Dog House Drive In

Nestled in the heart of Albuquerque, Dog House Drive In is a beloved local gem serving up classic American fast food with a flavorful Southwestern twist. Specializing in hot dogs and quick bites, this unassuming roadside stand has earned its place not only in the community's heart but also on the small screen, famously featured in hit shows like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Whether you’re craving a roadside snack or a satisfying meal, Dog House Drive In delivers a delicious and nostalgic dining experience.

The star of the menu is undoubtedly their iconic foot-long hot dogs, especially the Foot Long Chili Dog and the Foot Long Chili Cheese Dog with Onions. Each hot dog is expertly fried to a crisp, nestled in perfectly toasted buns that add just the right touch of golden crunch. The chili, with its teasing hint of New Mexico spice, offers a rich and hearty flavor that complements the juicy hot dogs beautifully. If you’re in the mood for a bit of variety, the Corn Dog and the Chicken Sandwich are also favorite picks among regulars.

What truly sets Dog House Drive In apart is their commitment to quality and freshness, paired with wallet-friendly prices starting as low as $1.30 for a Corn Dog. The sides are equally satisfying, with the Chili Cheese Tater Tots, Red Chile Cheese Fries, and Onion Rings all boasting the perfect balance of crispness and seasoning. For something sweet and cooling after a savory meal, their classic Root Beer Float and Cherry Shake offer a nostalgic finish, evoking fond memories of old-fashioned soda fountains.

Stepping inside, you'll find a no-frills, friendly atmosphere that invites you to focus on what matters most—the food. It’s the kind of place where locals and visitors come together, sharing stories and enjoying comfort food made with care. Clean bathrooms and attentive staff enhance the overall welcoming vibe, making it easy to linger over your meal or grab a quick bite on the go.

Customer experiences serve as a testament to Dog House Drive In’s charm. Elizabeth Sullivan was “pleasantly surprised” during a road trip stop, savoring the corndog, chili dog, cheeseburger, and fries—all “yummy” and reason enough to return. For TV fans, visiting the exact same spot seen on Breaking Bad is an exciting treat, with one customer highlighting the chili dog with cheese as “great.” Anthony J Martinez praised the perfectly cooked, still-crisp fries and the fried hot dogs with toasted buns, calling the staff “extremely friendly.” Meanwhile, J Centavo appreciates Dog House Drive In as “good old style hot dogs,” noting their quality “just a bit better than Sonic.”
