The Dog House

Hey foodies! I recently had the chance to visit The Dog House in DeSoto, MO, and let me tell you, it's a local spot you absolutely have to check out if you're in the area. I'd heard whispers about their legendary burgers and delicious wings, and I'm so glad I finally made the trip! Stepping inside, it's got that classic, cozy vibe of a beloved neighborhood eatery – nothing fancy, just good food and good times. It feels like the kind of place where everyone knows your name, or at least remembers your order! Perfect for a relaxed lunch or a casual dinner with friends and family. Now, let's talk about the food, because that's why we're here, right? Their menu is surprisingly extensive, with something for everyone. Of course, I had to dive into their famous burgers. I opted for the 'BIG Dawg' – and wow, it lives up to its name! It was huge, perfectly cooked, and definitely satisfied my burger craving. I also saw someone order the 'Ghost' burger with garlic sauce and provel cheese, which sounded incredibly tempting. They also have classic 'Plain Burger/chesseburge' options, which are always a solid choice. Beyond the burgers, their pizza game is strong. They offer both thin crust and thick crust (with a small upcharge for thick), and you can choose between mozzarella or provel cheese. I noticed they have a variety of toppings, even something adventurous like the 'Everything' pizza, which includes jalapeños and pineapple – a bold move that some people swear by! For those who prefer simpler tastes, a classic '1 Topping' pizza is always a winner. And you can't go to The Dog House without trying their wings! They have both traditional and boneless options. I tried their breaded 'Inferno' wings – they had a fantastic kick without being overwhelmingly spicy. You can get them in various sizes, like a (10) piece for $10.99 or a (8) piece for $12.99 for the Inferno. The 'Boneless 1/2' option at $7.99 is also great if you're not looking for a huge portion. But wait, there's more! Their menu features some unique delights like the 'Pulled pork fries' and 'Buffalo chicken fries' – essentially loaded fries, which are always a hit. I also spotted 'Turkey and cheege' (I think they mean cheese!) on the menu for $9.99, which sounds like a comforting classic. They even have special pricing for 'LIL PUPS/OLD DOGS' (ages 10 and under or 60 and up) at $6.99, making it super family-friendly. Everything I ordered, including my burger, came with '1 side', which is a nice touch. And to wash it all down, they have a good selection of fountain drinks like Pepsi, Pepsi Zero, Starry, Dr. Pepper, Mt. Dew, Diet Mt. Dew, and Root Beer. Overall, my experience at The Dog House was fantastic. It’s definitely earned its spot as a must-visit in DeSoto, MO. If you're searching for delicious, hearty comfort food – especially burgers, wings, and pizza – with a friendly, laid-back atmosphere, then this is your next stop. I'm already planning my next visit to try those Buffalo chicken fries!
