Nikki's Dog House opened another location in Storrs in the former AT&T Store space next to , very close to the UConn campus. Their other location is in Putnam.
They serve up a variety of signature hot dogs, burgers, tacos, sandwiches. salads, fried chicken (nuggets, tenders), fried foods, and cooler drinks. The place is order at the counter with open food prep area and there is ample table seating inside.
I stopped by Nikki's Dog House for takeout. I ordered 2 specialty hot dogs and a soft taco to go. My food was prepared to order and all set in 7 minutes.
I enjoyed the food outside nearby on a hot sunny evening. The Coney Island hot dog ($4.95 plus tax) was topped with yellow mustard, raw chopped onions, and ground beef on a soft hot dog bun. This dog is similar to the Michigan dog I've enjoyed in the Northern NY region. The Park The Cah hot dog ($4.95 plus tax) was topped with yellow mustard & sweet baked beans on a soft hot dog bun. The Dot's Dirty Taco ($6.50 plus tax) was overloaded with cilantro lime slaw, corn salsa, shredded cheese, crispy chicken pieces, chili lime drizzle on a soft flour tortilla.
Overall, the food was good and slightly messy to eat. Will try other hot dogs next time in Storrs or at the Putnam location. read more
