"As its name suggests, the Dawg House specializes in wieners. But it is a central Connecticut diner and, honoring local food tradition, it also serves a fine steamed burger gobbed with steamed cheddar cheese."
Michael Stern
"Specialty of the house: a Strand dog. A sign above the order area reads, ''When You're in the Dawg House if you say 'with everything,' 'the works,' 'strand dog,' 'house specialty,' 'the best you have,' I hear 'hot dog with mustard and onions and Strand Lunch sauce.'' Although I grew up eating Chicago hot dogs and must confess that I still love them the most, this lovely weenie makes me proud to be a citizen of Connecticut."
Michael Stern
"When you order a hot dog at the counter, you also specify which condiments you want. This one has relish and yellow mustard. (Spicy mustard also is available.)"
Michael Stern
"I must confess that I never heard of locally-bottled Avery's soda. This one is root beer, and it is creamy-good."
Michael Stern
"For me, Dawg House dogs are too good to waste appetite on a side dish, but if you must, these superspiced fried potatoes with cheese and bacon fill the bill quite nicely."
Michael Stern
"The Dawg House is easily accessible from Route 9. Be advised that seating inside is extremely limited."
