The Dog Hut

The Dog Hut in Ormond Beach: Willfully Violating Civil Rights—And Serving Terrible Food While They’re At It Let’s start with the obvious: the food here is bad. Greasy, tasteless cheeseburgers. Overcooked fries that taste like they were pulled from oil older than the building. And while we didn’t order a hot dog, we watched one being served—limp, gray, and straight out of lukewarm water. Not grilled. Not appetizing. But far worse than the food is the owner’s blatant disregard for the rights of people with disabilities. That yellow Smart Car you see in the photos? It belongs to the owner of the Dog Hut. And they choose—deliberately and repeatedly—to park it illegally in the ADA hash-marked wheelchair access lane, blocking the path meant for those who use mobility devices. When I spoke directly to the owners about this violation, I was blown off. Their excuse? “People park there and go gamble next door.” In other words, they know it’s wrong—and they don’t care. The owner continues to use that space as their personal parking spot, even though it’s a clear violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and an infringement on the civil rights of people who rely on accessible spaces. This isn’t a harmless oversight. It’s a choice. A choice to ignore the law. A choice to block access. A choice to tell disabled customers that their presence and rights don’t matter. Come for the kitschy hot dog stand charm if you want—but know that the food is bad, and the values are worse.

Just talked to the owner from New York for 20 minutes go back. He’s hilarious.

The only reason for the three on the atmosphere, because there is no indoor seating. You'll be sitting by the road. Which is still unique.

Man running the place has 0 customer service skills. We asked what oil they use because my sister's fiancé is deathly allergic to peanuts, and instead of just saying he didn't know, he was rude and confrontational. He could've skipped the whole interaction by just saying he didn't know, but instead, he was disrespectful. Lady with him seemed nice, though, and I'm sad we couldn't have figured it out. You should go to the cheezy sandwich shop 2 buildings down instead. Infinitely better

Absolutely disgusting behavior by the old man working today. Told my brother in law that he had an "illness" because he has a deathly serious peanut allergy and they didn't know what oil they use. Tried describing the box to him because I work in the food industry and was told "100 companies make boxes like that" when all I was trying to accomplish was to have him find the box and tell us what it said. Unacceptable behavior, especially because we had smiles the whole time. I feel bad for the kind old lady working with him because she was trying to help us out, but he did not handle the situation right at all. Instead go to the burger place 2 buildings down

Woof. Hot dogs are not very good and the owner appears to hate his existence and takes it out on the customers...perhaps owning a hot dog shop was probably plan z on "things I want to do with my life." I empathise as my uncle is in a similar position.

On the pro side the dogs were cheap and we did not get food poisoning. But if the grilled cheese shop is open I'd try there first.

Excellent Cheese Steaks and Hot Hogs! I was happy to recently discover the Dog Hut. The food is always hot and delicious. I felt like I was having a real NYC hot dog. The nice lady and gentleman that run this establishment are always welcoming, friendly and kind. In this world of corporate chains, it's great to see that we still have nice family run restaurants! See you soon! Can't wait to try the Chicago Dog on the menu.
