Description

Specialties

Chicago’s Vienna Beef «Gourmet Magazines Best Tasting Hot Dog in the Whole United States» (August 2006 issue!!) Sold only in Chicago grocery stores at $ 6.99lb. It’s the Taste of Chicago that knows no bounds…115 years later, Vienna Beef is still making Hot Dogs the old-​fashioned way, with Premium Domestic Beef and then Hickory-​Smoked for authentic flavor.

Not only bringing the taste, but doing it in the form of a «Pay it Forward» kinda way! At $ 3.00 for a ¼lb’er dragged through the garden he becomes your personal chef… dragged through the garden meaning topped with yellow mustard, relish, chopped onions, quartered tomato slices, the notorious Mississippi sport pepper and a hearty sprinkle of celery salt all on top of a toasty Koffee Kup Roll. The sport pepper is the ingredient that sets the Chicago-​style dog apart from other regional variations of this summer-​time favorite. With all these toppings you have a full meal of iconic proportions that will capture your taste buds

History

Established in 2007.

It all started on the slopes of Vermont when I was teaching little kids and Big Kids how to snowboard… inspired by being a «hero» I thought to myself how can you be a hero year round… Bingo…Hot Dogs! So I drove all the way over to Michigan, grabbed my first stainless steel cart, drove back and in August of 2007 T.J.‘s Dawg House was born!

I can honestly say I practice what I preach. I take risks, live happy, work my ass off, and love people. I’m a very practical person with a lot of common sense. I have been told by many that I am funny, genuine, and determined w/​a side of sarcasm! I have had my «ups and downs» in life in many areas, but through all my experiences I have learned a ton and my one true lesson that I live by daily and try to pass on to others is… Life is Good!

I’m a realist. I’m extremely random. I have an irrational fear of failure. I have anxiety, OCD and I have adult ADD. I’m very time oriented. I have zero tolerance for liars. I love Healthy Energy Drinks and I take in about 12,500 ORAC Units a day!

I’ve made some of the worst decisions in the past and continue in the present. I’m lucky to still be here today. As I age I’m finding myself wanting to make friends. I have high standards and expectations from others… especially those close to me. I Google everything. I’m very observant.

I’ve been here prob about 4 times and everytime I eat something delicious!
I’ve tried sauerkraut, for the 1st time, and it really compliments the meal. He has a variety of meat, drinks, and condiments.
He has chairs and 2 tables set up with umbreallas. It’s a great place to relax, get some air and listen to some classic rock. Not to mention it’s conveniently located between Lowes and Target!
Why eat a regular Sonic dog when you can have a yummy premium dawg made on the spot. Thanks!

Rating based on the HORRIBLE driver I witness driving down Arapaho between 75 and Preston, around 6:45 PM on 5÷10÷2016.
This person needs to be fired.
Speeding is one thing, maybe your running late. Whatever. However, MULTIPLE lane changes without ever using a turn signal? Recipe for disaster, man. Seriously, I watched you cross from the left lane, through the center and into the right lane all in one swoop without a single blink from your turn signal. Have you ever heard of it?! This one not once or twice, it was through out the entire stretch between 75 and Preston. Speeding down the road, the moment you got right onto someones rear end you would jump into the next lane without signaling.
How do you even have a license?

I think the chili changed? Also the hot dog was too well done. I wonder if I wasn’t supposed to notice because of the chili and cheese on top? Anyways Im going to go for another to see if redemption is there

There aren’t many hot dog places around the area to boast about. However, there’s one that has caught my attention, and that’s TJ’s Dawg House. The Dawg House is nestled between the Christmas Tree Shop, and Best Buy. You can expect them to be open almost all year round.
I stumbled upon this place a few years ago with my friends. My personal favorite is the spicy Italian sausage. The service is super fast, and they have all the fresh condiments all ready to be served with the food. The owner is really friendly, and nice. I’ve always received quick & quality service every time I’ve been there.

I am shocked that this place has so few reviews… this is a perfect «quick» lunch spot or to grab a bite before a movie! The menu had a nice variety of options and his prices are very reasonable. Awesome, delicious lunch. TJ (the owner) has an infectious personality and keeps you smiling. I love people who are passionate about what they do and TJ is a perfect example of that. Delicious dogs with a wonderful selection of toppings and options at a great price. No doubt I’ll be back!

Finally tried this place out and I’m super psyched to have a great food truck option close to my house. We ordered a chili cheese dog and hot Italian sausage and both were huge. We went for a snack but ate a meal. The fella running the stand was such a sweetie and the whole thing was a pleasure. Can’t wait to go back and try something else!

I’m surprised that TJ’s Dawg House has drawn such few reviews. In a state generally boasting very good food, but noticeably hot dog-​challenged, TJ’s serves the tastiest and best frankfurter deal in the state… that is, as far as my experience is concerned, and I’m not one to pass up an opportunity to imbibe the noble tube steak when it’s made available.
He serves a natural casing Vienna Beef, the Chicago royalty of dogs, perfectly prepared on the grill, and offers a full complement of condiments, including the fixins for a Chicago style («run it through the garden») hot dog. If you’ve never tried this variety of hot dog adornment, odds are you’ll be fascinated by the multiple textures, temperatures and resiliency. I like ‘em.
TJ has nice little tables you can sit at near his hot dog stand where you can sit and enjoy your rather good-​sized dog.

A great place for lunch! Reasonable prices and food prepared to please every patron. What more could you ask for?

This is a hard review for me to write, I love this place so much it’s hard to put it in words. My first time going here about 3 weeks ago I was in love. The hot dogs are incredible and TJ has got to be one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. His passion for his food is inherent in the first bite. I recently took my brother here and after a few mouthfulls he was literally brought to tears. Nostalgia is really the strongest word I can think of to describe this place.

Every time I travel that way from plattsburgh, I have to stop at TJ’s. The best dawgs in town! You have to stop in and try one! It’s a must!

Real Chicago hot dogs in Vermont. That what T.J. Is serving up and not only is it economical (starting @2.50 a dog) these are Vienna beef ¼ lb dogs to satisfy even a big appetite. T.J.‘s Dawg House at The Maple Tree Place Plaza in Williston, Vermont. In addition to the Chicago Dog (No Ketchup here) you can get other varieties of hot dog or top it yourself. I reccomend stopping by for a quick eat if your on your ways to the Movies or out shopping in Maple Tree Place.
