We checked in Google and on their Facebook site. They said they were open. Travelling through and went off our route, looking forward to eating here. Closed at 5:30pm when we arrived. Disappointing.
The food is ok but I grew up with tommy burger. We ordered the foot long chili dog with cheese the frito pie with meet and the tater tots. Either they screwed up the order or their tater tots look like french fries. Sadly the fries where the best part of the meal. The chili was very spicy and didn't have much of a flavor to it. The frito pie was a nice mix of everything but again with so much chili it was hard to taste any of it.
Just a muuuuust stop for every route 66 traveler and of course you can see how locals love this place. Spicy and nice . It's a drive thru kind of. And the lady would take your order to your car.
Place was good the first time around they were very respectful and took me and my clients order with no issues. I came here the second time and the girl was rude and told us we couldn’t have two separate orders. I’m like this is unbelievable. Does the owner know that they loss money that way. So I ordered nothing. And my client stilled ordered. Oh my money won’t go in this place no more. And I won’t be recommending this place to no one too.
We came here for the nostalgia of rt. 66 but also Breaking BAD! I was under the impression that you walked up to order~ signage on windows informed us that it is only a car hop and eat in your car! Our Lady was super sweet and very tentative since we were not locals and didn't know the ins and outs. She was able to take credit card and cash right out of her pouch! They do care other items besides Hotdogs (even though if your going get the dogs!) Burgers, corndogs, chicken, chili, Fritos Pie and all the sides needed with drinks and floats.
I haven't been to this place in about 20 years! I ordered the footlong red chili hot dog with cheese. It's not as hot as I remember, but still pretty good. The fries were not that great. They were like those fries you get at the cafeteria in middle school, full of grease. The prices are good. The Wait staff was very pleasant and very fast. If you park in the parking lot, they'll come to your car and take your order. I've posted a picture of the menu.
First let me say that I love a good hot dog. Almost every city has a hot dog joint that's better than anywhere else you can find in town and has been around forever. In my hometown of Raleigh, NC that place is The Roast Grille and when I lived in Orlando, FL that place was Hot Dog Heaven. Dog House Drive In is definitely the best hot dog spot in Albuquerque.I haven't lived here very long and I drove by the place several times and I never got the chance to stop in until yesterday. A couple of people had highly recommended the place to me and I was excited to check out the spot.There is no indoor dining, always....not just because of Covid. There was the sweetest lady going from car to car taking orders and delivering food. When she saw me snapping photos of the restaurant she told me to give her a minute to turn on the neon lights which might make for a better picture.I ordered a foot long chili cheese dog with mustard and onion, an order of fries and a large soft drink which set me back 10 bucks and some change. The hot dog was perfection. Fresh bun, delicious weiner, and the chili on top surprised me. In all my days I've never had hot dog chili on a dog that was spicy. Never even occurred to me. It was absolutely delicious. A slow burn that builds in your mouth as you keep consuming the dog but never gets too hot. I loved everything about my hot dog. The fries were pretty good, too. Shoestring French fries that were really crispy on the outside.There is a tiny park across the street with one picnic table and so I walked over and enjoyed my meal there at dusk. It was an absolutely gorgeous day in ABQ.Again, the lady taking the orders and bringing out the food was such a total sweetheart of a person. I tipped her $3.I will most definitely be back. And soon. Just writing this review has made me hungry for one of their hot dogs.
I have lived in ABQ my whole life and I've heard some really good things about this place and I finally tried it out the other night. I got a chili cheese dog with onions with a side of fries and I was shocked by how good the chili cheese dogs are! I contently think about this place and want to go back all the time, I just wish that I didn't live on the other side of town otherwise I'd probably be here every day! 10/10 definitely recommend!
You gotta love the Dog House, it's an Albuquerque staple. The dining room is closed for now, but they still run the drive in like they always have. The wait staff is friendly, and they're good at seeing when someone pulls up. The food is great, but be ready for some heat. If you haven't been here, I highly recommend you go.
The chili dogs are amazing. I always ask for them to be cut in half so it's easier to eat. Don't forget the onion rings! They take cash or card now which is great.
