Dogtown is the Northeast cheat code for satisfying a serious In-N-Out craving. If you know, you know. My go-to order is the Dogtown Burger with two patties, extra cheese, no lettuce or tomato, grilled onions cooked well done, and plenty of Dogtown spread. Pair that with well-done fries topped with two slices of American cheese, spread, and grilled onions, and you've basically unlocked a full California-style burger experience without leaving the East Coast. The Bethel location really nails the vibe. They grill the patties in mustard and serve fresh, snappy green chilies on the side, just like the classic West Coast spots. It's the little details that make it feel authentic. Milford is excellent too, but Bethel gets the edge for those extra touches. The meat is consistently fresh, the burgers are messy in the best way possible, and the fries hit that perfect balance of crispy, cheesy, and indulgent. If you're chasing that Animal Style flavor in the Northeast, Dogtown absolutely delivers. read more

Food was fantastic. Prices are unbelievable reasonable. Everything is under $10 which you see literally nowhere anymore and the food is real. The cheese sauce is homemade. The relish is clearly homemade, and the hotdog are perfectly sized and done. read more

Found this as I was searching along our route home to Boston- quick on/off the 95. Staff was so nice and we ordered tots, a plain, a works, and then a bunless for our doggos. Super tasty and worth the little detour! I want to go back for their chili dog! Make the trip! read more

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. read more

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). read more

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. read more

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!) read more

2nd time here for a couple of dogs. Fast service, just a little closet of a place but pleasant enough inside & out IMHO, Dogtown Could be a 5 star place ( for hot dogs ) if Hummel's Brother's natural casing franks were provisioned instead of Rosol's - the New Britian competition. Hummel's are maybe just slightly heftier & maybe more flavorful. But again, just mho. Love their custom set ups like the Notorious with spicy mustard, spicy relish, kraut, spicy onion sauce. Really really good. read more

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. read more

Dogtown - Hot Dogs Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Dogtown - Grilled chicken sandwich and one of the rare days I opted for fries rather than Tater Tots. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

I was in the area for business and decided to try this place based upon the reviews. It was underwhelming. I ordered a Mongo Dog, onion rings, and a drink. With tip, it came to $18 and change. The food was subpar at best. My hot dog was extremely dry and grainy (definitely not an all beef dog). Even cut in half and grilled (probably too long since it was VERY DRY), the dog itself was very small in size and hard to find under all the toppings. The chili tasted like low quality canned Hormel, but I did enjoy the coleslaw. As for the onion rings, I took one bite and promptly threw the rest in the trash. They don't even make an effort to pass these off as handcut. These are the kind of onion rings you can buy at Restaurant Depot in a bulk bag. They are 100% uniform rings of dough with a small sliver of onion inside. They like warmed Funyuns and were probably the worst onion rings I've ever paid for. The location has a few picnic tables outside, but they fill up on busy days, so this might be a better take out place. The inside is small and cramped with a few counter seats near the window. Overall, I won't go back. I travel frequently for work and have had hot dogs all over the US. Dogtown just doesn't rate for me. Honestly, I had a better and cheaper hot dog at the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta- $2 for a Vienna Beef dog on a steamed bum. ETA: the business owner just left a comment on my review. I'm not sure who Brian is, or why he was waiting on this review, but it seems he has very thin skin. The restaurant business is fickle, and it's impossible to please everyone. It seems he doesn't take kindly to any sort of criticism. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Never thought onion rings and a hotdog could be so good! Service was fairly fast i thought i would have to wait due to the amount of people but was impressed with how quick i got my food.

Sooo, I'm a big hot dog fan.. but I'm also a bit particular. I guess I'm just not a split dog type. I guess it's a texture thing for me. So that being said, I will say this place is very clean, the staff was welcoming and easy to chit chat with. They were helpful w the people ahead of me that weren't sure what to order. The dog is a decent quality dog, the bun is a classic soft dog bun. I got the works on mine. If you are a purest then this dog is for you. This a classic moist kraut, diced white onions, traditional relish and mustard. I do wish they had more toppings, I was in the mood for a Chicago dog. But I understand you can't carry every topping. It may not be my kind of place, but this is a well run, clean friendly hot dog stand that takes their craft seriously and appreciates customers. If you're anywhere in the area (they are just a small skip from I-95) give them a try. read more

Consistently fantastic. We've been coming for over a year now, every so often (sometimes a weekend stop for lunch after running errands in the area) , and have not ever said, "wasn't good this time" ... They've never gotten the order wrong, it's always the same, and always really good! I'm a really picky eater, and one of the things that drives me crazy is finding a place with a meal that I love but the next visit it's not cooked the same etc.. My husband loves the burgers, my son loves the hotdogs, there's something all of us enjoy. Thanks, Dogtown, for the great food! Another consistent thing here? The staff! They're friendly, it's always a good experience when calling in an order: we never hang up the phone with an eye roll or a deep breath lol. read more

Used to frequent here often but haven't much since I became a vegetarian! Would love either a veggie burger or dog!

The burger was pretty good. Hot dog was undercooked, didn't have that snap. Fries were your generic frozen crinkle cut...you should really make fresh fries as most top dog places elsewhere do. Will not be back. read more

Great food here, and the tater tots are top notch. The zephyr dog is so good! There's little to no seating inside but the outdoor seating is cute with umbrellas. Unfortunately, it's on the side of a busy road and comes off as a truck stop but it delicious and not expensive at all. read more

Great food and great service! We were traveling through town and looking for a local spot to eat. My wife found this spot and I'm glad she did! They offer unique takes on traditional food. My youngest kids got the hot dog with ketchup and the cheeseburger with ketchup only (I'm working on them, but they still have kids taste buds). I got the devil dog. It was amazing! A lot of loaded hot dog places put too many toppings on the hot dog, so they are too difficult to eat. Dogtown has just the right amount of toppings so it wasn't a mess to eat & still had great flavor. The service was amazing! All the staff was great. They had great suggestions as to menu items. We were very glad we found this spot! read more

LEGIT. This spot used to be some other hot dog stand, and some other thing before that, and I never saw a customer in the lot. I drove past here a few times and parking lot had multiple cars. Nice renovation job. Dogtown is a skateboarding themed hot dog stand. The bench out front is made of old decks. Inside, wild. If you've ever had an interest in skating, or punk rock, or both, you'll feel at home. The inner door is covered with the stickers we used to put on our boards - Santa Cruz, Misfits, etc. To lend come credibility, a musician came in while I was there to order. Not sure who he was but his band is playing with Alkaline Trio in California soon. Creative menu. Foxon Park sodas. tried a Zephyr dog (chili, American cheese, grilled onions, hot pepper relish) and a Duster dog (lettuce, tomato, pickle spear, hot pepper relish, mustard, celery salt) and some fries. The hot dogs were both pretty damn good. As good as any other place I've ever been. They are MESSY- don't try eating these in the car. Don't eat them while wearing anything white. The fries were OK, shoestring type that didn't seem home made. They also have tater tots, and they were out. They must be good, everyone that ordered after me asked for the tots, followed by an "AWWw mannn". Their hours are limited though - was going to head back today, but they were already closed before 5 PM. The only thing I didn't care for was the extra charge of 3.75% to use a card for payment. read more

A very lucky dog if you get a chance to visit this joint. It's one of those built out of love business and you'll know as soon as you walk in. These guys take the simple hamburger and hot dog and super it up with excellent toppings and creative combinations. They are super fast but handing out excellent items. I found the hot dog to be top quality and was unable to compare it to any store bought wieners. The burger roll was exceptional and held up to the ample and tasty toppings. Eager to oblige, the burger chefs customized my krusty burger with onions and their special sauce. Just get in the car or skateboard over and get your dog on!!! read more

A solid dog eating experience. Quite good I must say considering I don't eat Hot Dogs often. I had the Yuppie Dog W/ bacon, sauerkraut, raw onion, & sweet cucumber relish. A GREAT DOG! I liked that the roll was toasted as it helped hold together all the ingredients well in the bun. 4 large wooden tables/ benches outside to enjoy your meal. Overall a nice visit. read more

Didn't think I would ever say this but there's a new king of hot dogs in CT. DOGTOWN in Milford is not to be missed. Friendly service with incredible food. I tried their Zephyr Dog and totally enjoyed the kick from their hot relish. Way better than that other place in CT that claims to have the best relish. The chili, grilled peppers & onions and cheese were in perfect ratio and the chili has a little kick too. The p&rc were flavorful, even the bun was very good. On to the tots, specifically the Totchos, wish I had more thumbs because these deserve lots more than two thumbs up! Crispy, tasty, gooey greatness is the only way I can describe them. Can't wait to get back here. read more
