    After having to close for several months due to renovations in the building, The Dog House is back and as good as ever! The Coney Dog is delicious and the fries are crispy and flavorful. The staff is super nice, helpful and willing to answer any questions you may have. If you haven't visited The Dog House, which is sure to become a Hagerstown staple, be sure to do it soon!

    A hot dog place with veggie hit dogs and a veggie burger! Passing through Hagerstown on our way back from Berkeley Springs where, unless it's Mary's Vegetarian restaurant Vegetarian entrees - if there are any - are usually limited to a too creamy and heavy pasta dish. Plus almost any of the zillion types of hot div dishes can be made with the veggie dogs. Hubby had the pastrami beef dog. I had that, minus the pastrami, which went to hubby, and with added crunchy onion. Young woman who helped us was lovely, and helped us make our choices. Lived the old time atmosphere and will return any time we're passing through. Metered street parking. Handicap accessible entry. I think they sell beer and ice cream too.

    Great food and service as usual. The fries are sooo good. Got the coney dog special and carter dog.

    I'm a hot dog loverrr, but this didn't really do it for me. I think the only reason it wasn't up to par was the mac & cheese on top. For me it tasted freezer burnt. The customer service was great, cannot complain at all, along with the unique store look!

    Food is BOMB!!!!! Service is amazing with employees cracking jokes all around. The vibe is great and fun music plays. The hotdogs we got were super yummy.

    Visit the square and immerse yourself in the diverse food and culture of Hagerstown. The Dog House is a unique spot, though parking is limited. Once inside, treat yourself to their delicious hot dogs. I ordered two, tempted by the enticing menu descriptions. I tried the Big Mac hot dog first and enjoyed its unique twist--while not an exact match, it was close enough to be delightful. The hot dogs were salty without being overly acidic, ensuring they wouldn't upset your stomach. One hot dog was so filling that I couldn't finish the second one. The buns were soft, the lettuce topping fresh, and overall, it was a fun and enjoyable meal. Staff was welcoming and gave tips on their favorite Dogs. It's a nice small diner shop so seating is limited.

    1st time through the area and decided to hit up a local spot like usual and this dog spot came across my radar. We came and ordered a mix of dogs: the coney, chipotle, pretzel and the Mac dog. We mixed the type of meat; there's beef, pork and chicken; so we had them all mixed up. Topped it off with a Golden Ale from the local Antietam brewery and holy crap was it great! The service was awesome too. I give this a 10/5 stars. If you're in the area definitely hit them up.

    We were welcomed by smiling staff, one of whom patiently guided us through the expansive menu. We ordered a chili cheese dog, Maryland Dog (crab & cheese) & crabby fries, as well as fountain drinks. It was tasty & our party agreed we will definitely be returning again & again!

    Order here!

    Ordered a Carter dog and it's delicious. They offer chicken, pork, and beef dogs. As a glizzy enthusiast, I highly recommend this place.

Everything we had from the herring appetizer and salad to our entrees, German beers and wine was authentic and wonderful. The restaurant is not very big so reservations are helpful.

With it being mid-week we didn't think we would need reservations but the bartender that seated us quickly let us know since we didn't have a reservation we'd have to sit at a bar high-top. It wasn't said in an inviting way and the vibe from this particular employee/manager/owner (??) unfortunately permeated the entire evening. Because we were seated in the bar area, which was entirely fine with us, we overheard frequent swearing in general and what should have been more private convos between her and various wait staff as they came to retrieve their drinks for their tables. We advised the waitress it was my friend's first time eating German food and my friend asked several questions just to seek clarification. The waitress didn't engage with any enthusiasm, so I proceeded to guide my friend at that point. The food was a solid 3, warm and decent, but nothing special and not much seemed to be made in house based entirely on the appearance and taste. Was the experience awful? No. Would I return? Also no. It was adequate for two folks that were hungry, but it was not the experience we had envisioned or hoped for.

I was in the mood for wings but their were a bit pricey for me and when you add $5+ for a basket of fries, we'll it was a turnoff for me. What I decided to do was order their chicken tenders basket which not only came with six modest sized tenders, it came with fries and a small container of cole slaw for the same price as just 10 wings! The tenders were moist and not stringy...a real trick for many restaurants who overcook breast meat tenders. They did a very good job here. If you are in the mood for wings, do consider the tenders basket which is a better value for the money. I did want to mention that Chrissy, my server was excellent. Friendly, courteous, professional and attentive and not at all intrusive. She seemed to read my mind and was there to give me a fresh beverage, ask if i needed an extra napkin, which i did, and get me atake out box when i was ready to check out. Do try to get her when you visit!

First time it seemed like there was one person at the bar and one server, with very few patrons. Initially she was extremely attentive and then when food came out we felt forgotten. No offer to get us second drinks when we were almost done with the first round when our app was served, and then a huge delay to bring the second round after bringing dinner. We noticed the waitress in the back on her phone. Which during dead time, I get it. But please check on your table. Second time I had a birthday coupon and we wanted convenience of going up the road from the house. It seemed busy but well staffed. Last time we were welcomed to see ourselves at the high top table, this time the girl told us to wait so she could help a patron pick out a shirt. Which would've been fine but it quickly turned into a 10 minute yes, no, maybe, next one, etc. Eventually someone else saw us waiting and sat us. Food took extraordinarily long. The waitress was extremely apologetic, and always checked on us for drinks. She seemed to be the only one running around, so much so that she went a little MIA. Totally not her fault. Very much a staffing issue/issue with other employees doing their part. Because of these things, we will NOT be back.

    This review is for Orange Julius / Dairy Queen at the Hagerstown Outlet Mall Food Court…read more.. What do you do when you get to the outlets at 10:30am on a Saturday...not quite lunch time but 4 quasi-hungry ladies want a snack? You find the Orange Julius!!! After a bumper to bumper one hour car ride (WHY did we decide to go to the outlets on the Saturday before Christmas???) 3 sisters and their mom were only interested in finding the nearest restroom so we headed straight to the food court. Walking the gauntlet you are greeted by fresh made pretzels drenched in butter, pizza sold by the slice, all types of meat sold on a bun and even french cookies that melt in your mouth for $2 a piece...and we walked all the way to the opposite end of the court because MY MOM (I'm 41) wanted a frozen orange drink (Growing up in the 80s and working at the mall, I am very familiar with the frozen orange drink that taste like actual orange juice but better because it's icy and creamy...nom nom nom...) So we are greeted by a friendly teenage who probably woke up just minutes before but he was so patient and sweet! Too many choices!! Do you order dairy queen soft serve in a cone or in a blizzard? Do you order a burger or hot dog...and now they serve french fries!! How about a fruit smoothie made to order??? Makes me chuckle that we finally order 2 juiluses (is that the plural form? lol), diet coke, a corn dog and nachos...if you are going to snack at the food court, go all out and get the processed cheese (did my uber-healthy Mom really just stop my sister from throwing out 2 tiny chip pieces and a glob of cheese so she could finish it? LMBO!!). Were we at the county fair or were we at the outlet mall? Who cares!! Great start to a Saturday of spending crazy money!! Bring the kids and introduce them to a small, yummy part of your childhood!!
