This place is always busy. Perfect after-bar food. Love the food (for what it's meant to be, like, not at all good for you, but so perfect in the moment). Only down side is the long wait. But the workers are never slacking. Just high demand. read more

Closes when employees want to. Employee outside smoking cigarette and talking on phone said it was closed. Then proceeded to go in, still talking on phone, and made him some sandwiches while we were outside. My daughter was visiting from out of town. Was supposed to close at 10 and it was 7pm. The others are closed down. This will be the next one. Sad. read more

Thank you for the kind service from Lennon. First time here having the beef instead of a dogg, and already better than most in Mke that I have had. Definitely blows Martinos out of the water just by portion size. And Portillos just a over rated chain. Juicy flavorful reminds me of home give them a try if your in the Brady street area. read more

This is the perfect spot for a good hot dog on a night out. My go to is now the chili dog because I am forever loyal to the deliciousness of a Chicago style dog from Superdawg in Chicago. Dogg Haus is consistent, not flashy, and yummy. It definitely is a great no frills hot dog joint with quick service. You can't beat it! read more

Went at 11:05AM and establishment closed. Website and Yelp says it is open at 11 AM. No note of emergency on door ir anything.

This place has baffled me for a long time because I have driven over about 5 times now around noon on the weekends to try them out for a beef and a hot dog of some sort. When they had a web page it says that they open at 11am on the weekends just like yelp states but they are always closed. I have even called several times to verify the hours and even the day before my drive only to constantly find them closed at noon on the weekends and a waste of a drive because I don't live anywhere close to then. So last night I call to verify the hours again and I told that they open at 11am but maybe 12pm if the worker is late, what is that about. I get there at 11:45 and the place is closed so I decided to stake the place out and see what time that they actually open and at 12:40 pm a guy starts putting the outdoor seating in front of the place, that's almost 2 hours late to open. I opted for a chili cheese dog and a Chicago style beef dipped with hot peppers. The chili cheese dog looked pathetic and anemic was my first thought and it had a thin whiff chili on it and shredded cheese. The chili cheese dog was over priced at almost $5 with tax for what you get. The Chicago style beef dipped with hot peppers was flash dipped so the bread was not soggy like I like them and it was smaller then the average Italian beef I thought. The beef was clearly the better choice and the peppers were hot to my liking. I would stick with that Chicago place that starts with a P for beefs and dogs because this place was a let down and over priced for what you get. read more

I stopped by the Dogg Haus last week because I was seriously caving their Rome Dogg, which is a Vienna beef hot dog topped with provolone, Italian Beef, and giardiniera. It's so delicious and probably my favorite hot dog! Yes, I would take a Rome over a Chicago dog. I also ordered a Chili dog and fries, which were both also delicious! The food survived my drive home, and the jus from the Italian Beef made the bun a little vulnerable, but that is to be expected. It certainly did not take away from the flavor and experience of satisfying a craving. The food got the job done, and I would go back again. read more

The Dogg Haus is my favorite place in Milwaukee for a hot dog or Italian Beef sandwich. At the Dogg Haus, you can customize your hot dog anyway that you want, which I really like. Excellent quality, excellent value for a great price. -- The Italian Beef is huge and soooo good. Not much inside seating. I usually pull up a stool at the window and watch the people go by on Brady street. read more

I've enjoyed the hot dogs here before, especially liked that they have a meatless imitation hot dog. The hours are so erratic and undependable it's just too frustrating. Don't ever get your hopes up high, don't try to come here when you're hungry or have a serious jones for a hot dog, they will more likely than not be closed. I would only recommend coming here if you're not that hungry so you won't be bitterly disappointed when it's all locked up. Also, parking is a problem, and since you can't really tell if it's open or not from a car on the street, I also would only come here on a bicycle, and again, only when you're not that hungry. read more

The Dogg Haus - Closed in spite of posted hours stating otherwise. Not cool. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Service was great considering how packed this tiny shop can get. It's a quick in and out. I've only tried two types of doggs, so I can't attest to all of them, but they were pretty good. This Chicago Style Dogg was lacking a bit in flavor, perhaps it was the lack of relish or it needed more peppers. Either way, they're open late and convenient if you're on the East Side or Downtown MKE. read more

The Dogg Haus - Chicago Dogg - Hot Dogs Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This is a great place to go for late night eats! They get food out quickly and have great options. There is not a lot of sitting so it's more of a grab and go place. It can sometimes be a hit or miss. One time everything I got was amazing and another time my hot dog was kind of cold. Would recommend the Chicago dog and nacho cheese fries. This place is also friendly on the wallet read more

Haus everything going? Well I hope? Well in that case, on with this review. I'm not a big fan of the Dogg Haus... the Chicago dogs here are around about a four star - not completely authentic, and not completely fresh and delicious, but definitely on the right track. The reason why I really didn't enjoy it, though, was because several employees were smoking directly outside the store - at the table next to the doorway - so the store smelled of it, and the doorway smelled of it, and the guy that got up from his break to go make my hot dog smelled of it. I kind of have a phobia to cigarettes, as I know a lot of people do, but I'm worse about it than any of them. In my own mind at least. So that definitely put me off just do it in the back or something. I'd have given 4 stars but that aspect lowered it to 3 and made me lose my appetite. read more

From Illinois so a Chicago hot dog is a big deal to me if it's done right. I cant talk on other hot dogs here (since I have only had the Chicago dog and fries) but the Chicago style is pretty good. It gives me my fix until I get to go back to Illinois, nothing crazy but good. The fries were really great, super crispy and salty! The only reason I gave one less star is because sometimes they arnt open when they say they are. There have been 3 different times where online it says they are open, I head over and no ones there. Other than that Its my favorite hot dog place in Milwaukee by far. read more

The Italian beefs are sooooooo good. They have great service and the dogs are delish. They make your Italian beef exactly how you want them with unlimited toppings. It was perfectly dipped and seasoned. I cannot wait to come back and have another one. They're also open super late on weekends. read more

The dogg haus is a great place for a late night snack with a variety of hotdog options. I wouldn't recommend this option as a main meal, but if you need a late night snack or something quick on-the-go, this is a good option read more

Tiny place, not much atmosphere, maybe best as a takeout place or drunk munchies go-to. But know this, and know it well: their Chicago dogs are legit! read more

This little stand advertises for hot dogs with a variety of add on options. However, the small space was very dirty, no place to sit. The hot dog was... . The cheese curds were ok- However I have to wonder if they have passed a health dept evaluation.... My suggestion would be to move on.. read more

As with the two locations in "downtown", this Dogg Haus has the same menu and is quite small on the inside. But the hot dogs are ready to rock and roll, as long as you can figure out what it is that you want. I'd recommend the Wisconsin Dog, and as you might expect, it arrives loaded with cheese, cheese and more cheese. And I'm not exaggerating, it has three different cheese on it! Nice tables outside where you can people watch. read more

After a few drinks my friends and I stopped here on our way home from the bars. When I say the service was quick. I am not kidding. I seriously thought my friend stole her hot dog because it was THAT fast (she paid). I had a bite of hers, a hot dog with a pickle on it, my bite was just hot dog and bun but was still tasty. The hot dog was a lot smaller than I expected but just what you need late in the night read more

Great place to get a chili dog with slaw. And really enjoy the well salted fries with it.

Every time I'm done smoking a cigar I have to stop to get a dog don't matter where you from or what kind you like everything is on point hands down. read more

Left work craving a chili cheese dog... dude working made it beautiful.. It was just awesome

The Dogg Haus has a few locations in Milwaukee and this one on Brady Street is tiny. They offer hot dogs done a dozen ways or build your own. The ingredients are all in plain view and looked absolutely fresh, something that impressed me. The Chicago Dog (with requested ketchup, hey, we're in Wisconsin now...) was excellent. The skinny fries, cooked perfectly. My Milwaukee friends say "I find that the best Chicago dawgs are not in Chicago. Ooh, them's fightin' words! But come to the Dogg Haus and see what they mean. read more

Best hotdogs in Milwaukee I live nearby but in all my time living here I have literally never known when this place is open. Some days they just never do, not sure if anyone truly knows read more

I don't eat meat anymore...except for fish and shellfish. (Because I feel like they don't really have a lot of feelings so I don't feel as bad as I do when I'm eating a cow or chicken or whatever. Friend in nyc: "right, because those lobsters never scream in pain when they get thrown in boiling water." What-ever, haters. Ok, so maybe I honestly can't imagine going for long without sushi and somewhere in the back of my mind Samuel Jackson a la Pulp Fiction is always saying "a pig is a filthy animal" everytime I see a pile of pulled pork.) Wait, where was I? Right, explaining why I was getting a veggie dog on Brady street. I think my complete amino acid profile is getting low or something... So I've passed by this place for years. I'd only once visited the one on Wisconsin ave prior. I finally stopped in a couple weeks ago. Aaaaand, its pretty good! You can get your hot dog, polish sausage, brat, italian sausage, veggie dog, (sadly I think they are chorizo-less) done up with all kinds of toppings. You can make your own combos or they have a bunch already done up, most named for cities (the Atlanta, Memphis, Santa fe etc). You can get various other meats added on top of the dog, and they have separate options for italian beef etc. Sides include cheese curds, fries, etc. I got "the wisconsin" which had three kinds of cheese. The buns are perfectly steamed and nice and pillow-y. Its just a hole in the wall with a counter with stools but in summer they put tables out on the street. read more

I love The Dogg Haus. It is exactly what you would expect; delicious and inexpensive. This location is the perfect place to stop on the way home after a night out on Brady Street. The space is small but the wait is never long and you receive plenty of food for the cost. If you're looking for health food, this is not the place! The Dogg Haus has a nice variety of hot dogs to choose from with plenty of toppings available. Sides of fries (with various toppings) and cheese curds are the perfect accompaniment. I usually just get the Chicago Dogg (perfection), but you really can't go wrong. read more

Nothing to rave about. Ideal for stopping after you've hit every bar west of here on Brady St....which is pretty much what I did. Got the Italian, not dipped with extra peppers. Man, sure had some kick to it. I would stop there again and maybe try a Chicago dog. The place is so small, definitely meant for to-go orders and not dining in. read more

Went here for Italian beef as I'm searching high and low for the best Italian beef in Milwaukee. I didn't expect much from this little hole in the wall location, but it wasn't bad. The meat wasn't anything special but they piled it on thick, very generous with the portions. They have an extra meat option but I'm not sure where they'd have put any extra meat. I had mild peppers and onions but they were fairly spicy for my taste, a bit too much. Curious if I really got spicy or I'm just a weakling? Overall, it was a decent sandwich but nothing special. Good if you're looking for a quick fill-up on Italian beef and in the area. read more

Great Chicago dog and the Roman is crazy good. Good blend of meats and service was fast! Great spot!! read more

The Dogg Haus - Hot Dogs Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Has really good selection is hot dogs that are surprisingly good, however, some of your appetite will be lost after waiting in the small, steamy, and sticky room while the only cook makes your order. Don't try leaning against anything because everything has a thin layer of sticky shit on it. Hot dogs are a bit overpriced as well. If you're really hungry and in a rush. It's not bad. But don't plan on taking your date here. read more

I like the midwestern style vibe and the classic menu with a twist. Ordered Chicago style & curds

It's not Hot Doug's, but this isn't Chicago. I love what they do, from a Chi-town style dog to a basic chili and cheese. They're consistent, friendly and, late nights, I love watching the bar time crowd come through. Silly drunken maroons. This location, specifically due to hours open, is rated way higher than the one on Wisconsin. The Marquette campus location is a decent deal too, but the likelihood of popped collar DB's is a drawback at times. read more

Don't trust anyone who says this place doesn't do a proper Chicago hot dog. I'm from the Chicago area and grew up with a nasty hot dog habit - and this place MORE than pulls its weight. Anyone who tries to write this place off is just being a pretentious hot dog elitist (the worst kind of elitists.) They've got the Vienna beef and the ingredients to back it up, you fools. I've been here plenty of times at all hours of the day and have always gotten a delicious dog (or 3) quickly and cheaply. Fries are salty and on point. Think I might go get a hot dog now actually. 10/10 WOULD CONSUME TUBED MEATS AGAIN. read more

There's a few questions I usually ask myself before I end up in Dogg Haus. What time is it? Can I really stand another slice from Pizza Shuttle? How many shots did I just take? No matter the question, Dogg Haus has always been the right answer for me. They're quick, they're cheap, they're delicious, and they're open late. Their dog(g?)s are solid, and are made however the hell you want. The service is super fast, and when the night gets rolling, the staff just gets funnier and happier from my experiences. Still my favorite late-night place in Milwaukee. A staple, if you must. read more

I used to take the bus to work past the flagship Dogg Haus while it was still in the process of being built. I watched the progress on the space, and was really excited to see "Hot Dogs," "Italian Beef," and "Coming Soon" written in the soaped windows in the weeks leading up to the grand opening. So, when they opened, I was the second customer through the door, and the first one to actually buy anything. The first day, I ordered an Italian Combo sandwich (Italian beef and Italian sausage with mozzarella), and a classic Chicago Dogg. I was immediately impressed. I'd had both of them many times over at the sort of places in Chicago that claimed to have invented them. Al's, Portillo's, etc. And The Dogg Haus versions were NOT MESSING AROUND. The beef was sliced thin, the au jus perfectly spiced, and the sausage was to this day the best I've ever had. And the portion size! Especially for the price, it's a hell of a sandwich. The Dogg was just as awesome. It's a true Chicago-style - Steamed poppyseed bun, onions, celery salt, nuke-green relish, mustard...And of course an all-beef Vienna dog that snapped when you bit into it. Before I was even done, I was not only forced to admit that The Dogg Haus might actually do Chicago dogs better than, well...CHICAGO, but I'd already started looking forward to my next trip back. And it wasn't long. I came back as often as I could after that. The food was always spot-on, and the service never failed to be prompt and friendly. Most of the time, the staff even remembered my order, and started putting it together as soon as I walked in the door. So it was with great satisfaction that I watched as more and more people discovered the place, causing Dogg Hauses to pop up all over town. I felt a small swell of hipster cred that I'd gotten there first, but I was still happy that others loved it as much as I did. Then the awards started rolling in. Shepherd "Best of Milwaukee" every year since opening. Travel blogs putting the place on top-ten lists. Accolade after accolade. Location after location, all justifying my initial assessment. And still, never a single step missed on the food, or the service, no matter when I went in. Simply put, The Dogg Haus is a treasure. I don't live in Milwaukee anymore since my job takes me all over the country, but Milwaukee is still home. And whenever I'm back, The Dogg Haus is a must-stop. It's not a trip home without it. Because I've TRIED to eat at other places that claim to have "Authentic Chicago Beef and Dogs" wherever I am, and at best, they land somewhere in the neighborhood. The only place that NAILS it? Here. And even though I only get in once or twice a year at most, I'll be damned if the staff doesn't still remember my order. See you soon! read more

Yum with a side of yum! Hands down - best cheese curds in town. This is WI so don't even pretend to not like deep fried cheese. Also, the Wisconsin dogg is on point! read more

There is a Haus for dogs? Yes, there is kids. This dogg house is for people who miss Chicago and want a Chicago dog or an Italian beef, or a Vienna hot dog. They do them up here about the way I remember them at the Vienna beef hot dog factory cafe (there is such a magical place on Damen Ave. in Chicago!) or Al's Beef Chicago on West Taylor Street. Milwaukee and Chicago are like two brothers, or sisters, or a big hunk mega dude and his hot drunk little girlfriend and this place is a perfect embassy for the Chicago style dogs, beef, and fries those of us who spent our time in Chicago came to love. Way to go Doggy! read more

The staff has earned themselves all four of those stars, dealing as they do with late-night drunks and crazies. Every time I've been there, they have been polite, happy, and put up with shenanigans without hesitation or hostility. On top of that, THEY HAVE VEGGIE DOGS. I've never had a real hot dog and am not interested in breaking that streak at this time. So when I was starving at 1am and saw veggie dogs on the menu? I wanted to kiss everyone in there. They are delicious plain, but also smothered in the fantastic toppings available. Do not even start me on the cheese curds. I am a cheese curds freak and these are the best I've had ever. That's a pretty serious statement, probably slightly affected by my inebriation at the time, but I stand by it. Guys, go here if you're in the area. It will be worth it. read more
