    I can't speak to how amazing the customer service was here. The owners are absolutely wonderful and the food possibly even better!

    There are only a couple of patrons dining when we stopped in for a late lunch on a Wednesday…read moreafternoon. We ordered the Downtown Haus Dog, the Das Brat Haus Sausage, and a mini Corn Dog. My husband had the Das Brat and said "it was a little too sweet for what it was" due to the caramelized onions but still enjoyed it. My Downtown dog was tasty. I enjoyed everything about it. I'm usually a mustard and relish gal so I wasn't sure how I would like all the toppings. However, it has me looking forward to trying the other variations. Corn dog is as good as you'd imagine it would be. Nice bite from the batter. Perfect with mustard. We brought our pup and ordered a burger patty for him. It's great that the Dog Haus has a large outdoor dining area. Many of the other downtown Vista restaurants have smaller outdoor areas. The cashier/bartender/server was very nice, social. There was an error with our order where it took longer than expected so she comped us an order of tater tots. Bonus!

    I was staying on the coast and drove 25 minutes inland for dinner here simply because they…read moreparticipate in a dining rewards program that allows me to get extra miles. I was not particularly craving a burger or a hotdog, but I assumed this place was in a mid-point price range. This spot is located in the charming town of Vista, small and walkable. There's an outdoor dining area that's very nice when the weather is nice. I'm only giving this place three stars however, because I think aside from the nice dining area, it's pretty average. There seemed to be only one person working the front area when I arrived. We had to order off a kiosk. Two burgers and an order of tater tots came to about $40. That seems a tad high to me. The order came out wrong -- we ordered avocado on one burger but it was added to the wrong one. The food was decent if a bit salty. We had to wait like 20 minutes for our food, which seem weird for fast casual. The burgers -- at least the one I had -- was tasty. The Hawaiian bun made the burger particularly nice. But it wasn't anything to rave about or to crave later on. Bottom line, I think service here is a bit slow, the prices are a bit high, but the food is decent and overall your experience will be completely average. Solid three stars.

Both were really good all-beef dogs - Hebrew National would be my guess. Also, really good, solid buns. The In-N-Outt was really good but had a lot going on. A lot of the many toppings fell off and landed on my plate. The flavors and textures did meld very well together. The secret sauce was on the sweeter side. I loved that the bun was toasted. The New Yorker was the better of the two in my opinion. Simplicity is key, I think. Dog, bun, kraut, good mustard and a sprinkle of spice. Quality dog, good kraut, high quality mustard made for an excellent hot dog. My coworkers had really good things to say about their dogs as well. Particularly the Chili Cheese Dog, the So Cal Dog and the Surf Dog. The guac on the So Cal and pineapple on the Surf were especially intriguing. 5-star lunch!

    We tried this place because we had an InKind App deal ($10 off $20), and I'm so glad we did!…read more The vibe is great--good music, fun atmosphere, and really friendly service. We couldn't decide what to order, and the person who helped us was super patient and nice. Everything was clean, including the bathroom. It's not a huge space inside, but there's outdoor seating, and it would be a fun spot to come with friends. We also noticed a lot of people coming in for pickup orders, which is always a good sign. The food did not disappoint. My husband got the Haus burrito and added sausage for $0.91--totally worth it. I ordered the buffalo wings and they were amazing; I'd definitely get them again. My son loved the chicken strips and fries too. I also really appreciated that you can pay in-store using the InKind App--it made everything super easy. Overall, a 10/10 experience. We'll definitely be back!

    This was highly recommended by my daughter so I thought of giving it a try!…read more I love cheese sticks so I got a Jumbo hand dipped cheese stick with pepper jack and a Jumbo hand dipped corndog for my hubby !!! I didn't chk the price but WOW!!! $9 for EACH???????? When I got my order, the hand dipped batter were like kind of over cooked to the point that they were burnt and batter was bland and burnt side was so bitter to the taste. I went up to the cashier and asked if the corn dog was the way it looked like burnt... and he replied "yes" ... but its bitter to the taste. So he willingly exchanged or replaced another cheese stick ..... but it was still burned !!!!!!! At this point I didn't want to waste my Jumbo cheese stick so I ate and finished it !! Hubby had a small bite of the Jumbo corn dog then it accidentally jumped off the table and rolled to the sticky floor ! When I was trying to get up from my seat ... bench was so sticky but i had to leave and I really don't want to stick around !!! It was a sticky situation !!! Being my first experience here the rating of 2 stars are for them replacing my cheese stick ! I will have to think twice about coming back here .... BUT the Western Bacon hot dog LOOKS YUMMY and so are the other hot dog sandwiches !!!! It might be a while for me to give this business another try in another location! I think the corn dogs are too pricey for $9 ... I don't mind paying that much for the quality of food I am getting!!!!

    Cold reception. Place not very spacious. Looks clean but stepped on sticky floor by catchup and…read moremustard counter. Ordered two different corn dogs. They're both kind of burnt but one is more burnt. Very bitter taste of the batter (very dry too). Showed the guy and complained about the taste. Guy said that's how they do it. I'm not coming back and pay $9.00 for a burnt cheese dog. Hot dog on a stick at the mall taste way better. Corn dog tolerable burnt and batter not too dry. Asked about their mojo sauce and was answered rudely "There's the description right there" pointing at wall poster. (We were actually asking for a sample to taste and eventually given a small amount) Not a good service at all. One star for replacing burnt cheese dog with another burnt one. Don't care about this place. Food and service not good
