend too. I saw another review that said this is a great little local spot, not a tourist spot, and I completely agree. I mean, who comes to Bodega Bay for burgers, hot dogs, and fries instead of clam chowder? The spot is tucked away near Fishetarian, a realtor's office, and right next door to a small espresso/ice cream place. There are a few tables outside, a few small tables inside, and a small counter you can eat at that faces the window. They have lots of old-timey hot dog themed signs on the walls.
Everything on the menu comes with UNLIMITED hand cut fries, which was the first reason I wanted to come here. Boyfriend and I both ordered the half-pound burger and I was going to order a side of onion rings, but the nice girl at the counter suggested swapping one of our sides for onion rings, since the fries are unlimited anyway. The burgers come on hot dog buns, so they shape the hamburger patties to match. Boyfriend and I agree that it is very clever and a good way to stand out. When our orders were ready, we proceeded to the condiments counter. The burgers (and presumably the hot dogs too) come with just meat in a bun, and you add the toppings yourself. They have lots of sauces: ketchup, mustard, deli mustard, thousand island, ranch, and probably a few others I've forgotten. They also have tomatoes, lettuce, sliced onions, pickles. I love the idea of adding the toppings yourself so you can get exactly what you want.
The burgers were delicious and perfectly cooked. A little bit pink in the middle and a little bit drippy when you bite into it. The onion rings probably came from a frozen bag but those were really good too. Crispy and with a smooth outside. The fries were yummy and thick, a little bit squishy like most hand cut fries are. We rationed the onion rings but went hard on the fries, finishing off a second basket before we left. Boyfriend was impressed that, when we asked for foil to cover our leftovers, they gave us heavy duty foil. Our meal came out to about $30. We will definitely be going here on a regular basis.

Great burgers and fries.

This spot has great burgers and all you can eat fries. It's owned and operated by locals, and often times frequented by locals as well.

You order the burger and it's cooked fresh, and you put on the fixings. The staff is friendly.

The price is slightly high, but in the context of the surrounding area it's actually pretty good, especially considering you get all you can eat fries. $25 or so for a fill meal for two is a good deal out there.

It's not particularly healthy food, but it's exactly what you'd expect from a burger joint.

The best burgers and fries for many many miles around. The ultimate American experience on 4th of July.
A true Americana. Generous and very hospitable owners. Unlimited fries. 😀 Made Son Happy.

We love supporting small businesses. Their food hit the spot! We both had a burger and fries, and they were amazing!

What a great burger joint! Hand made patty on a hoagie roll and my son's chicken looked hand dipped as well. Hand cut fries, all you can eat, are excellent. Super friendly staff as well. Will be our go to stop from now on as we pass through Bodega on the way to Manchester.

They have the best hot dogs here !! A bit Expensive but delicious! My grandchildren and I went here at the end of a spontaneous trip to Bodega Bay. They also had ice cream which they said was delicious!! And who could complain with the view ! It’s a hidden gem!

Pretty amazing cheeseburger and fries. The burgers are actually more rectangular than round and served on a hot dog bun. But boy are they good. The patties are made to order, too. And the fries, so darn good. They are hand cut, similar to In n Out but thicker. There's also a toppings bar so you can add what you want. I got my kid a hot dog, it was pretty good too but I'm more of a burger person. Highly recommend it. Oh and there's a nice view too!

Friendly staff and great food. We walked in at 6:03pm and they served us without any questions even though they closed at 6pm.

I love this place! Great hot dogs, burgers, fries, and more! Definitely worth a stop while in Bodega Bay, they have all you can eat fries! The ladies who run the counter are super friendly and know what they're doing. Very clean place, lots of selection for food and drink. They have indoor and outdoor patio seating with a view of the Bay! Shannon and her family are one of the best places in Bodega Bay!

Nice staff, good food

We got here at just before 6:00 and thought they were closed when one of the employees came out and waved us down to let us know they were still open. Everyone was super friendly and smiles, even though they were closing in less than 5 minutes. The food was good, no complaints at all. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a quick bite to eat.

I had the polish dog and added sauerkraut and cheese to it. You get to add your own condiments from the relish bar. Fries come with your dog and are fresh and delicious. Highly recommend.

Had lunch here yesterday and it was perfect! Love the sub burgers. Its just a great place.

Great beverage and food....quick access and very friendly ownwers...loved the experience.

Drove by this place on our quest to look for spots from "The Bird" movie. Had to stop and check it out, great views, I know no pictures but I left my phone in the car. Little seating area outside that overlooked the bay, friendly staff. Awesome fries, and superb polish dog.

This is our favorite place to go with our kids when we're out of the coast. We love that it's also next door to an ice cream shop!

My ALL-TIME favorite french fries. Bottomless, unlimited, all you can eat for $5? Yes yes and more yes!

What A Delight 😊 Old fashion, great pricing! Try all burgers there (Mouth watering meat!) & a hot chocolate to go 🤙 Perfect for the weather and the ladies working 🥰 make it all more the experience!! Thank you ladies ☺
