***** House of Dog, 21077 Powerline Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33433, (561) 826-9376.

Way back on May 1, 2014 Jeff Eats did a quick-story on House of Dog–a new restaurant that was getting ready to open in Boca Raton. That story is reprinted below. Do me a favor, read the story and I’ll catch you at the end of it with an update.
* House of Dog.
A “glatt kosher”- hot dog, burger, salad, wrap, craft beer joint is coming to Boca Raton.
According to Boca Magazine- The House of Dog which already has a joint in Miami is set to open in Boca Raton in late 2014.
Nothing for nothing, House of Dog’s new Boca Raton location is about 6 minutes from Jeff Eats’ home. In any given week, I must drive-by the-spot something like 20 times. From what I can tell, the construction is “doing” but its got a drop more “doing” to do. Now I’m no building or permit-expert, but I’m thinking maybe another week or so–and this joint will be ready to go.
To date, Jeff Eats has not eaten in the Miami Beach-joint, but I will tell you, that I’ve heard nothing but terrific things about it.
By the way, in addition to the Boca Raton joint- House of Dog is set to open a Jacksonville location sometime in the next few weeks…
Never would have figured-Jacksonville for a glatt kosher town!
When the Boca Raton location opens, Jeff Eats will “taste test” it for you guys…and you’ll know what’s what from my perspective.

Anyway,

House of Dog opened something like 2-weeks ago and Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats ate there list night.

Here’s my take on the joint.

DYNAMITE!!!!

House of Dog seats something like 45 inside and 40 outside on a semi-covered patio. The joint has 3 beers on tap and over 70 different bottled brews to choose from. On décor, old license plates-real eclectic-cool look–handful of flat screen tvs.

House’s menu has appetizers, hot dogs, burgers, sandwiches, wings, ribs, steaks, salads. Real cute gimmick-loads of toppings for those burgers/hot dogs.

Last night Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “tried”- sweet bbq wings, cheeseburger, grilled chicken sandwich, hot dog, French fries, onion rings…and I gotta tell you-everything was delicious. I know that some of you guys like pecking orders–I’m telling you everything was delicious, but between you-me and the lamppost, if you don’t get those wings-you’ll be making a huge mistake.

Now just so we are straight, because this is a kosher-joint, you do know that the “cheese” really isn’t cheese and the “bacon” really isn’t bacon–try soy and pastrami and you’ll know- how House pulls this “kosher” thing-off.

Young energetic staff headed by manager Ryan Roth had a packed house- inside and outside running like a clock. For a joint that’s only been open 2 weeks- Jeff Eats was surprised at how efficiently everything went. Shout out to House’s owners -very enthusiastic-super pleasant staff and the joint’s easy going-casual vibe couldn’t have been better.

Don’t let the fact this is a “kosher” restaurant throw you off…Jeff Eats is telling you, the food is real good. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

House of Dog is open Sunday-Wednesday 11:30am-midnight, Thursday 11:30am-2am, Friday 11:30am-3pm, closed Saturday but reopens at night (check for times).

One last thought…

Writing about House of Dog got Jeff Eats to thinking as to how many kosher-delis I’ve eaten in during my lifetime- trust me, it’s a ton of them…maybe I’m crazy, but I can’t recall ever seeing a Chinese (to be politically correct-Asian) person eating in one of them. Just an observation!
