“If you're looking for a good hot dog and burger joint, and you're driving past LaSalle, IL on I-80, I would strongly recommend The Dog House. It's basically a carry-out hot dog stand situated right in the middle of Main Street that offers a handful of benches to sit at. Small and family-owned, the service was prompt and friendly. There are thousands of places like this throughout the U.S., so IMO if you want to stand out, you gotta step-up you're game and offer something unique or different. The Dog House has chosen to serve up probably 40 or so different varieties of hot dogs based on cities across the country. Not sure how anyone would substantiate their claim that a hot dog from Fresno would be topped with bacon, tomatoes and cream cheese, but that's not really the point, is it?!? The folks that own this place have either spent a ton of time researching what hot toppings go on their tasty dogs, or they just made some shit up. Either way, it's a super fun way to keep folks coming back and it also guarantees that you won't soon forget your trip to the Dog House. Smart. BTW, for whatever reason, I opted for the Portland Dog - which featured a perfectly cooked hot dog topped with mayo, pickle relish and celery salt. It was fantastic. We also tried a Chicago Style dog, since that's our hometown favorite, and the Dog House nailed it! From the sport peppers, to the celery salt, to the pickle spear... someone did their homework. Well done. We also ordered a double cheeseburger and some cheese fries. Again both were fantastic. Crinkle cut fries cooked perfectly with the processed cheese sauce that one just expects at a spot like this one. The double cheeseburger was a nice surprise. Made to order, the burger pattys were a good size and they were cooked to perfection on the griddle. If I lived any closer to LaSalle, IL this would be a regular stop for me... if only to try all the different types of hot dogs!“
