I take hot dogs seriously. Like "I celebrated National Hot Dog Day as an actual holiday" seriously. So trust me when I say Haute Dogs is worth a visit. One honest note for my fellow purists: the buns are hearty, so if you're a classic bun person like me, the ratio leans a little bread-forward. Personal preference. But here's the tip that makes all the difference: order the half smoke. Bigger, beefier, and it fills that bun the way nature intended. That's the move. And if you love blue cheese, the buffalo tots are dangerously snackable. read more

Haute Dogs - Hot Dogs Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Finally a place that serves the popular state base hot dogs in one. It's a small place but they are efficient. Typically, there's one person handling the foh. So someone can take your order or you order through the kiosk. Which by the way, there's only one. If you're dining, the meals come out fast and hot. I had the chi dog. Although didn't feel like Chicago, it was still close enough! The dig wasn't too salty and it was lean. With fries and a non-fountain soda, it sure filled me up. The place gave me an early 90s dine. It was hip, chill and nostalgic kind of way. Give it a try. read more

My husband and I generally enjoyed Haute Dogs! As a gluten free person, I appreciated that they had GF buns :) We thought the food was great. However, I'm not sure how to describe it...but for the prices, perhaps it was slightly underwhelming? Nothing bad to say...but perhaps bigger portion sizes would have helped, or maybe this is just how hot dogs are?! Our service was okay- I was asking about other gluten free options on the menu and the person who was answering me was very "sassy." Not sure if he was having a bad day, but he was essentially using an interesting tone and not really looking me in the eye when talking... I do prefer kindness I guess! Overall if we were back in the area we'd consider stopping by again as we did enjoy the hot dogs. Check it out and see what you think! read more

Solid beef dog with lots of choices of toppings. The beef dogs have a nice snap and the toppings on the banh mi dog were fresh! The bun was also a great balance. We had the cheesesteak tots and the topping were a little on the cold side so I'd say I'd probably pass on those the next time. The onion rings were thick with a nice crunchy breading. There were some tables to sit inside or outside. The smash burger was juicy and filling. Overall good spot to get your hot dog or smash burger craving filled. Service was decent too read more

Quick service and it was easy to order. I wouldn't say it's overwhelming, but there is an abundance of options that you can of course make modifications of. I opted for the veggie dogs; though good, I wouldn't say it gives the same effect of an actual hot dog. Honestly the toppings alone in the buns would've been great! Clean inside with a few tables to sit at. read more

This place is just...weird. Extremely dim lighting, barely anyone inside the store, seating is oddly ample but empty. Huge table booths, none are ever filled. I went in once out of curiosity, ordered 2 dogs and 2 drinks (for me and my child). There was one other group of maybe 3 ppl waiting ahead of us. Long story short, we stood around for a good 20 minutes before out food came out. Food quality was barely above 7-11 caliber. Nobody there looked happy (neither staff nor clients). Place feels like something out of a David Lynch movie. Maybe that's what they're going for. Not for me, never again. read more

Simply put the food was exquisitely prepared The woman who prepared it delivered it right to my table The selection of hotdog and hamburger items is very extensive and quite artistically presented I would recommend this place to anyone I guess the only tractor for me is the location. It seems to be in an awkward place in a suburban neighborhood in Arlington but nothing's perfect. And this is from somebody who's not likely to buy, dressed up hot dogs I explicitly like the idea that I can actually buy the hotdog packaged ready to go quite savory very well flavored by themselves read more

Where I come from, handhelds are elevated to craft status, and the hot dog is iconic, along with pizza and the hero sandwich. Don't throw your hat in if you're not ready to be judged harshly. Haute Dogs got it right read more

Burger review. Happy to finally eat at this place, as it had been on my 'radar' for a while due to its proximity to Mom's house. Unfortunately, it left more to be desired. I didn't try the hot dogs, but I don't think I would at those prices. I'll say first off, that the woman who took my order was very nice. She might've been doubling on kitchen duties that day as well. Empty dining room, a few to-go orders. The smash burger was kind of wet; the dominant taste was that filmy oily slime you get when something is too greasy. The ingredients do seem 'fresh', but perhaps there is too-far-in-advance prep work. Bacon and jalapeños not very discernible. Onion rings were good, and seem to be made in-house with full onion slices of varying sizes. The house sauce is mayo-based, but not super interesting, imo. To compare it to Five Guys would be unfair, but I personally like the FG on Broad Street a lot more. Next time I'm in town, I will continue my search. read more

Love their dogs! I was initially disappointed when they closed their S Arlington location but kept an eye out for their "re-opening". Thankfully they did and I had to go. I love how there is a wide selection to choose from and you can tailor orders to suit your needs. Of the many things I've tried I have never been disappointed. All the food is great. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is very comfortable. There's free parking which makes visits easy. Interestingly I decided to try their bacon jam smash burger, although I don't care for blue cheese. I still enjoyed it but need to remember to change out the cheese. My wife had the Chicago, and we rounded things out with rings and garlic Parmesan fries. IMHO, the garlic Parmesan fries are a MUST! Sooo good. read more

The staff does not greet customers nor say thank you. I've been to this location twice as well as purchased from their food truck at local events. They've consistently just not been friendly which is aggravating. Isn't grass-fed food supposed to make you feel good? The food is over priced and underwhelming. Protein to meat ratio is off - thin wieners and very thin hamburgers lost in a sea of bread and bun. Like someone else said - go to 7-Eleven. It's more satisfying and people will act like humans there ands talk to you. read more

The Old Town location has a special place in my heart (may it rest in peace) but thankfully this one is still just as tasty. The dog had the perfect snap when you first bite into it in that iconic buttery bun and the fries are delicious. The woman at the register even brought out food out to the table! We didn't love the sodas but that's not on them. read more

Horrible experience, first and only time going. We went and ordered and waited at least 30 minutes. Asked multiple times and they said it was on the way. Then finally said they lost the order and would get started on it soon...after 40 minutes of waiting. I asked to cancel the order. They didn't refund my card, they just gave me a cash refund that I realized when I got home that was $10 less than what I paid. I went to the 7-11 next door and actually RECEIVED hot dogs that I paid for in less than 2 minutes for my kids. DO NOT go here unless you have an hour to kill and ate before getting there. read more

Pretty solid hot dog restaurant with classic loaded creations. They have a cheesesteak lunch special from 11am-3pm if i remember correctly which was a great value at around $12 for a full meal whereas each hot dog is a little over $7 each. The store is pretty small with just a few tables inside and a kiosk to order at, but the do have two outdoor tables as well which is perfect for a nice day. The parking lot is tight and one way, but it's very easy to get to and at least the parking is free. The customer service wasn't the best since the kiosk is the preferred way to order, but we simply weren't greeted despite being the only customers in the store for awhile. Grab and go bottles of soda and juice boxes are the main refreshments available to drink at this restaurant as well. read more

Wow, their hamburgers are DELICIOUS. They have an assortment of interesting burger type options for variety, and however it is that they make their patties and cook them, it is on target. If I had to pick my last meal before I perish here on earth, I would consider a hamburger from this place and be satisfied. Highly recommended. To boot, the lady who operates the counter is always pleasant. I have not explored all of their menu so cannot speak to their other options. read more

Save yourself a disappointment. Don't go there - saggy bun , cheese taste horrible , fries saggy -ewww.

What a pleasant surprise. We went for lunch on Mother's Day and the food and service blew our minds. The hotdog flavors were so intriguing that we ordered half of the menu. Everything was fresh, juicy, and flavorful. We also ordered the French Onion Hamburger and it melted in our mouths. This restaurant is a must-try. The space isn't very big, but it's big enough for 6-8 people to eat inside and there's seating outside. #HappyEating read more

Love this place!! I come all the way from DC just to get one of their hotdogs. The bread is what does it for me!!

Haute dogs is back at the county fair. The half smoke was much better than the Fenway. It was basically the perfect hot dog, great toppings! read more

Stopped by for a quick treat. Noticed how fun and clean and nice it was inside and ended up eating here. I had a nice cold beer and got a couple dogs one popular and one new, both delicious! Super friendly service. Would recommend! read more

Bad service. No one at counter but teenager behind clearly hiding from customers. From what I could tell, poor beer selection. Too bad bc it otherwise looked like a perfectly pleasant place. Save your time, I walked out. read more

Food is good but ordering hours are ambiguous. Even though it is open, I keep getting messages saying for their Arlington location at 11:10 AM (after they supposedly open) that there are no menus available and to try again later. I'm not wasting time driving over there either to order in person and wait or to find that they are not taking any orders for pickup. read more

Convenient place to stopby when craving for quick meal/snack. I tried the chicago style hotdog which was good. I would agree that there is slightly a bit too much roll for the dog. read more

I love this place or at least their food and menu!! The hotdogs are awesome so many different varieties of how it's dressed and they are ALL good. This type I had the German bratwurst- smaller than expected but fantastic. Generous with the sauerkraut. I also had the strawberry milkshake which was excellent. The inside seating is okay not great and it was not clean on the tables or seats - had to ask to get it cleaned. They were happy to do so though. Parking is available but a tad tight. So I say a 5 for the food assuming the niche they are in. They have delicious burgers and fries as well. 3 for ambiance/seating/comfort and 3 1/2 for service. Definitely go for the food. read more

Haute Dogs - FYI - Hot Dogs Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

The young man at the counter was super helpful and friendly. There is an interesting mix of toppings and styles of hot dogs, and of beverages. But this New Yorker only gives it three stars for the food and an extra star for the service. Other people love the bun for my taste it was too soft and it appears to have been grilled. I don't need that extra fat. The dog was slender. So I walked away kind of on the unsatisfied side. Still looking for a great hot dog in the Arlington area. read more

A gorgeous spot in a suburban strip mall, Haute Dogs is trendy with a wide variety of menu items, including hot dogs, smash burgers, lamb sausages, and lobster rolls. We came in to eat in store, it is pretty small so I can assume on a weekend there isn't much room to sit but we saw quite a few people doing take out. Staff is friendly, definitely some younger folks manning the front but service was quick and efficient. Yes, they don't have your typical Pepsi or coke products but who cares? Go to 711 and grab your drink, but you will be missing out on the great local beer and wine selection they have. Foodwise we got the OBX dog, the 3 piece suit, and the baked potato tots. I also tried out three extra sauces, the Korean bbq, the chipotle mayo, and the ranch. The buns they use are a 5/5, some of the best buns I've had. The toppings were also great, especially the chili as it had great flavor. The mustard and coleslaw on my dog were ok- not a ton of flavor and I wish the coleslaw was slightly creamier. The hot dogs were thinner but I will say the skin of both of our dogs was a bit tough, making the texture a tad chewier than I prefer (I'm weird about textures). The tots were great especially with the dips but I would love to see the cheese on them a bit more melted. Prices are fair, food portions are large, and I would love to come back to try a burger or another dog! read more

This is a great spot! The prices are definitely steep, but right now at this time with the economy pretty much everything is expensive. The hot dogs are absolutely fantastic and are 100% grass-fed beef. The bun it is placed into is awesome, and super soft. Kind of like a brioche bun. It's not a standard hot dog bun. You can also choose a gluten-free bun if you please. They have beer, wine, and even milkshakes too. Highly recommend! read more

Haute Dogs - Fenway, Bombshell, and Plus the dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Opening Day and they're still working some kinks out but just as I'm a big fan of the original location, I'm a fan here and will definitely be coming back. I live in Alexandria but the parking lot here is a big plus when getting my dog fix. Ordered my usual Fenway Frank but this location has fewer of the special dogs so I couldn't get my other favorite the Duck Duck Dog. The baked potato loaded tots made up for it though. They were excellent. Some other noted differences between locations: Arlington doesn't seem to offer the dog combos (at least at this time) and they also don't offer fountain drinks. They also have more burger options here and more loaded tot option. But for the most part it's the same great food with some limited seating and a much better parking situation. I've had today starred on my calendar since they announced the opening day and I'm thrilled to see one of my favorite local businesses expanding. read more

This is a very nice hot dog place with a large menu, and not just hot dogs, but also hamburgers and more. They also have high quality sodas, plus a few craft beers and more. I tried the L.A. Hot Dog, which was great, as well as a lemon and lime soda that was also great. This place also looks very nice, but it would look much much better if they made a real mural painting on the wall instead of using wallpaper! The staff were also very friendly. read more

Well...it was a good idea. The food was definitely interesting and unusual. I guess our family is more of a traditional hot dog place. So the menu was not our style. But something else which was not our style. The prices! For a hot dog! No thanks. We decided that yes, we tried it. We didn't like it. We have simple tastes and next time it's going a few doors down and picking up a Big Bite for much cheaper. I do wish the business the best. Just not our thing. read more

This gourmet hot dog place is incredibly tasty. I've been coming to the Alexandria location for almost 10 years. Love love love!!

I read the reviews of this just-opened Arlington restaurant and wanted to go for lunch today. It was a very good decision. We loved our hot dogs and Mexican cola plus some fries with it.

A 5 to 7 minute wait turned into a 22 minute wait three times longer than what was told. Also the family behind me I was ordering for three they were ordering for three and they got their food before I did actually five minutes before I did. Not a very happy customer right now. Previous times I got my food much faster. They might need to hire more staff and do something to boost their efficiency with their process. read more

Aesthetically it looks nice for a hotdog venue. What I don't like - they focus on the bun versus the quality of the dog. Why charge more $$$$$ when you taste a bulky bun. Wouldn't come back again for these so called gourmet dogs! read more
