    A co-worker recommended Dogtown, and I am glad she did! If you have been following my trek around the state in search of outdoor roadside grills, you know this is my favorite type of restaurant. I got a 1/4 pound burger, added bacon, got the large fries, and a bottled beverage. It all came to $18 and was delicious! The service was quick and friendly, the food hot and plentiful, and the price about average for this meal.

    Dog town is one of my favorite spots! My dad put me onto it earlier this year. They have amazing chicken sandwiches, hotdogs, and fries! The only complaint I have (which is kind of hard to control) is that the bees always bother me when I'm sitting outside. They prepare the food quickly and I love the outdoor seating (aside from the bees lol).

    Stopped here on our road trip to Maine. Needed a quick bite to eat but we didn't want to grab any "fast food". Found this little hidden gem. Definitely a grab and go type of place, no seating inside. The hot dogs were delicious. I wish they were a little bigger for the price. The toppings are delicious and juicy, which caused the bun to get a little soggy. (That's my reason for 4/5 stars) quick service as to be expected, since it's take out only. All in all, yummy place that I would eat at again if I were ever in Connecticut.

    I got 2 burgers & onion rings. The burgers were pretty good. Dogtown burger seemed like Big Mac made fresh. Krusty was seasoned better, in my opinion. I was looking forward to getting some skinny fries, but it seems like that's not on the menu any more. Onion rings were good, but seemed a bit pricey for the portion. Service was great. I might come back for some chicken burgers or hotdogs! (There are about 4 tables outside & some baby high chairs!)

    A very small place to grab food with limited seating. I decided to get the dogtown burger and a plain hotdog. The bun for the hotdog was crisp and solid overall. The burger was thick and juicy, with solid amount of toppings. A great grab and go place and fair prices. I would not mind going back and maybe also grabbing those tater tots.

    I'm pretty sure it was Milford's Elizabeth S that first told me about Dogtown, although many sing Dogtown's praises. I enjoyed everything about my first visit. Dogtown uses Rosol's hot dogs from New Britain, CT, like some of my other favorite places. The dogs are standard-size and fit the bun. I am not an over-sized dog person. At all. They split and grill them. The buns were also grilled. The buns and dogs were very well executed. I loved the Duster Dog, which shares some toppings (lettuce, tomato, celery salt, relish, mustard, pickle spear) with a Chicago Style Dog, but Duster still has its own vibe. Love all these toppings. I also loved the Mongo Dog with chili, bacon and slaw. Something about slaw, with its crisp texture and juiciness, on top of chili really works for me. The thin onion rings are my favorite style. They were very tasty and had good texture. I liked the skateboard vibe, which fits the Dogtown name. The outside area was cool and service was friendly. Dogtown skyrocketed on to my Best Hot Dogs in CT list. It beats one that I often see on lists as CT's best, and is on par with my other two favorite places.

    Yummm! Finally made it to this spot! I'm excited about their extended Saturday hours! They are close to my Dad's but are now open for dinner on Saturdays! They were super friendly and our food was quick and fresh. It was quiet, possibly because of the heat but most days it's hopping there! My dad got the regular dog with the works and said it was super tasty! He ordered a side of fries, which I insisted on trying and was glad I did. Crispy and fresh! I got the CBR 1000 Chicken Sandwich and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors melded perfectly in every bite, and the chicken was fresh and delicious. The onion rings I got on the side were definitely the star though! I couldn't stop eating them! Yumm! I will definitely be back!

    Always a good time when you come by Dogtown in Milford. Came here looking for some fresh drive in food and was not disappointed. I got the Zephyr Hot Dog which had some hot pepper relish, raw onion, chili and American cheese, was perfect. My wife for the Basic Chick chicken sandwich and we split an order of fries. Chicken sandwich looked very good, good size piece of chicken and kudos for the wrapping, individual wrapping of a chicken sandwich always elevates it in my eyes. The fries looked hand-cut, we couldn't get enough of them, they remind me of McDonalds fries, always a good thing. They have a nice side patio are for seating on a nice day, otherwise it becomes a take out place during the cooler seasons. If you're looking for some home cooked fast food offering delicious bites, DogTown is where it's at, can't wait to go back to try out some other items on the menu.

    Grilled chicken sandwich and one of the rare days I opted for fries rather than Tater Tots.

    Came here a few times when it first opened. Thought it was very good but like any restaurant it's all about consistency. I now eat here once per week. The tater tots are in point every time. I rotate through their chicken sandwich options and get it grilled every time. Again, it's about consistency and I'm not sure you're gonna find a burger shack, hot dog stand, deli, insert whatever New England fast food establishment you want.....you're not gonna find the quality and consistency that you're gonna find at Dogtown. Bonus points for the smiling faces behind the counter.

    Frozen rings of dissapointment

    I had the Danger which tasted good, but you had to search for the hot dog amongst the toppings because as the lady from Wendy's once said - where's the beef? On top of that, I was here for the thin onion rings which prior posters had shown pictures of. Apparently they changed the menu 6 months ago to frozen onion rings with no character or flavor instead of what they used to serve which looked like Ted's from Buffalo. Sadly, they didn't care as the pictures on Yelp were not from them (they are correct) and therefore they take no responsibility for the mass disappointment. That was before the added insult of $18 for inedible onion rings, a 12oz can of Diet Coke, and a very small hot dog. The plus - the grilled onions and peppers were good.

    Dogtown is a great spot for burgers and hot dogs. Although its a smaller space and intimate setting, there is outdoor seating. They were quick to get our order ready and it was delicious. We've visited Dogtown multiple times and enjoy it everytime!

    It's a small hole in the wall hot dog place without formal seating options indoors (just a small space where it is barstool seating), but they have seating outdoors. No bathrooms for customers so bring some wipes for your hands and use the restroom before and after. They provide clear plastic covered utensils, condiments and napkins. Only opened from 11- 4AM in the fall, I'm not sure about the other seasons. Inside there's a large menu on top of where the cashier is located. From the menu I ordered Notorious D.O.G, Danger Dog, and the Totchos. I didn't particularly like the Notorious D.O.G. as it was over powered by red onion sauce. The Danger Dog tasted good because of the pico de gallo. However, I would've preferred to have gotten the Freestyle one where you put your own spin to it. There are other options as well. If you want more selection there are sandwiches, burgers, a kid's section, and sides. There's even dessert too.

    With a peanut allergy, do you use peanut oil to grill or fry? Reviews read great, want to come try!

    We do not use peanut oil to grill or fry anything. We do use peanut butter sauce in one of our shakes but the shake cups and spindles are cleaned between each use. (But for caution sake, maybe just avoid a milkshake.) Hope to see you soon!

    Are you able to sit and eat inside or is it just take out orders?

    There are four stools inside and a couple of tables outside for when it's nicer weather.

    Do you offer any vegetarian 🍔 or sandwiches 🥪 like mushrooms burger?

    Not yet, however we are working on a veggie burger option for our new spring 2019 menu, please check back!

    Anyone know why the evening hours have been irregular lately? Went twice when they were supposed to be open and it was lights out.

    Hi Dave! We switched to our winter hours (tues-sat 11a-6p/ sun 12p-4p). The google/ yelp pages… Read more

    Still great in 2025!…read more Had the jamming burger specials with the yummy jammified onions and they satisfied the burger craving without fault. The pretzel bites were also salty and bready nuggets of deliciousness. Service was great and friendly! It doesn't have a particularly great look outside or inside (mostly a bar with some tall tables and several large screen tvs) but they are consistently good with their flavorful offerings, which is what matters most.

    We arrived around 12:30 pm. Alex was off and Kahl was behind the bar. She immediately greeted us…read moreand took our drink order. The restaurant wasn't busy so we sat at the bar to watch football. We ordered wings and the special tacos of the day which were eye of the round tomatillo tacos with pico. We get the buffalo sauce and cajun dry rub on our wings which were 5 stars. The tacos not so much. For $15 the three tacos were tiny, 3 pieces of eye of the round on two tacos, 4 on third. The pico was tomatoes with a tiny piece of jalapeno and onion in water, weird. The tomatillo sauce was ok, but not the best. We LOVE this place but these tacos missed the mark. Service was good. At the end, Lauren took over. She was friendly and introduced herself to us and others at the bar. She mostly cashed us out, but we liked her friendliness. Go with confidence, it's a great local bar/restaurant with good, friendly service.
