About Zogs Dogs

Zogs Dogs, a casual eatery located at the base of Whistler village, offers a satisfying selection of classic grilled fare. Known for its juicy bratwurst pork sausage and flavorful jalapeno and cheese smokie, the restaurant attracts visitors looking for a quick, affordable bite. The toppings are limited to staples like ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut, relish, and pickles, but the focus remains on delivering quality grilled items. The cheeseburger and bacon cheeseburger provide a decent, satisfying meal, while the poutine is a standout with warm, comforting flavors, perfect for the chilly mountain weather.

The restaurant is praised for its friendly staff, who are genuinely interested in customers' plans and are accommodating of last-minute orders, making it a reliable spot for families. The veggie burger, a black bean burger served on a brioche bun, offers a tasty vegetarian option. There are plenty of picnic benches and round tables, making Zogs Dogs a good place for casual, no-frills dining in Whistler. The fries are well-prepared—on point, not too crispy or soggy—and the beef gravy is rich and salty. The 'vegan' gravy is more soupy but still good. Cheese curds are satisfying, though some wish there were more.

Customers can add sausages to their poutine, with options like all beef and bratwurst, though some find the cheese smokie less appealing, especially when the advertised jalapeno aspect was not noticeable. Free jalapenos, pickles, fried onions, and sauerkraut are available, along with classic condiments such as ketchup, mustard, relish, mayo, BBQ, HP, and hot sauce. While service may be perceived as soulless or slow at times, it is generally attentive enough once orders are placed. The restaurant's limited seating includes only two tables, which could be expanded. Prices are high but typical for Whistler standards.

Overall, Zogs Dogs remains a go-to spot for hearty comfort food, especially for those after fries with gravy, poutine, burgers, or hot dogs. It’s highly recommended for anyone near the Whistler Village Gondola seeking quick bites, with a few soda options available, though the drink selection is better elsewhere. The staff, including the cheerful team, make the experience enjoyable, and the food consistently hits the spot, especially the best poutines in town.
