I will only talk about the food as we door dashed it. We got an impossible burger and cheese fries and it was really good., the burger was huge and the there were lots of fries. The cheese sauce was good and there were lots of toppings. It was a very good quick supper~ read more

The ambiance of the establishment was nice, i liked the open window settings that allowed for the natural lighting. The service was pretty quick, even with the big group we had! I absolutely enjoyed my burger. The patties and bacon tasted fresh, the sauce was amazing! The tater tots were a hit for me!!! read more

This is a hidden gem. We did carry out this week from here for the first time. It was amazing! I got a breakfast burrito, my husband got a burger and my daughter got chicken tenders. Everything was great. We will definitely be going back. read more

Order DoorDash from here all the time, never gives my miso ranch and it's usually inedible if you order the tenders, if you're gonna order order in person stopped ordering DoorDash from here months ago because it was so bad Has a nice bar inside though, interior is nice. And so are the employees just terrible food. read more

10/11/2025: I ordered a hot dog, corn dog, coleslaw with a bottled water. There were about 15 people in the place, so it was NOT that busy. My hot dogs took 20 minutes to come out. I never got my bottled water, or my coleslaw. When I asked for my money back on th coleslaw (3.99) and bottled water ?(2.99) I was told that I they cannot do that. This place is not better than a common thief. The guy at the cash register also told me "You have a mouth and could have told me that you did not get your coleslaw" at which point I told him to go F$#! himself. Please go here if you want slow service, a very rude person to take your order, not give you your order and steal your money. read more

Dog Haus won't leave you in the dog house. Another Thursday and another day of killing time exploring nerd stores with Tim. This time we stopped by the Dog House for our afternoon feast based on Tim's suggestion. Previously a SmashBurger location, the layout is very much the same if you've been here before. I was expecting this place to be more of a restaurant but its more of a fast casual place. You order at the counter and they will bring it out to you. Tim and I needed a few minutes to look over the menu but once we placed our orders, it took maybe 10 minutes to get our food. I think the cashier was also the cook. Since Tim ordered first, I saw his burger come out (something garlic-y) and saw they used hawaiian rolls for buns. I was super hoping mine was on normal buns as the rolls were way too much bread for my liking... but alas... mine had the same 4 rolls for buns. No worries, The Hot Chick sandwich I ordered still looked pretty good and smelled tasty. Side note, the sandwiches don't come with a side so you have to pay extra for fries. There was a chunk of chicken hanging off the burger so I bit that first and instantly regretted skipping on a drink, thinking I could put down a burger and a fry before I could snag a tea or coffee while out and about. When they said it was a spicy chicken sandwich, they weren't kidding. After I let the burn subside, I got to the actual sandwich and I gotta say, it was pretty tasty. The sweet rolls helped mask the spicy side of the sandwich almost to the point of neutering the heat too much. As a spice head, this was a bit of a bummer for me. Tim devoured his garlic burger and cheesy tater tots like it was going out of style. They are his go-to and said it was just as good as every other time he's had it. There is a bar you can sit at if you want. But the casual nature of the place leads me to think that not a lot of people enjoy the adult beverage side of things. But again, maybe it being 3pm on a Thursday is different than what goes on at 6pm on the weekend. The rest of the interior was your standard fast casual restaurant in the 20th Century. There was a fun sign to take a photo with, which you can see above. My only real issue with this place aside is the price. For the fries and burger, it was about $16 or so after tax. It's not that the price was too high for the meal because you definitely get your money worth for the quality... I just wish there was a way to make it a combo so you aren't having to pay full price for each individual item. I would've gladly paid $15-17 for this meal as a combo. Individually, adding a drink would've easily pushed it to $20+ territory and that's just too much for a fast casual restaurant, in my opinion. read more

The food was awesome, the atmosphere was nice and there was plenty of TV's with sports on. I'll definitely be back.

Fast,delicious & tasty food after a ling day of driving. My husband had the Mutha Clucka & I had Sooo Cali Dog...

Came back to try the corn dog...wish it had more root beer flavor, but was still decent. We learned our lesson the last time, order sides to share...portions are huge. read more

Mhmmm was soooo delicious. I ordered a dog and the Nashville tots mhmmm. I'll be back boys

Cannot believe the negative reviews of this place, especially the middling two out of five on Yelp, this place rocked! Perhaps our timing, a casual relaxed Sunday lunch, is the way to do it here. We were greeted and welcomed into an open inviting atmosphere. The staff seemed a bit uncertain to make a peach smash so early in the day, but embraced When in The Fatherland mentality immediately glancing upon the draft chalkboard. And what a win it was, smooth bourbon kissing peaches and ripe for the sipping. Us three guys and toddler quickly went fully amazed at the first surprise, chicken tenders. Probably the best I have ever had! Perfectly cooked and juicy, the word succulent came up, possibly by me, and was agreed by the table to be the definitive description. Who knew the Germans where the one's two best in America at its own bird love affair? Two garage beers showed up, very easy to drink well balanced bitter and light notes. My friend's holy aioli Burger showed up, a double Smash Patty between Hawaiian rolls. Looking as right and wrong as Hawaiian pizza, it made us jealous. I wished for the other plates even as my kielbasa appeared lettuce wrapped, gluten seems to dislike me, but only for appearances did I eye other plates. I had added more toppings which the screen station made easy. So neat to have extra items for free, I always recommend restaurants aware of prices and valuing customer's happy to throw on more like pickled jalapenos and mushrooms without cost. That boos combination on my fancy hotdog was the bee's knees. Only the toddler's slider and half a big smash burger ended up in take home box. We were still talking about this beer garden hot spot later that night, will be back! read more

High quality. One of the best burger/hot dog joints in town. Pleasantly surprised! Check it out! Peoria needs more places like this!

I've been here A LOT of times in the last 2 1/2 years. My first couple of experiences were great. The foods a little overpriced but I truly don't mind paying for quality food and the servers were friendly and very attentive. Recently though, my experiences have just not been good. Once I went in and a foreign female bartender was so sarcastic and rude we had to call the manager while we were still dining because she rather chat with the kitchen crew then check on the only 2 people that were in the restaurant. Twice I've gone in and dealt with a snappy tone and attitude from a male bartender which was very off putting. He basically ignored us and walked off when we were saying something about it but I just figured it was late and busy so whatever I'll go at a different time or just order to go. And I was a waitress and worked in the service industry for a good while so I'm not even being harsh bc I get it but like he clearly just didn't care. Today I ordered door dash I spent $30 for them to not make my food correctly. And it was fairly simple. The order clearly said chipotle honey flavored beyond tenders I asked for '1 extra sauce please and thank you' and then they just sent me plain. No sauce whatsoever which was like ok are y'all tryna be funny bc I asked for an extra.... Idk I was so pissed when I opened the bag, just disappointing. They also did not look as pictured at all, instead of the thick tenders they looked like long flat chx nuggets which I'm pretty sure thats exactly what they sent me. If they ran out or they didn't have something I would think they would at least contact me. If that's not the case then they were just literally being careless because it's really not that hard. A shame because this place used to be a go to for me but now it's always something wrong. They have good cookies though read more

Food is great, love the vegan options. Have reached out numerous times about a $10 item I was charged for that no one on staff knew how to make and none of them knew how to refund it either. Good luck contacting customer service if you have any issues. They do not respond to their emails... read more

Service is fine, it seems like they are severely understaffed. And it's extremely confusing the way they have you order. There is no table service (sometimes??? We were told that only sometimes they don't do table service but sometimes they do??) and nothing is explained unless you ask very specific questions. Not really the waitress's fault, I got the impression things weren't really explained well to them either and they were doing their best with what they'd been given. The inside was quite loud for some reason, even though the music wasn't turned up that much and it wasn't like people were yelling. Sitting outside was an okay decision, but the flies were infuriating. Not the business's fault, it was just frustrating. The chicken sandwich I paid $12 (including tax+tip) for was smaller than my palm, and I have VERY small hands. Chicken was quite rubbery and didn't have much by way of flavor. They didn't have any fried chicken available so could only get grilled, which would have been fine had it been a well grilled piece and any substance to it at all. My boyfriend's sandwich was about 4x larger than mine and his was about $13-$14. He didn't even touch his because to be honest it looked extremely unappetizing. Very... beige. The sweet potato fries were very good, and the tater tots were okay. Nothing to write home about, especially for the amount of money we spent there. I would absolutely never buy food from here again, but the drinks were good. I got the Lady-In-Red wine cooler and it was delicious and a good size for the price. Long story short, food is zero stars, drinks are probably 4 stars. Service is 3 because I don't think it was really their fault. If you're going here to drink that's probably fine, just would highly recommend eating elsewhere. read more

We walked in, never being here before. Made our selections at the counter. Drinks are small yes but you can refill tea and soda so it's fine. They had an extensive liquor lineup. Didn't try those. My husband loved the Hangover burger. I had the Bad Mutha Clucker. I read reviews before we were served; our food was hot. Fries maybe not as much but the sandwiches were. Waited 15-20 mins for food. Overall I thought it was a good experience. read more

The "one and done" Dog Haus for me. Greeted by a young woman wearing one of those silky hair bonnets worn by African American women to sleep in. She had on a "belly top" with her pouchy, Lilly white, hadn't seen any sunlight since she was nine, pierced belly button hanging out over the counter taking the order. Two dogs, tater tots, and dinky drinks were $28. Dogs were like rubber chew toys for a dog. No knives to attempt to cut them. Had to "TRY" to use a fork to break them up into pieces to choke them down. Whilst trying to break them down into pieces, kitchen worker comes out into the dining area to verbally and physically accost Lilly white belly girl in the silky bonnet who's now sitting on her cell phone at the bar counter waiting for the next victim to arrive to show her lack of caring towards her work appearance and take their order and money. To whomever owns this disaster joint, it has potential but get rid of these workers who have no work ethic or care about your restaurant and either find a hot dog that isn't rubber and awful or you'll soon be another failed business and empty storefront in the Peoria landscape. I always give two chances but I'll need a new luncheon companion because I can't get this one to give a second chance to the Dog Haus. PS. Tator tots were great but you're not called the Tator Tot Spot. I wish you well in fixing this mess. read more

Went in...there were a few people in the dining room finishing up their food...so this shouldn't take long. Boom...I order my food, get my drink sit and watch tv for a bit, 10 minutes go by, 15 minutes go by, almost 20 minutes go by...no worries because I like my food HOT and FRESH. Food comes...looks great. I haven't had German food in a while so I'm excited! I bite into the dog...it's warm...not hot and chewy. Fries look great...they look super crispy on the outside...when you bite into them they were hard on the inside. I'm not even sure how that happens! Like how many times do you cook them? We're they just sitting around all day? They weren't even warm. I digress. I immediately go to the counter...there's about 4-5 employees laughing and talking in the back. After about 3 minutes of standing there watching them through the window...one person comes out. I tell them about the food and ask for a refund for the fries...they are completely inedible. They offer to re-make them (like what we're you doing the first time when you took 20 minutes to bring out my food)? I declined. I was told they had to call someone that wasn't at the location to give me a refund. No worries...I have a lukewarm sausage to eat lol. I finish that and my drink and head up to the counter. After an additional 15 minutes or so (which is in total almost an hour of my time at this point) they arrive and refund the money for my fries. Any place worth their salt would have refunded my entire order after serving me sub-par food and wasting 40 minutes of my personal time WAITING for subpar food and their employees. ‍ The staff I dealt with was friendly enough but overall the experience left a lot to be desired. The atmosphere is very cool and the drink selection is impressive. If the food was hot/fresh...I think it would actually be a great spot to come with a group. I may try another location in the future. read more

What a terrible experience on Father's Day! I think the employees had whatever music they wanted on. the girl at the counter said she could serve a can beer, but not a draft. That didn't even make sense! They serve their burgers on four Hawaiian little slider buns and it all falls apart when you try to eat it. Not a good experience at all!! Don't even waste your money here!! read more

I recently tried Dog Haus on Saturday with two of my friends. We ended up all getting the same, Das Brat, and I purchased a plain kielbasa with dipping sauce. All three of us were underwhelmed with the brat, thought it was Luke warm, and wished we had tried something different. The kielbasa was okay(I didn't care for the spice nor the dipping sauce I tried, but it first came out as a sandwich and needed to go back. While all three of us ordered in succession, my order took about 5 or so minutes longer(others who were behind me got their food first) -- I finally ask them to check on it and they brought out the brat and kielbasa sandwich. They had to take the kielbasa back to rectify the order, but I was able to keep the brat (mine was hardly warm). When they brought the kielbasa back it was very warm which made me happy. I enjoyed the sweet potato fries the best, but again, they were just slightly warm. The Dog Haus seemed a little pricey as one of my friends noted. She ordered Das Brat, onion rings and a drink and with tip it was $20.00. I ordered Das Brat, a kielbasa with dipping sauce, sweet potato fries and a drink for $25.00 and then left a tip of $3.00. I had heard very good reviews about this place and I WILL try it again! Hopefully it will go better than my first adventure. read more

We drove past the university location a couple weeks ago and decided to try it out tonight for carry out. I loved the group ordering option on their website, and honestly think more places would benefit from this. We ordered a nashville hot chicken sandwich, 2 orders of loaded tots with avocado, chicken tenders and cheese fries. My husband went to pick it up and said it was nice inside, but pretty empty. Our order wasn't ready, which was no big deal. When he arrived home with the food (a less than 10 minute drive) it was medium hot. We were pretty disappointed over all. The chicken tenders had 3 small pieces of chicken, the fries were regular and the avocado was missing. The Hawaiian rolls were really soggy as well, which is fine but, also felt like it was disintegrating while eating it. Over all for a total of 44.00 we won't be going back. Everything tasted fine, but the whole experience was less than average. read more

Never ever ever eat at DogHaus in Peoria. Don't do it. If this is how they choose to do business I hope they go under (and judging by the lack of it they seem to be well on their way anyway). They don't honor their own promotions. I played trivia there just barely a month ago and won a gift certificate. It expires in August 2024. I went in today to use it. It clearly has a field saying remaining amount, and the fine print clearly says it can be used over multiple visits, so if you don't use it all at once you can use the rest at a later time. I'm one guy. There's no way on earth I'm gonna eat $25 worth of food in one sitting even if it is a bit pricy. The clerks seemed puzzled as to what to do with it, made a call and then came back and said that if I didn't use it all then the rest was forfeit, something about they changed how they do gift certificates. I argued and they gave me the number of the general manager, Roberto. I called him and he doubled down. I pointed out the expiration date was August 2024, and it clearly says remaining amount. He sounded like I was being a jerk for even arguing it. He basically said Too bad, we changed it and said something to the effect of if it wasn't used by the end of the month it would just then be a piece of paper. He had zero interest in actually acknowledging the issue, I wouldn't be shocked if he just violated state law but at a minimum it was highly unethical and terrible business practices. I had some choice words after that but then hung up as he clearly had no intention of honoring the terms clearly written in the gift certificate they gave me barely a month ago. I complained to the better business bureau and I intend to also contact the Illinois Attorney General for deceptive practice. I've never in my life seen a business refuse to honor their own promotional stuff. Avoid DogHaus at all costs. This is extremely shady behavior. read more

Should it take 27 minutes (ordered 11:44 from receipt, handed at 12:12 from phone) to get 1 hot dog and 1 sausage? Should an entire table of burgers ordered about 5 minutes after me be quicker to prepare? The answer to both of these questions is no, as the bag that was finally handed me from the kitchen had been sitting for at least 10 minutes since I first saw it. It was dead. 1 table and 1 door dash guy both got food just after I ordered, no other orders in front of me at restaurant, and no other bags on shelf in kitchen. Never going back. Ridiculous.. (The cowboy dog and Fonz sausage were both ok, if on the cold side Phone "Phone" order #10, Aug 9, 2024 from ticket on bag from kitchen) read more

Great service and hot chic sandwich was good & not dry!! & spicy! Not wet like a traditional Nashville hot chicken but worked great! Everything is served on kings Hawaiian rolls which is genius! Hidden gem for a burger or sausage & a good draft beer! read more

Food and service and people are nice and good sour beers and I would recommend the Fonze burrito and cowboy and the corn dog and burgers

Absolutely ridiculous!!! This place needs to be shut down immediately!!! Bad service doesn't even begin to describe what the heck I just experienced. Over priced and the food was sub par. I'd been warned about this place and should have listened to the advice. Just know that this place is gaining a really bad reputation in Peoria and surrounding areas. You people should really shape up. You've been exposed and the right people have been notified. DO BETTER OR CLOSE YOUR BUSINESS read more

It was fresh and great quality meat. Never had such great burgers. Thanks for coming to peoria. Really nice place to sit out during warm months. read more

Crazy slow. Came for lunch but had to wait around a half hour for food which meant I had to eat quickly to make it back to work in time. Only come if you have the time. read more

I've been there a total of 3 times and twice now 2 members of our party vomit after eating their food.

Good beers, even better breakfast burritos! A place to watch sports, eat breakfast, brunch, or even lunch/dinner.

The customer service was so bad. It was my first time there, and just never got the opportunity to order. It was our first time there, we went to eat. Told the ladies it was our first time there, they said get a menu and sit down, so we did, and we were just never helped. I walked up to counter and waited, but the two ladies kept talking to each other and not even recognizing that I was there. Waited a while, and got no help at all and left. You really need managers on staff or something, because there's no reason two employees should be talking to each other for that long, I was like "let's wait." To my wife, but they never stopped talking So I'll never come back. read more

I stopped in at 1:22 a.m. (really!) recently and ordered a cheeseburger to go. I wasn't expecting anything fancy, but surely something a few steps above the usual fast food places. Well, guess what? That cheeseburger was delicious and far above the usual fast food choices! It was a messy meal that I should have eaten at a table, maybe with the help of a knife and fork. It was on thick slices of bread, that along with the secret sauce made the sandwich unique. I will return soon for another item on their menu, if not for another cheeseburger. Top notch! read more

Came in there for the first time tonight with my wife and son.
