I live in Belgrade, but frequently travel to Augusta to enjoy the best tasting burger in the surrounding Wtvl / Augusta area. Troy's connection to the original Bolley Genest from Wtvl with the secrets of exceptional comfort food keep me coming back. When I walk in, they just put on a burger and fries, no words needed. The dogs are great too, I'm just hooked on the burgers! read more

nasty cheap and gross!!! Frozen burgers, burnt hotdogs, the chili is from a can with nasty flavor tastes nothing like chili at all. How this place is still open and has been for so long is crazy with how crap it really is. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere for much better food, maybe the owner should have more pride in the food then in the dang truck parked outside!!! read more

I stopped in because their sign said they were hiring, so I wanted to get a feel for the place. I ordered a hot dog and fries, and the food itself was great. But the experience inside was honestly terrible. While I was eating, the owner started screaming at one of the male employees for bringing out one bucket of fries instead of two. He was yelling so loudly, using language I won't repeat, and then shouted at the employee again to get to the back. The way the owner treated his staff completely ruined the visit for me. No matter how good the food was, that behavior was unacceptable. After seeing that, I definitely won't be applying. read more

Great hot dogs, onion rings & service! We stumbled upon this place and go back when we were in the area.

The Hott Dogg House is Augusta's go-to for the best dogs in town! It is a local landmark and it's always busy, don't worry though, the line goes fast and food comes out quick and hot! The Hott Dogg House offers everything from lobster rolls, to chicken nuggets, to onion rings, but you HAVE to have their signature dog and fries. Get cozy with a natural casing dog, served loaded (mustard, relish, and cooked onion sans ketchup), on a pillowy, warm steamed bun. It's divine! The snap of the dog, the crispy salty fries- it's just simple honest eats. Yes, you will smell like hot dogs and onions for the rest of the day - but who cares it's an amazing aroma! If you want ketchup just ask, on the tables you'll find assorted add-ons like malt vinegar, hot sauce, and celery salt. The place is small and unassuming. They sell bottled soda, juice, tea and water, cash and card accepted. The food is cooked right there in the open grill/fry station. Your order is cooked right before your eyes. It's quite something to watch the dog flipper man the grill while the cash lady calls out the orders and sets up lines of trays to get you in and out. They know their local customers and will chat them up! You'll feel like you're part of the family here. The establishment has inside sitting and standing dining, or eat outside by the brook under an umbrella'd picnic table. Not great for groups or those looking to have a working lunch as it's smallish and can be noisy since it's pretty busy smashing out the killer eats. I'm not sure of the Wi-Fi situation there. There is a parking lot all around the place. Located in the State's Capital, the Dogg House is a must try for everyone and is a popular lunch spot for government employees - cheap and quick! This is a regular eating destination for me (and my co-workers). You'll love it! read more

This is a not so small, but very New England quaint, hot dog restaurant off the beaten path in Augusta. It looks like it may have been another restaurant at some time, but they have done a great job of renewing it. There are also tables outside in front of the restaurant, but the real ambiance is the 10-12 picnic tables in the lot behind the parking lot. There is a lot of greenery and maybe a stream behind it? But the real treat is the food. And there is a lot to eat in addition to hot dogs. The hot dogs are grilled on a flat top and delicious. they have several different combos, or make your own. The staff are beyond friendly and even fun. I had a customized hot dog with onion rings. The onion rings were also delicious and not the least bit greasy. I can't wait to go back and possibly try something else on the menu if I can veer from the incredible hot dogs. read more

I spent a week recently in Augusta for training. Not wanting to eat at a chain fast food establishment I searched Yelp and came across The Hott Dogg House with a very high rating. This place was the highlight of the entire week and I enjoyed eating there all 5 days. The menu is simple but extensive. The dogs are great, the burger cooked to order and the fries homemade. The potions are as substantial as the fun interacting with Katrina, Troy and Mike. I picked my meal the first day and let Katrina pick the last 4 which included mild sausage on Thursday and ribeye steak sandwich on Friday with no regrets. Troy makes his own coleslaw. It is a little sweet for me so on the last day Troy, on his own, whipped up a less-sweet portion. If you enjoy light banter and great food at reasonable prices a stop at The Hott Dogg House is a must. - Eric G. read more

Small but worth coming! Huge selection of dogs and burgers and the hand cut fries are amazing. Everyone is very nice. Clean read more

Excellent hot dogs and the fries were my favorite. Not soggy or flavorless, just perfectly cooked. I highly recommend this place!

The absolute best fries I have ever had. Hot and crunchy, couldn't taste better. The dogs are perfect, excellent and tasty. Don't waste your time looking for better fries and dogs in Central Maine, you won't find any better. read more

These are the best hot dogs in Augusta Maine. Service and price are excellent. The eating area is clean, with plenty of room. It is also good for takeout. read more

The food is always good, fresh and hot right when you get it. The line goes fairly quick and all the staff are exceptional at what they do. Whenever I drive by, I almost always stop in and say hello to Troy and all the other wonderful staff. My father knew some of them personally from high school and first showed me what a good restaurant should be. Commercial businesses with similar food should reconsider their options. Because if The Hott Dogg House picks up steam anymore, they'll be at the top of the fast food industry in a week. read more

Definitely not a greasy spoon, but amazingly great hot dogs and fries. I was skeptical that a hot dog could taste as good as these taste, but this is clearly what hot dogs and fries will taste like in heaven. Hand cut fries are spectacular! The staff is incredibly friendly, feels like you've known them forever and they remember you. Food is great, people are wonderful, very clean and inexpensive to boot - what more can you ask? read more
